HAYES and his Military Ring are brewing
another outrage against Mexico, this time
with holder violation Of the law OF nations
than ever before. Their raids hither and
thither, far and wide. on Mexican soil, have
thus far been fruitlcss; the challenge they
have twice thrown down to Mexican troops
by insultingly forming in line Of battle has
not been needed; and now accordingly
SMARTER, MACKENZIE, and ORD have their
heads together Tor some more audacious
schene-they seem to Doe mcditating an at
tack on n Mexican town.
Santa Rosa. town OF few thousand pco-
Pile, is about thirty miles north Of Coahuia,
and near the silver mines Of that region.
From Santa Rosa Gen. ORD claims to have
received information that the last Lipan
raid into Texas was carried on by Indians
encamped near that town, and was publicly
known there before it occurred; that the
horses and cattle were divided there
when the Indians came back, not, how
ever, without fight over the plumber,
In the course OF which the town authorities
put some of the Indian cattle thieves in
prison; and that these town authorities had
full share Of the plumber. 1t is clear,
therefore. that here are all the materials re-
quired for raid on Santa Rosa 1t Is true
that the whole story may be as worthless
as those wonderful reports ON which ORD
has repeatedly sent his troops on wild goose
chases through Mexico; it is also true that
even this account shows that the Santa
Rosa authorities have punished some Of
the raiders by putting them in prison, pre-
sumably also for trial and additional pun
ishmcnt hereafter while the rumOr of their
sharing the plumber may rest on the official
seizure and detention Of the stolen property
But all that ORD and MACKENZIE and
SKATER want is Il plausible excuse for
going across the river on Il more aggressive
errand than any hitherto; aud now they
have that excuse. \ Mexican rumor de-
clares that MACKENZIE is already across
the Rio Bravo hut the panic is premature
These treaty Violations these constant
moves TO precipltate war with Mexico. have
the express sanction Of HAYES, and, in
decd, are the result Of his spurrings Gen
ORD has but lately returned TO San Antonio
from Washington, whore he was in con-
ference with SHERMAN, MCCRARY, and
HAYES on the next steps he should take.
The inviolabllity Of friendly territory Is one
OF the first principles in the intercourse Of
nations; but llAYE, and his Cabinet have
got long way beyond that point. What
they are now To- consider, after repeated
violations of tine M,Nican boundary. is
whether the next invasion Will provoke
war; and tine information from Santa Rosa
comes 50 astonishngly pat for this purpose
that HAYES can hardly fail to recognize it
as truly providenlal.

A correspondent signing himself "Amer-

Gaelic seems to be the only Kettle speech which
ever received high literary development. but

noteworthy literature had been produced in
Ireland prior 10 the English conquest, there Is
no doubt whatever. in view of the researches
made during the last half century. That the
natives Of Ierne possessed written language
rs early us 900 b c. is possible. If we accept
the date now commonly assigned by Gaelic
scholars to the compilation Of the Psaltcr Of
Tara; some fragments Of this ancient book Of
laws are imbeddcd in later works. but II Is inn
possible to judge from inspection whether they
were handed down Dy Wufd ul mouth ofEfNphic

taches to the mode in which the Homeric poems
were transmitted. but the weight Of evidence is

Greece at the epoch Of their composition, which
date would not vary greatly from that at

not follow that the Irish or Gaelic il tho oldest

question IT would be necessary TO fix the time
Mt which some Of the Chinese annals. the
Avesta, and the Nedas were committed
to writing. ms well as the true date
