DESPERATE ENGAGEMENT.

1t has been noticed in this paper, that bloody
and desperate engagement took place, of late,
near the Pinto Trace on the borders of Texas,
between fourteen men under COL HAYS, and
seventy-fve Cumanches.-A letter in Houston
(Texas) paP2f gives the following interesting
particulars Of the fight:
The Texans advanced slowly, the Indians
falling back until they crowned the hill, where
they dismounted, formed in line, and secure in
the strength of their position, called to HAYS as
he approached, +" Charge! Charge!" When the
Texans reached the foot ofthe hill, from the ma
ture of the ground they were concealed from
the view of the Indians. At that point HAYS
wheeled his little band at full speed some two or
three hundred yards around the base of the hill,
ascended it at the same place, gained the level
ground above and made his appearance at full
charge on the flank of the Indians in the direc-
ton in which they little expected to see him.
They at once leaped on their horses, and before
they were we'll prepared to receive him, be was
in their midst.-The Indian line gave way when
the shock of the charge struck it, but wheeling
on each flank they charged the Texans, with
wild yells, sure of their prey, since ON horse
back they deemed themselves invincible. But
never before had they encountered any thing
like discipline. Back to back the Texans re-
ceived them, and the close and deadly aim of
their pistols and yaugers emptied many saddle.
Thus, hand to hand The fight lasted some fifteen
minutes, the Indians using their spears and ar
rows, the Texans their repeatingn pistols.
Scarcely man of this little band who was not
grazed by spear Or arrow, their gun stocks, knife
handles and saddles perforated in many places
Walker and Galespie, two of Hays band, were
speared through and through, and several were
wounded Ii was too hot to last.-The Indians
fell back, closely pressed by the whites Again
and again were they rallied by their Chief
whose voice, after the first onset, was alone
heard, directing their movements, only again to
be routed, losing in each well contested con-
hict, some of their bravest warriors.
The pursuit had now been pressed for nearly
two miles The Texans had loaded their arms
in detail, some nalting for that purpose, whilst
others hung on the Iear of the enemy. The In
dians had made their last rally, reduced in num-
bers to about thirty-ive, and were driven back
with great loss, when the voice of their Chief
again rose high, exhortng them to turn once
more, dashed backwards and forwards amongst
his men, Go bring them back to the charge.
The Texans had exhausted nearly all their shot
Hays called out TO know which of them had
loaded gun. Gallespie rode forward and an
swered that he was chGrged.-" Dsmount, and
shoot the Chef' was the order. AT distance
of thirty steps the ball did its ofiice.--Madly
dashng few yards the gallant Indian fell to
rise no more, and in wild alright at the loss of
their leader the others scattered in every direc-
ton in the brushwood

Protection 10 the Girls.

From the speech Of Dr. Duncan, of Ohio, de-
livered in the House of Representatives, May 6,
1914, on the real protective system, we make an
IeXtract We are decidedly in favor of that
kind of protection recommended by DR.. Duncan.
The Western girls seems to be very Indifferent
with regard 10 the importance or necessity of
protection. If the girls to the East, would but
follow the advice Of Dr. Duncan, and come out
West, they will find hundreds of our Western
Pioneers, ready and willing 10 extend TO them
the 0~7- Of protection. We are of the opinion,
that if several hundred of the girls to the East,
were to cnjgrate West, it would at once create
a kind of home competition among the Western
Nadenoi&eIlcs. They would probably " stay
comtcd" So mote it be.
"lt has been urged that the protective system
gives employment to hundreds and thousands of
poor and destitute girls in the eastern and manu-
featuring States, who could not otherwise get
employment This is 10 reason for the exis-
tence of a policy which violates the original
compact between the States and the General
Government, and oppress thousands where it
benefits tens, If there are poor girls in the East,
let them be sent West, where there is demand
for girls. They can all get husbands in the
West, who will relieve them from poverty and
destituton. They can all get men for husband
men who can fulfil all the purposes of husbands;
their husbands shall be men not things, but
men, not wasp-waisted coxcombs, and tightlaced
soap-ock dandcs. They may not have the quail
ifcations for handing lady a seat, presenting
her handkerchief, unfurling her paraso, swing
ing her in the gddy waltz, or turning the cotilli-
on with as good grace as an eastern ape of the
fashionable circles; but they will be men with
good hearts, and more brains than whiskers, tho
they may not be ornamened on the surface of
the interior maXillary with the imperial spot,
nor have the external surface of the superior
organs of speech mounted with pair Of musta-
ches; yet they will have many faces indexng
sound head and an aiIectionate heart.n

The above woollcns were manufactured out o.
wool sheared from the sheep last year; for as a
farmer, you know you shcared your sheep the
last of May, Or the present month, June, and il
is impossible for them to make them in ten or
fifteen days from the sleeps back-so there is
no excuse on that head.
No, ask you, is your corn, rye, anhcat, oats
and potatoes, which you raise by the sweat Of
your brow, higher, so that you can afford TO pay
such enormous prices? and are you, as a farmer,
with the mechanic and day laborer, going to put
up--yes, say, PIT up-with such abomnable
imposition? | trust not, | cannot believe you

These are American manufactured goods $

who it is that are so greatly benefited by the

Now, one word more. If you 90 into a man

asks fifteen cents yard for calcoes he can sell
at profit at ten cents yard, he immediately
replies that you can't import them at the present

Their faces in the passing cloud!

For as truth lives, another night
