AN AFFECTING TALE.

McCuIluch Rangers after a hard days ride
had bivouacked one night last summer in a
beautiful mesqut grove between Reynosa 9iejo
and Camargo, barranca protecting one side OF
the cncampment from q surprise while the steep
banks of the Rio Grande served the same pur-
pose on the other. The horses had all been
watered fed and curried, the irst relief oil the
guard posted, and the Rangers, after drinking
their coffee, were reclining about on their BIN
kets spinning long yarns Of their adventures
when Bill Dean told story that wound up the
entertainments of the evening, IN theatrical
parlauce ,and ca used an outbreak at the termln-
arion that came nigh stampeding the entire cav
allade Bill had Joined McCulloch's men for
the. and the reecolI ection of his humorous tale
about chasing the prairie fire mile and half,
trying to cook his horse meat, secured him a
most patieut hearing.
Those who know anything about the emigra-
ton of Germans into Texas, are we'll aware that
thousa nds of them have made Indian Point, near
Port Lavaca grand rendezous before leaving
for the interior settlement OF New Brauniels
or the frontier stationed the Pierdeaales, the
Lanano or the San Saba. Bill said that ne Wis
| tied the Point Iast spring when some five thou
tsand Germans were eneamped there and
was present at one Of the most thrilling ant
heartrending scenes il had ever been his lot &c
witness. So far as his individual knowledge
went, neither ancient nor modern history made
mention of any case which might be considered
any where near parallel.

TRIBUTE TO GEN. HARRISON.

The St. Louis Republican gives in the pre-
cesdngs of The Illinois Legislau ure, the follow
ing notice Of compliment to the memory of
this grea, and good man:
"As soon as the House met, in the after
noon, the bill 10 form a new county from the
counties OF Sangamon. Morgan, and Macoup-
in, was called up. The bill proposed 10 call
the new county 'sPolk." eR
Mr. Linde. proposed TO strike oui Polk and
insert Taylor.
Judge Logan, who has been reconciled 10
the bill by some compromise, then moved TO
insert the name of Harrison and accompanied
his motion with some eloquent remaks.
MIR. Linder joined Judge Logan; and hav-
ing withdrawn the name Of Taylor, paid
beautiful tribute TO the memory Of Gen. Har-
rison.
Mr.: Archer, of Clark, who had been SOL
dier under the General, also made some very
feeling expressions of pleasure, and the new
coniry was thus chrisiened, the members
rising in their seats as they voted. II was
gratifying to see body of men. so thorough
ly Democratic as is this House, lay aside
all party feeling, and pay this ulbute of re-
spect t. The memory of one of the most
chrshed soas OF the Union -

Gen. Taylor, while at Aqua Nueva, %
miles from Saltillo, with 5000 men, was al
lacked, on the 22d ult. by Mexican force
of $4,000. Finding that he could not main
tain his position, he made good his retreat 10
Saltillo, covering his wagon train. Here
severe engagement took place in the streets
in which the Mexicans suffered heavy loss.
After destroying what Of the public stores he
could not transport, he continued his retro
gade movement on Monterey until he
reached the Rinconada pass, where he was
again attacked, but successfully defended
himself Here all the rumors, reports and
letters leave him. Once in Monterey, and
he would be safe, bat his ability 10 accom-
plish this much was altogether problematical
as the Mexicans were swarwing in every di.
rection. A merchant in Camargo, under
date of the 25th ui., writes TO his fliend in
this place: 3a-i.asa $50 =.
"Three expresses to-day from Monterey;
fighting in Sahillo; Marin in Mexican pos
session; large train of wagons, l26, and $50
private mules taken; 5000 cavalry this side
the mountains, and things in general turned
upside down" From another source we
learn that Col. Morgan had Abandoned Ger
ralvo destroyed all property he could not
take with hun; that courier from Monterey
reported, al Camargo, 1900 Mexicans be-
tween the two places, and that 5000 more
were in The neighbohood Of Victoria.
