Clarksville, Tx
May 4, 1861,
It will be seen by the news from Indianola, that the U. S. troops encamped at Green Lake, took possession of that town on the 22d April, as we presume without opposition, and by surprise. Before this, these intruders have been captured or laid in a heap. No more time was necessary to accomplish their destruction of capture, than the shortest possible time in which our men could converge from the surrounding country.
Troops are volunteering here, in response to Governor Clark’s call, and expect to do service immediately.
