Tn. Abo,it,ou raid ON Texas.

A writer in the n. o. Picayus, of the llth inst,
says
In connection with the reported taking of Fort
Ouachta By the notorious Montgomery Of Kan
sss Abolition fame, it may be well to state
that three weeks ago, learned in Galveston. on
undoubied authority from st Louis. Uid New Or
leans and published it IN the Galveston NslrS, that
Mr. Lncolns Secretary of War had. about week.
before sent dispatch to Major Montgomery. U. S.
A. at st Louis, to instruct Major Emory (whO has
something to do with the overland mail rou;e) to
concentrate all the force he could at Forts Qua
chita Cobb, and ArbUckle, which posts are Just
on side of the northern frontier OF Texas and par
allel with it.
Major Emory was to use his own discretion as
to when and how to carry out the order This
news has doubtless ere this reached the Texas
frontier
Major Montgomery, you will remember was
taken prisoner the other dsy by the Arkansas State
troops at or Fort Smith. on the western from
tier Of that State and the point OF departure of the
overland stages.
Fort Ouachita Is on the Camanche Reserve, to the
northwest of Texas. and will afford Montgomery
an excellent opportunity, backed by those indians,
who all hate the Texans, to depredate in our
State.
Col Baylor and some thousands of experienced
Texas Rangers are that frontier; and row that
the c. s. Government gives these brave men and
indomitable Indian fighters the authority and
means to protect themselves, Montgomery and hi
band will stand but little chance of holding the fort
The Indian Nation would ask no better employment:
than to sweep him into nothingness. They are
strongly Southern, and bitter anti Kansas, anti
AboitOnist and anti Montgomery.
