Major Jones, of the Frontier Battalion,
reached Austin yesterday. He is m re-
ceipt to-dry of Telegrams from Dallas
stating that six persons have just been
arrested oy his men in Denton county,
charged with late train robberies. One
of them has been indicted as principal—
a Mr. Hill—and three others, as acces-
sories after the fact No mdi'
so far, have been found
the other two. • These indictments
have been found in the United States
Court.' Bass, Underwood and Jackson
are on the ran. Peake's company and
the sheriffs of Grayson and Denton conn*
ties are in pursuit, and if not captured,it
is probable they have fled the couotry.
The sensational publications in the Dal-
as press of Cspt. Peak being shot, and
of the pursuit of Bass and others, in
which many of the robbers were wound-
ed, are undeserviog of notice. It" is
gratifying to know that these high-hand-
ed criminals are. being brought to jus-
tice, and that through the instrumen-
tality of the State troops. It is all bosh
about the detectives aiding Major Jones
in making these arrests. They have

Robbeby.—A robbery of twenty or
thirty bead of stock took place last night
ten miles below the city, from the pas-
ture of Mr. Barry, which is iq charge of
Mr. Bunting. Yesterday evening, a man
riding a grey horse, approached Mr.
Bunting, and inquired the proper road
to the pasture. Some of the
communications were boggy, and Mr.
Bunting unsuspectingly told him .of the
proper road to take. There were five
robbers in the clan, beaded by the one of
ho atole from: the .7a -
twenty or thirty head of sfock. 'The
saddle bags of the robber riding the
gray horse were found in the paiture by
Mr. Bunting, and hence the identifica-
tion. He came to the city to-day for a
sheriff's posse to pursue and capture the
thieves. We trust

He has exhibited in his administration as

THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION.
A General Sentiment Along the Bsrder
In Favor or Lerdo.
San Antonio Herald.
The following telegram was received
yesterday by Gen. E. O. C. Ord, Depart-
ment Commander, from Lieut. Col. N.
B. Sweitzer, 8th U. 8. Cavalry, com-
manding at Ringgold Barracks.
Rquhk>u> Babbacks, May 1.— Gen.
E. O. C. Ord: The Mexican revolution-
ists crossed from Texss into Mexico on
the night of the twenty-seventh of April,
at Laralta, Retama, Capola sggd La
Palma, places Opposite and beioW Santa
Maria. ' i'.r \ y .
They were supposed to number some
three hundred men, under the direction
of Col. Munos, a staff officer of Esco-
bedo's. *
The party crossing at Capota was dis-
persed by Mexican troops under Major
Garcia; they are still in Mexico.
Geo. Canales, with a small party of
troops, is at Ragusa, opposite Edinburg.

It is a well known fact that General
Escobcdo and his son came as far as
Converse on-the train Tuesday evening,
where he was met by his friends iu a car-
riage, who brought bim to a point near
this city where he was met-by prominent
Lerdista, and tbe party started in one of
Schoti & Ashley's stages for a rendez-
vous on the Rio Grande.
The amount of rifles, side arms, car-
idges and cabres shipped to the Rio
Grande via this city, |s sufficient to start
the ball in motion, and there is good
cause for believing that tbe Mexican
Revolution, beaded by parties known to
be hostile to the United States, and in-
augurated and fostered under the pro-
tection of the Stars and Stripes will soon
be attracting attention in this State at
least, in consequence ot the continued
violatiou of the neutrality laws and fre-
quent raids on Texas soil.
We are indebted to onr friend, Mr.
Louis Brune, for specimens of wheat,
rye and clove* raised upon his plantation
six or seven miles from town. The heads
of the wheat are six inches in length,
and well filled, while the rye would com-
pare favorably with any we ever saw
grow. We are not much of a judge of
clover, though we have seen it grow in
Virginia, and the specimen before us
seems to be as good as any. The stalks
are a little over three feet in height,
fully matured, and with blooms. Mr.
B. has only a small area of each in cul-
tivation, but is satisfied and has demon-
strated that these crops can be success
fully grown in Colorado county,—Col-

And if they wish to depredate Hubbard 0

quite so thin, as to attempt to make
Gov. Hubbard responsible for laws that
he had only a single - voice in framing.
Dick Hubbard is not the law maker; it
is his duty as Governor to see that tüey
are faithfully and honestly administered;
and what honest man in the State can

Tab latest definition of the Anglo-
Russion issue: England demands the
placing of the treaty of San.Stefano be -
fore tbe congress for unreserved discus-
sion, while Russia, it is said, refuses to
give way on that point In Berlin, as
in London, the subiect Is treated with
schepticism, and it is known that Russia
jefusea to yield on the ehief point and
that England maintains her demands.
- Some weak's since it was reported that
an cal well had been discovered in Hold-
er Run, about four miles from Millers-
town, Butler county. Mo., the product
of which was found to be better refined
as it came from the earth than the
unfair. Our people will never have a
better man at bis post than Throckmor-
ton. Nor will they even have a better
or more honest Governor than Hubbard;
then where is the good sense of a think-
lag people to make a change.
I expected to find all the border or
Red River counties for Throckmorton,
but nearly all of them will give Hubbard
a majority. I think the Governor's ''call-
ing and election sure." To-day,through
the courtesy of Col. J.^P. Dougla&e,
President of the Tyler Tap Railroad, I
went to Ferguson, its present terminus.
The officers of the road, Douglass, Dr.
Goodman, Col. Tom Bonner and Mr.
Cox, are too well known to need any
comment from me. The road was built
hy and does great creditto Mr. S. Both-
nell, for it is one of tbe moBt substantial
and best built in the State. Ed. Willis, ,
the conductor, is an "old Virginia gen-
tlemen," and his manner and flat or
bnwd Virginia brogue carried me back
to my old boarding, house in Richmond,
known as 'Castle Thunder.?' Whilst
*fc«*^~araB not that of

say I was never mistreated, and hod to
eat the same they had, but it came near
starving them—and me too.
In the selection of Mr. Willis as con-
ductor, and D. R. Murphy as engineer,
the road could not have abosen two bet- ;
teror more polite men. Mr. 3. M. Hop-
ping, late of Austin, gives entire satis-
