MEXICAN RAID INTO TRxAs,
The Galveston NerS special from
Brownsville gives the following account
oi raid on Las Almas, which causes
some excitement. This decides the oues.
ton as TO the existence OF an organized
band in Mexico to invade Texas. Las
Almas is about hundred miles from RIO
Grande, and has three or four stores and
a good many inhabitants. Mr.. MCGoy-
ern, 8 Custom House inspector, Is recently
from Edlnhurg, and says that q party Of
raiders were III Hdalgo county, about
five days ago, and that they had bales Of
calico, ETC., on their horses. They crossed
the Rio Grande between Edinburg and
Ripggold barracks, nearly hundred
miles below Guerrers. They were
from Matamoras and other towns
on the lower Rio GrGnde and not
from Guennero. Ricardo Flones Is
stealing cotton from this side. More than
two weeks since a herder OF Celaya l.
Danache was captured by band OF rob g..
berG. They tied his hands behind him,
his feet under his horses belly, and turn
ed the horse loose. After grazing around
Tor twelve hours, the horse went to the
rancho, and the poor man was released.
The msrauderS collected the cattle and
drove them into Mexico. This occurred
about twelve miles south Of Brownsville
Three days since four armed Mexicans
stopped U. s. soldier in the road 30 miles
above here. They questioned him, and
let him go. A detachment of mounted
men was sent from the camp at Jos
Rucias 10 look for the Mexicans. The
result is not known. These events speak
for themselves. They show whether the
reported raids were tabricatlous or well
grounded warnings. The party which
robbed Los Almss intended 10 have gone
to Corpus Christiifihey had had sufficient
force. This was divulged by man who
overheard q conversation in Matamoras.
