A TRIP TO TExAs.--,i.
BROWNSVILLE.

1he lights of Brownsville soon twinkle through the low chapparal, and the wretched looking brutes upon whom so much compassion has been wasted, ap- dash into the town at undiminished speed, whirl about the corners, and. escorted by crowd of yelping ours, bring up at "Miller's Wing" "Good night" to Dr de Castro who hurries towards his home, now scarcely mile distant, and we look up the veterans son, whom we soon find Ill good health. A twenty dollar greenback is exchanged for nineteen dollars of what is termed 'sslick money" which consists of all the old Spanish coins from seven- teen to twenty-five cents each. which, no matter how much worn or dafaeed, pass for quarters, and they scoff at your green back. The proprietor blandly relieves us of the greater part and leaves us with motley collection. but the great question is solved. Silver clinks in our pockets and specie payment is resumed.
 Brownsville is town of three or four thousand inhabitants, situated on the right bank of the Rio Grande, and as nearly opposite the Mexican city of Mata- moras as the winding course of the river will permit. It derives it's name from the earthwork of 1846, so fercely bombarded by the Mexicans and so ably defended by Major Brown, of the 7th Infantry, in which affair that gallant officer lost his life. The fort formed the nucleus near which the town has grown mp. Occupy ing an important point on this foreign frontier, tho government has made liber- al expenditures on the construction of quarters and storehouses for troops of all arms of the service, and the garrison is now composed of five companies, 24th Colored Infantry, one of which is mount ed and undergoing instruction in cavalry tactics. The travellers visit the post and receive friendly visits from the very gen. tlemanly officers of the garrison who ex- tend hospitality so far as to provide us with plainly furnished rooms. And, be- hold us now quietly established under our Uncle's roof with the green grass of the parade ground before us Shady veran- das protect us from the heat of the sun we luxuriate in the soft breezes from the Gulf, and the in twitter of innumerable birds from the trees in the National Gem etery. Under the shade of the gallery we watch the movements of the mounted company. The blacks are excellent riders, and manage their fiery Mustangs with very considerable skill, though some are thrown at every attempt to mount. These animals are generally of the same style as our late stage acquaintances, small ill size, but endowed with indomitable spirit and wonderful endurance, and, in good hands, are said to be very serviceable for cavalry purposes.

MR. EDITOR: I do not know "Eno," '" but perhaps he is good one to find out whether there are any unlicensed dealers here. If there are, perhaps he has the money to prosecute them. ''T' is alto gether too poor.

 Editor, I admire your ''Temperance' ar ticle of week before last. It is very plain that our present law ''means restriction" and, if you truly defined it, in an editorial

An yes. if we have no unlicensed deal CTS, and the ''icensed" abide by the law, we shall see no drunkards or minors reeling about; for it not only cannot be sold to such directly, but, as you defined it, the law forbids selling to those who could possibly get it round to such I have never troubled myself on the question of 'swoman's suffrage" Mir. Editor. But read with great interest letter in your last issue from an able judge in Wyoming Territory on the excellent effect there.

WARMoTH.- correspondent of the Troy Times says that. with all his villainy, Warmoth is man of brain, of tact, of good breeding, and of Remarkable person. al magnetism. He has been catalogued as the handsomest man in Washington by more than million ladies' ever since his arrival here. Instead of being summed, he has been courted. He Is lion. Know ing how to make the most of his personal attractions, shrewd enough to conceal his inordinate vanity, he has made his stay here continual ovation. In the Hobbies of the Capitol he is always the center of crowd. Perhaps they are not admirers in their soul, but externally they are, and it answers the same purpose. He has 8 joke and retort for the senator, the con- gressman and the layman. He speaks of the chaos that crushes Louisiana as 'smy little affair down there, i" and to his laugh there is always a responsive laugh. In the ballroom, which he affects, he is still the center of circle. The wives and daugh- ters of the congressman initiate the aping example of their husbands and their fathers - and who can blame them? ''How charming and handsome he is, to be sure! and so wicked besides"- that is the formula whenever Warmoth is the topic. The fact of the wicked ness seems to heighten the fascination. His history serves the purpose of the brass buttons and glittering trimmings of the "middy," before whom all young civilians have to make way in Washington society. To be presented to Warmoth in proper style is as great an event in the history of Q young lady as to be presented to the President, and if he smiles and shows signs of being unusually interested, oh heavens, what bliss!

MATAMORAS.

It is resolved topay visit to Matamo- ras, city of about ten thousand inhabi- tants named from city in old Spain and signifying in their language, killing of Moors" Our travellers, with the mount ed Captain and his second Lieut., form the party crossing the river by ferry, each paying for the privilege a smooth six pence, while, for two of the same coins.
 we are conveyed in shabby carriages to the main plaza of the city. There is nov city all around the streets are narrow i; the houses generally of one story, and all built, more or less, with design of de- fensive occupancy, and quite dissimilar in style of architecture to anything seen in the East. We enter stores, and as the doctrine of protection does not exist in this country, we find the prices of most goods agreeably cheap. The party strolls around, and meeting a young Mexican officer, we ask if a visit to the garrison is permitted. Excusing himself. he disap- pears, but soon reappears and beckons us to follow. We pass around the corner, enter doorway, pass through dingy hall into not very pretentious back yard, turn to the right, and suddenly find ourselves in the mess-room of the 22d Infantry. The officers were at dinner,
 with Lt.-Col. Ramary at the head of the table. The party at the table speak no English. The visitors are unfamiliar with Spanish, and feel like intruders.
 The existence of real hospitality.:is, how ever, unmistakable, and seats are at once provided at the table, our travellers at either hand of the Colonel. The veteran now masters sufficient Spanish to explain that we are filled with regret, but is quite unable to give them an idea of what we are sorry for, so that things do not seem to progress. At this moment Major M, of the 24th U. s. l., is ushered in. who is able to converse in Spanish. Ex- plantations soon follow formal introduc- tions are had; pitcher of claret is pro- duced, and the health and prosperity of the officers of tho 22d proposed. The Colonel replies, hoping that the present amlcable relations may continue to exist.
 We are seated, and the first course ap- pears on the table. I doubt if Miss Les l lie describes, or if even Delmonico has yet produced it. Having the appearance of thin chop or outlet, it certainly looked we'll enough, and wishing to convince them that I was we'll acquainted with their dishes and had brought with me a good appetite, attacked it with vigor, and found immediately that had collid- cd with red pepper done in batter. A fairly sound throat and a plentiful claret bath forced it downward, and I awaited events with pleasant anticipations which were fully realized. The veteran was the next victim, and he took it rather harder than myself, though he finally succeeded in surrounding it. and then raised his tear-dimmed eyes with somewhat re- proachful glance, to meet wink. A moment and the entire party had formed a weeping chorus and we once more start ede even. Various courses followed some extraordinary in appearance, but general
 y good, all of which were approached with due degree of eantion. What struck your correspondent as a sensible
Litchfield enquirer., 1873-03-27

feature, was that a very fine article of
 claret was served in pint tumblers. so that one had himself to blame for long re-
 taining any unpleasant taste. The dinner
 was finally brought to close, the Colo nel cordially inviting us to visit his new
 made wife. We bade adieu to our hospl- table entertainers, followed the Colonel to his private quarters and were present. ed to his pretty black-eyed wife, who re- ceived us very gracefully, though it was apparent that the Colonel had given no notice of our visit. The rooms were pleasant and we'll furnished, prominent feature being Wheeler X Wilson sewing machine, and the Signora, in her pretty Castilian, informed the veteran (who we found could talk deal more Spanish
 than we gave him credit for), that with the aid of it, she could make her own dresses, an effort of skill and perseverance, most marvellous in that class of ladies. With the Colonel we next visit the quar- ters of his men, a body of stolid, docile- looking Indians, who sleep on their mat ting spread directly upon the brick floor and are apparently we'll contented with their condition. They are we'll supplied with servicable knapsacks,. canteens, and breech-loading arms of the Roberts patent, and are said to appear at their best on battalion drill.
 We part respectfully with the gentleman ly and hospitable Colonel, select our caleocho, and enlivened by neck and neck race on the road, return to the ferry and our rooms, greatly pleased with the days doings. At MiIler's we meet the commission appointed to investigate claims against Mexico for cattle spoilations of long standing. Col. Robb, late Col lector at Savannah Gov Osborn, colonel of an Illinois regiment during the late war; and MT. Savage, graduate of West Point, recently in the service of the Khediye of Egypt, constitute the mem bers present for duty; Judge Howe, of Chicago, being at present quite too sick to take part in their proceedings. A troop of the 4th U. s. Cavalry R. 8. McKen- zie's) is assigned to escort them, and in a. few days they move along the border collecting evidence as they go, while a Mexican Commission is busily engaged on their own border ill preparing counter claims. Consequential damages, we are told, constitute major part; and COW stolen fifteen years since IS called upon to do her level best for her owner, and every supposed descendant is charged in the bill, and at good round price, too. The travellers have thus far formed no fixed plan for future proceedings. but for some few weeks will feel obliged to enjoy the mild influence of this semi-tropicai climate, hoping that far distant friend} are anxiously looking for letters to know
 of them and their welfare. s-s -=-sz!
