Cortina and His Thieves Pav- ing the Way for War. Murders, Outrages, Robberies and Insults by Mexican Authorities. THE CIVIL V8. THE MILITARY AUTHORITIES General Hatch, of the Army, In- dicted for Murder. BROWNESVILLE, Texas, July 3, 1875. Our relations with the sister Republic of Mex- foo has,ever since the French invasion, been such that it has required tne most licate | diplomacy on tbe part of our government to avoid &n open rupture with that country and waras & comsequence. ‘I'he moral support given the Juarez goverpment, in its efforts to drive the troops of Louis Napoleon out of Mexico, whither they were despatched to seat Maximilian as the sovereign, has, in@ great measure, obliterated the feeling of hostility engendered against this government by the war of 1847-8, Still, there is a class of semi-barbarians tn Northern Mexico who, traitors to their own constitutionally orgauizea govern- tnem, are never at rest unless they are precipl- -tating @ revolution or pillaging the unprotected residents along the northern borders of the Rio Grande, Every old reader ef the HrRaLp will re- call the numerous raids made into Texas by the ROBBER CHIRPS OF NORTHERN MBXICO since 1867; tue murder of ranchers, tue pillaging of stores and the sacking of towns; but few, per- haps, have any adequate idea of the anarchy that really exists there. A few Gays ago we nad tne intelligence of the arrest by the Mexican autnor- ities of General Cortina, the freebooter and leader ofthe Mexican canaille in the North, This may serve as a temporary cbeck upon the men who follow his lawless lead; butif half the reports coming from very authentic sources be true there seems to be a necessity for our government tak- ing \tkrough tne State Department very strong means to give Americans on the border pro- tection and peare. Last spring a permanent committee:of residents of Browusville and other border towns was.formed with instruetioms to prepare a iull report of the wrievances of the border residents and for- ward it to the Secretary of State a8 an an- swer to the xisrepresentations alieged towave been made by Seflor Mariscal, Mex‘can Mintster at Washington. This committee, whose respec- tability and Qucilities for speaking accurately are vouched for, py army officers resident at Fort Brown, have’ just made their report, which has been forwarded to Wastington. WWe are enabled to lay before our readers an advanced copy, | shorn m some places, however, of matter not very important. Tae committee opens by reviewing the alleged causes of complaint on the part of the Mexicans against the people on this-part of the Rio Grande, ta the encouragement of filbuster- ing. They>cover the Texas revolution of 1836, the war of 1845-9, the revolution headed by General J. M. J. Carvajal in 1850-51, known as the revolu_ | uon of H1 Plande la Loba, and pretty clearly slow tha.t tne United States hasWwerygenerally observed; ner treaty obligations relative to the border. After referring. to the peace thae suc” ceeded ‘this revolution of 1850-5i the commitéee take up! THE CORTINA RAID OF 1859. But tlds period of peace and prosperity, says ‘the coimittee, was destined in the year 1859 to” -come te a close In consequence of an insurrection 1m Cameron and the adjacent counties, generally known as “the Cortina raid.’’? We now proceed to give a brief bistory of this affair, which is taken | almosc literally irom official documents, such as the measages of Governor Housten, the reports of the Cowmissioners Taylor and Navarro, sent here by Governor Houston to investigate its origin, the official reports of Major 8. P. Heintzelman, United States Army; Hon. Stephen Powers, Mayor ot Brownsville, and @ mass of other testimony pre- seated to Congress at that time. By General Orders No, 1, dated Headquarters, ‘Department of texas, February 5, 186%. General ‘wiggs, then commanding the department, or- «ered that the post of Fort Brown (Brownsville), ‘Ringgold Barracks (Rio Grande City), Fort McIn- tosn (Laredo), as well .as Forts Mason and Mc- { Kavitt, higher up tue frontier, should be apan- +! doned, and the troops thereat removed hundreds of mul distant. Tne whole irontier be- } tween e Rio Grande and the Nueces was ripped, im accordance with this order, of all protection and lett exposed to the lawiess and vurbulewt Who always seek the frontiers tor im- punity aud for ng Sno td to plunder that are j. Rot efforded in better regulated societies, ‘The | Deople in public meesings and their representa- tives In the Legisiature protested in vain agmanst | this suicidal order. Their worst fears and pbredic- | Mons were soon realized. On tke 28tn of September, 1859, Juan N. Cortina, ® bold and turoulent man, WHO was under ind.ct- ment in Cameron county for murder, at the head of an armed body of Mexicans, numbering about 100, entered tne city of Brownsvilie about three o’clock In the morning, while the whole popula. ton was yet asieep, and immediately awakened irom their slumber several innocent citizens, and in the most brutal manner began to shoot them down, and, in several instances, to matilave their persons, 4 band went to the county Jail, MURDERED THE JAILER and released ail the prisoners, some of whom were coufined for murder ang other felonies. And 16 was not until several of tne most influential vensizens Of the neigovoring city of Matamoros ,came across (ge river and interceded with Cortiaa ythat ne was induced to withdraw trom the city; ‘which he finally did, however, but proceeded with his banditti to his ranch, about six miles aistant, w he remained encamped, breathing Vengeance against alt Americans. Here his forces gradually increased uatil they numbered 400 or 600 men—all Mexicans, In October he defeated a body of State troops sent to the frontier b; “the Governor, which greatly elated his fol- lowers anu increased his jorces, He issued two prouunciamentos after the most approved style oi his mother country, claiming to be under the dive protection of sovereign majesty. ‘the people of Brownsville were reduced to the shame and extremity, in their abandoned condition, of «seeking protection trom a foreign government, and a body of troups crossed irom Matamorus un- der the Immediate command of General Carvajal, the chief of tue revolution of La Lova, for. their protection, This whole section was @ scene of coniusion and vyioleace, tre bandits of Cortina dominating all the surrounding country for “Ta0n tbs, stopping and qpening the mails, makiug prisoners of travelers, and keeping Brownsville in @ state of siege, his lorces daily Increasing in numbers. Tse wWhoe frouuer was laid wWaate vevery ranch owped by Americans being burned sand destroyed. At length a force of United States “troops arrived near the scene o. the conflict, uu- der command of Major 8. /, Heintzelmau, which, with the State troops, organized and pisced under command of Major Fora, soon drove the bandit chiel up the Rio Grande to Kio Grande City, where he was overtaken and couipleteiy routed and driven across tie Kio Grande. INA BECOMES GOVERNOR AND GENERAL. ®The unexpected boldness dispiayed by Cortina in his raid upon vrownsviile soon imade lim one of ‘he moat feared, power:ul and influential leaders On the Mexicano frontier, and in a very short period he rose to the position of Governor of the heighvoring Mexican State of Tamaulipas and to the grade of brigadier genera in the Mexican army. AU the present time he 14 the Presigent of toe Ayuntamiento of tae leimiboring Moros, the metropolis o1 this front trol fronuer is abso} tie luerastve cot- ton trade, upon which the Mexican frontier town had grown rich, and with tke withdrawal of Frencu troops trom Mexico, large vodies of mi | Who nad been treightiag cotton or dgntn | French were turued loose, anu irom this mate | t i \ } }- t i Governor and General Cortina has sarroun himsel! wita a band of followers devoted to B personal interest and ambition; aud we charge that tuis band of desperadoes aud adyentarer wince the close Of cur war, has oeen supporte and malutaioed atthe cost of the stock raisers between the Nuec fo support this of the United appointea Of testimony to the eifect new oa Hig before the Mixed Commission in the MaGy Citims ior damages againss Mexico ar jug {rom she Suis, of General tin renter, ‘The Witnertes Whose evidence is pre BOntOd La thane Uficial reports are cumeere® by 4 on triad | the bundreds, they are men of g00d repute, Mf any credence is \ be given to human testimony, ta array of facts presented in taese oMcial ree- ords must be regaraed as proven beyond the pos- BIDILy of doubt. NEW OUTRAGES. But, since the report of the Commissioners to ‘Texas was maac to the Secretary of Slate and laid before Congress, new and swafthog outrages have heen perpetrated, which we Low proceed to notive :— ‘irst—During the months of March and April, Alverto Garza, & notorious outlaw frou Guerrero, Mexico, with a party vo! cattle thteves, crossed te this sige of the Kio Grande and located himseil near Piedras Pintas, tn Daval county, in the neighborhocd of which there are dense thickets, affording means of concealment, where be engaged reguiariy and systematically 10 killing and sxluming cattle. On the loth of April he offere 200 hides jor sale at Piedras Pincas thas had just been taken from the cattle on tho Tange; and it was not until the owners of the cattle collected la jorce tuat ne retreated to Biexico. . Second—On the 8th day of June, 1875, the United Staies Custom House, or Deputy Coliector’s office, at Carrio, in Zapate county, was robved by a party of Mexicans, Third—On the sta of July, 1873, Dr, J. OC. Orocker was murdered and robbed by an organized band of Mexicans, about fifteen iniles west of Captain King’s raucn, in Nueces county, Fourth—On tue 7th of November, 1873, the store of R, Schuoert, a merchant at Concepoion, in Duval cougty, Was entered by a party of twenty or thirty armed Mexicans, who overpowered Schubert and his cierks aud guttea his store, taking between $2 and $3,000 in money, besides arms, goud: with whick they re- crossed into Mexico at the ranch of Las Cuevas, in the lower edge of Starr county. Fisth—On November 30, 1873, Henry Grey, a son ol EB. N.
