IndIan Ne,rs from Te.as.

From the McIennan Democrat of the 2sth nit.
we extract the following:
Welearn from Mr.. Conrad, who is Just down from
Stephensgille, that on last Monday week party of
Indians were seen within three miles Of the town Of
Stephensyille-that they went into Mr. Gilibreatis s
field aud shot two arrows into one OF his mares
and succeeded in driving off from the neighborhood
several horses. They were afterwards seen some
five miles below Stephensville. Capt. Lowe i'm
Inediately raised company of minute men, and
made for Jemison's Peak to intercept them; at the
same time detailing two or three men on the trail
in order to run them if possible, toward the peak.
nj. Conrad had not heard the result of the expe-
dition when he left but was satisfied it would be
successful.
Lieut. Sublett writes to Capt. Erath from the
Wichita Agency, under date Of June 9th. He
says:

The Italian Question.

The following decree contains the Of
fetal statement of the concessions made
by the King of Naples:
SOVEREIGN ACT
Desiring to give to our most beloved
subjects mark of our sovereign benev-
olence, we have determined to grant
constitutional and representative insti-
tutions to our kingdom, in harmony with
national and Italian principles, so as to
guarantee future security and prosperity
and to draw always closer the bonds
which unite us to the people whom
Providence has called us to govern
For this object we have arrived at the
following determinations:
l. We grant general amnesty for all
political offenders up to this day.
2. We have charged the Commander
Don Antonio Spinelli, with the forma-
tion of a new Ministry, who shall COM
pile, in the shortest possible time, the
articles Of the statute on the basis of rep
resen tative, italian, and national in
stitutions
3. An agreement will be established
with the King of Sardinia for the COM
mon interests of the two crowns in Italy
4. Our flag shall be from this day for
ward adorned with the national colors in
vertical bands, preserving always the
arms of our dynasty in the center.
8: AS regards Sicily, we will grant it
analogous representative institutions,
such as to satisfy the wants of the
Island; and one of the Princes of our
Royal House shall be our Viceroy.

THANK YOU, SENATOR PUGH.

It is not often that we feel like rem
dering thanks to Democratic Senators,
and especially to the little Senator from
Ohio. But he has done an act for which
the country, and especially the Republi-
cans everywhere, ought to be grateful
He, with several others of the Douglas
National Executive Committee, have is
sued an address to the Democracy of the
United States, in which they declare
that the universal sentiment of the Dou-
glasites is against any compromise with
the Breckinridgers. They say that the
Douglas wing have not, and will not
consent to the proposition to run joint
electoral tickets in any of the States, and
advise that all such propositions be re-
jected with Indignation. They say:
"l zoe hare any friends IN any State,
let them caU q State Convention at once
and nominate q full Electoral ticket,
pledged to the enclusive support Of Douglas
and johnson. We can agree to nothing
else, because to acknowledge the right of q
.tactious minority to dictate their oaon terms
Of cooperation, to suffer them to viozate
the solemn professions Of the Democratic
party, and tranple u'ader foot our Demo-
cratic usages, acould be to disJansd the Ma
ttoaat organization"
If the Breckinridgers don't resent
this they are the meekest of all fire.
eaters; and with Douglas ticket in ev-
cry State where he has any friends, there
will necessarily be Breckenridge ticket
in every State, too. We do not disguise
our satisfaction at this movement; for,
while we believe the election of Lincoln
safe under any circumstances, this pro-
gramme, if carried out, makes it doubly
sure. Again, then, we thank Ohio's re-
tiring Senator for this essential service
to the Republican cause.

L. A. Neims of Warranton, and Dr.
VIM. r. Holmes of Waynesboro, were
Democratic Delegates, from the Demo-
cratic State of Georgia, in the National
Democratic Conventions at Charleston
and Baltimore. Holmes seeded, and
Neims would not secede. In the opin-
ion of the Democratic Holmes, the
Democratic Neims was "traitor" be-
cause he refused to secede. And in the
opinion of the very Democratic Mr..
Neims, his Democratic brother Holmes
was d traitor" because he did secede
and both these Democrats gave free ven
tillation to these Democratic opinions of
each other. Of course, their Democracy
must be vindicated, and their 'honors"
preserved Immaculate But this could on
ly be done by shooting each other. They
thereupon proceeded, according to the
latest edition of the "Code," to blow the
sstraitor" out of each other with gun
powder. They fought with shot guns.
We regret to say that Neims did not hit
Holmes at all. We are happy to record
that Holmes did hit Neims, peppering
him we'll with shot, but are sorry to
learn that he did not finish him. The
result is, that Neims will recover, and
there will be two Democrats with a big
f'traitor" in each, very much in need of
hanging. We trust they will use better
powder and take better aim next time.

1T WON'T WIN.

The Douglas managers in Illinois
have called convention of Bell and Ev-
erett men, to meet at Decatur, on the 10th
of August, to nominate an electoral ticket.
The only hope the Douglas men have OF
saving their candidate from an overwhel-
ming defeat in Illinois, consists in the
vain belief that ticket for Bell and
Everett may draw off votes enough to
defeat Lincoln, or at least reduce his
otherwise large majority. But they
will find themselves mistaken in their
calculations. We believe every vote so
secured to the. Bell ticket will be pos
tive advantage to Lincoln, and for this
reason: No man who will vote for Bell
in any Of the Free States, would, under
any circumstances, vote for Lincoln; and
most of them would, were there no Bell
ticket, finally vote for either Douglas or
Breckinridge.
We therefore think the Douglas lead
ers are preparing club to break their
own craniums, by their desperate engi-
neering of the Bell movement. But we
are satisfied with their benevolent move
ment, if they are Can't Bell ticket
be got up in this county? We think it
might get dozen votes, but not one
that would otherwise vote for Lincoln.
There are doubtless many of our good
citizens here, as well as in Illinois, WHO
would be glad to vote for John Bell, il
it would do any good. But as such a
vote would not only be thrown away,
but aid the Democratic party, no one
who does not hate the Republicans more
than they love their country, will do SC
improbable a job. And we don't be-
lieve there are more than dozen such
in the county. They will not vote fol-
Lincoln, and we have no possible objec-
ton to their voting for Bell it would
simply be so much loss to Douglas OF
Breckenridge.

THE IRREPREssIBLE CONFLICT IN
PENNSYLVANIA. -

The two fac tions of the disrupted De-
mocracy have been laboring to secure a
fusion by way of "trade and dicker, and
it was at one time supposed it would be
accomplished. The effort was to come
to an agreement that the Breckenridge
men should run no ticket in the North
and the Douglas men none in the South,
that all classes, colors and factions of the
Democracy in the Free States should
vote for Douglas electors, and all in the
Slave States for Breckinridge electors,
thus running two purely sectional tickets,
and leave the votes of the electors to be
gambled for if elected. ......... .-
But Forney, and some others, repudi-
ate the trick, and the scheme is likely
to fail. The prospect now is, that both
Douglas and Breckinridge will have an
electoral ticket in nearly every State
They can't trust each other. Either
would rather see Lincoln or Bell elected
than his Democratic rival. And Doug
las and his followers, by getting up an
electoral ticket in the South, can secure
the triumph of Bell in all the Slave
States, in which he (Douglas) can obtain
any considerable vote. Thus to be beaten
in his own section will be severe pun
ishment to Breckinridge, and as there
are but two or three Free States in which
Douglas stood any chance, Breckenridge,
by running ticket in these, can effect
ually insure them for Lincoln.
Thus, while neither of the Demo
cratic candidates can hope for success, he
still has power to punish his rival
And this is an 'irrepressible conflict, .
in which we have implicit faith. Go il
Douglas! Go it Breckenridge! You
both have the hearty wishes of all honest
people for your success in throttline
each other. Even "Cuffee'' and Caesar, y
and ''Sambo,' and ''Ned," take deep in:
terest in the fight, knowing that they
must be of some consequence in the
world to be the cause Of all the club,
bub.' ....,.

Minnesota.
The prospects of Douglas in this
young Northwestern State are fiat
enough. In any event, Lincoln would
have carried the State against Douglas
and united party by large majority.
But in the war Of the factions, the bone
and sinue of the old Democratic organ
ization-the honest voters-are joining
the Republican ranks in platoons.-
Douglas is effectually repudiated by the
leaders of the party.
