Hitchcock, Capt. Delesdernier, from GAL
weston. we are in possession of Galveston
papers to the 18th instant, and our regu-
lar files from the interior:


The National Register of the 4th inst,
says, President Jones has authorised Col.
Clark l.. Owen, Of Jackson county, 10 raise
one thousand men, by voluntary enrolment,
to be mustered into the United States SER
vice under Gene raj Taylor. Maj. Hays,
with his command, is also to cooperate
with Gen. Taylor.


We learn from the same paper that the
Comanche who killed little girl at Angus
tine, last winter, and who was suspected Of
having been accessory TO the murder Of
young Hornsby, in May last, was together
with his father executed by his tribe. Ac-
cording 10 the Register. the Comanches are
and have been divided into two parties, one
being IN favor Of peace with the whites,
and the other Of war. Until very recent
~, the war party has been in the ascend
ami; now, however the councils Jf the
peace party prevail. and as manifestation
OF their fidelity and their intention 10 be
governed by the treaties into which their
chiefs have entered; the first act Of their
power has been 10 make an example Of
those who have been gui ty OF an inffaction
Of those treaties. The Register says:


"Ihe annual Indian council will be held
al post No. =, On Tahwoccaro creek, near
the Brazos, on the 18th inst. We are in
formed that this council will be numerous
ly attended by the several tribes. Besides
those with whom relations Of peace have
been established by treaty, very large
number uf CUmanches will be present.

have no treaty, and who has, as yet, never
attended any OF our council talks, lately
had an interview with one Of our agents in
the San Saba, and promise TO be at the
council. and unite with other bands Of his
nation, in a treaty Of peace.


..Ihe late foray OF the Comanchcs he
