On Friday evening last the quiet Of our town was
disturbed by the jarring tones of General Alvalos'
big guns in Matamoras, interspersed with a smart

large numbersof our citizens to the levee all agog
to snuff the breeze of war, which was evidently
lowering over sister city and who soon learned
the true cause Of the firing-Matamoras had pro-
nounced. We are as yet, wholly unable to say what
were the real causes which led to this result-so
many conflicting reasons afoat that it would be
hard indeed to say which was the right one.

were to celebrate the funeral obseques Of Rufno
