BOIdness of the Raids.
WASHINGTON, October 10.-COlone. .Robb,
of Georgia, and Mr.. Savage. of CaItornla,
two of the commissioners appointd by the
President to take testimony rel@iVe to the
depredations on the Rio Grande having re-
turned to Washington to-daH called upon
President Grant and had aIong interview
with him.
The President was mucl interested in the
narrative of the gentlanen, who will pre-
pare formal report Tor TRANSMISSION TO
Congress-. and was evidently gratlfed with
the manner they transacted the business
with which they were instituted: Ihe IN
cursions by aimed Mexican bands INTO
Texas are numerous, and have continued
ever since 1859.
Thev have since that time driven horses
and cStte, estimated to be worth several
millior5 of dollars, from Texas ranches
across the river into Mexico, where their
plIader is sold to soldiers and citizens.
General Cortina, who is not at present in
active service, but on waiting orders, is re-
presented to be one of the most active in
stigat0rs of the incursions, by which he
largly profits. Texans, while epdeavOring
to drive away the thieves, are sometimes
killed by superior numbers 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 consider
ing the distance which requires to be
guarded, which is 300 miles from the south
Of the Rio Grande to the extreme American
settlements. The infantry is located at
long intervals. The distance is nearly 300
miles from Fort Brown to Ringgold bar
racks, with only one camp intervening.
Some sufferers by the Mexican raids tray
eled 200 miles to give their testimony, and
expressed their qualification that. pr44lia1, n
mary measures had been taken not only 20
protect, but to indemnify them for losses.
General McCook corroborates the state ~
ments as to the boldness with ThlGn tue
raids are made, and testified az to MS IN
ability, with an insufficient force, to give
the required protection I4er9 is no bi4 r9a-

SENATOR KELLOGG'S SPEECH
WARM EXPRESSIONS OF APPROVAL
Especial to the New Orleans Republican,
CLINroN, La. October 10. l872.


The meeting here to-day was a splendid
one. 1t rained during the early part of the
day, but the weather was clear and fine all
the afternoon. The band came from Port
Hudson, where the Frazer lies.
Senator Kellogg, Judge Hawkins Colonel
Lowell and Mr.. Darral arrived about
noon. The stand was erected in the court
house square. All admit that the attendance
was much larger than at any meeting held
here for years. There were at least 5000
persons present, quite large proportion Of
whom were white. There is a large Liberal
element here, but it is mostly favorable to
our State ticket.
Senator Kellogg spoke first about two
hours, followed by Colonel Lowell and
Judge Hawkins. Senator KeHogg's speech
was one of the best that he has made dur
ing the campaign.
The colored people were delighted, and
the white people were open in their express
sions of warm approval. Many of them
openly said he is the man for our next Gov
ernor, and his election will place the State,
now that Grants election is certain, in
close and friendly relations with the fed
eral government
While am writing crowds of people are
sending up cheer after cheer.

During the last four or five months the
subject of General Grants horses and
stables has been, TOR want OF any more
substantial ground of complaint against
him, the source of frequent attacks: and
comment in the Democratic and Liberal
organs. In recent conversation on that
point with Representatives. the ReP"0-
dcan the President said: The World has
declared during the summer that l had
seven horses, every one of which was worth.
Sl0,OOO-and all Of them able to travel a
mile in three lhfnU tes. Now, if / needed
$4,000 very much l do not believe that
could get it upon short notice for all of
them. So far from it being true that they
can all 90 a mile iu three minutes, only one
of them can do it in less than five. One
might possibly make mile in four, but
have never tried it,"

The Baton Rouge Grand Era makes men
ton of the difficulties Of registration in that
section Of the State:
Planters and 1aborers are complaining on
account Of the delay in gathering the crop,
owing to the fact that SO many laborers are
away from the crops attending the registra
ton. 1t is not the fault of the colored men,
for they would gladly secure their reegiistra-
ton papers and go home to their labors.
But as it is impossible for them to accom-
plish this, they have been compelled to re-
main away from their crops, many OF them,
for over a week. Hundreds OF colored men
have been in daily attendance at the regis
tration Office, but as yet they have not sdc-
ceeded in obtaining their papers.

The New York Herald has this Russian
intelligence;
BY advices from Calcutta we are in
formed that Russian troops were advancing
on khiva and Kandar on the twenty
seventh of August, and that the soldiers Of
the Gar had previously occupied Urgenj
and razcd it to the ground. There are two
towns named Urgenj in the dominion of the
Khan of Khiva. One is situated on the
ba8ks of canal near the Oxus; the other
some miles northwest Of Khiva. The first
enjoyed great commercial Importance at one
period, and is no doubt the objective point
of the present march of the soldiers Of the
northern Emperor, The movement is Of
very great Importance, Russia wishes, it
may be, to seize the great Eastern hive of
manufacture for silk, cotton and yarn, and
thus become, to very great extent, indie
pendent of the looms of France and Eng
land, besides obtaining a good strategje
foothold for her armies in the event Of a
war clash with the powers of Britain in the
East.

From the Union and American of Saturday
Yesterday Colonel John L. Moses, secre-
tary and treasurer, paid into the State treas
ury 234 State bonds OF $1,000 denomination
each, on the purchases Of the Knoxville

due as the second instaIlment on the Knox
vile and Kentucky railroad for the present
year, the excess being on the second INSTALL
ment due October 5, 1873. The first pay
ment of $S7 800 was made at the time of
purchase. On this road no installment is
due by the term Of sale until October, 1873,
at which time falls due the other, which,
with sthe last instaIlment for 1874 will be
SI03, 800 This amount it is said, the pur
chasers intend paying within three months.
The SIS, 900 yesterday paid on the purchase
of the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap and

made, the first, which was the same in
amount as the above, having been made at
the time of sale, as required by law, and
being ne-fourth the sum agreed to be given.
These roads will be extended at no distant
day, and are destined to form important
connections and serve as valuable links in
routes now being projected.
