citizens of Montgomery and Taunall for

LATER.
Mr.. Coulter, who arrived 10 the Ber-
uand, from The Missouri, furnishes later
aud somewhat different details in regard
to the death of Lieut.. Brown and his men.
That officer, with McClenaham and Qus-
enberry, and Mexican guide, LETT camp
in pursuit of persons who had stolen bor-
ses from them. They did not return, and
on The 5thiof July, information was re-
ceived from a Mexican woman, lha, they
had been murdered, and their bodies burnt.
Major Edmondson, on receiving this
news, took measures 10 avenge their death.
He marched with some sixty men, and a
howizer, agains, the Iowu where the
enorn.ities were committed, and discovered
that The inhabitants were flying to 'he
mountains. He commanded them to stop,
but as they did not do so, he fired upon
them. killing six, wounGing several others.
and taking forty OIL fifty prisoners. From
some Of The prisoners il was aScerlained
that the bodies of two Of the Americans
were burnt, aud that the body Of Lieut..
Brown, who had The emblem Of the cross
on his neck, and was supposed. from the
circumstance, to be Catholic, was in The
mountains, where it was afterwards found.
Al the houses Of Persous concerned in the
murder were burned to the ground by
order of the Majnr, Some Of The articles of
property lost inthe engagement, at tine Red
River canon were found at this place,
showing that some of the inhabitants, al
least, were participants in that affair.
Lieut., Larkins and. privaIes Owens,
Wright. Mason, and Wilkinson, belonging
to a grazing party Of Lieut., Col. Wilcox 5
battalion, were Surprised about daylight on
the morning Of the 9th July, and killed.
Lieut.. Brown, whose murder by the Mex
leans we have announced above, was
son Of Robt. T. Brown, of Perry county,
in this State. Young nehemiah was
from ST. Genevieve; aud young Quisen-
berry was a volunteer from this county, the
son of Mr.J. Il. Guisenberry.
The news will fall with crushing
weight upon his parenls-lor he was a
young man Of excellent qualities aud
greatly beloved by those who knew him.
His return had been looked for, fer some
Time, aud, trusting that he had escaped
from all the dangers Of the service in
which he had been engaged, we learn that
his mother, with all mothers care for
her children, had prepared his room for
him, even in the most minute particulars
necessary for his comfort.

that there was another conspiracy on foot
10 bring about massacre and revelation
