A Mexican Raid into Texas.

A special dispatch from Corpus Christi,
Texas, dated Saturday, says "a band of
Mexicans came within seven miles of the
town, robbed several stores and houses and
took a large number of Americans prison
ers, among them Judge Gilpin, formerly a
member of the legislature, and two women.
They compelled the captlves to walk in
front of them until they were exhausted,
then mounted them on bareback horses and
hurried them off. They robbed and
burned the postoflice at Nueces, and robbed
and took prisoner one mail rider Texans
have gone In pursuit and fight is reported
near Banquette, in which one Mexican and
two Americans were killed All except
four of the prisoners escaped, but nothing
has yet been heard from them. Business
is mostly suspended and the citizens are
under arms guarding the town."
Information received from Los Olmos,
Nueces county, says that throughout the
entire region between there and the Rio
Grande lawless bands from Mexico are con-
tinually raiding through the country rob-
bling. numbering and driving stock across
| the river.
They have become SO daring of late that
nearly all travel on the highways has
ceased. Even stockmen are deferred from
hunting their cattle aud horses through
fear OF falling into the hands of these ruff
fans. At present there seems to be a con-
certed movement on the part of these vii
lains to clean out the "white men" within
striking distance of the Rio Grande-hfty
to seventy miles and even further-where
ingress and egress can be safely effected TO
this end. They have been crossing the
river in small detachmants for the past
week. 1t is estimated that there are now
on Texas soil at least 300 armed ban
dts, and rumor has II that several

In these days of ugly and Clever women
ii is pleasant to know that in the last gene
ration there were sensible women who
were possessed Of an admirable beauty and
who were glad they had it. In an old par
lor in Tarrytown Ga quiet Pennsylvania vii

Of Rachel Carey, of whom the artist said
hers was the most rare and fine face he had
ever seen. In the village, however, she
was not regarded as so handsom woman
as the Squires daughter, whose eyes were
black as sloes, and whose cheeks were like
spice plnks. The Careys, too, being near
kinsfolk of Thomas Jefferson, were held
to be of better blood than their neighbors,
and were paid homage as only inferior
classes in village know how to yield de-
ference to the Brahmlns among them. Her
mother took Rachel to the sewing-bees and
"tea assemblies" of the countryside, but
only the young men of certain families pre-
sumed to ask her hand In dance, The

ETTz JOHN PORTEn,s CASE.

So long as patriotism remains a virtue,
so long as honor, bravery and loyalty con-
tinue to distinguish the soldier, so long will
the name of Fitz John Porter and the
memory of his crime be stencil in the
nostrils Of all true Americans. The pas
sage of years might possibly blunt the re-
collection of his baseness to some the
memory thereof might become dim, but
Fitz John Porter, himself, is determined
that the story of his crime shall never die
1t is, perhaps, better that it should be so.
Let the man trumpet his own infamy If he
will. Who, then living, can forget the
gloomy autumn of 1869 ? Our army had
been beaten on many southern battle
field, and had been compelled TO retire dis
comfitted from before Richmond. The
peace at any price faction of the democratic
party had been successful in the elections,
and the hope of the Union seemed well
nigh gone. Then was it that Fitz John
Porter, major-general of the army of the
Union, was, after trial continuing forty
five days, by a court consisting of his
brother officers, found guilty of wilful dis
obedience of the orders of his commanding
general in the presence of the enemy, and
sentenced to be cashiered-that is to be
dismissed from the service of the United
States and to be forever thereafter disquali
fed from holding any Office of trust, honol
or profit hereunder. The proceedings
were reviewed by Judge Advocate. Genera
Holt, and upon the approval of the judg
ment of the court by him, in an able ant
exhaustive opinion, Abraham Lincoln
January 10, 1873, approved Of the finding
and sentence.
Let us recount, as concisely as possible
the circumstances of the crime AS W,
have said, the army had been discomfittet
before Richmond and had made a disas
trous retreat. The rank and file were de
moraized the officers filled with jealous,
and each seeking the chief command; poll
lies was all awry, and the administrator
was at its wits end. General Pope,
brave and gallant, but as it proved an in
competent officer,-at least to command S
large number of men-had been placed i
command of the army of the Potomac, an
was confronted with the whole of Lee
rebel forces, and Washington was believe
to be in imminent danger. Porter ha
been ordered to report to Pope, which h
did at Warrenton Junction, August 27tl
Here he received an order, commandin
him to leave Warrenton at one o'clock tn
next morning, and have his army at Brlf
tow station, nine miles distant, at daylight
that he might support Hooker, who wa
short of ammunition, and expected an a
tack at daylight from the combined rebt
forces of Jackson and Ewell. "Had tn
attack been made, as expected, nothin
could have averted frightful disaster, fc
Porter dlsobeyed the order, not startln
until daylight, and not reaching Brlsto'

GuiIiOtined by an Elevator.

Richard Finlay, messenger boy of the
associated press, was instantly killed Thurs
day afternoon in New York, in the West
ern Union Telegraph building At 4.3O
o'clock he went to the entrance in the third
story of the elevator and thrust his head
through the opening at the side of the
door to look down to the basement. The
oar, which was rapidly descending, struck
the boys head at the base Of the skull and
cut OIL his head above the ears and eve
brows. He was 1G years old and lived in
East Eighteenth street, near First avenue.
He had been in the employ of the associat-
ed press only short time.

The Trial OF TiItOn.

A iother week Of the Beecher trial closes
without bringing it perceptibly nearer to
an end. We believe that a good deal OF
"judiclous skipping is now being done by
the readers of the reports, and perhaps in
the course of month or two more, no
one but the persons directly interested in
the trial will attempt to wade through the
evidence. If there are to be any more
witnesses produced like that shameless
mink. Bessie Turner" nothing will be
lost. The testimony taken this week clear.
ly shows that it is Theodore Tilton who il
being tried-a fact which some people sus.
pected long ago. We would not presume
to anticipate the result of the trial, but VIC
really do not see how the jury can iail tc
find "Theodore" guilty.

Americans near the river have been muir
dered by them. Rumors come in that the
Mexicans have cleaned out company or
two of negro soldiers at San Luis on the
Rio Grande, about forty miles below Rio
Grande city, and that a number of armed
men were seen lowering near this place. A
number of Mexcans reside here, but they
cannot be depended upon for assistance in
a contest in which their oountrymen are
engaged. 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 sympathlze with
and give them secret aid and comfort.
