The affair at the mouth of the Rio Grande was highly brilliant, glorious, and gratifying, and adds another bright chaplet to the brows of our Texas boys–we mean the capturing of those notorious traitors and renegades Judge E. J. Davis, (now a Federal Colonel) and the equally traitorous Montgomery, late of Lockhart, who immediately “went up a tree.” What a great pity Davis had not been sent up at the same time. The particulars will be found in another column.
We learn that Davis has since been surrendered on demand of the Mexican authorities.
