The returns so far received indicate an over
whelming majority for immediate secession.
The Galveston Civilian of Tuesday last gives the
following account of fatal a6ray:
A man named George Williams was killed on
board the steamer A. S. Ruthven, this afternoon,
by the mate Of the boat, Mr.. Geo. Hartley. 1t
appears, from what we could learn OF the affair,
that Williams was watchman Of the Ruthven, and
was discharged this morning in consequence OF
neGlecting his duty. An alteration took place
between the mate and Williams the latter, draw
ing revolver, thrgatened to kill Hartley. and fol
lowed him to his room saying he would take his
life. 1t appears that Hartley drew a knife and
stabbed Williams in the side. He only lived few
minutes after the bow. Hartley has surrendered
himself. The Coroner is empanne!ing jury OF in-
quest. We await the result for further particulars.
The Bosque Times says that the 3Oth ult. an
Indian trail was discovered by Capt. Fuller, com
| ing down beyond the village of Hyco, in the north
east corner of Hamilton county AS soon as a
| company could be mounted they started in pur-
| suit.
Near the point of the mountains in ravne they
found where they had camped. Their camp was
in little ravne, where some mocaBin tracks, some
boot tracks, and some unsalted beef were found.
Near this camp the rangers found about hundred
1 head of horses-none of which they were able to
locate. The horses seem to have been herded.
The Hyco rangers were joined by a company
from Hampton, but separated next morning, one
comnanv fo1owinr The Indiana and the others

were supposed to be FIVE or six Indians, mostly on
foot.
The Times says that Capt. Barry has returned
from the Indian country.
| Capt. Barry, with four men, came by the way ot
Jacksbore to see what the 800 Indians, reported or
Red river had done in that SECTION OF the country
He met Capt. Baylor there direct from the Indians
Who reported them to be Choctaws and othei
friendly Indians, killing hogs they had driven intt
mast. Capt. Hammer had not returned from the
Ejckapoo camp, where he has gone to see saft
home The chief Of a little band Of kGkGpOO5, takCt
into Jackaboro by a company Of citizen soldiers
Capt. Barry reports large numbers Of Indians ii
Palo Pinto county, the people being greatly an
be in Bosque county before great while, ant
would advise all to be on the lookout for them.
The Weather:ord White Man News says:
We ~ so'steu, n'Gr,t q ioi'S @ ooit"u T5l II lux
and Curpnt0n, that the Indians in large number
are now in and below the frontier settlements. 4
week ago they passed Ont about 100 horses going
to their camp, and we may expect to hear OF xii!
ing soon, for when they get horses and start baci
then they do the killing. There is large camp oi
the head waters OF the Wichita, BraZos or Colo
RADIO, and those who contemplate going on tn
18th need not be uneasy at not getting into fight
Tie Indians have met with such good success
; heretofore that they are beginning the winter
work in good earnest. We anticipate an eNCitin
time for some months to come, and many har
