'Wetrnst tho effort to secure the location of tho works heje may prove successful. Says the Ilarrlsburg Putrlot : The contlnuanco of waim weather has broke down the credit of some heavy dealers In coal in New York and other eastern cities. They cannot sell tho coal they have contracted for and cannot pay lor coal they are still hound by contract to receive. Even the shares of the coal carrying roads havo dropped oft a point or two, but poor people save much that tho coal dealers loo?c. There Is gresjt comfort In that. A meeting of tho paddlers aud Irqn manufacturers of Pittsburg was held on Saturday, It being tho ,mt0 agreed on two months ago for a renewal of tho conference regarding Uic prlco to bj2 paid for boiling iron. Tho meeting was prlvatc,but It Is understood to have resulted In an agreement to continue the mills In operation, and hold nnoth er conference on the 21st Inst., when if a price is adopted, It shall data from the l-Jth, but If i)0 fi-ed prlcp 13 nrjreed upon, all tho work done In the mean time shall be at ?4 75 per ton. General Ord, commander of tlio Military Department of Texas, was be fore tho House committee fin Texas frontlor tioubles on Saturday, and gave an account of fbs catllo raids to which tho country for a length of 500 unles and a breadth nt 150 on the American sldo of the Rio Grande is subjected. The General says tho region of these forays Is separated from the river by an extenslvo belt of undergrowth fofpaf .or chapparal vJiIcli forms a Ecrccn and shelter for tho cattle thieves, and that tho worst clas of Mexicans living on the Texas side act as spies and inform ers for tho raiders. Tho Intelligences received from these dishonest Mexicans enables the thieves to avoid tho routo by which they might do Intercepted on returning with their plunder. Ou tho Mexican side, tho raiding bands, which sometimes number frpn) 100 to 150 men, are in league with the local authoiltles, Corcina being their recognized chief ; bonce every facility Is given tljom for the disposal of their .plunder, and the restoration of tho stolen catflo Is not thought of. General Ord thinks tho Mexican Government powerless In (he matter, and that, therefore, tho pply ramedy is to Increase tho military fqreo pn the Rio Grande, and authorize, him to send troops in pursuit of tho marau ders tp the Mexican side, and deal sum mary punishment on them. Ho is of opinion that whatever opposition the local authorities might make to such action, the General Government of Mexico would offer pone. CORRESPONDENCE.
