Of Mobile, who has completed the survey of the
contemplated Galveston and BraZos Canal, has
made highly favorable report of the practicabty
OF the work, and OF the economy by which il can
be completed.
We find in the Western Team, of the Ilth inst,
published AT San Antonio, detailed account of
late Indian depyedatlons. We abridge from il tho
follow ing :-On the night of the 81 inst. party Of
Indians stole from the rancho of Mr. Lay, four
miles from Ssguin, nine horses; also, on the same
night, from Mr.. Odln, six miles below Segun on
the Guadalupe, seven horses. Also, from MIR.
Erskine, living In the neighborhooj of Seguin,
number of horses-the exact number we have been
unable TO ascertain. On the evening of the 7th,
the horses of Mr.. kesiah, living on the Cibolo,
about three miles below the Sulphur Springs were
driven Oft. The citizens living about the springs
were gathering en- the morning of the sth to pursus
them. On Sunday, the 7th, the Indians were on
the Coleto, and on Monday, party of fifteen or
twenty men, from the neghborhood OF Seguin,
crossed the Coleto the trail, in hot pursuit.. IL
is probable they will join the parry from the springs
and pursue them together. On Monday last,
express arrived here, who reported that Friday,
the 9th inst, two parties of Indians were commit
ting depredations on the Cibolo, about forty-five
miles below tins place. One party Of fifteen had
attacked the rancho of Mr.. Cassiano, killed one
man, and drove off the horses. Another party Of
six OF seven had, when seen, drove Of horses tls
majority OF which, II is supposed, belonged to Mr.
James Peacock. On the sth ut. Lieut.. Under
wood, with thirteen men, left Fort Merrill, 10
escort the mail rider 10 Laredo, and, GU The eve
ming Of the same day, met party OF Indians
the Nueces, who fired on him from the opposite
side of the nver. He Immediately crossed over
and dispersed them. On the 18th inst when with
in about thrty-ive miles of Laredo, he met party
Of nine Indians, well mounted, who fired UPON him
with guns and arrows, which, being returned,
sharp conflict ensued, which lasted about half an
hour, when the Indians retreated. The condition
of Lieut.. Underwoods horses not permitting a
charge, he dismoun,ed his men and fought on foot.
Lieut.. Underwood had killed and seven
wounded, among whom Lieut. u. himself.
One Of the wounded men died few days after
wards, at Fort Mcintosh. The Indians lost one
man killed, and four or five wounded--one very
seriously, if not MORALLY. During the skifmish,
one horse and one mule strayed away, which were
doubtless carried oil by the Indians. We Learn
that the mail also lost The following Isl
