"go it Goltin.n He deserves success for the bold
ness of his escape.
1t is currently reported in town that two Mexi-
cans, notorious as horse thieves, have been found
missing within the last week. and that one of them
has since been found suspended by the neck to
large mesquite tree. From certain Indications
among the people here, believe there is q strong
probability that other sundry individuals II the
same nationality stand in jeopardy of the same ex-
altation for have heard repeated threats against
the traitors now confined in the county Jail as par
tcipants in the Cortina treason. 1t is understood
that the present indictment Is defective, and that
even If it was not direct evidence can be had to
prove any fact necessary in favor Of the prisoners
therefore, the people are disposed to rise in their
might and, doing without juries or judges, punish
| these worst of criminals in a sure and summary
| way. am no advocate of lynch law, and would
| always oppose it as baneful evil, but if every
general rule has exception, think the present
| is case when should make it convenient to be
away when the Sheriff. or other officers, called for
| assistance to suppress unlawful violence.
| understand that two companies of the United
States troops stationed at this point are under
| marching orders for destination at present un-
known. This fact, taken in connection with the
great concentration Of troops the frontier leads
/ many sanguine people hereabouts to believe that
| the Government intends to march our forces into
Mexico on the first favorable occasion. In fact, it
| is supposed that Old Buck wants to kick up row
to give his candidate for the Presidency an impulse
in the pending Presidential struggle, and as ii is
| altogether probable that a war with Mexico would
| create as much enthusiasm now as it did when
Polk was elected, the game appears natural and
worthy. Slidell, although sly as fox and greatly
dependent money, is still aware that little
honesty is good thing, whoever may be the
author and propagator of it,
The river is rising at this point, and the talk is
| that the boats are to commence running up to

| The market is oyerstocked with melons of all
classes the best of which sell for twenty-five cents.
We have green corn in all stages, from the grain
already hardened to that just terminating. The
stalks in every condition. from the tender short
to the well matured stalks from which fodder is
| gathered. Tomatoes potatoes, turnps, carrots,
| beets, onions, beans and in fact vegetables too
| numerous to mention, are plenty and cheap; and
we are living in clover, as am in hopes you are.
| understand that arrangements have been en-
tered into for the purpose of putting two more
boats on this rver--one to be employed in the
transportation between this city and the Brazos,
and the other to be of lighter draft, and designed
1 for the navigation above Brownsville. This is a
consummaton devouby to be wished.
The Mexican Consul at this place, Senor Treviho,
is at present on leave of absence, and will prob
ably visit your city in the Arizona, with Captain
Smith, who seems to be universal favorite in this
trade and among all classes of citizens.

can leaders to keep the present difficulties mp as
leng possible, as the greater number of the pa
triots in Office on both sides would have to &c

/ BLAIR VS.. BARRErr.-The House of Representa-
tives, we see, has unseated Mr.. Barrett, the Demo
cratic Representative from the city of st. Louis ii
Congress, and put in the contestant F. P. Blair, Jr
Blair was in the last Congress, but was beaten BY
Barrett by several hundred majority. He contested
the election on the ground OF fraud, and is
full in getting the seat. We know nothing of the
merits of the question-but, the fact that Blair is {
Freesoiler, we suspect, will go long ways in ex
i planning the action of the House of Representa-
tives in the premises.
