TEXAS FROM TIER.
Important News from Browns,il1


Matters are in sad way in Brownsville, as will
fully appear from the appended appeal to the cti-
zens of New Orleans and letter from highly re-
spectacle gentleman in Brownsville. The letter
was written to merchant in this city, by whom it
was placed at our disposal. We can assure our

depended upon stating nothing but the simple
truth. We trust response will be made by New
Orleans to the call her for aid and to be at all
of service it must be prompt:
