The Matamoras .Ranchero of the sth con
tains the following: Several officers and
men crossed from Clarksville, Texas, and
took up their quarters apparently for the
night. Shortly after midnight the guard at
the ferry along the river were surprised and
disarmed by this party. Such lighters as
were at hand were immediately seized, and
with them they crossed and entered the
town.
The military force at Clarksville was 100
strong, mostly negroes. The garrison of
Bagdad' of about 175 men, were completely
surprised and captured.. The commander
of the post and captain of the post were,
taken prisoners while in bed. It is reported
that the former was killed, but the latter
escaped.
Upon taking the town, a scene of pillage
and plunder was inaugurated. The ware
houses were gutted and the contents taken
across to the American side.
The gunboat Antonio was called upon to
surrender. She answered with a broadside
which scattered the filibusters. A second
demand was made and answered in the
same manner. The Antonio was bound up
'the river. An Austrian sergeant on her
was killed.
The French men-of-war in the harbor,
opened fire, competing the filibusters to
take refuge in the upper part of the town.
At the last accounts the filibusters still
held the town. The deaths are reported to
be thirty-one on each side. It is stated that
the filibusters are commanded by General
Reed.
Gen. Crawford had started from Browns
ville for the scene of action. The last
accounts say that 1,300 Imperialists left
Matamoras to attack the filibusters.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 16.—Four hundred

THE FRKEDMEN IN TEXAS.—The Houston
Telegraph, of late date, gives encouraging
news concerning the disposttion of the
freedmen to enter into contracts for 18136.
No doubt most of this is due to Genera
Gregory's zealous and indefatigable efforts
in traveling among the freedmen for the
last six weeks, and addressing them in
plain terms on their duties as well as their
rights. More than half the freedom on the
plantations in the lower part of the State had
engaged their homes by the 25th ult., and
would be ready to go to work after the holi
days. The Telegraph says the contracts are
various. Some are for h specific monthly
pay, also clothing, food. doctor's bills, an
acre of land, and Saturday afternoons ;
others for specified monthly wages without
anything but board: others for a share of
the crop, and others still on wages now, and
so much a hundred for cotton picking.
Some pay monthly, others quarterly, others
the first quarter's wages at the end of six
months, and balance at the end of the year.
Some furnish clothing and medical attend
ance, and charge it against wages. No
fixed rule was made, and the matter was
left as much as possible to the law of sup
ply and demand. Those who are under
taking the plantations are mostly their
owners, though large farms are being rented
both by Northern and Southern men.
ATTEMPTED CHURCH BURICINU.—OD Sun
day evening an attempt was made to barn
Dr. Hall's church, in Providence, R. I.
After the evening service, and the congrega
tion had withdrawn, the two or three per
sons remaining discovered, just as they
were closing the building, that it was on
fire. One of them thought of the belfry
stairs, where once before an incendiary tire
was kindled, and to that point they pro
ceeded, when up under a door leading to the
bell-deck, which was locked, they found a
compact bundle of rags,held snugly together
by careful stitching, and with two long
trains attached, all saturated with cam
-Iphene or kerosene and the trains burning
slowly up toward the bundle. The intense
smoke emitted by, the burning trains had
penetrated to the lower part of the house
sooner than the incendi :ry expected, and
the wicked scheme to b rn one of the most
beautiful church edifice: in the State was
happily frustrated.
A LITERARY MONO3I NlAC.—One of the
most remarkable of lit.rary lunatics was
John Stewart. commonl known as "Walk
ing Stewart," who died in London in 1822.
Attacked early in life by the mania of
traveling, he soon traversed on foot a great
portion of the globe. He then began to
write books, of which he printed upwards
of twenty at his own expense, which he
distributed cautiously among his friend;
so that they now havelecome rare. They
were chiefly devoted to what he calls " The
Polarization of Moral Truth." He was
haunted with the notion that the Kings of
the earth would one day combine to destroy•
his writings, and so he begged those who
received the precious deposits to envelop
them carefully, and bury them six or eight
feet under ground, being careful to disclose
Only upon their deathbed, under a - pledge

The Otero Murder Case.
The trial of Jose Gonzales y Fernandez
for the murder of Jose Garcia Otero, was
continued yesterday in the Kings county,
Court of Oyer and Terminer, at Brooklyn.
District Attorney Morris opened the case
for the prosecution in an address to the
jury. Judge Gilbert aimed a blow at the
press by issuing an order prohibiting the
publication of the testimony in the case
until after the trial of Pellicier, the accom
pliceof the prisoner. Counsel on both sides
opposed the order, whereupon the Judge re
voked it. Numerous witnesses were ex
amined for the prosecution, establishing a
chain of circumstances that strongly indi
cated the complicity of the prisoner in the
crime charged against him. The case will
be continued this forenoon.—.W. Y. Herald,

COVETS
NMI Pan - s—Justice Read.—The Pennsylvania Rail
road Company et all. Yesterday Mr. Charles Gibbons
commenced his argument in behal , of the complain
ants. Be referred in his opening to the immense array
of talent on the other side, and suggested that a••
great criminal could always secure the services of emi
nent counsel in order by the personal and profes
alonal aid to Influence by their sympathies a
portion of the community. The magnitude of the
interest involved is this controversy, would excuse the
wide range which the discussion had taken. After re
ferring to the struggle for the commerce of the
West, Mr. Gibbons adverted to the history of
the effort In Pennsylvania. commenced as early as
nal, when the State:purchased from the Federal Go;
vernment the Lake Shore coast, and thus secured pos
session of the harbor of Erie. Then commenced the
work of the State, for the purpose of opening
communication between Erie and the Atlantic
porta, especially Philadelphia Turnpikes and Plank
Roads. were first suggested, Wand it was remarka
ble that when the State depended upon therm
alone for her internal commerce, theehips for the port
of Philadelphia traded with every port in the world.
In I= the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company was
incorporated, but notwithstanding the legislation de
signed to benefit the Company, it failed to construct the
read, and finally, under the provisions of the act of
1560. the contract was made with the Pennsylvania R.
Company. which corporation agreed to do that
which Ike citizens.of Philadelphia had failed to do
This mortiag, - before Mr. Gibbons resumed his argu
ment, Mr. Cuyler read a large number of affidavits to
show that the policy of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company bad always been to discriminate In favor of
Philadelphia, and, in doing this, had been engaged in
contests with rival roads, whereby she suffered great
loss until she succeeded in obtatning from the New
York companies a recognition of the right of Phila
delphia to have a reduction in the rate of tolls.
Mr. Gibbons resumed his argument, and answered
the point taken by Mr. Wharton, that the contract he
w ern the Philadelphia and Erie and the Catawissa
Railroad Company carried an easement appurtenant
to the franchise. Admitting that it was such an ease
ment appurtenant, as no franchise passed, there
could be no transfer of the easement The con
tract itself was made at a time when the most
friendly relations existed between the parties.
It was a treaty of peace. It was Impossible
to conceive that if these parties had occupied a hostile
positon in 1860, the Sunbury and Erse Railroad Com
pany would have voluntarily have oelegated any por
tion of their franchises to the Catawissa Railroad
Company. Judge Black had asked why it was, if the
agreement could be made between the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and the Philadelphia and Erie
Railroad Compel y, why 'could not the contract be
tween the Catawlssa and the Atlantic and Great
Western Companes. This question was very
easily answeren. The lease or the Sunbury and
Erie Railroad to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
worked no injury to the Catawissa Railroad Company,
but rather a benefit. but the lease of the Catawissa
Railroad Company to the Atlantic and Great Western
Railroad Company does work a very serious injury to
the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Company. It
transfers to an avowed enemy what was
granted to a friend with the understanding
that it would not be used to our detriment in the con
fidence that it would be used for the mutual benefit of
both the contracting parties; in the confidence that it
would not be disposed of to any corpfration then in
existence, and which might hereafter be created
through these speculators of the Rid , al Exchange.
Mr. Gibbons next discussed the question whether the
&tun hadjurisdiction in this case. He urged that it
was a clear case for the interposition of the Chancellor,
It was not at application for the enforcement of any
forfeiture. All that was asked was that this contract
shall be surrendered to be canceled.
At 12 o'clock Justice Read announced that he had to
Join his brethren in the Supreme Court In consultation,
and the argument was postponed until to-morrow.
