half way between Corpus and Brownsville, and is
awaiting reinforcements. The U. s, Cutter,
Henry Dodge. Capt. Hardy, will start from here
tomorrow evening, with all the men he can get)
for Brazos Santiago. and any further reinforce

their arms and saddles, as they can get horses at
that place so as to join Capt. Tobin. So
The COrtinas party are robbing our whole
frontier, killing every whiteman they can get
their hands on, and it is truly AN awful state of
affairs.

Capt. TObin's command, which reports that
Cortinas is in entire possession of the country
from Brownsville to Roma, and. that his force
numbered at least fifteen hundred men,. Tobin
is encamped midway, between Corpus. and
Brownsville, and can do nothing until reinforced.
Come with your men, and bring all the extra
arms you can. We have none at Corpus (haying

know how, and are willing to use them. We
,annot get arms here, but have purchased plenty
IF powder.
Hoping to hear of you with good strong COM
