For nearly week past we have been very
anxious to hear from Major L,lIy's command,
which left Vera Cruz on the 7th of August, and
10 which the Companies recruited in this State
were attached, rumors were in circulation that
the train, after bloody battle between the respec
tive forces, had been captured by the enemy.
These rumors, we are gratiied to state, lurn out
to have been unfounded. The Picayune of the
3o.h August states, that there be no doubt but
Maj. Lally arrived safely at Jalapa, having had
several sharp skirmishcs on the road, the particu
lars of which are not given.


We are indebted TO the Charleston Courier for
this item of news from the Picayune, as we'll as
for important information from Gen. SCOTS army.
Gen. Scott it appears, had reached Ayotla on the
9th August, without firing gun. Ayotla is be-
yond the Rio Frio pass, and but ttwen,y-one miles
from the City Of Mexico. = .--..-.
