The Ranchero [Corpus Christi, TX], June 2, 1860
The San Antonio Herald publishes the following as the disposition made of the U. S. troops on the Rio Grande frontier:
Light battery M, 2d Artillery, with companies M and L, 1st Artillery, will garrison Fort Brown until further orders; companies C and D, 8th Infantry, will occupy Ringgold Barracks, until the arrival of the three companies of the 3d Infantry ordered to that post; company F, 8th Infantry will continue at Camp McIntosh, near Laredo; company F, 1st Artillery, will remain for the present at or near Eagle Pass; companies F, G, I and H, 2d Cavalry, will occupy the country on the Rio Grande between Brownsville and Ringgold Barracks.
The cavalry companies will select camps where they can best guard the country and procure grass for their horses, and will change them as often as may be required. The senior officer, Captain George Stoneman, will regulate their movements, and give such other directions as the nature and good of the service may demand.
