T.JFE IN TEXAS.

\ correspondent, writing from Eratf Coun-
ty. Texas, under date of Aug ID, says:-
Foul murders, killing, and fighting, are en-
tirey of too frequent occurrence in this part
of the country. | would to Heaven we had
less of it. Ever since last February have
been in one continued state of excitement,
ing 10 the war, the murders. the ravages, and
the slaughter of women and children by the
neighDoring savageS. But their most intense
hostility has been directed to our live stock
hundreds and may say thousands of horses
have been killed or carried off by them and
Snch has been the apathy Of people at a dist
ance, that they have seemed to regard the
counts as our delusve stories. 1t is true that
our Governor ordered out Minutemen, Ran
gers, and Regiment of Cavalry, but they
so slow getting along, and so badly Off
cered, that they have done little or good,
many of the officers of the regiment seeming
10 regard the whole affair as either visionary,
useless, or as an electioneering scheme.
And, as the thing has gone off, it has proved
an effectual call for all the grand villains and
horse thieves to gather in for their share Of
the booty. AS the vultures gather around a
carcass, or as the wolves follow in the wake of
Butfaloes, so the rogues have come here.
White men have come in and taken the pla-
ces of the fierce Cammanches and the prowl-
ing Caddos. But the ire and Indignation of
the more hardy and honest portion has been
aroused. Some of those fair skinned savages
have been caught. One in this county has
been hung aud hear that several in Tarrant
have shared the same fate q can't say wheth'
er it be true not) but very respectable
Vigilance Committee, consisting OF citizens oil
This county and Bosque, have spent nearly a
week in investigating the case OF the principal
rogue, Tucker by name. This Tucker they
nave turned over to the civil authorities, he
having made a clean confession of the whole
,hlng' The examination of the others has
oeen deferred until they can send for more
persons. l have no doubt but that the thing
VIII go on lively now for some time. But we
