viewing l.ewes. in this State speaks thus OF
the sand hills there An interesting geologi-
cal feature Of this region is the remarkable
action Of the wind in producing dunes, or
travelling sand hills, at Cape lIenlopen. One
of the most striking objects in approaching
from the sea is the singular barren expanse of
white Sand which rises into IL long ridge back
of the common low sand-hillS of the beach
This is a great travelling windmill steadily
moving in land AN overwhelming everything
in its path, certain and irresistible as fate. A
vast mass of sand, brought down by the Della
ware River, is cast up hy the waves on the
exposed cape, and then taken in charge by the
winds and horne inland. The mode in which
such hills travel is thus: the slope is exce,alll
gentle on the wndward side ana steep on til"
leeward The sand is blown upward alon.

MEXICAN THIEVES.
Report from the Border Commissioners
Of the State Of Affairs on the
Texan Border.
Formidable Bands Of Thieves RaTaging
the Country.

BROWNSVILLE, September lS.-The Border
Commissioners have returned from a trip up
the river. Important evidence was received
at Rio Grande city regarding depredanons
committed in Starr county.
The Commissioners report that during their
voyage upward, Mexican cattle-thieves were
discovered in the act Of crossing herd OF
stolen cattle. The thieves being IN eOnsidera-
bic force, recovery was impossible without
troops
Large quantities of hides Of stolen cattle
were found at Camargo, Mexico.
A bad condition of affairs exists all along
the Texan border. On the downward voyage
the Commissioners saw large quantities of
snuggled goods on the Texas bank, and SNUG
glers, with small boats, we're on both banks.
The continued murders and thefts, together
with the defiant attitude Of the Mexicansi
produce'a feeling Of insecurity.
The Mexicans still utter bitter threats
against all witnesses before the Commission,
and il is feared that murders viii ensue. The
early action OF Congress is looked to as the
only means OF remedying the condition Of
things, which have grown intOlerable.
