TEXAS.
We are very much pleased to learn from a high
ly respectable citizen of Texas, who arrived last
evening by way of Red River, aud who brings in
telligence 8 days later than that already received,
that on the 16th inst. the Alexican army was re
treating with the greatest precipitation and disor
der, having thrown a large number of muskets in
to the San Bernard river. He also states that a
arge number of Texians had visited the Alexican
on the Colorado, and Slept there one night,
ad been there treated more a* men whom
flokeB npoh as already their coanueriiWthnn
ds eaptives, which .they had it iu ifjtu;, power to
niajfe them, had they been so inclined.' Our.in-
formant say* he fiasi been assured by those :per-
sops after their‘return to the Tcxian catnp, from
this visil, that the Alejicuos said openly, if the
Texians would only allow them to return un
molested, that theywould never trouble-them a-
gain. 4 -

It-wouIiI ho impossible 10 find space, if wo were
disposed to record them, for the numberless re-
ports which originate in the present excited state'
of public feeling. ’ Many of them having iu
0 foundation, seem to gain credence from
their ahiolute absurdity; whilst others, having
something ofa heginiag, increase as they, fly and
swell so far beyond their proper dimensions, as
scarcely to bo recognized by their originators.—
At a time liko litis, there cannot be too much cau
tion, either in reluting or believing the thousand
and one marvelous stories, v^lh wlticli the public
ear is daily filled. Hitherto, wo have endeav
ored to aseci’lnin, as correctly us possible, the
truth of the various trnnsniietinns, connected with
llie present wur, aud relate titetn without partial
ity or prejudice, feur, luvor, or afieclion. This
course we shall* still pursue, believing that our
readers will prefer wltut fuels wo can gather, to
the countless rumors that float in every breeze-
lit our last, we spoke of the number of Troops
which.had up 10 that time, rolled liko the moving
occult, wave nftor wave, to the hanks of the Chut-' ,j 0 \vnund country
tnhuoehie. Since then, at least a dozeii beautiful '* ' —-—
companies have arrived, and joined llieir patriot
brothers <jn tho tented field. Nothing is now
wuming.bin ntms-jmd provisions. These are on
the way and hourly’expected. A few more days,
and us,fine an army ns Georgia, or any other
Stale, ever sent into the field, will march in quest
-of the foe. Alay victory perch upon the Uunuers
of the lirave, and our gqjlant and generous euuu
tryuteu prove to a savage enemy, that tlie blood
of murdered women apd childreu, will uot sink
into tho earth uuhoeded and uttrevenged.
Knowing that our renders are anxious to he
informed nt whnt time llto army will probably
take up Ihe line Of inarch, we have endeavored,
to ascertain, hut have been unable to learn, In a
few ihiys'hpWever, it is thought evety thing will

relation of such matters, as

id out flank and su/rouhdlhe command of Capt.
Garmnny, who ordered a retreat back lo the house.'
The Indians pressed upon his men, keeping up a
constant fire, which yfda'returned with thodosper
ate courage of those who were determined to sell
llieir lives as dear us possible. Nothing could
have exceeded the bravery of this little band, who,
though compelled 10 retreat, disputed every inclt
of ground, and sent many a tawney savage to his
last account. Capt. G. whose name will be re
membered for his intrepid and daqntless conduct,
slew three of his‘ merciless asspilauts, after Ate
had retreated lo the house—one of them after he
himself had been shot down. Ills men- too, no
less brave than himself, kept up a constant fire
upon their pursuers, until the arrival ofa reinforce
ment of about twenty men from Fort Jones, who
charged the Indians and relieved fot the time the
exhausted troops that had fought the first hard
battle. This reinforcement being however, too
small lo,contend with the overwhelming force of
the enemy, wero compelled to retreat, ufler fight
ing ten to one,'for almost half an- hour. In these
engagements some twenty-five or thirty ludiuns
are said to have be'en killed. Those who have
since visited the battle ground, suppose , from the
sign that’was left, that the number slain w
much greater.'
YVhotevCr rumor may say ofthis fight, there can
be no question of one thing, that every man
gaged in it did his duty, and -fought willi a
courage rarely equalled and hover sutpasshd by
inexperienced soldiers. Gwinitelt and- Stewart
counties have a right to be proud of their sons,
who in the. hour of trial, have nobly done niid

titan it ever has been. Hume families ate now
inoying off who have hitherto, remained. The
lower purl of the county, particularly, is consider
ably thinned. If something is not soon dgfie 'to

spirit for emigration limy spread. Each dislikes
