Y
is tbb telegram in fa vor of
dueling ?
E. n. Cdshiso, Es<i.—Ed Tel.—Li your
issue of 7tli NovemLer, your notice, approv-
ingly an editorial in a late number of the
Galveston News, approving of dueling
. (as a lesser evil,) and advocating a repea
; of the anti dueling law of our State.
Do you approve of the practice of duel-
ing? Do joo think it advisable, that the
lav of out State which prohibits dueling
should be repealed ? Is that your position?
Will yon admit communications on the other
side' of this subject ? PACIFICUS.

to profane swearing, intemperance, Sabbath

The Quitman Herald says that several
large droves of beeves have passed through

ThrHerald mentions an acre of ground

of cotton have been taken this year, and it
is not all picked yet. It is on the planta-
tion of Mr. W. H. Burford, whose entire
crop will average a bale to the acre. Wood

The Nacogdoches Chronicle has an ac-
count of the stealing of six bales of cotton

that county. The wagon was tracked to

Failing to show how he came by the cotton,
and in default of $1000 bonds, he was com-

Tip Richmond Reporter mentions the
completion < f the repairs on the Railroad
bridge across the Brazos, and says the lo-
comotive took over five loaded cars the
other day. Some improvements have beeq
made, Which, it is hoped, will secure the
permanence of the bridge. If the legisla-
ture would declare yie Brazos not naviga-
ble above Richmond, which for all practical
purposes, it is not, it would be a great ad-
vantage to the Railroads, as well as the
whole Msptry. A goad bridge above high
water, omdd then be constructed, at a sa-
ving of thousands of dollars a year to the

The Hempstead Courier of last Saturday,
mentions considerable yellow fever in that
town. We are pained to hear, By private
accounts, that Mr. Marschalk, the editor,
has several sick in his family. We certain-
ly hope he may escape an attack.
The Courier says that there were 5641
bales of cotton shipped from Hockley last
month.
The Courier mentions a daring burglary
on the store of John Q. Wallis, of that
place. The thief built a fire against the
back door of the store, and when U had
burned a hole through, put it out. He then
reached in, opened the door, and went in
and helped himself.
The Courier ha3 an account of the finding
of the dead body of a well dressed man on
the Railroad a mile and a half above Hemp-
stead, on the 30th ult. He was so far gone
in decomposition as to render it impossible
to recognize him. There were no papers
found upon him. The only way to dispose
of hi"> was to burn the body, which was
done, when the bones were decently inter-

Mb. Editor :—During the prevalence o
yellow fever in our ill-fated city, but few
incidents have occured, unconnected with
the ravages of the fell destroyer, worthy of
a place in dte journals of the day. In this
locality^ time for the most part, has moved
on in its pilgrimage to eternity, marked only
by the black hearse, the solemn funeral
procession and the sad wailings of bereaved
families. Amid these affecting associations,
many scenes have transpired, showing that
poor human nature, though liable to inhe-
rent weaknesses and to erfor, is yet capa-
ble of emotions and of acts tending to assert
the divinity of its origin, and to arouse into
full activity those latent sympathies of the
heart, which assign to man, the loftiest
eminence on the sphere of animate existence.
Especially, to the "Howards" of Houston,
is due the highest meed of praise for their
unremitting and disinterested exertions in
behalf of suffering humanity. Forgetting
for a time the imperious ^demands of busi-
ness, and heeding only the promptings of a
benevolent spirit and the moving voice of
distress in their midst, their post by night
and by day has been by the bedside of the
Wick, cooling the fevered brow, assuaging
the agonizing pain, or pointing-the dying
Mend to that home, where affliction and
sorrow can take no root, and where the
flowers of felicity in the sunlight of God's
eternal presence, bloom in fadeless, peren-
nial beauty. All honor to the noble How-
ards.
But, Mr. Editor, the chief object of this
communication was to record an act of
characteristic'gallantry, on the part of one
of our steamboat Captains. On Tuesday
morning, the silence of main street was
broken by the loud and extravagant lamen-
tations of a sallow complexioned foreigner,
who appeared to be overcome by some irre-
parable woe. Cpon drawing nearer, the
writer discovered the object of his atten-
tion, to be a poor wretch in whose bosom the
light of reason had been partially, if not
totally extinguished.
On the day previous, this victim of some
mysterious hallucination, just as the Island
City steamer, was about swinging loose
from her moorings, rushed on board and
plunged into the deep besom of the Bayou.
Quick as thought the gallant Captain, Ster-
ritt, was also overboard, with lusty arms mak-
fog his way to where the madman wasabout
sinking. Seizing the latter by. his clothes,
the brave Captain soon bore his shivering
burden ashore, where he left him a much
colder, if not a wiser man.

breath, he glorified God, and cxclaimcd,
"Though I have been a great sinner, all has
been forgiven me, and I am saved." In
the many conversations which he had with
his children, he assured them that all was
right with him, and that for a long, long
time he had been endeavoring to make his
peace with God. ne had many years lie-
fore promised his dying wife to meet her in
Heaven, and we have every reason to hope,
that his spirit has sought hers in that deli-
cious clime of Paradise.
"Friendafter fiiend departs;
Who hath not lost a friend
There is no union.here of hearts,
Ttntt Birds" not here an end.
Were this frail world onr final rest.
Living or dying none were blest.
Beyond the flight of time,
Beyond the reign of death,
There sorely is some blessed clime
Where life is not a breath—
Nor life's affections, transient fire.
Whose sparks fly upward and expire.

The Schiller Celebbatiox.—On yes-
(erday evening, we attended the celebration
of the 100th anniversary of the birth day of
the great German poet, Schiller; and we
must confess that we have never seen any
festival of the kind- conducted with more
genuine feeling, while the most perfect or-
der prevailed. At half past eight the invi
ted guests assembled at Mr. Danielson's,
and by acclamation, Wm. Anders was call-
ed to the chair, and a short time afterwards
it was announced that supper was ready,
when the company repaired to tho tables,
which were laden with almost every imagi-
nable dish, prepared in genuine faderland
style, to which ample justice was done,
while sparkling wine profusely flowed, and
patriotic sentiments were proposed and du
ly honored. Mr. Anders delivered an ad-
dress in German, which was impressive;
and from the frequent bursts of applause,
seemed to strike home to the hearts of those
who understood. The 10th of November,
1859, will be long remembered by all of
those who participated in the Schiller festi-
val.

On the Cth inst, Alfred Roberts after
a painful and lingering illness.
The subject of this notice was born in
Stokes county, North Carolina, on the 17th
of Augi^st 1805. He emigrated to Alabama
when quite a youth, where * he married
Frances Phillips, a lady universally belov-
ed and esteemed by all who knew her. Af-
ter her death, which occurred in October
1812, Mr. Roberts came to Texas; where he
has lived ever since.
There perhaps never li7ed a man with
more generous impulses, and a kinder heart
than Alfred Roberts; and though these
traits beautify and adorn the human char-
acter, and make men friends, yet to his im-
pulses and kindly disposition, Mr. R. at-
tributed his misfortunes in life, and they
were not a few. It is a pleasant reflection
in which his children can indulge, that there
are none to speak harshly of him whom
they have looked upon for the last time up-
on earth; for wherever he has lived, he has
impressed all with hieintegrity and unsel-
fish character, and his faults were almost
concealed by his many virtues. But a

those who loved, and mourn him He died

We learn that the H. & T. C. Rail,
way Co. have received bills of lading of the
iron to finish their road to Millican's in
Brazos county. There is about four miles
of grade yet to be completed. They have
also just received two new locomotives,
which will give them a full complement.—
They will open the road to Navasota as soon
as the bridges are finished to that point.
Of course, that statement in our last
weekly, that there had been twelve or fif-
teen hundred deaths by yellow fever in
Houston this fall, was a "mistake of the
printer." It should have been at that date
two hundred and forty-six deaths, and
twelve or fifteen hundred cases. Printers
are not above making mistakes, though news;
papers shoull be. The editor is not above
correcting the blunders of either.
Ten Years or Preacher's Life, by Wil-
liam Milburn. pf course, every body will
rush for the autobiography of the Blind

a Methodist itinerant, and is a book of the
most absorbing interest for all classes of
readers.
City Council.—J. M. Smith, Esq., has
been appointed by the Common Cquncil to
compile, codify and digest all the City Or-
dinances, to be published for the benefit of
the b'ar, Recorders and Justices, etc., and
to be compiled by January 18G0. This idea
was first projected by Alderman Shea, who
always keeps pari pastu with the progress
of the age, and we doubt net that the work
will prove of great utility to our citizens
generally. L.
Austin.—Our Austin mail failed yester-
day, but it seems reached Galveston. We
are indebted to the "News" for items. Hen-
derson of Harris, Taylor of Cass, and
Hubbard of Smith, were noninated for the
Speakership. After|lst ballot, Henderson,
though leading, withdrew, nominating Dar-
nell of Dallas. 2d ballot, Taylor, 42, Dar-
nell, 33, scattering 4. So M. D. K. Tay-
lor, Democrat, is the Speaker. The follow-
ing were elected viz :
W. L. Chalmers of Travis, (opp,) Ch.
Clerk. A. M. Bowers, 1st Asst. Clerk. The
Senate elected J. F. Johnson of Travis,
Secretary. Nat Raymond, 1st Asst., John
Wooldridge of Lampassas, 2d do. Thos. J.
Johnson of Cherokee, Engrossing Clerk, J.
Pat Henry, Enrolling Clerk, and D. C. Bur-
leson, Sergt-at-Arms.
Our neighbor, across the street, T.
E. Thompson, Esq., has, we observe, made
a public benefactor of himself. He has im-
ported a large clock with two faces, the
faces being four feet in diameter, which he
will set on the walls of his building at the
corner. The works will be in his show
window below, a rod and gearing connect-
ing them with the hands. The ^jces of the
clock will be risible on Main and Congress
streets. The workmanship of the clock is
of the finest character, and we are sure it
will be kept at the correct time. Such an
instance yf public spirit is worth talking
about, and we feel sure that our friend
Thompson will lose nothing by it. He has
imported the largest stock of'jewels, gold
and silver ware, clocks, and fancy goods,
ever brought to a Texas market, and will
command a'trade worthy,of Jhis stock, and

The News mentions the proposed cele-
bration of the Schiller Festival in Galveston
last night. " Extensive preparations were

The News reports but one death in^wo

telligence.
The Civilian gives some items of the cost
of extras in yellow fever in Galveston.—
Besides the physician's and nurse's bills,
the cost of one case was $278,20, and the
man died. Such bills ought to be endorsed,
no cure no pay.

Fort Bend county.
The Reporter publishes a half sheet, ow-
ing to sickness. There is no yellow fever
in. Richmond—thanks, we presume, to the
quarantine, which we hope may always be
as successful in keeping it out. Richmond
is almost the only town in the country where
a quarantine is practicable.

In Time.—Three candidates announce
themselves in the Waco Southerner for
Sheriff at the next year's election. Some
of them must be like our friend B. of Bra-
zoria, who announced himself for Chief
Justice eighteen months befor the election,
and wasn't elected after all. Fact was, he
took so long a run to leap over the fence,
that when he got to the jumping place, he
hj^l to lie down and rest. His opponent sa-
v%d his strength, and passed him at the end
with a hop, skip and jump. These long
races are of no advantage to the candi-
dates.

igration constantly passing through Waco*

The Gonzales Inquirer says that379bales

day week that did no damage to the crops.
The Seguin Mercury says a new-post of-
fice has been established between Seguin

Barrow postmaster.
The Lavaca Herald says there is no yel-
low fever in that place, and has not been

ed a quarantine.
The Columbus Citizen says that houses

The Rusk Enquirer says that a lot front-
ing 75 feet onthe public square, was sold

The Henderson New Era says that im-

The Marshall Flag says that the top crop
of cotton has put the planters in high spir-
its, and they will make a larger crop than
has been made in Harrison county for seve-
ral years. The Flag says the frost did no
injury there. The editor has had snap
beans, Irish potatoes, cucumbers and toma-
toes up to the present time.
The Flag and Jefferson Gazette are talk-
ing about Maj. E. A. Blanch, for State En-
gineer. We don't know what tliey want to

they find as scientific a man, or a more hon-

men of that town are having fine times now-

Farther Point, Nov. G—The Liverpool
and Queoec steamship, North American, ar-
rived at this point this morning, and has
passed up the river. She left Liverpool
Wednesday the 26th ult., and consequently
brings four days later news than we had by
the America.
The news, made up at Liverpool and sent
ashore, is of considerable importance.
Spain had formally declared war against
Morocco. The French treaty of peace had
been received with dissatisfaction in Eng-
land, and rumora of misunderstandings
with France, were in circulation. Consols
had in consequence declined; cotton, how-
ever, ruled firm; breadstuff's steady and
provisions unchanged.
Liverpool, Oct. 26—The sales of cotton
during the three business days since the de-
parture of the America, amount to 26,000
bales, of which 1400 were taken by export-
ers, and 1400 by speculators, leaving 20,600
to the trade.
The market closed firm, and prices for all
qualities of clean cotton have an advancing
tendency. The quotations of the brokers'
circular, taken out by the America, howev-
er, remain unchanged, as follows:
Fair Orleans 7J
Fair Mobile 7 J
Fair Uplands 7J-
Middling Orleans 7 3-16
Middling Mobile _.... 7d
Middling Uplands 0 11-16
Houghton S Son report that there has
been no decided advanoe in the cotton mar-
ket, although clean and useful cottons have
slightly improved.
Clare & Son report that the tone of the
mrvxkct so hflolthj, and priced "Of deslc&LlO
cotton well supported.
Drake & Kleinworth state that the demand
rims principally upon middling qualities,
with staples which are daily getting ex-
tremely scarce, and are realizing extreme
prices. They add, that owing to the scar-
city of staple middlings, the lower grades
must soon necessarily share the attention
of purchasers, and that already the pri-
ces of the lower qualities are somewhat
steadier.
The treaty of peace, recently concluded
at Zurich between Austria, France and Sar-
dinia has been raceived with great dissrtis-
faction by the people of England. It is said
also to be in many respects unacceptable to
the British Government.
It is reported likewise that a misunder-
standing has arisen between Franc€ and
England, growing out of the differences of
opinion as to the final settlement of the Ital-
ian question.
It is feared that serious trouble will grow
out of the question between the two coun-
tries, and rumors of war are agrin current,
predicated upon the extensive military and
naval preparations which are continued in
France.
The news from Madrid is also important.
The satisfaction offered by the new govern-
ment of Morocco, for the outrages upon
Spanish subjects therein, has been consid-
ered insufficient, as also the guarantees for
the future.
The Government of Spain, therefore, has
formally declared war against Morocco, and
the Spanish fleet has received orders to pre-
pare for sea immediately.
The Paris correspondent of the London
News says that the Spanish Minister at the
Tuileries has received assurances that the
English Government no longer opposes the
Morocco expedition, and has sent despatches
to that effect to Madrid.
The British Government is now endeav-
oring to make it an European qnestion, and
the press is very generally occupied with it.
The London News expressed the opinion
that the alliance between France and Spain,
in a war against Morocco, is anything but
reassuring to British interests in the Medi-
terranean.'
The London Times expresses the opinion
that the apprehensions entertained by the
Govemmeut, that the Spanish expedition
against Morocco will endanger the peace of
Europe or the English possession of Gibral-
tar, is absurd; but, it continues, "an attack
by France upon the independence of Mor-
occo, or any attempt to annex Morocco to
Algeria, would justify the strongest remon-
strances in behalf of Europe as well as Eng-
land.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times says that the convention recently
concluded between Palmerston and the
French Ambassador,'caused much sensation
at Paris, while the French Government still
asserted that France would not change its
policy in relation to Morocco.
The Spanish Government has repeated its
disavowal of any of the ambitious projects
which have been attributed io her in con-
nection with the expedition against Mor-
occo. .

Chablestown, Va., Nov. 8.—The trial of
Stephens, one of the Harper's Ferry conspir-
ators, came on here to-day, but was finally
adjourned, the prisoner having been handed
over to the Federal authorities.
This course was taken in pursuance of a
telegraphic despatch to the prosecuting offi-
cer, Mr. Hunter, to that effect, from Gove-
nor Wise, of Virginia, whoseobjects in trans-
ferring the case to the federal authorities is
to afford an opportunity for bringing prom-
inent Abolitionists and Republicans'from the
North into court as witnesses, the authori-
ties of Virginia having no authority to
command their presence from other States.
In accordancc with this suggestion, Mr.
Hunter at once surrendered the jurisdiction,
notwithstanding the jury had been already
empanelled, to the federal courts.
Memphis, Nov. 8.—One W. R. Palmer,
who is charged with having been implica-
ted in the late Harper's Ferry conspiracy,
wss arrested here to-day. He was reman-
ded to the city prison to await a requisition
from Gov. Wise.
Buffalo, Nov. 8.—A most destructive fire
in this city last evening, which completely
destroyed the extensive warehouses and
grain elevator connected with the Central
Kailroad, before it could be subdued.
The total loss is estimated at $250,000,
which, however, is covered by insurance.
Besides the buildings, some 200,000 bush-
els of grain were also destroyed.
New York, Nov. 8*—The sales of cotton
to-day add up 1500 bales. The market gen
(rally closed unchanged.
New York, Nov. 8.—The steamship Van
derbilt, of the Havre and Southampt on Line,
arrived at this port last night. She left
Havre on Wednesday, the 26th. ncr com-
mercial advices have been fully anticipated
by the North American at Quebec.

cent heavy and long continued rains, which

and especially to the cooperation of France
therein.

You are perhaps aware, Mr. Editor, that
the bulk of the cotton sold here for ship-
ment abroad, has necessarily to be com-
pressed at Galveston, before going on board
ships, and further, that almost every bale of
cotton shiped from this point is subjected tc
the tender mercies of the Galveston presses,
and a levy made incontinently upon same
for repairs, patching, ropes, &c. Remon-
strance is of no avail, nor will be until the
liberal construction clause of "usual excep-
tion*" is struck out of our steamboat bills of
lading. This enables the boats to make a
nice thing of it, and to deliver cotton bales
so signed for, in any condition they please,
being totally exempt from all responsibility
on this scorc. The Warehouses here issue
clean" receipts for cotton, and get the
owners of that same cotton, when shipped,
cannot obtain a bill of lading from the
boats unless it is clogged with "exceptions."
This one sided operation opens the door for
shippers to be practised upon, and for Gal-
veston charges, with which we are all so
familiar, to be piled on with impunity.—
Shippers have the remedy in their own hands>
and let them apply it; refuse to patronize a
boat that will not receipt for cotton in "good
order," when it is in that condition. The
bill of lading should set forth exactly the
condition the bales are in when taken on
board, and if in bad order, redress can be
obtained at once, as the Warehouses here
always charge for ropes, patches, &c., that
the bales need when they are received—at
present there is no accountability anywhere.
Steamboats men are as good judges of
what constitutes a clean delivery of produce,
as the gentlemen who "store and compress"
cotton for a livelihood; but with the pres-
ent liberally constructed bills of lading,
open enough for a steamboat itself to run
through, it is a matter of the sheerest indif-
ference imaginable, to "all hands" on board
of a boat in the trade, whether the condi-
tion of the cotton is good, bad or indiffer-
ant. With proper bills of lading the boats
would stand in the breach and see that jus-
tice was done the shipper, and this great
bugbear of "extras" and "petty charges'"
be put an end to. The custom now prevails
at Galveston of receiving cotton only in the
press, delivery on the wharf not being suffi-
cient, and the boats object to giving 'clean
bills of lading on this account. The plea
is not tenable, when we consider that cot-
ton cannot be materially changed in itscon-
dition in twelve hours, and that with ordi-
nary care, it can be landed on the wharf at
Galveston in precisely the same condition
as it was received here. It is a clear case
that so long as the privilege is accorded to
steamboats, to sign bills of lading in the
loose way they now do, so long will the
annoyances and impositions complained Of
exist. It is with you, gentleman shippers,
to soy whether they shall or shall not.

TEXAS PATRIOT.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1859.
Tiie news from the Rio Grande
which we give to-day is of an exciting
character. Making every allowance for the
exaggeration in seperable frem such an af-
fair there is enough in the information to
excite alarm for Brownsville, and the Amer-
erican pepulation west of the Nuece^ At
last accounts, Cortinas had routed a force of
130 men that had made a sally against him
from Brownsville, and taken two field pieces
and a good deal of ammunition, fte was
certainly in condition'to do a great deal of
damage in a guerilla warfare, upon an un-
protected and unsuspecting frontier. If
help does not speedily arrive, we shall look
with dread for tidings from the conflict.—
Meanwhile those who can go, ought tc arm
themselves and hasten at once to the reliei
of this bleeding frontier.
Shall it said that Texas, a country
conquered by its own people, from both Rav-
ages and Mexicans,- shall suffer from a bor-
der warfare from these barbarians? Will
Texians while throwing the responsibility
of defence upon the United States Govern-
ment, lie down and be butchered in their
houses? The United States Government
has shamefully neglected us. Let it not be
said that we are incapable of self protection.
And if in protecting ourselves, we strike
terror into the heart of the foe.by carrying
the war back to his own hearth stone, let
not the world blame us. We must have
protection. If there is no government in
Mexico that can control its lawless bands
of robbers, nor any with which a binding
treaty can be made, it is time the United
States Government was • establishing one
there that can fulfill these functions. Let
there be no more supineness nor indiffer-
ence until a thorough and lasting peace can
be established, if not on one basis, then up-
on another!

THANKSGIVING DAY IN TEXAS.
Editor Telegraph : I am gratified that his
excellency, Gov. Runnclls, has issued a pro-
clamation for a Thanksgiving day in Texas,
on the 24th in3t., and thankful to you for
noticing the proclamation approvingly. I
trust the people throughout the State will
make suitable preparations for the proper
observance of the approaching thanksgiving
day. It has been said that our citizens do
not desire to observe thanksgiving, and the
little attention paid by many to an observ-
ance when recommended, has been urged as
reason why our Governors should omit
the issuing of the usual proclamation. Let
us prove this year, by a due observance o-
thc day, that such proclamations arc in ac-
cordance with the feelings cf our most pat-
riotic citizens.
Will not our Houston merchants, even if
the epidemic is over and business pressing,
We have the Corpus Christi Ranchero,
Extra, of^£t Monday, the 7th, which we
re-publish:
"Messrs. O'Connor & Ware, two of our
citizens, and members of the bar, have just
arrived from the Rancho of Judge Love, and
arousing us from our quiet slumbers, inform
us that our city and the[surrounding coun-
try is in imminent danger from the outlaw
Cortinas, and hi3 bands of armed Mexicans,
peons and pelados. They bring us the as-
tonishing news that tlieentire Mexican pop-
ulation on both sides of the Rio Grande are
up in arms, advancing upon us, to murder
every white inhabitant, and to reconquer
our country as far as the Colorado River.
They have this information from the affida-
vits of Messrs. Thomas and White, two res-
pectable citizens of Cameron county, who,
with their families, had just miraculously
escaped from the clutches of one of the lieu-
tenants of Cortinas, and taken refuge at the
rancho of Judge Love.
Our mails closing and departing at 6 A.
M., we are compelled to condense the affi-
davits, but we give every important point:
"Wm. D. Thomas and Nathaniel White,
upon their oaths, subscribed to and taken
before John B. Davis, the County Clerk of
San Patricio county on the 6th inst , in the
presence of B. D. Love, Joseph O'Connor,
J.. A. E. Randolph and J. A. Ware, say that
on Monday, the 31st day of October last, at
their Rancho, about five miles this side of
Arroyo Colorado (100 miles distant from
CorpUs Christi) they were suddenly attack-
ed by a force of more than 100 men belong-
ing to the Cortinas band, apparently led by
one Pancho Trevino and Henry Cline. They
sacked and destroyed the Rancho, drove off
the stock, and carried away as prisoner,
one Juan Villereal. The order was to mur-
der the deponents and their families, but all
succeeded in making their escape through
the surrounding dense chapparal. From
information, it would appear that the whole
Mexican population on both sides of the
Rio Grande, is up in arms, with the avowed
intention to exterminate every American in
the country, and to reconquer it to the Col-
orado river.
Under the command of one Pedro Villare-
al, a company of more than 100 men had
crossed from Mexico to join Cortinas, and
these, as well as the other Mexican forces,
were carrying aloft the Mexican colors.—
Cortinas had 450 men in camp, and as many
more on scouts through the country, to in-
tercept all conmunications with the besieg-
ed in Brownsville, where were only about
50 reliable men under arms, but all of whom
were worn out with fatigue. On the day of
the attack on the rancho, from 10 A. M. to
sundown, affiants at intervals distinctly
heard the firing of cannon in the direction
of Brownsville.

C. C. C. San Patricio county.
We, (lie undersigned, citizens of Nueces
and San Patricio counties, were present at
the Rancho of Judge R. D. Love, when Mr.
W. D. Thomas, with his wife, daughter and
son, in company with Mr. Nathaniel White,
came from the Rio Grande, and have heard
their statements, which is set forth in their
respective affidavits. We are satisfied that
our frontier on the Rio Grande is in a state
of war, and that Brownsville, with its
American population, has either fallen into
the hands of Cortinas and his men, who are
supported and sustained by the Mexican
population beyond the river, or is in great
danger of being captured. The Mexican
flag is flying from a flag staff four miles
above Brownsville.
When Brownsville falls, we greatly fear
the next attack will be made upon the set-
tlements on the Nueces.
We deem it necessary that an effort be
made by the people to rescue our country-
men, and to defend our frontier from inva-
sion. We therefore call upon tbe people of
Victoria, Goliad, Refugio and Karnes coun-
ties to come to the rescue of our deserted
and unprotected frontier. The women and
children of our frontier are in danger of be-
ing massacreed. Come to our rescue, come
quickly. Bring your arms and ammuni-
tion; we have none on the Nueces, and our
frontier needs your protection.

A letter from Col. II. Clay Davis, to us of
date the -Jdinst., corroborates the statement
made in the foregoing affidavits of Thomas
and White, so far as the number of Corti-
nas' band is concerned. It further states
that Capt. Kennedy and Nickles arc dead,
and J. F. Georges is a prisoner—that the
people of Rio Grande City were in a daily
expection of another attack.
These statements from different quarters
force us to conclude that an actual state of
war exists on our frontier, which is entire-
ly without protection, and its immediate de-
fense devolves upon the citizens of the Nu-
eces and San Antionio Rivers, which are
nearest to the frontier.

WEEKLY REVIEW.
feince our last report there has no change
occured that permits us to invite the visits
of our friends from the interior. To be
sure thc epidemic is disappearing grad-
ually, but it is for' want of subjects. Ithas
also made its appearance in Hempstead.—
The Howards of Houston, have sent nurses
there, and their expenses contiiftie very
large. They have received many contribu-
tions from abroad, i% addition to those made
by our own citizens, but their funds are
still low. May we be pardoned for suggest-
ing to those who are benevolently disposed,
that help now will enable this association
to do a great deal of good?.
We have to report dull business, owing to
the impediments to communication with the
country. It can continue but a short time
more however, and the trade that has been
delayed, will, doubtless crowd upon us with
a rush -when it does come.
Our accounts from the interior are of a
general frost last week. The damage done
to the crops was nothing to speak of. In
the upper country it cut off the foliage, and

We note quite a number of communica-
tions in the papers on the subject of Sand-
ed Cotton, and an evident,design to create
an antagonism between the planter and the
merchant. This is unjust. Merchants to our
own knowledge have been obliged this year
to put aside sandy samples, in justice to
their correspondents. Buyers will not look
at them* and those planters who have put up
clean cotton should be the last to complain,
as it operates so far towards a reduction of
the stock upon the market, and tends to en-
hance the prices of their produce.

the Brazos, on the B. B., B. & C. road has
been rebuilt, and the cars are again crosa^

been made which will lessen the danger of
injury from future rises of the river. The

understand is up, and as soon as the fever
subsides along the route, the cars will com-

you in giving to the afflicted such a treasure.
