A TIeREss.-A correspondent of the New York
Mirror, writing from Plymouth Mass, thus speaks
of Mrs. Gardner, who has been incarcerated In
prison sometime, on charge Of poisoning her
husband:
(" The trial commenced on Tuesday, when she
appeared, dressed in deep mourning her forbid

which her able counsel may raise, may prevent the
jury from rendering verdict of guilty, yet those
who have seen and conversed with her, as have.

The Texan papers abound with statements OF
Indian outrages. The Indians appeared in the
vicinity of San Antonio, and Capt. Whining, of I'd
Cavalry, who went in pursuit, recaptured all the
horses and mules taken from the San Diego mail
train, which had been attacked short time before
Capt. Popes party had arrived at Fort Clarke, all
well. The Indians were very troublesome along
the route but were defeated in two engagements at
Fort Lancaster, in which Sergeant Of the Eighth
Infantry was killed. The Indians were mounted
and armed with sharpe's and Colts rifles.
