CESTRAL DivTsioS-FHrfher from Gen Hcors Commamd. d.-On Saturday we received the following interesting letter from one high in command under Gen. Wool. Ashe writes .s.by the book, ,n his statements may be relied on.

 SAN ANTONIO DE BExAR, Sept ', 1916.

 It affords me pleasure 10 inform you that Gen. Wool intends 10 put in motion tho ad- vance of his division upon Chihuahua, as early as the 18th instant, He only waiis for supplies from Lavaca, which are on the way. We expect them sn the course of some four or five days. They consis, of arms for Col. YelI's regiment oi mounted men, ammunition ioi Capt. WashIngton's company of artillery, and subsistence for the troops. The roads have been so bad in consequence of rain, which continued for twenty successive days, that they were found almost impossible. A few dry days have greatly improved them, and consequently the supplies are rapidly coming forward.

 The General has been here preparing for the invasion of the province of Chihuahua since the 14th nli. He will no doubt enter ia- sapitai m ts,e sssonth of october. He SiIl have very efficient force, although ii will be composed principally of volualeers- They are the best troops of the kind 1 have ever seen, and exceedingly well officered. Tine Colonels, Yell, Hardin and Bisseil, are in- telligen. and efficient.

 The force now concentrated is rising ol 5000 Een. Of these eight companies are regulars, four of .slragoons, one of artillery, aud three oI the6ih infantry y--all efficient aud we'll commanded. If we should meet with an enemy on onr route, you may rely upopit they will give very good account of tbem- selves, as well as the volunteers. Indeed no one doubts of success with three times their number opposed to them. Adieu/ A.
