Survey Of Railroad from San Diego to El
Paso---fight with the Indians. Sc

Lieut.. Meckling, sth Infantry and lady: Miss
Dashiell. Lieut. Parker Typographical Engineer.
and Lieut.. Stoniman, 1st Dragons. have arrived
IN San Antonio from El Paso, in twenty DAYS
one of the fastest trips on record.
Lieut.. Parker has just completed his survey of
the Railroad from San Diego, California to Ell
Paso and he reports strongly in favor Of said route
in preference to the one he was engaged to survey
last winter farther north. The surveying party
left San Francisco January 9Th and arrived at
Benica where they left on the 10Th of January.
1854, and arrived at Fort Fillmore, forty-fve
miles above Ell Paso, 18th March, when they
rested their animals a fortnight and proceeded
down TO this point. Lieut. Stonimon was in COM
mand of the escort, and Quartermaster to the ex-
pedition. Lieut. p. and 1t. S. do not speak very
iavorably of the lower country over which they
passed This is said to be portion of the coun-
try which is proposed in the treaty to be pur-
chased by the United States from Mexico They
say it is even worse than the most barren spot
between San Antonio and FL Paso.
Lieut.. NJ. reports that Lieut.. Bell, with de-
tachment OF so Dragons started in pursuit of 35
Indians (Apaches) who had stolen some property
from Rancho in New Mexico, Capt Sykes Sd
Inf. and Lieut.. Maxel 5th Inf. went along as
volunteers. They overlook 80 of the Indians
who made battle, whilst the rest carried OFF the
animals. All the Indians were well mounted and
when the Dragons were ordered TO charge. the
Indians at the same time charged through the
ranks, passing each other. Alter the Indians and
Dragons had passed each other two hundred
yards. they wheeled and charged each other again
in regular mani er. At the first charge each
officer killed his Indian. and several were wound
ed on each side. At the second charge. two SOL
diers and two Indians fell dead, and several were
wounded on each side. Lieut.. NJ. does not know
whether the property was recaptGred or not. 1t
is represented as being one of the most desperate
Indian rencounters which has ever taken place
with regular troops.

Indian Depredations.

We published some davs ago an account of sew
eral murders having been committed in the vicin-
ity of San Antonio, Texas. by the Indians The
party who started from San Antonio in pursuit of
the savages. arriving at the house of Forester
found the father lying the door shot through
the heart, scalped and the top of his head cut off
with an axe. which was near by: the two dauoh-
ters one of them 2 and the other II years, were
dead on the floor near bv, shot with several ar
rows and stabbed. and it was evident they had
been treated in the most cruel and barbarous
manner. The babe was also lying dead stabbed
through the body with large knife. Ony one
was missing. a boy about six years DID, whom
they evidently had taken with them. The mother
distinctly remembers seeing her Oldest daughter
trying to defend herself with knife. and the same
knife was near her when she was found Major
A. S. Neighbors and his party were on a trail of
these desperadoes, and in letter to the San An
tonic Ledger says:
They were making northerly direction. fol-
lowing the divide between the waters of the Me-
dina and Leon. When opposite the head of the
Leon, the trail scattered. being near, we went to
the house OF Captain McLelland and learned from
him Il at one of the Indians passed his house on
the evening of the murder have but little doubt
of their being Wichitas. On the 1st OF March,
twenty Wichitas were seen on the Cencho, where
they stole some oxen. They Were making their
way south. We next hear of them at Fort Inse,
where they stole horses which were recovered
The Mormons on the head of the Guadalupe had
fight with Them, and killed. as is supposed. four
which reduced the party to sixteen They are
now broken up into small parties, for the purpose
of stealing horses md numbering with more sale
ty. So soon as they murdered Mr.. Forester and
family. they prepared to 90 north, the old trail
leading across the head OF Cibolo. and my opinion
is that they will cross the Guadalupe ri> er about
the old Fredericksburg road the Colorado near
Hamllton's valley. and skirt the settlements un-
til they the BraZos, stealing horses and COM
mitting other depredatons whenever they have
chance unless the troops should fortunately arrest
them, which, from the mountainous state of the
country through which they are passing, will be
doubtlulD

ScHEHK II THE MrTsrEY.-Every one who

tine in case in which his feelings are deeply
Interested. knows what vivid impression his
wthering sarcasm and imprisoned manner is cal-
cu.ated to produce npon one unaccnstoned to list

An unsophisticated Methodist farmer. who
lived in distant portion Of the country. whose
business seldom called him 70 court accidentally
heard that Schenk was appointed Minister to
Brazil. country in South America. The term
minister" and preacher Of the gospcl.r were
nseparably associated in his mind, and he took IT
for granted that Schenk had turned preacher. and
had beet sent of on divine mission. With that
impression he went home.
Wife, said he. "what do you think heard at
Dayton to-day That wicked. little white head

been sent a missionary TO heathen nation
