Late and interesting from Texas.
--
Mr. Smoot, who resides in
Denton county, Texas, arrived in the city yesterday and reports that
Gen. W. C. Young was in full pursuit of
Montgomery and the
Federal troops, and had over taken the baggage, supply and ammunition trains in seventeen wagons, which were taken possession of, together with some beeves and horses.
Gen. Young had written for more troops, and 4,000 additional men responded to the call.
Montgomery had evacnated Fort Ouachita, and was on his way to
Fort Arbuckle.
It was the determination of
Gen. Young to take
Forts Cobb and
Arbuckle. Fifteen hundred Indians had joined his ranks.
Montgomery is the
Kansas ruflian and outlaw, and if the
Texans catch him and his men, they will waste no powder on them, but the whole set will undoubtedly be roped.--
N. O. Crescent, of Monday.
