LAWLESSNESS ON THE R10 GRANDE tf Texas—They Rob and Murd: Will_The Strong Arm of Govern- ment Ked for the Protection of the Texans, Corrvs Curisti, Texas, April 21, 1873. Eiitor Ster: Since writing my last letter I npelled to remain at this place, state. The people of Washing- ave no idea, and I believe the administra- ch has been ex- and now increas» If some proper re the public, | used by the government, il'service, to protec of this country, who > to the government for the teetion. ‘The following is a statement between this place and Laredo, on the Kio Grande:—At the present time there are two bands of men, numbering about 39 Mexicans each—one is led by Atalano Alverado, the other by Alberto Garza—who are devastating this section of the state from Mier across to Texas, into the interior, thence to Laredo, having headquarters at Guerrero, Mexico, easily ac- cessible wheu hard pushed by the uprising of indignant rancheros, who have been plundered. ‘These bands are now trespassing upon the soil of Texas, principally in Nueces county. within sixty miles of Corpus Christi. These elegant, gentlemanly cut-throats, horse and cattle theves of foreign distinction make cccupation a trade, successfully, too, det the civil authority; and when they cannot r the cattle into Mexico they kill them on the spot, aud compel some poor devil of a ranchero to buy the hides, under the penalty of his life. Stores are sacked, and travel on the hizh- way by Americans is attended with robber. rope or pistol shot. whichever may be taken as the part of the joke of the captors. Thos. Kearney, ex-collector of customs of district, while returning home trom Laredo Corpus Christ, on the 15th inst., where he tad been called to collect government funds, barely escaped both bands, ahont sixty miles from La- redo, on the Corpus Christi road. Had he been caught, the ent oo gy A would have suffered the penalty of death, from the fact that they were “Gringos,” a namé they have given to the Americans since the Mexican war, mean- ing “‘greenhorns.”” ir. Kearney gives his statement thns: “I re- ceived information in camp that night (15th instant) from the mail rider on his way to La- redo, at 8 o'clock, of the fact that he had just been released by these bands,who had held him prisoner the previous day to determine what they should do with him and the mail. They concluded to release him, as he was a Mex although a citizenof the United States. T bands (at the time of his arrival in Kearney’s cmp) were then about twelve miles away, ‘omposed of the worst desperadoes from Mex- ico, who stated that they did not wish to hurt Mexicans, but only Americans and American property. As is customary, the farmers must, when these raids are made, leave their work and shoulder their muskets to protect their homes, although they have no right to do so in accordance with the now existing law, but are compelled to it trom the want of troops to protect them. They, like men, on Sunday last gathered iogether some fifteen determined per- sons from the surroundings of Banquette, and pursued the robbers. They discovered in one chapparel the evidence that 125cattle had been stripped of their hides; in another 50; and in another 68; and, overtaking the gang, a running fight ensued, and they were 80 fortunate as to return home with seven captured horses, the saddles being empty.” The above is but an every day occurrence. You cannot tell where next the fiends in- carnate will strike. This statement of affairs retards emmigration, ruias the ranche- Tos, reducing them from a competency to poverty, and makes all kinds of trade stag- nant, in it be just that such a state of affairs should continue, because this kindof warfare has existed since the defeat of Santa Anna by xicans hates with hellish vindictiveness?

It is now stated that there were THREE BUNDRED PECSONS ON THE BRIDGE at the time of the accident, and that a greater number escaped than was at first supposed. When the bridge gave way, most of the people were gathered at either end, though @ Ia number were near the center, and some of the latter remained where they were after the crash ami were taken of in boats. Several persons jumped from their precarious resting place, and were drawn ashore. Two horses, attached toa buggy, were on the middle span when the crash evme, and remain there still, as there is fake. of getting them off. There were a num- o REMARKABLE ESCAPES OF CHILDREN, of whom there were not less than fifty on the bridge. One little fellow, aged 13, was caught by both feet in the iron rigging of one of the spans, and bad a leg broken; but he managed by sheer strength to pull one of his bouts off, and then coolly touk out bis knife and ripped the other boot from his crippled leg and swam ashore. Two little girls, sisters, standing side by side, went down together.
