era ORD to-day requesting information as to the cor
rectness OF the nows OF Mackenze's invasion. Gen.
eral Ord replied that he had no official news
OF General Mackenzie being in Mexico, but
that If he was it was with NJ other intent that to
over;ake and punish raiders that had been depre-
dating on Texas SOIL No apprehen OF
