GERMAN COLONY IN TExAs.-We understand
that difficulty has arisen between the German
coonsts and the government respecting the number Of
contract The colonsts that all emigrants who
have arrived In the country including those who have
died before they settled the colonial grant, enti
tied to lands IL is urged the contrary that those
only who have settled within the limits Of the colony
entitled to receive lands This question Of great
Importance to thes colonsts, II Is estimated that up
wards Of q thousand emigrants have been sent from
Europe to Texas who have not settled in the colony
The expenses Of transporting them to Texas have
betrayed by the company and large have been
pended to support them after their with the uti
mate object Of settling them upon the colonial tract
Many OF them have died and others have refused
to the colony and have settled In other portions
the State few have emigrsed to other States Of the
Union The main object Of Legislators in passing
the law relative to this colonial grant encourage
with view to strengthen the frontier settle
ments against the savages Those settlements are now
sufficiently strengthened by the military posts which
the general government has established and 80 far as
the interests Of the State affected 1t is after of
little importance whether those emgrsnts located
both reasonable and just that the coouiss should
be entitled to receive lands those who have died on
voyage Texas while the journey to the colony:
for they had died after reaching the colonial tract
State would have derived advantage from this cir
cumstance 1t Is evident however, that the colonsts
once permitted to set up claim for emgrants who
never reached the colony, door will be opened for
fraud 1t will be exceedingly difficult to furnish salts
factory evidence respecting the number Of emigrants
who died on the journey.-Houson (Te1as) Telegraph,

1he Flag OF the 9th ut., gives further accounts
from Santa Annals army They were communicated
by letter dated from Tula the 1lth of March, writ
ten by Mexican officer to friend in Matamoros
The letter says Santa Anna arrived at San Louis Po-
tosi on the 9Th ult. He returned at the head of a
remnant of one of the divisions of the army with
which he marched to attack Gen. Taylor-the re-
naming two divisions having marched in directions
where food might be procured for the famsLing SOL
dlery. The writer remarks of the battle and retreat
We have suffered far greater loss than in any en-
gagemen ever before fought in the country-upwards
OF four thousand were left the battle field or died
on the rereat-the army destitute of provisions
of any kind and the soldiers rendered ferocious
by their privauons and sufferings, dssfection is
widespread throughout the ranks and may saw the
letter also mentions the death of several citizens of
Maiamoros, officers in the Mexican army, who were
killed in the late battle. Us
Gen. Taylor arrived at Monterey on the 9th of
March with the lst Mississippi Rifles and the Ken
lucky Cavalry as an escort, and from an article in
the American Pioneer "a paper published at Monte
rey) we infer that he was yet there on the 18th.
What day he left Monterey we are not informed but
all accounts agree that he in pursuit of General
Urea. We extract from letter in the Flag dated
Camargo, the 22d ut., which purporis to derive its
information from Major McCuIloch
Old lack is down on this side of the mountains,
hunting up Urea with sharp stick. The old hero
is wrohy at being assaed in his rear and having his
bread carts demolished, and if he but laws hands on
the Mexican general will fay him alive. Urea will
doubtless effect his escape for he would sooner meet
the devil with odds than old Zack At the last ac-
counts he was at Lnares making straight shoot

The Indiana Brigade.

Various anonymous letter-writers and whig news
papers have made the sweeping and disgraceful char
ges OF cowardce and desertion of standard against
the Indiana troops during the late bloody battle at
Buena Vista Some have stated that they quailed
and faltered when first ordered to charge the enemy
but admit that they afterwards rallied and did brave
and gallant service; have asserted that so ap
Paied and hesltating were they that Adj. Gen. Lin
coin was shot down by the enemy while attempting
to rally them and that he spen; his last breath in re-
preaching Indiana cowardce;'' aud correspondent
OF he New Orleans Tropic. writing the sigma
ture ''Buena VISTA, makes both these last charges
and adds to them that our troops or portion of them
ingorously fled in disorder to SaltiIlo, seven miles
from the scene of action, and reported that General
Taylor defeated The first charge may possibly
be true, since nothing is more common, even amongst
the best and bravest men, than that they should be
seized BY momentary panic when entering INTO battle
for the first time; but sm what we can gather from
all quarters we feel confident in pronouncing all such
charges as is made by the Tropics correspondent
bGsely slanderous Gen Taylor brings no such charge
against the Indiana volunteers his official despatch
es; Gen. Lane. Rndeg whose immediate eye they
fought for two days, has written letter since the
battle which We see published in the N. A. Democrat,
In terms Of enthusiasm of his men Maj. Coffee who
brought the dispatches of Gen. Taylor for the gov
ernment, IN conversation with the editor of the
o. Delta bore testimony to the good conduct of the
Indiana troops, and we therefore conclude that the
author of the slanderous charges is some regular
otcer, who has made them from interested or spite
ful motives. member of the Mississippi Rifles

If 1t were necessary to defend the honor and good
name OF our brave and selfsacrifcing volunteers we
could place the guilt Of fleeing before the face of the
enemy in quite different quarter, but it is not, and
we refrain from doing in the hope that on other
fields the really guilty may retrieve the fame which
they lost at Buena Vista

about fifteen miles, to town called Santa Cruz, at

The United States has thus lost one of the bravest

He went ahead of his company, and. met the enemy
face to face, and fought with much bravery as was
possible for a man to fight, until he received the
wound, when he was taken from the field. The fight

and fired, when the rascally towards fed from their
mansion towards the mountains, but Capt ST. Vrains

victory won. From one hundred and fifty to two
hundred were killed, and the number Of wounded

troops have all returned, except such as are stationed
in Taos.
An express has this day arrived here from Colonel

has not yet arrived in chihuahua and that ten thou

not there upon his arrival he will have some hard
