A detachment Of soldiers and citizens
was Immediately sent in pursuit of the
fugitives. On Thursday morning, they
came up with them at Mr. Hudgins house,
beyond Piedmont Springs, and quite Skin

fired, seven of them by Hunt; no one dam
aged, however. Bingham ard Hunt made
good their escape, leaving part Of their
arms hats and horses in the possession of
our posse.
On Thursday evening another detdch-

the vicinity, Hunt went TO the house of Mr.
Mabry and compelled him to give him his
saddle horse, at the same time telling Mr..
Mabry that he had killed the negro in
question, and that he had met the squad on
the road in search of him, stepping aside
as they filed by. Still another detachment
will be sent out to-day. We are glad 10

bring to justice the perpetrators of this
horrible deed. Capt. N. ii. Randlett, Blu

civil authorities in the discharge of their

Bey" The Houston Journal gives q list of
the Texas Press, in its issue of the 18th
ult., which will be very good reference
for strangers and others. 1t strikes us,
however, that the editor was rather hasty
in making up what he calls "a full list."-
For his benefit we will add to the list as
follows:
Advocate, Victoria, Texas.
Vindicator, Paris, Lamar County.
Texas Press, Mount Pleasant, Titus coun-
ty.
Star, Kaufman, Kaufman county.
Brazos Signal, Richmond, Fort Bend
county.
Beacon, Meridian, Bosquc county.
Spectator, Waco, McLenan county.
Register, Sull hur Springs, Hopkins coun.
ty.
Which, together with our own little sheet
the Herald makes respectable little list of
nine, which the editor did not happen to
remember.

BS" District Court at Fort Worth, Tar

after laborious session. The Court met
on Monday of the previous week, but ow-
ing to the inability of the regularly empan-
neled juries to take the oath prescribed by
Circular Order No. 13, from the headquar-
ters of the District of Texas, new juries
had to be summoned, which was not com
pleted until Wednesday. On that evening
the Grand Jury was organized, and on
Thursday evening Petty Jury was OBJ
tanned. On Friday morning, Judge Good
commenced work, with but one Petty Jury.
During the continuance of Court there
were SO Final judgements rendered. The

tiary-Wm, Cortney, on plea of guilty, for
six years, and Peter Crimson for two years.
We learn that Court passed off very
quietly and TO the satisfaction Of all.
