JAcSaBOEo, June Sd, lS60.--We have had another
exciting time here for the last week The day
aiter Hammer started for Austin, Pat Murphy
came to town with zame half dozen other men,
who were all running from Johnson's men to es.

and not doubted, that Murphy was engaged in the
killing Of Cornet, but when he came, lie gave a
very different version of it. He sage that they
forced him to show them where Cornet was, 50
that they might arrest HIM for the killing Of Neigh
bors, and when they got to about quarter Of a
mile Of the place they made him stops and be was
not allowed to witness the killing of Cornet. He
only heard the report of the guns. Now they are
after Baylor, Hammer and Pat Murphy. They do
not claim to be under the command Of Col John
He says-and it is the general belief here
that Hammer will never live to get to Austin and
home again-that they will kill him. Five men
have already fallen victims to them, and no one
seems to know what will be the end thereof y
If our Governor is sending out men
to extermnate the white race, the sooner he is de-
posed the better think-even I.
Col. III. I. Johnson and his men were in camp
near Belknap, on the 18th May. His field officers
are Lieut. Col. Smith and Major Fitzhugh. The
Indians are said to have several times stampeded
the horses the volunteers, under the cover of the
night.
The Corpus Christi Ranchero states that the body
Of man named Hagen, was found al few days since
near Santa Rosa, murdered and buried in the sand.
0. NJ. jackson, who accompanied Hagen from
Brownsville with small cauauado, is supposed to
have murdered him and ran away with the stock
Laredo, June 4th, saya:
This country is suffering dreadfully from want Of
protection. Yesterday the Indians killed five men
and took one boy prisoner, and have stolen great
quantities of horses from both sides Of the Rio
Grande. These Indians are scattered all over this
country. They took q man, named Juan Eseoba,
prisoner yesterday. He lived with these Indians
about ten years, and only escaped from them about
three years ago. He knew the Indians well, as they
belonged to the Indian village he lived in long,
and they turned him loose for old acquaintance
sake. They told him that 600 warriors had come
from their encampment in New Mexico: that a
large party passed through Texas and intended to
commit depredatons near San Antonio; and that
all the rest scattered through Mexico, except
about 100, who intended to steal and commit out
RACES on both sides of the Rio Grande. / believe
the man tells the truth, as know him well.
The Lamar County Press of the 18th says:
This section of the country has been blessed
with abundant showers of rain within the last
week. II was beginning to be much needed, but
has come in time to insure an abundant crop Of
corn, and the cotton never looked better in this
section. The wheat crop is now about harvested
and though light, owing to the severe freezes-dur.
ing the winter, there will be enough made to sup
ply all the demands.
The oat, rye, and Hungarian grass crop is excel.
lent, so far as we have heard, or been able to
judge. NJ
Some two months ago there were some fears Of
scarcity of provisions of most all kinds in this

need no longer exist. There is yet plenty of old
corn and wheat in the country, and 1t is now IL

At Paris, Lamar county, on the night of the 15t1
MFR. J.W Wells, of that place, was shot at and
wounded in the foot by some person unknown.
The Bolton Independent mentions another shoot.
ing ARRAY which occurred in that place on Friday
last. A Mr. Garrett shot Geo. I. Williams, killing
him instantly. Many other shots were fred but
no one else hurt. The parties were transient
persons.
Mr.. George Eisel was stabbed and killed by his
nephew, John Eisel, in Brazoria on the 9th.
The Dallas Herald says that son of Mr.. Pleas
ant Taylor, while stalking his horse out to grass,
was 80 unfortunate as to get the lariat fastened
around his arm, and the horse becoming frightened
dragged him about mile and half, killing and
mutiating him in horrid manner.
From the San Antonio Herald of the 22d we ex-
tract the following Indian news:
Since the news which we gave yesterday morn
ing appeared, we have seen Capt lrumlnson. who
informs us that the number of horses stolen is be-
tween two and three hundred. The Mexican who
was captured by the Indians was engaged in
catching wild mustangs, and had just caught n colt
the sayages surrounded him and made him their
prisoner: they first endeavored to make him tell
them where they could get good haul Of horses !;
after which they placed lin upon the back Of a
poor old broken down horse, and commenced their
Journey towards the settlement.
From signs which the Mexicans could not mis-
take, he was we'll satisfied that they intended to
kill him, and as soon as a favorable opportunity
offered he leaped from his horse and took to a
large thieket Seven arrows were Immediately dis
charged at him, two of which passed through his
hat and five lodged on his person, some Of which
inflicted severe wounds. MIR. Geo. Macdonoughly,
who saw DR.. James MeCrady extract the spikes,
says one of the wounds was nearly five inches
deep, others near two and a half inches long.
The spikes are supposed to be those of the CO.
manche. There were nine Indians in this party,
and it is believed that there are some twenty-five
or thirty in the whole. They crossed the Rio
Grande below Laredo. We understand that Lieut.
Kennedy and his command of minute men are ii
pursuit of them; but this is too small company
to cope with them.
We learn from Mr.. S. Pearce, who resides on the
Ma Cell, about two miles below the Laredo road
that an Indian was discovered trailing man named
Isawhorn. on the 18th inst, and as Mr.. LawhorI
fortunately saw the Indian FIRST he managed to es
cape and reach camp where his comrades were
L. J. w. Edwards, VIM. Parchman, L. J. West ant
Messrs. Joseph. Martin, Perry and Right Lawhorn
all of whom gave chase to the Indian, who on dis
covering his situation fought like tiger to the last
