Col. Ford made a remarkable speech
in the Texas Legislature the other day
against the Indians. 1t consisted of Il
vivid narrative, in dime novel language,
of his adventures on an exploring expedi-
ton thirty years ago. He told of seeing
a white woman, of course beautiful, in a
Comanehe camp. "Her whole figure" +"
the Colonel went on, twas personifica-
ton of despair. Anguish was depicted
in every lineament of her face-the eye
seemed an idex of u heart bereft of hope
and abandoned to sorrow and a sense of
utter de8olation. To her the past was
lost, the present an abject misery, the fu-
ture dark page to be filled with letters
of grief and incidents of pain, privation,
and torturing pangs of recollection.
Those eyes had looked upon home rich
in endcarments, that heart had throbbed
with love, and those lips had expressed
the joyous feeling, but alasl alas!" &c.
The following was the Colonels climax:
81 have done some tolerable rough In
dian fighting, but / never lead head
long charge without having the figure of
that woman before my minds eye just as
she appeared Oh Brady's Creek, and my
conscience does not accuse me of a fail
.ure to ayenge her sad fate"
