New YoRK, Aug. l6.-The Hernld's
Texas correspondent gives some nc
count of the march of Merritt's caval-

Affairs both on the Texan and NIexi-
can sides of the Rio Grande were quiet
at the date of last advices.
Two cOlored soldiers were executed
nj brownsville on the 10Th ult., for out
rnges on females. An entire division
OF the 18th corps, (colored), paraded on
tne occasion and the appearance, dis
cipline and department of the troops
form the theme of enthusiastic COM
mendation on the part of the Texan
ana Mexican spectators, great numbers
OF whom were present.

the Presidents desire to appoint Mr..
King, and accepted it MS an indication
that his resignation would be very nc
ceptable.

for it would then be clear there must be
heavy losses and failures somewhere.
The probable extent of the issue will not
be known until it can be nsccrtaincd
whether anything can be obtained from
