L Captain Callahan's Address to the people of Texas?'The Battle. Eagle pass Oct 4, 1S55.?Fellow Citizens: As commander of the expedition which recently departed from your midst, to destroy the en campment of the Lipnn Indians, and to exter. minate the warriors of that tribe ??f saiages 1 deem it my duty to report to you my progress, actions and success. On the 24th of September, I was joined on the Lacon by two companies of volunteers under Captain Win. It. Henry of San Antonio, of Segun, and proceeding by regular marches from iiiav |U(iuc anci biic inui?iu*, <tiu%<;u UH u?f September on the Itio Grande, at the moiilli of Los Moros. Here I found tint it was next 10 impossible to follow the savages further, on account of the high water in the Rio Grande. Waiting here a few days for the high waters to subside, to ho purpose, I determined to march down to^Jagle Pass, about thirty miles distant, and cross the river if I could and proceed directly to the camp of the Indians, which was situated about 35 miles west of the river, near the city of San Fernando. Having arrived at the town of Eagle Pass. I received from the Aleade of Picdris Negras. opposite said town, and from the citizens of the Rio Grande generally, the warmest assurances of aid and support, by both men and means, in my efforts to serve our common country, as well as that of our republican neighbors, by the des. | truction of a band of svage outlaws, which has j long infested our frontier murdering our wives j and children, and depredating upon our proper- j ty" < On the 2d instant, I crossed my men?part at | this town, and part a few miles below at a sort j of ford, where on account of high water we had | ? W. .. . . ? ~ I irciiu uiuicuuy in swimming our norsiis. oil the 23d, I resumed my march onward to the Indian encampment; at the head of one hundred and eleven rangers and volunteers. At noon we encamped on a small stream ten miles west of the Rio Grande, where we refreshed ourselves and horses. Up to this time the Mexican au thorities and citizens had shown us much kindness and evinced their good wishes as to the success of the expedition arid many even volunteer- I <cd to enlist under me but none were received. After nooning it an liour or two we num bed on toward San Fernando beyond which were ithe Indian camp, Having proceeded some ten Hjiles j?Jo?g live highway to the city over a Widely extended prairie, ftbout 3 in the afternoon, while marching leisurely along, wc descried three I / horsemen approaching us from u mot ot timber about a mile to ike northward. At iirst those men were not noticed, wcsypjwsmg tkew to bo Mexican horsemen, buz on tkejf snpioiydimg within two hundred yards of us, discovered them to be Indian Chieftains, ready dressed and paiuteu K>r oaltlo, and they were evidently strive ju'jj to decoy us from our position. Forming my men in a lino along the road I \vaiited for the en -my to Wgiu the battle?for ; \i" this time large numbers of them hud emerged 'from tin; timber, seemingly with the intention of 'atmeiijn'* us, they soon spread out in front of us I ? # ! .

About this time one of my men fired on a chief, about 200yaulj distant, and broke a leg of his imrsij. Perceiving that the eueinv composed of botli Indians and Mexicans, were trying to outflank us, I ordered my men to charge, which was executed in fine style, and 30 of the enemy were slain. Whilst making our charge, the left flank of the enemy, which extended for near a half mile, came in on our rear and opened on us a very n i i'ti? r II a severe lire uuring which lour 01 our ganani, iwu were killed. The fn.nl and right flank on which we charged after a galling lire fled before us, leaving us in possesion of the position which it was our object and determination to gain. Then we discovered that our enemy numbered some six or seven hundred, as all their footmen were concealed it: the limber and bad not advanced ill view on I lie priarie. Wv men formed in a strong position beneath the hank of a small creek on which the ciumy had been encamped, and their whole force coming up against lis we continued the battle for about threo hours, when they tied in the direction of San Fernando, leaving as we heard this evening some eighty five killed and with the loss of one hundred wounded This we learn from some Mexicans who were i .!.? i?..l~ i r_ <1. ^Ilplgiu IN lilt UittlM, illKI iruill I'lIIUI M'UIW since my report to his Excellency, the Hon. E. M. Pease. The same Mexicans have also informed me that the actual number of our ene my was seven hundred and fifty men. After the retreat of the enemy, which was about dark we supposing that they would come on us again before day with large reinforcements fell back to the Itio Grande, where we would be safe from any number of tnon and any quantity of artillery they might bring against us. Annmnfliincr tho town of Pipflras NWras i i ; o # o about sunrise we took possession of it and now occupy a position opposite Eagle Pass, on the west bank of the Rio Grande. The men who were killed of my command are W. II. Clopton and August Smith, of my company Rangers. Willis Jones, of Capt. Henry's command, and H. R. Holland, ofCupt. Benton's company of volunteers. The men wounded are John Gregory, dangerously, of Capt. Henrys company; Capt. Nat lienton, slightly; and 1st Lt Henry B. King, slightly. Patton, slightly, and Eustace Benton, mortally, of my company. It becomes me to say that Capts. Henry and Lk'iiton demeaned themselves gallantly through out the conflict, and it gives me much pleasure to remark that to them is attributed in a great degree the success of the actien. Adjt. Win. A. Pitts conducted himself with admirable coolness, and gallantly won for himself a character as a soldier of good nerve. I over looked the mention of the name of Adjt. Pitts in mv report to Gov. Pease, and am glad to correct the error here. Of Lieuts Win. Kyle and Wm. Tom of my company, and Lieuts. Piirgs and Houston Torn e /I .

I informed the prominent men of this place this morning that we did not c<>tnehore to tight the Mexicans, but to whip and exterminate the Indians, and that we do not yet desire to fight them although they have killed and wounded several of our best men.

Wo mooted none of tlieir property until we found thc.m frrhtingside by side with the Indians, whose demoniac bauds are still wet with the blood nf Tevje? wnm.n and children. And we have since troubled nothing save what was necessary for our own support and safety. Had we supposed the Mexicans would have united with the Indians against us we would never have crossed into their country with our number of men but we are now here and intend to hoi'J a footing until something is accomplished. The Mexicans must t'ther deliver to us our Indian enemies or abide the consequence that will hereafter result to them from the perfidy which lias already been enacted.

Our Court Convened yesterday morning, His Honor Judge Munro, presiding- After the opening services, His Honor charged the Grand Jury in a brief, but able and business-like manner?denning in clear and unuiistakcable terms, the dutios and province of this grand Inquest. In the course of His Honor's remarks on the examination of Public Buildings, &c., he embraced the occasion to compliment in flattering terms, our excellent and admirably arranged Court House, which he said, was one of the best in the State, and regretted very much that h? con Id not s?v mimh for,Ci>lnr.<oia ana Cliarlcsion, the Court Houses ol winch were wholly until for the purpose. TVe are not advised in regard to the amount of business before the Court, but believe that no case of special interest will come up. On the Sessions side, as usual, there are several cases of assault and battery?those intolerable nuisances that perpetually infest our Cour's of Law, and clog unnecessarily, in many cases, tho operations of the Pnnrl Tf it id n?-?nAilw tlio /Inttr a!' \fnirutrntoc tn "try small and mean cases," then most unquestionably should a large part of the cases for assault and battery, lugged into the Court of Common Picas, bo kieked'out and assigned to their proper sphere. Reform, in thi9 particular, is necessary. The attendance upon the Court is about as usual. Our Rail Road Arrangements. A correspondent has handed us the following communication, which we insert with pleasuro. The subject is calmly and reasonably considered. We endorse the same and recommend it to the attention of our citizens: tu n T or. A. U v? / ? KJiCU-tf flute ami L. J. Patterson, Esqs. Gentlemen":?We look to you as the guardians of our pecuniary interest in tlie S. C. Rail Road?and also that you see that our convenience be consulted, provided the sarao bo not at too great cost to tho Company. We do not expect the Company to run a special Train for our accommodation?but cannot our Train, which runs to Kingsvillc, return here by 10 o'clock, and leaving Camden at 3 I'. M. return to Kingsville and thus connect with the Charleston night train?by adding two or more freight cars to that train, loaded for Camden, and which could be brought on by our Pat'engcr Train, it would add much to our accommodation in getting up perishable articles. Transient visitors arc deterred from visiting Camden, ours being truly a night train ; tho Wednesday and Saturday arrangement is simply ridiculous?not allowing time enough for the Engine driver to rub off and oil the iournals of his Locomotive. The fact is, the unjust discrimination, made against tho Camden Branch, has driven off every passenger who is not obliged to travel on it. These tilings should be looked into and to you we make our first application. KERSHAW. OUR BOOK TABLE.

Mr. Editor :?I was pleased indeed to notice in the last Journal, your timely and pertinent remarks upon the present Rail Road arrangements between our 'JWn and Kings ville; I am confident there is no good reason why the Train from Kingsville on Wednesday and Saturday should not bring up the Mail from Columbia, and remain at our depot at least until half-past 2 o'clock; and when it is remembered that the evening train is not due hero until 8.15, it might even remain until $ o'clock, which would allow two hours and a half to run thirty eight miles, and three hours and forty five minutes to return the same distance. The other nointsof rrrievance vou have so fully I O ?

O ail isruiliunce WUICII Id Ud H'liuwo . V. That tiie Bars or Stands in Taverns, and the doors of each Store where liquor is sold, shallhe closed on Sunday, and it shall not be lawful to sell liquors of any description 011 any part of the said premises of said Taverns or Stores on that day." This is as it should he; selling liquor is connected with the Grocery business in our Town, and should therefore be like every other husi ness, entirely suspended on the Sabbath day ; to accomplish this, let gentlemen who cannot do without a drink one day, buy what they want on Saturday and drink it at home; the fourth commandment is as binding upon liquor selling as any other business, for it cannot be called an act of mercy or necessity. This ?inth section having been so opportunely revived, it is hoped that it is not merely revived on paper,' hut that it will he rinidlu and inwartialhf en I V ?' A " forced. There is another feature of the Law which deserves some attention?it is to see that the conditions of the Quart License are observed, for the law strictly forbids the drinking 011 the premises where sold, any part of that quart though sold under a license; Sec. 9lh S. L., 504. There are in our Stale, laws, which, if enforced, by the agents of those laws, wohIJ do much to stop the evils of the traffic and improve the morals even of those engaged in it, as well as of our people generally ; unfortunately those agents have trusted too much to issuing their edicts on paper and leaving them to enforce themselves, how they have succeeded the past will show, hut what is past, is past, we hope the future is more propitious for REFORM. Accident on the Soi'tii Carolina Railroad.?The passenger train on the above roan on i:s why iroin nnmourg ro Uharlestf^ met with a serious accident yesterday. TfT/ following is a reliable account of the occurrence: About a mile and a half above Branchville, the conductor's car attached to the train was thrown from the track bv the displacement of a bar of iron and completely demolished. The car contained about twenty persons, all of whom were more or less injured, receiving cuts and bruises, but no one seriously except Capt. Crews, the conductor of the train, a negro boy twelve or thirteen years old, and one of the train hands. Capt. Crews injuries are of an intcrii.il character, and theirnatureor extent could not be ascertained. The negro boy, it is thought, will recover under proper medical treatment. The train hand had one of his.ankles crushed and will be compelled to endure amputation of the foot. The passengers in the other cars who had escaped injury altogether, very promptly and humanely rendered all the assistance they could under the circumstances in rescuing the injured from the wreck. Mr. England, the baggage master, who was himself badly hurt, Mr. Matheson, Adams & Go's Express messenger, and Mr. Rabb the engineer, deserve particular mention for their efforts. Curolina Times 27/A hist. Svsou at Cedar Springs.?This venerable body of the clergy of the Associate Reformed j Church of the South and West, convened 8th j instant at the above named Church in this Dis trict. The meeting was well attended and excited great interest in the surrounding country. Quite an array of talent and learning gave brilliancy to the occasion, and much important business came up for discussion. Among the distinguished members present, was Dr. J. T. Prcssly, of Ohio, formerly of this District, and one of the ablest men it ever produced. After an absence of more than thirty years he returns to the scene of his boyhood and early ministerial labors, hoary with the frost of age hut still stout in trame and unabated in intellectual I force. The committee appointed by the Old J School Presbyterian Church to appear at this Synod in behalfof an amalgamation of the two Churches it seems, failed to attend; frcm what cause, wo have not been informed. We are glad to see that a conferring committee was appointed by this Synod to give the subject a ! thorough consideration.?Abbeville Banner. From. Newberry.?The Newberry Mirror publishes an address to the voters of that District from Col. Moorman, announcing his resignation as Senator, on account of ill health ?and odds the following: "Col. Moorman has served our District for a long time, both as a Representative and a Senator and in a manner highly satisfactory to his constituents; and his withdrawal from the public service will he regretted by his nuine rous friends. In his retirement he will carry] with him the sincere sympathies of those friends ! on account of the affliction which has inado this step on hi3 part necessary." Gen. A. C. Garlinpton and Mr. John P. Kinard, are announced as candidates for the i vacancy.

Fortunately, however, there ; was proven to be no danger, and our cousideratc passengers returned to the boat, when they were immedintly put ashore on a sand island in the middle of the river, and left alone to ruminate on the principles of self-preservation and the best means of extricating themselves from their unpleasant situation. Tlie names of these miserable things ought to be given, ai.y man who could be guilty of such base selfishness ought to be held up to the just indignation of the world. Who are they? Accident.?We learn by private letter from a friend at Waltcrboro, S. C. that two Sabbaths ago, at the Methodist Church in that place while divine service was in progress, and the building crowded to overflowing, the front gallery instantly gave way, and came down with a fearful crash, upon the heads of those who were seated underneath. The gallery was filled with negroes, and gave way under the weight. The consternation and confusion is described as having bre.i great, many supposing that the entire building was falling.
