Int this, he adds, cannot be so, as two cats

The Star of the 9th says Senior Quijano,

City of Mexico March S. ls4s.
| ORDERS.
The general commanding this brigade has
had the good fortune to command Col. Hays's
Texan Rangers and Ma ior Folks cavalry bat
talon in several expeditions, and he cannot
suffer himself TO be thought unmindful at his
departure of their eminent services under him
So far as it may be proper for him to ex-
press, he assures them all that no troops ever
behaved better in battle or upon the march,
than they have behaved. He is proud to
have commanded them and 10 have shared
their entire success and honor For their
courage, obedience and promtpness he tenders
them his sincere thanks.
The general can never forget the strong
personal attachment evinced towards him BY
the officers and men upon all occasions. He
parts from them with deep regret-compelled
to absent himself for time by the condition
of his private affairs. That they may long
wear their laurels, enjoy distinguished pros
perlty, and finally return in peace and honor
to their homes, their families and their friends,
is his ardent and parting wish. By order OF
Brig. Gen LANE:
