I think it will be ten days before the troops can be organized and on the ppot to commence on these people. No regular troops have yet arrived, and it will be about five days before we can expect any, except a small detachment of recruits. The Indians are perfectly well aware of the movements of the troops; are getting uneasy and still express a willingness to fight. They curse the militia, called them cowards, and dared them across the river, and the militia retaliated with t le fame language; this was during the time they were shooting acre's at each other.

for three day?, but I think he is recov ering. "1 leave here to morrow for West Point to murter tnto service a regiment of Georgia militia, and bring to this place wtiat friendly Indians are there. 1 shall return in four days, when I will communicate to you the occurrences in that period." o

TEXAS. The New Orleans Bee states that news had reached that city the day before, from Galveston, of the Texian government havin effected a negotiation or treaty with Santa Anna, as the President General of Mexico. The Bee, which has always been considered lukewarmtowardsthe Texians, says, that Santa Anna was forced into this war because it was popular in Mexico, and that 'whether he be liberated, held captive, or shot, the war will be continued, and may not be concluded formonthsor years.'

giving a detailed account of the great battle of the 21st of April, many particulars of which have not before appeared in print. It turns out to have been a scene of unparalleled slaughter the. enemy having been suddenly attacked by surprise while they were taking their afternoon's siesta. The carnage which followed, and the accounts of which hail hitherto been by many discredited, turns out to have been much greater in fact than has been represented. When the Mexicans were being cut down by the justly enraged Texians, shouting Alamo, they cried out for quarters, exclaiming "me no Alamo

Almonte laid down their arms. The precise spot where the action took place was McCormick's as marked down on the at rv-

iithograpne.u map ot lexas in this city. Many of the Mexicans were drowned, or while swimming, shot by the rillemen. Santa Anna nnd Almonte, his aid, were overtaken in a quagmire where their horses had plunged and had nearly suffocated their riders. They afterwards ran on foot nnd were thus captured. When Santa Anna was brought in to Houston, he said 'the man who conquered the Napoleon of the South, was born to no common

destiny.' A pretty fellow to call himself a Napoleon, who was caughtnapping with 1200 chosen men, and cut to piaces as he had been by 600 raw Kentucky riflemen, and whose highest pretensions to military fame consisted in having slaughtered un

armed prisoners. The correspondent of the Courier describes

having been present when Santa Anna was escorted from the. Texian schr. Invincible, on board the steamboat, to be sent to Velasco. He was quite overcome with tears as he mounted the deck of the steamer, loaded with passengers, the band welcoming the tyrant prisoner with Yankeedoodle. The Cabinet of Texas

I oik, one ui me uium atieciiii scenes was presented to the crowd ed and anxious audience, that ever occurred in a Court of Justice in this,

or probably any other city. The

QMS of Uobinton had been given to j Iu"hcis, deceased

tne jury unacr the ctiarcc ol llif

judge, and Ihey had retired. The

audience were discussing the rr.crils of the case, scarcely dreaming that they would render a verdict within an hour, when th cry of 'Clear the way for the jury.'' hushed the immense crowd, and a death-like stillness prevailed throughout the place, ltobia sun was replaced at the bar locking pale, but there was evidently a light in his eye that indicated how keenl) ;md how plainly he felt what must be the verdict of a jury, who in eight minutes had decided a case of life and le a tli. The names of the jurors were called over amid the most awful nnd solemn 6ilence, and Ihe clerk said,

'Prisoner, look upon the jurors,' Ju rors, look upon the Prisoner' As j these words were pronounced, all who i were inside the bar, viewed with ea ger eyes the countenance of the un

fortunate young man. Not n'muscle

stirred, not a sigh escaped him, which

could indicate to any his feelings.

KobuiEon stood arm and erect, and to all outward appearance as cool, as calm and collected, as he was even before this murder was committed. The Clerk pronounced the awful words, the answer to which was life or death to the prisoner; the answer to which would carry to his parent and his friends, the welcome news of his acquittal, or the deathly informa tion ol his conviction: scarce a breath

was heard one could almost bear the heart of his neighbor beat nloud. NOT GUILTY,' said the Foreman, in a clear, sonorous voice, that ran through the hall; and as he spoke, Robinson, busting into heart fcltburning tears, fell on the bosctn of his weeping father, and there sobbed out his feelings.
