The following letter from a friend with the arm,
although some days behind its time in arriving, y
be found interesting:


MArAMoRAs, August 6, 1876


General Taylor left here two days since for G.
margo, by the river, to await the assembage Of %
army at that point, for the march to Monterey
is thought he will be able to begin the march 6y 10
lst to 10Th September. His field force will be 2 '8
and If the I'd infantry arrive in time, say 900 ,o
lar troops, with about I, 300 volunteers-as foloH
three Texas regiments; two Ohio; one Georgia; tu
Kentucky; one Tennessee; one Alabama; one Nj
sisslppi regiment, and the Baltimore battalion,
all say 10000 men. The two Indiana regimen
will probably be distributed between this city uI
the mouth Of the river, under the command Of Brt
adler General Lane. One of the Texas mounr.
regiments, under Col. Hays, marches by q va
circuit through San Fernando, Lenares, &c, TO b,
the main body at Camargo, or on the march to MO
terey. They will probably find work, as Msi
is said to be at Lenares with the wreck of AnEit
force


The artillery will be composed Of Duncan's, RID.
eys, and Bragg's batteries, Of two 6.pounders, IA.
one l2.pounder howlIzer each, and fourth batter
of two l2-pound guns, and two 24-pound howtz,n
under Capt Webster-in all sixteen pieces, with ID
horses to each gun. They will travel easily.


The Dragons will probably be increased TO ID
or $50 by recruits. They have been nursing The,
horses ever since the battles, and are in betlcr eo
dition than they then were. Two ofthe Texas rec
ments are mounted riaemen, and will make .,
whole force ofhorse, say, 400.


BY the close Of September this column will red
Monterey, where the chances Of battle are sqi'
ciently uncertain to make it a matter of daily do
and speculation. The very air is rife with rumu1

here is worth listening to.


If there should turn out to be no enemy at Ma,
terey or If Mexico shall be stubborn after the fall
that place, is 1t the design of the government to d
tnue the campaign upon this route' IL so, III
corps will suffer even more than that of Gen. WW}
The distance and absence of all resources in the
terror make it impossible In Mexico, "Pqt
France." 1t is the seat of power, intelligence, n
intrigue-the prize for which contending genen(
and factions fight, and the winner of the bald
