Mexican Frontier.
rrrom the San Au,o.io CTexa,) HsraId I

The deaths of the young men, Pullman and Evans, call loudly for retribution- caused, as they have been, by the bold and audacious outlawry by the cattle thieves on that border, and the rccurrences of such out lawry becoming of daily frequency can no longer be borne. The tocsin Is being sound ed-good and true men are called to the rally. See that you arc properly armed and rationed, and that you have discrcct men. These are the requisites to the recovery of your cattle. We publish the following letter from a frontiersman, Mir. Pat Dclan, to NIT. W. c. Adams, which speaks to the point:
 FoRr CLARK, October $, 1873.
 MR. W. c. ADAMs--Dear Sir: I came up here, and have been making enquiries about the New Town affair. Felipe Luna told me that he was there, and saw the beginning of it. The Aicaide fired out of his window on the Americans the very first thing, and from that it became general It appears that the boys fnund two of your horses and two of Mir. Strickland's in New Town, and demanded them Mir. Strickland tells me. positively, that three days ago the Mexicans fired on two of his hands who were gathering cattle along the Rio Grande, and four Mexicans crossed to this side and chased them for some dis tance. He also tells me that the Mexicans had gathered 100 head of large cattle and crossed them the day before yesterday. All the above can be proved to he true.
 It is reported that the Mexicans burned Strckla ranch at the mouth of the Syc- amore.
 See all the men you can get from the Atas- coso country. and try and get . lot of them to meet in Cvalde to go west. Use every exertion.
 Find out the names of some good men, so can let them know what time to start. There is no time set yet. Let me know how many men you think we can get.
 Yours truly, Par DoLiS.
