From General Thayer Mr. Ticknor received exact and keen-sighted explanations of all the movements of the armies on both sides, and was able to form clear judgments of the merits of military men who were often misjudged by the public. Mr. Ticknor repeatedly took regular officers of high standing on pilgrimages to the old chief at Braintree,—General Robert Anderson, General Donaldson, and others. In the summer of 1862 he met General Scott at West Point, being accidentally with him at the moment he was informed that President Lincoln was on his way to consult him; and when General McClellan visited Boston in 1863, he took great pleasure in meeting him.

rom Fort Ewell, that some fifty Mexicans attacked Redman's Ranch, about the 12th inst., and demanded the keys to the buildings containing Government property and property belonging to the county. These Mexicans are residents of this State, but it is well known that they are backed by others in Mexico. They declare that they no longer respect Texas laws or Texas Government. A company of Rangers have gone down to Redman's from Laredo. The Herald says that trouble may be expected. Capt.

The Rangers quickly returned the fire, killing a notorious character and leading man amongst the banditti, named Antonio Aches. Neither party attempted to cross the river. The Mexicans retreated beyond range of the Texas rifles, and the latter quietly proceeded on their scout.
