The Arkansas Banner

We learn that the troops at present with Gen. Wool at Saltillo are the 2d Mississippi regiment; Rucker's squadron of Dragoons; Washington's and Sherman's batteries; Webster with his two guns; Prentice, with his two guns, and a company of Texas Rangers. The troops at Monterey, with Gen. Taylor, are May's squadron of Dragoons; Bragg's battery; five companies of the Virginia Volunteers; four companies of the Massachusetts Volunteers.

The whole force assigned to him by the late orders, including of course Gen. Wool's command, are the Massachusetts, North Carolina, Virginia and 2d Mississippi Volunteers; the 10th, 12th and 16th regiments of Infantry; a squadron of the 1st and another of the 2d Dragoons; five companies of the 2d Dragoons; Washington's, Bragg's and Sherman's batteries; Prentice and Webster, two guns each, and 4000 of the volunteers now in course of enlistment and organization.

We do not attach much credence to the following paragraph, which we find in the N. O. Delta, of the 2nd inst:
"A gentleman who recently arrived here from Monterey, had an interview with Gen. Taylor immediately before he left. The General told him that it was not his intention to advance on San Luis Potosi, but that it was his fixed determination to resign his command on the 1st of Sept. next."
