THE TExAs BORDER.
TCbieaep T;mss.1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Rapresentafive
Schleicner, OF Texas, says the people OF
his State have but one thing 10 ask OF
the Administration or OF G tn2reas in
the settlement Of the Texas border aues-
tiop, and that is to furnish enough
troops 10 Gen. Ord to enable him to
carry out the order issued to him by
Secretary McCrary. Tuis order properly
carried out would, in his opinion, correct
the multiplied evils that have SO long
afflicted bis State. He says that Gen.
Ord has meyer obeyed this order, and
the reason why is that he has not a suf-
ficient number Of men under his COM
mand to enable him to do 1T. The only
raid that he has made across the river
has been up the river, where no Mex-
leans and only Indians reside. The In
dians in this region have no sympathy
or connection with the Mezicans. The
real trouble Of which the Texans COM
plain comes from the residents Of the
province Of TaD,auiipas. Mr.. Schlei-
cher says Gen. Ord would not dare to
go in that provinces. In case Of d raid
there are enough Mexican soldiers TO
cut our little force all to pieces. SO
we'll understood on the Mexican side ig
the weakness of Gen. Ord that the
local journals have already begun to
sneer at Secretary McCrary, and say
that as be has not power enough to en-
force his order he had better withdraw
it at once. The weakness Of the Ad-
ninistration In backing up the order
has created great contempt for the
people Of the United States among the
people OF the northern provinces. Un-
der the order Gen. Ord's duty was to
have crossed the Rio Grande and cap
tured the band OF Mexicans who re-

present negative condition, Mr.. 5chlei-
cher is OF the firm opinion that the peo-
pie of the northern provinces will attack
us. This might arouse the country to
sense of realization, but meanwhile
damage would be done to the property
of the people OF Texas.

plows, but stir the ground with crook

their grain they lay it in large circle,
and turn on to 1t a flock of goats or
horses. 1 have seen them use both.
Then two or three men drive the ami
mails round and round and round, till
the wheat is trodden out. Then the
straw is thrown up with g. broom, fork or
stick, and the chaff is thus blown away.
After this the women wash the wheat
which is to be for family use. That
which they sell goes without washing y
