FORT BROWN
ARMY AND NAVY NEWS,

On the outside of to-day's paper, we present
readers with engraving that accurately
represents Fort Brown, on the Rio Grande. Our
readers will recollect, that it was this Fort that
sustained an incessant bombardment from the
Mexicans for one hundred and sixty hours.
1t is our intention TO continue to illustrate all
the events of the war in the same manner as here
tofore, and take the liberty of requesting our
friends and correspondents in the army and navy.
10 give us accurate accounts Of every thing that
shall take place during the war and, If possible,
send us drawing of the forts, &C., that may be
built by the Americans, or those that may be cap
tured by them.
They will, in this way confer a particular favor
on US, and crafty the public.
