PROCLAMATION OF THE MEXICAN GENERAL TRIAs.
Judge Hopkins and Mr.. Daguerre arrived at
San Antonio, Texas, on the Sd instant from Fl
Paso, making the trip in twentysix days.
The San Antonio Ledger of the 9th instant
contains the following items of news:
The up mail train was met On the 23d ult at
Live Oak Springs. Smith and Halls trains
were met on the 18th. Two days previous they
had been attacked by either Apache or Musca-
lero Indians, who succeeded in stampeding sixty
five animals, among which were some very fine
American horses. Mr. Crosby lost very fine
horse by this attack. Tullis' train was met on
Sabnal, on the 3lst ult. Wentworth, with his
drove of cattle, had reached the Rio Grande
They met Bennett and wife and Mitchell on the
1lth, at Eagle Spring. This party, we believe,
are from the Brazos. They were all we'll, and
had met with no accident. On the 10Th, they
met Ned Hollis party on the way to Preside del
Norte, near Esoondido Springs
From the intelligence received by this arrival,
there is just grounds for fearing troublesome
times at Ell Paso. The action of Governor Lane
| in regard to Mesilla territory, has got up con-
| siderable excitement and ill-feeling, which will
be very apt, owing to the unprotected condition
of the American side of the river, to lead to se-
rious difficulties. Gen Trias, with seven hun
| dred troops, and dozen or more pieces of ar
tillery, were quartered at Ell Paso A portion
| Of his troops are ruthless savages, armed with
their usual implements of warfare-the bow
and arrow. Should these get to drinking, no
power can control them, and the result will be
depredations and outrages upon our settle
ments. The citizens of NcGovinsville are in
constant dread of incursons from the Ell Pasc
| side. About one hundred Indians are incorpo.
rated in the regular army at that place, which
| increases the force to some seven hundred A
general feeling Of insecurity pervades that sec
tion of country. There have been some massa
crcs Of Mexicans.
The following is the Proclamation of the Gen
eral-in Chief of the Trails Brigade to his sub
ordinstes:
FelioU- Soidiers-Know that the Governs
Of New Mexico has declared that the colon
De In Mesila,' which is situated on Mexica
territory, belongs to the United States.
This act, which he intends to accomplish
even by force, is an outrage upon the honor o
the Republic, and which must not be tolerated
by Mexicans.
My desire is, by every peaceable measur,
compatible with honor, to avoid collision, but /
the Governor of New Mexico, regardless of tn,
rights reserved to the people by the Constitu
tion of the United States, should persist, it il
your duty to resist; and sacrifice yourselves i
necessary in the defence of your country.
Felow-soldiers, l am satisfied that prompt
ness OF action and discipline are the guarantee
OF victory; therefore, show an immutable reso
luton, and you will conquer your enemies. L
is certain that we shall triumph.
Live free, or die, is the only alternative lef
us; and am proud with the belief that ther,
is not single Mexican who does not prefer
glorious death to life of infamous slavery.
After victory, you may expect the benedic
ti9ns of your fellow citizens and the thanks o
your country.
But should you be conquered, you will ever,
where meet with humiliation and affronts, an,
, lead miserable life.
Many of your fellow-citizens are disposed t
revenge you, should you succumb, or partici
pate in your victory.
The wants and miseries you may undergo, il
, consequence of the event, should not arres
your determination
Fellow soldiers. depend that, in your priva
; tions and dangers, you will always have b
your side your companion and friend,
, ANGEL TRIAs.
