The Brownsville Flag states that the yellow fever
is in Brownsville, but that it appears to be mainly
confined to the employees of the steamboats, plying
on the river, though there are few cases among
the citizens of the town.
The Sherman Patriot states that the following
news has reached it, from what it considers reli
able source:
The Indians are again committing depredatons
on our frontier. On the head of Denton and Clear
creeks several families have been murdered, and
most of the stock killed or carried off. The people
are alarmed, and rapidly forting up. The
neighboring counties should try and send them re-
lief as those depredations will be likely to continue
until the Indians receive drubbing at the hands
of the whites.
The Austin State Gazette says the agony is over
the Ell Paso vote has come in. 1t is: for Buckley,

The same paper has the following:
A report has reached here, from quarter emit
tied to reliance which indicates the existence of
bad state of affairs the Camanche Reservation.
Several weeks since it appears that Catemse mott
fed the agent of the presence of hostile Camanche
in his camps. The agent made a requisition on
Lieutenant Van Camp for detachmant of troops
to arrest the Indian. The Lieutenant came at the
head of twenty-five or thirty men, accompanied by
the agent and by Catemse, with some half dozen of
his warriors.
When they arrived at the Camanche village they
found all the balance of the Indians under arms and
determined to defend the intruding enemy. They
numbered between so and 100, and were well posted.
Lieut.. Van Camp was forced to compromise by al
lowing the Indian to be sent off without arrest
The rebellious Camanches said to have pretend
ed to have labored under the belief that Lieut. Van
Camp had come to kill all of them
The Arizona Mining Company Expedition left
San Antonio on the Goth ult., for their destination,
with very complete outfit.
The San Diego mail party arrived at San Anto-
MO on the 2lst, and reported all quiet along the

The New York Day Book has recently learned the
particulars OF most singular story, the hero of
which is now residing in New York. MIR. de Cour-
cees, gentleman Of culture and elegance, was in
lS4S, wealthy planter in Gaudaloupe. Conse-
quent upon the French revolution of that year, the
"slaves" in the island were emancipated; he was
violently opposed to this enforced Aboltionism AT
public dinner given at the period, he was as
signed seat next to one ofthe freed negroes which
he refused to occupy; some alteration ensued and
he was desired to pledge in wine the health of the
same individual, and peremptorily declined putting
himself on an equality with one so greatly his in
ferior. An esctandre occurred; blows and duel
came next, and Mr.. de Courcelles became the object
of suspicion and mistrust to the government In
fine, their treatment of him was so offensive that he
lost all his property and was virtually exiled He
has been for some time living in New York, en-
deavoring to support himself by some honorable
ayoeation, and with his wife is now teaching
school.
