from Bexar, The trade Of which city Is
Represented as very dul:-~


A few traders have arrived from the
Rio Grande within the last six or oght
weeks, but they brought only q few hun

Iconfrmed the report circulated few
weeks since, that Agaton, the bandit who
Ihas long been terror to the border Sc.
Tiers, was killed about three months since,
while in pursuit Of a party OF traders,


The latter having received intelligence
that he was following their trail to attack
them, suddenly turned back and lay IN
ambush in a thicket-- Agaton and lew
followers soon after appeareds and while
passing, intent on capturing his supposed
victims, was shot down and Killed instant
lly. He had long committed crimes with
impunity, and ii was to be expected that
his career would terminate in 3 violent
eath.--There are only two smaA com.
panies Of troops now stationed between

Antonio Perez were near San Fernando,
Both Of tnem are anxious to return. to
Texas, The eiamily Of the former was
