The Brownsville correspondent Of the Gal
weston Ntws, in bis letter OF June IL, writes 4:
While at Point Isabel I had the pleasure of
mssting Gen. ~Ignacio Comonfort, the ex-
president Of the Mexican republic, and bis two
beautiful and accomplished daughters, who,
after travelling with hin for two or three years
through Europe, have decided to take up their
residence in this city. Gen. COmonfort is a
gentleman Of English extraction, although a
Mexican born, and he warmly sympathisps
with the South. His party in Mexico seem to
be gaining strength every day, and as he be-
lieves that that unfortunate republic cannot be
ruled but by a central government, and that
the present power will not De A permanent
one, be has, in my opinion, determined to make
bis residence among Us, perhaps with the OBJ
iect Of waiting for the "%turning Of the tide,1
to take a hand in the affairs Of his unfortunate
country.
1 Yesterday had the pleasure ofs.visiting
fort Brown in company with Capt. Moore, Of
the Confederate States army. The fort is, at
present, impregnable, and the work done I'M
der Col. Ford's command during the six weeks
be has been engaged in it, is really astonishing.
Capt Moore, whO is a graduate Of West Point,
and an excellent officer, was sgrseabIY sur
prissd with the Improvements made by Col.
Ford, and the fine progress of his troops in
drill and discipline.

has many friends on the Mexican side Of the
RIO Grande. Understand that bis personal
influence With the authorities and people Of
Matamoras has mad a good deal to do in
makirE 2 friend and ally Of the neighb0Ting
State Of Tamaulipas. The election held re-
Gently in that State has been in favor Of Senor
Serna, who is said 10 be a good friend OF the
South and an admirer Of her institutions.
Col. Ford received, the dav before Yesterday,
a communication from 9 Mexican official, in
forming him thai there had teen disturbances
on the river above this. He Immediately or
tsTed Capt. LittletOn TO take 4 detachment %
men and make reconnaissance in the vicinity
OF Edinburgh and the settlements above It.. It
is believed here that the party mentioned is
commanded by Theodoris TamOra, the second
in command to CortiHa. He was. about
twelve days since, at the Nosa Rancho. forty
I'VE or fifty miles above Matamoras, and on
the main road to Camargo, and had about
forty men.
The uarauder, Cortinas, is said to have one
hundred thousand dollars furnished him by an
agent OF Lincoln. The political chief Of Mat
amoras has received an official communication
from Reynosa, confirming The above, and stat
irg that C0rtinas was on the Rio GraBde,
above Edinburgh, eDdeaVoring TO enlist men,
buy horses, saddles, etc. All concur in saving
that Cortinas is on this side Of the Rio Grande.
Fortunately, Col. Ford il acting in concert
with Gen. Guadalupe Garcia, Of the S tate Of
Tamaul pas, and as their troops are scattered
from Fort Mcintosh down 10 this point, It will!
not be improbable if We will, before long, hear
Of the capture of the Mexican bandit.

1t will doubtless surprise many persons to
be told that the seven Gulf, or Cotton
States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, produced
As, 5,1S7 more beef cattle than the six New
England States, New York Pennsylvania,
Ohio, New jersey, Indiana, Michigan and
Wisconsin, altogether, but such is the fact,
for the census O. 1850 tells US that these
seven Cotton States produced but 1857,
4S9 beef cattle, while the thirteen Northern
States named produced but 3,3l2.327.
A single glance at the live stock columns
of the seventh census will prove to the in
quirer that the slaveholding States produced
more beef cattle than the non-slaveholding
by 1,7S2,5S7. That while the North pro.
duced 3,54l, ,12l COWS, the South produced
3,929,Sl0 That the Northern States pro.
duced S69, 1897 work oxen, against S2O,S4
produced by the Southern States. That
while the North produced 2,3l0,961 horses
and mules, the South produced 259, 1858
more, for the Southern production was q

Arrest Of q Traitor.

A correspondent in Camden informs US
that music teacher, named Devine, who
has been in that town six years, has been
detected in traitorous correspondence. His
letters have been examined and furnish a.
bundant evidence of his guilt, such as plans
for sacking the town, stating hat the town
was in a dcienceless condition, and that i,
was in STATE of starvation.
The fact was discovered by the postmas-
ter, whose suspicious were aroused by the
extent of the northern correspondence Of
the accused, when an examination by proper
authorities clearly proved his guilt. 1t is
stated that Judge Withers pronounced it q
clear case of treason.
1t behooves all, at the present juucture,
to be vigilapt.-Guardian.

Good as his Word

The Petersburg Express of the 2sth ult
says:
The killing of Ellsworth by James W
Jackson, Esq, of Alexandria, has eliciteG
the universal approval of every patriot ii
the South. It seems that the Confederate
flag, which had been kept flying from the
top of the Marshall House for some time
past, had attracted the attention of the
Washington officials, where it could be very
distinctly seen with the aid ofan eye.glass
Not long since, visitor at the White
House called Old Abe's attention to the
Secession flag, and Lincoln remarked that
it would not fly there much longer. These
facts were communicated to Mr.. jackson,
and some of his friends advised him to take
it down but he resolutely persisted in keep
ing it flying. A gentleman now in Pc
tersburg, dined with Mr.. Jackson at the
Marshall House last Tuesday, this day ono
week ago, and, among other topics of dis
cussion, introduced at the dinner table was
the secession flag. MIR. Jackson, remarked
during the conversation, that he did uo1
desire the blood of any human being on
his hands, but he had determined to kill
the man that dared to removed that flag
He had heard the objection to it in Wash
ington, but, said he, the individual that
attempts to remove it, will do so at his per
il. Whether it be Winfield Scott, Abra
ham Lincoln or Simon Cameron, will kill
him the moment he lays his violent hands
upon it.
He kepthis word, aud it is matter Of
graduation with the South that the infa'
NOUS Ellsworth was the man who forfeited
bis life in attempting to Interfere with the
private property of a gentleman.

The following, from the New York Her.
aid, shows delightful state of harmony id
the New York editorial camp:
MAssA GREELEY IN A RAGE.-The Hon
NIassa Greeley, though small beer phi
lauthropist, is INDUSTRIOUS big liar when
the truth is against him. We say big liar
because the qualification of this charge in
dainty phraSeology with Greeley would be
like "casting pearls before swine" In hold
ing up before the world the identity of his
views for weeks aud months on the ques
tion of secession, and the views of Rhet,
and Ysncey We have pinned our abolition
contemporary to the wall. He wriggle;
and twists like an ugly worm on bodkin
but there arc philosophers who, even in this
position, wua!d stick to the truth. NJ s,
with Philosopher Greeley He flies .utc
rage, against the Herald, the Herald ed
tor and the Herald office, he hangs a string
OF salsehoods together like string of onioas
upon wisp OF straw. Having changed
from legal advocate of secession into {
military defender Of the Union, Masss
Greeley is hot upon the trail for traitors. -
He would like to find one, aud gloat ovel
him, in the midst Of riotous wo6, like tn:
Chevalier Webb. But when justice get:
her dues-when the chief Offenders in the
work of bringing upon the country this civi
war shall be puDished-such abolition ano
disunion agitators of the last twenty years
as Greeley, Garrison, aud Giddings will be
among the list of traitors hung up like her
rings to dry in the sun. Greeley, particu
larly, has been great sinner, and witha
a very dirty one. Let him be washed, o.
let him retire.

FIENDIsH OUTRAGE.-The Baltimore
South, in its news from Fortress Monroe,
has the following account of the perpetra-
tion of a 6endish outrage by Lincoln's
wretches. Such outrages will nerve the
arm and steel the heart of the Southern
men who are on their way to meet the dev-

"Great excitement has been produced at
Old Point by an outrage perpetrated by
government soldiers on Saturday last. 1t
appears that party Of theln had gone to a
geutleman's house near by, and assaulted a
young lady some sixteen years of age, with
the design to outrage her person. Her
