BORDER BATTLES.

RATrIING REPORTS FROM THE RIO GRANDE-
LIKELIHOOD OF MORE HOT WORK ON THE
FRONTIER.
The Brownsville special to the Galveston
News of the 18th instant, says: One raider
was wounded and feigned death, crawled
into high grass. and was not found. He is
i'm Matanoros and had ball extracted late
Yesterday. The raiders casualties of the
fight sum up twelve killed and one wound
ed. They lost, besides eleven horses, saddles,
etc, all their arms, repeating rifles and
pistols. Private j.. b. Smith was buried
Yesterday. There was large funeral pro-
cession-eitizens and soldiers turning out.
Col. Merriam, of the regular army, and Col.
Ford were marshals. He received military
burial, and was honored by citizens and
soldiers. Capt. McNelly could not go after
the raiders under Ricardo Flores, because
his horses were broken down. He gets but
half rations and forage, and has hard work
TO do. He should have full rations.
GEN. CoRTINA Is INCENsED
at the killing of his cattle-thieves. The
Mexican papers say the raiders were sssss-
snated while asleep. Capt. McNelly says
if they were asleep ne don'k want to find
any of them awake. Cortina swears he
will have revenge. Gen. CortiDa is arming,
and has bsen for more than week. He re-
ceived peremptory order to report
at Mexico, and in the event of dis
obedience the order Is to arrest him.
Gen. Fuero left Monterey this morning on
a march to Matamoros. He has three thou
sand men. It is understood that he. comes 70
attend TO Cortina. It is not known what
the brigand chief will do. He is preparing
for devilment. He will fight Gen. Fuero il
he thinks he can whip him. He may cross
to this side and place himself at the head oi

The managers of the Kansas Pacific rail-
way are using energetic measures to dissem-
mate accurate information in regard to the
resources of Kansas. A correspondent
sends printed circular signed by The gen.
eral passenger agent of the company, which
it is said has been sent to editors and real
estate agents throughout the state, in which
various valuable suggestions are made in
regard to the best means for enlightening
the public on the attractions of Kansas for
settlers. Among these are the following:
"Use your influence to prevent the publica-

in your local newspapers" and "fiu your

Prohibition vs.. License.

Just previous to tho late Republic
can State Convention, the Davenport
Gtsetie said:
"tfhe question Of prohibition, or H.
cense, has never been party issue,
and plainly ought not 10 BIO. If q
probillitory law IL TO be sustained, II
ought not to stand on the support of
4 party, for I'll docs all the organized
influence and engineering OF an op-
posing party, In every township and
county, will be welded to underinine
II and prevent It's execution. a law
seeking moral ends ought to rest up-
on tho Judgment and support Of he
moral elements OF the community,
without distinction OF party; and
when ii cannot have that. It's end il
near. IL Is therefore for tho interest
Of the friends OF prohibition not To
make II distinct issue, certainly
not a party Issue, but TO leave the
way open, for all who approve II TO
give IL their support, without unuo-
ceasarily sunderlng their party con-
nectlons.
