More Indian nepredations on the Texan Frontier.
The Srn .Anfonio Western Team of the
7lh inst. gives the following particulars
Of recent Indian depredations, for which
tI!.t paper says it is indebted to General
Brook:
On the afternoon OF the 23i February,a
party ofsix indians killed Mexican about
three miles below Laredo. Lieut.. Viele
medately started in r'uit, and follow
ed their trail for three days, when he found
they had scattered, and each one had taken
a different direction. On the night Of the
23d nl'imo ahorse was killed by al. Indian
at For, Mcintosh and from the signs found
in the mornlng,i was supposed there were
several. On the morning of the 24lh two
parties started in pursuit, taking different
directions, but joined in the afternoon Of
the same day, and proceeded together, un-
der command OF Lieut. Hudson. After IA
forced march of fifty miles. the Indians
numbering twenty or thirty were discov-
cred, near sunset, Oh an eminence, about
half mile distant, apparently watching
the movements of the troops. Upon
near approach they fred upon Lieut.. Hud-
son, who gailan,Iy returned their fire,
wounding one; when, at signal from
fhot f1n t.
Hudson Immediately ordered a charge,and
kept upa running fight for three miles,

advisable to halt. On returning TO the
place where the fight commenced, Lieut..

ABOUT 10 years of age, who had made his
escape during The melee. lie stated tha,
he, together with another boy, lwho was
killed and scalPed, was mustanging about
80 miles above Laredo, when they were
taken prisoners. He also said that the
Indians were about 60 strong, belonging
to the tribe called Tab wah- cone Hall
OF them were in the lower country on IA
predatory excursion. Lieut.. Hudson con-
tInued the pursuit on the 25lh, until he
came to where the Indians had thrown
away all their supsriluous baggage, and
scattered, each shifting for himself, and
taking northerly course; when, being
short of raton>, he returned.
About the 9th ultimo, one of the men
of Mr. Aubrey train, while hunting near
Turkey Creek, having just discharged his

Des Moines Presbytery.

The growth Of the different religious bodies in
Iowa, affords gratifying evidence of the advance
ment of our state. Des Moines Presbytery was or.
ganized April %, 1912, at Yellow Spring. There
were present four ministers, viz: w. w. Woods,
VIM c. Rankin, Chas K. Fisk and James A. Clark,
and three elders, viz: A. C. II. White, s. Fullen-
wider and Samuel Lucas. This Presby.ery now
numbers II churches, 10 ministers, and $50 COM
municants. At a meeting held on the nth inst. At
Yellow Springs, encouraging reports were given
as to the state Of religion in the bounds Of the diff
ferent churches. revival was reported in the
neighborhood Of Marion and Cedar Rapids. An in
teresting work Of grace commenced at Yellow
Springs during the meeting, which is still in pro-
gress. Rev. w. A. B. McCuistion was installed
Pastor on the 3th inst. The Sermon vas Preached
by Rev. G. Wood Of Keokuk, from Cor. 3: Is.-
The constitutional questio were proposed by Rev.
w. w. Woods Of Iowa City, and the installing pray
err offered BY Rev. w. H. Williams Of Keokuk.-
Mid the shifting state Of society among us, we re-
joice in the evidence, that we possess some ele-
ments of pcrmanence, afforded by the institution of
the pastoral relation. We hope il will be general
ly established by the churches. $.

The newspaper business, extensive as it now is
and vast as are the strides made by it within the last
ten years.is still clearly in its infancy. People
speak Of the immense issues OF the Periodical
Press, vet rarely reflect that, in this enlightened
1850, not one family in four throughout the Tn ted
States regularly takes and not one person in three
habtually reads any newspaper whatever. Yet the
time rapidly approaches wherein no enc who is
any body or does anything can afford to do without
a journal. whatever his tastes may dictate-when
he who has any thing TO sell or needs to buy any
thing, whether of Labor or its fruits, must regular
ly read some journal in order not to fall behind his
neigbors and deal with them at ruinous disad-
vantage. Of.ourse, we are here contemplating but
the lower and grosser uses Of the journals, but
these alone ensure their universal diffusion.
The business world is Just beginning to have
some glimmering notion OF the retoluton in ade

Senate fey days since between Messrs BENTON

decency to hide in, has been polluted-the last

has been desecfated and broken up. lie senate
OF the United states-that worldwide boosted en-
bodiment of all that was dgnitied and prasewoIthy
has been made the arena Of bullyism and black
ruardism, In view Of the Influence and character
of that assemb,age Of statesmen, such an episode
in its history is an augu,y Of mischief to every low
er of his country. If the evil passions Of men
should be any where curbcd, il should be in such
place as that. For the honor Of the coantrys and
to maintain the dignity Of the Senate. we should
like to see those who have thus disgraced them
selves and their colleagues, made an example ofby
expulsion from the Senate Chamber. Such course
would do to redeem the character OF that body
and keep the members OF It within the line Of their
duty, than any other method we think of.
Foote is evidently out Of his place in the Senate.
His frequent attempts to play the strag game have
not only been bore to the whole country and Gre
ated feelings Of disgust for the man; but, on the
principle that sevil communications corrupt good
manners" his influence has infused itself among
many OF the members, and has worried them into
acts of retaliation, to sucn extent to lead them
to let down their dignity and gentlen.any bearing,
and secure the very result on which we now

tenanced in respectable society. None but cow
