making preparations for a march to wards San Luis Potosi, a distance of 4-00 miles from Monterey—and theonly place between here nnd there that we will meet with any opposition. Part of Gcn. Worth's division (to which I be¬ long) will-march inimeaiately for Sal¬ tillo, (75 miles) establish a depot, und remain a few days until we are relieved by other troops. We will then proceed to San Luis Potosi, establish depots, and remain there until we have suflicient force to attack that place.
Gen.Patterson, with nbout 500 troops, hns left Camargo for Tampico, a sea¬ port, where everything can be landed by water with much more convenience than by land.
There is no doubt but that we will have a much harder fight yet than w-e hnve had, but not for two or three months. We were in hopes that Vera Crnz would have been attacked:— but it seems that we have to do all the fighting.—Two divisions of our army, which Gen. Taylor was with, had hard times in the fight; they took the guns out of several of the Mexican forts, with a great loas of men. They could not hold their position ; they were obliged to retreat with the guns, and could do nothing more. Gen. Worth's division was the means of conquering thom here.
