SUCCESSFUL RAID AFTER IN.
DIANS.
Camp Captured, Indians Routed
and stock aud Equipage
Captured.

Special Corr. San Antonio Express.
SAN FELIPE, TEX, November II.
1t will be remembered that on or
about the 10th OF October, the In
dams made a raid on the village OF
Los Vscas, Mexico, situated directly
opposite the town of San Felipe, with
the Rio Grande river between. At
the time of the above mentioned raid
the Indians captured fully one hall
the horses belonging to the citizens
and the company of soldiers at Los
Vacas. They at once organized a
campaign against the Indians under
the command Of Colonel Garcia, about
eighty strong. This expedition started
from Los Vacas about the 10Th Of DC
tober, and on the 3lst struck the
home of the Indians at a distance Of
l80 miles from Los Vaoas. The camp
was well arranged, both for comfort
and defense, and was provided with an
abundance Of provisions, including
dried meats, dried aud preserved
fruits, etc. Upon the approach of the
Mexican soldiers, the Indians aban-
doned their town, leaving their horses
and saddles, together with all thoir
provisions and considerable part of
their clothing and arms. Two Indian
males and one female were killed at
the camp.
Fifty-six horses, about fifty saddles
and as much of the Indian wealth as
could be brought on the horses was
brought back to Los Vacas, arriving
November 9th.
There are very many interesting
articles, among which | noted the
skins Of cattle 80 tanned as to be as
thin and pliable as buckskin. These
skins were used to pack dried meats,
tsllOw and preserved fruits in, aud
were 80 laced with leather strings as
to make them air aud water tight.
There were water jugs large enough
to hold three gallons of water, made
by covering plated willow with some
substance resembling tar. Many
other things would be interesting IA
look at, but too tedious 10 describe
The whole tribe is left entirely des'

They will, in all probability, break
up into small bodies and scatter ogel

JUDGE George, Of the supreme court
of Mississippi, delivered an elegant
and able address in memory of the
late Ex-Governor A. G.. Brown at
Jackson last Wednesday night. The
Vicksburg Commercial, of Thursday,
says, in reference to the occasion:
In spite of the most inclement
weather the meeting at Jackson last
evening, in honor OF the late Albert
G.. Brown, was one worthy of the capi.
tai, VIII re, for four years, he resided
as chief magistrate Of Mississippi. The
address Of Chief Justice j u. George
was faithful rehearsal of the life aud
services Of the dead statesman, and
was worthy tribute to the memory
of a man who was at once able, sin
oere, faithful and true to every trust.
The mauliness of his character,
the fidelity OF his nature, the purity Of
bis heart, aud the official integrity Of
his long public career, will make the
name aud fame of Albert G.. Brown
lasting as the hills of the state he
loved 50 well and served with such
constant fidelity; and the rising gen
Grafton of Mississippians may look
long and far ere they find model
more worthy of their emulation. The
address of General George, for an ad-
vance copy of which we are indebted

while eminently worthy is too long for

A TIRApE ON BOLTERs.

The Knoxville Dispatch, a leading
state credit organ, goes for the
supporters Of Mr.. Wilson in the fol-
lowing spirited remarks.
One thing wo rejoice oyer-that
these boilers have been taught most
salutary lesson, one they will never
forget as long as their heads are hot,
and that is, the way Of boilers is hard
If this lesson has not yet made an i'm
preston upon them, it is because
sufficient time has not elapsed to eff
feet it. They will feel it in due time,
and feel il in their inmost souls.
Retributive justice will surely over
take them. What now will become
Of thsm2 Whittier will they go? The
republican party has no respect for
them, ana the democratic party loathes
them. They are political outcasts,
wandering hither aud thither, objects
of ridicule aud contempt, and a by
word and hiss among decent, high
toned men of both political parties,
Let them go. They can 90.
The party can get along without them.
: The important result has been
attained. that of getting rid of hate
ful incubus upon the party. For some
time past these bolters-repudiators
is better term-have given US much
trouble. Now that the party
is purged Of a most lea;hsone aud de-
structiye element, IL becomes the part
Of wisdom to proceed to the work Of
thorough organization.
We give the above the benefit of a

low-tax members Of the legislature

paid was 596c on cotton aud 10 per

per hour was paid within the past few
days for lsborers, and even then boats

twelve hours to several days. The
usual rate paid in ordinary seasons FOR
laborers ia 20 10 25c per hour And
this is not all. The steamers plying
from here to the Arkansas and White
rivers have had extreme low water to
contend with during the past twelve
months. UEdor the circum-
stances but little freight can be taken,
and the business Of carrying cotton is
rather up hill work. The boats drag
over sand bars and lose time, making
long and expensive trips. The won
der is, therefore, that the boats have
not been forced through self defense
to advance freights ere this, IL is
understood that feeling prevails
among boat owners that it will be nec-
essary to make a higher tariff for
freights, ere long, in other tr des be.
sides that from here to New Orleans.
If we could import a few thousand
mariners from the northern lakes and
utilize them during our busy winter
season it might be decidedly advan-
tageOus, both to boat owners aud
sailors, as the latter during the winter
season must either lie idle or encounter
great danger in plying their vocation
among the icy waters of their field Of
duty.

ArtiflclaI Ice for IncI,eon.

We learn that some of our enter,
prising citizens have in contemplation
the erection of an ice factory in j ack
son. This will prove an immense
saving to cur citizens who indulge in
this summer luxury, as well as a
source of profit to those who engage
in its manufacture. A few years ago
a company put up an ice factory in
MONTGOMERY, Ala, aud put their ice
on the market at one cent less than
lakeice. Very soon theioe dealers were
driven from the market, because
as the citizens say, the artificial ice
is preferable, because it being fresh
will last LONGER. That factory now
furnishes EuIaula and all the towns
in southeast Alabama with ice, and
il is one Of the most profitable in
dustries in the country. With Jack.
sons shipping facilities-railroads
leading in four directions-there is 10
reason why it should not provo a
profitable business here, and we none
by spring to see the enterprise fully
inaugurated and in successful oper.
