The Weatherford White Man gives an interesting
account of the recognition of the white woman
taken by Ross in the recent Indian fight. She is a
niece Of Col. Isaac Parker. She was taken
prisoner when afchd years old, twenty five years
ago. AftefreoalliDg her infancy to memory, she
was able to give an account Of her captivity, the
murder OF her fatner ana several Othef whites.
She also said that she had lived with the Indians
ever since. Her present home was north of Santa
re. She. has three children two of whom are left
at home. She adds the following:
All the Comanches get together in the fall and
come down to get horses !; the friendly Reserve In
dams always help to steal; Caddoes quit stealing
with Gomanches Comanches and Caddoes, fight
now; friendly Comanches always come to help
steal. Take the horses to Santa Fe and sell them
to white men; some Of them swaps to Mexico all
she Indians on Sweet Water Fork of Red river the
fourth prong on the south side above Big Wichita;
think there is about five hundred5 the little boy the
Indians took was killed, before they came to me
he fought the Indians and did not like to go, and
they killed him. as
The White Man has accounts from Young and
3Paio Pinto counties Of abundance of fresh Indian
jsgus in both of these counties. IT is much to be
hoped the rangers will find the redskins.
We copy the following intelligence of the "Buf-
falo Huntersn from the White Man of the oath y
We received an express from the camp of COL |
Baylor, oniSunday last at which time they were
en- route for the Round Timbers, on the Brazos
river. The Colonel reported all well, andin buoy
ant spirits. The spies have returned and reported
the Indians some loo miles beyond the Round Tim
bers. The buffalo had, however, consumed the
grass for greater portion of the distance. The /
express returned from here with more provisions
and ammunitions for the expedition. By this time
they have organized and are properly under way. |

FIGHTING AGAINST HEAVY 0DDs-Mr. TAYLOR
Meadows, English Consul at Shanghai, while on an
excursion up the Yangtze river, China, on the goth
of October, in his yacht, was attacked by three
piFatical junks, manned by sixty men, and amply
provided with warlike implements, including five
guns, either six or nine Founders. Mr. Meadows
had with him one Englishman and ten Chinese non:
combatants. He was well provided with guns, in
Gliding sharps breech-loader, which he highly
commends, with several other fancy English guns.
The pirates commenced the fight with discharge,
without woundng any one. The Englishmen re-
pied with continuous discharge of rifles, doing
great execution. The pirates sent nine charges of
grape and one round shot at the brave Englishmen,
but at last finding that their men were fast falling
before the murderous discharges Of their oppon-
ents, they put about and ingloriously fed.
