The pack e.iJdle, for -instance, is identical for the three purposes of transporting the gon, lhe carriage, and the amunition; whereas, in foreign services, the sadule is made Tor each of those particular purposes: and the carriage, besides being packed may likewise be transported by draft wher ever the surface of the ground is suffi ciently smooth for carriages to travel, and for this purpose shafts accompany, the carriages, which, in packing, arc detach ed, and carried upon the horse, on which the howitzer is mounted. The whole ar rangement of the gun, carriage, amunition and'equipment, is exceedingly eoaipaet, ne3t and ingenious. Attached to this corps, it is understood to be the intention of the "War Depart ment to organize a Rocket Corps, for ser vice in the field. This, likewise, is novel to our service, but for many years lias been considered a most important branch of the ordnance in the British army where the construction and service of war rockets have been per fect and effective and it is believed by the officers of our army, who have atten ded to the subject, that their use in Mexi co, will be attended with equal success. The introduction of recent improvements in this projectile, has added, very consi derably to its destructivencss, by increa sing its accuracy of flight. Movements of tfco Troops. The Malaraoras Flag says: ' The 3d and 4th Illinois Regiments broke up their encampments at this place on Monday last, and commenced the inarch for Tampieo. It is the intention, J we understand, to form an encampment at Moquete, a rancho about six leagued distant, and await the coming of supplies, v.hieh. we hear it stated, will take some eight or ten days to send forward. A part of the Tennessee cavalry regiment marched with them, and the remainder will go forward in due time. The com bined strength of the three regiments is not more than eighteen hundred men the two Illinois regiments furnishing little over half the number, sickness and death having roduced them one third their ori ginal strength, Gen. Patterson still has his quarters in the city, and we cannot venture a statement as to any fixed day for his departure, such information not being easily come at the best way to state it.is to say that he will be off when he gets ready. It is given out that the ex pedition proceeds first to Victoria, which will lengthen the march to Tainpico one fourth, and make it a journey of near five hundred miles. We cannot conceive vrhat everybody is to be sent to Tampieo for. "What do they in the south when they should be" somewhere eke. Military SlovemcniS.

The house though not burned down, is completely burnt out, from first floor to the rvf, with a large amount of liquors.
