THE INDIAN OUTRAGES ON THE KIO GRANDE, One of the commissioners appointed under the recent act of Congress to investigate outrages on the Rio Grande, in a private letter to a friend in this city, dated at Brownsville, Texas, August 16, says :—“ We are taking a great mass of testi- mony o ve and importaut character, which J think will be satisfactory to our government. Our small appropriation, however, will not allow us to take one-third the testimony that we could get had we the means to send for persons or to visit various localities. Those citizens who are able to reach us are very grateful for what we are doing. There is no doubt but what there have been many serious depredations coins mitted upon our people by Mexicans and Mex- ican Indians, but it wil! require more money than Congress has fed appropriated to enable the commission to investigate the matter fully and pave the way for a complete sup) ion of raids by these maranders.
