"Ton can state to your readers that the mis

successful. As soon as I can get the details in

the
First Openlnr of a C S. Coart.
The Confederate States Court was opened l
in Ohlcston on the X'4tn nit Judge wa-
grath presiding. The court was opened
earlier than had been expected in conse-
quence of pressing business and only in
the excrciso of Admiralty jurisdiction for
th adjudication of Cases relating to prise
and capture. The Judge stated that prize
property does not go into the hands of the
Marshal until the libel is filed as before
the case is not property in the court. In
the first instance the property is in charge
of the commissioners and is by them trans
ferred to the Marshal after the libel is filed.
In his opening remarks Jndge Magrath
Tindicftted bj the highest authorities and
most forcible arguments the laws Tt the
Confederate States authorizing the issue of
Letters of Marque. He showed that the
charge against the use of armed private ves-
sels of its being inconsistent with the lib-
eral spirit-of-thc age would apply equally
to the use of public armed vessels. In cith-
er case there is a possibility that the pro-
perty of neutrals may be unlawfully seized.
But in both cases the courts of &e nation to
whom the capturing vessel belongs are open
for the redress of the wrong that may have
been done to the neutral; and the law of the
Confederate States ks well as the law of na
tions provides amply for the punishment of
those who abuse the authority given them
by their commission and for the indemnity
to those who msv suffer from such abuse.
The fact that neutral powers or their sub
jects may forfeit the right of neutrality by
secretly giving aid loone of the belligerents
whereby their Tessels may be lawfully
captured shows that the neutral character
of the prize is not of itself conclusive evi-
dence of the unlawfullness of the capture.
The manifest object of Lincoln in assum-
ing to condemn privateering a right claim-
ed by the United States in every period of
its past history and clearly recognized by
the laws of nation was of course to de-
prive the Confederate States oflhe only pos-
sible power they could exercise against him
on the ocean. Thuj would be of course a
very convenient way of carrying out his
threats of 6ubjuc;ating the seceded States.
Tho only remaining measure necessary to
our complete aubjugatiop would be to issue
another proclamation depriving the C. States
of all their volunteer forces on land as well
as those- on water and so he would have
both land and water all to himself with-
out ah" enemy to dispute his assumed power.
Judge Magrath says the right of the Confed-
erate States " to employ private armed ves-
sels is as clearly and positively established
by the law of nations as its right upon land
to arm its volunteer citizens in defence of
their homes and in support of their rights."
The only reason therefore why.Lincolu did
not attempt to deprive cs of the latter arm
of self defence as well as the former was
because he found it necessary to have the
aid of land volunteers himself. Perhaps
there cannot be found among the numerous
evidences of infatuation and blindness with
which Lincoln's government has precipita-
ted itself into this war an instance of such
mental" imbecility and meanness combined
as in this attempt to change the law & .na-
tions for its own accomodation. .But not
satisfied with this ridiculous attempt to de
prive us of a universally recognized right of
all belligerents this .Black Kcpublican Ru-
ler next proceeds to proclaim that all who
arc caught exercising that right will be
dealt with as plraia thus showing that he
is as ignorant or as regardless of the laws
of civilized war as the negro kings of Af-
rica. "If" says JudgeM. "in themadness
of that rage which having blinded thegov
ernmentofthe United States to the wicked-
ness of its course it shall be led on to break
down the barriers with which civilization
has gufded itself and incorporated into the
law of nations; it will have thrown away its
claim to be within the pale which that law
provides; and inaugurate a condition of hos-
tilities only known where' barbarous war--fare
is unrelieved by the influence of mor
ality or religion."

We have recently been much annoyed
with the oft-repeated assurances of subscri-
bers that they will have to discontinue Tmr
paper unless we -can obviate the delay
which now oftep icrs it quitejtdcclesB.

annoying. We arc constantly told that the
Houston Telegraph gives substantially the
same news several days before our paper
can reach them. This is a. matter of such
importance to us and the public that we
feel it our duty to state some facts that may
serve to explain the cause of these com-
plaints." It is probably known to the public or
should be that the contractsfor carrying the
mails are now given to the Railroad Com-
panies. The Galveston and the Harrisburg
railroads have made their time tables cor-
respond jso as to secure a connection: ; but
there is no such correspondence in the time
tables of the Galveston and Central rail
roads ; but on the contrary there is -said to
be a deliberate purpote to prevent any such
connection in.order thereby to compel not
only the mails but passengers and freight
to lay over in Houston. We have several
times called public attention to this gross
abuse of mail contracts from which the peo-
ple are made to suffer. So much to promote
private speculations or to gratify aieeling
of rivalry. Here are the facts : The mail
leaves this city at 7:45 a. x. except Thurs-
days when it leaves at 11 . jt. The cars
leave Heuston on the Central road at 8 a. Jr.
Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays ; that
is three times a week only or within fif-
teen minutes of the time the cars leave1 Gal-
veston ; so that by the time our mail and
passengers reach Houston theHouston mail
must be near Hempstead and therefore the
Galveston and Hew Orleans mail from this
city must remain in Houston about two
days for the next train. We would respect-
folly ask: what right has any Company
having a mail contract to defeat the very
ends the Govcrnmenthad in view in giving
out this contract in order thereby to ad
vance private or rival interests ? Wc are
told that the time of .leaving of the Galves.
ton cars has been often changed so as to en-
able the mail from this city to reach Hous-
ton in time to secure the connection at that
city and enable the mail to go forward ; but
that as soon as this has been done another
change is made in the time of the Central
road so as again to break the connection
However this may be certain it is tli&t all

Messes. EditoeS ! 1 arrived here the day
before yesterday having been about forty-eight
hours at aea from your city to Braioa Santiago
in the schooner Sam Houston (" Tlune truly )
a very fine vessel that it it docs not bear an
appropriate name has at least an excellent
Captain in your townsman John Davidson.
The schooner is a fast saihng one and although
we had most of the time winds ahead we suc-
ceeded in getting to the "promised land"
much sooner than we expected.
BrosOs Santiago as you ire well aware is
not by any means an " enchanted isle." We
spent the night there and in all capdor I must
say that the fare was bid and the accom-
modations worse. With the exception of a
few houses and stores built during the last
war with Mexico the town has no improve
ment.
Point Isabel is undoubtedly a much better
place. Whilst there I had the pleasure of
meeting Gen. Ignrcio Comonfort the Ex-President
ot the Mexican Republic and hts twp
beautiful and accomplished daughters who
after traveling with him for two or three years
through Europe have decided to take up their
residence in tins city.
Gen. Comonfort is a gentleman of English
extraction although a Mexican born and he
warmly sympathises with the cause of the
Smith. Ilia nartv in Mexico seem to be. sain
ing strength every day arid as he believes that
mat uuiununaie jiepuuuu uuuuuut uc i uicu uu
by a Central Government and that the present
power will not be a permanent one he has in
mv onimon. determined to make his residence
.among us perhaps with the" object of waiting
Jor the " turning of the tide" to take a h? nd
in the ailairs of bis unfortunate country.
I yesterday had the-pleasure ofvisittng Fort
Brown in company with Capt. loore of the
Confederate Slates army. The Fort is at pres-
ent impregnable and the work done under
Col. Ford's command during the six weeks he
.hM Wn eunaoed in it. is reallv ostonishmg.
Capt. Moore who is a graduate of West Point
and an excellent officer was agreeably sur-
prised with the improvements made by CoL
Ford and the fine progress of his troops in
drill and discipline.
Co). Ford is very popular in this region and
has many friends on the Mexican side of the
Kio Grande. I understand that his personal
influence with the authorities and people of
ilatamoros has had a'good deal to do in mak-
ing a Inend and ally ol the neighboring fcttate
of Tamaulipas. tTue election held recently in
that State; has been in favor of Senor Serna
who is said to be a good friend of the South
and an admirer of her institutions.
CoL Ford received the day before yesterday
a mmmnnieation from a Mexican official in
forming him that there had been disturbance
on the river above this lie immediately or-
dered Capt. Littleton to take a detachment of
men and make reconnoi3anco in the vicinity of
Edinburgh and the settlements above it. it is
believedTiere that tho party mentioned is com-
manded by Theodons Tamora the second in
command to Cortina. He was about twelve
days Bince at the Mesa RanrJrO'some forty-
five or fiftrmilcs above 'Mfitamoros and ou the
main road to Camargo and had about forty
men.
The marauder Cortina is said to have one
hundred thousand dollars furnished him by an
gent of the " Baboon of Illinois" commonly
called Mr. Lincoln. The political chief of Ma-
tamorosihas received an official communica-
tion from Rcvnoso confirming the above and
stating that Cortina was on the bank of this Rio
Grande above Edinburgh endeavoring to en-
list men bny horses saddles etc Alfconcar
in saying that Cortina is on this side of the Rio
Grande.
Fortunately Col. Ford is acting in concert
with Gen. Guadalupe Garcia of the State oi
Tamaulipas and as their troops are scattered
from Fort Mcintosh down to this point it will
not be improbable if we will before long hear
of the capture of the llencan bandit.
Capt. licnavides has men at Laredo and at
Carnzo and has scouts passing intermediate
points almost daily. Capt. JUonneUon hasa
camp near Roma; be makes reconnoisances as
high np as Carnzo and on Friday last a detach-
ment of his cbmmand went to Xas Cueras
Ranch eighteen miles below Rio Grande City.
Capt. Nolan is encamped on the Arroyo Colora-
do foity miles above tins post. Hclia3 a detach-
ment between Edinburgh and Rio Grande City
looking out for Cortina. Another detachment
is guarding the train sent to Corpus Cbristi
for supplies. Capt Littleton is encamped at
the Carrcentos twenty-three miles above
Brownsville. He is watching the Bolsa and
points between his camp and Brownsville. He
has a detachment near the moulh of the Rio
Grande. On Friday evening learning that
Cortina was on this side he left with twenty-
three men in pursuit of him. He will co oper-
ate with the other detachments. The infantry
companies ai estationed as heretofore indicated.

anything of importance may occur. At pres-
