To infest the air with his pestent breath,
And to cloud the morning sun.
And pray how was this devil dressdl
Oh he was cased in an iron vest;
His scales were close, and his rivets true.

And an air gun, elegant, polished and round,
That would kill miles of, with never sound.

And over the laurels Of fnll. blown Fame,
And the tender shoots Of the young Good Name,
He stamped with his merciless hoof OF shame,
And left his print on each.
And backward and forward he wrggied his
Through the ss.trimm'd and garden and liy.
strewn vale
Marking his course by q loathsome trail,
Like snail-usck over peach.
He spied laborsr hard at work,
EARLY at his vocation.
His prominence offered Q capital shot.
"OhO' quOth the devil he sees me not.
So he shouldered his piece and he aimed, God

With terrible CALCULATION!
He saw young innocent folks at play,
Blameless, beautiful, wise and gay.
The prospect liked not him.
So vitri0l.hssk from his pouch he drew,

Ger the fair young group, whom he left crew
OF monsters scarr'd and grim.
He peered in house twas goodly manse,

And was still erect and fair.

A Mrs Hall declares. about sun down she heard n

afraid and hid in the corn field. The Indians were
Comlnches, and about fifteen in number. They
stopped in the yard, danced a war dance, and yelled
as II they we're mad. About seventy horses were
stolen, and the best informed of their natives, say
they will steal horses in the Chickasaw nation until
they are supplied with enough to bear down on the
Texas frontier.
On the above information being given, the COM
manding officer ordered a scout to be commanded by
Lieut.. r. H. Oitiey, who came upon their first camp
in one hour, but they left their breakfast mounted
