ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP LOUISE
LATER FROM TEXAS.

BY the arrival this morning of the steamship Lon
islana from Texas, we have received files Of papers
from that city to the 24th inst, inclusive

1t is said that Gen. Smith concentrates an entra
change IN the disposition OF the military posts on the
frontier. The Infantry be stationed nearer The
lndlan country, and IN stronger force than heretofore
that Is. greater number OF men will be placed ar
each post though the number of posts will thereby
be diminished. The points designated for these new
military stations hoggl not probably determined on,
are the Clear Fork of the Brazos, the Concho, and
San Saba or the Lano The regiment of mounted
litlemen will be kept actively engaged in raversing
the country from the Nueces to the Rio Grande and
such other measures will be taken as will render it
next to impossible for hostile Indians to eude The mil

A train OF tweny-slx large wagons, fourteen of
which are loaded with stores destined for the Bonn
Diary Commission, lett the camp San Antonio a
few days since for Ell Pdso.
The San Antonio Ledger states that man hv tl,a
name of Sailor was murdered by some OF Wild
Cats tribe near Eagle Pass, in Texas about the 23d
OF September, 1881; and about the time a man
by the name OF McGIaw left Eagle Pass on business
on the Mexican side OF the RIO Grade, to be zone
only few days. After absence of about fourteen
days, body, supposed to be McGraw's was found
near Pelotes, in Mexico, brutay mangled. The pre-
vaillng opinion is, that McGraw was killed by some
of this same band OF savages.
The San Antonio papers think that their projected
railroad to the Cult will certaiAly be constructed
The Ledger says that The greater portion of the c9p
ltal has been subscribed by Bexar county The whole
enterprise II appears, has been subjected to the most
careful and laborlons investigation. Estimates have
been made of the amount of goods actually transport
ed to and from that cty-of the amounts necessary
to supply the demands OF the Government for troops
and tor the boundary surveyalso for the trade TO Ell
Paso, Chihuhua and other States of Mexico The
actual amount OF business being thus determined the
cost OF the road has been carefully estimated
and the result has proved that the stock will pay an
annual dividend of 3per cent, even with the present
| amount of freight and travel.
The San Antonio papers have news from Ell Paso to
September 18th. Mr.. Wentworths tram had arrived
at Ri Paso in good condition; and had started back

fully that game, both at the Pass and above it where
they have succeeded in carrying off every description
OF stock. They stole the animals belonging to the
Boundary Commission when encamped at the Copper
Mines.
A considerable party of mners, who spent last sum-
mer the ella, have made good work in digging
gold. The Gila gold mines are said to BE- very rich
