Fight with the Indians In Texas.

FROM the lew Orleans Picayune, May a.
We are favored with intelli sence from Corpus
Christi to the 10th inst, from which We learn the par
tculars of fight that took place on the previous
day, between a small detachment Of United States
troops and body Of Indians, four times their num-
Der.
Lieut.. Cosby, we learn, with ten men and one ser.
geant attacked forty Indians, who had been COM
hitting depredations in the vicinity, and whom the
troops were therefore pursuing. The Indians turned
on the troops with great erceuess and fought hard,
but -four OF them were soon killed, five we're wounded,
and the whole body shortly afterwards completely
routed. The gallant little band suffered considera
bly,. One, a brave fellow, Sergeant Byrne being
killed, and Lieut. Cosby himself and several Others
being wounded, besides whom two Others are miss.
ing. all the plumber of the Indians, however, with
all their spare horses and equipments, and their bows
and arrows, were captured.
Lieut.. Cosby was brought into Corpus Christi on
the morning Of the 10th inst. in wagon. His re-
covery is confidently expected. He was struck in
the groin by one arrow, which fortunately hit $50
gold piece which he had in his pocket-book, in his
pantnconn pocket. When he was brought in the
arrow head was found doubled up IN his pocket-book
The nature of his wounds is not explained but they
are said not to be such as seriously to threaten his
life.
