timeyi vbs unable so yak myself, and hshOughs | vas al up wilh me. Bot. be- iieve lhase had my probasion, and will re- cover rspidly. Although condemned, from weakness, to ford the R,o Grands ignomin- lously, la wagon, 1 had sifo g1tiicasion of seeing thal cur Regiments was she irss flag unfarled upon the soil of Mexico. Y { the eanlnsszd is osdered. to leave here short- ly, and I can possibly 6ad any safe means of getting lo Camafgo, or. sonu other town, having navigahle communications with the GuIf. ! shall start for Littie Rock.

 fl was said, previous to the news from Monterey, with authority that tue Arkan- sas Cavalry would go on, with the Dngoons, to Monciova. aad there Col Yell would rs- main, with four companies, while the two-- Pike's and Pressaa,a, would proceed. with the Dragons, so joiu Gen. Taylor. The excursion 10 Chihuahua has, believe, been quite abandoned. l am sick of ranging over an uninIerrsting country, looking for ar enemy we cannot find, and, aller we leave here, my inability ss travel on horseback, will afford me good plea for returning.

 The town of fPresidio is very much like tha, of San Antonio, but somewhat more clean- ! ly, and shaded. here and there, with trees. In approaching it, it has quite a Moorish appearance. The inhabitants are much lairer than those at San Antonio. Some of the wo- men are truly beautiful, Their persons are not so di,ninutise, and their features regular and complications clear and pure.

 l had expected that should have to val, for some time, before an opportunity would offer to send ihis; but, understand .l.a. an express starts disectly--so, Buenos mochcs will endeavor to follow this soon, myself My love to all. Yours,

 LAW. P. s. Since writing the above, fnd the express will not start to-day. An express has just arrived from San Antonio, with lots of letters, but none for me. 'Tis strange, lis passing strange! But, n importe, ] have just changed my mind about being dischar-

  ged, as they say we will push on to join Gen. Taylor. a..d will either have a fight or be discharged, at SaltiIlo--about 250 miles. How could leave, under such circumstan- cesi cannot entertain the idea for mo- nient, even m my present weak and reduced eoaAi.:s,n.

 l shall soon be out of reach of the letters that have been written, (if there be any.) Gen. Mitchell has arrived al San Antonio, aud it is supposed Clendennin is there.

 Yours, Sc, L. A. ".
