Mr.. EvARTs affects to be a jocular over
the notion of a war with Mexico in hot
weather, aud with his illustrious collear
CUES, McCrary and Thompson, both away
from Washington. On the Rio Grande
the matter is no joke. People there under
stand what is meant when, under the
guise of search party, pursuing few
cattle thieves, twenty-four companies of
cavalry, artillery, andinfantry, with forty
Seminole scouts, large party Of "Texas
citizens to identify American property"
eight pieces Of artillery, including four
Gatling guns, and train of forty wagons
and four ambulances, march sixty miles
into Mexico, and at each sight of Mexi-
can troops draw up in line of battle. No
wonder that anger and alarm have driven
the Mexican borders to organize for de-
fence. A yiolater of treaties and of a
nations right, Hayes will not rest salts
fed until he has added TO his two Indian
wars bloodier and more wanton war
with Mexico.
