ARRIVAL OF TIE Texan IEOOPs.-IEe body Of
Texantroops, whose coming we announced several
days since, arrived here yesterday evening by the
Opelousas Railroad, and were Immediately march
ed up to the Jackson Railroad depot, and will
leave for Virginia by the O'Clock train this morn
ing. They are under command of Senior. Captain
Key, of the Hardeman Texans, and are parts of the
two regiments which rendezgoused at Camp Van
Dorm, near Harrisburg, and which have been ac-
cepted by President Davis for tie war. The de-
tachmcnt consists of five companies, as follows:
Hardeman Texans, Capt Key; Tom Green Rifles,
Capt Carter; Robinson County Fiyeshootcrs,
Capt Townsend; Guadalupe Rangers, Capt.
Bane; and the Lone Star Guards, Capt. Ryan
495 men, all told. They left Camp Van Dorm two
weeks ago yesterday, and in that time have come
four hundred and nnety-eight miles, one hundred
and forty Of which was on foot, through a new
country, with no roads or bridges, the weather all
the time being wretched.
Two other detachments,F consisting of 500 men
each at last accounts, were at Nblett's Bluff on
the Sabine river, awaiting transportation over the
same route and the other detachment was ex-
pected to arrive there in day or two. Those
who arrived here yesterday a very fine body of
men, and their long march and its attending hard
ships does not seem to have affected them in the
least. Such men as these will make quick work
of the Yankee racers when they get chance,
War to them is pastme its hardships are eyery-
day events, for they have been brought up On the
frontier, and have been Graded amid dangers
May it soon be their good fortune to have an op-
portunity to win the glory they have travelled so
far to obtain
CHILD RCT OVER AND CRUsHED.-On Wednes
day evening last little German boy was run over
by cotton wagon upon which he was attempting
to climb, and had his arm badly crushed. He was
taken to the Charity Hospital, where his arm was
amputated, it being impossible to save it. Though
weak from the severity of his sniferings the poor
child is doing well. This should be a warning to
parents who allow their children to run at large in
the streets.
A MAH SHOT UNDER SUSPICIOUS ClRCuAsrAHcEs.
Mr.. ]. NJ. McCandlish, of the firm of H. Block &
Co., grocers, Common street, shot man whom
he found concealed in his yard yesterday morning,
about Il o'clock. One Of the ladies in the house
had been up writing letters to her sons in Virginia
and previous to retiring went out upon the gallery
to enjoy the cool night breeze. While standing
there, concealed by the shade of the building, she
saw man climb the fence and enter the
yard. She Immediately went to Mr. McCandlishs
room, awoke him, and informed him of the fact.
He arose, and providing himself with light and a
revolver, went in search of the night walker; but
after looking through every room of the house and
out in the yard unsuccessfully, it occurred to him
that it might perhaps be some friend of his cook
| negress, about As years of age; so he aweke a
colored man who slept in the kitchen and directed
him to go into the cooks and see if any one
was there. This was done, and still no one was to
be found. But as the boy was descending the
back stairs, with a candle in his hand the light re-
vealed to Mr.. McCandlish a man standing in the
rear of the yard, concealing himself behind the
door Of an onthouse and clothes-horse. He imme.
diately hailed him, and he did so the man
approached rapidly upon Mr.. AIcC., who fired
This stopped his course, and he exclaimed that he
was killed, but that it served him right as he had
no business to enter genteman's yard at such an
hour, He said, further, that he came to visit the
cook, and not with any burglarous intention The
bail entered the thigh OF the man, causing q very
dangerous wound, which, it is feared will prove
mortal. He gave his name as Thomas Lindsay,
and claims to be honest, if not gentemanly in his
habits. Yet, as it is very likely that he entered
the premises with the intention to steal, and only
trumped up the story impromptu upon the idea
suggested by Mr. McCandlish himself when he
sent the boy to search her room, he should be
closely examined and made prove his assertions,
if he gets well.
