the natives of the country being ira

troopers to the diminutive men and

travelled over this section of the country

ritory.
Up to this time the commander OF
the expedition has refriincd from oc-
cupying amy of the towns in the ter
ritory through which his forces have
marched. There may be other reasons
for this seeming tribute to the feelings
Of the Inhabitants of the country but
the reason assigne! and that camps in
the Ope and as far removed from the
town AS possible are more conducive to
the health OF the men composing the
various commands
Thus far the army has been fortunate
In that II has travelled through a we'll
watered portion Of Mexico and has been
able to make camp every day on the
banks OF a flowing stream. The effect
Of this has enabled both men and horses
to stand the strain of the distance cov-
cred each day since the march began
ten days ago.
