McKenzie'S Raid.


SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, May 26.-Nothing
extraordinary has transpired since the raid.
Mckenzie reached Fort Clark with his COM
mand and prisoners last Wednesday. The prso-
ners were forwarded to San Antonio on Thurs
day, guarded by company, and will probably
arrive to-day The excitement on the Mexican
side is great, and when the news was received
of McKenze's movements the population was
very indignant. A large force was organized
and couriers sent to the interior towns calling
for volunteers to intercept Mckenzie, but he
was too quick for them, and recrossed the river
safely.
The guide reports that the Indians are as
sembliDg on the bank vowing destruction to
the residents on the Texas side, and notifying
Mexicans living on the Texas side to vacate
their ranches and cross the river lest they be
murdered among those to be attacked. 1t is
also reported that the Lipan Indians, from the
Remalno reservation, are assembling 300 strong
contiguous to the Rio Grande ostensibly for
treaty purposes with the Mexicans, but the in
ference on this side is widely different.
The settlers in the most exposed localities
are removing their families Troops are now
stationed at the most important crossings.

TWO INDUSTRIES THAT WILL IAf.-lhcTe
have been large fortunes acquired since the
war by packers Of fruits and vegetables. The
tomato grown in this section is far superior 10
flavor and natural sweetness to that raised north
of the Potomac. Then there is green corn. We
have seen the grounds aud establishment of o
packer at Monoccacy Bridge, in Maryland, aud
which has been started since the war, which now
employs 500 hands! But we believe the great
paving enterprise to be large fertillzing manu-
featuring company. We have as basis the
rich mari beds of the Potomac and Raapahan-
mock, that can be worked cheaply, can be
brought here and ground, and with other ad
