THE INDIANS.

In the Brownsville Flag of the oath
ult., we find the following feeling and
truly melancholy details of Indian raya-
ges:
The accounts that reach lis state that
the Indians have swept, tempest-like,
towards their own homes. They bear
with them many captives, and thousands
OF horses and mules, ladened with plund-
er, They have left broad track of de-
ISOLATION; what were once populous villa
ges are now deserted, or are the seats of
mourning.
This army when last heard from whas
moving along without opposition, gath

BY the arrival of steamboats, from towns
above, we learn that families were seen
along the whole line of the river, hurry
ing across to the Mexican side for protec-
ton. The river be- g once crossed they
are safe. Their ralchos may be burned,
their crops destroyed, their property pill
laged, their valuable stock driven off, but
their wives, themselves and their child
rem are safe from these terrible ravages.
The accounts that have reached us Of
their treatment of women and children
are heart-sickening.

hour succeeded Ill rescuing the captive
gir. The Indians had three killed and
the Mexicans three wounded; the former
losing all their plumber and horses. Since
that day the Indians have returned in
force, and now range the line with ner.
feet freedom, robbing the ranches and
destroying every thing they can lay their
hands on.
ANOTHER OUTRAaE.-A Mexican named
Resendes arrived yesterday from Mata-
moras, in company with four families who
intend settling here. On Wednesday
evening they encamped this side of the
Arroyo Colorado, and while the men
were out getting their cattle together, a
party of Indians attacked the camp and
carried off four women-two of them
mariied-and a female child two years
Old They took an old woman whipped
her nearly to death, and let her GO
When the men returned the Indians had
been gone some time, and they saw no
more of them or their unfortunate cap
tives.
The same man reported that the old
and extensive Rancho de Rosalia, above
the town of Santa Rita, on the Rio
arande, had been entirely broken up, and
and the inhabitants were making their
way to Corpus Christi. The whole Rio
Grande country, with the exception of the
large towns, is said to be completely de-
serted, and the Indians roam at will, kill
ing man and beast wherever they meet
them. The inhabitants were castino lono.
ing eyes to the Government for relief,
and we hope it may arrive before it is too
late.
AND STILL ANOTHER. Yesterday two
Mexicans, belonging to Col. McKinney's
hancho del Oso, were shot on the West
bank of the Nueces, Just above San Pa
tricio. and one of them, it is thought,
MORALLY wounded. The persons who
shot them are said to be whites, and
doubtless belong to the same gang who
stole the horses at San Patricio.
MIR. McGraw, who arrived from Lare-
do on Tuesday last, reports that he saw
an Indian camp at Paso Ancho, about
thirty-two miles from here. From the
appearances about, he judged that large
party had recently camped. Mr.. Nc
Graw encountered two Indians on the
other side of the Rio Grande, about forty
miles from Guerrero. They attacked
him at once, but being armed with a
double-b barrel gun he succeeded in beat
ing them off, wounding one. He was not
hurt, though the arrows fell around him
thick as hail. Some distance farther on
he saw'a party of ten or twelve Indians,
about mile and half off the road, but
they did not attack him.

bein, post master at Saluria, we learn that

My remarks heretofore have been so

exists to justify secession by the South,

HENRY CLAY.

AT meeting of the citizens of Trimble
county, KY, held on the 29th ultimo, at
the Court House, in the town of Bedford.
without any distinction of party, the fol-
lowing resolutions, offered by John Rob
ert, Esq. a Wing, were adopted :---Tsle-
graph.
Be it further resolved, That the doc
trines published to the world by the Hon.
Henry Clay, in relation to emancipation,
are calculated, if carried out, not only to
violate the Constitutional rights of this
Commonwealth, but greatly to injure the
condition Of tho slaves, by conupting
them.
Be it further resolved, AS the sense of
this meeting, that the opinions of the said
Henry Clay, now made manifest, upon
the subject ofabohtion or emancipation,
that he is no longer deemed a fit instru-
ment to carry out the wishes and defend
the rights ofthe good people of this Com
monwealth in the Senate of the United
States, and therefore, as the first act of
the next Legislature of Kentucky, he, the
said Henry Clay, should be formally re-
quested to resign his seat in the Senate
of the United States.

At Bath there is an excess of females over males

Viscount Hardinge, in speech at dinner to

81 900 men and ia field guns in India, and that,
with the addition of the Bombay divisions, it would
amount TO 10000 men and $50 pieces of artillery
