She sailed from Vera Cruz on. the 7th u!t. i and touching at the Bra zos stiled I hence ou tha 15ttt inst. Capt, A. C. Burjes, Mr M. Dcvino and lortj five teamsters and soldiers came over on the Tahmaroo. ' Capt Edward B. Bill, of ihe 16th Infan try, died at sea on board this ship on the 12th inst,; and, as it is reported , to us, of yellow feiei. II is remains were brought to mis city lor interment, Capt. Hill was a resident of Chichaco. and his mother residesstNapicrville.lll. He.had been despatched by Gen, Taylor on some spe cial dnty. " The Flag of the 3d inst. ssrs that a letter has been received by the command ant at Matamoras from Gen. .Taylor in hich he announces that he will leave Matamoras about the 1st of November, and make the latter city hie headquarters. W trust this tnay be merely a prelimi nary to a visit to hi family in this Stato 1- mm S passenger of tbe Tahmaroo we have a questionable rumor which was in circulation on the Rio Grande that Gen. Urrea was about t make a, descent upon the lower Rio Grande by the way ot Victoria at the head of 12,000. This number is doubtless an exnggeraiion, but that the whole line of the Rio Grande is very inadequately guarded we have not a doubt. Reinforcements must bs sent there. the Rio Grande between the robber gangs and the rancheros. The former plunder chiefly their ow countermen. Finding their outrages insupportable the ranchrroa are arming to put them down. The Flag relates that recently the robbcts seized up. on some goods belonging to a brother of one ot Hie alcaldes ol Matamoras. I he . . a 7 m. M wot thy magistrate became incensed of it. ana autnonseu me rancneroa to make wai upon tbe robbers.

Nine of the robbers were killed after a considerable fighting and the re mainder fled to the chapparel, closely Suraued by Capestran and a party from urges, headed by a gentleman whose brother these ssme robbers hat) murdered a short time previous. We learned yesterday on llie belt " au. thority that by the Tahmaroo a letter was rece'rcij from- an officer at - Ma'amorss, stating that Col. Randall, Deputy Pay master General of the United States, who lately started with $300,000 for General Taylor's army, escorted by Col. Butler's 8d Dragoons, (five companies,) had reached Cerralvo, at whichtpoint it was ascertain eel that ihe guerrillas were in such force in front as to render a belt necessary, and Col Bu'ler at once sent back forlreiaforce ments. More troops are wanted along the whole line of poais on the Rio Grande. In the Flag of the 2d is the following par agtapbin relation to. this subject: Our last accounts from Col. Butler and his battalion of 34 . Dragoons left thorn two day march . beyond Mier. The train which the dragoons are escorting to Monterey wis fished for several days st Mier in consequence of a report received that a large Mexican force was preparing to attack iU and a reinforcement was order, ed up from Cammargo, consisting of a company of infantry and two, pieces of artillery. Thus strengthened, with Col. Bellknap in command, the train procced ed,on. , The large amount of specie going up under this escort will prove a tempting bait, but we hsve no ides that the Mexicans will be rub enough lo venture an attack on so large a force, , , , -' x The same paper says sale of upwards of,200 Government horses took place there onthe29ibulu The sale was wrll attend ed and the horses bid for rapidly, . but at low nriccs-not averaging more than ten dollars a head. A large majority, of the horses have not been used since they were purchased for ihe Government, and could not bare cost less than 100 eaeh, besides coil of transportation, forage and attention for sever! months, Some ex planation! of this may be looked for. - - .
