BY strict attention to his men, and persevering
endeavors to enforce discipline among all his

invested, while the name of Carvajal will be used

The same paper has the following:
- There is in circulation such variety of rumors
and reports in regard to this gentleman and his fol
lowers, that We are left in doubt that are his
designs for the future, what his present strength

weak and distracted condition, with no prospects
Tor any further disturbance of the elements while
others confidently represent him as occupying
very advantageous position, and industrously en-
gagged IN recruiting his forces preparatory to ano

position very brief time will develop, for one

marked the steps of the besiegers on their former
visit. Should Carvajal again attempt the capture
OF Matamoros, he will find much less sympathy on
this side OF the river and much more hostile and
determined spirit to oppose every step he NAV take
among every class of the Inhabitants of that devoted
city. We do not believe that Col. Carvajal ia in a

The Rio Bravo learns that orders have been re-
