he says it will be made without respect to

payers generally, are glad to hear that the
Council intend to take new departure in
this regard. The City improvements have
been too much aoiM respect to persons and
property. That is what the New Street people
complain of. They send petition after petit
ton to the Council for pavement from the
terminus of the curbing at Miss Baldwin,

Street, and the Council have only funds
sufficient to give them few hundred yards
of pavement stopping at PRICES corner. Yet

Depredations on the Rio Grande.
A Glance Mt tho Work of the. Com.
missIOners.

WASHINGTON, Oct 10.--Colonel Robb of
Georgia and Mr.. Savage of California, two Of
the commissioners appointed by the president
to take testimony relative to depredations on
the Rio Grande, having returned 10 Washington,
to-day called upon President Grant and had a
long interview
The president was much interested in the mar
rative of these gentlemen, who will prepare 4
formal report for transmission TO congress; and
he was evidently gratified with the manner in
which they transacted the business with which
they were entrusted.
The ncursons by armed Mexican bands into
Texas are numerous, and have continued ever
since 1859. They have since that time driven
cattle, estimated worth several millions of dol
lars, from Texas across the river into Mexico,
where their plunder is sold 10 soldiers and
citizens.
Gen. Cortina, who is not at present in active
military service, but on waiting orders, is rep
resented to be one of the most active inStigato.S
of the incursions, by which he largely profits.
Texans, while endeavOrng to drive away the
thieves, are sometimes killed by superior num-
bers of the Mexican bands, while occasionally
the latter suffer in like manner. Owing TO these
frequent incurSiOns, the border continues in
state OF excitement. There is only one company
of cavalry on the frontier, which is of
little use, considering the distance which
requires TO be guarded, it being 500
miles from the mouth of the Rio Grande to the
extreme American settlement. The infantry is
located at long intervals. The distance is near
ly 300 miles from Fort Brown to Ringgold bar
racks, with only one camp intervening.
Some OF the sufferers by the Mexican raids
Travelled 200 miles to give their testimony, and
expressed their qualification that preliminary
measures have been taken, not only to protect
but to indemnify them for their losses.
Gen. McCook, commanding on the Rio Grande,
cOrroborates the statements of the witnesses as
to the boldness with which raids are made and
testified as to his inability, with his insufficient
lorce,sto give the required protection.
There is reason to believe that the president,
in submitting the report Of the commissioners
to congress, will accompany it with a strong
recommendation that prompt measures be taken
to project our citizens on the border in their
lives and property.

persons were present. There was grand torch
light procession tonight by the democratic clubs

Previous to passing of the procession, Greeley
addressed an immense crowd congregated in
front of Carrollt0n hall, in favor of national re-
Cancellation and the restoration of common
rights to every citizen now deprived of them.
He said: Let us he one people; an American
people, forgetting our differences, deploring our
past calamiteS, and resolved that we shall ever
more be a united and harmonious people. |
beseech you, let nothing discourage you to press
on to that triumph which will certainly be ac-
corded us--if not in the near future, ut a later
day. Our cause is just; let us never doubt, then,
that generous people will accord it, and that
time shall write our memories green, in that
we never despaired Of our country, never de-
Serted and never wished to make one citizen
the enemy of the other, at a time when there
was too much bitterness, but pleaded for peace
and reconciliation. Blessed are the peacemakers.
Let us endeavor to deserve and enjoy that bless
ing. Great cheering)
