Texas Indian NEWS.
The Austin IntelIigencer q .he 18th SAYS !:

The Austin Intelligencer Of the 18th says
Dr. J. 9. Riley who arrived IN the city on Thursday
night says that be left the Sulphur Springs (own Of
Lampasas) on Wednesday, At II O'Clock, where .
courier nad arrived with the news Of large Indian
trail, pointing towards that place and some thirty
miles above It. ~ The time 81 Dr.. Rileys depsyture
from Lampasas, it was understood that company az
tEentyiour men was in the act Of organization for
the purpose Of reconnoiterng and 70 eavs that day.
From the Austin State Gazstte, x "a INC dafa
we extract the following:
Sergeant F. A. Kirk, an express rider.from Cant.
Fords camp in Comanche comfy, reached tbis citv
on Thursday last, having left camp on tie nth inst
The trip was performed with great speed, and uer-
haps in less time than any heretofore.
:, The account OF the company being slaughtered by
the Indians is all false. The Captain had made an
extended scout Of 700 miles. Owing TO the fall Of
snow be did not succeed in oyertaking the Indians
He appears to have sed very great exertjons to OBJ
tain success and he speaks in high terms OF the pa-
tIence, endurance and good conduct Of his men.
HIS men are II constant service. and ready st al
times to do their best 10 protecting the frontier
During the absence Of Capt Ford, two horses were
stolen from the camp He attributes II to the care
lsssness Of sentinel.
Lieut.. D. C. Cowan dated ct San Saba. Lieutenant
Cowan says that the signs of scalped stock and Ar.
rows painted red, which be has found. betoken al

that Capt. Williams with six men-tte balance Of hia

county He followed their trail as fair as he cedar
brakes on the clear fork Of the Brazos river where
the Indians, abandoning some Of their horses, had

Both writers concur in declaring that the people Of
Liam, San Saba and Brown counties are areatIv
alarmed and in deep distress. Capt Williams says
that be IS determined to stand BY them Is long a

In the San Antonio Texan Of the 18th We find th
following:

tN
In the San Antonio Texan Of the 18th We find the
following:
By an express which arrived in San Antonio yes
terday gentleman Of our city received letter from
an old and responsible citizen of chihuahua Mexico
dated March the 2lst, giving most deplorable &C.
count Of that unfortunate country. It seems that life
and property are not safe anywhere, and that the
great mass OF the responsible portion Of the coumu-
nifty look to the United States their only hope
We give below, verbatim that portion Of the letter
referred TO- and it may be considered strictly reliable.
Our country is still in horrid state Of iscord and
| revolution-they have raised an excitement here
against the Liberal party-the majority of the people
are in favor of change, it matters not to them nor
does the calculation enter their heads whether
they are likely to be benefited by the change or not
They have become so accustomed to change from one
party another that they cannot rest unless tbev have
new authorities every few months. Business Is now
exceedingly dull, nor is there any prospect of a
change unless the United States steps in and takes
US under her protecting care. The revenues of the
country are entirely exhausted, nor do they know
how to increase them without oppression. 1t cannot
be denied but that the country is rich in resources
but they will never be developed by these people.
Inc whole country is overrun with Indians and
robbers Hundreds of families are destitute of the
common necessaries of life. The men are dragged
from their homes to fill the armies of the several
begerent parties thus their families are left to the
mercy of the robbers and Indians
Inc partisan chiefs are now beginning to show
their true colors Their acts avow clearly their OBJ
ject to sack citizens and plumber the Inhabitants It
is truly war of rapine. None save those who are
here can form any correct opinion of the true state Of
this unfortunate country.

A DREADFUL DEArH-In Reading, Pennsylvania,
afew days ago, lamp filed with camphene exploded
throwing its inaammable contents over a woman
and burning her severely that she died on the fol-
lowing day. While enveoped in flames she had pres
ence Of mind to warn her children not to approach
her. Speaking of accidents of this kind the Column
bus (Ga.) Corner Stone says:
Scarcely week passes in which we do not see an
account Of female burnt to death by the catch
ing on fire of her clothing. Much Of the danger and
fatality of this might be prevented by the exercise Of
little presence of mind and courage. II they would
Immediately lie down, the clothing would burn much
less rapidly, and the flames would not ascend to the
body and face. If parents will impress upon their
children the importance of this, and females will
accustom themselves to talk and to think Of it as the
best remedy they would instead Of missing adopt it
at once because it would occur to them a. the best
plan, and it would save many q life.
Therefore, let parents talk to their children about
it let women generally talk and think about ii, and
become accustomed to think Of it as the only plan Of
safety upon such OCCASIONS and they will nsnctvely
adODt it.
