world.

Texas
Rangers. - In the list of officers of
the Texas Rangers, published on the first page of this paper, the names of
Surgeons Williams and Hairstein were accidentally omitted. - These gentlemen are
said to be eminent in their profession. A Lieutenant of the corps visited us
yesterday. He is a man of powerful stature, a fearless rider, and apparently
able to cope with a platoon of the enemy. His bowie-knife would strike terror to
the soul of every Lincolnite. The Rangers are now encamped at Howard’s Grove,
but will probably leave soon for the Northwest. They ask no quarter, and will
give none.
