BEWARE OF TIE LAsso.-Ihe Mata-
moras Flag of,hc 3rd inst. says" Two
volunteers, belonging to the Tennessee
regiment, we believe, who had obtained
permission to visit this city, were On
their way up from Burila, and when
within five miles Of the city were over
taken by a couple Of Mcxicans on horse
back, who, under the prctcncc of asking
them some questions, made a survey of
their persons to sec if they carried any
pistols, pcrcclving none, they rode a
short distance in advance, arranged
their i1SoS, wheeled short round and
came rushing on the two un$usprcting
volunteers, designing to rope them round
the neck, and stranglc as they dragged
them into the chaparrcl close by. The
neck of both were caught by the ropes,
but before the moose could be drawn they
cxtricatcd their heads and made for the
chaparrcl, worse frightened than was
ever mnStnng when caught III similar
manner. The Mcxicans did not make
IL second attempt but made their way off
us fast rs possible. The volunteers re-
NAMED hid during the night, and came
! INTO the city next morning. When they
meet Il Mexican on the road again, say
they, he will be requested to keep his
distance or abide the consequences A
very prudent resolve. The greater the
distance between an American and
Mexican the more safety"
