Mr.. Brooks has cut up the bush. and
removed them 20 his garnet, where

MOBILE, pril 25.-Rumor, land we have ~,
doubt, the dest and most ridiculous of all rumor, :
brought by a steam boat, which came dawn RaJ
River, reports that Gen. Gaines had ruch, ,Lo
Indians, who were crossing into Texas 10 ion
Santa Anna, and was defeated. 1t is not yrry
probable that Gen. Gaines, an experienced Ind.
an fighter, with handful of raw recruits vonM
make battle upon IA body OF savagcs sufficiently
strong to risk "A defeat. We are tired. bcarrily
so, of publishing such simple reports, which keen
the public mind constantly excited without lead
ing to any good result.
Col. Darlington, of this State, who is rcportcJ
by the n. Orleans Bulletin To have arrived in
that city, furnishes by far tie most gratifying IN
tellieence from the Mexican army that we have
yet received. He represents Gen. Houston, to
have an aggregate force of 250O men, daily in
crcasing and still encamped on the West side of
the Brasos. They are in high spirits preparing
to give Santa Anna battle. Col. ID. net 500
volunteers on their way TO DIN Houston. Men,
women and children have abandoned and destroy.
cd their habitatons, and have returned to this
country or joined the army for protection. The
Mexican army was encamped ON the Colorado.
Colonel Darlington left General Gaines at Wi.
kinson's old Camp with GOO men. The mhabi.
tants of NachocheS had offered very liberal sup.
plies for the fugitive women and children from
Texas. The Indians were openly hostile and
preparing to Join Santa Anna. He bad given a
comm ssion with bounty to Bowles, the Indian
Chcitain, to marshal and equip his tribe. Should
he be reinforced by large body of these Navagc',
who are daring and terocionS, the fate Of the Tex
ans may be dcplorallc indeed.
The schooner Bonita arrived in New Orlean,
on the 22d inst from Tampico, with 100000 in
specie on board. There was great rejoicing at
the success of Santa Anna. No other mtei-

CHEERING FROM TEXAS.

BY Major Horton, who came passenger in the

that 1900 Mcxcans had crossed the Colorado, 500
men at San Felipe " 400 at Fort Bend; thatGen.
llouson's effective force was $500. The Col
srado had overlooked lis banks, and the 1900
MeXicans cannot retreat. Houston had despatch
ed Maj. Baker, with 100 men against 400 Mex
cans, & was advancing himself with his whole force
upon the Mexican division, whose retreat to Tho
main army was impossible.
The total destruction OF 1900 MexICans is GER
tain, and all was Joy and confidence at the Seat Of

There is hope, but nothing like a sanauine

has been communicated to Gen. Scott of the In

mise that the Indians will be found in the path we
