have managed their affairs their own way,
having the command under Communicate
General Castro, a, the North, aud Govern.
or PIco, OF the South. In The mean time
the Wild Indians are carrying off for food,
almost all the horses on the farms. They
prefer horse meat TO the meat Of bullock.
Travelling IN some parts Of this department
has become dangerous, the ladlans with
lheir arrows having shot several people
they net single and uRafmed. Month after

their interests that the Yankees should take
possession, or best for their patriotism that
the Mexican flag, without her laws, should
