A serious casualty occurred at a
crossing OF the South Bosque, near
Waco, on Sunday Of last week. Three
WAGONS loaded with lumber were de-
scending the long slope this side Of the
stream, when the hindmost pair of hor-
SEES took fright and ran of down the hill,
colliding the wagon to which they were
attached with the others, and frighten-
ing the other two teams into running
away. The wagons, all badly broken,
were thrown all in heap at the foot
of the hill; two of the drivers, whose
names We have been unable to learn,
were severely injured, rs also were sew
eral of the horses. A gentleman who
was present says it was altogether the
most exciting runaway ever Witnessed

The remnant Of Tonkawa Indians
now lives below Fort Griffin. They are
under the immediate protection of the
United States government. These In
dams follow hunting and fishing on the
clear fork Of Brazos. Some of them
herd stock, while few of the women
and children hire out to the farmers be-
low their village, usually taking pay for
their services in beef, corn, or -four.
The women often dress and paint buffalo
robes; the robes are sold at prices rang
ing from five to ten dollars, extra fine
and large robes being sold sometimes
for twenty dollars. On some occasions
the men are carried out with the troops
on scouting expeditions. They are very
poor. possessing no household goods,
and but few cattle or horses.

Is the South Poor!

Owing to the suspension of many OF
the lines of transportation in the Missis-
sippi Valley, due to the prevalence of
yellow fever, the cotton year has opened
languidly at New Orleans and Mobile
and cannot be called active in the At
lantic ports, although the season is about
week earlier than usual. But the re
ports of the cotton year just completed,
running from September /, 1877, to
September /, 1873, are now fully made
up and are very instructive. They show
that the crop of cotton for the year just
ended is the largest that has been gath
cred since the war and with one eXcep-
ton the largest ever harvested in the
south. 1t reached the enormous total
of 4S11,265 bales, worth in money in
round numbers, about two hundred mil
lions OF dollars. This largely exceeds
the value of the great staple in the
palmiest days of slave labor; for not
only is the number of bales far beyond
the average crop of ante-bellum days,
but the price per pound is considerably
higher. This crop, though the largest
picked since the war, is by no means
beyond what may fairly be expected
from the coming crop, nor does it very
greatly exceed that of the preceding
year. The yield of 1851 was 1888,
423 bales, against 4,S11 ,265 bales OF the
year 1S77-7S. The crop of 1876 was
also a very large one. These facts show
that the average yield of cotton is higher
than ever in our history, and that more
is produced under free than under slave
labor. 1t is also seen that for the past
five on six years the south has exported
each year FROM one hundred millions to
two hundred millions of dollars worth
of cotton alone. and ought to have re-
ceived somewhere near that sum III
money or some other form of wealth.
In addition to this the southern grain
crops and meat crops are large and in
creasing, and will soon become articles
of export beyond the needs of home
consumption. At several points Ill the
southern states cotton factories are
| springing into prosperous existence
supplied with the most improved ma,
chinery. and the manufacturing inter.
ests are developing. In the face OF
, these facts it is idle TO speak of the
poverty" of the south. Such com.
plants emanate chiefly from those who
p were rich before the war and are poor
; now. the descendants of the wealthy
planters. But though these do not Owl
the property. it is none the less there
in other hands. Men who were the
oyerseers before the war. are in many
instances the proprietors now. and thesC
b do not complain. Property has chang
: ell hands to a great extent, and very
b much of it Was destroyed during III,
war or swept ont cf existence aftcrward
I but there j more true wealth in the
: south to-day than At any other period
p Of its history. and Il gIows with great
I ralidity.

In giving the above report, the committee

tbisyiuc course have already depopuiA'ed some
no,t,ons of that country. The explorations
by scou,ing parties Of the mountainous ooun-
trv west of the Peoos river, have developed un-
s,ncetedly well watered and quite extensive
Grazing lands, on both plain and valley. Sill
YER lead. iron and copper districts have been
discovered, and specimens OF both gold anu
silver have been brought A map OF the oouh-
try, which will give most valuable informatoh'
is now in preparation. Gen. Ord asks that the
troops who have been serving so long IN the
desert district, particularly the 10th Infantry
and the colored troops, may be transferred TO
d,tv in the vicinity Of civilization. Gen Ord
sends with his report a letter from Judge fas-
chall, relating to alleged attack upon certain
Lipon camp which had remained Tor over
wear in vicinity of Santa Rosa Mexican town
under protection of town people who are PROF
fitiny by the traffic of plumber brought by In
dams from Texas. Attention is called to the
relations between Indians in this section and
several of the Mexican towns, particularly San
Carlos these relations are peculiar. The
Apsches are usually at war with people in both
countries, they have however friendly leagues
with certain towns where they trade and re-
ceiye supplies, arms, ammunition ETC., for stol-
en- mules which is undoubtedly the case with
the San Carlos people, who have amicable re-
lations with he Comanches, who make San
Carlos their depot for arms in their annual in
cursions into Mexico. 1t seems also that Chi
huahua, not receiving the protection it was en-
titled to from the central government OF Next
co, made an Independent treaty with the Co.
manches, the practical result of which was to
aid and abet the Indians. Such condition OF
affairs was thought by General Ord to be
worthy of consideration both by the Mexican
and United States governments. An extract
is enclosed from Perodico, official Of Monterey,
capital of New Leon, and the headquarters OF
the military commander of the army of north
ern Mexico; this article which is regarded as
ex- cathedra show, says Gen. Ord, that the In
dams VT have so continually complained Of are
terror to the country; they have always lived
in an immense unexplored and rugged region
contiguous to the United States; they are nat
ural robbers and murderers and the Mexican
government, notwithstanding that three or
four of its northern States were solong expos
ed to and raided upon by them that they did
not or could not send any relief until now.
The article also shows these Indians have muir
dered unfortunately in Texas and Mexico,
as reported by me before.
