THE RIO GxANDE TROUBLES.
A speck of war is visible on the Dor.

patches for some time past have
teemed with illusions to raids and

have been made to the President to re-
inforcs our troops at that point, and
protect her citizens from the thieving
forays of Mexican cattle thieves. Pres
idept Dias some time since ordered
1000 Mexican troops to the scene Of

and with the promise that they should
be used to prevent further depreda-
tons. That they have not succeeded
il evident from our dispatches. which
shadow forth the probability Of q a

By . mob OF excited and unruly
