INDIAN DEPREDATIoNsg-W condense from
the Western Texian OF the It'll inst, the following
items concerning late Indian depredations, for
which that paper is indebted to Gen. Brooke A
party Of six Indians killed Mexican near Laredo,
the 23d ult Lieut.. Viee started in pursuit, but
was unable to come up with the marauders About
the same time Lieut.. Hudson pursued party Of
Indians at Fort MeIntosh, and had a running fight
with them for several miles. He rescued Mexican
boy, whom the Indians had taken above Laredo
The lad stated that another boy, taken at the same
time, was killed and scalped. The Indians, he
said, belonged to the Tah-wah-eo-nee tribe, and
were about sixty strong, but had divided party
going into the lower country. An escort re-
turning from the Eagle Pass was attacked by In
dams twenty-five miles west OF Leona.' One OF
the soldiers was killed, and the others (some four
in number) escaped. A soldier wife, in company,
and the driver of carriage, are supposed to have
fallen into the hands of the Indians. There are
now four scouts out between San Antonio and the
Rio Grande in hot pursuit of the savages.

CosMos--A Sketch ofe Physical Description

it are embodied the results of long life devoted 10
the Study Of science, not at second hand, through
books, but by actual observation in all parts of the
world. This work is a perfect treasure house of

1t is beautifully got up by MIR. Bohn, the enter
prising and public spirited book publisher who is

tons OF the most valuable works. We Shall speak

The book is to be found at Morgan's and Whites,

Prof Garlands lectures will find this work OF great
advantage at the moment and one which will lose

Nh SEwARp's SpREcH.-Mr. Stewards speecl
was thoroughly Nortbern-we may say Abolition
and think in bad taste, especially at the presen
time when it is so necessary that there should be
4 forbearance.
According to the report Of his speech published
in the Republic, he is opposed toall the compromi-
ses which have been offered, and in fact to all e-
gislative compromise. In reference to the compro-
mise of Mr. Clay, he said:
"What did this compromise offer TO him For foFbear.
ance slavery in the District of Columbafor iorbear
the Teroretor fobearance to slavery everySherehe
offered freedom California where freedom was al.
ready established. For small portion of human rights this
compromise required him to use Ofbeance towards slavery
everywhere
This, says the Baltimore Clipper, is not the Ian
guage OF a patriot-of man DESTROYS to preserve
the Union, but of fanatic who is resolved to en-
force his opinions even at the hazard of everything
which is valuable to the country. But he does not
give fair statement Of the case. He assumes
that he has the right to abolish slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia--to protect fugitive slaves-to
exclude slavery from the Territores--and to inter-
fere with slavery everywhere and that he is called
upon to forbear these several points, in conside-
ration Of California being admitted into the Union.
Heis mistaken. The South does not ask his for
bearanee these subjects, but denies his right to
act; and it is threatened action of Northern men
on them that has produced the present excitement
and caused the existing spirit of resistance at the
South.
