They are bright, active, strong. and

Steever's report regarding the small
rebel bands which raided American
territory last week, minimizes the
whole affair, which the general SAYS
resulted in the stealing of two horses.
The character Of the country where
the raids occurred is such that it is
often impossible for a person to tell
when he is on one side or the other
of the boundary. Therefore, the war
department officials are inclined to
believe the MeXicans may not have
been Intentionally guilty.
