Dear HeralH Since writing an account of the
Indian fight in this county, have heard of another
affair in Jack county. On the 1lth ins six citizens
in Jack county came upon party Of five Indians,
on the prairie N. w. of Jacksborre, who were en-
gagged in skinntng beef They Immediately charged
upon the Indians, and commenced firing on them
The Indians at first did not rum but called out, ''me
Tonk-me good INDIAN Their employment prov
ing the contrary, the citizens,kept on, seeing which,
the Indians left in hurry taking with them three of
their horses, and leaving twelve, which were taken
possession of by the citizens. Eight of the horses
have been returned to their owners, in Jack and
Wise counties. Some of the horses stolen with
in six miles of Decatur
have learned the names of three of the citizens
which are Messrs. Cumby, Ayerhart and Shelton
Mr.. Shelton received flesh wound in the side from
an arrow 1t is not known whether any of the In
dians were wounded.
Now, Mr.. Editor, is comment necessary? 1t seems
to that the question to who are the depredaors
of the frontier is answered emphatically. Here
toore, many persons honestly believed the Lower Re-
Indians guiltess of the charges brought against
them, and a few were dubbed with the questionable
title of " Indian men, because of their obtuseness.
But the testimony is getting thick and stronge no
maybe-sos-but plain, positive proof, such would
convict them before a jury .Mormons.
In the affair Fish creek, Mr. Tackett is positive
of the character of the Indans-and he had a very
good opportunity of Judging, for he within thirty
feet of them. And in the recent occurrence in Jack
county, the Indians themselves told their tale
l have just read your article on the Governors In
augural and it fits the case precisely. Our frontier
tired of 9" Moral SuasiOn," and will have none
of it. " Moral suasion, has almost deropulated the
whole frontier it has stolen horses, killed cat
tie and murdered people, and you can just tell
our Governor. and the Legislature that the only per-
suason necessary, is by the Rifle and the Revolver
in the hands of the Ranger. = =.

Iy" A correspondent Of the State Gazette, writing
from Rio Grandc City, pays high compliment to the
horosm of Capt. Ford, in the late rOut Of Cor,nas
forces His GOODNESS and yalor were marked with
sound judgment, and never for moment did he re-
lax his pursuit until the rout was complete. As an
officer, he stands high well for personal bravery MS
for GOODNESS and discretion. Texas may well feel
proud of his efforts on this occasion. lie is reported
TO have said before the fight, that if he could ever
hear the sound of Cornns cannon, lie would silence
them before he stopped the fight lie kept his word
the cannon were slenced, and the enemy entirely
dispersed His Texans were willing to follow the
cut-throat murderer, Cor;nas to Monterey, if Ford
would only lead them on.
Major lleintzeman has likewise distinguished him

paign lie is n United States officer, and already
stands high in the army for his great personal bra

MORE "FAcrs FOR THE PEOPLE. THAT Gov. Hous-
ton has vetoed the Bill, supplementary, and amenda-
tory of can act to provide relief for the Presumption
settlers"
We happen to know something of the state of feel
ing on the frontier, where the people feel deeply in
teresed in this matter. His veto will fall like hot
shot into their camp; but thanks to Democratic ma
iority in the Legislature, the Bill will be passed over
his head. In the Senate it passed without dissenting
voice. and the Senate is Democratic. 1t is well for
the Pre-emptoniss that there is Democratic Legis-
isature to watch the veto power Of the Opposition
Governor but the man who vetoes his own likeness
will veto any thing else.
