No Report for the month of March has been received, but from the correspondence it is believed that one has been forwarded. Extracts from a letterfrm Coxi. BUTLER, to the Governor, Above you have ths Report of the deaths, discharges, &c., of the Regiment, for the month of April, not heretofore reported, which under all the circumstances is as fortunate as we bad any right to expect. Our sick report at present is still a large ono,-but one man dangrous. Our cli mate now is much better,- but vory damp. it is believed that the~ rainy season has commenced. 'I have nothing to. give you of the general operations in this country more than the public prints have communica ted. The Palmetto Regiment did not participate in (lie late brilliant achievement at Cefro Gordo,'owing to their having been sot down on the expedition to Al varado. The effects of that battle upon the country beyond: the success of our arms, had no effect towvar'de producing a peace; the apparent effect is to weaken -Santa'Ana's power and to increase the deep national bitterness of feelings to wards the "North Americatns." CAMP OF PALh1ETTO REGIMENT, ? NearJA!.apA, Mexico, A pril 30. T1e~undrsite, the. committee ap y~fhffl~t~ ~ ho Palmetto Regt. to examine the accounts of theFie Officers of the regiment and to repor(upt themann'er in which the appropt'iatiot made by the State of South Carolina, f< the use of the Regiment, has been disburi ed have perfortned the duty assigne them. The accounts was laid before them an vouchers produced to sustain each iterr Upon a careful comparison, they find th account perfectly correct. Before the Regiment left the State, th Field Officers found it necessary to plac the fund in the hands of a Paymaster, an appointed as their Attorney, Maj. N. 1 Eaves, a gentleman well known in Sout Carolina, and who had with great spir left his home to serve in the ranks. It i due to him to say that he has manage with groat prudence and fidelity the Stat bounty placed in his hands, and actin; wvithout renumeration, has earned for him self the thanks of the whole Regiment. A consolidated account is herewith pre sented, which exhibits at one view, th nature of the disbursements which hay been made and the total amount of th various items.. The fund has all beet atder the direct control of the Field Oli cars, and no payment has been made it any case excbpt upon their written orders Every voucher produced, bears on it face the approval of those officers and at arder for payment. The amount appro priated for the sick has not been. in and ne case large, but judging from the von :hers, have been bestowed impartially and in numerous cases of individual no essity and suffering. It will be remem )ered that the first march was throngi 3eorgia and Alabama in an unusuall' old and wet season. The result wa: a considerable number of sick, and the, were left on.the road in charge of officers a private hospitals. In all such case money was left or sent back for their elief. Music has been one of the imos extensive items charged to this fund; nex ,o arms and uniformd. nothing contribute ;o material to th, discipline and -efi iency of a . giment as an organized bant >f music. Under this belief. strenuous exertion were made before the Regiment,.left 'thi state, to.supply this importantf ant, bu most of the. military riusicianstliere ben olored- persons 'who' iwere -unwilliig n eave the State, great difficulty was foun a procuring it, White mullicianswere a eogth.procurod but they. ivould' feLj [t became, necessary .t hen .toadi ijeethi tdditional pay and- purchase. instrument: rom the State fund. In organizing the Regiment in Char eston mutic .was indispensable, and we procured at the usual prices paid then, a the vouchers show. The next item is for camp equipage ani utensils. This expenditure is accolinte for by the fact that the various companie composing the Regiment began . to mov from their homes to rendezvous early it December, and they received none of thos articles from the Government till the las January, at Mobile, when upop the poin of embarking. In this interval of two months, to supply the necessities of 901 men living in camp, the only fund to lout to in the emergency, was the liberal do nation-of the State, and your comnitte, think it was properly so applied. It wil be remembered that the South Carolii Regiment was called on at a short notic to organizo and march to the point of em barcation.. It was distinctly announce to them that upon their promptness in re pairing to Mobile depended their chance for active service. The alternative thei presented, was to garrison the towns of the Rio Grande, an event above al things to bs avoided, anti a service 'whic] has proved fatal to htundreds of our sol dicrs. The State honor too, seemed, i some sort,..involved in thte active move ment of the Regiment. Each State wa striving :o put its troops foremost, an' South Cnrolina bad already been honore by the promptness of her response to th call of the President. To secure the big reputation and to place the Regiment in position where it might gain some distinc tionr for itself and for the State which ha so liberally supplied it, officers were ~die patched ahead to incite by. urgent. apphi cation to the Quartermaster and subsis tence departments to obtain iile'ans ft instant departure. By these ekertion mainly was the Regiment 'enabled reach the Island of Lobos in time to joil the army under Gen Scott, au'd to shai in a carmpaign highly honorabl'e to th American arms. It is important to' tat that of the alhounts which have bee eisi for relief ef the sick, and for transporfatio of officers on duty, it is confidenitly eitpact ed that a considerable part will be refund ed by the United Staites. In theso case no United States paymaster being at han the money was necessarily fronr this func to be replaced at a future day mBestdet an Act of Congress, passed. at its lat session, has directed the. prelimirnarry es penses incttrred by the(fStates, tn brirrgiti their Regiments into servtce, to be psi upon their hbing correct and properl vouched, Thero are ether ttems of ti account which will fall within the ;ptov sionis or thi-s act, and- form the subget settlement with the United States..* The committee would therefor-e recotr .end that application be made 's een practicable to the proper United Statt officers', for' the refunding such aifobtsa' arc of that description. r .. ~ Respectfully subhmitte d.~':~ .

The general commanding takes great pleasure in expression the gratification he has received this afternoon in meeting the Missouri volunteers. They are about to close their present term of military service after having rendered, in the course of the arduous duties they have been called upon to perform, 'a series of highly important services crowned by decisive and glorious victories. No troops can point to a more brilliant career than those commanded by Cpl. Doniphan, and no one will ever hear of the battles of Brazito or Sacramento with out a feeling of admiration for the man who gained them. The State of Missouri has just cause to be proud of achievements of the men who have represented here in the army against Mexico, and she will, without doubt, receive them on their return, with all the joy and satisfaction which a due" appre ciation of their merits and services so justly entitle. them to. In bidding them adieu, the general wishes to Col. Doniphan, his officers and men, a happy return to their families. IRVIN McDOWEIaL, A. A. A. General. By command of Brig. Gen. Woor.. Upon the arrival of this column at Mon terey on the 25th, and after having passed under review by Maj. Gen. Taylor, the following or was issued Orders No. 50. L en uarers.Armyof etpio; volunteers will proceed, ,ia Camargo, to the mouth of the river or Brazos Island. where it will take water transportation to New Orleans. On reaching New Orleans Col. Doni phan will report to Gen, Brooko, com manding the Western Division, and also to Col. Churchill, inspector general, who will muster the command for discharge and payment. At Camargo Col. Doniphan will detach a sufficient number of men from each company to conduct the horses and other animals of the command by land to Mis souri. The men so detached will leave the necessary papers to enable their pay to be drawn when their companies are discharged at New Orleans. The Quartermaster's Department will furnish the necessary transportation to carry out the above orders. The trophies captured at the battle of Sacramento will be conveyed by Col. Doniphan to Missouri, nnd there turned over to the Governor, subject to the final disposition of the War Dopartment. In thus announcing the arrangements which close the arduous and honorable service of the Missouri volunteers, the commandinggencral extends to them his earnest wishes for their prosperity and happiness, and ,for safe return to their families and homes. By comtmand of M'taj. Gen. TAYLOa. W. W. BL ISS, A. A. A.Gen. .We arriVed at Camargo oi the 31s'. day of May, and at Reynosa on the 1st of June, whence we were conveyed to the mouth of the Rio Grands on the 7th. We were shipped from the Brazos on the 10th, on board the'splendtd sail ship Republic, Capt. A. Blevin, anid, under a favortng gale, arrived safely in New Orleans on the 15ih. having in 12 mionths performed a dircuit of near four thousand'miles'by land and water. Ono more remark : Col. Doniphiau's command has been isolated from every other branch- of the army, ecit of from- all communication with the Governmeni and, in the absence of all instructions, left to. cut its way through tlhe'country of a subtle and treacherous enemy. D)esti tute of clothing and the means of procuring it-not having received a dimne since the day of enlistinent, and nono then-the men have almost grown'as did Nebuchad nezzar, being indeed rough samples 01 Rocky Mountain life. Their long-grown beards fio-v in the wind, similar perhaps to those of the rude Cossacks, wvhile their garments- are worn to shred's bivouncing on the rock and' sands of Mexico. Yet ti'ugh thtey are somewhat undisciplined they are hardy, unshrinking, independent men, such as indeed, would not "flattet Neptune, for his ttident,' nor Jove 'for hit power to thunder." .
