the Indian stations above Austin, that the
Camanche Indians had made an attack

The traders had to abandon it, leaving
their property to the mercy of the sava-
gcs.
It's also reported that the Camanche
Nation have held n council of war aid
come to the conclusion Of commencing
hostilities upon our frontier settlements.
They state that one of their principal
chiefs was killed upon the Nueces by
party of mcricans, whilcNon an excur-
sion TO this portion of Texas--an cxcur-
sion of pleasure, we presume, such as
numbering our citizens, ahducting women
and childicn and stealing horses. Tie
chief undoubtedly belonged to that parry

published ina previous nun! err. Should

From the Jacksonville News, Sept 90.
The following extract from a letter Of
Mr. Kennedy of Tampa to gentlemen
ofthi3 place, dated Sept. 18th gives the
latest Intelligence we have of the move
mcnts on the frontier: ,
"Gen. Twiggs left here on Saturday
last for Charlotte Harbor carrying with
him the messenger sent in by Bowlegs:
he expects there TO meet the Indians in
council and have talk. get the four law
breakers, bring them here and hang them.
Time will show how this talk ends, and I
Judge the same old tune will be once more
sung Of eve want rations for families,
and horse to blino family ir."
Yours truly, f.
Information was brought here yester-
day by Col. Andrews, q. S. PeyInaster,
who passed this place on his way north,
that Gen. Twiggs mad received full au-
thority from the Government to muster
such companies Of the Florida yolunteers
into the service of the u. States as he
deemed fit The whole matter it appears
is left TO his judgement whether to mus,
ter them or not, and tho whole responsi.
hility is thrown upon his shoulders. We
apprehend that Gen, Twiggs will not fear
to undertake such responsibility, and that
he has by this time ascertained the aeces.
