Indian Battle in Texas.
Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial
San Antonio. Texas. Jan IA


San Antonio, Texas, Jan. a.
Dispatches just received here state that
a severe Indian battle was fought at Camp
Lancaster on the 9th of December. Camp
Lancaster is two hundred and forty miles
northwest of this place on the Rio Pecos
and is garrisoned by company of colored
cavalry belonging to the command of Gen.
Hatch.
The Indians, about one thousand strong
attacked the camp at p. M, while the
company were watering their horses. In
the dash tiIreo men we're killed. a number
wounded and thirty horses captured but
the colored soldiers retreated in good order
to the post, where, getting their Spencer
carbines, they furously assaulted the saw
ages, driving them into the old post works
near the camp, where the fire lasted until
late in the night, when the indians gave
way in confusion.
On the night of he 2Sihthe Indians re-
newcd the attack, but were repulsed with
great slaughter, leaving the ground strewn
with bows, arrows, guns, blankets. coats,
pistols and knifes, but carrying off all the
dead and wounded.
During the battle number of white men
were seen among the Indians, wearing
Confederate gray uniforms, and apparently
directing their movements.
This is the first pitched engagement the
colored troops have had with the Indians,
and it is not likely that the savages will
bother them soon again The negroes
fought with savage desperation that as
tonshed the red men, who, do doubt,
thought they could easily capture the post
and its small garrison.
The garrison (Co. B., 9th u. S., cavalry
about seventy men, were enlisted in Ken
tucky by General Brsbin, and nearly all
of them had seen service in the army dur
ing the war.
Another Indian battle with the negroes
is reported to have taken place at Eagle
Springs lasting six hours.

The Election in Connecticut.

The election for governor and members
of tie legislature takes place in Connecticut
on the fist Monday in April. Last year
the Democrats elected their governor, MIR.
ENGLISH, by about 1000 majority. The
Legislature, owing to very unfair appor-
tionment, was republican. This year the
radicals have nominated Marshall JEwETT,
for governor This nomination, together
with others on the ticket, has been unfa-
vorably received tg the party. One of the
delegates to the conyention writes to the
Meridian Recorder, over his own signature,
that, they had been trieked and sold out
The Recorder, which is edited by two con-
gregational clergymeD says:
''The Republican state convention, which
assembled in Hartford last Wednesday.
virtually dccreed that James e. English
should be reelected governor of ConDec-
ticut in April next. The ticket lately put
in nomination was thrust upon the state in
most reprehensible manner, and through
the corruptest motives, by scheming un-
scrupulous and wire pulling delegates and
their co VOL kers, from that stronghold of
copperheadism that modern Sodom, New
Haven, and it will undor btedly defeat the
glorious cause Of liberty and equality in the
approaching state election. 1t is result
that every good and right minded man
must deplore F; but it is, nevertheless, a re-
suit that cannot be prevented. -
The Middleton Constitution, another re-
publican paper, also refuses to support the
ticket. The New York Herald says, from
what it can hear, the radicals never had a
poorer chance in Connecticut than they
have for the coming election.

Terrible Exposure in Utah-A MAN
Buried for Three Days in a>Snow

Terrible Exposure III UtaH-A III an
Buried for Three Days in a. Snow
Drift.
A correspondent of the Deserted Nems,
writing from, Heber City, Wasatch county,
gives the following account of a most ex-
traordiDary case Of exposure:
''On Sunday, the 29th ult., young man
named John Lee, started on foot from this
city TO go to Heller City. On that Tuesday
following he was at William Kimbal's and
started from that place to go over the
mountains. 4 heavy snow storm coming
on, he lost his way in the binding drift,
and travelled in the snow from Tuesday till
Saturday, when exhausted nature could
endure no more, and he sank down. Think.
ing that he was going TO die, be sought a
hole where he might lie and not be so ex-
posed in his last moments as he would be
On the level snow. Here he was covered
by the snow drift, the storm continuing,
until he was completely buried in, how
deep he did not know, but believed there
was about five feet of snow over him. In
state of partial unconscl0usness he lay
until Tuesday morning, as he afterwards
learned, when he thought he saw the sun
rising, and with the thought came hope and
desire to dig his way out. He had on
two hickory shirts and two heavy coats, but
in his efforts to free himself.from the snowy
tomb In which be was buried, his clothes
were worn through, and tue skin and part
of the flesh were worn off his elbows. As
he got his head over the snow, he saw a
man coming down from the mountains, to
whom he made signals and this person, a
young man named Galloway, faom Rhoads'
Valley, came to him and helped him out
Galloway then started for the nearest
house, at Hallstone' ranch, some three
miles off, for assistance. He found some
teams from Heber City, and Lee having
been brought down to the road where a
sleigh could get to him, one of them took
him on; but horse team soon after passing
he was taken by it to the fort at Heber
City During all the time of his exposure
from leaving Kimbali' 5 he had been with
out food. 1t was nearly sun down when he
was got down to the road, and the air was
very cold. When he reached iIeber City
it was found that his arms and legs were
frozen ; and though living when Murdoch
left, his recovery was considered almost
hopeless,

the daughter OF an Irishman in Layfaette,

at this By placing fire in bed, throwing
articles on fire into the chamber, etc, and
