turies since royal Prince filled the Office OF
Lord Lieutenant. it's understood that the
Queen, accompanied by the Prince Consort
and the Prince of Wales, will hold Court
at Dublin Castle and will be present at a

- TEXAS RANGERS CCT OFF BY eINDIAS6.--
The Leon County (Texas) Herald gives an
account of the destruction ofCapt. Ford's
company of rangers in a draperate fight
with the Indians. -
S Capt. Ford, with forty-seven men, left
camp in pursuit Of the Indians, who had
carried off four hundred horses. He was
joined by two hundred friendly Indians, and
afterwards by Major Van Dorm, with two
hundred and eighty regulars.
After the united forces had passed the
head-waters of Red river, Major Van Dorm,
not deeming il prudent to press the pursuit
further without additional supplies for men
and horses, turned back. Capt Ford and
men, with the friendly Indians, continued
TIVE days travelling in the direction of Kan
sas Between midnight and day-break OF
the second night, the friendly Indians left
the camp of Capt. Ford. About daylight,
Capt. Ford found himself surrounded by
500 warriors, who demanded his surrender.
He refused, and ordered his men to prepare
for fight, each being armed with two reyolv-
ers and rife. They fought brayely and
desperately, but were oyerpowered by num-
bers, and all butchered except Capt. Ford
and four of his men, who ent their way
through and escaped. s.

&C. Wrought iron railroad cars are COM
ing into use. They are more safe and dura-
BILE, lighter and better in every respect than
the wooden structures. An iron car, ele-
gantly furnished with papier mache, capa-
bic of accommodating sixty passengers,
weighs only 5000 pounds, while the wood
en- car of the same dimensions weighs from
$4,000 To $4,000 pounds. The saving in
draught to the locomotive on steep grades,
and the wear of rails, would be sufficient TO
secure their immediate adoption, without
other advantages.

CALIFORNIA NEws-DIvIsIoN OF THE STATE
PRoPosRD-A San Francisco CALI letter,
under date of March 20, says:
One ofthe acts which has recently passed
our Senate is that extending the provisions
of the homestead act to single persons. Ii
allows each unmarried individual to sci
apart 50, 500 worth ofreal estate property,
or homestead reservation. Ii is now before
the House, and as majority of the mem
bers are, and in all probability will continue
to be unmarried individuals it will likely
pass. Another still more important bill in.
trodueed by Don Andreas .Pico, provide;
that the southern counties OF the STATE shall
be separated from the rest, and formed into
a new Territory, to be called Colorado

neA- A large number of the laborers and
Chicago Railroad, who had become impa-
tent for long deferred payments, assembled
to the number of 400 or 500 at Brighton, on
the line ofthe road, and attempted to enforce
a liquidation of their demands by stopping
the passenger trains both on Thursday and
Friday mornings. The rioters were armed
with guns and pistols, but on the appear
ance Of the U. S. Marshal, they all fled but
eight, who were arrested and sent TO prison.
The affairs of the said road are badly man
aged, and its revenues squandered and pecu-
lated upon, and its honest creditors de-
frauded. as

The Citizens Of Henderson county are max
ing another effort to complete their por-
ton of the Henderson and Nashville railroad;
and, as We are informed, with fattering
prospects of success. Il will require but
Sl5o,ooo to complete the road through the
county--e distance of twenty miles. The
funds for the completion of the road are be-
ing subscribed on the condition that one
fourth of the amount shall be paid when
the FIRST FIVE miles are finished, and the 9TH
er three-fourths as each successive ive-mile
section is completed. The stock, we are told
is nearly all taken on these terms, and con-
tracts for cross-ties and iron are being made.
To complete the first ive-mile section, Col.
Henry, the President of the Company, offers
to raise the means by pledging his private
property. This is certainly public spirited
offer, and evinces his confidence in the abil-
ity of the Company to finish the road with
the sum subscribed The apathy heretofore
evinced by the people of Henderson in the
important work, has been a matter of sur
prise to their neighbors.
The Southern division of the road, from
Nashville north, is being pushed forward
with energy into the coal-6elds of Hopkins
county, for..the purpose of getting at good
supply of cheap coal for the city Of Nash
vile. This portion of the road will be COM
