Justas we were going to press our opinion, backed by* we have
ir mi nv.t Jin nmiVtf lovtva numKara ia 4-Via♦
We bear that instead of an advan-
tage to our citizens, the soldiers of
these forts are a perfect nuisance.—
yesterday afternoon, Mr. Thos. Wil-
liamson of Coryell county, came in
and gave us the following rather
unpleasant items of newsr
About the 10th of this month, Mr
Taber, who lives some It mile^from
Bel ton, on. the Noland, went up to
•old man Storm's residence on Cow
House creek, 85 miles above Belton,
to build some chimneys—his wife ac-
companying him. He had been only
o day there, when his horses, which
were staked but a short distance
from the house, were missed. The
rope of one was cut and the other
untied. He followed them by the
marks made by trailing the ropes on
the ground for some 80 miles. At a
house about 6 miles from Storm's he
learned that 5 Comanches were seen
to pass early in the morning with a
cavillado of about 100 horses. A
fine American mare attempted go to.
the house, and when the Indians
found they could not prevent her es-
cape they killed her with arrows; a
horse was also shot with three ar-
rows and left behind.
After Mr. Taber had followed his
horses for the distance mentioned,
he discovered signs of where a party
of men had passed in pursuit of;thei..
indians, and he returned.
About the same time a cavillado
of about 80 horses were taken from
within 3 miles of Gatesville. A com-
pany of about 20 men immediately
started in pursuit, and followed for
60 miles, when 12 of them turned
back. The others said they intended
to go on until they saw the end of it.
Mr. W. further tells us, that Mr.
Lewis, a son-in-law of Moses Jack-
son, Esq., was killed on Pecan Ba-
you, near Camp Colorado, by indianB,
or men disguised as indians. Mr L.
walked out near the residence of Mr
Lee about 3 miles from his place, to
look at his cavillado of fine American
horses, when he saw 6 indians riding
round his stock. He started in a
AO doubt large numbers, is that
they are kept but for the purpose of
protecting and feeding a large body
of Indians who do no good, but oc-
casionally break out and commit
depredations on our frontier settlers.
Away with the cursed red devils, let
us have a few companies of Ran-
gers, to whom'give orders to "kill
burn and destroy," and our word
fot it, we'll soon gets rid of these
depredations. .The Indians on the
Reserve are in Qfp humble opinion
at the foot of, if not the actors in
these villianies—and the best that
/' -V.
can be dotté with them is to -exter-
minate them, «id not Jeed their
mouths and the poctce$a. of the
Agénts. *
How do these tbiqgs which we
have above related ana which are
not hearsays, tally with the reports
of the Indian Ag<$t s—"that the
Indians are in a, petfect state of qui-
etude: -that they are rapidly becom-
iug civilized. That Btory can't bear
telling any longer.
Since putting the above in type, we
learn that a Mr Ren fro is missing-
supposed to be killed by indians.

run; 5 of the indians herded the hor-
ses, while the other one pursued Mr.
L. Being afoot he was soon over-
taken and shot, 3 arrows lodging in
his body. After shooting him the
Indian said in plain and unmistakc-
able English " Damn you, I've been
wanting to kill you for some time,
and now I've got you." This was
in sight of Mrs Lee, who stood in
her door. Mr Lewis succeeded in
reaching this house and lived some
3 hours after he was shot. He told
Mrs Lee what the indian had said to
him after he shot him.
Mr Lee was out on a mule, and
came across 7 indians, 3 of whom
gave him chase, up to his own field.
To prevent being shot with arrows,
he threw himself over the fence, then
drawing his revolver he shot one of
his pursuers through the body, kil-
ling him instantly, and wounded
another. Two men had in the mean
time come to Lee's house, and hear-
ing the report of the pistol they ran
out to learn the cause of it; the two
indians saw them and made off, tak-
ing with them the dead body of their
comrade.
As far as heard from, all the Ca-
villados of horses above Storms,
and across to the Leon, Colorado
and Pecan Bayou, have been taken
by Indians or men in the disguise of
Indians, and all who own stock arc
bringing them down below Belton,
and the disposition among the peo-
ple in that section is to leave, them-
selves, if nothing is done to protect
them. Our Legislature is now in
Session and we call on the Repre-
sentatives of our people to wake
up; put no longer dependence in that
wretched incubus the U. S. Army. | and one mule, we naturally suppose

zens who were disposed to pursue Oh glorious^Arm of . ^
those red devils and chastise them,
they were laghed at, and refused.
From a communication dated Lare-
do, Oct. 14th, we get the following
items of news: The Indians, it seems,
actually came within the "precincts of
the town of Laredo," and killed Some
hogs and oxen! And at the dis-
tance of six leagues from the town
the Indians attacked and murdered
two shepherds,.attending the flocks
of J. Farinas. One of these men
had his hands tied behind him—his
feet tied together, and 'lanced to
death in the most horrible manner.
The company in pursuit under Liet.
Owens, followed them into the chapa-
ral, took ' three horses and one mule!'
but "they found it impossible to dis-
lodge them." To show how horribly
frightened the Indians were—-just
two days after they again made their
appearance only 16 miles from Lare-
do, and captured a little boy, " and
after taking his pistol released
him!" Wonderful dread they must
have had of the company in pursuit,
and no doubt that poor little boy
actually believes that the Indians
have a small spark of humanity in a
remote corner of their hearts. Our
readers will remember that Fort Mc
Intosh is at Laredo, and the same
writer says there is less than 80 sol-
diers there, "and that it is impossible
—actually impossible for one com-
pany of troops to protect the fron-
tier for hundreds of miles above and
below Laredo." I flic had said to pro-
tect the town of Laredo, and coun-
try 15 miles round, he would have
come nearer to it.
OFFICIAL REPORT.
On Wednesday last we see an
aocount of the above affair in the
"Daily Herald." of our city, in the
shape of an "official report." We give
below some quotations from said re-
port:
" Second Lieutenant W. Owens
left Fort Mcintosh, on the 10th inst.,
with one noncommissioned officer
and nine men of company 1,2d Caval-
ry." " At 12 o'clock 1 was on the
trail. It took a North Westerly di-
rection for 10 miles, and then turned
sharply to the South—found on the
trail the body of a man whom the
Indians had just wounded and left
for dead,—the wounded man died du-
ring the night." " About eight miles
from my camp of the night previous,
I found body of another man whom
the Indians had murdered; cis hands
were tied behind him, and his feet
were tied together. He had been
lanced to death, though his body
was still warm when I came up.
Indians were seen about two miles
ahead of me." The next day they
took the trail again,—"I overtook
the Indians at 2 o'clock, P.M. They
ran into a chapparal leaving their
horses and everything they liad.
After long search was obliged to
abandon the pursuit. I took all the
property the Indians had, three hor-
ses and one mule, their ammunition,
clothing, &c.
As they "took all the property
the Indians had," viz: three horses
