From the American Xaticmal Preacher. THE DANGER AND EVIL OF De parting FROM GOD. A SERMON, By Rev. Edward V Kirk. Boston, Mass. “Take heed, brethren, lest there b fJ n ,. heart of unbelief, in deparfsng from the h\ mg God. H tu. 8: 12. The gospel is heaven's music on earth ; n melody of two voices. The air is sung by Love ; and the burden of the song is, Salvation by Mercy. It this •were the only voice, and this its only theme, yon would perhaps hear nothing but tones of tender sympathy, of fervent affection, of joy, of hope, of delight. ’ -But this song is sung to the soul in the midst of peril. You therefore hear an accompany ing voice singing a subordinate but harmonious part. It is tremulous and solemn, sometimes aw ful, as it utters the notes of warning. We are now to listen to it, as it announces THE DANGKIt AND EVIL OF DEPARTING FROM OOP. We inquire— 1. What is it to depart from God ? Men sustain many relations to God which can never be destroyed. Ho will always be our Crea tor, Preserver, Sovereign and Judge. So one may always sustain to his follow-creatures certain rela tions that do not depend on his character or prin ciple' ; often not upon his will. Bit a man cannot be said to live as a social being unless h c loves and is loved; and at the basis of love, is confidence. We may continue to be the creatures of God, lis live on ills goodness, to be held in the hollow ot j Lis hand, to remain under the inspection of his ; eye, to be responsible to him; but we have depart ed from him at an infinite distance, it wo exercise no confidence, heart-confidence in him. There arc. then, what may be (•ailed a fundamen tal departure from God, and various forms of sep aration consequent on that. j 1. The e<- ntiul, fundamental departin'* of the > aoul from God is the want of confidence. Confidence in things is that act ,>t reason through the understanding by which the mind knot's the properties of substances, and calculates with cer tainty upon, their action. Confidence in per so ns An an act of reason through the heart, by which it knows their qualities, and calculates with certainty upon their actions. By ttio first, man lives m communion with nature; by the last, in com munion with man and God. It a philosopher were to Jose his confidence in nature, or if ordinary men j should, they would cease to live in harmony with things around them, and even to sustain Tnc. A j man cannot step, or cat, or try to speak, without j confidence in nature, lie cannot live iu society without confidence in man. He cannot live in communion with God without confidence in him. What it is. can be better understood than defined, j The infant exercises it when, looking into the ; m ttiierV h.ce it' soul is traquillized to a perfect re- j pose. Wo mav strengthen confidence by reason in ■ and l v evidence; we may sometimes an i\o at j it bv reasoning; w-,-should always bo able to d< f Jit by tbs ia e s ms; yet in iteelfit is not r a-on, but the heart in 0.v.-r >e. Another being ) is felt, in a measure, to be it'life: the source ot ; its joy, futisluc ion, repso an I hope. ,W, when the eternal .iehovah ceases to be that ! to any sou!, it has dot art I from the living God. j Ir lias either no confidence in any being, or it lias : given all its confidence to creatures, in place of the i Creator. _ j tt mav be contemplated, however, more dis- ; tinctlv in Pome of those forms, i 2. 'Which are tie revolts <f that fumLimedal dc- j pari are ji am Hi in. Confidence inGod involve? a belief of his Word, because the veracity and faithfulness of a being is j one of the great objects of confidence. The be- j iiever knows no. only that G d is, in distinction | from nature and man, but ting lie is a Person of the ' most absolute an t uncliangc-ablc vei.icity and i faithfulness. Unbelief U the doubt or denial of this. What he has declared is not received as truth. This may manifest itself in many forms. There may be skepticism a-to fee moral character ! of the Seri} ’ ares. S one think they tend to form a spirit contrary to sound morality. Some have j no confidence in the narratives of miraculous events. Sonic reject their testimony as to the char acter of man. Some deny the threatening? as des criptive of future e rets. To sonic, the promises do not an near worthy of their pc sonal confidence; to others, the requirements are not received as the very commands of our Almighty Greato . This is the evil heart of unbelief. The testimo ny of the Creator is not received ; and this is be- j cause there is a want of confidence in him. By faith \vc know that ti e worlds were made of nothing. Mow there may be an old heathen max- ! im “Out of nothing nothing come?,” or there may j be inherent difficulties in the case which make it | seem reasonable to some to doubt this fact; but j he that has power and confidence in the veracity of j God will have no difficulty in believing this state- j ment. And so it will be found with all the other I statements of the Scriptures: confidence in God • will make it easy to believe them ; and the loss of | that confidence will give increasing weight to tiie ! objection? and difficulties. Difficulties about the i threatening?, about the Trinity, election and atone- i ment, gain force in the same way. Suppose, now. j that Abraham had indulged an evil heart of unbe | lief, he would have found it impossible to have J surmounted this objection: ‘Tt cannot be right, even iu God, to require me to slay my innocent child;” or this: “if Isaac is slain, the promise must fail.” The rich young ruler stumbled here ; he had not confidence that Christ could make him happy, if he should give up all his earthly posses sions*. Dive? could not believe that ho would be made to weep and wail, and cry for one drop ol j water, and find an impassable gulf between him ; and heaven, “jn-t for the few sins he committed | iu this life.” But if I f had had confidence in God i n? infinitely holy, inflexibly just, and unebaugea- | blv true, it would have been as manifest in his : paluc i a it became in 1.5 s prison of despair. The j thief on the cross might Lave been staggered by the greatac-S' of hi? guilt, the strength of his evil habits, the weakness manifested by the dying Sa j vior. But he staggered not through unbelief. He [ trusted in the word oft ’Urist, because he had con- 1 fide nee in the character of C blast. In fact, laith as belief must spring out of iadh ;? confidence. And j if the Scriptures present God iu the unity o( In* j essence, we believe it; if in the plurality of per sons, we believe it. If the Father is represented ■ as giving the Son to be a sacrifice for us, as oiler- . ing him to sinful men; If ns accepting the sinner . iu Christ; or if the Son is represented as offering j himself to us, and the Spirit; or if the Spirit is ! represented a? offering to enter our hearts, there is nothing contradictory in all this, bul something | every way accordant with our necessities and the l Divine goodness. When Adam and Eve heard the i threatening upon the act of eating of the prohibited I tree, and the prohibition itself, they doubles* acqui- | esced iu it a* every way right. But when their con- j fi icnce in God was abandoned, they lost the ira- j pression and the belief of the command and the threatening. When the little church continued praying until the day of Pentecost, their confidence in God remained unwavering. But an evil heart of unbelief would have chilled their zeal, and scat tered them from the prayer meeting So some occu pation that should seem more reasonable and pro fitable, as well a? more agreeable. Men will not ; continue near to God in fervent, importunate pray er after their confidence in him arc shaken. Their interest in the Scriptures willabate, because, insensibly to themselves, they arc losing their con ti lence in their truth and importance. Confidence in God also involves love. If he has in finite moral excellence, and that is perceived bv any one, he of course loves him for it. A parson may believe that God is good witjn ut loving him ; but to have confidence implies love, so fur as excel lence is perceived. When, therefore, one begins to be indifferent, and cold, and thoughtless of God, he has departed from him. He does not any more believe that God i? that perfectly excellent and gracious Being he once thought him to be. “Thou hast left thy first love,” is the charge against the Ephesian Church. The heart has greater confi dence in some other person or some object. The wor d in some form has come to be supremely ex cellent in his view, and God is forsaken. Another effect of losing confidence in God is, cessation of obedience. Who will hesitate to obey God, when he believes that God is reasonable, wise, holy, just and good, and that in keeping his command meats there is great reward ‘ We have departed from him by an evil heart of unbelief when we can transgress his commandments, and neglect his re quirements. And, again, we depart from God when we cease to hope iu lum. Our confidence is gone. Although he has uttered so many gracious promises, yet, if we do not confide in him, wo can have no confl deuce in them. Suppose a man like Daniel, threatened with the lion’s den, if he pravs toGod ; yet lie hopes for de- ' Uverance against tfie king's command and threat, ! because of his confidence in God. Suppose a wo- i man corrupt as the woman of Sychar; she knows ; that Christ can purify and exalt the most debased nature to the purity and glory of an archangel : 1 that is the faith which saves her. Suppose Peter to be overwhelmed with a sense of Jus guilt in denying Christ, yet he knows that the blood of Christ cleanseth from all sin, and he has hope, i But Judas has departed from God, and fled to < Mammom. He has no confidence, and so becomes t 9 prey to despair, j Now we inquire— -11. How >vc are in danger of departing trotn Gvd. ! We may say, in a word, it is by having a tenden- i ■ cy to unbelief: “lest there be in any of you an i ! •vil heart of unbelief.” 1. It is a danger arising from the heart. The heart of man naturally swarms with those venomous reptiles that are the enemies of piety; varying in their modifications in different persons; in all csaenially the same. Their name is legion. One of the mos't dangerous positions wo can occu py is that of doubling their existence, power and subtlety. One is sensual dulness. If you would j sec it in the extreme, observe a man who has juti , come out of a fit of drunkenness. Alibis finer I sensibilities are blunted; he has no eyes to see spiritual beauty—no heart to relish anything bul brutal gratifications. If you would see it in a form less revolting, take a person who has been reading romance until the midnight hour of Saturday, and then attempt© to hear or read the Word of God on Sunday. They hear, says Jesus, but do not un derstand, because their ear is waxed dull of hear ing; they have not “their senses exercised to dis cern both good and evil.” This was the ground of our Saviour’s caution : “Take heed of yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, a id cares ofthis life.” It is easy to blunt the edge of our spiritual sensi bilities, and to lose every perception of God’s being and excellence. Worldlinessis another; the insinuation into the heart of that dreadful falsehood, that vve can be happy without God, but cannot be happy without the world. Softness, effeminacy and cowardice are sources of infidelity. The burden, the shame, the pro tracted pain of the cross, the greater e\ ils to which it will still make ns liable, begin to weigh heavily with some, and they go back from Jesus. Sloth is an enemy of faith. Faith must be kept vigorous by exercise. Unbelief grows best when we are spiritually asleep. If you remit study, meditation, prayer, and the activities of a self-de nying obedience, you will gradually lose your per ception and relish of the truth, and so your confi dence in God. Perverseness of will is an enemy of faith.— i There is in some natures a sulleuess which makes them enjoy being contrary. They must have something to oppose, somebody to he opposed to. or they are not contented. The indulgence of that temper destroys faith. Self-will, too: no matter iu wj\at way it is in dulged. even iu the petty affairs of life, it separates the soul from it? Saviour. Irascibility, or an angry disposition, is the ene my of faith. It is never indulged but it brings a i cloud over the eve of faith, and chills the heart of love. Covetousness, or a narrow diluting to money and possessions, will separate the heart from God. Pride is another of our enemies. Sometimes it makes one delight in doubting where others be lieve; in showing off skill in argument ; in de j spiting wliero others reverence. It makes us re i iuctanf to yield our prejudices; ready to tauc I offense ; averse to humbling ourselves before man or God, Now one may retain the forms of religion after the very root of it has decayed; and wuen there is no longer confidence in God, there u no more j real communion with God, no more life. But we may trace it beyond the heart. 2. It is induced- hy which permits ; those poisonous weeds to grow. We begin to depart from God by indulging , 1 wrong thoughts. And we must be in the habit of j questioning our imaginations and fancies, and not i | throw the reins on their nicks; fur, if we do, ! they will <. rry us away from God and holiness. By refusing the cross. Just wherei hrist would ; humble us, we may resist. Just where lie requires i i self-denial, wc refuse to obey. The very opj r : tunity may have come for iis mightily to attack | orr corruptions, and we neglect it; there begin' a | I secret declension. Wo arc not so strong in God 1 I from that time. Neglect of the right kind of meditation. Tnc ! confidence of the heart in God is to be strength- I ened />‘.y discovering the reasonableness of that con* j fidence; | By meditating on God’s excellence and glory i ( By vigorously applying the mind to di-cover i them; By filling the mind with promises, and their j j fulfilment to others, and to u? ; and with the glory j of their final fulfilment, i Now we must sec— j 111. The eril departing from God. Itisallsum -1 med up in this: he Is God, “the living God.” j See, 1. Its immediate consequences. It affects the whole character. Faith i? the basis : l of all genuine excellence. But faith in God is the I ! sain of Christian character. Here let us stand, ! i fixed in this principle. After we have ceased to •' regard our heavenly Father as a Person, ] ->os>cd i of a moral nature, and an infinitely perfect char acter, allthc rest of our religion is a delusion, our 1 i life is hollow; we have a name to live, and are dead. If any grace appears to be growing, it must | be sickly, and soon wither. We have departed j from the living God. Its immediate consequences are realized, too. in ' the sense of diminished happiness. Every ,-xer- I else of rational confidence in a being benefit* u-. ‘ and makes us happy. Distrust, or the want of trust, is our misery. And after a being has reposed in God, and felt the strong support of his omni: o- j tent arm. it is only wonderful that the same per -1 son, on becoming a backslider does not become j deranged. What a change ! To go from God to j his creatures for support, for consolation : to ahan- i ■ don the arm of the Eternal, and lean on an arm ! of flesh I “ Departing from the living God” to go ; to a dead creature 1 If it were not gradual, it would ( produce an overwhelming shock, which might ! well unsettle reason. In prosperity, there is no | | sbelteting in the living God; in adversitv. there ! ! is no abiding under the shadow of the Almighty, i Jesus has ceased to he tiie shep' erd, and the poor 1 soul wanders and stumbles on deceitful mountains j or in miry plains. And, 2. Its ultimate, results ar U-rnt-lf. By this unbelief tho.-c Jews lost ('.maun who came out of Egypt with Moses ; and it is this their example the apobtic is hero citing as the occasion j of his warning. It will certainly tend to diminish thcgloiv of heaven to him who thus declines. All tl-.at dark j season is a time of unfitting for heaven. It is a period taken out from the btief season allotted t * preparation. This is sad to contemplate. h will diminish his usefulness. What good ’s such a person doing by Ids example, bv his eon- i vernation, his prayers 1 He ha? departed from the ! living G o. There is no life, no power in him. It may be the precusor of eternal death. How does he know he shall ever recover from it ? His former experience cannot assure him ; the doe l trine of “perseverance’’ cannot, for he has lost the evidence that lie* Is in Christ, or ever wn> ; Hero is n call for repentance to such as have do- I i parted from the living God. Let them contcm- ! i plate the folly of incurring such a loss as the U.s : of God’s friendship and favor and fellowship; of ; repose in the Almighty and faithful Jehovah, the ! 1 Friend of Abraham ; the cessation of their own I 1 lofty and holy conceptions of the infinitely glori ous One. Once they could adore him; the°soul i seemed to stand on the verge of infinity, and soar | on its joyous wings, upward and upward, toward ; anevet increasingly attractive smile of parental i Lve. But the infinite is now annihilated ; and the soul has lost its wings, and sunk down to creep with the curse-burdened serpent <m the ground and feed on dust! Once the soul could cast it? ! cares on the compassionate redeeme* - . Now it must bear them alone. Once it was full of hope ; the future was an opening vista of brightness, of repose, of blessedness. Now it is dark, repulsive. I fearful. And for what has all this been sacrificed Here is Esau again selling his birth-right for a , mess of pottage. Not a moment should then bo 1 lost in recovering what may be recovered of these I squandered treasures of the heart. Repentance is the first step ; tbatis, the beliefo{ the evilofdenart thus from God. This precedes all true belief in the mercy of God. To increase the strength of this godly sorrow, let memory recall the kind of j service which has been rendered to Cod during the period of unbelief. Formality, heartlessness, j insincerity, have made them offensive to the heart- i searching Jehovah, unprofitable to yourselves, and j a reproach to Him whom they mocked. There j has been unspeakable wickedness in aur pride and I blindness of heart. Wc have refused to see the truth, to bow to Christ’s golden sceptre, to accept las grace, to trust, hi> faithfulness. Precious opportunities have been wasted, op portunities of improvement and of usefulness. Ev ery sabbath passed in unbelief is a mispent dav ; every sermon thus heard has furnished an oppor tnuity of spiritual profit, only to be despised. The precious Word of God has lain neglected • providences have been unimproved ; the influen ces of the Holy Spirit have been trampled under foot; the Lord's Simper has been a solemn farce to the careless participant. Every opportunity of I prayer has been permitted to pass by, as a cloud ! that had no rain. Precious, precious hours, days, ! privileges, opportunities wasted ! These should j bring the heart contrite and broken to God’s altar i while yet there is hope. Who can measure the wickedness of treating God thus! His perfections of being and of cha racter, his veracity, mercy, faithfulness, justice, all set at naught; and by such a creature as iran; poor, insignificant man ; by a man redeemed at such a cost; by a man who has been enlighten ed and impressed by God’s truth; a man who has vowed to servo him ! Oh!let the heart break us it reviews the past; such a length of time spent in backsliding! How many days has it been; how many months ; how many years ? And all this time the soul has hung in fearful suspense over the hypocrite’s hell. All this time there has been a reckless indifference to the welfare or the woe of others’ souls. Surely the evil heart of unbelief i is the evil to be lamented above all that generally causes grief. What is the loss of property, of health, of friends of human favor, compared with Both professors of religion and those who have ; made no such profession should inquire, in view of the admonition we have been considering: Is 1 there in me an evil heart of unbelief? “Take heed” 1 is the word of warning. “Brethren” are addressed; } for it is certain that all who aro not united to Christ | and ids people hr faith Imve in them an evil heart of unbelief. Brethren are addressed, because neither their profession nor tlieir experience pre vents them from having this fearful possession.— b “Any of you/* says the warning voice. Vour sta- p lion, your pretensions, others' estimate of you, cl will not make it impossible in your case. Look ( within: “lost there be In you an evil heart of un belief.'’ And to guide your research it may be « well to inquire about your views of God himself. — fi Do they alVect the heart, either awaking reverence, or love, or trust, or godly sorrow? When you think of God, do you desire his favor above all good: do you lay your property, your plans, your n person, your interests at his footstool; do you de- , sire to cast down every barrier between your soul * and him ; docs his loveliness, his glory, his love satisfy your soul? Inquire after your plans ofhle; i what are you living for; what pleases you most, \ or with whom and where you arc most contented, j Inquire after vour ordinary thoughts ; in what channel they run, when you are m the Lord s * house in company, in business, alone. Inquire after i your habits of reading, the character of the books j you read, your motive ii* reading them, the impres sion they leave, on you. Inqnire after your conversa tion ; whether the general' tenor of it is to promote faith or unbelief. There is not so much mystery . about the loss ofspiritual light and religiousjoy as many im igine. It isthc withdrawal of God’s Holy Spirit that accounts for if all. But the reasons of * his departure may ordinarily be seen in some of i the modes of grieving him hero alluded to. M e depart from God in one oftwo ways ;by neglect- ’ ing cither the law or the gospel; by ceasing either to believe or to obey. If we try to obey without fait hin Christ, we depart by a legal spirit from the , God of grace. If wo trust in Christ that we may be saved without obedience, benevolence, self-de nial, activity, earnestness in doing right and doing good, we equally depart from the living God. The life ot faith may be summarily defined ; making Christ our trust, and Christ our example- IClmmiclc ft Sentinel AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. | SI \DAt MOU.MMJ OCTOBER .*», IHS2 INDEPENDENT TICKET- Foil DANIEL WEBSTER, OP MASSACHUSETTS.

And why did this occur ?No blame attaches to any one ou board the train. In the 1 first place, the engine was an old one, and was at ! l tlm Tune unfit iW ihe service required of it. TilO i engineer could not make time with it, hut had h>>t 1 four hours that day, winch brought the train to . the bridge after dark. This may be. regarded as ; the primary cause of the accident. 2-.1, the watch- | man of the bridge was not at his post. If he ha 1 ! | been the accident would n<*t have occurred.

OMMt MOATED, j Leveeing Augusta. Mr. Editor; Time permits me only to make a I suggestion on this important subject—l will not say , proposition—it is this: If the Planters below the j ;ity would, by an embankment, protect the South Commons from the effects of back-water, would it | ; not be to our interest to raise a levee to prevent j - future aggressions from the direct current? Since examining the damage done ourstreets by j ;he late freshet, I cheerfully retract an allusion made, a week or two ago, to the tardiness in re pairing them. Little injury was sustained from it to private property or by our mercantile commu nity. The canal, railroads, and even the bridge, have been speedily put in working order. The health of the place has not in the least been inter rupted ; and with the exception of holes washed in our beautiful streets, and the loss ol the crops in the low grounds below us, Augusta has resumed her great and wonted prosperity. The recurrence, however, within a few years, ot alarming freshets, should turn our thoughts to means of prevention. The question naturally arises, if New Orleans is protected against the mighty Mississippi by a levee, why may not Au gusta, by a similar embankment, keep the Savau- i nab out of her streets? But the cost of such a | work is urged as an insuperable objection. We ( cannot afford to pay for such a wall around the j whole city, for in every estimate this has entered j into the calculation. Now we tire impressed with the opinion that if we were to raise a levve seven to ten feet above the high-water mark of 1840 or 1352, the planters immediately below us would co operate and effectually prevent the back-watc ever reaching the South Common. It ought to be generally known that there are miles of embankment on several of the planta tions just below the city, in fact reach mg up to its corporate ! limits, and which, if raised higher and 1 united to a levee at our eastern boundary, might protect us completely. It is to the interest of >v. - I uors of these possessions to co-operate in this con- j templatcd undertaking, and they arc men of means, j energy and intelligence. The topography of these lands favors the drain- j age of all rain-water before the freshets of the riv er usually come upon us. The B averuam empties into Cupboard Creek, and this into Rocky or the j Double Branches, which latter enters the hit van- j nah several miles below the city. The embank ment on these lands commences at or near tins : hu t named creek, and reaches, as already stated, our South-eastern boundary. Raised five feet t higher, (but it should be ten) the late i re.-diet ; would uol have covered this levee. One p .inter j we know contemplates building his dam much j higher, and no doubt others will do the same, and j t!ds part of the work may be completed oven thou 1 *! j Augusta do nothing for herself. Can anyone ih*-n doubt that these gontlcim u would not co-operate if the city were fully protected by a levee ? It’ they knew that no water could teach their po-ses-mir th rough our streets or by the Beaver-dam, they certainly would keep out the river opposite their respective places, and tlm -ecu r< us a a-in l the back-water. If this be true, then wo invite attention totlf* j important consideration in kneeing Augn-ta. But after all, the mala question is. what woqM ! this levoc cost 1 None but t ic luDv cmiipetc .t it; 1 • i engineering could make a proper estimate. There i | is no doubt that the work can bo done, mid that to j secure the city forever. The great diftiemty is Hawk’s Gully ; but f. rtunatcly st no mid dirt are here must abundant.

The News says that Gov. Bell will call an extra session of the Legislature in February next. An extra from the office of the San Antonio Ledger <nves the following account of an Indian titrht. It was furnished by Mr. Wallace, the mail carrier bet ween San Antonio and El I’aso; September 15, 1852. Dear Sir—-I now write to inform you of the mis fortune which happened to me on* my way to El L* llso with the mail. At Big Bluff, five miles below the California Springs and about seven miles above the Fainted Caves, on the evening of the 9th, about 8 o’clock, a party of Indians, thirty-two in number, charged my camp, whilst m the act of harnessing the animals for the march. I ran out in front of the Indians and asked them what they wanted, and to halt or 1 would fire on them. I re ceived no answer other than the war whoop and the flourish of arms. We raised our rifles to fire id them at the distance of one hundred yards.— Tom Rife onlv , tired, but without any effect, ihe Indians then'feli back, circling around us, took possession of the top of Big Bluff, directly oyer our camp, and then the fandango opened, which continue 1 until dark, the termination being on my 1 part. Kodolph Erie slightly wounded, one mule I and one horse killed. On the part or the Indians I three killed that we know of, one doubtful, but 1 badly wounded. Before sunset the Indians rein forced seven or eight in number, and before dark ■ took their" stand around us. 1 put the three ; ambulances in triangular shape near the water i hole, which was the only one within five miles.— : All quietness during the night. Before daybreak Tom Rife and myself climbed to the ton of the bluffs, determined to hurt somebody or be killed, but found no Indians there. At daybreak I dis covered eleven Indians within three hundred yards of camp. I hailed them and told them wc were ready for the day fight. The commander came close to camp, and asked why we did not travel the road and come out and ■ light them 1 replied that T was not in no hurry, i ! that I had plenty of provisions and animation, and 1 could whip them on any part ot the road. I“*-‘ ! commander finding we were all in camp, returned I with his parly on tin’ road towards the California I Springs. *As the sun rose, I discovered, at about I half !i~milo distant, a party of thirty-one Indians, ! p av ing a gully near tnejroad, which it was evident ; that t hev expected us to* pass in the night, and lu te- .Ud to have a secret shot at us. After collecting on the bill, they placed sentinels at three different points, two on each hill. During the time seven i Indians came in from towards the Kio Grande, and j fVo in appearances, a general council was held on tie ib;!. Thn e different smokes were raised. Cine j w:-answered west of the Eio Grande. Aftei this the whole party marched on the road. 1 came to the conclusion "to return to Fort Clark for an es | cor* to pass the head of Devils river, and if no cs ! ( it could be furnished there, to goto Fort Inge. 1 n the first place, my answer was that they had I no animals, which I did not much expect. 1 then j started to Frort Inge, and found but one connnis ' sinned officer. He remarked that ho would like very much to go himself with an escort, but being the '-uly unmissionod officer at the j>ost, as sever al had deserted a short time previous. I wish you to stale to the Dost master at San Antonio that I i could not by any means pass the Indians with the i mail on mule back, for the number which kept | around us. Afar they struck camp, I retreated | p.r t lit Las More-. They followed us us far as the I crossing of DeviL river, and then slopped. J will j return t oday with three hired men, which makes I our number nine, mid if wc cannot clear the road, j wo!.all tight it uni with them, audit’ any arc left, i t< make tlcdr way hack to K1 Paso for the return I mail. W. A. Wallace. i The Vi estern Texan says that a short time since the dead v-iv of a man was found by some Me xi -1 caiis ■. nr the rancho of J. VV Gray. A day or so I previous a man on horseback was seen |iatsiii£ in that direction, and shortly afterwards four others passed the same wav. They had not been long gone when the report of a gun was beard, and soon after r he four men returned with a lee horse. The ini. r< uce is that the first was a horse thief, and that the tour men were in pusuit. They probably thought it was not worth while to trouble the I country xvilh his punishment.
