A spEcK or WAR

We avail Of the following condensed state
ment, furnished By the Richmond EvAiq Of
the 26th. Of difficulties on the frontier o:
Texas, which may lead to more important re-
suits than have yet been developed It is
stated that the President fully endorses Gen.
Mechanics action, and is Of opinion that the
time has come to deal FIRMLY With the depre-
datofs apon the citizens Of that section of
our cdantry. We think the time has almost
come to take possession Of Mexico, for until
some stable form Of government is there es-
tab!ished, a system Of laws recognised and en-
forced, the people Of the Western frontier
will never have protection. The AIexicaus
| use the indians as caspaws. to steal proper
| ~, while they get the benefit.
| Gen. mckenzie, who commands at 7 ort
Clarke, Texas, has, By a bold assumption Of
responsibility, probably made a direct issue
between the governments OF the United States
aud Mexico. For months past the Lpans
aud Kckapoos have made raids across the
Rio Granue and robbed aud murdered Ameri,
can citizebs at will Their camp was within
the territorial limits of Mexico, aud it il said
that they have been joined by large numbers
Of Mexican maraEders. the cattle stolen by
them have been sold to Mexican rancharos
The frequent and bloody incnrsions OF these
savages have crested great alarm all along
the frontier, ard it appears that Gen. Nc
kenzie at length resolved to follow them to
their camp near the Santa Rosa mountains,
on MEXICAN soil, and strike a blow that would
put stop to their iucursious. Accordingly,
on the 18th instant, he started at the head Of
the Sixth cavalry, six hundred in number,
with trusty guides, crossed the Rio Grande,
aud by forced march of eighty miles Into
Mexico, reached the camp of the savages at
early dawn and made an attack. The Ipdi-
aus, taken by surprise, offered but slight re-
sistance. Many fled to. the mountains
Nineteen of their warriors were killed and
about as many wounded Forty sr:aws
were captured and a hundred horses, tvgeth-
er with much other stolen property, were re-
covered. The loss of the troops was one
killed and two wounded. Gen. Mckenzie re-
crossed the Rio Grande with his prisoners
aud the re7captured property, aud returned
to the fort 1t is said that the troops we're
fred on by Mexicans while re-crossing the
Rio Grande, and that great excitement pre-

the election Of Marshal MacAIahon to the va

known in French political bodies. On Sat

vative guarantees" Thereupon the ministry
sent their designations to NJ. THEIRS. who &C.
cepted them and a message was transmitted
by him to the Assembly resigning the Office
of President. The republicans, amidst great

AUTUMN WINDS.
BY WIN. @. RICHARDS.


We autumn winds; ye soft and signing winds
That westward on your cloudy chariots roll,
Vain are my easements folded and my blinds,
To shut your sadness from my conscious soul.
In every breath ye moan glory gone
From meadows brown that yesterday were
bright,
From wooded hills, of emerald splendors shorn,
Grown sere like locks that blanch with sudden
fright.
know, o winds, your arts, your def deceits,
That kindle now the maple groves TO flame;
Their gold and crimson are but glittering cheats,
And ruin Turks amid their hues the same.
And ye VIII hold your melancholy breath
Tomorrow, when thesun your walls shall rend,
That he may gid your forest flags of death
With rainbow splendOrs in the cloudto end.
shall behold and marvel at the show;
But catching yet the echo of your means,
Ishan translate the sign to sense of woe,
That meath the painted mask the ravage owns.
Ye are but prelSdes, o ye murmuring winds,
Which seem to soothe while mocking yetny
Masked preludes of the blast that bites and binds
The scathed and shriveed earth while Winter
reigns.
hear the trumpet OF the tempest ring
Beyond the cadence of your plaintive sigh;
The grapes ripe Odors to my sense We bring,
But to beguile me while earth's glOries fly.
know, We speciOus winds, what We would say
That ye would come as Zephyrs in the Spring,
And blow across the land in June's sweet way.
AS if your breath no Winter airs could singi
And were well content to have you pipe
Your plausive plants of seeming sadness now,
And suck the sweetness of your juices ripe,
If ye would keep your signals off my brow.
1 would not dread the srows of which We moan,
Were they not symbols of my own swift shroud
When that shall wrap me, ye have no weird
tones
To call Life's sunshine out of Deaths cold
cloud.
o, autumn winds, 1 heard We once and laughed
To mark the flush We bring on deep decay;
When youths free chalice with delight quaffed,
Your maple flames warmed all my fears away,
But now read your signs by inner sense,
Till glow my cheeks with scarlet leaves to vie;
Life's June can charm me with no future tense
And graveyard only all its shadows flyI
Ye autumn winds that wall about me now,
This subtle meaning undertones your chant;
Since blow We must, breathe gently on my brow
And this sweet solaee TO my sorrow grant:
That may know have not lived in vain
AS all in vain sought your voice to shunl
And though Life's winter finds no spring again
immortal youth in Death may be begunl
