The Yazoo City Whig

Important from the army - After the regular edition of our paper had been struck off this morning, the steamer Big Hatchee arrived from Camargo, and we are indebted to Mr. Hicks, clerk of the boat, for the following letter and other information:

Camargo, September 8, 1846.

Mr. Editor: I hasten to inform you of the arrival, post haste from Cerralvo, of Captain Murray, with information that McCulloch's Rangers had come into General Worth's camp at Cerralvo, and reported that on the 4th inst, about 40 miles beyond Cerralvo they discovered a body of Mexicans forming the advance guard of a large force. They retreated as the Rangers came upon them, and were pursued until they fell back upon larger force which was discovered to be from 800 to 1000 strong. It was the general impression that it was intended to attack Gen. Worth before reinforcements could arrive, and Capt. Murray thinks that a battle is being fought at Cerralvo to-day (the 8th,) Capt. Murray met Gen. Taylor, with a part of his force, some distance in advance of the main body and within 35 miles of Cerralvo, on a forced march to its relief. It is positively asserted that the Mexicans are determined to make a strong resistance between Cerralvo and Monterey. Ampudia and Arista are co-operating with each other, and their forces are augmenting fast - the Mexicans are rallying to their standard from all quarters.

The heat has retarded somewhat the progress of the troops which left here with Gen. Taylor, it being out of the question to march during the heat of the day. The troops were in high spirits and eager to come up with the Mexicans. Two companies of Rangers that were here, having their horses shod started off immediately after Capt. Murray's arrival. All is quiet here. Proclamations from Santa Anna, Ampudia, and the Governor of Tamaulipas, have been received in town, and are having their effect upon the Mexicans. The Proclamations of Ampudia makes the penalty very severe upon all who may furnish provisions, assist in transporting provisions, or in anywise aid the Americans. It prohibits them from holding or carrying on any trade with us. Death and a confiscation of property, are the penalties for disobeying the order. The proclamations having been received in Matamoros and Reynosa - being of more importance than any other.

We are also indebted to the clerk of the Big Hatchee, for the following extract of an Order published in Camargo, according to instructions from General Taylor, and signed by E. R. Kane, 2d dragoons, commanding the post.
