LATER FROM THE ARMY. By the arrival of the steamship MeKim, we have received advices from the Army to a very late date. A rumor prevailed at Matamoros on the 13th that McCuUough's ranging company had been surprised,defeated and made j prisoners, bv some Mexican Ranche- i ros under Carvajal. In relation to this report a postscript to our correspondent's latest letter says:?'' Une of MeCulJough's men came in this morning and I contradicts the rumor of the capturc of j the company. He says they went to China, and found about 170 Mexicans there, but they fled from the town, and old lien returned to Camargo. Various Vilmnr<3 nrr> nflnnt lini'o nVinnt IVin onomir ? 7*" ?

Tliey confirm entirely I he impression which we had ; been led to entertain in retr.ird to! the feelings of the. people of Yuci- 1 tan towards Mexico and the Lni- . ted States.

There is a ?*reitJ de-ii of talking * around and around.! about and about," but the trutb is ! apparent through all disguises and J pretexts. Having availed herself j of the, weakness of the. Mexican ! confederacy, she attempted to ex-' f tort some peculiar commercial I privileges irorn the Central Gov- ! ernmf.nt. nml sli<? ?iiee.enfl?*il in Imr ; design. But the Central Govern- ! merit has been quit e too jealous of| its rights to acquiesce in thesej grants extorted from its weakness, and all that Yucatan now ? esires is to obtain a certain and precise guaranty from her that Yucatan may hold in perpetuity these commercial advantages. This ques tion settled in its favor, t lie Peninsula is as thoroughly Mexican at heart as any portion of the country, and the present display of independence is but a hollow show. Every paragraph we read in the papers from the Peninsula shows that the population sympathize with t.ViA r.pnfral 4. VVJI llllicilt HI IW distresses, and if the prayers of the Yucatecos could avail, athe army and navy of the United States would be utterly worsted in the contest going on. In the mean* time Yucatan is driving a very good trade to anil from Mexican ports, and the mon<*y she makes is the sole consolation she has for standing aloof and taking no direct part against us. Ar. O. Picayune. A Chapter of Crimes.?Epns, the murdrnr, suspec/erf of having fulled h s own <t->n hie /.??? . - ..v. >?(.?> ?f?"i it w -c? - ccca and tilsu a Kentucky drover.?Since ho fact has been established beyond ihe shadow of* a doubt, that. Epos, who is now at largo, is guilty of murdering F. Adolphus Muir, late of Dinwiddie county, he has also been strongly suspected of having caused the dentil of several other nersons in the samp omin. ty?and among the number his own son and the mother, or mo. I ; i ?? ^ * i im*r-1n*i?i\v oi lvirs. r.pes. A lew years since an elderly lady?then an inmate, if we understood correct ly, of rapes' house, was taken suddenly ill and died. At the death of this lady, it seems, a largo estate was likely to Jail into the hands of 12pes, as guardian of his children, who were to be the heirs of their deceased relative. During the brief sickness of the lady, I'itH'N Wfl.x Ifnnwn 1ft linvn nilmin. -*I ?" tw > ?* istered a dose of medicine, or something which ho professed would give relief to her. The dose had been given but a short time, when she continued to grow worse, and soon expired. Nothing was thought, at the time of the sudden death of the lady?her friends not dieamimr lor a momont. that she had been unfairly dealt with. It is only since the developments in the Muir case, that suspicion has been excited towards I'jpes, in regard to her death. It has been only a i'cw years, too, since a son of E.'s was killed, as reported at the time of his death, by the accidental discharge of his gun, while he and his father, W. Dandridge Epcs, were out hunting. The account of young Epcs' death, from the lips of his own father, being so plausible at the time, no one of course suspected foul play ; but now it seems, that the son was heir to some property which the father wished to get in his own possession. This circumstance, taken in connection with others, leave very little doubt that Epes is the murderer of his own son. Nor does this end the chapter of his crimes ! lie is now suspected of having murdered a iirover, who has neither been seen nor heard from, since he. was known to have gone to IS pes' house, ?o collect. of 10. money lor a number of hogs sold. This has been several yeais ago, and, as a pretty good evidence of suspicion heinir nro nerly at J ached to Kpes Cor dispoiiin^' ol" lli<* Kentucky drover, the skeleton of a grown person was lately, within a w? ek or so. wo believe. found in ;t 11 Ice.
