Bloody MGiou Raid IN 7eros.-
The San Antonio Herald Of the 25th
uIt., has the following:
We regret TO learn that on Friday
last ten Indians visited Boerne, Blan-
co county, and killed FIVE persons.
whose bodies havebecn found, besides
two or three others are missing. and
it is feared are killed. The names
are Donop, about six miles north of
Boerne, Baptiste, near Boerne, and
Reinhart, living in Boerne. Two OF
kendall's shepherds are killed, two
escaped, and one missing. The In
dams are finely mounted on American
horses, and do not appear to wish to
steal, but to murder. The bodies OF
all the killed had been stri ripped. This
is truly a lamentable state of things
Boerne is about 35 miles north o
San Antonio, and having hitherto
been considered safe from Indial
depredations, the people had becom
Careless fact which had probabl..

TIE 42D REGIMENT.-W learn from Sur
geon Magenniss and Lit. Combs that the AID

road to Memphis. Both these officers leave
for the regiment on Wednesday. If the
friends of the volunteers have any little
packages or letters they desire to send the
1boys,n Lieut.. Combs requests that they be
left at the, shoe store of Messra. Read &
Lawrence, and he will take pleasure in dis
tributing them as directed.
A considerable number of the members
of the And have come down Green River
under the charge ofSargeon Magenniss, on
the sick LIST, many of whom are now con-
valescent aud ready for duty. He desires
such as are ct for duty to report themselves
at o. Riley'a wharf boat to-day or to-mor-
row. SO that he can make arrangements for
their transportation to join their regiment.
If they do not come in by that time, they
will not only lose their pay, but be in dan-
ger of being considered as deserters, ~

GEN. THos. A. MoRRIs.-This officer, who
did so much In Western Virginia, to secure
that part of the State for the Union, and
whose claims for promotion have been SO
shamelesaly overlooked, is now favorably
spoken Of by .he President for a Major
Generalsaip. The indianapolis Journal
criticises the delay in promoting the most
prominent officer in the State, rather harsh
ly, and intimates that Gen. Mcclellan has
had something to do with it:
We are informed that the President has
recently expressed desire 10 do Gen. Nor
ination to q Major Generalship. Why IL
was not done long ago is probably one OF
MeClellan's mysteries, like the long bait be-
fore the pine guns ct Manassas. If any
State in the Union is entitled TO Major
General it is Indiana, with one man out oil
every twenty Of her inhabitants i'm the
field, and il any man in Indiana Is entitled
to that position it is Gen. Morris. He was
the first general officer who began or con-
Quoted campaign during the war. He
was the hrst General who met q hostile
force. He led the way, and is generally
credited by those who know the secret his
tory OF the Western Virginia campaign with
marking out the way of the frst complete
aud victorious operations of the Union
forces. The successes achieved under his
command secured Western Virginia to the
Union, and threw The 6rst obstacle in the
way of the growth of the rebellion. BE
was the foremost General in the war, ard
he is left to the very last to be remembered
for his services. He has a military educa-
ton, and military experience. He has
proved his capacity to command, to plan,
and to execute, and he standa before the
President the choice and recommendation
OF every leading man in the State. If if
was proper to make Mcclellan Commander-
In-Chlet on account of his services in West
ern Virginia, it caH't be improper to make
a Major General OF the man who began the
fight and showed him how to win It.

Bay Now if this sea monster, the Mer-
rimac, is capable of effecting such terrible
mischief, in the event oil, her escape-and If
the Monitor is able to sink her, as Captain
Ericsson says, and The whole Community
joyfnlly believe-may We be permitted to
ask two very plain and simple questions:
lst Why should the Merrimac be allowed
to repair her damages, and get even a
chance of escaping 2. Why does not the
Monitor Immediately 60 up to her, take adj
santage of her disabled condition, and send
her TO the bottom at once in precisely the
same manner that the Merrimac served the
.Cnmberland 2-N T. Times.

The telegraph announces another brilliant
victory near Winchester, Va, in which the
forces under General Shields, about eight
thousand strong, routed the combined for
ces Of Generals jackson, Smith and Lcng-
street, estimated at fifteen Thousand strong.
There appears to have been a skirmish en-
Saturday, near the town, 10 which one man
was killed on our side, and Gen. Shields
slightly injured. The fight was renewed on
Sunday morning about half-past 10 O'Clock,
and was continued till dark, resulting in the
total route of the rebels, with g loss of 100
killed and 200 wounded. On our side, 100
killed and wounded are reported. % Two
cannon, with eaissons, were captured. The
enemy appear to have been paBie-strieken,
threw away their arms and scattered in all
directions, our cavalry accelerating their
| fight. ssA1a Lllss s8-l1a Iii ID ii aa -
The troops comprising General Shields
Division are mainly from Ohio and Indi-
ana, and the details of this engagement,

1G The Chicago Times says. "the sue
cess OF the Ericsson battery dates new
era in naval warfare. 1t not only casts
aside as worthless wooden, but the IRON
clad ships which have hitherto been con-
structed. England and France, whose ma
Vies by the side of ours have been esteemed
gigantic, are no better off than we--nOt
so well of, indeed, for they have not a ship
which can cope with the Monitor. There
is not a ship in the world which the Aoni-
tor cannot sink. The United States will,
then, have an even start, with all other ma
tons in the acquisition of naval power.

WESTERN BOYS, FoRHVHR.-By some tel
egraph items which we clip from yesterday "a
Cincinnati papers, il will be seen that vic
tory has been gained over the rebel army
near Winchester, Va. 1t was won by Gen.
Shields brigade, which is composed almost
entirely Of Indiana and Ohio troops Tue
loss is not very heavy on either side, owing
we suppose, to the fact that when the. rebels
found out they had to contend with the he
roes of Western Virginia, they a skedsd
died before our boys had time to give then
taste of their quality.
