GIBSON RIFLEMEN.-A finer company of
volunteers than the Gibson Rifemen rarely
enters service. We might say they are the
picked young men of the county. Among
their number is the Postmaster of Prince
ton, Editor of Indianian, one Lawyer, two
Doctors, several Merchants, number of our
best Mechanics, and many of the very best
business young men in the city. About
two thirds of the Company are from Prince
ton.
The Captain and Ist Lieutenant did
honorable service in the Mexican War. and
another of the Lieutenants, Chas. A Morgan.
served under Uncle Sam FIVE years in the
Frontier service. The Capt, DR.. Kidd. is
as brave man as lives, and carries honor
able scars obtained in several conflicts with
the enemy in Mexico.-Indjanian

so complete weapon could be manufactured at
any point in the South, after so short atrial, and
without the necessary machinery.
The Sumner arnOry company deserve the highest
credit for the great perfection to which they have

We understand that the name Of this distinguished
gentleman hss bean urged by his friends at Rich
mond for diplomatic position, near some of the
European Governments, for the purpose of assisting
the able dplomatsts already in Europe in securing
the recognition of the independence Of the Confed
crate States and concluding favorable treaties Of
anity ana commerce.
MR. WILLIAMS proved himself to be skiIfnl and
able diplomAtist, while representing the Govern
ment Of the United States as ConstantnopIe, and
formed an acquaintance with the leading diple-
mstists of Europe while be acquired an experience
that would prove valuable assistance to him,
should he be bonored by such commits
sion from President DAVIS. No man in the
Confederate States is more familiar with
the questions which lie at the basis Of
our war for Independence and none knows better
the obstacles to overcome with European Govern
ment., in insuring US a favorable hearing, or how
to meet the objections that may fall in the path of
our Commissioners.
II is NOT perhaps, known, that the duties of Min
ister to Turkey are more arduous aud multiplied
than those Of any other European mission Yetit is
So Every American travelling in the East,
and every American merchant vessel, is com
PEELED to secure the protection Of the
American Minister st ConstaLtinople in order to
ensure freedom from interruption and imposi-
ton This fact makes the duties of United States
Minister very onerous, and while it may not bring
him in contact with as great and important ques
tions of diplomacy as some other missions, it gives
to him very large experience in the duties of a
Minister.
We would be very far from limiting the cleo
ton, which the President may make of
the men charged with the duties of commits
sioners, to the limits of State lines. We cheer
fully admit that the men best suited to the mission
should be chosen, without regard to locality. This
is true of all officers and we are anxious that such
rule should be uniformly adopted in the early
period of our Government, go as to furnish pre-
cedent for all future time. Yer, at the same time,
it is wise and liberal in the Government ard flats
tering to State pride, to make as and equable
distribution ofimportant positions the interests
of the people and the intentions of Government will
allow C1esrisp dri5s, all the States should have
share in the Administration. This latter principle
should always be subordinate to the high demands
of the public service. 1t would therefore be del
cate compliment to Tennessee, from the Executive
to recognize her public spirit and eminent men, by
making selection FOR some high diplomatic post
fromsamong the latter.

Indian nenredattons.

From Mr.. J. B. Dunn, direct from Western
Texas, we leara that party of Comanche Indians
came down upon Erath county on the LIST inst and
killed five of our men in skirmsh, and made their
escape. 1t is supposed thst they numbered about
sixty warriors, and that they carried OFT about
two hundred horses. A large company was or
ganized and armed prepared to pursue the Indians
when Mr.. Dunn left on the ID instant The fight
occurred at Cow-House Mountain. and there were
only fifteen Citizens engaged. The Indians were
armed with Minnie maskets, siX-shooters and bows
and arrows. The Comanches, through their chiefs,
Buffalo Hump and Hozah Msreah, made definite
treaty with Gen. Albert Pike. but afterwards re-
turned him the Confederate flag, saying that "they
did not want his old rag"
They have about twenty thousand warriors
scattered oger the western plains of the Rocky
Mountains, and make their raids upon the frontier
settlements with bands numbering from ten 70 five
hundred.
1t was presumed that they are obtaining assist
ance from the Abolitionists, and will prosecute a
very active campaign during the next three months.
Their intention is to steal horses and run of to their
homes. They are very cowardly race and have
no idea of conquering the whites. They have eff
fectua1y checked the tide of western emigration
