The Star of the 18th instant has the following
paragraphs:
A train of six or eight wagons left here last
Thursday, heavily laden with merchandise for the
Monterey market. The danger of the roads is such
that an escort was obliged to accompany them
A party Of twelve Me1icans left here few days
ago and returned yesterday, having caught and
brought in over two hundred wild horses or mus
tangs, many Of which are the finest we have ever
seen Of that kind of horses. We would urge our
Mexican friends to observe the utmost caution at
this time as their lives are in constant danger from
the lurking savage.
A private express rider, in from Rio Grande City
this morning, reports that he saw several Indian
trails leading to different points in our neighbor
hood. We think if the Government had their all
at stake, as our citizens have, Indian trails and
Indian Expectations would be less frequent
We learn from Mr. Goodall, who arrived here on
Thursday from Gen. Cazneau's train, that the
General had succeeded in getting everything cons
necied with the expedition in the most perfect order,
and that nothing now offers to impede It's steady
progress. Mr. g. reports the road the best he has
ever travelled over in Texas. He left the train
about eighty or ninety miles from here-halE Way
to the Leona. Mr.. Goodal in companv with Mr.
Charles Callahan, Capt Rudler, and several other
persons, lett here yesterday to rejon Gen Cazneau
We have been informed by gentlemen lust from
Monterey, Mexico, that three men, John Snively,
| nephew of Col Snivey0 John Thomas and a Mr.
Adams, were murdered bya party ofMexiCans, with
whom they were travelling, on the road between
Aqua Leguas and Guerrero. One of the Mexicans,
under the pretence of shooting turkeys, obtained
possession of Adams gun, the contents of which
he discharged at Adams, killing him Instantly
others Of the party killed Snively and morally
wounded Thomas, his dead body having been
found about three miles from the scene of the ont
rage The Alcalde of Guerrero was made ac-
qualnled with the circumstances, and he imme-
dlately took measures for their arrest
Capt Everitt, belonging to Mr.. Redmond's party
Just from Monterey, Salinas, Sabinas and Mier
reports that they crossed an Indian trail about so
miles this side OF Mier, which was made, he thinks
by Thirty or forty Indians They were proceeding
towards Rio Grande City. They will no doubt do
all the stealing they in that quarter and attempt
TO finish off here. Mr. Redmond learns that the
Indian depTedatiOns in the neighborhoods of Sabi-
mas ana Salinas, and in that region of country
extending to the north and west, have been Of a
most atr0cious and bloody character-many lives
lost, ranches broken up, an immense amount of
property stolen, and women and children carried
into captivity.
The Star of the 18th furnishes US with the fol-
lowing
The line of stages between this place and San
Antonio has been discontinued in consequence Of
the mpOssbiliy of keeping relays of horses on the
route, over twenty animals having already been
stolen. from the proprietors by the Indians.
mail route was established a few months ago
between this place and Laredo. 1t has been dis
continued by the Postofice Department for reasons
nnkpown to US. The military commander at La
redo and the citizens Of Corpus Christi anxious to
keep up this communication, have established a
weekly mail at their own expense.
We have been allowed to read letter received
here day or two ago by friend, dated June 3d.
from San Diego, on the Pacific. The writer left
here the latter part of February, and says that he
made the distance from Eagle Pass to San Diego
in fifty travelling days. Eagle Pass is 200
miles from here, and may be easily made in eight
days He expresses the opinion that a well consti-
tuled party may travel from this place to San Diego
by way OF FL Paso, in sixty five days, including all
necessary stoppages.
