TIE Wichita Indians seem TO have been seized with
a wholesome alarn from the chastseInent which our
troops have given the Comanches. They were wit
nesses Of the late fight between Major Van Dorm and
the Comsnches, it having taken place near their vii
lage. The Comanches, IN fact, IN Their flight ran pre-
ciptately through their village, mixing them mp with
the Comanches, so that several WIchtas were Killed
by the pursuers through mistake.
They have been sly rosues and cunning thieves

at the time; then it blew down the snloke-house Of
l. II. Stuart; pursuing northeastcrly direction, II
passed the Saline and then about three miles west of
this place in a straight line for the Mound Prairie set
tlement unroong several houses tearing the fences to
pieces blowing down trees to such an extent as to
render it almost impossible to pass scattering the
fodderstacks tearing open the cotton-pens, &C.. Nc.
Near VIM. Crays, about Elk miles north OF ms
place, it blew tree upon MI Shepard, who lives IN
Bas,rop County, crushing him so badly that 1t is
thought he cannot possibly survive. MIR. ). was
WAGNER, had just made the trip from Houston to
kickapoo in this County, with load OF goods, and
was returning with cotton We nave heard OF sew
eral other persons being more or less injured, but
none fatally. The damage done 10 the timber in this
county is considerable, making almost clean sweep
in its track which is twenty-five or thirty miles in
length, and onehalf mile wide on an average. Inc
wind was very heavy generally; even here Il blew
down large two-story frame recently erected on the
south side Of the square and several shade trees

river we understand, ls again rising rapidly; II Is
thought that it will be high enough for boats in few
