future all cotton properly youehed for viii not be

Latest FROM THE Rio GRANDE.-We make up the
following summary of the latest intelligence from the
Rio Grande from the Brownsville correspondent Of
the New Orleans Times, writing under date of the
4th inst:
Through the untiring energy of major Gen. Wright
and bis officers nearly all the rngleaderS in the Bag
dad affair were arrested and placed in confinement.
Among the rest il Crawford's A. A. G., Col Reed
whom the correspondent says is Fine band-boS
looking chap" Speculation is rife in Brownsville as
to the cause Of the presence of Negrete, the new
secretary Of war Ct the Mexican republic.
The Bagdad military commission has closed its la
bors, and no U. s. officers or military organisations
are implicated in the affair. It was entirely an ont
side affair, got up by outsiders who wore the U. S
uniform to give the thing eclat Maximilian's forces
are now in possession of the place.
Murder and robbery is the order Of the day, and
scarcely a night passes without somebody being muir
dcrcd and robbed.
military force had been sent BY Gen. Weitze
after Coytinas but at last accounts the willy Indiar
had not been caught. Col. Garcia, Who with hi;
band, had been committing depredations in the neigh
borhood Of Brownsville had come to grief, being con
fined in prison for his supposed connection with som,
late murders and robberies The writer, after re
counting several robberies and MURDERS winds up hi
letter as follows:

authorities have grown bold that person is safe
