At an early hour thiamorning the schoo
nrr Harmonious Walker, Capt. Malcolm,
arrired trom the. Brazos. having made the
paaaage in nix days. Through the cour
tesy at Mr. Martin. who came passenger
on the Ichooner. we are placed in pastel
ainn at our corre-pnndenca to the 13m in
stant. and various items of intelligence.
yMrLHalarwritea an the 18th that there
were transports enough at the Brazm tor
all the remaining troops at Worth's divu
ion. and that every moment of cairn wea
ther was improved in embarking them.—
In three good days more the whole com
mand would be all.
By this arrival we have further informa
tion in regard to the troops captured by
Gen. Minon. In Minon'a own modest
report,*which is belore tun, his prisoners
are set dotsn at 82 in all. Besides the A
mericana‘taken by“-"lllm,’ihtft «atone.
Mexican named Galeano, who had been
with our troops as a spy and a guide. He
was immediately put to the sword. althn'
Major Gainer interceded tor him. We
have belore us another tiat ol the captured,
which includes the names of Capt. Albert
Pike of Arkansas, and Capt. Wm. Heady
of Kentucky. Capt. Heady was captured
two days nfter‘Majnr Borland’a party by
a party of rancheroa. His fate is uncer
tain. The party captured il now said to
have consisted ot tilty' Arkansas troops
and two parties at Kentucky troops. one
of tWenty five, the other at eighteen.—
Thelr camp was surrounded in the night
after they had marched forty miles. ‘
Report says that Capt. C._ M. Clay
wished to breakth-evranlu. but could not
induce othera to ascent to it, finding the
Mexicans so outnumbered them. Minon’a
command consisted ot two thousand and
some hundred men, aecording to some ac
'counts. ‘othera any at not more than five
hundred. Dan Henrie. Well known as a
Mier prisoner. who acted an an'interpre
