AFFAIRS IN TEXAS.


From the San Antonio Ledger, July 2s.
We have Just been informed by General
Heintzelman that our people may reasonably
expect very soon to have the route from San
Antonio to FL Paso well protected against the
Indians, bY both cavalry and infautry troops,
which are now on their way to this point. Forts
DAVIS and Clark will each have large garTlsons
OF troops, capable OF pursuing the redskins to
thelr places OF retreat, and hereafter protecting
the transportation and trade from this place to
El Paso.
Speaking of his order to our Chief Justice, TO
vacate his office and turn 1t over to the ap-
pointees of the colossal Jack, General Hentzle-
man informed us that an order came to him
from his superior officer. General Wright, to
that effect; whereupon, we hope, our brother
OF the Western Ieri0n will make the apDropr;.
ate correction, and take our praiseWorthy COM
mander again into his confidence and esteem.
Speaking of the late bad conduct OF the
colored troops at Victoria and Goliad, the Gene
raj said he would cheertully correct any abuses
OF power or outrages OF the troops under mis-
command, and that under the proper represen-
tatons OF the citizens of Goliad, ne would i'm
mediatelv remove the colored company from
that place; tnat the policy of the Government
was cOnciatory and not 10 create strife. Gene
raj Heintzleman, as we said some time ago, is
the right man In the right place.
