Indian Fight i'm Texas.

The Teas Rangers NctOri0us'- many
Indians killed and aOOunded-!hree
hundred horses captured.
The New Orleans Picayune OF the 20
inst. says We recently published some
particulars of an expedition of Texas
! Rangers, commanded by capt. John D
Ford. famous Indian igh,er, in search
of and against the Nakonies, a band oil
Camsnches. The expedition left Fort
Belknap on The 25lh of April, Captain
Ford having under his command III Kan
gers and 10 Indians from BfazoS he-
serve. Ii was stated that Fords men
were we'll mounted and equipped, an"
each man, in addition TO a good gun, had
one or two six shooters (Colt's naval re-
volvers.)
The letter states that an express from
Cant. Ford arrived al Austin on the even
inc of the 10Th ult., with the intelligence
ihal the expedition had fallen IN win
The Indians, and that running hight COW
ering six miles Of ground, had been
fought, in which the Rangers were com
plelely victorious. The Indians, 1t ap-
GEARS, numbered some two hundred war
riors, and Ford had l02 Rangers and lI5
Reserved Irdians--lhe latter under com
mant of Capt. Bass. Capt. Ford reports
76 Indians known 20 re killed. several
wounded. and II taken prisoners and 300
horses captured. The loss OF The Kan
gers was one white man and one Indian
killed. and two slightly wounded. Tins is
indeed telling blow The Indians have re-
ceived. 1t is long time since such
lesson was administered TO them, and this
will, il is to BE presumed, be elleclusl in
putting a stop to their depredatlons on the
northern frontier.
The Rangers, it was stated, were all
picked men, and being unencumbered
with baggage, could march with great ra-
pidity. The Nakones were believed TO,
be camped nearly north of Fort BeIknaP,
about three days good travel, and nor'h
Of Red River, and it was understood that
they were confident Of whipping any force
sent against them.
We have been expecting 10 receive, by
every recent arrival from Texas, accounts
Of this expedition, and last evening we
were grarfed by the perusal OF a letter
from Austin. briefly announcing that Ford
has achieved such victory over the In
dians as will mos probably cause the sur
vivors to remove quickly and permanently
from the northern frontier.
We have no further particulars, but from
the information we had of Captain Ford s
plans, we are inclined TO think that the
fight was principally fought by the Ran
gers, unassisted by the Indians from the
Reserve, as Capt. Ford reports 300 horses
captured, and it was stated when he leIt
Fort Belknap that he intended TO employ
his Indian allies in stealing or slampedlng
the Nakonies horses before the attack
was made. so as 10 prevent the enemy
from making their escape, and in this he
appears 10 have been successful.
