From the Rio Granilc- Capture Of
Bagdad.
! Brownsville, Texas, Jan. S-All Is excite.
nent in this part OF Texas Bagdad has
been surprised and captured and the air is
fall of rumors of new attempts and more ex-
t"nswe exnc1itions. 1t is diificclt, il the
midst of all this commoion, to write calmly
and coolly, but the following may be taken as
an accurate and truthful account of the events

Jan S, by Il force consisting of about fifty
white and colored American Liberals, whose
rendezvous had been for few days previous
at Clarksville, little village situated on the
river, directly opposite Bagdaa This little
force was under the command of Colonel A.
F.. Reed, of the 10th u s. Colored Infantry.

Clay Crawford the commander of the Ameri-

turned Liberals as soon as they were called
upon to surrender During the pro rress Of
the attack the Imperial gunboat Antonia
with four grns kept up vigorous fire on the
assalants hut Il sX-ponndcr under the com
mnnd Of Capt. Shaw finally drove her up the
river to Matamoras, where she is now lying
in safety.
At 10 o'clock in the evening of. Friday,
Gen Crawford, accompanied by his A. A. G.,
COL G. p Edgar, and Major VIM H. Hi lbee,
arrived from Brownsville after long ride of
thirty miles, which they had accomplished in
three hours Gen Crawford immediately as.
