Later from the Rio Grande,
By the steamship Nautilus we have received
file of the Brownsville Flag up to the 25th. That
paper, under date Of the 18th, says Of the reyo-
luton: .a,1=. 5. M.s..=.c.
No action has as yet taken place between the
oontending forces on the opposite bank of the
river, though at last accounts they were ma
neuveripg quite near each other. Letters we're
received here last evening from the camp Of the
insurgents, stating that the commander, vi
darui, hearing of the approach of reinforcement
of government troops, had countermarched with
a portion of his command to Monterey to meet
this new enemy, while Gen and Governor de la
CARA, remains at the head Of the insurgents on
the river to watch the operations of Gen. Wolf,
who is also in the field with all his available
force The letters state there is no fear Of the
ultimate success Of the insurgents, as the people
from all quarters are hocking to their standard,
en- masse, filled with the greatest enthusiasm.
| Their numbers are said to have already swelled
| to three thousand Of the best men of the from
tier. Many Of the most wealthy and influential
men of Northern Mexico, inspired by that love
of Liberty which actuated our fathers of '76,
l are said TO have abandoned their homes, oontri-
buted their mesns and joined the ranks as pri-
waite soldiers
But will the change now about taking place
establish permanent Government, or better the
condition Of the people? We fear it will not.
| Already have the germs of discord discovered
themselves in the insurgent camp, and is like to
| lead to conflict between the States, after their
sovereignty has been restored, and if SO, then
| will come chaos and another if not final disso-
1 luton.
/ La our last number we stated that Carvajal
was second in command This has turned out
| to be incorrect. This gentleman has withdrawn
i himself from the movement, and is now on this
bank Of theriver. He took offence at what he con-
ceiyed to be the assumption by Vidauri Of what
he construed to be the rights of the people of
Tamaulipas, and hence his Withdrawal Jose
dc la Garzanow fills his place as second in COM
! mand of the insurgents. Carvajal is having
!, published the correspondence which led to this
!, result, and which he thinks will justify him in
the eyes of his friends.
1t is rumored that fifteen or twenty of our
soldiers, from one of the artillery companies at
. Ringgold Barracks, had deserted and joined the
in urgents, taking with them their side arms and
aceoutrements
II The following is seven days later:
/ The revolution still gains strength on our
frontier Gen. Vol has fallen back from Rey-
nose upon Matamoros, and q considerable num-
Der Of the rebels are now, at the time Of our
going to press, close upon his heels. We have
It from good authority that three several parties
are enoamped near Matamoros, one at Guada-
Il lupe, about three leagues distant, one at the
rancho Of Agapito Longorio, about eight leagues
t | off, and the third party at some other point
a close by. These parties are, we learn, COM
manded BY Capistran, Tijerina and Sayas
, They do not contemplate an attack upon the
city, as yet, we believe.
til a rumor, said to be well authenticated, says
that Gen. Vidauri, having regulated matters al
= Monterey, was again marching on Matamoroi
! with force Of twenty eight hundred men. i
e is also said that the forces now around thu
Il doomed city have orders not to engage the en-
u envy until the arrival of Vidauri's reinforce
d nents In the meantime Gen. Woll, and thost
= subaltern TO him, have grown wrathy to des

the command of the city is said to have deyolEet
Q upon the famous Donna Lucinda, his reputec
wife, and her first use of authority was to com
r mand the inhuman treatment of one of her owl
i. sex, which not even the tears of the ladies o
~ Matamoros could prevent. The disgraceful pro
:" ceeding is fully described in Spanish in anothe
: place.
Q Il is impossible to say when Matamoros vii
fall, but it's fate is inevitable, and then terrbl
will be the reckoning. We have much to SO.
j., on This SUBJECT, put our nmlteu space Will no
permit.
The lady alluded to above as having bee
. inhumanly treated was named Hernandez. Sh
had crossed the river to Matamoros, and ha
: been persuaded by her brother to deliver
= letter to an official of that city, named Barba
: rina, asking an interview. This, and the fac
! !. that she had not a proper passport, caused he
y to be arrested and thrown into prison. On tn
" following day she was taken into the publ
square, and her hair was cut off, lock afte
y lock, by the hands of different malefactors
: the prison. Her family witnessed this shamef1
punishment in the deepest distress, while 81
y implored the authorities to put her to deaf
- rather than submit her to such disgrace. st
was afterwards sent to Vera Cruz.
