MATAMoR0s. Sept. IA, 1865.
On the 18th inst Guadalupe Garcia, who,
four years ago in command of the line OF the Rio
Grande" arrived at Brownsville. He reports that a
loan Of - 100000 has been effected by the Liberal
Minister the United States lie also says that arms,
and other warlke materials have been bought for the
army.
Uths be true the loan win enable the Liberal Gov.
eminent tokase a legion Of 10000 20 10000 men, and
this II has had in view for some time past such n
corps would enable IL to regain all thecounry north Of
the Santancr River, before the Frenchcould collect
force adequate TO arrest its progress.
The attack this place is deferred for time, mter
keeping It in state of suspense for some days, and
obeing Mea 10 send ont his cavalry every evening to
scour the ground in front OF the line Of defenses
The reasons for deeFring the attack are: FIRST to
await for an accession Of force and better supply OF
ammunition. OF course II this gives time 70 the LID
erals 10 gather forces II also gives the enemy time 10
do the same thing.
There may be other reasons and think that what
en- going 20 state II one: The French are gathering
strong force IN and abont Monterey TO be under The
command Of Gen DUnal. who Is there hy tbs tlInr.
From that point be could cut the line of retreat Of any
force moving down the river 10 attack this place, OF
march through Durango upon chihuahua. II French
column of > 600 TO GOO men did the latter II world
carry al before IT, for lO0oO or 1900 Mexicans could
not stop them and there IL not that force In the other
case II force OF Liberals came down the river rom
Camnrgo To attack this place, IL would be cut
Off from its line of retreat and thrown back upon the
river. The way would thea be open 10 the enemy u
march up the river TO CauaTgo and take the road 10
chihuahua In such the Liberal force could only
hurry up tie o banks Of the river and cross the stream
at or Camargo 70 gain the road TO their capital
before the enemy. Even IN doing this II would need
the favor Of Gen Steele the United States commandant
Of the line Of the Rio Gyaude for on crossing the river
H. by the laws Of neutrality. ought Ia throw down It's
arms and Giyest itself Of all military form.
Ofthis plan ofthrowingthe Liberal force in the North
back upon the Rio Grandc. made mention in one OF
my former letters.
That force has crossed the San joan River and noT
lies M and about Mier. u miles from Camargo. with
Gen. EScObado In command This move seems 10 show
that the Liberal General has some fears for his line Of
retreat and Ia keep his force between the enemy
and Chiahuahun. by way Of the Rio Grande. His 20.
tion at Mier Is safe one. the San Juan nterposing
between him and any force that may be sent against
him down the right bank Of the stream.
The enemy have formed two departments-one I'M.
der the command OF Gen Donai. including the Third
and Fifth Territorial Divisions; and The other under
Cen Casiagncy including the sixth and Eighth Dfyis
ons. with headquarters at Durango.
IL Will be- then. that the fIte OF the LIB
efal cause depends uron the aid the party may re.
cciyc rom the people Of the United States. The first
care of the friends Of the ought % be Ia select
honest patriot ana then % make bis Nm strong 20 pui
