We mentioned in our last that Gen.
Worth was on his way to this port
from the Rio Grande on the steamer
Hunter. We have since learned with
great regret, that Gen. Worth has re-
signed his commission 1t isswell un-
derstood in the service that this step
is that old sourbe Of complaint, brevet
rank. But whatever may be the
cause, the whole country win regret
the loss Of Gen. Worth. 1t is no dis.
arrangement to others in the service to
say that, IN the highest and best quail
fications Of a general officer, Gen. w.
has no superior in the army.


Another untoward event 10 the ser.
vice we have to chronicle. On the
morning Of the 10th instant, Colonel
Cross, the acting Quartermaster Cen
eral Of the Army, left the camp on
horseback unattended, on business in
his department.. Not returning with
in reasonable time, alarm was excl
ted in regard to his safety,and parties
were sent out for him, but could OBJ
tain no satisfactory tidings of him.
Three or four days elapsed, and the
gravest fears were entertained for his
life, when happily, through the ener-
~ and adroitness Of an officer of the
dragons, it was asccrtained that Col.
Cross had been taken prisoner by a
party Of Mexican rancheros, consisting
Iof a captain, lieutenant and FIVE men,
and carried off. Not the least appre.
hension is nov entertained for the per.
sonal safety Of Col. Cross, but it is
not known in Gen. Taylor's camp
where he is. Mexican officers posi-.
lively deny that he is in Ma!amoros,
and we must wait patiently for little
while for the mystery to be unravel.
led. But let US repeat, that at last
accounts, the officers in Gen. Taylor's
camp felt no alarm whatever as to the
personal safety Of Col. Cross.--W O..
