-. SPRINGFIELD, TEAS, Nov. 4, 1854
Our whole country has been wild with excite
ment In regard to murder said to have been COM
mitted about two weeks since, in Navarro county,
upon the body Of Mr.. Wells The body was found

entertained at time that the prisoners would be
mobbed, which the Of many OF their friends
appearing armed. There were men from Freestone and
Limestone counties who friends 10 the prisoners,
and lest there should be hard feelings against
tons to the law Of the land executed II their
friends had been proved guilty, they would have ac-
guessed.
There is stil great excitement in Navarro county.
The body Of the murdered man found about
twenty miles from the residences of the parties accused
murder.
One Of the parties accused lost couple Of negroes
persons that the wells instigated the boys run
Oh, and that he was hung for 1t.
The Nescs has the following article upon the
Indian difficulties and the requsition upon the
nation expressed by the writer we have NO doubt
finds an echo In the breast Of every resident Of
Texas -
The Secretary Of War; in Washington CITY, has twisted
and turned on the subject Of calling out the Rangers
with experiences that would tickle Jim Crow amazing
ly. Having ordered requisition the Governor OF
the State for six companies Of Rangers, he waits until
they have collected and marched for Ausn-many Of
them travelling hundreds of miles-when the sagacous
would have had to go back to use the vulgar expires
sion GLADLY fooled had not Governor Pease mustered
them into the service Of the State The Legislature will
have to foot the bill and look to Congress for rem
bursement
The hostile attitude Of the Apaches and the thieving
recorded in the papers, fully justified Governor Pease in
the movement. If the general government has sym
Of barbarous Indians to say nothing Of the solemn obi
CATION on the annexation of this State by which the
federal power pledged to protect frontier from the
look calmly on, while men butchered, women and
children carried into captivity, and property stolen
The only sensible course to be pursued to make
on the Indians which is fully justified by the FREE
quensy Of their attacks the settlements and travel
ers together with their defiant tone and undsguised
hostility. Tampering with them, by treaties, has only
served to lead them to suspect the whites cowardce
and to encourage their atrocities When overpowered
the willy savage will profess the greatest friendship and
cunnngy declare his desire for peace and treaties
cessty the prospect Of presents make it to his avan
tag but st at heart he ths for blood and his fingers
itch for stealing.
We cannot doubt that the action Of Governor Pease
will be sustained by the people.
From the San Antonio Ledger Of late date We
learn that forty Polish families were on their way to
DC. Also sixty families from Saxony, whose desti.
nation l. Medins. The banks Of the Medina are Ger

: The Gonzales Inquirer states that . company Of
Texas Rangers recently passed through that place
on their way to Austin: They we're IAN able bodied,
fierce looking set Of fellows."
