Captured cores spondence between The
rebel Gen. Slaughter and the Impcrialist
Gen. Mejia, shows clearly that trade in
cotton by the rebel Government was recog-

cotton was carried across the Rio GIands 70
Mexico through the eontrivsnce Of Mexi-
can authorities, subsequent to the surren-
der Of Kirby. Smith. If official enquiry
proves the correctness Of this report, our
Government will no doubt demand its re-
storation. Additional particulars Of the
firing on Gen. Mejia's officers ~ our sol-
diers near Brownsville, Texas, shows thai

challenged but deigned no reply. They
reported the case to foreign officer, who
