In the meantime the forries leading from Brownsville to Matamoras were put under military surveillance, and communication between the right and left bank of the Rio Grande could only be had by written passports from Lieut. Col. Buchel, of Fort Brown, and from the authorities of Matamoras. Sentinels were stationed on the boats, and the line of communication was entirely broken, as the prudence of Lieut. Colonel Buchel dictated that but few of our citizens should be permitted to mingle in tiver at a late hour last night. It is stated that considerable carnage has taken place on both sides, and that the Rojas have applied to Lieut-Col. Buchel, for privilege to bring their wounded on this side of the Rio Grande Col. Buchel, Major Gray and other officers of Fort Brown have acted with the greatest discretion during the continuance of the fight, and so far no bad blood has been stirred up on our side. Both parties claim the chances of success at the hour of going to press.

Gen. Caravajal, as our readers will remember, appeared in front of Matamoras at the head of the State troops, on Wednesday the 15th inst., and the people of the town at once raised the black flag, with an inscription upon it that no communication would be held with the assailants. Caravajal then pitched his camp at a farm about five miles from Matamoras, and set about perfecting his plan of attack and drilling and arming his forces. On Friday, Gen. Garcia, who was supposed to be in Tampico, suddenly marched into Matamoras at the head of a troop variously estimated at from 150 to 600 cavalry. His presence seemed to infuse confidence at once, for the population, which was flying to this side of the river, at once set back to Matamoras; and the people in the city began fortifying the city in the most secure manner. Barricades were built across the streets leading out of the main plaza, or public square, and forts were hastily thrown up at many places three or four squares

The contester approached so near the river that their death-dealin
