expressman, who rides between here and Fort
Clark, we learn that not long since a party of
Camanche Indians, having in their possession
horses and mules to the number Of about three,
hundred, passed within few miles Of the Fort,
driving into the latter place detachments Of the
Tonquewa Indians, between whom and them
selves there is a warfare The Camanche party
was represented as quite large and well armed.
The direction from which they came, and the
number of horses in their possession, leads to
the conclusion that the horses are those taken O.
short time since from the Arkansas River; an
account Of which we gave in q previous num-
Der. Some six or seven days elapsing after the
thefts on the Arkansas, before this party passed
Fort Clark, tends further to the superstition
that they are the same; and the Arkansas set
property is now beyond their reach, in the
mountain retreats of the Camanches.
Mr.. Robert Hord, who has just arrived from
Brownsville, informs us that the revolution is
still going on in the State Of TamauIpas, Mex
leo; the particulars we have not time to give in
this paper.
RANGERS We understand that an order has
been received from the Secretary of War at the
Adjatant Generals Office in this place, relative
to the requisition of Gen. Smith upon the Gov
ernor Of Texas for Rangers. It appears that
Gen Smith has misconstrned the meaning or
intention Of the Secretary of War, who indicates
that no law exists authorizing the calling ont Of
the militia of any State, unless on account Of an
| invasion from d foreign State, or the Indian
tribes, and then not for any particular period.
The censure that has been cast upon General
Smith, from many portions Of the State, will
now be removed. Our impression is, that new
order will be issued before the Organization o.
the Rangers called out under the present order
4 will take effect.
