LATER FROM THE ARMY.
Latest From Mexico and Texas.—-Arri
val of the Galvcstou*
By the arrival of the steamship Galveston,
we have received Matamoros papers to the 24th,
and from Galveston to the 30th ult. inclusive.—
The Galveston left Brazos J3t. lago on the 29th
ult., with thirty passengers and one hundred dis
charged volunteers. Cant. Wright reports ihat
he left seventy-five vessels in and about the
Brazos.
Monterey.—Nothing has been received at
Galveston from that city. The Matamoros
Flag of the24lh October, gives a translation of
a correspondence between Gen. Taylor and
Governor Morales, oi Nueva Leon, from a
weekly paper published at Monterev on the
6th.
The first ol these letters begs ot Gen. Tay
lor to insure the safety oi the Mexican popula
tion by proper orders to his army.
In reply, Gen. Taylor says: “I have to in
form you that the rights of individuals who are
not hostile, particularly women and children,
will be respected, but that they cannot be per
mitted to leave the city.
A few days later, on the 13th, Governor Mora
les answered to a requisition sent by Q,. M.
General Whiling for corn, and mules for bur
den, to be paid lor at the price allowed by the
Mexican Government; that the corn will be
furnished at five dollars per mule load, and'
gives the current rates of freight per mule
load.
The Matamoros Flag, in a comment on this
answer, says that they have positive proof that
five dollars a mule load of corn is just double
what the Mexican Government pays, the stand
ard pike being two dollars and fifty cents. So
with the charges on burden mules. But, on
that score, Gov. Morales only follows the exam
ple given by the worthy Alcalde of Matamoros,
who has purchased all the corn in the neighbor
hood and fixed his own price upon it.
However this may be, Col. Whiting looking
on the Governor’s reply as satisfactory, answer
ed that the money would be paid for all the
corn introduced on deposit, according to the
price stipulated.
On the 29th September, Gov. Morales com
plained bitterly of the excesses committed by
the volunteers in the service of the United
States. He proposes that the correspondence
be carried on in French, as he understands that
Gen. Taylor is perfectly versed in the French
idiom.
On the Ist October, Gen. Taylor answered
that Governor Morales must be aware that it is
no easy task to keep such men (the volunteers)
in subjection, and that although his great de
sire is to maintain good order, yet he knows
that excesses have been committed, but none of
a grave chaiacter.
“As to the French idiom,” says Gen. Taylor,
“I take the liberty to add that your Excellency
has been misinformed in regard to my posses
sing a knowledge of it, and inconsequence, 1
beg you will please hereafter, as heretofore, re
ceive my communications in English.”
Preparations are making, says the Flag, to
resume hostile operations. Trading parties of
Mexicans atriring at Matamoros from Monte
rey and its vicinity, state that their troops are
concentrating at San Luis Potosi, where Santa
Anna has arrived. A Mexican merchant, ar
rived on the 23d October, sayfc that no pfepara
tions are making at the Pass of the Rinconada
and that Saltillo ylll not be defended. This
news wants confirmation.
Correspondence of the N. O. Picayune.
Monterey, Mexico, Oct. 12.
A mail which was sent fiom Camargo by a
Mexican express rider for the army, about the I
21st ult., and which, it is believed, contained
important despatches for Gen. Taylor, besides
many private letters, was taken by the enemy
and conveyed to Ampudia, who received it on
the day of the capitulation. This accounts lor
many persons in the army not receiving intelli
gencefrom home when they knew it was due.
The wounded are all doing well.
Gen. Taylor keeps his t wo counsel respect
ing the nature of the instructions received from
Washington. Something is brewing, however,
and I can see that some movement is soon to be
made, though none has yet been ordered.
Monterey, Mexico, Oct. 16.
No news yet from the first mail that was cap
tured by the enemy. Another large mail started
from Camargo a few days ago (the sih inst,)
which shared the fate of the first. This makes
two important mails that have been captured
from us within a month. The last was taken
out ol the mule train.
Everything is as doll here as possible. As
%or letters and papers, we never expect te'see
more as long as Ampudia is permitted to
an as Postmaster General tor our army.
s anta Anna is at San Luis Potosi, but is do
ing nothing. He sustains Ampudia in his late
conduct. The fever and ague is spreading
through the army at a fearful rate.
in a list of the deaths in the general Hospital
at Matamoros, in the N. O. Picayune, we find
the following belonging to the Georgia Regi
ment, viz; Moore, private, Company A.; Bur
ton, private, Company H.; Gibbs, private

Camp Near Monterey, Mexico, )
t October 13, 1846. \
In this letter 1 hope to bring matters and
things up to date. There are many circum
stances that could be mentioned which are omit
ted, but will be referred to hereafter.
After the capitulation was signed, the Mexi
cans began to squabble about the meaning of it,
and several things were conceded that were not
intended, particularly in relation to the battery
ol cannon. Finally, on the 25th September,
the Mexican flag was lowered at the Citadel,
under a salute from theirguns, and ours imme
diately raised in its place, saluted by twenty
one guns and three cheers from all hands. It
was also raised, successively, on the torts Ten
et) a end Rincon del Diablo, with salutes and
cheers, and Monterey was ours.
The Mexican mounted corps encamped about
the town, began to move off on the2slh of Sep
tember, as did part of the baggage train of
males, Gen. Ampudia. on the 26th, left with
two heavy brigades of infantry, part of the
artillery and some cavalry. His column mus
tered 8500 men at least, probably more. He
look the road to Saltillo. On the 27th and 28th,
divisions, equally as numerous, marched In the
same direction. The most motley collection oi
men, women and children, white and copper-co
loted, with dogs, cats, game-cocks, parrots, and
a thousand other things, mounted on horses,
mules and donkeys, or on foot, accompanied
each column. There never was so mixed a
multitude. The followers were almost as nu
merous as the army, and as variegated in co
lors. Some ot the Mexican officers are as black
as any negro, and must be runaway slaves from
the United States or emigrants from the Spanish
Islands, After the departure ot these divisions,
the Governor also left the place, and our sol
diers thronged the streets, particularly the vol
unteers, who were anxious to see every thing.
They went into houses without ceremony, and
in some instances did not behave well. These
circumstances excited considerable apprehen
sions amongst the people, and a good many went
away, or closed their houses entirely and con
cealed themselves. Those fears are now, it is
hoped, being allayed, and it is hoped the people
will return to their homes.
The last days of September, and the early
part of October was occupied by marking out
and clearing up camping grounds. The first
division and all the volunteer regiments, are en
camped in the wood ot San Domingo, where
there is an abundance of water and fuel con
venient. The second division occupies the
town, of which Gen. Worth is the commander.
The head-quarters are in the camp, as General
Taylor cannot be persuaded to quit His tent and
go into a house. Some ot his staff endeavored
to persuade him to do so. He at last said, he
would go to oblige them, but should have his
tent put up in the yard of the house they pro
posed to occupy, and stay in it. This settled
the matter, and all hands are in the woods or
open plain.
I spent several daVs in town, and although in
excellent quarters and with pleasant compan
, ions, soon tired ©f it, and returned to my pallet
on the ground. The place is very dull; nothing
to be seen but soldiers and market-people. Four
fifths of the houses are closed. A Mexican
town is dull enough at best, but a deserted one
is insupportable.
Gen, Taylor seems to have settled down to
spend the eight weeks mentioned in the capitu
lation as quietly as possible. There is some
talk of a post being established at Linares, a
town about one hundred miles from here on the
road to Tampico; but when, Ido not know. It
is also saida post will be established at Rin
conada, about forty miles from here on the Sal
tillo road. 1 have good reason to believe Gen.
Taylor and other officers high in command, and
in the confidence ot the President, have writ
ten to Washington, strongly advising no further
advance into the interior on this line. They
recommend the occupation of the country from
the sea coast, say Tampico, along the line ol
mountains, and placing garrisons in every im
portant place across to the Gulf of California—
there hold on and subsist our forces as well as
possible on the country, and let the Mexicans
come to fight us, if their Government will not
make peace.
Herewith you will receive a translation of a
proclamation of Gen. Ampudia, issued the day
after his arrival at Saltillo. It is his version of
the affairs here. I expected (hat be would have
boasted more than he has, at gelling off so easi
ly. There is ao talk ot peace in it.
Oa the 10ih inst. an officer arrived post-haste
—seventeen days from Washington city—with
(icspalches. What they arc, is not publicly
known. Gen. Taylor, when asked, said the
stale ot circumstances here made them of little
consequence, from which, some intier his self
confinement to certain limits, has counteracted
some scheme of the President and cabinet.
The last news we had of Ampudia is, that he,
with the army, have left Saltillo and gone furth
jer into the interior. From all we can learn
here. Santa Anna does not appear to be firmly
settled in power, and the withdrawal ol this ar
my towards Mexico may be necessary to effect
some political purposes.
The health of the troops is generally good
here, and most of our bounded are doing well.
My first guess as to our loss was close, and
would-almost prove me to have been a Yankee.
In my letter ot the 29th of September, it was
j put down at 500; the official returns were not
then in—they are now; and are—— killed, and
wounded—total 490.
All the Texas troops are disbanded and on
iheir way home, scattered over the country In
large and small parties. Edch man has to pro
vide lor himself and horse, and I shall not be
surprised to hear ot some difficulties between
them and the people on their route.
Gen. Lamar has been authorised by Gen.
Taylor to raise a mounted company of Texans,
for twelve months’ service, to be stationed at
Laredo, on the Rio Grande. He got the re
quisite number, 84, in a day or two. They
have been mustered into service, and will leave
for their post in a day or two. O. P. CL
