From tie RIO Grunde.-The San
Antonio Herald, of Sd lust, says -
A gentleman direct from Brownsville
who is well and favorably known
here, brings the intelligence that two
Confederate steamers appeared of
the mouth of the Rio Grande little
before he left, which no doubt gave
rise to the report in circulation here,
that the Yankees were being rein
forced. But the steamers, instead OF
landing Yankee soldiers, pitched into
the blockaders, sinking one boat and
disabling another.
In the meantime our forces in the
vicinity of Brownsville had been in.
formed by Gen. Mcjia, who manifests
anything but fellow feeling for the
enemy, of what was going on. They
hurried down and attacked the enc,
my on the mainland; driving them
to the Island, and giving them such
scare that they put to sea the next
day. BY next mail We hope to lear,
the particulars.

The Chicago Tribune of the 11th,
commenting on an article in the
Richmond Seminal ad vocating arm
ing Of negroes says the rebels are
to adopt emancipation without refer
ence to slavery, and says tauntingly
that the chivalry is to ou,bid the abo-
litionists in their brides to the negro
Are to give them lands and homes,
and freedom, and closes by saying,
what think northern coperheads OF
their ancient democratic allies in
overthrowing slavery and establish
ing negro equality. Is it worth while
for them to still cling to slavery and
treason, after their allies have aban-
doned slavery and outbid the aboli
tionists in their zeal for the negro.

lFrom the Richmond Enquirer. Nov 4th
\ citizen of Virginia, a resident
in the country, thus protests against
the arming Of negroes
GENTLEMEN In the Enquirer
of the 18th ult., you advance and
recommend the proposition TO con
script tue slaves of the South, for
the purpose of making soldiers of
them, and claim the honor and merit
(Which / suspect none will dispute
with YOU of being the first to ad-
vance it.
Can it be possible that you are
serious and in earnest, in proposing
such step to be taken by our gov
eminent Or Were you merely dis
cussing the matter, as something
that might be done-as an element of
power that might be used-meaning
thereby to intimidate or threaten
our enemy with this weapon of
offense, which they may drive us to
use.
Can it be possible that Southern
man, editor of Southern journal,
recognizing the right of property in
slaves, admitting their inferiority in
the scale of being, and also their
social inferiority, would recommend
the passage of law, which at one
bloa0 levels all distinctions deprives
the master of right to his property,
and elevates the negro to an equality
with the white man ?-for disguise
it as you may. those who fight to-
gether I'M common cause, by success,
win the same freedom, enjoy equal
rights and equal position, and, in
this case, are distinguished only by
, color. Dire wc prepared for Mis !
Is it for this we are contending !
Is it for this we would seek the aid
of our slaves to win their free
dom with our independence; to estab-
fish in our midst a half or Il quarter
of a million of black freemen, famil-
liar with the arts and discipline of
war, and possessed of large military
experience :
Has the bitter experience of Vir-
ginia, with her free negro population
already been forgotten ? Has that
vexed subject of Legislation found its
solution and remedy in the wise ex
pedient of arming and training to
arms, not only her worthless free
negro population, and is this class to
be multiplied ten-fold by sweeping
slave conscriptions ? Will ignorant,
brutal free negroes be rendered less
