From letter by Mr.. II. L. Ray, of Era tn
county, published in the Waco Register Of
the 18th July:
EDS. REGIsTER:-We had hoped the In.
dams we're about to leave us to live in
peace on the frontier, but they still continue
their depredations, which become more and
more alarming every month. Within the
last week, they have stolen large numbers
Of horses in this and the surrounding coun-
ties. They were in and around this town,
and killed horse within three hundred
yards of tine public square. They drove
ont large numbers Of horses; our citizens
followed them till their horses gave out
but failed to come up with them. A few
mornings ago, Sam Mathews, while at
tempting to save his horses, was fred on
by them, and norrowly escaped, but lost
his horses. P. II. Boyd was killed by them
last Monday while going to a neighbours
hotse. lie was shot in the face with sp-
parently larged sized ball.
Il Is reported here that tho citizens of
Parker county have lately had three seri
Gus fights with,the Indians; two white men
killed and three Indians. The citizens
were worsted IN the first two fights, but in
the thied whipped the Indians and drove
them off. A few days ago, VIM. Kelly,
formerly Of this town, and a Mr.. Peters,
and q negro man, while preparing to leave
their camp in the morning, near the twon
Of Comanche, were suddenly attacked by
seven or eight Indians. The negro being
in advance, got into bis wagon, and Was
shot aud killed. Kelley and Peters retreat
ed to the brush followed by the savages,
but they fred upon them from their shelter
and drove them off and saved themselves.
Mr.. Kelley is now here and says oil the
Indians had six-shootcrs, only one bow,
and some Of them had guns. The Indians
cut two mules and two horses from the
wagon, took possession of MIR. Kelly's sad.
die horse and drove them off, having shot
Mr. Peters saddle horse. The wagon in
which the negro was killed, is now in town,
showing the marks Of the bullets, and
stained with blood.

s&rJoI Walker, Esq, Of the Austin
Gazette, has sold half interest in his pa.
per to VIM Cain, Esq, Of the Bsstrop
Advertiser, and in future the Gazette will
be conducted by Msssrs. Walker and Cain
n proprietors. Considerable improvement
has boon made in the Gazette since il ha,
been in the hands Of Mr.. Walker, and the
new firm contemplate further and impor.
tant improvements. which will make it q
most desirable il not necessary journal to
the people Of Texas. We append below
what they say Of the future:
The Publishers have ordered paper Of A
size sufficient to enable them to print one
Of the largest newspapers in the State
When this 10 received, the Gazette will con
tain thirty.two columns Of wider measure
than at present.
Arrangements will be made with GORE.
spondents at such points as will enable
them TO obtain the earliest and most i'm
portant news. They expect TO secure u
gentleman of ability to furnish q weekly
letter from the City of Washington. Cor
respondents, also, from New Orleans, Gal
weston and other points of the State will be
provided. The Gazette has been purcha sed
at large price, and the Publishers are full
ly aware Of the fact. that, il they wish to
succeed in their undertaking, they mus,
furnish the public with an ably conducted
paper, worthy of tho people of Texas and
its Capital. Editorial assistance has been
secured already in the person of Capt. Rob-
ert Josselyn, formerly Of Mississippi, who
has been the principal editor since the office
was purchased from Mr.. Richardson. 1t is
hardly necessary to add thnt the Gazette
will continue to be Conservative in its mat
ter and tone, earnestly advocating speedy
restoration Of the Union, and nph gliding
firmly, but respectfully, the reserved rights
Of the States composing it. What the pub
lishers have promised, they intend, in good
faith, to perform, and, having said this
much, they leave the public to judge them
by their course hereafter.

YELLOW FEVER AND CHoLERA.-It is re-
ported up the country that the yellow fever
and cholera are both raging violently in
Galveston.
There is no yellow fever here, and has
not been any this season.
Some troops from New York came here,
q short time since, with the cholera among
them. Thare have been FIVE cases of it
among those troops, four of which tcrmin-
nted fatally. There have been no new
cases within the last four days. The troops
are carefully quartered; the disease has
not reached any Of our citizens; and it is
believed the precautions taken will prevent
its spread. In our opinion-and We give
it for what it may be worth--persons from
much safety ss though the infec,ed troops
had never landed here. The city is re-
markably heal,hy.-Mvs. ia ! g
On Sunday morning gentleman by the
name of Dale, Of Brenham who was return
ing from trip to Kentucky, stopped at
the Fannin House in this city. On Monday
he Was taken seriously i'll, with o disease
which soon developed all the symptoms Of
fan attack Of Asistic cholera, and termi-
mated before noon Of the same day in death
lie was visited by several physicians be-
fore and after death, all Of whom agreed
unhesitatingly in pronouncing 1t an un-
nlistakable case Of Asiatic cholera.
The deceased had travled down the Mis-
sissippi River from Cairo, and had stopped
some days in New Orleans and Galveston.
II is difficult to tell therefore where he be-
came infected with the disease, but the
physicians state that 1t had evidently been
lurking in his system some days before 1t
broke out in the fatal attack.
The physicians do not seem to apprchend
. spread Of the disease. We understand
that every precaution has been used to dis
infect the premises, such as the destruction
of the bed clothes, &C., used by the deceased.
We notice that it has died out completely
in Galveston, and let US hope that il will
prove equally as lenisnt aud merciful to-
wards US.
Our citizens appear quite easy about the
matter, and We have seen but few who APP
pearsd nervous, or manifested much "palc-
ness behind the gills." We do not think,
even ir il should become epidemic, that
there will be much scattering TO the coun-
try That's the way to meet IL IL il should
come-with bold front and stout heart.

death."-Houton Telegraph Aug. lat.

A letter to the editor, dated Austin July
3lst, says "a telegram from Hon. VIM. II

was received yesterday, directing that the
Legislature proceed to organize on the 9th
of August and that the Governor be inaug.
uratcd on the 9th of August without hin

the organization and Inauguration are re-

will be seen that the Legislature will be

We are glad TO learn, by private letter
from Washington, that Judge l.. d. Rvsns
and Hon. D. II. Epperson were In Philsdei.
phia, and would remain until the close OF
the Convention. Although all the dele
gales TO that assemblage are good men, We
regret that Mr. Epperson is not among
them. Under the circumstances we feel
that he had almost right TO expect that
positions aud We confess that the course
he pursued, in refusing to run on the lato
Radical ticket in this State, and tho able
letter which he wrote, acknowledging that
the people Of Texas had fully and honestly
accepted the situation, places him very
high In our regard. Like others he was
tempted TO make use OF tho fact that he had
always been Unionist, for personal and
partizan ends, at the expense OF the honor
and welfare Of those who had differed with
him on the subject Of secession, but unlike
some Of them he spurned the temptation.
But II is not for own snke alone or chiefly
that We regret the mona ppointment Of Mr..
Eppcrson ns delegate, but because We be
leive his talents and character, and his
past position when taken in connection
with his present belief that the South he
conformed to all proper tests OF reconstruc.
ton, would have enabled him to exercise
