Heavy suit for damages against Cortina.

--We learn from the Rio Grande Sentinel that a civil suit has been brought against the notorious Juan N. Cortina by Robert S. Shears, in which the latter claims $30,000 damages for injuries sustained in being shot and wounded in Brownsville by the Mexican ‘"filibuster,"’ during the troubles on the Rio Grande a year ago.
