Later from Texas.

The steamship Louisiana, Capt. Forbes,
arrived yesterday from Indianola, via Gal
weston, bringing full mail, including Gal
weston dates of the 18th ult.
The San Antonio Ledger of the 7th re-
ports another Indian outrage as follows;
A report reached San Patrico on the 9th
September, that forty-two Indians attacked
a small body of Mexicans day or two pre-
vious, at mustang pen, some twenty miles
west of that town. The Indians killed ele-
ven Mexicans, and the Corpus Christi and
Laredo mail carrier. The Indians had some
80 horses in their possession.
Eleven U. S. soldiers are in Jail at San
Antonio under charge of highway robbie
ry. They pillaged wagon belonging to j..
R. Sweet, laden with goods on its way to a
western fort. We do not wonder at it. 1t
results from lax discipline, and general idle
ness.
The GOVERNOR it will be remembered,

The Secretary Of War, Mr.. Conrad, having
been advised of the fact by Mr.. Noney f.
Howard, NJ. c. from Texas, he addressed
Mr.. II. letter, which is published in the
San Antonio Ledger, and from which we
take the subjoined extract:
SIN reply, have the honor to state that
recent intelligence has been received from
the Sth Military Department, and as at pre-
sent advised, have no reason TO believe
that the services of these volunteers are at
all necessary for the protection OF the inhab-
itants of Texas against the Indians. must

these troops. deem it proper 10 add
moreover, that volunteer companies thu:
organised without the sanction and contrar,
to the judgment of the authorities charged
with the defense of the country, have ten.
dency to create hostilities, and rather TO en-
danger the peace of the frontier than tc
preserve it. - n. o. Delta.

Insurance,

We would take this occasion to say few
words to our readers on the importance and
duty of insurance. We need not urge this
upon our wealthy men or our merchants, for
they rarely neglect it, and if they did, fires
leave them other resources. But we ad-
dress ourselves to our laboring fellow-citi-
zens-mcchanics and others-who perhaps
have little else than home and its contents
in the world. These should never neglect
to insure; q fire, which may visit them at
any hour, would leave them homeless, and
with no capital but their labor to begin
again the struggles of life, and years of toll
and watching must pass before they can
regain what they have lost, if indeed it is
ever done. To such, insurance is a duty
moral duty. If the individual is worth
little, the expense is less; if he owns much
property, still the expense is trifing, and
by investing few dollars he is safe. If he
is overtaken by misfortune, and his all laid
in ashes, he receives recompense in a cash
capital equal TO his loss, and may soon re-
store what has been destroyed. We adj
wise our laboring men and mechanics not to
neglect the duty of insuring their property
Messrs Perry s. Bartholow are Agents
for the Protection Fire and Marine 1nsu,
rance Company, Of Hartford, Connecticut
said to be one Of the oldest, richest, and
promptest companies in the Union, and we
refer those wishing to insure, or gain fur.
ther information, to them.

The Fashions in New York.

We have but few fashionables "away out
here" but we have a number who enjoy
fashionably made up man or woman, and
many quiet laugh they have at the expense
of those devotees offashion, who imagine, as
they swell along the street or sweep up
church aisle, they are creating a sensation!
For the benefit of all concerned, we copy
the following from the last Home Journal,
showing "what is the rage" in New York.
We like that part which has reference TO
the ladies, as we shall now have chance of
seeing their own views and tastes, instead
Of those of miliners. The Journal says
All the colors of the rainbow, and a
thousand tints that the rainbow never knew,
appear in the attire of the moving throng.
Gentlemen no longer seek safety in black,
TO the extent they formerly did. They dare
wear all man may wear, whether it has
the hue of heaven, Of earth, of coffee, of
grass or of claret; all, so that a velvet col
lar be not omitted. The ladies', too, this
season, dote on velvet TO such degree that
it has become exactly twice as dear as it
was. 1t is another of their delights to
clothe themselves in the "dunnest smoke
of"-London; the raging color being styled
"London smoke" Every color, it seems
like every dog, must have its day; but whc
could have foreseen that the much execratet
smoke Of London would ever impart its
hue to fashionable silk and satin ? But /;
lady at our elbow tells us that the fashion
this fall is, not to follow the fashion; but tC
be original, both in color and in cut in ma
terial and in pattern, at home and abroad
How much this unprecedented and most ex
celent fashion will contribute to the charm
of street and parlor prospects may be i'm
agined.

Grace Greenwood writes from Dublin:-
ave visited the grave of O'Connell in
the beautiful cemetry Of Glassneven, where
Curan is also buried. The coffin of the
great "agitator," covered with crimson vel
vet, gorgeously wrought in gold, is exposed
in the vault of a temporary tomb. So we
stood very near the dust of him whose over
mastering eloquence once stirred and sway
ed the minds of his countrymen, as strong

EVERY WORD TRrE.--It is great and
prevalent error, HAT children may be left
to run wild in every sort of company and
temptations for several years, and that it
will then be time enough to break them in.
THIS mistake makes half our spendthrifts,
gamblers, thieves and drunkards. No man
would deal 50 with his garden or lot, no man

Ministering Spirits.

The Reunion OF parents and children in
Heaven, as well as of earthly friends, is a
cheering and delightful thought. And the
idea that our departed friends may some
the borders of the spirit-land, is suited to
impress the mind.
a little girl, in a family of my acquaint-
ance, lovely and precious child, lost her
mother at an early age-too early 10 fix the
loved features in her remembrance. She
was as frai as beautiful; and as the bud of
her heart untolded, it seemed as If won by
that mothers prayers to turn instmctiyely
Heavenward. The sweet conscientious and
prayer-loving child, was the cherished one
of the bereaved family. But she faded away
early. She would lie upon the lap of the
friend wh6 took a mothers kind care of her,
and winding one wasted arm around her
neck, would say, Nov tell me about my
mammal" And when the old tale had been
repeated, she would ask softly, Take me
into the parlor; | want 10 see my mamma.
The request was never refused; and the af-
fectionate child would lie for hours content
edly gazing on her mothers portrait
| But
'EPale and wan she grew, and weekly
Bearing all her pain so meekly,
That to them she still grew dearer,
As the tral-hour grew nearer.'
That hour came at last; and the weeping
neighbors assembly, to see the little chile
die. The dew Of death was already on tn,
flower, as its lile-sun was going down. TIL,
little chest heaved faintly-spasmodically.
'Do you know me, darling!'' sobbed clos(
to her ear, the voice that was dearest; bu
it awoke no answer.
All at once brightness, as if from th'
upper world, burst over the childs colorles
countenance. The eyelids flashed open, th'
lips parted, the wan, cudding hands flew
up, in the little ones last impulsive effort
as she looked piercingy into the fair above
"Mother, she cried, with surprise an
transport in her tone--and passed with tina
breath into her mothers bosom.
Said distinguished divine who stood b
= that bed of joyous death:
''IfI never believed in the ministraton {
departed ones heretofore, | could not doul
, it now."

T@MR. Fry, in a recent letter, remarks:
"G.ymnasia at our public schools should pre-
cede and accompany all education, mascu-
line and feminine: Otherwise, it is farce.
The FaysiG1s Of the Americans, owing to
the habits Of our women particularly, and
the climate, is not equal to the English,
French or Gcrman. Physical culture, in
fact. is an affair Of the State; SO the Greeks
understood i,--henoe the models they have
left rs. But we are degenerate in that re-
gard we clutch money, and lose ecstacy
and lite."

He was a very handsome person, and pos

friend, no companions of his own species,
but amused himself with whales and other
large fish, which in those days were ration

the sea. And every night the troop Of gi-
ants came with a frghtiul noise and held
their revels in the old city. and people who
visited the walls were smitten with dread
ful disease, which brought them nigh unto
death. However, when the dwarfs saw
how the anger of the parents afflicted the
Spaniards, they also came By night and BY
day and cured those who were sick.
And so it is yet, though but few persons
have of late years seen the Giants. Yet if
one be alone in the forest, and hears a mighty
noise he knows that the troup Of giants is
coming. And the little dwarfs are some
times, though rarely. seen. They minister
to the comforts Of the Spanards. When
children are lost in the woods. they find them
and protect them, and bring them again to
their disconsoate parents; and when the
poor people are sick they cure them. But
they are very quiet and never speak at all.
Don JUAN TAYrANo says that he once saw
a dwarf. He had been sleeping in the for
est, and when he awoke he saw little man
with n mild countenance and pair Of great
blue eyes, watching him with much interest.

JuAN awoke. He had never seen giant
but had heard their noise. However it in
stantly ceased when hc discharged a great
gun at them.
Don JuAy says that he was once much in
terror Of the giants, but finding that they
were fri ghtencd away by the explosion Of
gunpowdcr, he went TO their haunts there
after with perfect impunity.
