III the Austin Democrat Of the 18th

ligencc:
Maj r. s. Ne,ghbors, special agent,
arrived in town on Sunday from Torrey's
Trading House.-T'o him we are indebt-
"a for the following information in rela-
ton to the movements Of the various In
dian tribes on our frontier.
The Indians, with whom we are in
treaty, are all friendly. Jack Harry,
Delaware chief, arrived at the trading
house On the Goth, direct from the Ca
manche camp, and Major y. received
the esTaks" of the friendly Camanche
CHIEFS bv h,m. They inform him that
Ne theft on the San Antonia road was
committed by the ':Ten-a-wish'' band Of
Camanchcs. As soon as the friendly
chiefs learned that the depreciation wa.
committed, they followed the thieving
band, and recovered all the stolen h0r-
srs, and have the balance in their camp,
r"aAv 10 give up. They say they ar"
determined to abide by the stipulation Of
their treaty.
'i'aoro Is at present a very large party
ofthp Prairie Indians assembled on the
head waters ofthe Brazos, consisting Of
I'll the upper bands OF Camanchcs, kio-
wavy, Tan-pa-rlh-kas, Mus-ka-le-ros,

nothing Of the difficulties between the
Camanchcs and Delawarcs, recently mem

parts OF the State. All the Indian tribes
were perfectly quiot--no difficulties OK
