MISCELLANY. EXCITIXG SKIRMISH WITH THE INDIA5S IN TJSXAS -The following description of the suc cessful repulse ot Indians by Captain S, D. Carpenter, of the army, was extract, ed from a letter of the acting surgeon of Camp Lancaster," giving an account of the affair, partly as a spectator at some distance, atid partly as he was informed at the time by those Immediately en gagi: ' I' - I . . , Cavp L icirrti, Texas, Oct. IS, 1866 A, few days since our camp was in a high state of excitement in consequence of a brush "with the Indians, and the fears entertained of the entire loss of our party. Captain Carpenter, of the first infantry," who commands this post, went out with a mule jteam to procure some poles for the purposes of the en campment. The party consisted only of the captain, armed, with . a fowling piece and a revolver: two musicians with rifles, privates McCulIoch and Den nou, with muskets, and the teamster, who was unarmed. '? I accompained them, carrying my fowling-piece, load ed only with very fine' shot, used ! for ornithological porposes in the expecta tion thet I might come across some small birds. Not the slightest danger of any attack was apprehended. It was found necessary to go further than had been expected to procure poles of the required length; .'but they were at last obtained, the team loaded, and we were on our return td-the camp, the captain, musician Beardall and myself riding a short distance in advance, not , having seen any thing n excite the least alarm. While thus on, pur homeward way, the captain, ott turning round, saw the team had come to a stop, and rode back with Beardall. tp ascertain what was the difficulty. I kept my ground watching their progress, and intending to await their return. On their way back they passed through a hollow; and losing' sight of them, I was looking ev ery moment for their Ve-appearance on rising the other side: when, imagine my consternation on seeing a party of Indi ans, sme on foot and some on horse back, suddenly make j their appearance betwefn'meand my friends, w ho were no where to be seen. ; My interest was intense there was not a shadow of doittt on my mind that the captain and Beardall had been cut off before they reaqhed the men and (earn, which were now! surrounded and must inevitably share the same fate My eyes still rivetred on the spot, one man, whom I recoenised as the un armed teamster, burst from the throng, pursued oy an Indian tne race was one for life or death it soon terminated, down went the nran exhausted or killed Horror struck, I waited to see if any more ot our tnends would attempt es cape, but I could see only the Indians running about, yelling triumphantly ; it was eviaeut the whole of our party had "been cut off without fifing a single shot. While still intent onj the horrid scene, me juuian wuo naa run aown tne -teamster, turned towards me, having neen jotned by anotherr hellbird mount ed on a piebald hor$e. This roused me irom my trance, not a moment was to be lost; our camp .was five, or six tmiles distant: 1 was a- stranger to the jroad, my horse was new to me; I had never been accustomed to hutdle faces over ravines and thorny bushes; my chance for escape was small, but my life was al stake. 1; put my horse to his utmost speed, and he gained upon my pursuers. Having satisfied myself of his nerve, and that he was good for tne race, I turned to fake one last; look at the scene of action. Indians only were in sight! ' j There was then only but one course to pursue find my way, if possible, back to the camp, and give the alarm. Well did my horse do his duty; letting him take his own way; I reached ihe camp in safety, and a strong paity was immedidtely sent off in pursuit of the Indians, to avenge ,'the death, and, if possible, recover the dead bodies of our friends. On their rdute, much toUheir astonishment, they met Captain Carpen ter, with his men and their horses, and one of the mules, thi rest of the team having been carried off by the Indians. The account given ty ihero was as fol lows: On appronchiug the men and team. Captain Carpenter saw that they were "nearly urrounled by from fifteen to twen. ty Indiana, armed with rifles and bowa and arrows, some on foot and some on horse back. When joining his men, they bad their guns raised, about to fire, the Indians then being at long rifle shot. He imme diately ordered his men to hold their fire and to lay down in the grass of the prairie. "Their guns once discharged, he was aware there would be no time to reload, and that they would be rode dawn and crushed by the superior number of the enemy, j This timely order being obeyed, saved ibe par- y- . - :. : ;. .. -! - The Indiana being thus defeated in their project f stampeding j our men, apd not deeming it safe to approach them on horse back, dismounted and advanced on j foot ; and when sufficiently Vienr, commenced a fire with their rifles and bows and arrows This fire was continued for fifteen min .tes, the Indians drawing nearer and nerr- imwiiit nearer tod nearer our men crouched in the grass, sustaining but little injury, the rifle balls passing over them and few of the "arrows taking effect till they reserved their fire. When the Indians bad approached to within four rods, then the word was given to fire, four were killed and the rest rat without stopping to look behind them. 1 - The injury sustained on our side was the eaptain wounded by an arrow passing , be tween the fingers of bis left band-; private McCoIloek wounded by an arrow in the foot ; the capiai .'s horse so badly cut with an arrow in hia leg that it was witb-ora difficulty the blood could be staunehed suf ficiently to enable" him . to be led back to earop The mule team which "during, the affray, had strayed away, feeding, bad been carried offby the Indians with , the exception of one, which on their precipitate retreat they had left in the harness.- The unarmed teamster whom I had seen running and thought was killed, had fallen down the banks of a creek and had,escap ed unhurt. You will readily.belieye thai, the rejoicing was great at this meeung of our friends, whom we had mourned as dead; and most gladly were they, .welcomed back, to -the camp, wbtcb Uiey.eb tthu any further disaster ; ' A BOLD PREACHLR When Samuel Davies waa - President of Princetown College, he visited England for the purpose of obtaining donations for the institution. George the" Second had a curiosity to hear a preacher from 'the wilds of America." Ha accordingly attended, and was so much struck with the com manding eloquence pf ihe preacher, that be expressed his nstonishmenl loud enough to be heard half-way over the church, in such terms as these : '-He is a wonderful man Why, he beats my bishops !" Da vies observing that the King was attrnct ing more attention than himself, paused, and looking his Majesty full in he fuce, gave hfm, in n emphatic tone, ihe follow ing rt-buke: "When the hon roarelh ; let the beast of the forest tremble ; and when the Ij rd speaketh, let the kings of the earth keep silence." -The king .instantly shrunk back in his seat, and remained qui et during the remainder of the sermon. The next day the monarch seut for him. and gave him fifty guineas for the institu tion over which hs presided, observing at the Si me time to his courtiers "He is an honest man an honvst man " SUFFERING AT SEA. Information has been received at the Department of S:ate at Washing that the ship Rapid, which sailed from the city of New York on the 29th day of May last, bound to San Francisco, California, en countered tempestuous and intenpely cold weather off Cape Horn, thereby losing ten of her crew, and disabling, to a great ex tent, the remainder. She had put back to Rio de Janeiro for men to m n the ship. ANOTHER DREADFUL STORM WRECKS AND L S3 OF PROPERTY" . BiTFAto, Nov. 5. There was another severe glaie on Lake Erie last night, and as a large number of vessels left on the previous dry, anil m but few of them have been heard from, it is feared that many have met with disasters. Tht bark A merican Republic, from Chicago, on enter ing the harbor 1 st night, went against the break-water and fil ed with water immeili ately. She was loaded with 18.300 bush els of wheat The crew were rescued. The propeller St Joseph, with a full car go of merchandise, is ashore at Fairport. and in a dangerous situation.

An nffray occur red about 9 o'clock this morning at the corner of King and Spring streets, between S. H Patterson and Robert Lyons, in which the former was dangerously wound ed from a pistol shot in the left side. He was carried to a house "near by, and Dr. Pelzer was immediately called in, who ex amined the wound and pronounced it dan gerous.' It appears that' there bad been some words between ?he parties before, and on meeting cvsually this morning, the quar rel was renewed, with the above result. Lyons was immediately arrested and con fined in the Upper Guard House. 2Vrw I , ROBBERY. f Two men named John Williams and Henry Brown were arrested on Elliott-st. about two o'clock this rooming, by Ser ireant Fash and Private Coalesof the City Police, on the charge of havmjr robbed John Perry.a young man from StAndrew's Parish of $37, It appeals that Perry had come to the city on soma business for his father, and bad went to the- Theatre, af er which he went out with a friend on a trur of observation, and finally called at a house in Elliott-street near the Bay, where his friend left him. The proprietor of the shop then took him In charge, and proposed to carry him to a house where he could lodge for the night. t , . . He finally fell into the bands of the prisoners, Williams and Brown, who pro posed to escort bim to safe quarters. They got as far as Adgers wharf, when Brown seized him by the throat and held him un til Williams searched his pockets and re lieved. hitn of: his pocket book;, containing tne above amount.

Fh and private Coate immediately went in pursuit, and succeed ed in arresting the . parties in a house on Elliott: .Mreet. They- were .immediately searched, but failing to find the money, it was suggested, from some visible indica tions, thai Williams wa endeavoring to swallow it. ' He was immediately choked, and a two dollar bill was taken from his throat, and he 'bad probably succeeded in swallowing the balance. ' , Only about four dollars of the money has yet beeri recover ed. The parties have been handed over to Magistrate Rhett for prosecution. 25. -4 Thefm X LHK<t!

THE exibting condition of political panics, snd of partisan strife, naturally suggests ihe estab Hhingof such s journal as the "Southern Senti nel" proposej to become. The present, indeed, is a criftis in our political history, never w itnessed be fore. The Constitution has buen invaded ; the laws trampled and spat upon ; religiousliberty assailed y Dalloi boxes hroxen and burnt ; tne landmarks ot our political ancestry partially effaced; the wis dom derived from a time-honored experience un seated; atrange and questionable men have been pushed into high positions; and fanatici.-ni, unchai ned from its axe and Us faggot piles in the North, is heard to howl among na in '.he South. These evils, sofnrasit humble abilities shall serve. THE SOUTHERN SENTINEL ' Will endeavor to arrest. It will endeavor to incul cates reverence for the luws-as they exist, snd for the Constitution, as it has been interpreted by the wise men of the past -end by the Fathers of the Democratic faith. It will defend not only political but SELreious liberty, and will do battle against ev ery political heresy that may appear, whethei hatched in caves or culverts, or open convention.
