This distinguished soldier, who hag just fiaished his Drilitant career in the mids} of the thunders of martial strife and the carnage of the contested fleld of Magenta, ‘was acarcely forty-five years of age, and was one of the youngest generals of division in the army. He had been ‘& pupil at the military sobool, and aoquired all his grades by favor; first, in Algeria, where he served for many years; at Rome, into which ho bad the honor of being the firat to enter; and in the Crimea, where he was made General of division, and was present at the Tcbernaya aud the capture of the Malskol!. In 1845 he commauded a Dattalion of African Zouaves, and at the combat of Aures received four seriove wounds on the same day. At the siege of Rome he was lieutenant-colouel of the Twenty eecond Light Infantry. Marshal de St. Ar naud, who had koown him in Africa, sent for bim to Paria in 1851, and gave bim the cothmand of the Forty- second regiment of the line. After the 21 December the Emperor made him General of Brigade, and appointed hum one of his aids-de-camp. He made the campaign in ‘the East, where he disting»iehed himself on several occa- sions by the grossest incapacity, notably in the Dobrud. scha. He was made General of Division ta 1855. Alter the attempt upon the Emperor's life, before the Opera, on the 14to Jenuary, the Epsror appointed him Minister of the Interior, which office be filed in a msaner that Drought eternal diegrace upon bis name. Bia ministerial career was not generally relished, avd when ho was suc ceedea by Del’Angie, there was a general feeling of re lief in Fronce. dis ‘talents were of the purely sol- dierlike order, and bis death on the eld wil! cancel whatever unpopularity he bad earned. General Espiuasse command¢ed the Second divis'on of the Second corps d’armee under the orders of General MoMahon.

He was made Colonel of the same regimen’ in 1853, and took it to the Crimea. At the battle of the Alma it was be who, with his regiment, effected the famous ascent ofa precipice by which the Russiaus were sur- prised on a side where they considered themselves secure from any attack, and then he planted the flag of bis regi ment op the telegraph, He wasashort time after p:o- moted to the rank of general of brigaiie. At the battle of the Tchernaya his conduct was so distinguished that he was particularly mentioned in the genoral order of the army. On the 30th of December last he entered Paris at the head of the Grens diersof the Guard. On the night of the 23d to the 2ith of February, 1855, he executed, at the head of two of his battalions, @ desperate coup dz main upon the Ressian works, which bave been called the “white works” and the “Siameion vert.”” Surrounded on all sides, he cut a ‘way through the enomy after a desperate fight of two hours in the dark. On the 6th of March following he ob. tained the epaulettes of general. At tne batile of Tcher- naya bis conduct was beyond ail praise. In mentioning his name in the general Urder of the 17th of August tue General-in-Chief added that he had a right to the acknow- ledgments of the army.

[Travalated from the Paris Pays, June 8, for the Nxw Yor« Heratp Mariéni, Beautompe, Beaupré, ome English hydrogra- phere, aud partioulariy the captain of the frigate Lo Gres, in his “ Manuel ae la Navigation dans la mer Adriatique,” give important information on the naviga tion of the Po, This river, famous by the symbolic ‘all of Icarus, and which bas been sung as tho ‘King of Rivers,’ is tho Padvs of the Latins, or the Fridan. It has its source in the Grigom Alps, at Mount Viso, by latitude 44 deg. 42 mip. north and longitude 40 deg. 40 miv. cast, aud afier a run of 280 miles from west to east from Turin, it falls into | the Gulf of Venive, after having been incressed in its rua ‘by several smail rivers. The several mouths of the Po, which are subject to nu- merous variations, are all included between the port of Levant and that of Volana, in the Bay of Pelazza. Thoy embrace an extent of sixteen miles. In that whole space the coast is formed by the matters which the river drifts ia its cowse, and which it takes from the lands of Upper Italy, By deposits of many centuries, those matter have undoubtedly changed the configuration of the coast abich evidently formed there a great gulf, where now a large projecting point of about eight miles is to be found towards the east. That ground, which has received the meme ot Point of Maestra, is for the most part marshy covercd with reeds and cul by a large number of channels which divide it im a great quantity of islands. All those channels and all those islands vary constantly 4s to their enape and eize, principally in the spring, at the time of the meiting of the suow, and in tas fall after the great rains, which, swelling the river, increase also the quantity of mud which it dri‘ts, From Piacenza,and after Pontelayoscuro, which may be looked upon as being the port of Ferrare, the Po rans between two dikes as fur ag Papozze aud Serravalie, two vilteges ningteca miles east northeast of Ferrare. thoss ctkes, banit to Keep the river in its bed, have risem that bed several fect above the plain it goes through; this is the reason that the inhabitants of the provinces of Ferra- 1a's and Poletina are always in fear of an inundation. The river has, 63 far as Serravalle, the name of the Grest Po. There it divides into two bravches—one going castward throws teelf into the sea at the Pointof Maestra, the cther towarcs the southeast flows into the soa at tho north of the road cf Goro. The first ix called the Po of the Macstra, and the gecond the Po of Goro, fhose two branches are now a’most the ony useful ones for naviga- tin. Between the Bay of Pelazza and the Point of Macatra there are seven prinoipal mouths through which one ves at the Po dello Tolle. a small branch of the Great Po, a through It to the Po of Maestra. All are encumbered with sancbanks, which constantly vary, and are danger- ous even for the traders, because nothing indicates them; desides, these four which are practicable can only receive verseis of 20 tons. The Point of Macstre ends at the north—the delta of the Po It ig very low, as is the whole coast of the dalta, and it is predent to remain at a distance when golng to Venice or when leaving the FF ost of the laguna. The mouth of the Po Grande, called port of Macstra, is four and 4 baif miles to the northwest of that poiat, lopgation. That mouth, which has only existed a short time, has taken the pisce of that which was at two miles m the southeas:, ‘ough which that river could be reached, but is entirely ovatructed now. Large sandbanks which cover that part of the coast render the entrance of the port of tra difficult even for the traders. Taere- fore, says Captain Lo Gras, whose ‘Manuel’ contains the best information of those mouths, one cannot too strongly recommend the commanders of particularly large ships to keep away from that part of the coast, as much on account of the rapid currents which are found there, as on account of the uncertainty of the bottoms, which constantly vary.

The object of the | Rar is is that balance of power which they may xecure at harleston by the election of the delegates under the sin- le district system; for under this plan they could proba- by elect five, eight, ten or twelve delegates ef the thirty- five to which’this Stato ts entiticd, As the controlling idos in this matter on both sider, it has been given out that each of theee factions is working for @ special Presidential candidate, Daniel S. Dickinson being the champion of the | bards, and Horatio Seymour the pet of tho softs. “¢But the real iesue between these so-called hards and softs lies between Wise and Dovglas—Wige as the cham- | pion for 1860 of the Fernando Wood faction, aud Doug! 8 the annointed favorite of the Albany nd Tam- many Hall, The game of Fernando Woot is to carry own the Northern democracy to the great Southera wing rty under Wise, while the game of the Albany egency and its affiliations ig to dragoon the Southern de- mocracy into the support of Douglas or bis Northera plat- form on the slavery question. “The results will probably be—first, the eiection of a solid Douglas or squatter sovereignty delegation from New York by a State Convention, under the management of the Albany regency; secondly, the election of a Wise pro- slavery delegation by another State Convention; thirdly, the acceptance of thé Wite delegation at Coarleston, of that balf sn¢ half recognition which drove the Van Buroa free aotl faction into open rebellion in 1848.” We fear that the BxnaLp is a 1ittle too fast in its calcu lation, Nothing would give us more pleasure than to be assured that the gremt body of the conservative demo- cracy of New York are already moving, under the aus pices of such a t-weand tried leader as Fernando Wood, to secure the nomination of Guvenor Wise at Charleston. But our own advices from that State all go to assure us that the majority of the New York democracy are work- ing with enthusiastic earnestuess in behalf of their owa well deserving favorite, Dasiet S. Dickiagon. This ig as it should be. there is Lo doubt that the New York demo cracy preter Mr. Dickizgoo or Mr. Seymour, one or the other, before any outsider. Under these circumstances the yote of the State ought to be cast for tho State’s own favorite eon. Virginia will act on the same principle, and will cast her vole for her own favorite son. From atl we can learn, Kentucky will follow the same course of ac- tion; 80 Ilincis. And after meeting at Charleston, the democracy will first lay down a complete platform of avowed principles, and thea proceed to choose # candi- date ou the ground of superior qualification and availa- bility. The great conservative body of the ‘New York demye- racy is now streogthoned by the adhesion of a large and Tegpetable number who bave hitherto acted in co-opera- ticn with the softs. At this day the gofta are restricted for the most part to those who divided from the demwocra- | tic party in 1848 to support Mr. Van Buren, | Referring to these circumstances, we can easily trace out the origin of the BeraLy’s suggestion. In case the | friends of Daniel S. Dickingon shall find it impracticable at Charleston to nominate their own favorite, nothing is more progable (aan that they will determine to cast their vote | for seme such contervativ: Southern democrat as Gov. Wi: Following out such a line of evident suggestion as tills, the Henaip may go still farther, and rest assured that if | the Southern democracy eball determine to yield the | nomination, for the fourth time, in unbroken succession, | to ube North, we recognise no man as better entilled to the | honor than is Daniel 8. Dickinson, of New York, through: | cut the South, and especially in Virginia, he is jusily re garded asa man of high capacity, ef sterling ‘principle, always true and cmservative in the maintenance of the doc trines of his party, and bold in their vindication, whenever and by whomever they are asailed. Whether the “softs” really intend to act for Mr. Douglas, while pretending to advance the interests of Mr. Seymour, we are unable to say. But we are frank togay that we expect no cordial co operation with Southern democrats at preeent from that faction of the New York democracy, Their avowed conversion from the heresies of free aollism is yet too recent to permit them to co-operate hoartily for the nomination of any Southern democrat, however liberal his views or copeervative his tendencies. So far as the Virginia democracy is concerned, the two divisions of the New York democracy have each an oid score to settle, on very different bases of feeling and re- ciprocity. When it was zed, at the Cincinnatl Con- vention, to exclude the “| is’ altogether, and thus throw the entire vote of New York into the bands of the “‘gofta,”” the proposal was favored and advocated by s small minority of the Virginia delegation.

Dickinson should at last be entitled to.an equal voice in ths Convention with those of The voice of Virginia turned the @ thing which the Dickinson Bluw to forget—and which, doubtless, their opponents find it difficult to forgive. For the’ sake of entire harmony, then, we trust that the Srtends of Mr. Dickinson may carry an unbroken delegation | from New York to Charleston. That they already com. | manda majority of the New York democracy is tolerably | -y.dent from several indications.

[From the Evansville (Ind.) Journal, June 21.) Dr. A. J.

Tue maker preferred the charge of forgery, and the Doctor was arrested and held to bail the sum of $300 for his appearance at the recent term «fthe court. The charge, though supported by the tosti- mony of a credible person, was scarcely credited in the comunity, The Doctor, in his long residence, had woa the esteom, respect and confidence, we understand, of the whole community, Ho was a skilful Feet Gao ‘hoaor- tble and prompt in all bis dealings, and an intelligent +ndinfellectual geutiemaa. Moreover, he had beea emi rently successful, and bad accumulated a fortune of $40,000. and was therefore above suspicion. In compliance with the conditions of his bond, last week be appeared im court for trial, He took ‘lodg- inge at fhe samo hotel with Mr. Arnold, the vrogecuting attorney. Io tbe morning he dalled ne of the black waiters to bis room and gave him what appeared a smail pieco of molasses randy, aud told him to drog it into Arnold's cup of coffee as be handed it to bim at the table. The negro pro- fessed an assent to the requeat, but went to Arnold and, told bim what had occurred, and gave him the substance, The Doctor was immediately suspected of a foul desiga upon the life of the prosecuting attorney, and measures were taken to detect him. The negro was take a part. He went back to Morrison after breakfast, with word that Arnold had rejected coffee and taken tes after the lotion was thrown into tne coffee. A second Crug was given to the negro to put iato a glass of milk; ‘his the negro pretended to do, aud Arnold was soon after reported to be sick. During the day , however, he appear- ed to have recovered, and the doctor was led to suppose the drug bad failed of its effects. The doctor then left Henderson, came up to this city, and purchased two large doses of corrosive sublimate of a druggist, and returned immediately to Henderson. During bis abset ce an aperture had been made through the partition of bis room trom an afjoining one, through which ail his movements and words could be seen and heard by witneeses who were to watch him.

A Visit to Robinson Crusoe’s Island, Juan Fernandez, {From the San Francisco Times, May 80.} ‘While on board the ship Golden Rocket, lying at Green wich Dock, we were permitted by CaptainC, N, Pendleton to examine his log book, in which he gives an account of his visit to the Isiand of Juan Fernandez (Robinson Cru- eoe’s Island). The ship was on her last passage to this port from Boston, and had on board fifty-five ngers Gan of whom were ladies), who intend to mate residence. G short ‘ifornia their fature place of of water, Capt. Pendleton decided to stop at Juan Fernan- dez for farther supply, and therefore shaped his courso thither—the island bei ag, nearly in his track. At 6 P, M., en the evening of h 24, they doubled tho east- ern end of id, and at seven rounded to, the Bay of St. Joseph, at the head of which the few inhabit- atts now remaining on the island are located. The facili- ties for loading water at the island Capt. Pendletoa repre- tents to be not very good. The casks must be taken oa sbore and filled, rolled back into the water and par- buckled into the boat. While the crew were at this work the paseengers rambled off in different directions to make discoveries. The island is about twenty five miles long by about four in breadth. The landis very high, rising In rogged, precipitous peaks—one of them call” ed ‘Yonkau 3,600 feet above the level of the sea. ‘The peaks aro generally overhung with clouds. The vi Ure Cavocdingly fertile, the grass growing to height of six or eight fect. Figs, strawberries, peaches and cherries abound in thelr seat ¢n. Gold: en Rocket was there in the season of peaches, and the valleys and hill sides were full of trees loaded dowa with delicious fruit. Captain Pendleton bought four barrels of the inbabitants, and the passengers about as many more. Strawberries best flourish in December and January. ‘there are three remarkable caves in the side of tho niil facing the harbor, about thirty feet in length, twenty-five ja width, and about the same in height. The inhabitants now number but fourteen, of whom Messrs. Day and Kirkaisic, from Valj 0, are the chief pergons, tuey havirg been appointed overseers of the igiaad by the Chilean government. Formeriy a peasi colony, number- ing five hunared, was located bere, and the cavcs above mentioned were used by them—but the project was found to be impracticable, and the convicts were taken back to the main land. Tue Goiden Rocket anchored on the opposite side from thet upon which Selkirk lived, and there being moun- tain to cross to react the Robinson Crusoe abode, no one ventured to make the journey. The best lauding is oa the caste: n side, but the water is twenty fathoms deep at the head of the bay, and in some places, so bold is the shore, a bout tied by her painter, and dnfting wo the limits, will be in seventy-five fatoome, an immense number of gonts are running wild over the island, and an abundauce of fan are taken on evcry coast.

Great Rtrthe of the Foundry Men—Resistance of the Pre- Pricorti—Oulrageous Attempt to Prevent Work— Police Commissions— Public Disappointmen— Firemen and Po- lice thrown into Polétics~-Dedication of a Monumen!— Splendid Military Parade, do., do. One of the most formidable, determined aad protracted “strikes” ever made by journeymen mechanics in this country now exists in this clty by the mouldora in our iron foundries, During the last quarter of « century tho manufactare and sale of stoves has been moro extensivo in this city than at any other point in the whole country, The advantageg afforded here for procuring iron, coal, moulding sand and other materials have been considered superior to any other locality, andthe facilities for tran- shipment of the manufactured articles to the East, North, South, and the great and growing West, by means of river, canals and railroads, are unsurpaseed. Hence the employ- ment of millions of capital and many hundreds of work- men in the prosecution of this important branch of manu facture. Everything went on smoothly—the workmen satisfied with their wages, and #he employers with their profits, until the panic of 1867, when, upon a simultaneous fai!ure of Western remittances, to which dostination most of the goeds were shipped, the proprietors wore induced to close their establismente. Businas having greatly ro- vived, and confidence in a measure been restored, the foundries were opened early this season with an imtention of resuming work upon as extensive a scale, and the om- ploy ment of as large a number of men—several hundred— a8 previous te the panic, Work had been resumed only a few weeks when, for tome cause, the workmen at one of the foundrids “struck,” os the saying is, and rufused to labor unless certain conditions which they demanded were complied with by the ‘‘bosses.” These were not readily assented to, and before any compromise could bo affected the moulders in every stove foundry in the city ‘“‘etruck”’ also, It was then diecovered, for the first time, that a combination had been formed, a ‘‘union’’ instituted, a compact formed, which embraced every stove and m4- chinery mouider almost inthe city. Consequeatly the business became suddenly suspended, except in a few ma. chinery furnaces. The proprictors and the ‘‘union’’ con. mittce have beld conferences for the last two months, but have failed to arrive st any compromise. Which is most st fault, of course we are not capable of judging. Attempts have been made to employ men from other sections of the country, bat as the combination seems to extend both far and wide, none could be fouad. A few days siuce, b few men came from Canada, were engages to of the foundries, but were attacked and moat ly beaten by somebody as they wero proceeding to Whe foundry to commence their labors. A man bas bech arrested, and is now under indictment, upon suspicion of having -been engaged ia the outrago. ‘There is reason to believe that his conviction, or that of any one elac, will scarcely be accomplished. Thus matters now stand. Both sides seem determined upen registanca. Toe furnaces remain in a measure closed, while the ‘strikers’ are holding their meetings and circulating subscription books, eoliciting donations for their support until such time reconciliation takes places. Tho“proprictors are advertising for workmen, but refuse to employ any who ‘Delong to the “union.” It is a lamentable atate of things; but eo the fouadry business stands in this city. ‘The last Legielature paseed a law wresting from our Common Conuci! ail contro! over the police establishment, rendering it in some of its features similar to the act which governs the New York Metropoiitan Police dis- trict. law was eaacted, or claimed by ite fricads, 10 take the government of the police, the appointments, &c , &e., “out of the control of politics.” The former law existed for several years under the control of the Commoa Council, which was whig and repubiican. A year or so since the term of the Chief. who was a republican, ex- pired, and the then Common Council, which was democra- tic, appointed a Chief belonging to their party. Tho ma- jority in the Inst Legislature, being strongly repubdticaa, therefore propoeed 8 new law, expressly for the puroose of “taking the police appoytments out of the political arena.” Well, the commissi®hers gelected were ive—two police msgistrates, presumed not to be politicians, the Mayor of the city, whom the Americans and republicans both claimed, and two elected, one a democrat and the other a republican. This commission at length comple- ted the appointments. Instead of retaining the- demo- cratic Chief, as was gererally expected, they suspended him some two years before his term expired, by the ap- pointment of oue of the most active’and violent republi- cans that could be selected. Only one democratic captaia was retained; all the others wore removed, and republi- can politicians subsituted, and so throughout the entire force. The disappointment with regard to the action of a mojority of the commissioners is exhibited very fiercely; men and politicians of ail classes are blow and bellowing and threatening; gome accuse Mayor Perry of treachery and upfaithful- ness, while others are holdi the “ rod terrorem”’ over the head of Justice Parsons. 6 repult, however, is that instead of taking police matters ‘out cf politics,” the action of the Commigsioners hag thrown the question di- rectly—more directly than ever—‘‘ into politics,’’ as the first election will abundantly prove. The removal of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department long before the ex] of his term, and the appointment of another, a man of different and strong political affinities, is also cre- ating much dissatisfaction among the firemen and citizens geterally. There is hereafter no other alternative, though uch to be regretted, than to propel both the police and fre “machines” by’ steam generated in the political boiler. "The Burgeeses Corps of this city yesterday dedicated a monument to the memory of their late commander, Capt. mas Bayeux. the ceremony was at once both solemn and bighiz imposing, aud took place ia the cemetery. Major General Wool, second in command of the United States army, together with his staff, honored the occasion with their preeence, as did also several of our reepeoted and patriotic clergy, the Common Council of Albany, and @ numerous collection of distinguished citizens of ourown as well as from Troy, Schenectady and other saburban villages. The parade of the Corps, numbering sixty tive muskets, in connection with the “Old Guard,” forty six piecea, through several streets of the city, on their return, elicited the highest commendation from the united ex pressions of the mapy thousands who witnessed it.

T tntended writing to you so soon as I returned to this city from the interior of tho State of Texas, and now, im pursuance of that intention, I herewith send you seme of the items of news of this part of the Union. The North is certainly interested in Texas railroads, Texas cropa and in Texas politics. I believe nearly all the stock of the railroad company which contemplates building a road from Houston to the Red river is heid in New York and Boston. At least all the funds come and are expected te come from those cities for the enterprise. Thig road cem- nects at Houston with tho railroad now finished to Gal- veaton, which fs forty nine miles in length. At the mid- die and northern portions of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad it is intemded to intersect the Pacifie Raifroad now progressing, and with the ronds radiating into Miszouri and to the Mississippi river at Cairo aad other points. At this time fifty miles of the ‘Toxas Central’’ is com- pleted aud in running order to Hamptead, and twenty-five miles more will be in working order next month. Itie further stipulated that one hundred miles in addition will be completed in November, 1860, and itis now under contract. There {sno doubt this will be accomplished, which will bring the road nearly up to the thirty-sacond de- gree of latitude, where cotton culture may be said to ter- minate, and where the wheat region flourishes in this part of Texas. In fact, for thirty miles south of the thirty-second degree cotton and wheat are equally cultivated, and afford abundant crops. But morth of that line is the wheat region, which is soon destined to astonish you with the annual yield which it will produce, The past crops have been estimated at 2,809,000 bushels, and the crop of this season at 4,600,000 bushels. It may safely be calca- lated that the Texas Central will have the entire freight from 8 country embracing an area of four degrees of lati- tude by two of longitude of the most prolific cotton and whea: lands in the world. Undoubtedly the stock of this road will pay very large dividends, and no doubt its toe healtby condition is the reason why at this time it is um- dergoing a system of “‘doctoring”’ which is well under- stood by the initiated in Wall street. Large sums are now being made by contractors, directors and stock brokers Out of the management of this road. I need not tell how this is done with the experience of Erie and York Central before you. As for the crops of cotton, wheat aud corn in Texas this | year, the general impression is that it wil! prove the most / abundant seagon ever known. The frosts which ‘nipped in the bud” did much damago; but replanting and the most refreshing rains have redocmed all losses. The wheat crop is now harvested, and the result knows. In some places much complaint is made of destruction by the ‘wheat bird,” which im flocks infested the fields before ripennig. This damage, how- ever, was only partial, and in a few counties. This “wheat bird’? is the “‘rice bird” of the Southeru States, the “reed bird” of the Delaware and ‘“boblink’’ of the North. I bave seen the bird under every name, and shot it, too. Here I have exomined iton its Northern migra- a keen, hvely, lean, sharp eyed little follow, looking out fer plunder. T have shot it algo on the North: ern lakes on its Southern migration in the month of Sep- tember. There it is identical in size, &c., with its ap- pearance here. But when I have filled a game bag with them in. the autumn on the Delaware they sented quite “a different appearance. Then their liw@g im tho vicinity, no coubt, of the large mate them corpulent, lazy and With an olesginous seediness about them.’ In truth, thiy reminded me of some quondam sharp, hungry politiciaa, who bad found himgelf in a fat office, and too indolent to exert binee! ‘This reminds oe that I promised to write afew words about politics, In this State, if you wish to take a front pew in the democratic repablican church, you mus} yell joud in favor of Southern righta and the dissolution of the Union; you must roar deep in favor of the African slave trade, and you must perpetually ‘do cry” about the in- te able, everlasting question “the nigger.” These of the democratic party are the oracles of the pure 1th, But, mest unfortanatery for them, they are fey, In one or two counties they succeeded in inst ing their delegates to the Gubernatorial Convention, im | conformity with their orthodox notions; but elsewhere am overwhelming raajority will not sandtion their movements, Hence they failed to obtain an endorsement at the | ent Stato Convention.

It {a very well understood that Gen. Sam Houston will be the opposition cendidate for Governor. [He has already been nominated —Ep.] The people have forgiven him the Kansas-Nebraska act, which sott'ed ¢ elavery question inthe Territories. Sam enra ago, when he run ag a candidate for Governor, ard when ‘be was defeated, that the Kansas- Nebraska'act waa a messure p:rnicious to the South, &o., while the South knew better. The people of Texas knew better. But hey have pow forgiven Sam, and the proba- bilitics are that he will be elected; at least such is tha prevalent impression in this city and in the counties through which I have been. . Another element which will figure in the coming oleo- tion is the Indian war, at this time threateved, if bot actualy commenced, at the Reserve, near fort Belknap, in Young county, fne State of Texas set apart twolve ‘eagues ot land upon which the fcxas Indiana were to be settled by tho United States goverm mevt, to be reserved for the Texas Indians exclusively. Oe of theec reserves is called the Brazos Agency, and con- taing about eleven hundred Indians, who have made great progrees in civilization since 1858. The other is called the Comanche Reeerve, and is not far distant to an adjoining county. Both reserves aro under the exclusive jurisdic. tion of the United States.
