arrived here from Texas last night, and
has passed most of the day in consul
tation with Gen. Sheridan upon affairs
of the Mexican border, in view of the
unsettled condition of things resulting
from repeated revolutions and raids
and the anticipated Lerdo expedition.
Gen. Ord urged the propriety of the
adoption of u new policy on the part
of the United States authorities. He
says that these marauders should be
punished wherever found, and dealt
with just as the Sioux are treated in
the North. He wants Gen. Sheridan
to give him the power to follow law
less MeXicans across the border, and
not appeal to the central government,
to which they owe no allegiance. 1t is
asserted in military circles that this is
to be the future policy of our govern
ment, and these raids must cease. The
United States troops are to be slightly
augmented upon the Rio Grande. Gen.
Ord remarked that the conservative
people of Northern Mexico favored the
Ler1o movement. Many of the best
classes are anxious for annexation to
the United States.
