From the NJ o. Picdy1cae, I'd inst
Fight between the Texas Hangers
and Indians.

We recently published some particulars of
an expedition of Texas Rangers commanded
by Capt. John S. Ford, famous Indian fight
err in search of and against the Nakonies, a
band of Camanches. The expedition left Fort
Belknap on the 25th of April, Capt. Ford
having under his command Ill Rangers and
ITO Indians from Brazos Reserve. 1t was
stated that Ford's men were well mounted
and equipped, and each man, in addition to a
good gun. had one or two six shooters Colts
navy revolvers). The Rangers, it was stated,
were all picked men, and being unencumbered
with baggage could march with great ra-
pidity The Nakonies were believed to be
camped nearly north of Fort Belknap, about
three days good travel, and north of Red
River, and it was understood that they were
confident of whipping any force sent against
them.
We have been expecting to receive, by every
recent arrival from Texas, accounts of this
expedition, and last evening we were gratified
by the perusal OF letter from Austin, briefly
announcing that Ford has achieved such a
victory over the Indians as will most proba-
bly, cause the survivors to remove quickly and
permanently from the northern frontier.
The letter states that an express from Capt.
Ford arrived at Austin on the evening of the
goth ult, with the intelligence that the expe-
dition had fallen in with the Indians, and that
running fight covering six miles of ground,
had been fought, in which the Rangers were
completely victorious. The Indians, it APP
pears, numbered some two hundred warriors,
and Ford had 102 Rangers and lis Reserve
Indians-the latter under command of Capt.
Bass. Capt. Ford reports 76 Indians known
to be killed, several wounded, and IL taken
prisoners aud 800 horses captured. The loss
of the Rangers, one white man and one Indian
killed, and two slightly wounded. This is in
deed a telling blow the Indians have received.
Ii is long time since such lesson was adj
ministered to them. and this will. it is to be
presumed. be eifectual in putting stop 10
their depredations on the northern frontier.
We have no further particulars, but from
the information we had OF Capt. Ford's plans.
we are inclined to think that the fight was
principally fought by the Rangers, unassisted
by the Indians from the Reserve, as Capt
Ford reports 800 horses captured. and ii was
stated when he left Fort Belknap that he in
tended to employ bis Indian allies in stealing
or stampeding the Nakonies' horses before the
attack was made, SO as to prevent the enemy
from making their escape, and in this he APP
pears to have been successful.

Early BIOom-The Crops.

Yesterday morning. (says the Columbus
Enquirer, of the 3rd inst.) the I'd of June, we
received full cotton bloom from the planta-
ton of Mr.. Tu.MAN d. WEST, of this county.
This is the first Georgia bloom we have yet
heard of and it Is uncommonly early-we
think nearly a month in advance of the first
bloom last year.
We have also the most flattering accounts
of the crop prospects in this section of the
South. From the southern parts of Russell
and Macon and the upper part of Barbour
counties, Ala, particularly, we hear most
encouraging reports. The corn and cotton
never looked better, and since the late rains
vegetation is growing surprisingly. The oat
crop, however, is said to be generally fail
ure. A good deal ofwheat is already ripe for
the harvest, and the quantity sown is larger
than usual.
tits of course too early yet to indulge in
sanguine expectations as to the yield of the
crops-cotton, particularly. has many risks
to encounter and variety of capricious sea-
sons to go through. But up to the present
time, the prospect is certainly very encourag-
ing. Fruit is unusually abundant-Augusta

The Rock of IOh.

The Book of Job is generally regarded as
the most perfect specimen of the poetry of the
Hebrews. 1t is alike picturesque in the de-
lineation of individual phenomena, and artis-
tically skillful in the didactic arrangements
of the whole work. In all the modern lam
guages into which the book of Job has been
translated, its images drawn from the natural
scenery of the East leaves deep impression
on the mind.
"The Lord walketh on the height of the
waters, on the ridges of the waves towering
high beneath the force of the wind" The
morning red has colored the margins of the
earth, and variously formed the covering of
the clouds, as the hand of man holds the yield
ing clay"
The habits of animals are described, as for
instance, those of the wild ass, the horse, the
buffalo, the rhinoceros, and the crocodile, the
eagle and the ostrich. We see pure ether
spread, during the scorching heat of the south
wind, as a melted mirror over the parched de-
serto
The poetic literature of the Hebrews is not
deficient in variety of form for while the He
brew poetry breathes tone of warlike enthu-
siasm, from Joshua to Samuel. the little book
of the CLEANER Ruth presents US with charm
ing and exquisite picture of nature. Goethe,
at the period of his enthusiasm for the East.
spoke of it as the loveliest of epic and idyl
poetry which we possess"
