The election held recently in that State has been in favor of Senor Serna, who is said to be a good friend of the South and an admirer of her institutions. Col. Ford received, the day before yesterday, a communication from a Mexican official, informing him that there had been disturbances on the river above this. He immediately ordered Capt. Littleton to take a detachment of men and make reconnaissance in the vicinity of Edinburgh and the settlements above it. It is believed here that the party mentioned is commanded by Theodoris Tamora, the second in command to Cortina. He was, about twelve days since, at the Mesa Rancho, forty-five or fifty miles above Matamoras, and on the main road to Camargo, and had about forty men. The marauder, Cortina, is said to have one hundred thousand dollars furnished him by an agent of Lincoln.
