When Lifutr-niwt-Coloncl Fremantlc, of tho English Coldstream Guards, passed from M it-.imoras over to Brownsville, last year, lie says?in his hook recently reviewed in our columns -tlffiL he was re wdved very pleasantly at the rebel headquarters, where ho found a number of charming gentlemen, who offered him a hearty welcome and unlimited whiskey. He owns that they were a little rough ; they swore a good deal, and they had some other vices?but then (Jolonel Fro mantle is man of the worlds and did not expect to 1iud saints in camp. Among these southern gentlemen, in whoso company he relates that ho spuit soma pleasant days, was one whose name he cautiously represents by a . He was a genial soul, a lit ilo foml of whiskey, and mini what rude in his manners, w hich last mentioned fact was brought to the English officer's attention ty a story free'v t.riked about the headquarters, of w hich Captain was the hero. Colonel Fivmantlo. found this stox\v to atrocious for belief, until the gallant told it t ?hiin with his own exulting lips. it v.ns the history of how and* some otiie* good fellows had caught a loyal Texan officer, ft respectable gentleman, Caption Montgomery, hftd taken liiin as a praouer of war .some miles out of town, and there coolly assassinated him. boasted that it the story was doubted by his English friend he might satisfy himself of its truth, by ft visit to the body, which h id not been buried, but only half covered; but he must go quickly, as the wolves were at it." The same day the Colonel was riding out with a friend, when they came upon the l>ody of Captain Montgomery. They found it siiglitly buried, with the head and arms above ground? the r pe still about the neck, and the other end dangling over the boughs of the tree to which it hud been hanged. Dogs and wolves had been at the bodv. The,En glish colonel was a little shocked at this?but he remarks that these men, though in the main good fellows, are probably not a little hot-tempered. 80 were the mutinous Sepoys, though the reflection dees not appear to have oconred to him. He thinks so well of the rebels that he easily gets over this and other evidences of barbarism. Captain Montgomery was a gallant and loyal Texan, a regularly commissioned officer of the United States forces. H< made his way into Mexico over a 30ul ago, for the purpose of recruiting there some troops for our army among t he large number of American citizens -who had been forced to fly from Texas to save their lives. His business was to gathei 1 * * - 1 .A 1. A. mem togemor uuu irHusput uicm n. New Orleans, where tliev wero to become part of our army. While staying at Matamoras he was captured by a party oi rebels, who invaded the neutral territory of Mexico for the purpose. and was *'loft," as Coloncl Fremantie's friends facetiously put it, iu tho manner he luw described in his pages. A private letter from Brownsville, dated December 14th, tells the remainder ol his sad story: 44 Yesterday, on requisition, Oovenoi Serna arrested and sent to this side a man n uncd Hamilton, charged with ljeirig one oi the assassins of Captaiu Montgomery. (.In Friday a party vent fifteen miles to Vrht-re Captain Montgomery was hung, to bring up his remains, in order to bury Ibein near the flagstaff at this place. They found the bones of his light arm suspended in the fork of the tree from which he was hung, and the rest of his bones (e*:cej-ting lie skull whieli h:ul been carried of}'us a trophy.) buried about a foot deep under the tree. They put tire bones, together ayitli his shoes, which were tied, and contained the .skeleton and mould of his feet, into a sack and brought them to town. On Saturday night I happened to call at Colduel Ik's room (Colonel Ik is a Texan, a neighbor of Captain Montgomery, ami is raising the First Texas regiment for the Corps <V Afrique) and on my questioning him about the remains, without iixst re plying, he drew out the sack from under his cot and roiled out the bones upon the floor. You can well imagine what wore my feelings when I saw what remained of a brave and loyal man?one personally well known lo me, thus suddenly brought beneath my eye." We trust the United Stub-s authorities will look to it that juntie? is done upon the perpetrators of the cold-blooded assassination. They must bo well known among the inhabitants of the border, lor they upjrear to have been given to boasting oi' this and other like deeds. And what can Christain men think of an Kugiish officer?presumably a gent loin** u? who does not scruple to speak of hia pleasant eompanionehip with such ? 'lYiluits. UFOflT, S. C., APE IF 2, 1861.
