THE DAILY TIMES. JI AN riMM'IW. SOMETHING ABOUT THE BANDIT WHO H\S BEEN MAKING TROUBLE ON Til E TEXAN FRONTIER. 1 l it>iu tho Kuneas City Tim**.] Cortina is a native of the Sierra Ma ; dern Mountains, over fifty years old, live feet seven inches high, swarthy, broad-shouldered, ami with piercing black eves. Previous to our Mexican war he lived with his mother on a runcho near Brownsville, and was i locally celebrated for his horseman ship, nis skill with tho lariat and pis tol, ami the assiduity with which lie devoted himself to gambling and 1 cock-fighting. When the Mexican War began, tie became a courier, spy and bush-waeker in tho Mexican | service, amt soon made a reputation i which clung to him after the war, land caused him to bit feared and i shunned even In time of peace. He | waylaid and murdered Colonel True man Cross, If. S. Q. M. G. This was the first blood shed iu General Tay lor's anuy of observation. Lieuten ant Porter amt three other men soon after fell by Cortina,s hand. His in tense hat red of Americans lias never Dogged for a moment since. In 1859 he witnessed the shooting of a Mexi can in Brownville by the City Mar shal named Spears. Cortina advanc ed upon Spears, spoke lo him and than deliberately shot him in tho fftoe. Escaping to Mutamoras, he soon after reppeared at, daybrako with thirty mounted and armed Mexicans in front, of Browuvelle jail. The jailer, a brave Connecticut volun teer, who had remained iu Texas after the war, refused to give up tho keys and killed a Mexican who tit tempted to take them from him. The next moment he was pierced with bullets and hacked to pieces with Mexican sabres. Cortina then liberated all t he prisoners, Mexicans and Americans, in jail, enrolled them iu his band, amiratreatM at the head of nearly one hundred ent-throuls, after murdering another citizen named Neill, against whom he had a grudge. This was the beginning of a re j markable career, in which, as bandit I chief ami scourge of the Texan fron j tier, ho has ever since remained the I ruling spirit in the Mexican State of i Tamaulipas. Taking position at iiis mother's rancho, and issuing a pro nuneiamento promising to retake tho land of his people, as far as the Nue ces, he soon had over 500 lighting men, and with these and others who Hocked to his standard, he occupied and desolated the frontier of Texas for live mouths iu spita of all the forces sent against him by the Mexi can and American nuthorraes. "With 2,000 men, artillery and munitions of war, he kept Brownsville in a state of siege, conscripted Mexican residents, seized United States mails, and drove immense herds <f stock to Mexico, murdered citizens hi every direction, and fought Humorous I bloody battles and skirmishes with inferior bodies of Texan Rangers. At last a small body of United States in fantry, artillery and cavalry, under Major Helntzelman and Captains Htoneman and, Ricketts, came to the assistance<f the Bangers and drove Cortina front a strong position near the old Palo Alto battle-ground after a sharp fight. Cortina, now feeling strong enough to revolutionize Tam aulipas, make himself king of the border, and return to Texas with a larger army, marched up the river to Rio Grande City, expecting to plunder and recruit as lie went,, and to march upon Matamoras and make himself master of Tamaulipas by declaring for the church party. He was sur prised by the Americana at Rio Grande City, on tho Mexican tide* His forces word scattered,' witli tho loss of sixty slain on the spot and many more, killed ia the pursuit on Mexican soil. With u fragment of his command ho recrossed the river, and again commenced his plunder ing operations, but was again over taken and routed, with heavy loss, by the rangers. Tills pursuit, of Cortina and the bat tle on the other side of tile river caused great excitement in Mexico, where his exploits had been exaggera ted, and hailed as patriotic. General Twiggs, however, adjusted the diffi culty with the Mexican authorities, and Cortina, defeated of the end aimed at, retired to a ruqche, where he lived in great style and profusion upon his stolen wealth. During the French invasion he played patriot, rallied his old banditti, seized the Gubernatorial chair of Tamaulipas and shot all who questioned his au thority. The French deposed him. Ha proposed to declare for them if they would leave him undisturbed in his little despotism. They refused, and bo began a murderous and plun dering guerilla warfare on his own hook, and kept, it up until t hey forced him to tako refuge inside tho lines of tho United States forces then waging war against tlie'Confederatos. —*•— — The American-, in Central Africa. The Americans serving under the Khedive of Egypt in Central Africa arc engaged in a twofold undertak ing, tile scientific exploration of the Nile basins and the conquest of the equatorial tribes. This double enter prise has already proved substantially successful, notwithstanding the ob stacles which impede the African ad venturer beyond the Nubian desert. Along the banks of tho White Nile, many points have been astronomi cally determined which will serve us fixed data for triuugulatiou. Iu fact,, all the bases necessary for accurate cartography have' been obtained by Gen, Gordon’s offl'-ers, And have been forwarded to Ghn. Stone, Who ts the Khedive’s chief of staff, and iu effect the War Minister of Egypt. The area thus explored and mapped Em braces the valley of tho main Nile and the outlying territory eastward to the Rod Sea and westward to the kingdom of Wadai, i Southward of the Great Lend of the Nile begins the cotton region of the Soudan, extending toward the equator, and covering an area tnrefi times the size of France; and still be yond lies the land of ivory aud the | slave trade, with numerous isolated I kingdoms, which must ultimately be i annexed to tho dominion of the Khe ! dive, Tim material resources of this ! region are very great. The soil is of unsurpassed richness, and labor, for its cultivation would be nufficifcntly abundant after the conquest of the tribes along the banks of tho TV lute Nile, of whom, though large num bers formerly became the prey of the slave trailers, it is estimated.that 20,- 000,000 are remaining. ' This immense region is not alone to be explored, but to bo conquered, the i purpose being plainly to found a great African autocracy, an empire the staple product of which shaif be cotton, tlm social institution of which shall bo polygamy, and whose law and policy shall be concentrated in the personal will of its ruler.

Harassed, flHtf'cfor, by no J diifiouiallo intorferei'.fs'. restricted by no Lcfflslntiiro; to* stubborn' to i permit the existeuco of a council of Ministers, nnd with sufficient breadth and ability to dispense with advice, Ismail Pasha is likely to realize his great ambition.

Of eourso, ; t hero is a dark side to his character, i lie is a wanton profligate. To win j tho smile of tho late Empress of the French, ho caused one of his chief fa vorites to bo married to a negross, that Eugenie might witness the Mo hammedan ceremony. His gilt of diamonds to Gen. Hhermnu’s daugh ter was simply a well put bribe to touch the grosser sensibilities of the American people. Money is Ills chief weapon, disbursed often at the ex pense of famine-stricken provinces, and great masses of population suf fering from all kinds of oppression. He is. however, in good condition forexeeutlng his designs. His finances are prosperous; his American and English subordinates have shown themselves to bo competent explor ers, engineers, and territorial Gov ernors ; ami he deserves and will have, notwithstanding his many faults, the encouragement, of the civilized word. His schemes of conquest cannot fail to have a good result. They will lead to the development of an immense territory, aud bring a barbarous pop ulation of many millions in contact, with influences more or loss civilizing. Keely’* Own Account of Ills Marvellous Invent lon. Prom an futervfew lu tile Inler-Oeean.J Mr. Keely It’s most wonderful. A most woddorful tiling. 1 can hardly myself see how it was I came to dis cover it. It. seemed to burst right upon me. No amount, of study could have produced it. It is purely a dis covery. Reporter—And it was made while simply experimenting with water? Mr. Keely Yes. There was no fire about, and I had no chemicals of any kind. Reporter What does it seem to be? Mr. Keely It is simply a vapor of so Hue an order that it. will penetrate metal. It is lighter than hydrogen, and more powerful than steam or | any explosives known. When it ooines in contact with the air it al most instantaneously disappears. If there is a large quantity lot out into j tin- uir suddenly it seems to draw tho atmosphere toward it us if a vacuum iiml been produced. I remember on I one occasion I put too great pressure |in the receiver, and it exploded, throwing tho pieces and a largo sized stop cock up through the ceiling. My breath, it secnul, was taken for the moment. Reporter- Mr. Keely, will you state j some of your experience witli the | machine you now have,-or the one you have been experimenting with? Mr. Keely Well, I liurdly kuuw how to begin. It would take a week to tell you all it has done. At, first I experimented with small ohjoots. Gradually Increasing the pressure, I found this vapor was capable of ex erting power infinitely. You must remember that it takes nothing hut uir and water to do this, and very lit tle or the latter. As an instance of this I will state that I once drove an engine mukiug .800 revolutions a minute, of forty-horse power, with less than a thimbleful of water, and kept it running fifteen days with the same water by dissipating tho vapor as fast, as used. Tho va|lor is exceed ingly line. In due time I produced a pressure of about 28,000 pounds to tho square inch in a shell ( the receiver! which had a capacity of a gallon and a half, 3i inches thick. Thy pressure was so great, that the vapor passed through the three inches and a half of metal, and formed a damp circle On tho Hour, with a radius or t breo feet. I used a half pint of water. On all ot,tier occasion, in company witli sev eral utiiera, J experimented with a gun. The target was a fourduoh plunk, placed against a steel (date. The best Government powder drove a ball through the plank. The dia | tanee was about eight feet. My va : por threw the ball with suck tremend ous force that, it, went through tho | plank and steel, tearing the bullet in shreds. Reporter Would it he serviceable in the army? Mr. Keely- Oh yes. All that would be needed is a small iron receiver, about the size of an orange, attached to the gun: The flower would last through the longest battle. -We shot forty-three rounds in this instance, j and there was no apparent diminu tion in the force. Reporter How about, tho Pullman | ears, Mr. Keely? Mr. Keely—Well, I propose in about six months to run n train of I thirty cars from here to New York, at the rate of a mile a minute, with one small engine. And I will draw the power all out of as much water as you can hold in the palm of your hand. Why, people have no idea of tho power in water, I mean that can be drawn outof it. A bucket of water contains enough of this vapor to pro duce a power sufficient to move the world out of its course. An ordinary steamship can he run so fast with it that it would be split in two. Dur ing the Centennial we propose to run a ' train of three curs around the grounds all the time, and a large purt of the machinery. The vapor, too, is capable of causing much amusement. I have time and again created art illcial snow storms in rnyi shop. This can be produced witli no labor or trouble. The tube through which the vapor passes is frequently covered with ieo on the exterior, al t hough tho passage for the vapor is not larger than a needle. You could not hold your hand on it without be ing frozen. • • Faithless Miss Mattie.— Married at tiie residence of the bride’s mo ther, on Wednesday, June 23, at six ! o’clock, a. m„ Mr. Andy Crabb to Miss Mattie Rowland, both of this county.

Tho subject of our relations with Venezuela was laid before tho counsel of Socrotary Fish yesterday, who road the latest communications from our minister to that country and stated the gen eral facts in tho ease. It. may bo recollected that In De cember, 1872, the President an nounced that the Government of Venezuela had made no further pay ments on account of tho awards un der tho convention of 18(11, and ex pressed tho hopo that it would lose no' time in providing for the unpaid balances of its debt to the United States, which, having originated in injuries to our citizens by Venezuela authorities, and having been ac knowledged pursuant to a treaty in the most solemn form among tho nations, would, the President said, seem to deserve u preference over other debts of a different origin, con tracted in a different manner, and he recommended this subject to the at tention of Congress for such action as might bo deemed proper. In pursuance of this recommenda tion Congress, in a joint resolution, expressed its sense in regard to awards of the joint commission un der the convention, and the Veneu zuola government was furnished with a copy of the resolution which ex cluded all doubt of the earnestness of our Government In its demand for tho payment of tho amount duo, but there was no satisfactory response on tho part of Venozuola. In 1873 tho President, in his annual messugo to Congress, said it is apprehended that tho Government does not realize the character of its obligation under that convention. As there is reason to be lieve, however, that its hesitancy in recognizing them springs, in part at least, from real difficulty in discour aging him in connection with Its ob ligation to other Governments, the oxpodieneey of further forbearance on our part is believed to be worthy of your consideration. Since then our minister to Venezuela has been re peatedly instructed to urge the pay ment of the deferred installments, until at last the Venezuela Govern ment has expressed a disposition to do so, but claims the special privilege of designating the particular parties to whom tho monoy shall be paid. To this our Government will not consent, the proposition, apart from other considerations, being contrary to the terms of the Convention. Tlio Vene zuela Government will be informed of the rejection of its proposition and unless the money shall be paid as tho stipulation requires, our Minis ters to Venezuela will be probably withdrawn. An extraordinary council of Cabi net mombers having been called by Secretary Fish, they met yesterday at the Department of State, continuing in session about tlirco hours. All were present exeeptiSecretnry Belk nap, who is absent in the West. TLKltlltr.i: DHASTEIt. A PORTION OF A HOTEL FALLS, KILLING TWO AND IN.IURINO THE SAME NUMBER OF PERSONS.

Tho negro man was first rescuod, considerably bruised. His escape from instant death is simply miracu lous. The next was Mr. Harris, the extent of whose injuries will not bo known until reaction takes place. Ho was in tho third story. Mrs. Brown and tho negro child were kill ed outright. Tlio building was occupied as a boarding house, F. M. Hiokens, pro prietor. A complete wreck was made of half of the rear of the building. The cause of tho disaster was the outside wall crumbling, being a most miserably constructed affair of machine pressed brick. The disaster caused the most intonso excitement.

If one Krain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the cow's udder aud kept dry for years, then raoie teuod, aud the keeuet point of a Lancet dipped in it and drawn gently on the arm, so as not to draw tho blood, will bo impregnate aud change tho entire Hyatem as to prevent tho party bo vac cinated from taking tho most loathsome of dis* oases (small pox) for au entire life; again, if the Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin habitable malarial district into a healthy, s4u brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at mosphere tho poison malaria, why will not tho proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and destroy tlio poison, known as malaria, and thus enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with impunity? We claim that there is such a remedy, and that wo have prepared it, aud applied it, and proved it iu our Anti-malarial or Eucbywial Relt—aud that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit the worst malarial districts without the fear of having any diseases arising from malaria; snch as Chills and Fever, Billious or Intermittent Fever, Yellow Fever, Jaundico, Enlarged Liver aud Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem orrhoids, aud that it will cure all tho abovo dis eases, except the worst cases of Billious and Yel low Fever. This is called an Anti-malarial or Eucbymial Belt, as it corrects the humors of the uody and produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys tem, aud thus euabliug it to per.orm its various duties without fearing tho effects of maiaria iu the least. It has been tried iu thousands of cases without a failure. They can bo obtained from the proprietors in any quantity at the Powell Building, Junction of Broad and Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ua. Price for a single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran tee that it will cure or the money refunded. N.B.— None genuine without the trade mark is stumped upon them. Drs.

Wishing everybody that may be so unfortunate as to have Chills and Fever may be fortunate enough to get one of your Belts, I am, respectfully, etc., W. J. Wilson. Atlanta, Ga., Juno 3,1870. Dns.
