We publish below letter received this evening
by the Belkuap mail, from Mr. Prince, olOrk Of
Parker county, From u correspondent at Bslk'
nan, we learn "that Mr., John Gib5ans, u citizen
of that place, had just returned from the Clear
Fork country, and reported that he had met Cap
tam Baylor witha small company Ofmon on their
way to the upper Agency" Their object is not
known, but it is rumored that they have petit
tion signed by two thousand subscribers, request
ing the present Indian Agents to resign their
commissions. 1t isreportcd that considerable eS-
citemont prevails in the Clear Fork Our cores
pondent's lotter is dated May Ith. The Frontier
News, of May 9th, states that Baylor had al.
ready killed 10 Indians, finding them within the
vicinity of the Upper Reserve ;'thcir oIlcnse Is,
not stated more than that, they were oil tho Re-
scryation. The News states that company of
Cavalry was ordered out under Capt. King, to-
gcther with one hundred Indians to pursue Bay
lor and his men. 1t is thought that Baylor had
rctreatcd, and was expecting rcinIorccmonts.-
The News" thinks that Cavalry and Indians
would better 60 homc," for Baylor is "OrjWbad'
at fighting, and ''will he apt to wake the lndians
if he (Baylor tho fighting many should catch
them outside of the Reserve" 1t is more than
probable that both Cavalry and Indians wonld be
thankful for the advice. We give entire the let
ter of Mr.. Prince, knowing him to be perfectly
reliable.
