stOppagc Of Train and Attempted Robbery
Of 100000 by DesperadOes-Oue Of the
Gang shot Dead.


stoppasc Of "a Train and Attempted Robbery
Of 100000 by Desperadoes-One Of the
Gang shot Dead.
BROWNSVILLE, August IL, 1868.
On Monday night, the 10th inst, conducta from
Monterey, with $4,000 In specie was attacked
within three miles OF Matamoros by six desperadoes,
who succeeded In taking possession OF the train.
The guard acting as escort the treasure consist
ing Of thirty men well armed with Henry rnes, were
either surprised and overcome, orperhaps had pri
vate understanding with their assailants beforehand
and overcome by the prospect OF sharing the rich
booty with the capors. The six daring outlaws how
ever ceeded getting possession Of the treasure,
and would, no doubt, have succeeded In carrying
it Cd and secretlng 1t, but Of the escort, more
daring than the others, opened an attack on the
robbers by firing on them from one Of the wagons.
He sucoecded in shooting one Of them named Miguel
Ramirez, through the head, and In woundng another
remainder Of the escort rallied around their intrepid
leader, and succeeded 10 arresting four OF them.
Among the latter II q desperate named Abram Gar
cia, who Il Is said, Is long known as r0bber and
assassin under the nom de 0erTe OF Caballo Banco.
About o year ago the young man Ramirez was
under Indictment for murder in the District Court
Of this place, but discharged by noHe prOseqi be-
cause the evidence against him was insufficient to
sustain the charge. His father is q wealthy old
missr. and like several others OF the robbers he is
connected with some Of the most influential families
In MatamorOs. His dead body, perforated by two
bullets, exposed AZ the calaboose all day Tues
fhe fellow Caballo Blanco, whose crimes are said
TO he almost incredible from their number and au-
dacity has been demanded from the custody OF Gen.
eral Palacos the military commandant, by the civil
authorities. and the former has surrendered him for
other known reason than that II Is supposed he
has influential hackers In Matamoros who hope thus
TO save him from certain punishment and, perhaps,
themselves from exposure ~ accomplices In some Of
his crimes.

CRIME AMONG THE SOUTHERN NssRues.

The Grand Jury sitting in Columbus, Miss. have
presented report W which, among other things,
they stste:--
We are glad 20 report that, despite the prophesies
or moral deterioration on account Of the late war
and the constantly repeated charge OF IawIcssness
on the part OF the political party controlling the
government, our white population are maintaining
their former high position for integrity and obedi-
to law, and that although we have no regularly
recognized state government our people are cling
ing with increasing tenacity to the old forms OF legal
administration, as evidenced by their respect and
and obedience 70 the claims and judgments
OF this honorable Court and all other j,i-
dicia bodies. Your Grand Jury have found an
unusually small number OF indictments against white
citizens OF the county. We are sorry we cannot
make equally as good report OF our coored popua-
ton. Crime among them appears to be frightfuy
upon the increase especially larceny, vagrancy, Sab
bath breaking and prostitution. The civil of1jcers
inform us that they will be compelled to overlook
cases OF petty larceny until our crowded tails ana
places " confinement are enlarged and increased.
and that unless other forms OF penalty are devised
county, and just In proportion as the criminals
escape punishment so vsgrancv and stealing
will increase. Your Grand Jury had hoped
with freedom aud the prospect OF elevation
"a race the colored people would look
with higher regard upon the marital relation and
endeavOr tn incucate more elevated views OF chas-
tity and virtue. But find the very reverse to lie
true. Forncation adultery and bigamy, almost UNI
fruitful cause OF many OF the disturbances Of the
peace, and even OF the murders committed. The
temptations held out 10y the bad white men NJ our
cities will not account for the prevalence OF these
crimes. but we lind them equally common In the
country and upon the plantations a. elsewhere. The
very nature Of these infractiOns OF law are such
to prevent your uries from obtaining necessary evil
dence for indictment, aud they can only hope that
they may nc ahated by the moral couDsels and rigid
example Of the better educated and superior race Of
Whites with wl0p thel ere brought In contact
