ing black mail on some of his constituents
The Ranchero says that, on the I'd, Cortina was
encamped within fourteen miles Of Matamoros,
He is there negotiating for men, arms and sup
plies, and is said to be receiving renforcements
in considerable numbers; but from which side of
Che river is not stated.
The Ranchero of the Sd says:
Canales is hourly becoming weaker. Last
night hfty-one of his men deserted to this side,
bringing with them their arms. A general force
toanlng dlsafiecton prevails among the inhabi-
,tants OF Matamoros, and we hazard nothing in
saying that large majority Of the people are
anxious for a change of rulers.
Canales and Gortina are equally brave. They
are really the champion fighters of the border.
Both would be unpopular were they not pitted
against each other; but as the case now stands it
is a choice between evils Canaes, however, is
not going to abandon the goose which he is SO fast
squeezing to death to get the golden egg, without
struggle.
If Canales possessed sufficient force to man the
Notifications surrounding the city, we should look
for siege, bnt since he will be compelled to draw
in his men to haze much force at one point pro-
badly sharp street fight will decide who is to be
the governor. As to when the fight will take
place must depend entirely upon COrtina. Should
he succeed in negotiations now pending the rattle
of musketry may be heard within twenty.four
hours. But should he not succeed in getting the
arms and munitions in anticipation q week may
pass before the exciting sound Of battle will greet
our accustomed ears.
The following is from the Rio Graule Courier Of
