Lieutenant Brady, VIC learn, had quito fight
with the Comanches. He and eighteen of Wal
lace's mounted volunteers left their camp on the
morning of the 2lst of April, and two miles west
country which they followed for four days. through
very rough and mountainous country, to the
head Of the Rio Frio and thence took northerly
course to what Lieutenant b. supposed to be the
head waters Of the Rio Leona. On the morning Of
the 25th the camp of the Indians was discovered
and completely surprised. The Indians numbered
eleven Comanchcs Six of this number were left
dead on the ground, and one taken prisoner, who
was subsequently shot by order of Lieutenant b.
at hand, being severely wounded, and two got off
unhuYt, one on horseback and the other on foot.
All their camp equipage, two tents, blankets bril-
dies, paints, shields, arms. and In fact every thing
they had, fell into the possession Of the victors.
Lieutenant b. says his men behaved in the most
gallant manner, and not one received the slightest
wound.
The Indians are committing great deprcdations
in the neighborhood of Goliad
Colonel Hardee is coon to lead an expedition,
composed of two hundred men, from Fredericks-
burg into the Indian country. Judge Rollins and
Mr.. Stem, special Indian agents for the States

pacity.
The object of the expedition is to demand of the
Comanchc and other tribes the surrender Of the In
dams who have committed the numerous outrages
on the settlements since the making Of the treaty
ON the San Saba, in December last. In the event
of their refusal or failure to do So or TO point out
the guilty, an exemplary punishment will be in
hicted on them for the outrages they have commit
ted in open violation of their treaty stipulatons.

The Srocx MARxET.-The writer for the finan-
cial column of the New York Express, in that paper
of the 2lst instant, makes the following remarks:
"The features Of the stock market are of a
strange and anomalous character. We have con-
tnued and unceasing accessions of gold from Cali
fornia, strengthening the currency and aiding the
expansive movements; trade in all its branches has
been more less stimulated, our imports and ex-
ports have been to larger extent than any former
year, the various avenues Of transit have been
opened and arc opening in every part Of the coun-
try, and lands in every direction are improving In
value. With all these favorable circumstances to
induce a series of spcculations in stocks, we find
total absence of anything resembling speculation;
one seems DESTROYS of engaging in operations
that involve the hazard of loss because there is
commensurate prospect of profit to warrant such
engagements. The money market is fully supplied,
nay redupdantly so, with capital, yet the fancy
insensbly descend in the scale of prices and
holders appear to believe, that with depreciation
and loss of interest they have but slim prospect for
the ensuing summer. Stocks of all kinds advanced
in the spring Of last year, and the advance con-
tinued throughout the whole year. and into the be-
ginning of the present, without any radical change.
Before this il was usual to have violent fluctua.
tions, and very great differences arose from
to season in the rates; and very frequently these
changes alternated capital from one hand to an
other. Some became rich and some poor; but specu-
lation was engendered in these very fluctuations.
The prudent operators and those disposed to close
up their concerns before the warm season sets in,
are disposng of their lots, feeling convinced from
appearances that they VIII be able 10 come In
within ninety days at considerably lower points,
and save both capital and interest by the working
of time. The whole of the fancies, or nearly 30,
held by the brokers, waiting patiently for
rise; but stocks are generally considered as having
touched the apex, point Of elimination, and
any turn must favor the sellers on time. Mono
other but reduced change in value will induce
the outsiders to relieve the insiders of their heavy
burdens This is shown by the want of orders to the
commission brokers, who are literally doing no.
thing.
"The month of May has usually been the bu-
siest season, and after this month business has
tapered Off but this year we have all the dullness
of warm weather bsfore the thermometer has indi-
Gated it,"
