From the Houston Telegraph we extract the fol.
lowing:
The people of Parker county held meetings on
the 10th ult., the I'd and 4th inst. They deter
mined to put companies of rangers temporarily to
guard the settlements, until an expedition could
be organized to pursue the Indians and paniah
| them for their outrages. Commissioners were ap-
pointed to canvass the State for ad for centribu-
tons of men and means of war. grand rendez-
vous for rangers at Lost Valley, in Jack county
on the 18th of January; all persons to come
armed with rifles, double barreled shot guns and
sx-shooters. An address to the people of the
State was adopted, appealing personally to each
and every portion of the State to geBd up men and
munitions Of war. The appeal itself, recifng the
heartrending narrative, is calculated to arouse
| every sympathy Of humanity. Read the following
extract:
Need we point you to the siekening waste
/ now smoking, fresh in human gore, through Jack,
i Parker, Palo Pinto, and other counties on this
| frontier? Need we point to the cold and ghastly
| forms of Mr.. White, Mr.. Brown, Hrs. Sherman,
Mrs. Gage, and those unoffending little children
and others now lying here promicuously scattered
| you to the bleeding wounds of those yet surviving
| groaning monuments of rapine and murder now
| lying before US ? Need we show you the tracks
| Of those who have been abducted and torn away
| from us, and of whom we can give you no in
| formations Need we reiterate to you the heart
rending narrative Of Mrs. Sherman of the fsndish
treatment she received Do you see ffty-fFe red
demons seize upon her trembling form drag her
away into the open prairie, abusing her person
/ with a damning violence too revolving to be
4 known to q Christian world Now one winds her
4 flowing hair around his left hand, inserts the
| scalping knife around her head, places his right
| foot upon the neck of the PROSTATE body, and
i while she shrieks for mercy tears away the cover
ing nature gave her, leaving the skull bone bare?
| See the meek and bleeding woman groaning and
struggling to crawl through the mud and cold rain
| to hole for water to drink y
