s- From the Rio Grande.
We are indebted to Purser G. B. Black, of the
steamship Crescent, for files of the Brownsville
Courier up to the 1lth instant inclusive. From
them we gather the following items:
The body of Sergeant Nathaniel Windsor, of the
4th Wisconsin Cavalry, was found on Sunday last
about six miles below the city, on the Carksville
road He left Brownsville, on horseback, on
Saturday evening the 9th ult. carrying dispatches
from Major General Wright to General Clark, and
was not heard of until found hung up to mus
quito tree, about thirty yards from the main road.
As Mr.. Burmester had left only two hours previous,
and his Whereabouts until now is unknown, it is
supposed that both fell into the hands of the same
parties. Connecting the, above with the fact that
in the Bagdad affair, and that the sergeant was
bearer of dispatches to General Clark relative TO
the same case, we will leave our readers to decide
who was the party or parties interested in these
TWO men not FSdGuiQS tHSlF uSStIHhblou
The body of the unfortunate young man. MIR.
Hermann ]. F. Burmester agent OF the firm OF
Droege, ,Oetng d Co., Of Matamoros, was found
yesterday morning by Mr.. Green, of the stage
company, about one mile from the government
station, some twelve miles below town He was
from all appearances assoed from his horse and
dragged about one hundred yards from the main
road to the bank of the river. He had been beaten
to death, his skull being badly fractured.
The Courier gives amentable aspect to affairs
Lin Brownsville. It says that as long as armed sol
diers are allowed to run at large at all hours, it
would require policeman before each house to
abate robbery and intrusion. The market house,
guarded by two men of the 35th Wisconsin, was
robbed of whole beef, by . dozen colored sol
diers, at A o'clock in the morning. Complaints
have been made repeatedly to the post comman-
don't of similar outrages, but no punishment has
4 followed. #s# essE S75.a + tL -u

| We announced the other day that Mendez, with
two thousand men, had possession of all the roads
4 leading from Tampico, and was deprlving that
| city of all communication with the interior 1t is
rumored to-day in our sister city on the other side
| of the Rio Grande, that the collision which the
position of Tampico would inevitably bring, has at
last taken place, with heavy loss to the Liberals.
4 The following is the rrumor alluded to-: The
\ French garrison of Tampieo, of l20 men strong
i had been reinforced of few hundred men, when
vicinity of the city. at. j 9T%Y5 {rl, nv
On the French troops advancing, Mendez re-
! treated to a certain spot, we'll situated for an
| ambuscade where the French advance guard
about sixty men were massacred without pity.
i The balance of the troops, although inferior in
numbers to Mendez's force, 600 against 200) ad
yanced and began the attack with vigor. The
| bayonet alone, in which the French excel, was
| used with such result that the enemy retreated
and were pursued several hours Mendez and
almost all his staff officers are reperted as killed
| The killed and wounded Of Mendez are stated
| to be about $50 men, to no more than about 100
FrenGhmen, including the sixty killed in the first
1 part of the action. III ID ttaE EE& l&+ -4A
The victory over Meudez has opened business
from Tampico with the interior which had so long
beeninterrupted by Mendez, who obstinatey stayed

The milkmen in the habit of carrying milk from
the Texas side of the Rio Grande to Matamoros
have been detected in bringing spirtuous liquors,
| such as whisky, c0gnac, wine and even absynth
back in their milk cans Since this contraband
trade has been stopped, people generally in
| Brownsville are sober. @
The guerilla bands operating in northern Durango
are hard pressed by several French sauadrons.
| They are in full flight. &%
At the evacuation of Monterey by the French
forces, the panic among the population was SC
great that they deserted the cityin mass. In two
days three thousand passports we're granted, and
upwards of two Thousand people fed to neighbor,
| ing towns. The population was reduced in three
days from 40, 900 to 5000. Not single foreigner
remained. ,g-,-f L. ss.sa'F ys57s5 b55 .
