aid of the 9Th inst, we find letter describing
bloody battle with the Indians, on the Northern
frontiers of Texas, in which Capt. Fords Ran
gers, forty-seven in number, were surrounded
by 500 Indians, and all massacred but five
Here is the letter:
al give you below brief statement of the
loss Of forty two OF our brave Rangers in an un
fortunate engagement with the Indians
Capt. Ford, with forty seven OF his men, left
camp in pursuit of the Indians, "ho bad carried
off 400 horses. He was joined by two hundred
friendly Indians, and afterwards by Major Van
Dorm, With $50 regulars.
After the united forces had passed the head
waters OF the Red River, Major Van Dorm, not
deeming it prudent to press the pursuit further
without additional supplies for men and
horses, turned back. Capt. Ford and men, with
the friendly Indians, continued two days travel,
ing in the direction Of Kansas. Between mid
night and day break Of the second night, the
friendly Indians left the camp Of Capt. Ford
About daylight Capt. Ford found himself sur
rounded by eight hundred Warriors who de-
manded his surrender. He refused; and Or
dered his men TO prepare to fight, each being
armed with two revolvers and rifle. They
fought bravely and desperately, but were over
powered by numbers, aud all butchered except
Capt. Ford and four Of his men, who cut their
way through aud escaped.
Among the names Of those who fell fighting
brayely. are the two nephews of Gen. Ed. Burle
son, Aaron and his brother Whose father was
killed in former engagement with the Indians
aud whose untimely tate will be deeply regret
ted by friends and relations in our county.
The above information WAS brought me di-
rect from Austin upon the arrival Of the expires.
from Capt. Ford, aud is reliable.
Great excitement prevails in Travis and ad-
joining counties, and it is supposed that com
pany will start in pursuit Of the Indians as sooi
as the necessary preparation can be made"
Respectfully, THOMAS W. BLAKE.

Of the steamer Gen. Pike, which arrived from
above this morning, that the ice in Lake Pepin
broke up on Wednesday last. The Key City,
of the Galena and St. Paul Packet Line, was the
first boat to reach St. Paul from below the
Lake. The Gen. Pike was the first boat direct
from ST. Louis. There was great rejoicing
among the inhabitants of St. Paul on the occa-

on the wharf greeted the first boats through the
Lake.
We are panied to add that the steamer
4Eolian, while attempting to 60 through the
Lake on Thursday, was crushed by cakes of
ice driven against her by the wind and sunk
Four of her passengers were drowned. The
remainder, with the crew, saved themselves by
getting on the ice, from which they we're res

From the Baltimore Sun, On the sicAIes Tragedy.
No married woman can be approached BY anv
man with undue professions Of regard, o. Of
affection, but with On instructive kDOwledge Of
his design. Not the slightest impropriety, not
the least indelicacy in word or deed can b
thrust upon her observation without stsrtling
her honor and putting her on guard. She y g
once armed she has . counsellor ever q her
side TO direct her, and champion 70 defend her
lin true and honorable husband. Hence the
law esteems her guilt at least equal % that Of
the most seductive and designing invader Of her
honor, when she falls.
The married woman is arrayed in the very
panopiy OF virtue and cannot be sMrpyised. She
can hardly be said TO faH-she steps aside Of
her own free will and sins deliberately. With
these premises can there be any difficulty 10
answering the question, what man ought 70 do
in the event supposed. We say just what many
a good and true and honest man has done be-
fore, and We could name shining example in
the act Of one who well deserves the title Of
hero and philosopher.
He neither slew the man nor the woman. He
called the erring wife befo4e him, and bade her
take whatever she could righ.fully claim as her
own, and leave him forever, and then like the
hero that he was and is, he pursued manfnlly
the ever tenor Of his way, and oil men honor
him. This is what, in our opinion, . man ought
to do.
