BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Feb. q, 1863
An important agreement has beeu entered
into between Gov. L9Dos, Of TamsuiiDss, and
Gen. Bee and J. A. Qnantero, on tho part Of the
Confederate States, which will in the future pre-
vent raids into Texas and therein aud on this
side of the Rio Grande. The governor Of Ia
mauIipss seems to be getting tired Of having all
the villsiny perpetrated in this neighborhood,
laid to bis Sate for it cannot be denied that the
concentrated rsscality of many countries are
here, and believe there are more scoundrels
from Southern and Northern States on lnis bor-
der than ever belonged to Mexico. All of the
renegade thieves and Abolitionists finding our
laws in Texas and other States becoming too
binding, they fee across the Rio GTaude and hold
themselves in readiness to do any kind Of mis-
chief against our country. By this agreement
made By parties above mentioned, the rigat is
given 10 pursue murdeTers, thieves, etc etc,
into Taumsulipas and bring them back to be
dealt with as they should be

From present indications, Memphis promises
to become a vast hospital the coming summer
Even now there is not little preparation fol
such a contamination. ali the large houses,
whether hotels, stores or what not, have been
seized aud the occupants forced to leave, and
Immediately thereafter the work of converting
them into hospitals commences. Accommods-
tions are to be made for ten thousand sick and
weunded but it is probable the sccommoda-
tons viii far exceed anything previously calcu-
lated upon. Some Of these buildings have been
fxed up in the most successful manner, and the
prospect is that sl our hospitals will pass as
worthy Of the name.
The trade of Memphis bas been materially
affected By recent military regulations. Hereto
fore any one from the South, who wished sup-
plies could come to the city and get them
But this ruinous policy no longer prevails
Persons can, indeed, get supplies necessary
for their comfort; but hey must prove their
loyalty By tskieg the OATH and, in ad-
diiion, swear that the supplies needed
are not to be used by parties in the interest Of
the ConfedeTaey. The result is that the whole
sale smuggling is stopped, and but little now
passes 70 the enemy beyond our lines. The
wonder Is that such restrictions Wers not sooner
placed upon articles having Southern destina-
ton II is estimated that at least twelve mil
lions dollars worth of goods have been brought

This being fact, il is more than ever necessary
