Troublesome Indians tu Texas. DEPREDATIONS "Y COMANCHES FROM THT RESERVATION. A letter received by Gen. Sherman, forward ed by Gen. Sheridan, from Captain Charles ( Hod, 21th infantry, command Intosh, Texas, dated December 1, states that on the night ot the 2d of November news was received that @ party of Indians, forty in num ber, had attacked a sheep camp and wounded the owner to badly that he was not expected t live. A neighbor called on the citizens for vol unteers, and forty armed men started im pur suit. The same party hung seven sheep-tender> on the 50th of November, at San Diego, anc left dead in the vicinity of the ranche amongst whom were some of. the most respect able rancheros in that neighborhood. Travel ing due west, ey threw two men into a mill at Borya’s ranche, one of whom aad his neck bro ken by the fall. Onthe Salado they killed « shepherd. From this point they were pursae/ rapidly to the croasing of the general wagon road, about 1 miles from Eagle pass. All par- tles who saw the Indians describe them a> wearing red flannel shirts, and they were un doubtedly Comanches from the reservation. A GANG OF RAIDERS PUNISHED. Capt. Hudson, 4th cavairy, whose gallant fight near Liano river, Texas, December lth was briefly mentioned some days since, has made a detailed report of his operations, in which he says:—“Ou approaching the Indians they took position on a rise on the ridge imme diately iu the rear of their herd ponies, dis mounted and tied their horses. At this time my command bad been in full view for half or three-quarters of an hour, so that they had « full opportunity to count us. Knowing thix and never having before heard of Indians dis mounting, | ordered the non-commissioned officers to abandon the pack train and close up with the command. ‘The Indiansopened tire with carbines at about 400 yards, but it was not re turned 1 had placed the command on the same ridge with them, ‘listant about 75 or 10) yords, dismounted. The Indians stood about ten minutes after the command got to work. | iben saw some of them runnin; ben [ mount ed the men and charged. re were 30 or Ww Indians engaged, and I believe them to be Co marches." Capt. Hudson's command consisted of 41 men from companies A, B,C and I, of the 4th cavalry. WHAT GEN. SHERIDAN SAYS. In forwarding this report Gen. Sheridan thas endorses it:—Forwarded tor the information of the General of the Army and Indivn Burcau From the direction taken by this band in re- turning, it may be concluded that they came from the reservation north of Ked river, and were Comanches, and perhaps joined by other Indians.” Hyproruonta From Cat BiTes—A young man James Raymond, residing at ¥” Gola street, Brooklyn, was reported last night to be dying from Bydrophobia, which was caused by the bite ofacat. The unfortunate young man was sutfering the most intense agony, and dur ing bis convalsions tt required six men to hold hin.

The wound healed up, and no further notice was taken of it until a day or two since, when he manifested symptoms of the terrible disease. ian was called, but he grew rapidly worse, and in bis present condition can survive but a short time.
