The Galveston News says, that the re-
ports at Port Layacca were that twenty
six persons in all had been killed by the
Indians. The publisher Of the Layacca
Herald had, for the time being, left his

went in pursuit of-the Indians. The
greatest trepidation prevailed amongst
the people, and fears were entertained
that the Indians would attack and fire the
town, but the arrival Of Government
troops contributed greatly towards quiet
ing their apprehensons.
The Advocate says, that the Indians, az
ter killing thirteen men, wounding sever
al others, and taking vast amount OF
property, have escaped, and arc now
most probably in their mountain homes.

men from San Antonio, that a set Of des-
