world We flourish for while Men take
us by the hand, and are anxious about the
health of our bodies, and laugh at our jokes
and we really think, like the fly oil the
wheel, that we have something to do with
the turning of the earth Some day We die
and are buried The sun does not stop for
our funeral; everything goes on as usual ;
we are not missed in the Streets men laugh
at new jokes one or two hearts feel the
wound of affection, one or Two memories
still hold our names and forms; but the
crowd moves in its daily circle and in three
days the great wave of time sweeps over our
steps and washes out the last vostigc of our
lives.

Fort Ouachita and all the other Forts in the Terri
tory, evacuated by the Federal forces before the
arrival of the Texas troops under Col. Young. The
company to which MIR. Peel belonged, the Deadshot
Rangers from Jefferson, Texas captured fourteen wag
ons belonging to Emorys command, which had been
left behind. A company from Fannn county also cap
tured several wagons. Emory, finding the Texans in
close pursuit of him. threw away guns, ammunition and
Government stores into the Quachta river FIRST destroy
ing the guns by breaking the ocGs and takng them to
pieces. The enemy left at Fort Ouachita large guam
tity of clothing provisions and feIdpece At
Fort Arbucke, also, they abandoned various Govern
ment stores and supplies most of which were stolen and
carried away by The Indians before the Texans got
there.
After taking possession of Fort Arbuckle, it was
garrisoned by company of Choctaw and Chickasaw
Indians, under capt. Mckinney Fort Ouachta was
garrisoned by the Dead Shot Rangers, under captain
Mayberry.
Mr. Peel also states that the Chickasaws held coun-

the Texas troops that within fortyegh hours after the
news came across the Texas border that the Kansas
bandit Montgomery, was coming down, there were lO
600 men under arms who started Immediately to meet
him. He says that instead of there being any Aboli

for fighting, and all classes, including preachers were
eoger for the fray.
