from that place in about 36 days, resting on the
way about six. The appearance of both mon and
animals indicated that they had Jared well on the
way; both looking remarkably we'll. They tra-
yelled moderately, taxing good care of their ami

ARRIVAL OF TROOPS.
1t. w. II. c. WHITING, Engineer Corps, and
1t. w. F. SMITH, Typographical Engineers, who
were charged by Gen. Worth, with the discovery,
IT possible, and reconnaissance of route for the
march OF the U. S. Troops, now in Texas, des-
tined for this Military Department., arrived at Ell
Paso del Norte the 18th ut.
They left San Antonio de Bexar ON the 18th of
February last, and were ordered to proceed first
to Presedo del Norte, and thence on the Eastern
side of the Rio Ora nde, point opposite E Paso
We are informed they found practicable route,
the only difficulty, being scarcity of water, not
TO SO great an extent however, as to prevent the
march OF the troops it, in coso u better ono
cannot bo discovered. They will return by the
way OF the Rio Pecos, where it is probable a route
equally good with a greater abundance of water
may be found. They came through with an es-
cort of thirteen Texans. In the mountains which
separate The Rio Grande from the Pecos, thew fell
IN with some hundred and sixty Apaches, under
the command of the celebrated Gomez, who has
for years been the scourge and terror of chihuahua
The party was then in possession of and was
driving off large cdvalIada of horses and drove
of cattle, and had various other plunder which
they had just taken from Mexico.
They professed friendship for the Americans,
but they dogged Leuts. Whiting and Smith for !
two days, as they supposed, waiting favorable
opportunity TO attack them. AS soon as they re.
turn to San Antonio and report the result of the
reconnaissance, the troops will put en- route for
Presedio and FL Paso. and will probably arrive at
The latter place some time in July. rE-l
The troops designated to take post on tho ella,
will also take this route.
