Mr.. Editor-Since your paper came into ex-
isience. IL has recorded several murders and
other ou,ages committed by the Winnebagoes
upon the withstand unless something is
done by the general government, will undoubt-
eddy have many others 10 notice in addition to
one jus, committed.
A few days ago an Indian visited the house
Of Mr.. Broadman. living 10 the Turkey riv.
er settlement, he had some words with Mr..
d. but went away--at night he returned and
called at tho door. Mr. b. opened il, and as he
did so, the Indian sho, him dead. About 7
o'clock last evening, an express arrived at
Fort Atkinson, informing Captain Sumner of
tho fact Copt, y. without a momenIs delay
sent detachment Of his dragons with orders
to travel a, speed all night, and to arrest the
murderer il possible--and also to remove such
Indians as were then in the settlements.

Our Army i'm Texas.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Der.

arrived mere Gay before yesterday
in the steamer Neava from st. Jo-
seph's. Coney Island rolled out aud
covered with marshy grass is fair
picture Of St. Joseph's. All it can
boast of is its immense quantity and
variety of game. The only curiosity
that arrested my attention between
this and st. Joseph's, were exposed
oyster beds and hocks of wild fowl
This place is rather more progresses
ing. The army, under General Tay-
lor, are encamped on the Peninsula,
bounded on the north, east and west
by water, and on the south by high
bluff land. The encampment, con-
sisting Of Artillery, Infantry and ORA
goons, is about three miles long, and
presents quite warlike, picturesque,
romantic-or whatever the novelist
might choose to call it-appearance.-
They are organized into three Brigsdes,
and are fixing up TO such an extent In
the way of drilling and other camp
minu,ie, that it is supposed the earth
will be stopped on its axsis. The mil
itary aspirants, who came down here
eager for blood and promotion, are very
much disappointed at the bursting of
the bubble. and determined to wreak
their vengence on the Lords soil by
trampling it down with us human BIZ
peds. The enemy are mon est inven-
tus," and thus heavy sadness hangs on
the countenance of each. There is
no hope of war, brush, or skirm-
ish. The army of occupation has been
resolved into Corps for Instruction,
and the consequence is an entire pros
tration of the mental organs, to the ex-
elusive sway and ruin of the physical.
1t is generally believed that the army
will remain here for the present, but no
one seems 10 know any thing of our
future destination. Wood and water
being scarce, it is very probable that a
movement in some direction must ere
long take place. Fresh beef is cheap
and abundant. Game of almost every
description can be had within short
distance; wild geese and ducks are fly
T ing over the camp every morning low
enough to be reached by a common
shot gun. Take it all in all, with the
exception OF fies-the most pestilen-
tial of all winged insects-the position
/ is very comfortable for soldiers. The
days are extremely hot and nights ex-
ces~iveIy cold. This, in conjunction
with the bad water, which we are
obliged TO dig for, and which is nothing
more than salt water, when found
breeds sort of diarrhea or dysentery.
which is very prevalent in camp.
Should any thing of importance take
place, will Immediately acquaint you
of the fact.
