aai renegades may be more

iShed. Many of them have
LIT their wives and children

t.eted by our laws, while
these skulkers are either in

t.rmining, so soon as peace Is
declared, to return and enjoy
Il Liberty aud security won by
sacrifices in which they had
IL hand. With that writer
we Say let it be made a Peni-
tertiary offence for any deser-
ter from military duty, or any
who have hci from our coun-
Try 10 prevent participating
in it's defence to return to the
State of Texas. An official
acquaintance with the Confed-
crate tax rolls of,his city and
county brings this subject Pc
culiarly within our know
ledge; and the number of per-
Sous in the category referred
to issurprisingly large. Hav-
ing quit our country and de-
serted our banner in the hour
Of darkness, it is but just that
we should so far retaliate as
to Ierpetuate their absence
We hope the Legislature will
take efficient measures to car
ry out the end desired.-Saa
Antonio Herald.
The Head Quarters of this
Sub. Military District are re-
moved to Brownsville, which
we think is Il very good move.
1t will place the commanding
General in a position to watch
the movements of the enemy;
and should there be another
attempt at invasion, it will
transfer the war from San An
tonic to the Rio Grande. 1t
will be also a move in accord
ance with a seeming design
ON the part of high military
authority to remove every
thing from San Antonio. But
San Antonio is r very singu-
lar city, imbued with a vast
bump of vitality, and tlouish-
es best when lrampled upon.
She needs no patronage from
the powers that be, but in spite
OF every obstacle she c9ptin-
ues, in population and III COM
mercial Importance, in ad-
vance of every city in the
State.-Ibid.
INDIANS IN KENDALL CoUN-
rY.-By a note from our old
friend, Geo. wilkins Kendall,
dated at Boerne, Oct. 2Sth, we
learn tina. the Indians have
paid his vicinity another WIS.,
it. On the afternoon Of the
18th, they killed one horse and
wounded two others, with ar
rows, on Wasp Greek, near the
place Of Mrs. Donop, whose
husband was killed on the
same day Mr.. Kendalls shep-
lerds were butchered, three
} ears since. On the following
morning Mr.. Heiligman, who
lives on the Guadalupe, some
two miles below the mouth Of
Wasp Creek, saw five Indians
driving his horses, four in
number, from his pasture, and
making of with them, in COM
pany with other animals they
had doubtless stolen. On the
afternoon of the same day,
Lieut.. O'Grady, with a small
party, left Boerne in pursuit
of the savages, and although
they had a days start of him
before he could reach the
ecene oftheir depredations, it
is hoped he caught up with
,hem.-hastin Gazette.
We have been shown a spe-
cimen of iron recently manu-
featured in Anderson county.
1t appears to be of a superior
qualify, hammers smoothly,
and judging from observation
it is all that can be desired.

turned from a trip in eastern
Texas, and who had in his
possession some samples, Wis.,
