Iast Saturday was the day set apart by
cur Union friends for the holding of their
Dominating Convention. The meeting was
he'.d ami tucy are-now fully committed to
the propriety of the Stale Convention which
Is about tho only definite result we can ga-
their from their action. The day was in-
tensely cold which seems to us a good ox-
iim I for the slim attendance on the occasion.
The Union Party hnd it all their own way
without let or hindrance from those who
wore opposed to thciu; no secessionist lifted"
up iiia voice or suffered hiiusr'.f to be henrj

I must not forget to state that Mr. X. P.
Sims of Chambers Creek contributed 40

ted largely of which lmTo not tjio par-

indebted to the personal exertions of our
td'.vueman Mr. H. H Turner who accompa-
nied iho expedition.
Many of the last party aftcv delivering
o- or their supplies to tho pi oner persons
have returned as they could net remain nb-
s. ul troni Iheir homes long enough to be of
material service.
So you s5 that Kllis County has respond-
ed to the call of the frontier promptly and
generously. We believed the call was sin-
ccielv made. It. now devolves on Jack aud
l'urk counties to Bee that our confidence
is not betrayed and that the proper use is
made of the means we have furnished.

The above will b good ucwa for ihe fron-
tier. The p iny woro killed (and tha '
party wei-e killed or taken prisoners) aia
I he ones ho conimiiied the inhuman butch-
ei es iu J fek county. The evidouee it eou-
cliisivc clothes pa!rs e being recover-
ed from them which proves beyond doubt
ihat Ihcy are the guilty wrotchoa. Captain
Koas and the wen and officers under him
deserve as lliey will receive the thanks of
the frontier.
Capt. Curr'tigtoii kept on and has somo
hopes of getting another fight. Ho has some
noble spirits with him who if they have
the opportunity will leave their marks on
Iho Hed Skins. .
It should have beou mentioned Sargeant
Spangle of Company If. 2d tvalry with
20 men was engaged il tho fight under
Capt. lloss and did yeoman's service.
About 40 head of horses were taken all
of them I understand Indian horses Ihe
stolen property had been sent on by anoth-
er party. The little boy who was taken
prisoner was killed by the Indians a day or
two before the fight.
Our correspondent in a P. S. dated Ihe
24th adds the following information ob-
tained from the white female prisonor:
This woman does not know her name nor
whore she was taken from. She recollects
however of the Indians taking and killing
her sister at the lime she was lakrn. They
were jit tho titnejrery young. Sho has re-
mained with them ever since and has adop-
ted their language and habits. Indeed she
can scarcely speak ft word of English. She
jas one"child about 12 or 15 months old
r'.'.a was brought in with her.
Klie states Ihat the Indians who were
l.illed (with the eiception of tarsal f nnd
tho children) were a part of tie baud who
committed the depredations in Jack eonnty
recently; that they ran the atolcn horses to
the place where the battle was fought and
delivered them to another party who were
waiting for them and the latter Immediate.
ly took them on lo the main rendeivous
leaving the former to rest themselves sinl
hones nnd then pack tbe Buffalo meat and
hides which had been gathered during their
absence in the settlements. She says there
are four tribes banded toge her for the pur
poso of depredating on ihe frontier this
winler and spring and that they arc camp
ed upon the head waters of the Canadian
and Red Rivers some 150 or 200 miles west
of the scone of the fight.; that they were in
a starving condition owing to the Buffalo
beinc so much lower down than usual this
fall and winter.
The White Man Extrn of the 28th give us
the same news as above in a letter from
Capt. E. W. Rogers of Ellis county who
was vuinpcd at. host Valley on Christmas
day.
Another extra from the H'Af Man office
under date of the 25th gives the following
letter from Palo Pinto recording more In
dian depredations:
Palo Pinto County Dec. 22 1800.
Editor) White -Jfon.--rThe-. Indians- are
down unon us aiain. committincmurderand
alcaline. Thev killed a man a few days
since ou Leon Creek by tbe name Gholston
Flaneginnd wounded another by the name
of Smith. They were in a wagon aud were
attacked by somo 40 or ol Indians ou loot
and five or six on horseback. Smith receiv-
ed a very bad wonnd ia tlie joi:.t of the.
knee but it is hoped he will recover soon.
Thev killed and scalped young Flanegin
within one and half miles of home stripped
him. and cut him in a horrible manner.
Iris thoueht from Ihe sign that he killed
or Wounded one or more of the Indians as
ho had on a good six-shooter and eight or
niuo shots were heord; and blood was louna
on tho trail. The Indians went down the
Ton;-cverybody has left or fortcd up and
without wc got help we are gone.
On the 1-Sth the Indians about 50 or 60
in number attacked and shot Mr. Brannon
nud Mrs. Coin; Mrs. C. being shot with sev
en arrows and Mr. II. with hve: both don
gcrously wounded but hope they will get
well. They shot riKes at tliem but with no
effect. Mr. B. kept them off with his rifle
until he reached the house.
Evervthintr is in confusion and ruin
Can't wc have no protection from these mur
derers and thieves i write mis in unai
Yours with respect
EL). RICHARDS.
The IFAife .Mm adds: "The above letter
was received this mominir and is reliable;
the Indians in a formidable force have gone
iu Ihe direction of the Leon and may ex.
poet to hear of fresh murders and robberies.
What with the outrages committed and the
thousand and one ridiculous and alarming
reports in circulation will well-nigh ruin
tbe country. Jack and Polo Pinlo counties
are almost desolated and the most distress
ing condition of affairs exist.
The Got. has ordered out three companies
of men and we understand that -our little
friend Tom Stockton is commissioned to
raise a company and captain Buck Barry
another. These are the best of appoint
ments and two better rangers are not on
tlie frontier. We wish them all success."

to believe that their aggressive policy long
since Inaugurated is still to bo pushed up-
on us to tho injury of our slave interests.
2nd. That in the election of Lincoln wo
see no just or adequate cause for immediate
Secession by Iho Stilo of Texas from the
American Union yet we sny thai ihe refu-
sal of the Northern States to execute in
good faith tho fugitive slave law is viola-
tive of tho clearest provisions of the con-
stitution of the United Stiles and tin pass
age of laws of eleven of tho Northern Stales-
known as "personal liberty Hills" is np?n
and avowed nuliflealion is odious unjust
and unconstitutional nnd leaves no hope
for a enntinunnoo of tho blessings of Ihe
Government until they ore expunged
from their Statute books.
8d. That we .deplore the wild spirit of
secession which has seixed upon ihe South
having a tendency to precipitate us into
immediate dissolution nnd wc now solemn-
ly remonstrate against such action of such
Southern Stales as propose immediate se-
cession. 4th. That a sovereign Stato has most
clearly the tilit lo secccd from the gcnernl
Government and is her own judge when
sufficient provocation is given to mnko her
sever her connection.
fith. That we solemnly demand of such
State ns have passed personal liborty bills
a repeal of snid nets tit the first assemblage
of their State I.esrishitnrcs nnd wc solemn-
ly demand of all Iho Northern States n
fill -nd perfect constitutional guaranl"'
for tho extradition of our fugitive slaves
for eqnnl rights to our slave property in
tlie territories and for an entire and abso-
lute control of the legislation of the sub-
ject of domestic slavery by the slave States
unlrameled by the free State Governments
or the citizens of snid free Slates' and if
said SiafeB refuse after sufficient timo for
soher thoughts to redress our grievances
and ncco'-d tig our just rights in the confed-
evney. Then priile -honor and interest de-
mands of us ill tho name of God nnd liber-
ty to siimlrr the ties that bind us now and
let Ihe inopronib!c conflict come with all
the horrois of civil war and we now de-
clare we will novcr by secession yield to
the North our Army Navy munitions of
woe publ'c domain public treasury Nn-
lionnl Archives relies(& emblems; but wiH
call God to our aid and net well our part
before the gaio of the nations of the earth.
Gt That wo invite the citizons of the
States both North nnd South to unite with
us in resisting the unlawful encroachments
of fanaticism upon our institutions and to
connscl with us upon Ihe most effectual
means to secure our just nnd equal rights.
7th. That wc fear no immediate evil to
the Southern States by the inauguration of
the President e'ect to tho responsible duties
of his ouu'4 and we seo no just reason why
we should resist it -whilo wc have in both
branches of oiir National Legislature the
power to render harmless any effort of tho
Executive to fasten political fetters upon
onr tnnds.
Sthj. That our trust is in Cod the justness
of csiisc and our own strong arm for our
defence and that we will hnve our rights
"peaceably if we can forcibly if we must1'
and that life liberty and the pursuit of
happiness is gone forever should we retraot
a singlo item from this our position cnlmly
dispassionately and eternally fixed.
9th. That in" case our rights are not re-
spected and it becomes necessary to dissolve
'this glorious Union that we arc in favor "of
a S luthcrn Union of all the Southern States
together with the soveral Indian TerritoVies
immediately sdjoiningTcxas Arkansas nnd

crisis nnd gave a great many incont rovcrt-
able facts why this Union should not now

tion to every unbiased mind. At the con

eluet tlio galleries of tiro Hall oi'
the llouso of Eepreiiontativeu was
densely crowded many ladies being
present.
Gov. pickons read his . inaugural
the sentiment of whicli wore de-
cidedly firm for Recession. Tlio
address was warmly applauded.
In tho rear of Governor Pickens
on the Speaker's stand sat Howell
Cobb and Messrs. El more and Hook-
er Commissioners from Alabama
and Mississippi.
.Columbia Dec. 17 1 p. m. A
henvy fog" hangs like a pall over
Columbia to-day creating a feeling
of generaUgloom. . . Tho smaU-po;
is causing sad havoc among our-
people aud the panic is intense
both among citizens and strangers.
Jftmy members of the Legisla-
ture havo returned to their homes
and others will 60on follow.
Strong efforts will be made to-day
to adjourn the Legislature and Con
venttouto Charleston. If this proves
unsuccessful the Convention will
probablj' pass an ordinance of se-
cession and then adjourn.
Columbia Dec. p. m. There
wero four ballots taken for - Perma-
nent President of the Convention
to-day. Tho following is the re-
sult of the third ballot : Gist receiv-
ed 38 Chestnut 17;Orr 32; Jamison
64 ; with somo few scattering.'
On tho ourth ballot Mr. Jamison
received 118 ; Orr 38 ; scattering 3.
Mr. Jamison nnon taking his
chair suid that Ro1iad not sufficient
language to express his thaks for
the distinguished honor conferred.
No higher honor could be given
than that of presiding Officer over a
Convention with such subjects and
affixing his signature to its proceed-
ings. He considered the conven-
tion as engaged in tho performance
of tho most important duty which
ever divolved on-tlio State of South
Carolina the result of which was
with the Supreme Being whose as
sistance lie would now humbly im-
plore for their beloved State.
A resolution was then offered that
when tho Convention adjourned it
should meet at four o'clock to-nior-row
afternoon in Charleston.
This gave rise to a lengthy de
bate Mr. Miles appealing to the
