I hardly think, myself, that he haa
crossed tho Rio Grande as yet; for I
think he has too salutary a fear of tho
Rangers to make any suoh demonstra
tion while they are in the neighborhood,
and when it is well known that they are
about to be withdrawn. But that he
will make the crossing is almost as cer*
tain ai that he ha* done to before; for
there is nothing to restrain him from
doing now what he did do three months
ago, and-there is a great opportunity of
driving off-immense herds of stook in
this his last, and most powerful attack.
Of the K. G. C.’s the writer says:
The road is dusty with their constant
movement, and. from this place to Go
liad it is said there is a continuous
caravan of them, coining in small par
ties and large parties, on horsebaok and
in Wagon's, armed and unarmed, with
money and without.
It is reported that 300 of them are in
this vicinity and on the way from Goliad
and their camps aro the liveliest places
about Brownsville.
A company of thirty come in to-day
from Baltinier^, Wilder Lieutenant Phil
lips, and another party arrived on Sun
day, from Harrison county under Lieut.
Gammage. They are all* men. of true
grit, too, and of unexceptionable beha-
vior, for there has been no drinking or
rowdying hereabouts since their arrival,
The Mexicans and the Knights move
along very quietly, but the report of an
advancing force of 2000 men from the
interior toward this frontier, lends color
to the supposition that onr neighbors
over tho river are looking out ana pre-
^ If (§>rtinas doeiTmake another attack
on the frontier, if is confidently believed
that Gen. Houston will lead an invading
column which will conquer and annex
Tamaulipas to Texas. The knowledge
of this desire on the part of Texas
has induced the negroes, large numbers
of whom are settled; on the Rio Grande,
to arm themselves for fight, as they
know that if the Texans do cross the
creek/they will be captured and restor
ed to their proper Owners, for most of
those negroes are runaways from Texas.
It is a curious fact that a paper
most earnestly! deprecating: the business
of pugilism is Porter,s Spirit of the Times,
the leading sporting paper of the coun
try. In its lust issue it rldioules the
idea of raising the fight of Hcenan and
Sayers to the dignity of an intentional
affair, and says of pugilism 1 in general
V There is no kind of combat so unfair
ns pugilism. Two men of equal nerve
and skill may meet on equal terms with
any kind of fire-arms, or the small sword
ana even a Blight disparity is equalized
i of a sudden aim. Add

Bad MoNrv.—There have been about
two hundred $5 bills of the old Bank of
Hamburgh Henry Shults, President,
thrown into circulation during the past
two weeks in this city. The bills are
worthless, and lest the damage already
done may be increased, we will describe
the general appearance of these notes.
The paper is. fair. The engraving is
of an old style, almost entirely unused
at the present day, and the note is prob-.
ably Btruck from a copper plate. The
central vignette presents the Goddess of
Liberty, with the Phrygian cap on a
pole, in a plantation ecene. The check
ends have the head of Washington on
the right and of Franklin on the left.
The notes (or at least the'one we sew)
are dated July 2, 1824. They were ,

But twp men in a fist fight may bo _
in every one of these qualities,—most of
which may be acquired,—and yet if one
has a face like John Morrissey’s or Tom
Sayers’ that is incapable of being hurt,
and like them a stolid sqrt of brutal
instinct that is impossible to etun out of
him—that one is bound to win. Then
there is no combat no beastly and dis
gusting as tho combat with the fiat. If
any one had his choice to be. injured In

pinked in. the hip or winged through

jelly with a great, rough, dirty bunch of
fives? The fist is, and ever will be, the
argument of brutes, blackguards, and
strong bullies. None but the Jews oqd
Anglo-Saxon Celts ever gave it counten
ance, or lent a face to be disfigured by
it. It is rapidly dying out of favor with
them on tho other side of the Atlantic,

strength enough in this country to claim
the merit of dying here at all, much
