Indian Fight on the Texas Frontier

SAN ANTONIO, (Texas, Aug, 2, 1867.
Col. A. S. JOHNSTON left here on Friday
morning last. News vas received by the
last mail that he would be sent to Utah in
place of Gen. HARVEY. His loss ID much
regretted here.
News of a fight with the Indians was
brought down yesterday by the Government
Express from Fl. Clark. Lieut.. G. B.
Hoop with detachment of 20 soldiers OF
the I'd Regiment ofCavalry was ont on
scout. They got to the head Of Devils
River on the goth of last month, when they
came upon party of about so Indians, sup
posed to be Commanckes and Lipans. The
Indians on seeing the soldiers approach,
came up to them holding out a white flag,
which threw the soldiers somewhat off their
guard, they suppo,ing the Indians friendly.
Upon getting near enough, they attacked
the troops, killing two and wounding four.
Lieut.. HooD was wounded in the wrist.
The Indians left nine dead on the ground,
and carried off some ten or twelve wounded.
The fight was hand to hand one, and lasted
but a short time, and was very desperate
one. Had the soldiers been armed with
two six shooters apiece instead of one, they
would no doubt have killed all the Indians
Great praise is due 10 the I'd Regiment of
Cavalry for the service they have done
since stationed in this Department. They
have had more fights, and successful ones,
TOO, than any other of the troops that have
preceded them. The Rangers were not more
cuccesslul than the I'd Cavalry. Indeed,
the frontier has never been in such quiet.

Rollins at PALMYRA.

The editor OF the Alexandria Delta, who
was present, gives the following account oil
the conduct Of Maj. Rollins at PalmyrA,
which the Wandering Jew of the Leader
endeavored 10 torture into oowardice on
Maj Rollins part:
"When Col. Stewart sat down, Senator
Green ca. forward and announced that he
would reply to Maj. Rollins on the next
day at New London in Rails county, and
that he would there prove that Maj. r.
was the Black Republican candidate
Quicker than thought the manly form Of
Rollins appeared upon the stand Turning
TO Senator Green, and, with an eye flash
ing fire, looking him full in the face, he
thus addressed him: Sir, were TO charac-
terize the assertion which you have made
with the severity which it deserves it
would destroy the friendly personal rela-
tons which for several years existed be-
tween us. will not say that you have ut
tered deliberate falshood, but l do say
that you have grossly and basely misrepre.
scented me, whether malieiously | leave to
those who have heard my views to sayl"--
II was a moment of intense excitement
every one present expected to see Green
strike Rollins; but he did not do it! As
soon as it was seen that Green had no dis
position 10 fight, COL r. F. Richmond, Of
Hannibal, addressed Maj. Rollins thus:
"You can talk 10 Jim Green that way in
this Know Nothing crowd, but you can't dc
1t in a Democratic crowGn'
Major Rollins then said that it mattered
not to him who took the stump in opposi-
ton TO him;-that if the renegades had
come 10 the conclusion that Col. Stewart
was not able to defend himself and his par
ty then they ought TO send out their big guns
He further said that "if time would permit
he would take great pleasure in hearing
Mr.. Green and in replying TO him, but il
his other engagements prevented him from
J hearing him, he had friend, as gallant q
| knight as ever broke lance, who would
pay his respects to Mr.. Green" At this
moment Col. Thos. l.. Anderson came
upon the stand and said: "And that man is
Tom Anderson" A long and loud shout
went up for Rollins and Anderson" ant
the crowd dispersed.

Important Movement in the Grape and
Wine culture in the United States.

The Commissioner of Patents has set a.
part portion Of the funds last appropria-
ted by Congress for agricultural purposes.
for obtaining cuttings of all the native wild
grapevines Of the United States, 10 be
placed in the hands of practical cultivators,
with view Of testing their adaptation 10
the SOL and climate OF the other sections Of
the Union, and determining their value for
table use and for making wine. Major H.
G. Williams, OF Fairfax county, Va, has
been chosen to select the cutting, of the
vines OF Arkansas and Texas, and of the
neighboring Territories and obtain certain
information connected with their growth
and locality, which are to be employed In
carrying out said experiment.
Considering the extent OF territory over
which the wine culture may be sdvantag-
eous!y diiFused in this country, it is sur
prisng that this important measure has
never been attempted by our Government
before. 1t early attracted the attention Of
the first colonists, who not only formed
vineyards OF the European grape, but made
wine from our native grape. Notwith-
standing that the subjec, has been zealousy
pursued at various periods since, oil those
dwelling Oh the easterly half OF this conti-
nent, who have made trial OF the foreign
grape, have never been able 10 bring their
designs TO perfection, and, till lately, mos!
OF those who have tested their skin on our
native varieties have only met with partial
success.
At present, excellent wines are profta-
bly, made near Cincinnati in Ohio, and near
Atlanta, in Georgia, from our native Ca
tawba grape. Superior wines are also
made near Los Angeles, in California, from
the European grape, which had been intro.
duced here some $50 years ago, by the Je-
suits. In the opinion of good judges, the
quality OF these wines is not surpassed by
any manufactured in the Old World.
The steps now taken by the Patent or,
flee we think iudicious, and have no doubt
will ultimately meet with success,

ITbs Antics were unceasing in their
denunciations of Major Rollins, declaring
that he was Black Republican, enancipa-
ZIONIST, and so on. While they were herald.
Ing their SANDERS with trumpet tongue,
arrangements were quietly being perfected
to secure the emancipation, and Black Re-
publican vote for Stewart. Kribben, Kay
ser, and the German Black Republican
Chronicle, Of St. Louis, were working for
Stewart declaring he Yves Northern man
BY birth-owned no slaves-and would not
oppose emancipation; and the real abolition,
Black Republican vote of St. Louis, was cast
for Stewart--and elected him too, if he is

Republican candidate, TO his injury in the
country, and the Black Republican vote was
given to his opponent.

How 1T WAS DoNE.-The United States
government was recently looking for site
on Long Island for building Notifications.
The price asked for an eligible spot, $780,
600, was consented to by Gen, Totten, the
chief engineer. Some spectators, hearing
what was going on, gave $4,000 for the
land, then went TO Washington and persua-
ded the general government to give $780,
600. 1t is a curious fact that the govern
nent generally pays the biggest price de-
mauded for anything it wishes to buy, no
matter how much its economical scruples
were shocked at first at a lower price
asked.

Spain.

The following, from the Paris correspond.
ence OF the London Times, dated July oath,
gives further particulars relating to the ar
rangement for the settlement Of the Spanish
Mexican difficulty:
"Private letters from Madrid of the Goth,
contain the satisfactory intelligence that the
Spanish government has, after hesitating
good deal, accepted the offer of mediation on
the Mexican question, made by Lord How
den and the Marquis de Turgot, In the
names of their respective governments. M.
Lafragua, the Mexican Envoy, is about
TO place in the hands of the Spanish
Minister for Foreign Affairs, a narrative
OF the whole Of his negotiations, which he
intends afterwards to publish in PARIS. A
person named Losada, Gautemalan by
birth, and commissioned by Santa Anna to
treat with the spanish government, has ar
rived in Madrid. 1t is supposed that the
communications with this agent delayed the
answer of the Spanish Minister TO offers
made by Lord Howden and his colleague,
the acceptance, if what is currently report
ed in Madrid be true, being couched in rath-
er ambiguous and not over gracious terms.
1t is also stated that the Spanish govern
ment was informed, in very plain and un-
mistakable terms, that if the mediation was
rejected, Spain must not count on any as
sistance from either England or France,
whatever untoward circumstances might
arise 10 her out Of war with Mexico
This intimalion perhaps hurt the suscepti-
bility of the Spanish government; but fear
has been even stronger than pride, and the
mediation has been accepted, as have just
mentioned, after much hesitation and diff
Guilty, SO at least my letters state as the
news of the day. The British and French
Ministers have carried out the desire Of
their respective governments, and have act
ed throughout this affair in the same spirit.

Is THE NEGRO CITIZEN ?-The telegraph
yesterday announced the decision of the U
S. Circuit Court in favor of the citizenship of
negro who had brought suit there The case
was as follows: A man named Lamar while
in drunken frollic in Galena, in 1854, COM
mitted violent and unprovoked assault upon
a colored barber by the name of Mitchell, who
was severely injured. Lamar was arraigned
before a magistrate for the assault, fined few
dollars and discharged. The suit pending in
the U. S. Court was brought for private DANA
ges, and the defendant being resident of Wis
consin, rendered it necessary that the action
should be brought in that Court. Lamar put
in plea that Mitchell being negro was not
IN view of the Drcd Scott decision, citizen
OF the United States and could not therefore
sue in United Safes Court. The counsel for
Mitchell demurred to this plea, and the Court,
after argument, has decided that Mitchell be-
ing neither slave the descendant of a
slave is citizen and competent to sue. Nc
Lean, the Circuit Judge, and Drummond. the
District Judge, agreed in making this deci-
sion.-Pittsburgh Gazette, July 18th.
