GENERAL BANKS IN TExAs-General Banks
Expedition, which recently set sail from New
Orleans, has safely landed in Texas, near the
mouth Of the Rio Grande. This river is the
boundary line between Texas and Mexico, and
has been the channel Of a large contraband trade
between the Rebels and their abettors in Mexi-
can territory.
General Magruder expected that Gen. Banks
Expedition would attempt the capture Of, Sabine
Pass or Galveston. Accordingly lie concentra-
ted his forces along the extreme Northeastern
borders OF Texas for the defense of these points
While Magruder thus prepared himself to meet
the threatened invasion, General Banks made u
successful passage across the Gulf to Brazos
Santiago, al island about two miles above the
mouth Of the Rio Grande. Upon this island, on
the I'd instant, some of the troops were disem-
embarked On the following day reconnois-
saner was made, by the gunboats accompany
ing the expedition, OF the mouth of the Rio
Giande No enemy was in sight, and the Ie-
nander OF the troops were landed, with some
difficulty because Of the surf, on the northern
bank OF the river, near its mouth, and about
twenty-five miles from Brownsville
Near Brownsville is Fort Brown, a large
earth-work. AS soon as our troops had disen,-
parked, under the protection OF gunboats. and
were preparing for forward movement UP the
river, Gen. Slaughter. who commanded Fon
brown, evacuated it. A squad of Rebel cava.-
ry also attempted to destroy Brownsville by fire
before our forces should reach it The property
holders and Unionists, resisted them, aud a
bloody street fight ensued. At last accounts
our troops were pressing forward with all haste

For The Cecil Whig.

IF men could get their hearts right, and
more humanity prevail, it might pu, down
the rebellion sooner than the force of arms
Perhaps if we had a wise and good woman
at the head of Government, il would do
more towards bringing back this country to
plan. Her influence might he excellent at
this critical time, when the lives of men are
so in danger, and in a short time calm their
passions, and bring them to proper rehec,
ton, which is so necessary to regulate us.
The above is an illustration of the lack o!
knowledge that prevails in regard to the
purpose and ambition Of the half civilized
men-or demi savages-who commenced
this rebellion to destroy republican govern
ment,
