The Galveston News publishes a letter from
Brownsville, from which We extract the following !:
Jan. 18th. Yesterday, one Rivers, belonging to
the Rangers wrote and distributed about the city
circulars, stating that the Rangers had come over
three hundred miles to fight fdr Brownsville; had
received no pay and were about to be disbanded.
Therefore, he suggested that tile Rangers sack the
city, pay themselves, shake the dust from their
feet, and leave for their homes. These circulars
produced quite an excitement, and the crazy
author was soon put under arreBt. TWAS intended
to try him this morning before a MAGISTRATE, but
the authorities generally concluded to give Mmia
chance to leave, which he did this morning, or he
would have Jared badly, HA got none Of the
Rangers to join him.
The stern-wheel river boat Mbntaria arrived last
night, and the arampus u now IN sight. The latter
will have to discharge her freight and return to
BRACES to take the freight Of the arizona, before
that vessel can leave with the mail for New Or
leans.
In a former letter stated That Garavaisl had
marched to join Degollado, and supposed lie would
march there and then march back again. The sup
position is about to be verified. Caravajal, upon
learning that large party in Matamoras had pro
nouneed against him, Immediately turned back, to
put Matam0ras on the proper fpoting. This news
Is from Mexican resident on the other side.
You will see that matters at this time are much
more squaly on the other side than this
Jan. 16th.-The Indianola has arrived at Brazos
Santiago. We expected q mail by her, but were
disappointed. The Grampus leaves this place to-
day, to take the freight of the Arizona. The All
zona will leave tomorrow OF next day with the
mail which will close to-day here; therefore,
must bring this letter to close
Hezekiah Abroad is now Hezekiah at home.
He arrived here a few days since from Mexico, and
will leave to-day for Point Isabel, to take passage
in the Arizona.
Matters here are getting no better fast. 1t the
general opinion that war Between the United States
and Mexico Is inevitable; and Nil here are looking
forward to a lively time, rapidly approaching on
this frontier.
The growth of this place has been much retarded
by the yellow fever, this COrtina war, and espe-
cially the making Matamoras free port. Goods
are now retailed cheaper in Matamoras than here,
which, of course, deprives this place of O very
large Mexican retail trade, formerly done here.
However, In the last month trade has been much
more lively here, and business u again looking up.
The two new regiments Of regulars ordered to
this frontier, and the expected increase of the
ranger force, under the late bill, will improve
things here greatly. Also, the war, sultict Is not
far Oft, between the United States and Mexico, win
add to the growth and general improvement Of
Brownsville. presume all the residents here are
perfectly willing and anxious tp have the frontier
in another locality or moved to- some distance of.
But enough for this me-probdbly far too much.
Yours, truly, etc, HoTAH.

Every American who visits Matamoras is often
