everything has settled down into the most
painful monotony. Yes, here we are from
day to day without even bit of 'scrim-
age, tJ relieve the tedium ofeyery day life,
True we hear the sound occasionally across
the river between the Liberals and Max
an afraid the cause of the Liberals i
hopeless, and shall attempt my reasons for
this conclusion Tis nothing more than
Ignorance, which renders them the most
stupid of any race | know Of Thus it is
only necessary for some one to raise a stan
dard, and he viii not want followers Cor
tina is an example; before the war the most
inhuman of cut-throats, and in Brownsville
stands indicted of 40 murders He was the
terror of the people on both sides of the
river until defeated by our noble Stoneman
who killed some so of his party. At the
invasion of the French, he took sides with
the Liberals, and continued with them until
Gen. Mejar's advance on Matamoras, when
he turned over his forces and joined the I'm
perialists, marching against his former
friends. But finding he did not possess the
influence he expected, he turned about and
is at present waging a war of determination
upon the French. When we came here, he
was looked on as a patriot; but now that he
is known, all turn him the cold shoulder
In conversation with a Captain Of Ne
gretes force, was informed that Cortina
was held in supreme contempt by the Libe-
rails. No prisoners are ever taken either
of, or by Cortinas force. give you the
following facts Some days since a sergeant
of the 43 Z. S. Colored crossed the river
either to plunder or desert, was captured
by Cortina, and held, until the Imperals
made rally, driving Cortina and capturing
the sergeant He was Immediately con-

the grand army of the Rio Grande is be-
ing disbanded All the Northern regiments
are now on their way home, among which
are the Sd, Sth. I'D, ADD, 45th and ll4th

not look like intervention, and, fear the

the following order is published
HID QUARTERS, 18th A. G.
In THE FIELD, Texas, Oct. 8, 1865.
GENERAL ORDER, No 65
The commanding General desires to ex
press to the many good regiments that arr
about to be mustered out, his regret at thei
| departure, and to congratulate them on th
pleasure they viii experience in returning
to their friends and relations at home.
Although none Of them have as many bat
tie fields to be proud of, as the regiment
that were raised at the beginning of tn
war, still they have an equally brilliant rec
ord, because they have always accomplishe
everything required of them.
/ Olustee, Petersburg, the Mine, Deep Bot
tom New Market Height, FursePs Mills
and Pine Mill Road, are among those field
where they proved their valor and settle
the question as to the capacity OF the colo
ed man to make good soldier
The Commanding General has, no doub
that in their future conduct as private cit
zens at home, they will, by their good b,
havior, preserve untarnished the brilliar
record they have made in the army.
By command Of Major General Weitzel.
