From Over the Border.

If we could listen to the tales brought from Yankee
doodledom by Blockade runners, We might expect
general smash-up down East At early day. One gen.
teman of this class lately arrived, predicts peace in
sixty days and thereafter and very speedily an ndiscrm
nate throacutting throughout Yanheedom. He reports
their finances as rretrievsbly ruined-their army as
boDelessly demoralzed, and only kept together until
they eau get their back pay and dscord and confusion
rampant through the land The tale is cheering; but IT
must be received cum grd,O sails; and, at any rate
we must not permit it confluence action in the least
We may make it true by wise and vigorous measured
But if we relax cur eIertOns in the expectA ton OF re-
mssness on the part of the enemy, We may inspire him
with renewed energy, and leopard all the advantages
We have gained.

A YANKEE NAVAL OFFICERS OPINION OF IRON
CLADs-A naval officer, whose letter is published
in the Albany IN. W Argus furnishes an interest
ing account of the Confederate raid at Charleston
and of the operations of the Montauk in the Ogee-
chez river. The iron. clads notwithstanding they
possess many defects that are difficult to remedy,
are regarded by him as quite successful, so tar as
their fighting qualities are concerned. As sea-gong
vessels they regarded to be very unsafe that
the writer declares that he "would rather 60 into
ten actions than to make passage at sea in one of
them" On the question of their effectiveness in
the reduction of Notifications he says: II would
guarantee to hold sand battery like that at Genesis
Point-Fort McAllister-against . dozen of them.
Two Of them would demolish Fort Sumter, or any
square casemated stone brick fort in two hours %
But sand forts are different things, particularly
where the guns isolated and far apart and pro-
tectea by high, thick, earthen traverses. The she'll
bury in the sand and throw it about promiscuously
but unless you hit the gun itself no great damage
is done beyond occasionally killing q guns crew,
whose place can be supplied if its defenders are in
earnest" He does not consider the condition of
affairs at Port Royal as very promising. The po-
tical strife in the North is said to be producing
dire effect upon the esprit of our army and navy"
About one half Of the men described as "sck of
the war on any basis of cause whatever" One
fourth are bitter antiproclamation men, One-eighth
are straggers and skulks and the remaining eighth
of the officers and men are Abolitionists, "and, per-
haps says this bold and sarcastic critic the poor.

Desperate Combat with Indians In Texas
A BRAVE MAs.-George W. Kendall, formerly
Of the New Orleans Picaysns, who now resides on
his estate in Texas writes to the Houston Almanac
of the murders being perpetrated in Gillespie and
neighboring counties in that State. Among those
murdered was H. Anhelger; who, while out hunt
ing cattle with companion, was surprised by the
savages. The letter says:
Anhelger being on . mule, was compelled to dis
mount and take to a tree; his companion, on fast
horse, made his escape into town. We shall never
learn the particulars Of the brave Anhelgers fight,
but We have the results and they tell the story of
fearful conflict The next morning party of rang.
ers were conducted to the spot and on searching
the tree they found it stuck full of arrows, while
pool of blood at the foot showed tina. the unfortun
ate man had been desperately wounded. Following
the bloody track the distance of some three hundred
yards, they found the body of poor Anhelger stiff
and cold lying with his face downward, his right
hand shattered and crippled by arrows and his left
clutchihg with an iron grip the six shooter with
which he had kept his foes at bay.
On searching around, the body of one Indian,
stone dead, was found, while two blood trails in
the track on which they had retreated showed that
o number of his enemies had been wounded
Searching still further the party discovered no less
than eightythree arrows in the tree, on the ground
and in the person of Anhelger, who had been hit
over forty times in the hand arm, right shoulder,
leg and body. Few have ever heard or read Of
such conflict, and it would seem that the lone
man was in the end victorious. The trail OF the
Savaees was followed until dark, but shower in
the night unfortunately obliterated all traces Of it
Get locking for it in the morning, they Tell upon
the trail Of ten Indians, three on horseback and
seven on foot This was followed until the savages
were caught, charged upon, three of their number
killed, and two or three others wounded, but who
escaped. Whether it was the party beaten off b.
Anhelger can never be known.
