Afisrsoii.o further discussion on the

Messrs. Daily and Ogle , again spoke a1
some length, and ; called for some tesmo

claims and qualifications.
Mr. Pearson took the floor and mads
an able and eloquent speech, pronoun
cing a beautiful eulogy upon the private
and political character and moral worth

proverbial, ami hw private me was vim

the highest terms. He referred briefly al
so to his public acts which he said spoke

ifested by the -Convention and tne audi

Mr Ball also made an eloquent and tri

ed the dirk, benighted Lccofoco region
he came from, would be redeemed the
IMit would break upon them. '
Mr Bard then arum took the floor, and

Mr Allison congratulated the Conven

LATEST FROM THE BRAZOS.
FftOtt THE N. O. PlCATCNE 07 FEB. 2j.
- ' - -
At an early hour this morning " the
schooner Harmonious Wralker . arrived
from Brazos, having made tho passage m
six lays Through the courtesy ol Mr.
. passenger on 'the
schooner, we are placed in possession of
.Uul Mkl w ' j,
our correspondence to the 18th instant,
and various items of intelligence. . ,
Air. Haile writes; on the 18th,; that
there were transports enough at the Bra
zos - for all the. remaining troops of
Worth's division, and that every moment
of calm weather was improved in embar
king them. In three good days more the
whole command would be off. -, .-- '
By this arrival we have further infor
mation in regard to the troops captured
by Gen. Minon. InMinon's own mod
est report, which is before us, his prison
ers are set down at eighty-two in all. -Besides
the Americans taken by him,
there was one Mexican, named Galeano,
who had been with our troops as a spy
and a jruide. . He was immediately put lo
the sword, although Maj. Gaines interce
ded for him.
We have before us another list of the
captured, which includes the names of
Capt. Albert Pike, of Arkansas, and Gapt
Wm. Heady, of Kentucky. Captain
Ileadv was ctplurncd two days after Ma
jor Borland's party by a party of rancho-
ros. His fate is uncertain.
The party captured is now said to have
consisted of fiftv Arkansas troops and
two parlies of Kentucky troops, one of
twenty-five, the other of eighteen. Their
camp was surrounded in the night, after
they had marched forty miles.
Report says that Capt. C. M. Clay
wished to break the ranks, but could not
induce others to assent to it, finding the
Mexicans so outnumbered them. Alt
non's command consisted of. two thou
sand and some , hundred men, . according
to some accounts; others say of not more
than five hundred. Dan Henric, weld
known as a Mier prisoner, who acted as
an interpreter to the . Arkansas troop3,
made his escape , from the Mexican camp
on Major Gaines's horse. The guard fir
ed upon him, but he escaped uninjured.
The prisoners arrived at San Luis on the
2Gth ultimo. . ' .
Mr. Haile ffives another important i-
tem. It is to the effect that on the 27th
ultimo there marched out of San Luis for
Tanque de la Vaca, the place where Mi
non made his capture, three bodies of In-
fatiirv. a bri,-rad of cavalrv. and that of
foot "artillery, with more than fourteen
pieces of artillery., lhese pieces consis
ted of three 24-pounders, three 18-poun
ders. four IG-pounders, and the others 8
and G-Dounders. . It was also said that
within two days another division would
march, and. shortly after, the rest of the
force remaining in San Luis . Potoi. So
it appears the b!owr is lobe struck in tho
direction of Saltillo. Santa Anna's ad
dress to his troops, dated the 27th ultimo,
favors this idea, and would seem to leave
no doubt about it, but we learn that the
opinions of the officers in our array are
various on this point. Many think San
ta Anna is in truth on his way to Vera
Cruz, aud that the display of force on the
oilier side of S311 Luis is intended to inask
his movements, and hide the weakness
of the latter place. - - - .
Gen Wool apprized Gen. . Taylor, to
wards the end of January, that he anti
cipated an attack at Saltillo. In conse
quence, Gen. -Taylor left Monterey mi
the 1st of February with his staff for Sal
tillo. He took with htm Bragg's battery
and Thomas's battery, the 1st Mississip
pi Rifles, and May's squadron - of dra
goons. Capt. Thomas F. Marshall was
to leave Monterey on the 3d instant with
his company of mounted men also forSal
tillo. Capt. Gordon, with a detachment
of 150 recruits for the different regiments
"also left Menterey for Saltillo with Gen.
Taylor. ' ': : , . . --
The American forces at Saltillo would
be between 5,000 and 6,000 men. In
addition to the two batteries named aboTe,
the batteries of Capt. Washington and
Capt. Webster were at Saltillo, and at
last accounts the troops were throwing up
formidable fortifications. Little appre
hension is felt a3 to the result of any at
tack which may be made upon that
point. , :
The number of troops left at Monterey
does not exceed 500 men, but the citidal
or "Black Fort" is held by them, and
tnereisno route by which the Mexicans
can reach tbcciivwith-artilJery.save bySal -
tillo. Without artillery any attempt upon
Monterey, would be futile. Thejtroops at j Qtit Pujce's regiment remained at San
Monterey consist principally of Ohio and j ta'pe'f and a large number had died as
Indiana volunteers, all under the com- raany as eight per day disease, diar
mand of Col. Rogers. Captain Arnold, Tnoea " .
of the 2d dragoons, has also been ordered
to proceed to Monterey from the mouth
of the Rio Grande.
Wc have conversed with an intelligent
o , j,-t
Spanish gentleman who left Durango on
.i t e r, ,
the 15th January Seuor Benito Velez,
. -
a nepnew, we learn, ol i'eter Harmony,
of New York. Scnor Velez confirms all j
that we have said of the action near El Pi.-
so on the 25Ui of December. The loss
of the Mexicans in that affair was about
180 men. No news had reached Durar.
go of the fall of Chihuahua when our in-1
iormani lett mere.
M .... -
On the 10th of Jnmiarv.' Gnnpral He-
rcdia left Durango for Chihuahua at the
head of 700 men, of whom 150 were
cavalry. He took with him i.sno mus-i
kets and two pieces of artillery. When,
he reached Cuencame, in the north part
of the State of Durango, . he heard the
news of the action near El Paso; and,
leaving, there his infantry, he pushed on
to - Chihuahua with his cavalry, with the
view to assume the command of the Gov
ernment forces there.
Theeavalrv of Cuiltz, which was in I
theaetion of the 2oth of December, and
which; protected, as far as possible, the
retreat of the Mexicans upon 11 faso,anu
afterwords Cariz J, had dwindled down to
a handful by desertions which took place
at tii 2 different ranchos on the route. -
F&om the N. O. Delta of February 25.
: T SANTA ANNA'S ADVANCE.
If the statement mads by all the Mex
ican papers and letter-writers be entitled
ican papers auu -
to confidence, it is obvious that Santa An-.
na entertains .dt-surns
against Monterey, ;
and has begun ' his march against ma;
point.. Our correspondence -represents
that large bodies of troops are being
thrown forward -ipon the road to Monte
rey, as well as the road between Tampi
co and Monterey. But Uie most definite
statement we have seen is contained in a
letter published by La Patria last even
ings from Tarapico, of the date of 0th
February, which states that 16,000 of the
most brilliant troops are marching for the
road between Saltillo and Monterey.
This information was communicated by a
letter written from : San Luis. Another
letter, written lrom Tula, of . the date of
3d February, slates that on the 1st of the
month Gen. Parodi with a brigade of 1,-
500 men, composed of Ihe. tweilin regi
ment of infantry, of the hue, styled the
"Faithful Soldiers of San Luis," and a
baltallion of the National Guard of Jalis
co, with three pieces of artillery, were
marching" in the direction of Monterey by
thfl rnnd of Mateherala. The sieiina is
foniffed at every point by the battallions
of Puebla, Guarda Costa.de Tampico,
the company of Veterans, and three com
pany of ' cavalry. In the village of Val
les, Col. Jose Antonio del Castillo is sta
tioned with a respectable force to defend
that point. Gen. Urrea, with 1,500 men
of the first regiment of cavalry, "Primero
Republicano," must have already arrived
at Victoria de" Tamaulipas. ' ,
These movements are no doubt made
for the purpose of drawing off our forces
from the contemplated attack on Vera
Cruz. Santa Anna expects to cut ofl
Taylor's communications, to block up
both the roads o Camargo and to Tam
pico. These movements are by no means
to be regarded as insignificant; they de
serve the serious consideration, and will
no doubt excite the utmost' vigilance and
activity of preparation among our forces
near Monterey. Fortunately Gen. Tay
lor, who is never caught, nappiug, is in
command at Monterey; with about 4,000
men. This force can easily hold that
place until reinforced. But, in the mean
time, the Mexicans are pushing toward
Matamoras, from the road which leads
through Victoria. Urrca'a cavalry are
no doubt the advance of a large fercc in
tended for this point. This will be a
bold movement, but it is characteristic of
Urrea, who is a prompt and decided of
ficsr. " If, however, his force consists on
ly of cavalry, we do not apprehend any
serious consequences from an attack on
Matamoras. The greal fear is, that they
may intercept our communications along
the river, and the road from Matamoras
and Cainargo to Monterey.
Lvpobtant! Since the above was
written, we have seen a letter from a
Mexican officer, written in great confi
dence and secresy, stating and Gen. Ur
rea had been ordered to march on Mata
moras, and was already considerably ad
ved on ihe road.
LATE FROM SANTA FE.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE ST. LOUIS UNIOX.
. Independence, Feb. 10, 1817.
' The dearth of news has kept me silent
for some weeks, and even now I cannot
five you welcome intelligence. Mr. Set
Jocr, of St. Louis, has just arrived with
a few men from the plains. They lefl
Santa Fcon the 18th December, and look
more like icicles of the north pole than
human beings. They have suffered
much, both from cold and hunger, having
losl all their mules upon the way. Some
hundred and fifty persons, Government
teamsters and adventurers, were scattered
along on this side of the Big Arkansas.
A great many had frozen to death; a
small wagon and two oxen were all the
team left, and, if divided out, not seven
days rations were among the total num
ber. Thev think that at least one hun
dred must'perish. They saw the foot
prints of fresh-shod mules at Pawnee
Fork, which wc suppose must have been
those of Capt. S. P. Scblette, who
went out with Government despatches in
January. At the time they left Col. Don
iphan 'had sent to Santa Fc for the St.
Louis, artillery companies. As soon as
! tjICy coud cpme up with rum anu ine

drawn by horses over an ordinary road,
