avown party, made his way back, carefully
avoiding the road TO Camargo.


A hundred Mexican stories were in
Circulation at Camargo, when left in refer
ence 10 the battle between Gen. Taylor aud
Santa Anna. They say ii ha d already coniin-
ued three days with considerable loss on our
side but much greater on that of The Mexi-
cans. Subsequent accounts represent Gen.
L. as having fallen back on Monterey
The day left Camargo "a letter received
from The alcalde OF Mer saying that the
Mexican troops had entered that town TWEEN
ty-four miles distant from the former place
and had made him prisoner in consequence
OF his endeavorlng 10 secrete stores left be-
hind in his charge when Lieut.. Col. McCook
eyacuted the place. Col. Cruiis intended
to march with his regiment for Monterey the
moment Col Drake, with the Sd Indiana reg
ment arrived from Malamoros 10 relieve
him. The later officer was awaiting the ar
rival of the Mississippi regiment. which met
on the river short distance below Maiamo-
ros on its way up. This regiment and six
companies of the Virginia regiment under
Lieut.. Colonel Randolph which arrived at Ca
margo the day leil that place the only
volunteer IeRitucitS dlIiNCQ dt htO
all the other regiments that had arrived
hayoing been sent below 10 Lobos, From
what source Gen. Taylor is to expect relief
it is impossible to say. Every soldier, and
in fact double or thrice the number that now
constitute the garrison al the different de-
pots, are actually necessary Tor theil defence
and mol one can be spared. Information can
hardly reach Gen. Scott in limee for him
TO march division 10 his relief


In addition TO the above, which reduces
10 some otder and certainty our information
from the Rio Grande, we learn further from
DR.. Jarvis that bearerof dispatches had left
Camargo for 'rampico, and sailed from the
mouth of the Rio Graude on he 10Th inst.
on the McKim. II the Information we gave
in auolher column from Tampco be strict
Iy authentic, the messenger would not reach
his destination ill The departure Of all the
troops which can be spared from that point
1t would seetr. however, that from Tampico
by the way of Victoria, Gen. Taylor must
look for his reinforcement.


The Mexican citizens in the valley of
the Rio Grande are abandoning their homes
in crowds. Maiamoros and Camargo are
stripped OF their native inhabitants They
dread the approach OF their own army more
than the present one of'ours.


No fears are expressed for the safety of
! Camsrgo where we have vast amount of
stores. These are 1890 fighting men in
the place, including all classes. They are
well armed and the place SO strongly fortified
that in will not probably be attempted.


We are mos happy TO say that The reported
capture Of McCnloch and his maud is
unfounded. IfhaIm has occurred TO him, il
must have been Somewhere beyond Monler-
ey.


We have an abundant supply oi repoued
incidents by this arrival, may Of which are


Interesting and would be important were
they authentic, bnl enough is knuwn with
certainty of The position Of aiiairs on The Rio
Grande and al Saltillo To excite tlalh wlhout
