ist I4«ut. M. J. Kuykendall,
Frost in command. He took
htm twenty days' rations. On
V he returned without finding
and only capturing six

last, I neglected to say tnat Mr. A.
"" ""iphant succeeded in killing the
\ chief tnat shot McCarty.
nost was thrywn into a great
state of excitement a few days since,,
caused by tbe falling of a large me-
teor. The noise resembled that of
distant thunder. The general impres-
sion was, that the horse herd had
Stampeded. aud ^ after a,few minutes,
.all the availabfe men were sent out
in different directions to hunt sthe
horses, which were found within two
asiles of the post. On the return of
the boys, Mr. Dignon happened to
ride upon what caused the great tu
ihult in th« camp. . v,
Oapt James II. Fry, from Qamp
Magruder, on the Concho, has just
arrived in this post. He reports In-
dians quite numerous itk that section.
Oapt. Nelson, with fiftl men, came
upon an Indian camp, which the red
devils had just left. He got all their
arms; provisions, &c. On his return
Oapt. Fry immediately started him
(Oapt. N.) back after the Indians.
Major Ed. Burleson, with 300 men
And about fifty Tonkaway Indians,
iias gone to attack a large Comanche
village, high up* on Bed River. That
true friend of Texas, " Old Placedo,"
is with him. You may expect a good
account from them
Another expedition, under Colonel
'McCulloch, will start about the 10th
of September, to scout in the Wichita
country. Hope we will find plenty
of Indians, as we can get no chance
at the Lincoluites. The Bcout will
consist of some 300 or 400 men."
Pistar* on Letters of Soldiers and
Jfcaben of Congress-
Congress has passed, in secret ses
sion, the following bill, which will be
of interest to our readers :
.AN ACT relating to the prepayment
t; of pottage in certain cotes.
Section. l^The Congress of the
Gotafcderate States of America do
enact: That all letters and other
fnatter authorized by law to be trans^
knitted through the mail, written or
sent by any officer, musician or pri-
vate of the army engaged in the ac-
tual /wrvice of the Confederate States,
may be transmitted through the mails
to any other place in the Confederate
States without prepayment of post-
age | bpt leaving such postage to be
collected on the delivery of such let-
ter or other matter. Provided, never-
theless, that, In all such cases, the
letters an^ other mail matter so sent
S&IÍ1 be endorsed with the name, and
be on sceotmt of the individual
lie same, and shall contain a
óf the party who'sends
by endbreement of his mil-
r title, u an, officer, or of the com-
itnent tp which he be-
A musician Or private.
• That lettem and other mail
sent to any officer, musician
in the Confederate States
any point ftpm which the
'aa 9t private may
wr removed, shall be
to the person to whom dl
rected, at th*po* office nearestwhich
* * ' removed, free of
Faystt Count,y—We are in-
formed that notwithstanding the mem
bers of Capt. Strobel's company of
rangers are many of them poor men,
and without means to fit themselves
out for the war, they are suffered to
leave the county where they lived
without the public appropriation of a
dollar .for their benefit, aud in many
inBtanoes without any aid whatever.
One instance was' mentioned to ub
where a wealthy citizen owed a jjoor
volunteer three dollars and a half.
The -vípluntéer went to him for the
money, and he laughed at him, re-
fusing to pay. The volunteer turned
^ about in the man's presence, and
an head "of ""¿orees," saTdleci#91^ take three dollars for the
&c., which the Indians had debt « Wil you 1" says the debtor,
• - " I'll give it, and he"actnally bor-
rowed three dollars from a bystander
and paid it 1
These are the men who are going
away to sustain the honor of the
county, and the " four l)it" debtor is
one of the men they are ¿bing to
protect. .
We were astonished when we heard
the story, and would not have be-
lieved it, but on the most incomest-
ible evidence. We hope for the honor
of Fayette, there may be some pal-
liating circumst mees. We doubt if
another instancy of the kind can be
found in the State. We trust, too,
the citizens of that county will come
forward at once, aud make ijp a com-
pany fund for their brave rangers,
worthy of that rich county and its
brave troops.— Telegraph.
