Cortina*, (he* Cruder of the
BROWNSVILLE ASSAULT.
The New York Times give* the fol
lowing statement respecting the leader
of the recent attacks on Brownsville, in
Texas :
Public attention is at this moment
diverted from the outbreak at Harper’s
lerry to one of another sort in the re- .
gion of Brownsville, Texas, headed by
Cortinas, said to be a Mexican. The
extent of this guerilla chieftain’s opera
tions, and the pertinacity with which he
pursues his murderous plans, would lead
to the belief that he is giving free course
to deep seated and long smothered feel
ings of revenge. If the information we
have at hand respecting this man is cor
rect, and we have every reason to believe
it is, such is the true stale of the case.
“Cortinas is about forty-five years of
age, and was born at a ranch on the Tex
as side of of the Ilio Grande, known as
Edinburg, some ninety miles above
Brownsville. During the Texas war
with Mexico the family of Cotinas was
according to his story, robbed and un
mercifully treated by the Americans. — .
Since that period he has led rather a
predatory life, some times at peace, but
in the main robbing, stealing horses, and
in various ways evincing his hatred of
the whites. A few years since one of
his friends or companions was executed
at Brownsville, and Cortinas himself w as
imprisoned at that place eighteen months
ago, and on his escape or release he vow- ;
ed signal vengeam-e against the sheriff
and other citizens of the town, by whom
he considered himself grievously wrong
ed. It is in fulfilment of his oath of re
venge that Cortinas is now, with other
disaffected Texans of Mexican birth, half
breeds, Indians and ruffians of various
grades,endeavoring to lay waste Browns
ville and its vicinity. This affair does
not originate in any ill-feeling on ihe
part of Mexicans on the other side of the
Rio Grande: and whether Cortinas or
any of his band have in reality experi
enced ur.just treatment from their fellow
citizens of Texas, we of course do not
pretend to decide, it is probable these
outlaws will continue the war upon
Brownsville until a stroug force arrives,
when they will doubtless flee into Mex
ico.”
Important Imperial Decree—
The Deception of the Anieri
eau niuoler.
The following most important, Chi
nese decree ap|>eared in the Perkin Ga
zette, of the 9th of August. It gives a
very nvsderatc account of the British
repulse on the Peiho, and professes, on
behalf of his Celestial Majesty, the
most friendly feelings towards the Uni
ted States and the American Envoy. < f
the Americans, it speaks as follows :
‘•The American Envoy John Ward,
kept his engagements with Kneiliang
and his colleague ; sailed to the port of
Pch-tang, and begged for permission
to go up to the capital to present a let
ter from his government. We accord’
ingly authorized hts admission into Pe
kin to present it, and having this day
perused the letters addressed by the
American Euvoy, John Ward, to
to Kweiiiang and Hwashana. and laid
before us by those Ministers, we find
the language so respectful, the true
hearted ness that has prompted them
such, that we have authorized the En
voy in question to present the letter
he is charged with from his govern
ment to Kweiiiang and his colleague,
whom we have sent to receive it.
‘•As regards the exchange of his trea
ty, be ought properly to return to Shang
hai and exchange it there, but in con
sideration of the long voyage he ha*
made, we (are pleased) specially to au
thorize that the seal be appended to the
treaty, and it be delivered ro llangfuh
to haud in exchange (for another copy)
to the aforesaid Envoy, that from the
date of the exchange there may be peace
and commerce forever more. Thus do
we manifest our great desire to show a
nursing tenderness to the men from afar,
and our appreciation of good faith and
right principle.
“Let Kweiiiang and Ilwashana signi
fy this our pleasure to the Envoy John
Ward for his information. Respect
this !’*
Cotton Shidments. —The following
inlaud movemeut of cottou begins to at
tract attention in commercial circles:
During the year ending August 31st
last, the Cineimiatti Chamber of Com
merce report states that there was receiv
ed at Cineimiatti 49,946 bales of cotton,
the highest quantity at any previous
year being 29,t00 bales in 1836. Os
the first named quantity, 3700 bales
were shipped up the < >hio river, and
35,400 bides were sent by canals and
railways northward. Philadelphia re
ceived, in 1858, 12,000 bales of cotton
by railroad from tin West, but for 1850
we are unable to say w hat quantity has
to come; it will probably go above 20,-
000 bales. But the largest receipt of
cotton for the northern interior is now
over the Illinois Central Railroad. It is
stated that forty one cars were loaded
at Cairo with cotton, in a single day of
last week, and 2,000 bales were sent
over the whole line of the road during
October, for the factories of Western
New York. The record of transactions
in cotton is not currently given at St.
Louis or Cincinnafi, as it should be, and
still more important is the existiug neg
lect to note the direction shipments take
from Memphis, which is the great cot
ton market for the production of Ten
nessee, and part of Arkansas. The
shipments from Memphis for ihe week
ending October 22d, are definitely giv
en, however, and they stand at 7889
bales to New < Means to 4407 sent north
ward by river, of which 1049 bales were
sent to St. Louis, and 2758 to the Ohio
river and Cincinnati. Whether there
are other shipping ports from which c t
---ton goes northward we are not aware,
nor whether the Kentucky railroads car
ry it. Probably 150,000 bales will so
reach the manufacturing establishment of
this city and the country west and north
of us, from the crop of 1859, sine* -U),-
000 bales <>f last gear’s crop cauie to
Cincinnati! alone. The western com
mercial interests will oblige us by mak- I
ing note o; this new trade, and by push
ing it with vigor.
An Inccndiary Absented.—We were in
formed by a reliable gentleman, just on the
eve of going to press, tliat on Monday night
last, in the viciuity of Social Circle, a person
w ith a lighted match was discovered in the
act of setting fire to a gin house. A gentle
man tired his gun at ihe parly and instant
ly killed a negro. When the gun was dis
charged an individual was seen to run, who
was overtaken and captured, and was sup
posed to be the instigator, or real incendiary
in question.— Atlanta Confederacy , Xov. 24.
—The habitues of the Berlin opera are
much excited about a theft of the diamonds
of Miss Emily Frierl*erg, a prominent mem- i
ber of the ballet. They are estimated at a
value of #B,OtIO. She wore them during the
performance on the evening previous to her ,
departure from Cologne, when she placed
them in an iron box in her trnnk. On her i
arrival in that eity she found, on opening
the trunk, that the box with the uiauionds
was gone.
Jli*|*la< el ( oulidcuce.
During the present week a trial took [dace
in our Superior court in which the State
was plaintiff and Joseph Callahan the de
fendant. It appeared in evidence, at the
i trial, that Callahan had been tampering with
a negro in the employ of Mr. Pardue, and
, had promised the negro if ho would run
away from hin owner, that he (Callahan)
would sell him three or four times, divide
. the profits equally, and then set the negro
! free. The negro seemed to thank Callalian
! for his kind nets, and eucouraged him with
the belief that he was all right, but he took
care to promptly inform his owner and em-
Eloyer of the advances and offers of Cal la
au. The negro induced Callahan to be
lieve that all the arrangements for leaving
the city were completed, and ou the night
of the first of September, both were to meet
it Mr. Purdue's -table—each take a good
mule, leave the city, and probublv travel
rapidly, during that night, so as to prevent,
or at least make it difficult to effect their
capture. At the appointed time, Callahan
and the negro were at tde stable. The ne
gro told him that they were now ready to
leave—that he would* bridle and saddle a
pair of mules—and he wanted Mr. Calla
han to renew his promise to him then, as to
what he would do.
‘•I faithfully promise,” said Callahan,
“that I will act honorably up to all my
promises to you—will sell you three or four
| times—divide the sales with you, and then
j set you free.”
The mules were then caught and saddled
1 —the stable door opened, and the negro and
I Callahan led out their stoeds.
It has often been said, and was never
more truthfully exemplified than ou this oc
casion, that “tlie course of true love never
: runs smooth.” Callahan appeared devoted
in his affi-ctions to the negro, while the dar
kie was involving Callahan, step by step, in
i inextricable trouble.
I'l*on information given by the negro, a
police force were secretly stationed in the
stable, and overheard the promise made by
Callahan to the negro. After the parties
had left the stable with the inales, and while
Callahan was in the art of mounting his
mule, he was politely informed that his
presence was immediately desired at the
guard-house, to which place he was conduc
ted by a police -quad, and was subx-quontlv
lodged in the jail of this county. He had,
in the terms of our laws, stolen this negro,
inn-much as he appeared to exercise control
over him, and was in the act of running
away with him when he was arrested. The
jury returned a verdict of guilty.
This case may not afford encouragement to
managers of the under-ground railroad, or
to negro-.tealers generally, hut it is au im
pressive lesson, as well as a high compliment
to the faithfulness of our slave |*opulath>n.
When Abolitionists read this reference to
an affair which occurred in this city, they
might do well to “make a note of it,” or
they, like Callahan, may afterwards medi
tate within the gloomy walls of a southern
prison or penitentiary, on the troubles which
result from misplaced confidence.— Ckmsti

The Nashville (Ten.( Union and Ameri
can, of Saturday, Nov. 19th, comes to us
draped in mourning for the death of G. G.
Poindexter, E-q, one of the editors and
proprietors, who was killed tlie day previous
• by Mr. Allen A. Flail, one of the editors of
the Nashville AV/ot. The Union and .1 m
erican thus alludes to the sad event:
Death of 0. G. Poindexter. —The sad du
ty devolves upon us of announcing the death
of our associate aid Iriend, G. G. Poindex
ter. He was killed yesterday morning by
Mr. Hail, editor of the Daily Xetct.
Mr. Poindexter was a native of Virginia,
and of a family, both on Lis father's and
mother's side, (his mother wa9 a Gilmer,)
eminent for patriotism, talent, and courage.
He was born on .‘>oth November, 1829. He
graduated at Dartmouth College, in New
Hampshire, and the Law School of the Cum
berland University, at Lebanon. In 185 G,
he was the Democratic Elector for the
Eighth District in this State. The late Hon.
A. V. Brown, who knew him well, and ap
preciated his many manly virtues, appoint
ed him Chief Clerk of the Department, over
which he presided in 185 b. This office he
held only about one year, and resigned it,
on solicitations of the publishers of this pa
per, to become one of its editors and pro
prietors. The engagements of his associates
have been such during mo9t the lima of Mr.
Poindexter's connection with the paper, as
to throw most of the editorial labor on him.
We may safely say, that no man in this
country ever earned, in the same time, a
more enviable reputation in this capacity
than that which has been achieved by our
late deeply lamented colleague. Asa man,
he was as nearly faultless as humanity can
become; lor the manly courage, which,
careful of the rights of others, is yet fearless
in tlie defence of the character of its [asses
sor, will by no true man be imputed as n
fault. Courteous in all his intercourse with
others, he exacted the same courtesy to him - j
self.
Counterfeits.—A few weeks ago we men
tioned the fact that a number of counterfeit
bills on the Canal Bank of Selma for Mont
gomery funds, by a stranger sdto was alter- j
wards arrested at Macon, Ga. Tt seems that
there are other counterfeiters of the Canal
Bank notes. Some days ago, a man named
A. E. Taylor, upon whose person #llO in
counterfeit notes on the Canal Bank of Lou
isiana, and #19.1 25 of good money were
found, was arrested at Memphis, and the
police of that city were on the track of some
of his accomplices. It would be well to
keep a lookout for such swindlers. We
learn that the Teller ol Selma Bank has re
covered the money out of which that institu
tion was diddled by the chap arrested at
Macon.— Selma Reporter , Xov. 22.

Gov. Wink at Chaklestowk—„4r
rtval of the Military—Cause of the

Harper's Ferry, Sunday evening. —
Gov. \Y ise arrived at half past 4
o’clock this afternoon, in a special
train, with full four hundred volun
teer soldiery, embracing nine com
panies from Richmond and vicinity.
Ho left about i' o’clock for Charles
town, with four of the companies,
and the remainder will follow in the
morning. They have full camp equip*
age with them, and it is his intention
to form a military encampment at
Charlestown, until after the execu
tion. Arrangements have been
made to obtain supplies of provis
ions for them from Baltimore.
The excitement on Saturday mor
ning was caused first by the receipt
of a rumor that a desperate fight
was going on in Clarke county, be
tween a party of strangers and citi
z.ens ; and the Alexandria Artillery,
which was then at Winchester, was
despatched with a number of armed
volunteers to the seat of the rumor
ed disturbances. Whilst this excite
ment was at its height, and before
the report was discovered to be with
out foundation, a gentleman named
Smith Crane arrived here from lJel
air, near Wheeling, where he report
ed a number of strange nten to be
congregating, between two of whom
he accidentally overheard a conver
sation, the purport of which was that
a body of five hundred men were to
a train of ears at that place,
rush through to Harper’s Ferry, and
attempt the rescue of Brown and his
companions. He immediately set
out for Harper’s Ferry, to apprise
the inhabitants of what lie had over
heard.
(In reaching Charlestown he re
ported to Col. Davis, who immedi
ately telegraphed to Gov. Wise for
five hundred troops. The troops
have arrived. Governor Wise has
gone to Charlestown, ar.d all isagain
quiet and will doubtless remain so.

Savannah, Nor. 28, 1859.
My Dear Doctor :—l have been sojourn
ing, for a couple of weeks past, in the beau
tiful city of Oglethorpe, and have availed
myself of the occasion to attend the trial of
Brown, Rajesta and Aouira, charged
with the crime of piracy, in having been
a part of the crew of the Wanderer, and
assisted in the importation and landing of
Africans. As some things have transpired
which the [tapers here have not, for reasons
best known to themselves, recorded, I havo
thought it projtcr to give jour readers an
idea of how justice is administered in a U.
S. Court.
It will be remembered tliat the three men
above mentioned, we arrested on suspicion,
more than a yeur ago. It seems that they
were quite strangers who had occasion to
sojourn, for a short period, at the city hotel,
and finding it necessary to replenish their
wardrobe, they stepped into the clotlirag
store of a certain spindle faced yalike*, here,
of decided Northern proclivities, who after
the manner of hi* section became inquintivo,
and because his customers happened to wear
clothing which had evidently “seen some
aervice,” and because the Re pull iron had
recently published an articleabout the land
ing of tha Wanderer's cargo : and because
he ascertained by asking impertinent ques
tions, that one of them knew a certain slave
trader named Jack Miller, this Solomon of
the shears imagined, or at ha termed it on
the stand, suspected that they were of the
Wanderer's crew ; straightway lie gives in
formation to the District Attorney, who
had them arrested and thrown into prison. ,
An examination was held before the U. i.
Commissioner and the men remanded for
irial, at the May term of the U. S. Cir
cuit Court, his honor Judge Wayne, not
only continued their case, to the Novomber
term, because ('apt. Corrie was included in
the indictment and had not been arrested, but
refused to allow them to be bailed, thus
dooming them to spend a long, hot und
perhaps unhealthy summer, in the jail of
this county, which is any thing but a pal
ace. Fortunately the city was unusually
healthy, and they escaj*ad with their lives,
though oLe of their number, Aucika, has
contracted a consumption, which will no
doubt carry Dim oft’, in a short time !
But “the longest day must have an end,”
the year finally rolled around and their
case came up for trial. 1 attended at the
court room every day, and watched the pro
ceedings with the same deep interest which
seemed to pervade the entire community.
Your readers are already aware of the re
sult of the trial, and as the papers here
have published full reports of the testimony,
it is unnecessary for me to do mere than
allude ta it in general terms. The evidence
was entirely circumstantial, very strongly
circumstantial, I mutt admit—and which 1
believe that nine tenths of the people hero,
believe that those three men were part of
the Wanderer'a crew, still there was room
for doubt, and I don’t believe that any
twelve Southerner*, or men who ought to
be allowed to remain in the South, could be
found in Savannah, who would have brought
in a verdict of guilty. The .Jury were out
about hours, one man persisting
in his determination to convict, but he fi
nally came to his senses, and a verdict “not
guilty” was rendered. I assure you, I nev
er saw so many perfectly delighted men in
my life, as were here when the result was
made known. There was an intense excite
ment throughout the city, which pervaded
all classes, many persons having remained
up the best part of Tuesday night, in the
hope of getting the verdict, and when it was
rendered on Wednesday, it took all the
Marshals aud their deputies to prevent a
popular demonstration in the court room.
One would have thought, after such a
clear expression of public opinion in favor
of the prisoners, and ao triumphant a vin
dication from the charges brought against
them, that the government would have
given their further persecution over as a
bad job. On the contrary they were, at
once sent buck to jail, to await trial on two
other indictments. What the exact na
ture of these two additional indictments is,
I have not been able to learn, but believe
they are fur holding and abutting the hold
ing of African negroes, contrary to the stat
ute, Ac. This charge was clearly contained
in the first indictment, and this additional
attempt of the government and its officials,
to punish these men for the commission ot
no crime, is looked upon by almost the en
tire community of Savannah, as a wicked
and malignant persecution.
It has been plainly enough perceptible to
every spectator throughout these trials, that
the Circuit Judge came here fully impressed
with the idea that the dignity of the United
States had been insulted, and that it was his
duty as the representative of the Govern
ment, to inflict summary punishment upon
these men, na a satisfaction of the otfended
dignity aforesaid, lie has not failed to in
sult the prisoners, and their friends, w hen
ever opportunity bus presented itself; he
has attempted to browbeat and intimidate
witnesses, when it appeared to him that they
tavored the prisoners ; lie lias allowed the
prosecution to introduce evidence so clearly
irrelevant that the merest tyro of the law in
’ tho court room, was surprised at the pro
ceeding ; lie has favored the prosecution
throughout, and to crown it all, his charge
to the Jury at the close of the trial, was a
move perfect argument against the prison
! ors than the effort of Mr. 11. R. Jackson
although that gentleman fell fainting into
his chair, at tho close of four and a half
hours speech.
I wish I had the room to give your rend
ers an abstractor this charge to the jury.—
It would make them open their eyes, but it
would, at the same time, give them some
idea of how justice is administered in a gov
ernment court. After debating, at some
length, on the enormity of the offence, and
entering into a full history of the law against
the slave trade, Ac., iu the course of which,
he claimed that Congress hud an indisputa
ble right to regulate the trade in negroes,
as in every thing else, and to declare the
bringing of Africans into this country to be
piracy, and deserving of the punishment of
death—his honor had the entire testimony
rend to the jury, as taken down by Judge
Nicol. “The court” then proceeded to
sum up the ‘evidence, and to present its
strong points, declaring it to he a complete
chain, not wanting a single link. He stated
to the jury that it was not his province to
speak of the conclusiveness of the evidence
in its entreaty, but he did take it up and
apply it to the several counts in the indict
ment, and declared it to be conclusive on
each one of them. For instance, it was
necessary to prove, Ist. That the Wanderer
was ow ned by an American citizen. This
he declared to he proved beyond the p tsaibiti
ty of doubt by the evidence of certain Char
leston w itnesses. 2nd. That she went to the
coast of Africa, and returned witli a cargo
of negroes, which were landed on tho coast
|of Georgia. This, he declared, was plainly
proven by the evidence of Mr. Chjcever,
who calculated her course to Africa and
back, and by Messrs. H.vkkis, Clibb, ami
others, who saw the negroes on board. The
third, and lust count —that the prisoners
were of her crew or ship’s company, which,
he gave as his opinion, was proved conclu
sively by the evidence of various witnesses.
Now, my dear sir, can you tell me the dif
ference between giving a jury an opinion of
the conclusiveness ot evidence, as a whole,
and giving one as to the cooclusiveness of
three separate counts, which, taken togeth
er, make up the whole ? But did you ever
before hear of a Judge on the bench telling
a jury that the evidence before them was
sufficient to condemn tho prisoners at the
bar? The Judge even went further, he
beyye.d for a verdict. He told tho jury that
they were sworn to bring in this verdict ac
cording to the evidence. From his charge
it was plain that he considered the evidence
conclusive, therefore it was their duty to
convict. Now what, think you,did he fur
ther? He told them they must not allow
any feeling in favor of the prisoners to influ
ence them, hut that if they brought in a
verdict of Guilty, lie and li’s brother asso
ciates would join in a petition to the Presi
dent for pardon, and that such a petition
had never yet been disregarded! Would
you have believed it? A circuit Judge of
the United States begging for a verdict
agaii.st men whom he declares to he guilty
of ft crime deserving of death, and then
promising if they were found guilty that
he would beg the President of the United
Stales to pardon them! Credite posteri !
But this letter has already grown too
long, and I must close. 1 have other matters
to speak of, nnd will take occasion to do so
in a subsequent letter. lam anxsous that
the southern public shall knowjust how this
matter has been conducted, and with your
permission, will give them some additional
points in another letter. Meanwhile, I re

Wanderer.
