The Brownsville correspondent Of the Gal.
weston News, In his lettsr Of Juno II, writos
Whilst at Point Isabel had the pleasure Of
meeting Gen. Ignacio Uomonfort, the ex-
Presid emit of the Mexican Republic, and his
two beau tiful and accomplished daughters,
who. after travelling with him for two or
three years through Europe, have decided 70
take M their residence In this city. Gen.
Oomonfort Is a gentleman OF English ex-
traction. although Mexican an, born, ana m me ne
south. His party in Mexico seem to be gain
ine strength every day, and ~ he believes
that that unfortunate Repuoiic cannot %
ruled but by central 6overnmen., ana ina.
the present power will not be permanent
one, he has, in my opinion. determined TO
. ke his residence among us, perhaps
. IN the object Of waiting for the turning OF
lie tide" TO take hand in the affairs OF his
l yesterday had the pleasure OF visiting
Fort Brown in company with Capt. Moore,
of the Confederate States Army. The fort1s,
at present, impregnable, and the work done
under Dol. Ford's command during the six
weeks he has been engaged In 1t Is really
astonishing. Capt. Moore, who Is q graduate
Of West Point, and an excellent omcer, was
agreeabiy surprised with the improvements
made by Col. Ford, and the fine progress OF
his troops in drill and discipline.
Col. Ford is very popular in this region,
and has many friends on the Mexican side OF
the Rio GraDde. / understand that his per-
sonal influence with the authorities and peo-
pie of Matamoras has had a good deal to do
in making friend and ally of the neighbor-
ing State of Tamauiipas. The election held
recently in that State has been in favor OF
Senior Serna, who is said to be good friend
of the South and an admirer of her ina'itu-
tons.
Col. Ford received, the day before yester-
day, a communication from 4 Mexican official,
informing him that there had been distur-
Dances on the river above this. He immediat
ly ordered Capt. LittietOn to take detach-
ment of men and make reconnaissance in the
vicinity of Edinburgh and the settlements
above it. 1t is believed here that the party
mentioned is commanded by Theodors 1amo-
ra, the second in command to COrtina. He
was, about twelve days since, at the Mesa
Rancho, forty five or fifty miles above Mata.
moras, and on the main road to Camargo, and
had about forty men.
The marauder, Cortina, is said to have one
hundred thousand dollars furnished him by
an agent of Lincoln. The political chief of
Matamoras has received an official communi-
cation from Reynosa confirming the above,
and stating that Cortina was on the Rio
tirande, above Edinburgh, endeavoring TO en-
list men, buy horses, saddles, &c. All concur
ia saying that Cortina is on this side OF the
Rio Grande.
Fortunately, Col. Ford is acting in concert
with Gen. Guadalur Garcia, Of the State OF
Tamaulipas, and as their troops are scattered
from Fort Mcintosh down to this point, it
will not be improbable if we will, before long,
hear of the capture Of the Mexican bandit.

CAPTURING THEIR own BoArs.--The excessive
vigilance of the Evansville, Indiana, troops
induced them to arrest and detain one of their
vessels few days since. This was the "W.
H. b." a formidable craft, with three PAS, and
plenty of shot and shell. She was released on
the strength Of a message from Gen. McClel-
Ian. who pronounced her all right.

Arrired.-Lieut. James Vaughan, Of Capt.
Boggs' Company, First Regiment Virginia
Volunteers, arrived in Richmond on Saturday,
from Manassas Junction, in charge of two
prisoners Of war-one private in the regular

one of Billy Wilson's "Pet Lambs Zouave

Attempted Skieids.-A servant girl named
Finances, hired to Capt. George II. Tompkins,
attempted yesterday evening to commit sui
eide ~ shooting herself through the body with
pistol bullet. She was induced TO commit
the deed because her brother had chastised her
for Some immoral conduct, which he had dis
covered she had committed. Drs. Roddey and
Wexford were called in 10 attend her, and
found, on examination, that the ball had PASS
cd through the abdomen and lodged in the
back so a. to DO perceptible to the touch. She
will no doubt die

Teros Rangers.-In the list of officers of the
Texas Rangers, published ON the first page of
this paper, the names of Surgeons Williams
and Harsstein were accidentally omitted
These gentlemen are said to be eminent in
their profession. A Lieutenant of the corps
visited us yesterday. He is a man of power
full stature, fearless rider, and apparently
able to cope with platoon Of the enemy. His
bowie-knife would strike terror to the soul of
every Lincolnite. The Rangers are now en-
camped at Towards Grove, but will probably
leave soon for the Northwest. They ask no
quarter, and will give none.

REPUBLICAx BULLrIsM-The New York

REPUBLICAN, BULLYIsM.-The New York
Journal OF Commerce, speaking OF the men in
the North who are urging the war. says
1t is great mis- take TO suppose that blood
have plunged US into this war, who have hal.
lood on the people, are men that have wisely
stayed AT home. And part Of the plan to
cover up their own want Of courage, is TO
keep up the cry OF war. The rebels in the
South who planned the dissolu ton Of The
Union, who advocated it in congress ard in
newspapers and on the stump, are the men
who have taken the field, while the Northern
editors aud Oongressmen and S~na tors who
opposed com promise, who let as drift into this
war nay, who dragged Us into 1t, are ~
homo, making contracts TO supply army
stores, and shouting "traitor'' at every man
who ventures TO remind them OF the evil they
have brought ON the country, or suggest q
remedy for II.

IMPORTANT MOVEMENT IN CALIFORNIA AND
ARIzoSA.-1ntell igence has Just been received
here from California, stating that a most for
midahie movement is on foot, on the part of
the Secessionists of that State, to proc lain
the Southern part of it out of the Union, and
form new State, for admission into the
Southern Confederacy. 1t appears that eff
forts have been made for several years back
to divide the State, and make slave State
out of the Southern section, embodying that
part below thirty six degrees thirty min utes.
under the secret Circular sent from this city
dictated 10y Secession conspirators. Although
the scheme was exposed and failed, yet about
year ago the Legislature actually passed an
act authorizing the Southern counties to form
q separate Government, IL the people should
so vote. This proposition was submitted and
carried, and within the last two months they
have organized aud raised an independent
flag, and have declared their intsn ton TO go
with the South.
The object of this move was clearly to be
seen. It was necessary that the Confederate
States should have an outlet on the Pacific
coast, and they, OF course, strike for the fine
harbor at San Diego. Nor does this scheme
stop here. They expect and have the assur-
ance OF the CO operation of the Seces sionists
in Arizona and New Mexico. They have also
the cooperation of Judge Terry, OF Nevada
Territory, who has organized force there TO
resist the authority CT Governor I'VE and to
prevent the establishment Of the United
States Courts there Washington CorrssDon.

The TELEGRAPH, falsifying as it has usually
done since it has been arbitratively controlled
by the abolition authorities in the North, ad
vised that Mr.. Russell, the celebrated London
letter writer, had made speech on his arri-
val at Cairo, in which he contra ted the
Northern forces with those he had seen in
the South, in a manner very complimen tary
to the former. This is oil CANNON, as the
following from the abolition correspondent Of
.iIe st. Louis Democrat, writing from Cairo
shows:
W. H. Russell, the orrespondent of the
London Times, arrived here las t evening from
the South. He is very distant and reserved in
regard to making any statements OF the force
or movement is of the Southern rebels.

GOODNESS of attention to him, and, in fact,
very little courtesy. He is accused Of having
cottOned too much to the Southern rebellion,
and has lost his influence and the respect
which attached to him before he made his
Southern tour.

CoxDIT1oS OF MIssorRI-It is pretty GER
tain that Il. McCulloch is making his way to
Missouri to maintain the State-Rights party
of that State. A letter from St. Louis, to
Memphis, Tennessee, house, dated the 2lst
June, gives the following gloomy view of
the state Of affairs. McCulloch will not ar
rive too soon. We doubt not Tennessee will
come up to the rescue in good time. Ken
lucky, too will be on hand:
Things are hard here at present, the Giles
slams" having full sway. Why don't yenr
people send us some troops to help us to clean
them outl We have the disposition but not
the arms to do it. Large numbers Of dead
Dutch are arriving here daily from South
Western Missouri, although the fact is denied.
1t is lhported that Ben. McCulloch has been
cutting GratZ Browns regiment to pieces
somewhere on the South. West branch Of the
Pacific railroad.
The State troops have had fight with the
Hessians at Boonvilie-the Missourians to
the number Of 800 making an attack on
whole regiment OF Dutch, and if they had not
ensordered to retire 1 believe would have
killed every one of them. l have not had
pop at them yet, but expect to soon.

TUE VOLUNTEER RErIEF FuSD.-Thc Board
OF Super sOrs have been summoned to hold a
special meeting today to take some actioE IN
relation to the Volunteer Relief Fund. At the
last meeting the sum Of $50, 900 wss voted and
tho committee directed to borrow the amount
from the bank. IL l. stated that the banks re-
iufc TO loan the money until some liercnt ar
RAJ gcmcnts are perfected. Hence the call foi
tie special meeting.
CoMMoN CoUNCIL At a meeting last even
irg, little Cf interest trhnspired. The expense
Of opening York street has proved 50 much
greater than anticipated, and falls so heavily on
the city, that the prayer of some of the proper
t,-holders along the line, requesting its dis-
continuance at present, was granted.
