Mexican mob over four houndred strong
have taken possession of the towns of San
Elzario and Islet in Texas, arrested the
officials, and are parading, the streets, shou-
ting "Death TO Americans" with cheers for
Mexico. The officers of the county, Ell Pa

T. h . are no troops in the neighborhood, and
fears are entertained of a general massacre.
The news here creates the greatest excit>
ment and the utmost. bitterniss prevails.
Offers will be at once of volunteers to pro-
tect The frontier, and, If necessary, invade
Mexico. The officers ofthe first Louisiana
infantry, of which an ez-Coufederate officer
is in command, express themselves as ready
to 20 on tbs shortest notice. The affair is
denounced here as owing to the feeble policy
of the general government. New Orleans
merchants are interested to considerable

CHICAGO, Oct 6,-The report having
reached here this evening from Fort Davis,
Texas, that there had been an invasion Of
American soil by Mexicans, followed by the
capture of two towns, representative Of

his residence to ascertain what intelligence
had been received at Army headquarters
on the subject 'h'. ..o

The General said he had the very latest

everything which pointed to any armed con-
fiict or an invasion. This report he said,
was wholly incorrect and had no shadow of
of truth.

LONDON, Oct. Z, Ali Saib, commanding
the Turkish forces on the southern frontier
of Montenegro, telegrahs to the Port that
Montenegrins on Friday attacked Podge-
rita, Spuz and the forts of Avnie, Jsmail
and Derwisch. The attack was vigorously
repulsed.
BATTLE OF THE GREAT YAGN1 HEIGHTS.
A telegram from Csnstaotinople, dated
Saturday evening, says :-"No further off,
cial intelligence has been received from
Moukhtar Pacha." His last telegram
was that announcing the commencing Of
Thursdays battle, in which he SAYS 1.-two
Turkish columns are now attacking the
Russians, who are concentrated on the bank
of the Kars Tschai, opposite Kodak Heights,
while the Turkish cavalry from soubatan
ank corps from Kizel-Tepe have been sent
to threaten the communications of the RUS
SLAMS with their camp at Kurat el."
NOTHING LATER.
The Times Paris despatch saying "a tele-
rgam from Moukhtar Pacha, dated Thurs
day evening, announced that the Russians
were repulsed on all sides with loss Of 5,
900 killed, and had fallen back on Karajal,
pursued by the Turks" is also repetition
of previous Constanople dispatches. As far
can b. made out from Moukhtar Pocha'a
latest despatch 1t seems that the Russians
have withdrawn from the right and centre
of his line and concentrated their entire
army at Aktschakla, on the Kars Tschai,
about fifteen miles northeast from Kars.

The completion of the jetties promises to the
above 'sriver points" great increase of river
business.
1t has been stated, correctly, that the river
tireiy neglected by the capitalists and influences
that have ribbed the country with railways, for
the carrying trade OF the rivers has always been
done in q disjointed manner, being dispersed
through hundreds OF small and conflic ing inter-
ests, there being total absence OF that concen-
up great railroads and their business.
The statement is confidently made that the
present value Of the tonnsge on the Mississippi
is not over three millions of dollars, a sum
probably not more than sufficient 10 build one
hundred miles of railroad.
What it ten millions were invested in steam
boat and barge lines to be directed by cote RE
OF Scotts CARROTS and Vanderbilts The great
ness OF the capacity Of the water path to the sea
would be speedily demonstrated This is an
important period in the history of the Mis-
sissippi Valley, in view of the near complexion of
the deep channel to the sea, aud the opening of
the Des Moines canal around the rapids at Keo-
buk,
Hence, the apathy of shipping points on the
upper rivers In regard to the Important events
transporting appears surprising.
There is much that is suggestive in the tables
given above. Pittsburg, 2063 miles from the sea-
port OF New Orleans, lie large owner and ops-
rators OF steamers, towboats and barges. 81.
Paul, similarly situated, bsing at the head of
navigation on the Mississippi, 2037 miles from
rev Orleans, owns neither steamer nor barge
as far as the Republican knows. And yet the |
canal Is about to be opened, which will give her
better navigation to New Orleans, taking all sea-
safed.
Capt. j. W. Robb, an old Red river captain and |
nllot died in the city hospital of Shreveport last
