az The resignation Of GenI WORTH,
of the army, will be heard of with regret
by all acquainted with the character of that
chivarous and gallant officer. This has
been caused by some decision, which he
deems unjust, relative to his rank. A letter
in the Bulletin, detailing the movements of
the army of occupation, relates the follow
ing incident of Gen. W.


On the evening Of the 26th, the gallant
Worth planted the stars and stripes on the
left bank Of the Rio Grande, in front of
Matamoras, from which it has not been
removed. Gen. Tay lor sent Worth TO
communicate with Meja, who refused to
receive the second in command, but sent
his second, Gen. Vega, to receive the
communication from Gen. Worth. Its
substance was, that the u. S. troops had
advanced without hostile intentions to take
possession of the left bank of The Rio
Grande Worth was offended at Meiia's
diScourtesy, and declined giving the letter,
but stated the contents. Gen. Vega open
ed a volumlnOus argument against the
right of Gen. Taylor, TO which Worth re-
piled that he came to state .fdcts, not ar
guments. Gen. Vega said the flag Of the
United States, now flying in his sight, was
offensive to the Mexican pride. Worth
answered, that that was a matter Of taste,
and as it was likely to wave there, he
would soon become familiar with 1t
How long will it remain?' said Vega.
It's tenure IS eternity, SIR, answered
| Worth.
