GALVESTON, March 27. The
News special from Corpus Christi,
Tex, March 81, says:
A band of Mexicans came within
seven miles of town, robbed sever
al stores and houses and took a
large number of Americans prison
ers; among them Judge Gilpin,
formerly member of the legislature,
and two women. They compelled
the capiiyes to walk in front of them
till they were exhausted, then
mounted them on bare back horses
and hurried them off. They rob-
bed and burned the post-office at
Neuces, and robbed and took pris-
Oner one mail rider.
The Texans have gone in pursuit.
A fight is reported near Banquette.
One Mexican and two Americans
killed. Business is mostly suspend
ed and the citiZens are under arms
guarding the town.
Information has been received
from Les Dimes, Neuces county,
which says that throughout the en-
tire region between there and the
Rio Grande lawless bands from
Mexico are continually raiding
through the country robbihg,
maraudiDg and driving stock across
the river.
They have become so daring of
late that nearly all travel on the
highways has CEASED, even stock
6nkn
their cattle and horses for fear of
falling into the hands of these ruf-
fans.
At present there seems to be a
concerted movement On the part
of these Williams to clear up white
men within striking distance of the
Rio Grande, fifty to seventy. five
miles and even further where in
gress and egress can be safely eff
fected.
To this end they have been cross
ing the river in small detachments
for the past week, and it is estimat-
ed that there are now on Texas soil
at least three hundred armed BAN
dts. Rumor hath it that several
Americans near the river have been
murdered by them.
A rumor comes in that the Next
cans have cleared up company or
two of negro soldiers at San Huiss,
on the Rio Grande, about forty
miles below Rio Grande city, and q
number of armed men were seen
lowering near this place.
A number of Mexicans reside
here, but they can not be depended
upon for assistance in a contest in
which their countrymen are engag-
ed. Nearly the entire Rio Grande
frontier of Texas, embracing q belt
of from fifty to one hundred miles
in width, is inhabited mostly by
Mexicans, many of whom, though
taking no active part In the forays
Of the thieves, yet sympathize with
and give them secret aid and COM
fort.

At a very successful seance the
other night, at Topeka, man pres
ant burst into tears when the me-
dunn described very particularly a
tall, blue-eyed spirit standing near
with light side-vhiskers, and his
hair parted in the middle. "Do
you know him 2" inquired a by
stander, in a sympathetic whisper.
"KnOw him; guess 1 do!' replied
the unhappy man, wiping his eyes.
"He was engaged to my wife. II
he hadn't died he would have been
her husband instead of me. Oh,
George, George !" he murmured, in
. voice chOoked with emotion,
why, why did you peg Out?"
Among the utterly uncalled for
and unwise measures taken by o
Congress, so many of whose men,
bers have bid q long farewell of the
public service, is TO be ranked the
law changing the rates of postage
on third-elass mail matter. Instead
OF one cent for each two ounces or
fraction thereof the rate is now one
cent an ounce. This includes all
transient newspapers and periodical
merchandise samples, etc.. Tho has
~ manner in which the bill was
passed and the equally brief notice
given the public of the change, has
caused the public greater positive
loss to the general community than
the retired Solons will ever be able
10 repair-granting the improbable
ity of their ever being again called
upon to serve the people in q hon
Orable capacity. 1t is the almost
universal conclusion that the
change was made in the interests of
the grasping and monopolizing ex-
press companies.
