Tread in your paper of 24th ult., (receiv.
cd here last mail, thrilling and interest.
ing narrative of the capture and escape oil
Mrs. Jane Adeline Wilson, by the Camanche
Indians, last summer, by whom she and her
two brothers-in law (boys) were taken of
prisoners. sHf sa ssa
The facts and the particulars of Mrs.
Wilson's capture, and two boys, near the
fort, "Phantom Till" Texas, are eorrobor-
ated by tie same facts related to me here,
by tho discharged soldier alluded to by hef
in her narrative, (the soldier having passed
this way to arkansas; j also, in relation TO
tho Mexican driver being scalpsd and shot,
as Mrs. w. relates.
The soldier stated here, on his arrival, !,
that he was unable to keep up to the wagon,
with Mrs. Wilson and two boys, the Mexi-
can driving, and as his horse was worn
down, and on coming up to it he found the
woman and both boys gone, the was on
robbed of all its contents, mules gone ais }.
and the Mexican driver lying near the wag-
on, insensible, having been shot and scalp
cd The soldier carried him to small
stream near by, washed his wounds, and
afterwards carried him for several days on
his back. They were destitute Of food, the
Indians having stolen all from the wagon.
They lived for some days on the remains
of the carcass of a dead OK, found by the
roadside, using an old razor for knife,
being the only instrument the soldier had to
cut.
After several days slow travelling, they
arrived at "Phantom Hill'' post, wherc the
soldier left the Mexican recovering.
Nothing has been heard on this frontier
Of the two boys alluded to in Mrs. Wilson's
narrative, until ten days since, whom one
shout twelve years old, calling hiself Geo.
Washington Wilson, was brought in near
here, by Aaron Brown, an intelligent, sdx-
Gated CLiekasaw Indian, who lives near
this post. He had been out with some
Shawnees for the last foar months, trading
for mules with Camarches.
They found this white boy, with the Ca
manches, in q very destitute condition re-
specting clothing, having but few rags on
his person.
Aaron Brown, with the characteristic
noblsness ef heart peculiar to his tribe, see.
ing tho white boy in captivity, and badly
used, proposed trading some goods for him.
A few days passed before the trade was
concluded.
After giving several hundred dollars
worth Of goods for the boy, the Cananehcs
wanted to draw bargain, thinking they
could extort more, as they perceived Brown
manifested desire to have the lad.
A few days since heard from Fort Ar
buckle, situated sixty miles west of this
post, that mhiie boy had been brought in
there by some frieadly Indians, who had
bought him from the Camanchcs lately.
This boy proves to be the other brother
ia-law of Mrs. Wilson, showing that all the
captives are now safe. Steps will be
taken to restore them to their friends.
Very respectfully,

necessary for their subsistence, are con
