of the guard tent by sundry parties — save your correspondent. Preparations are being made for our early departure, and it is thought that by Tuesday next we will be en route for a place where, besides hot shell and ball from 10-inch Columbiads, sent us by Old Abe's mercenaries, (which we promise to return with compound interest,) we shall have fish, oysters, and all the delicacies of the season, with the advantage of a fine sea breeze. We are all anxious to join the detachment of the Howitzers now on active duty, under command of the gallant Captain Brown. As I write this, about twelve hundred troops are passing here, destined for a post of duty and danger. Three cheers for the gallant boys! We are indebted to the kind citizens for many things sent us; especially to the fair ladies, for many delicacies and beautiful bouquets. Their names shall long be remembered.

Later from the Rio Grande. --Another Cortina Raid.--The Fort Brown (Brownsville) Flag, of the 9th inst., says: Positive information has been received of the raising of a large force under Cortina, for the purpose of invading our territory, and making war, it is asserted, in the name of the United States, upon Texas. This news came by express from Ringgold Barracks, through information furnished by Mexicans to Col. H. Clay Davis. Since the receipt of the foregoing, it has been reported that Gen.
