THE MEXICAN BANDITS.

Washington March 81. The 4th, 9th and 10th
regiments of cavalry and 10th, llth Oath and
18th regiments of infantry stationed in Texas,

distributed along the Rio Grande will be ordered
to that locality for the purpose Of suppressing the
Mexican raids.
The following telegram was received here to.
day;
Austin, March 30.
To His Excellency, L. S. Grant, President of the
United States
Sir-The depredatons of organized bands of
robbers from the Republic of Mexico have of late
increased in frequency and atrecity, to an extent
which threatens to depopulate the lower Rio
Grande country. The alarm in the country be-
tween the Neuces and Rio Grande, consequent
upon these raids-in which our people are ruth
lessly murdered and their property forcibly taken
by these foreign dcsperadoes-is wide spread and
unless relieved by some assurance of protection
must result in general break up of the settle
ments. On the Goth, a large party Of these rob-
bers penetrated the interior far as within Is
miles of Corpus Christi, robbing stores and
ranches, numbering and capturing citizens and
capturing and destroying the L. S. mails. | ap-
peal to your excellency for protection for the peo
pie of that county against these invasions of out
laws from Mexico, since they have been of almost
weekly occurrence for several months past and
are increasing in force and boldness. The citizens
of that country have been for the most part COM
PEELED to move to the towns for protection and no
security exists outside of these corporations for
life property, and the people in the towns even
hold themselves in readiness for defence. l trust
your eXcellency will deem it proper to give secur
ity to the people on the Rio Grande border, in
view of the assurance now give that an extreme
necessity exists for it.
Very Respectfully,
Richard Coke,
Governor of Texas.
