FRCfM GENERALS TAYLOR AND WOOL.The steamer James L. Day arrived at New Orleans on the 18th from Fort La-vacoa. * A train of 30 waggons left La-, vaooa on the 13th for San Antonio, and a regiment of Kentucky mounted gunmen had arrived at Victoria, about seven miles from Lavacca.The brigs Henry and Emrpessarto experienced heavy gales on tho voyage thither, and were ooliged to throw overboard part of their cargoes, consisting of mules, waggons, subsistence, Ac.jFrom Lavaceafsayj the Picayune,)we have hadjby this arrival various rumors touching Col. Harney end his movements. The acceount which appears to us the most authentic is, that Col. Harney became impatient of his long Jctention at San Antonio, and consequently took un his line of march for Mexico, to be followed by Gen. Wool,with tho dragoons under his]eom?mnd a force of Teinn volunteers* He reached the^Rio Grande, crossed thB river, was penetrating the country, when he received an order from Gen. Taylor directing his return to San Antonio, and placing him under an arrest. The Texas^ Advocate says, there has eithar been gross misunderstanding or willful disobedience of orders on his part, and adds, that he disconcerted the' operations of Gen. Wo?! to no inconsiderable degree The worst part of tho story is, that on hit return to San Antonia, a portion of his baggage train was surprised and! Cit off by tho Mexicans* Wo can find no good authority fr (Ms story, though wo have heard it from several distinctIvlt;1I0stftsources.
