BY continuous rain throughout two days. The water
came down gently, soaking the dry earth to great
depth, and has paved tue way to a fine season for
seeding in small winter grain, such as wheat rye oats

INDIAN DEpREDAr1oss- had a conversation
last evening with old citizen of Denton county,
named Calvin who informed that the Indians were
openly committing their depredatons in the western
part of that county, The very frequent thetts OF late
induce the belief that the INDIANS nave
camps upon the frontier, where they collect horses
preparatory to running them to the Elm Springs, a
few miles from Fort Cobb. Here they meet traders
from Kansas who buy them at prices much less than
the real value of yearling calf. Our informant
states that this traffic is carried under the very
eyes Of the United States troops at that post and
that no one is permitted, under any circumstances to
interfere with them-men from frontier have stood
by and seen their horses Sold and dare not make
an effort to recover their property

We are pleased to see our fellow citizen James Tur-
ner Esq, so far recovered to make his appearance
on The streets again.
We clip as follows from the Marshall Republican of
the 9Th:
Eight cars leave Marshall every morning one pas
scnger and freight cars which return in the
ming. There is also night train. Over six hundred
bales if necessary, be carried off every day, and
back freights brought in.
For weeks large droves of cattle from the prares

JEFFERSON, TEXAS, TO De HEAVILY GUARDED.-We
copy follows from the Huntsville Times: ."-.
Gen. Reynolds, in consequence of the recent dstur-
bance at Jefferson, in which G. w. Smith and two ne
groes killed. has sent the following troops to re-
inforce the force already at that post: One company

We clip the following from the Tyler Reporter Of
the 4th instant: e=-- ->
From every quarter we hear that the roads are
crowded with wagons, taking cotton to market. The
fact begging to demonstrate itself that the crop Of East
Texas, and especially of Smith county, is much larger
than was supposed a few weeks ago. The rivalry be-
tween Marshall, Jefferson and Shreveport as cotton
markets, will become quite interesting in a week or
two more. kingdom for railroad to some point!
