The New York Courier and Enquirer states that
it has various letters from the Army on the Rio
Grande, Of which it states some particulars as
follows:


"Col. GARLAND, who pursued the flying Mex-
cans some sixty miles, taking few stragglers, had
returned to camp. Upon information, derived
from various sources, il was thought in camp that
it would be impossible, during the summer, for our
army to march for any considerable distance into
the interior OF Mexico, whether from the want OF
water or from the rainy season. does not clearly
appear. This was long since foreseen by General
ScoTT, appears from his recently published
correspondence with the War Department. But
the official newspaper, which takes upon itself the
dictatorial supervision of all departments OF the
+ Government, and which has conquered all of
Oregon or none for at least hundred times since
the campaign was opened, ridiculed the idea that
troops were to be stopped, on their victorious
march, by either flood or drought! The progress
of the season, fearful, will sadly vindcate
the sagacity and foresight OF the distinguished sol
dier whose advice the Union so loftily disdains.


:" II is mentioned in of our letters that near
|. ly all the oxen by which the two lS-pounders
commanded by Lieut.. CHURCHILL, were drawn
were killed in the first of the two engagements.
: The great weight of the guns, and the want of
proper cattle to draw them, prevented their taking
part in the second battle.
