The negroes will have to f pay taxes on themselves and on all tlat they get. They greatly desire to renain'at their old homes, and work even biarde'r than over for their eantaijianie. This, we leapn, without solicitation; from themselves. When peace is restored and their freedom assured, th-b colored people will gladly return to tlieir old homes and to their avocations, and,' even among the loh established. and educated in our Norther citieg, we: hear that many are now looking forward eagerly to the day whdn they nay return to a. more congenial climate and a familiar country. HEAD'QTR WESTERNSUB.-DTRTOT, TEXAs,, IN THET FIELD,,May 13, 1805. Captain . G. Aldrich, Ausitant Adju. - tant General: We attacked the enemy--about eight hundred strong-this evening at three o'clock, an d drove him in confusion eight miles, killing 'and wounding about thirty and capturing eighty prisoners, with many arms and accoutrements. Owing to 1he scattered condition of the men, a halt was ordered. Captain Carrington's command coming up, he was again Att tacked and driven, within one mile of Brazos, when darkness put an end to the psrsuit. Had not our artillery horses broken down, we would, doubtless, have calured the3 whole command. .cannot speak too highly of the saga. city ofOolonel Ford and the gallantry of is commynahd. Our loss was four or five severely. wounded. We did. not hhve, three hundred in the fight, large numbers nothaving arrived. J., Vi SiUGT)n, Bigaie: General Comd'g. Official L. Q. ALDRiC , Aset. A1dj.

TY.-Ole 01 those ,accidents which, in ordinary times, would have spread- un. utterabl0 horror through our community, and *hieh, despite the prevailing ex. citemen created a deep sensation, oc curred at the Railroad station at this place on Monday morning the 17th of April. It.appears that, in anticipation of the removal of all army atores farth. er west a quantity 9f ailrmunition in boxes had been deposited upon the plat. form of the. depot to await shipment. For want of transportation or other causes, the boxes were not shipped, and to insre their want of value to the ap proaching ene'my, they. wore knocked to pieces, and the contents consisting of shell, grape and canister, were thrown upon the platform. No one seemed to have special charge, and everything was left to the mercy of the idle and the mis. chievous; the cartridges were- cut off aond the powder scattered, to be gather ed up as chance or choice might direct. About eleven o'clock upon that' fatal morning Wilson Gordon, a son of. Mr. Brown Gordon, procured a coal of fire from an engino then standing upon the track, with which to fire a small train he had.prmviously made. A son of Calvin Bishop, a lad of thirteen, was. scraping up some loose powder. John' Vrancis Cameron, only son of John D. C'eron, nearly thirteen years bf age, 'had just reached the depot, having left home but a brief haf hour previdusy on his way to town. Gordon in passing to his train diopped a spark upon the powder over which Bishop was stooping, and who was by the explosion blown into the air. The flames cominunicated almost in stantly to the shells, and at once a num bet were instantly exploded, instantly killing the son of- Mr.- Cameron, and hor. 1 ribly mutilating the son of Mr. Gordon, I who, as well as the' son of Mr. Bishop, died that night.-Hillsboro' Ilecorder. A ToucHINq INCIDFNT.-Some gen. tlemen passing through the beautiful village of Renton, in the vale of Leven Dumbert-onshire, about nine o'clock at night, a few days ago, had their atten. Lion directed to a dark object in the church-yard. On going to ascertahi what it was, they fouad a boy, of tender years, lying flat on his'fact, and appat.' antly sound asleep, over a newly -made grave. Thinking this rot a .very safe' d for him,' they shook him up and ask- o d him how' he came to be there? He ;aid he-was afraid to' go home, as his iister, with whom he residdd, had threat. fned to beat- him. 'And where does rour ilster live?' asked one of the par.. y. 'In Dumbarton,' was the. wer. n Dumbrton-nearly fou ' off, nd how came you to w ar kway from home?' 'I jus b med the poor little fellow, my t] nither's grave'was here.'
