Band of Indians Dispersed.

Adiutant General Davidson, of Texas, is
sues the following cOngratulatory order
from the headquarters of the State, at Aus
tin, May IL:
On the fourth day of May. 1871, Sergeant
X. n Parker and eleven men of Company
b. Captain Cox Frontier Forces, engaged
and completely defeated and dispersed
band of Indians, estimated at from thirty
five to forty warriors, and recapturing forty
horses which had been stolen by the Indians
in the town of Palo Pinto. Sergeant Parker
and four of his men, viz: Privates William
Watson, Gallon Bottenhouse, +. NJ. Clark
and John Haywood were wounded.
Comment upon the action of this little
band is unnecessary. The Governor, how
ever, desires to express III General Orders
his high appreciation of the indomitable
bravery displayed by them in this engage
ment; against overwhelming odds IN the
face of every disadvantage, handful of the
frontier troops have taught these savages a
lesson which they will not soon forget, and
such action is deserving of emulation on the
part of the other companies of the frontier
forces, whose duty it is to free the frontier
from the ravages of these savages and estab-
lish peace and safety in that locality.
This order will be published at the first
parade of each company of the frontier
forces after its receipt

Death of Judge Lewis.

The Minden Democrat brings us the fol-
lowing particulars of the death Of Judge
Lewis:
We are called upon to chronicle the pain
full intelligence of the death of Hon. John
L. Lewis, Judge of the Eighteenth Judicial
District He was enjoying his usual good
health up to Friday, the fifth instant, and
on the morning of that day was out in
town attending to his business, but about
noon went to his bed with a chill. His
attack was violent and alarming from the
trst-great congestion of the brain with
heart trouble. He was attended by Drs.
Harper. Hamilton and Hunter. He lived
until Monday night at nine o'clock, and
was confined to his bed but little over three
DAYS. This sudden death in the midst of
life of an estimable gentleman and an old
and prominent citizen casts deep gloom
over our town. His funeral the following
day was the largest ever known in the
place All places of business were closed,
and the church bells of the different de-
nominations were tolled.

The NScksburg Times saws:

The silver spike concentrating the com
pletion of the Chattanooga and Mobile rail
road was driven on Monday last at II NJ.
The lines running north from Meridian and
south from Chattanooga, met at Walnut
Springs, where the ceremony was performed
in the presence of large concOurse OF in
terested spectators. Large trains went out
from the two termini accompanied by bands
of music, appropriate speeches were made,
and in the midst of general rejoicing the
great work was pronounced finished. Thus
another link in the chain that binds the
North to the South in the friendship of
commercial unity has been forged, and
another artery from the great heart of the
nation opened out to revivify and energise
its extremities. Hereafter one of the great
northern highways from the whole south
west will lie through Vicksburg, Meridian,
and Chattanooga. With the Texas Pacific
now insured, and the North Louisiana com
pleted and virtually Incorporated with it, as
the sale noticed yesterday makes it certain
that it will be, Vicksburg has assuredly a
proud future before her.

The New Orleans correspondent OF the
Monroe MtelHgencer writes:
Governor Dunn, who is for the time
being assuming the gubernatorlal mantle,
has refused to reprieve or commute the
sentence of the two men awaiting execution,
and we suppose they will be hung to-day
We think Governor Dunn has acted wisely
in this instance in refusing to reprleve, pc
cause, in the first place. if death was ever
merted or capital punishment justifiable, 1t
certainly is i'll this instance, for the two
men were convicted of a horrible and tlend-
ish murder.
We think our citizens owe Governor Dunn
a debt of gratitude on account OF the c0ur-
are and fortitude he has displayed i'll re-
fusing to intercept or delay the course OF
iustice. Knowing the kind and tender
heart OF Governor Dunn, we can realize
how very painful a trial the refusal to stay
the hand of justice must nave oeeh 10 MIN
in this instance.
Governor Dunn's kindness of heart is
nroverbial. and if a policeman Is to be put
