RETIREMENT OF Col. HAys-The gallant Hays,
who has carried his life in his hand Tor the last zen
years, and perhaps brayed death oftener IN that
time than any other man--wfose services ~ the
Texas than those of any other citizen, Is 81 s%lgtit
about retire, and reposing on his aure!s, winch
he seems TO wear unconsclousy so modest Is ms
bearing, seek in the bosom of his family the re-
pose and enjoyment to which he is 50 well entlted,
We find the following notice ofhis intention " we
Austin Democrat: I've learn from a reliable
source that Col Hays intends visiting Washington
city in short time, for the purpose OF settling his
accounts with the Government and retiring from
service Circumstances OF private nature are SAID
to have induced this determination on his part, tie
has spent the prime OF his life in active service upon
the frontier Of Mexico. ANY one at all conversant
with military life is aware how difficult it IL tor
man of kind heart and hospitabe disposition to save
much of army earnings. The security OF the IRON
tier, and the probability OF peace with Mexico pre-
clude the possibility of the entertainment OF an idea
that the colonel retires at time when his country
requires him in the field Notwithstanding The mo-
tives impeling him to prepare for the future wants
of domestic circle are high and holy yet no man
would abandon the pursuits of private life win
more cheerfuness and fly with more alacrity to
the tented field, should the notes of the hoarse
bugle announce forward of the army, or danger
threaten the frontier. Col Hays will carry with
him in his retirement the kind wishes OF his com
panons in arms, and the gratitude OF people upon
whose frontier he has stood like tower OF strength
in the days of dark adversely. Galveston Cartan
THE SEVENTEEN DEcIMATED TEXANS Mr.
Dusenberry arrived in this city by the schooner
McNeel, on the Goth inst, having in charge the re-
mains of the seventeen Texans who were murdered
at SaIado, the 25th March, lS43, by order Of Santa
Anna. These remains were procured by MIR. Du-
senbury with the assistance of some of his cOmpa-
mons in the unfortunate Mier expedition, who have
been serving with the army under General Wool.
Being themselves spectators of the horrible tragedy
and of the place of interment of their companions.
whose fate they barely escaped in the lottery of
life and death, they of course knew where to find
the remains. The place of burial at Salado was
some hundred miles beyond the line prescribed in
the late armstice and of course they ran corlsde-
rable risk in going so far TO perform this sacred
duty, which, however, they accomplished success
fully by taking advantage Of the night and Of their
intimate knowledge of the country. The following
are the names of fifteen of the decimated two not
now being recollected Capt. Eastland, Lieutenant
McThompson, j. d. Cock, Thos. l.. Jones, JAMES
Torrey, Mr. Estis, Henry Whaling, John Cash.
Mr.. Wing, Mr.. Ogden, Mr. Dunham Mr.. Mayhan,
Mr.. Harris, Mr.. Turnbull, and Mr.. Shepherd. The
last named escaped the first massacre, but was after
wards taken and shot at Salho. We believe it is
intended to entomb the remains in beautiful and
picturesque place apart for that purpose at La
grange Galveston Ne,ps.
IMPORTANT ARREsT-On the night of the 10th
instant a man named John Brown, was arrested by
Charles l.. Hall. pursuant to warrant issued
by ]. r. Dnfrocq J. p on board the steamboat Sa-
vannah, at Baton Rouge Landing, accused of
having free negroes in his possession held by himas
slaves; and further of having kidnapped said be-
groes. On the 18th said Brown was brought for
examination before j. r. Dufrocg, Justice of the
peace and the freedom of the slaves having been
partially established ON that examination and the
other charges being also partly sustained, the court
ordered him to be remanded for ten days until
evidence could be procured from Memphis, Ten
nessee. On the 10Th the prosecuting party having
declined to send for further evidence, the magis-
trate ordered Brown to be discharged, the evidence
being insufficient to commit him for trial-Baton
