IL was our pleasure yesterday 10 con. verse with Lieut.. Niles, of the late od regiment of Illinois Volunteers. After the disbandng of the regiment, Lieut.. N. took command of company of Texan Rangers. whose term of service has just expired, which, for the present, relieves him from further military duty. He left the camp Of Gen. Taylor at Walnut Springs, near Monterey. on the i7th uif. and brings the latest adyices from that point.

 The health of all the troops is good at Sallillo, Monterey, CerraIVo, Mer and Matamoras. This remark applies to those recently arrived, as well as tle more acclmated Ger Taylor's whole command al the present tune is about 10OO men-not more. Or these. Gen Wool has with him at Buena Vista 2900, or thereaboGt: there are ,mmedi. alely under Gen Taylor at Monterey. 800; and at Mier, Cerralvo and Mata. lnoras, there are about $500. This statement may be relied on. Gen Wool is impatient for the word-march for. ward to San Luis ! So is Gen Taylor. but before he gives that word, he de-. mands flat a force of 10000 men. all equal to active service, be placed under his command say 5000 men to advance with him, and 200O men 10, man his gar. rIsons. Some lime ago he believed a larger force necessary, and, believing so. he wrote 10 the Department, stating that If he were mt to ba seut forward. he could spare Gen Scott 2O00 men; but that if he were to be, he would require an aggregate force of l4o00 men. He now rules the necessary number al 4OOO less, for it is now known that the diff. culty of marcting to San Luis PotosI, is no more than such as in ordinary cases is encountered,

 The road from Camargo 10 Monterey is now perfectly clear, as indeed is the whole country this side the mourtsins, of any organized or guerrilla force Candles and Urea are no where-at least 1t is not known there where they are-bu il is believed that they have fal. len back, or. advanced, whichever it may be called towards San Luis Potcsi. or Ihe district of country between there and Fampico.

 There is a train of one hundred and twenty wagons constantly employed

 transporting army stores from Camar- go to Monterey, where laigs depot of, provisions is forming, in anticipation of the long lookedfor adyahce movement. They make the trip weekly. and are guarded by command or l50 men. 1t was 'n ihe rear of this train, in one of its recent journeys, that he pack mules were, On which was the property of Jar. niver, Eingsbliry and others. The train was not attacked, as stated, but vigi> lant watch not being kept on the rear, the mdlrs, with their valuable bur;hens were spirited away not by any regular guerrillas, but by proving robbers, ~ho rob Mexicaes and Americans with equal ind ference. The only line Of disci i'm. ination which they draw is. that they marder the Ameucans as. well as rob him--whilst they are satisfied 10 let the Me xicans pass, if lie yield up his purse

 The 'Od Man" (Cen. Taylol) keeps along in lhe same easy, Jog-not fashion,, so 10 speak. He has dofTed the old brown coa', and TOW moves about In his check shirt sleeys, and that same shock. ing bad hat. To answer all the ques>' lions pu, to him in connection with he Presidency by h's friends in ihe United States, N ould prove q wo,k of ncessant laboT--,he manuscript copies of which would form ponderous political cate. chsn. He has better sense, how ever, than 10 impose himself duty at orce SO proti'lessfand so ardnous Son.e few he answers, but thsse, as we have seen, in general terms only for he is deiermin- ed, at all hazlrdS, lha, no party shall make political caPital out of him. As soon would he tHink, he says, of turning his back on, and running from an ene- my, as permit himself Ie be. run for the Presidency by any parry.
