IHE LATE INDIAN TREATY AND ITS OBsERy.
ANcE.-From the San Antonio Ledger, we gather
the following particulars furnished by gentleman
who resides in the vicinity of Fredericksburg, from
which it would appear little or no good has resulted
from the late treaty effected by Judge Rollins:
On the 7th Sth instant, party of three
Indians Of what tribe is not known shot the guard
who had charge Of the horses belonging to detaeb
ment OF Capt. Crowan's company Of rangers one of
their arrows piercing his breast and lodging in the
spine, another entering his right side, killing him
almost instantly They then succeeded in carrying
OFT ten horses. This occurred about ten o'clock n
the morning, five six miles to the left of the road
leading from Sabine creek to Fredericksburg
where the detachment Is stationed, almost within

Il. oh .ne hight o! the sth, another party stole alb
the horses belonging to Mr.. links new farm on

Wallace. ~
And on the night Of the 18th, another party sun
posed from their trail to be five or six in number
stole number OF horses from the stable and ward
at Camanche Spring To get at the horses win
out being discovered, they had to take aown three
iences. An occasional watch being kept I'D, the
horses were missed within fifteen or twenty minpter
alter they were taken. Search was made and their
course discovered, leading to the Viego Trail.

too wild to be easily caught.
1t now remains to be whether the stpula
tons OF the treaty will be faithfully carried ont
and the depredators and stolen property delivered
up, or whether these redskins spoke with forked
tongues when making such earnest professions of
desire to become peaceable and honest. We
lear their talk was all CANNON got up for sinister
motives and that this so-called treaty will deceive
the powers that be, at Washington, into the belief
that all Is peace and quiet this frontier, and our
citizens suffer in consequence thereof. These fears
are strengthened by the declaration OF the warrior
captive made to those who had him in charge
lie gave 1t as his opinion that the treaty was only
entered into Tor the purpose of effecting his re-
lease, and said the Rangers might look oit for
squaIv tunes as soon as he returned to his peope
lie promised to be with them when they come on
upon our frontier He has been sent home and
we may expect to hear from him soon, as he will
be anxious to do some daring feat in order to wine
out the stain resting upon his honor, he being the
hrst Cananche warrior taken alive He is
said to be gallant young brave, and would not
have been taken alive had he not given up his
horse to wounded companion being afterwards
wounded himself, ,and leftno weapon for defence He
has been lett at comparative liberty during his eight
months captivity, but made attempt to escape.
he probability is, that the uncertainty of ever
reaching his people, more than his parole of honor,
deferred him from attempting it.
