! A CORRESPONDENT, writing from
Fort Davis, Texas, under date of Au-
gust 9th, says that Capt. Scott and
party, from Fort Mason, Texas, en-
route for California with n large drove
of cattle, were attacked between Fort
Davis and the Rio Grande by a large
body of Indians, who succeeded in
capturing a large part of the drove,
mostly beeves. The gallant Capt.
Scott could not brook this defeat, so
collecting his best men, and leaving
the balance of the herd with the
weaker portion to guard them, they
started in pursuit and after pursuing
them five miles, overlook the painted
red-skinned scoundrels and opened
upon them, when the row com.
menced. After desperate struggle
the Texas band with their Winches.
ter rifles prevailed, and the red-skin
cut-throats broke for their holes in
: the deep canons of the Lympia
mountains-and the Texas boys re-
turned without the loss of man OF
beast. Several Indians were killed
and wounded.
