MEXICO, December 28.-Lsst summer
/ Minister Foster ststsd 10 the Mexican
| government that it wss within the
/ poger Of the United States government
t) provide reEeCy, with the approval
OF Mexico for the depredatiOns COM
mitted by MeXicsus on the American
side OF the Rio Gr2nde. The remedy
was for regular troops 10 follow the raid
ers across the border, or to temporarily
occupy cerja'l points in Mexico where
rad rs cross the river. The reply Of the
MEX can secretary Of foreign sffsirs " as
tla' the executive had 10 authority to
grant such permission without the con-
sent OF congress, aud it would not be
prudent to ask for such consent, as the
sentiment OF the county would not ap.

as protection TO the citizens of Texas
must be afforded, and il not given bv

from ,he United States. In addition to
the deuial by Mr.. MaTescal, Mexican

THE NASHVILLE AMERICAN.

Such is the name of the new paper
which forever supercedes and takes the
place OF the Nashville Union and Amer
lean and the Republican Banner, The
consolidation was effected August 81,
and duly announced yesterday. Both
papers were in a hourishing condition
apparently and each had a long and
eventful history. They had recently
built fine four-story houses and had a
fair prospect Of living until the Centen-
NAL 1876. We shall miss the familiar
faces and peculiarities Of these venera.
Bile yet vigorous papers, and feel that old
landmarks in journalism have passed
away. The union Is q complete surprise,
but is only another evidence that this is
an age ofutilitarian ideas rather than sem
timent, ant that the public requires better
and fewer papers. AS talent, capital and
experience are concentrated in the press
at the commercial and political centers
we may expect an elevation in tone and
moro powerful and discriminating in
huence from American journalism. The
people prefer one good paper to two
common ones any time. But Nashville
had two good papers before, and we can
not imagine any possible improvement,
unless in dimensions. They we're almost
identical in politics and policy, the Ban
ner being rather more liberal In its ten.
denotes than the Union aud American.
The new paper will be issued from the
building of the old Union and Ameri-
can, and the principal editors of both
the papers retained. It is a strong com.
biuation, WHICH ought to give the paper
great prominence. 1t certainly has at
its command capital, brains and expert
ence. Since the foregoing was set up
in type the American Of yesterday came
to hand by mail, and fully meets our ex-
peetations 10 proportions and arrange
ment. 1t is stated thai economic con-
siderations and business incentives
prompted the union" Colonel John c.
Burch is President Of the company;
George L. Purvis, Vice President; R. C..
Roberts, Secretary; and Ira P. Jones,
Treasurer. We congratulate the propri-
etors on the step they have taken, and
wish them a career of prosperity and
usefulness, hoping that among other good
results their example will be followed
BY the press elsewhere.
