LATE PROM TExAs.-By the arrival
this morning Of the steamship Mexi-
co, we have dates from Galveston TO
the l7th inst. Iif-sT-FTtAEFH
Gen. Harney, with two regiments
of mounted infantry, has left San
Antonio for the Indian treaty ground,
on the San Saba, we believe, where
large numbers OF the saEages are
said TO be congregating.
Gen. Smith left San Antonio a few
days ago for the Clear Fork Of the
Brazos. 1t is stated that he will
establish chain of posts, above
which the Indians will be required 10
remain, and will make such additions
or changes as may be necessary to
give the settlements adequate protec-
lion.
The late disbanding Of the United
States troops at several points on the
Rio Grande had created much alarm
among the inhabitants for the safety
of the settlements, being thus left
exposed to the Indians. The Apa.
ches had been committing depreda-
tions at different places, and have
stolen the horses, &c, from the
boundary commission.
The Gila mines are reported TO be
very productive. A large party last
summer gathered rich harvest from
them, and increased emigration is
expected there next spring.
Wild Cat and his colony OF Indi-
ans and negroes, on the western
side of the Rio Grande. are said 10
have joined the Mexican troops late
ly stationed opposite Eagle Pass, and
proceeded toward Camargo, in order
to oppose the revolutionary party.
The San Antonio Ledger states that
much anxiety prevails at Eagle Pass,
in consequence of the hostile attitude
assumed by some Of Wild Cats tribe.
The arrest Of Gopher John, and an
other runaway negro, at Eagle Pass,
have exasperated them, and they
threatened a rescue and vengence.
These negroes are now confined in
the American camp.
The Bonham (Fannin county,
Advertiser says: %
ave are informed by Mr.. ]. G.
Stevens, Of Fort Arbuckle, that the
Camanches have recently held
council OF war in the vicinity Of the
Wichita mountains, in order to ar
range matters for the expulsion OF
the 9th infantry from their new post
on the Brazos. They have previous
ly endeavored, but without success,
to entice the DeIawares and Shaw.

fifty men encamped at the Brazos

goons."

The season In Texas has been unu-
iually unfavorable TO the sweet pota-
o crop, both as regards the amount
If the yield and quality.
The Galveston papers say that The
,rder of Odd Fellows is extending
throughout the State.
The Houston (Texas) Telegraph
,f the 18th inst., learns that the corn /
'rop on the Guadaloupe has been so
ibundant that there will be several
hundred thousand bushels for sale in
he counties on the river. Some
'lanters have actually raised more
:orn than they could harvest, and
ave allowed their neighbors to gath
II it free of charge.

rom seventy-one acres $500 bushels i
{ corn, which is fraction short OF :
xly-four bushels per acre. /
