CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE MExIcANs AND INDIANS
From the New Orleans PicKyune, Dec ~
Our latest advices from ssltlo told of conflict be-
tween the Texan Rangers and a band Of Camanches
Mexico find several letters from San Luis Potos de-
scribing actions between the Indians and Mexican
troops The ssvagss had boldly approached within
gagement the Mexicans had fifty infantry and thirty
Dragons engaged The party was completely cut to
pieces only eight Of the dragons escaping with their
lives and Ave Of these being woundsd Another en-
gsgement took place between the Indians and one hun
drsd dragons of the 4th Regiment of cavalry which
The aght occurred at Mingoe, and the dragons
completely routed seventy being killed among whom
The survivors Of this fight at last joined Avslos.
In letter from this general, we have report
were more successful With a force Of about
400 cavalry he writes the 18th OF November that he
that morning attacked body from $40 to $40 Indians
In the hacienda Of San Juan del Salado The action be-
gan at ve In the morning and terminated at two In the
atterno n, (the date OF the generals letter Only
thirty or forty Indians then left In the interior
the hacienda, whom he will be necessary to de-
stroy as they refuse to surrender and defend
savsgey All the rest he says pershed the very small
number who He'd finding escape impossible on account OF
the difficulty Of the country, the hills &c. The Mexi
recovered two thousand horses and set ut liberty
over two hundred women and children who had beer
captured The loss Of the Mexicans was small though
several officers wounded, and Gen. Avaos had hi
horse shot under him.
It Is calculated that in their incursons into the Stat

TO those who have been close observers Of tho prac

perfectly obvious that has not only failed to accomplish
the objects for which 1t ostensbIy intended but that
affords greater latitude for the abuses which
charged upon the former system-comprehendipg the
watch department and the marshals appointed by the
Mayor special police ocers-while the increased and
support Of nine hundred men, who have justly been char
acterzed by our present Mayor producers affords
corresponding benefit either to the efscual sup
preston Of crimes the detection of criminals to the
morals OF the community. That this Ia true may be
readily determined by brief examination Of the system
Its working tendencies and the mode In which 1t is
ducted The FIRST general objection is that some hun
dred men are In Office as policemen, each and all
OF whom are required to give their whole lime, excu
.ively, and are forbid to follow or be interested
In any business or employment. These men
required, as 1t 10 said, to watch the city day
and nght-that Is to say, twothrds of each day and
beats while Ia the day time many OF them posted at
certain corners Of the streets where they may be

The following particulars connected with
the wreck of the sch. Caroline, of Saco, are
from the Boston Traveller of Tuesday:
IA Horrible Story of Shipwreck.
"In another column will be found an &C.
count from the Philadelphia papers, of the ar
rival there of the survivors from the wreck of
schr. Caroline, Capt VIM. Smith, bound from
Savannah for Bath. Capt Smith arrived in
this city this morning, from Philadelphia in
the brig Sum- and from his lips we have gath
cred the following account of this horrible af-
fair
"Captain Smith states that he left Tyhee
Light, mouth of the Savannah River, Oct. "a.
On the Goth, took heavy gale of wind from
N. E. and sprung a leak, in lat. 80 43, Ion. II.
Laid to all that day. At P. M. was thrown

but tremendous sea prevented them from
rendering us any assistance. Our provisions
and water were all stored in the trunk cabin
on deck, save one barrel of water in the run.
BY the disaster, both provisions and water
were carried overheard, save the latter, which
it was impossible to get at. Thus we were
without either foou or drink.
sour only shelter was one berth, which re-
manned of the cabin on deck, the hold being
fill of water. Three days after, Henry
Hughes, one of the crew, went OIL deck, and
was never seen afterwards he was probably
washed overheard.
On the Sd inst. we caught water enough
from the rain to last twenty-four hours. From
that time to the 10th, were totally without
water or food. and began to feel as if death
VA, very near us. The gale had lastad days.
We had had morning to eat for ten, or to drink
f,r six days. We then began to discuss the
question of drawn 6 lots to see who should
snffer death to save the lives OF the others
