INTELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS Wasurncron, Feb 15, 1848. A Patriotic Effort to Transact Business. To-day, a resolution was adopted to close the debate on the loan bill to-morrow at 2 o’clock — In doing this, an nour and « half was consumed Then came the speeches—first, from Mr. Cro- rier, on the whig side; next, Mr Houston, of Alabama, for the administration ; Mr. Hudson, | on the whig side, and Mr. Nicoll, contra, Fora | wonder, aod it should be recorded, all the speeches had reference to the subject under con- sideration—the loan bill; Mr Crozier touched it lightly at the tal end of his remarks, and those of the others altogether. The previous or- atorical efforts, with the exception of Mr. Vin- ton’s opening speech, were about the war ; but, as money is thw sinew of war, there is an inse- parable relationshtp between the two. The dis- position to do something for the government— jogrease the wheels, which are creaking witn dryness—is highly commendable ; and, there- tore, we were pleased to see every motion made to adjourn,warmly contested. Our triendCrotch- ett, although the House has not made an appro- priation to lignt the splendid chandelier, was enerous enough to afford N joudt he thought that as indu: order of the day, on appropriation for his benefit would be considered. But, et half past 6 o’clock | an adjourament was agreed toby a major- ity of three votes; and a late night’s session Was avoided. BLIX, Wasurneton, February 16, 1848 The Proceedings of the Day, and the Pastimes of the Night. The debate in the two houses, on the Mexican ‘war, was continued to-day, after the the old fashion of speaking by the hour, not for the pur- poses ofan enlightened legislation, but for the dear people of Buacombe, which, we suppose, is all well enongh, excepting in so far as con- cerns the costs thereof, and even in this respect delay may prove to be economy. Mr. Yulee, in the Senete, continued his ex- position of the law in relation to the sovereignty of territories of the United States. His position | is strong, if not unanswerable, to wit—that all the Stites are equal co-partners in the territories | of the Uvion—that Congress cannot legislate to prevent a citizen of aslave State from taking his slaves into such territories, any more than they cn prevent a citizen ofa tree State from tsking with him his personal chattels, because such legisixtion would destroy tne equality of the co-partnership, and the sovereigoty overa terri- tory being vested in the federal government, the prople of a territory have no authority in the matter whatsoever, and therefore the position of | Mr Dickin uatevable. This is r xs a political movement to head off Gea s in the South—to arrest | the design believed to exist of absorbing Mexico—and to urrest it by a double pro- | cess, nxmely: by showing to the N -rth that | 3f all Mexico is anorxed as a territorial ap: | peodage, 1t must, under the constitution, be | slave territory; and by showing tothe South, on the other hand. that the epparent liberality of Messrs.

While Congress may exercise its legirlation over territory so far asis necessary to protect the interests of | the United States, ths legislation for the people should be exercised by them under the constitution.’ Mr. Yuuer byl ener that the error here, was in suppos- | ing, that io the inhabitants (becausethere were no peo- | ple, in » political sense, in a territory) the error was im rupposing, then, that the inhabitants of a territory had | some inherent, innate, and inborn elementary powers of sovereignty, which would suthorizs them to accept or | reject any government proposed for them by the federal goverpment. of to modily, alter or abolish any system of government established over them by the United States {Read from Wheaton, on [ntermational Law, and called the attention of the Senator from New York (Mr. Dick- inson) to the extract—which assumes that the sovereign- ty over a territory must be altogether subject, or alto- gether independent.) There were no pope in a terri- tory of the United States, in a poli sense—they were inhabitants— and did not even possess the sover- eign elements of a civil society. . Yulee read further extracts in support of this point, and commended them to the attention of the Senator from New York, and re- commended him to brush up his readings on inter- national law, and the principles of sovere: ey as be- tween a state and @ province, or territory. intended to show the Senator from New York the true ground in shall see. Mr Yc ee proceeded to k upon the definition of the undivisible rights of sov: i Mr, Dicxinson—It the Senator wills w me where the authority dees reside, then we shall know where it does not reside. Mr Yuver resumed, and read from a book, that a ter- ritory of the United States did not possess organi- zation of even a civil society ; but that it possessed only prelimivary organization of a province. Another misappropriation of terms by the Senator from New York is, that he uses the word territory us applied toa political organization There is nosuch term applicable tion. Territory is applied to agiven land. Jt isnot used in the consti- 't has no political meaning It has no other import than so much of the public do- main It applies to th iblio lands Mr Yulee said. tost in imitation of the example of the Senator from New York, (Mr. Dickinson) he had put his opinioy down in wri d with their indulgence, he shou! read them to tne Senate. He accordingly read from his manuscripte: A territory of the United Braces belonged to the Unit-d States; the sovereignty of such territory was vested in the United States; that isin Maine, New Hampshire, Virginis, Texas, Florida.a 4 all the States ing the Union. known as the United States. The -roment, then. as the trustee of all the States to which a territory of the Uoiced States may belong, has exoiusive jurisdiction over such territory; but this so vereigaty cannot be constitutionaliy exercised, without the strictest regard to the equal rights of all the mem bers of the Union, as oo-equal partners, and 00-«qual 8. verel ns over such territory. Mr. Foots—Who does the Senator quote from ? Mr. Yoree—I am quoting, sir, from the honorable Se- ator wno is now addressing this body. The people of the United Staves, then, potas Boor owoers in an equal de- gree in every respect, of the rights of liberty, and the rights of property, in @ territory of the United States — Vhe rights which exch of the parties possesses in iteelf, | under the constitution, mey b- equally possessed under tbe sovereiguty of the federal government, in a territory of the United States; for to deny the power of trunsfer of such rights, is to deny the equality of the parties to the federal compet, and ir an insult and a degradation to the party or parties excluded Mr. Yulee said that for the consideration of the Senator from New York, he would read further from those elementary authorities on coustitutional law, which have been sanctioned by time and experience. Upon this subject of sovereigaty. sir, I will call the attention, of the Senator from New York to Puffendorf A Vorce—What is the authority 7 ean ae asid that he referred. to Puffendorf upon Jp poiut. Mr. Dicxinson—What does Paffendorf say about the United States? (Laughter ) Mr Y@.re said that he would read to the Senator from New York the gsneral principles of law pertaining tothe question (He read an extract) This wae | Sound iogic and principles. and he would suggest to the Senator to revise bis readings, by a recurrence to the wiedom of these ys, which had not lost | Virtue by beings nctifi-ed by sage it was owing to a Regiect Of w recurrence to \hsee writers, that there was to many wild theories now aflxat—which theories he would call nothing but democracy run mad. (Laughter.) Gen, Cacs—Pcogreesive, probably. Mr Yuuee progressive so muob, that it bes gone wild aad be li reason. Mr Yuee then eon- tended that the territory was the property of ail the States, and Corgress was the sgent or trustee of all the States, of Virginia as well as New York; and this trustee could n tallow privileges to the property o tbe citiz-ns of one State, and not to that of those of avother. The constitution recogiized this property, d sanctioned it by its spproval. The constitution ot the law for one State, but of the whole, and being the law for the whol of the States, their property in siaves, and it was not in the power of any State, nor of Con- gress, to interfere with, or obstruct theright of proy iy im any citizen. The territory of the United States being the property of the Union, the citizen of the Southern State who goes upon it, @ right to carry his slaye—his property, there, as well as any other citizen—and there is no constitutional power to interfere with him or his rights of property. The peo- ple of this country were all of one common body, nd of equal importance, in the spirit constitution. They were im the aggregate one corporation, and each member was entitled to equal privileges. The supreme power had a right to make all necessary and needful rules; but th jaws and rules must be equal in their operation, not p: For instance, a corporation who owns forest may provide that it shall not be used by its mem- bers, or that it may be used in part by ite members, or it may assign to esch a portion of it, according to his wants; but it has no power to give the same to the use of any portion of its members, to the exclusion or denial of the others This was parallel case with the one now before the Senate. The supreme authority had no pow- law which would excludes citizen of one State from an equal participation in the common pro- perty of the Union, while it granted the right uorestrict- to others. Mr Y, said thut it would be necessary for him to refer to the statement he had made in regard to the position wiich he defined as the one in which the people inhabiting the territory of the United States bad been assigned; but ime had expired he weuld yield to the order of the day, hoping the resolutions would be informally passed over. Tue Vick Presipent—The bill to provide — Mr. Dicxixsox— Will the Senator from Fiorida, before the army bill is takem up, please answer me this ques tion? Suppose Canada were to be annexed to this Union, as territory, by the consent of the two govern- ments, and remain as the territory of the United Stater. would the institution of slavery exist in that territory ’? Mr. Yutee—That can be answei ir. Mr. Dicxinson—I know it can, that’s why I ask it. Mr. Yutee —If Canada be annexed to this Union as a State, then the sovereignty would remain the State But if it be annexed as territory of the United States, then, sir, any man, from any section of the Union, can go there. enter upon the land, take his elaves there, his wife, bis child: nd all his property, and there is n: power there to deprive him of them, or to deay his right to hoid them, or any other right held sacred and guaran- teed by the constitution Mr. Dickixson—Ove more question, sir. Supposing Canada to be sanexed as territory, would there be any fap A a to aboiish slavery before her admission os r t Mr Yutee—No, sir. There is no power in the people fobabiting the territory of the United States, to pass any totake away a man’s title to the property re- raised in him by the Constitution r. Cass—I hope, sir, this debate will stop here The Senatorfrom Vermont has the floor, and | hope he will be allowed to proceed | hope the Senator from Ver- mont will go on with his remerks. Mr. Foote presented the credentials of his colleague, Mr. Davis, Senator elect from the State of Mississippi, which were read. Several Senators presented petitions, after which, was taken up THE TEN REGIMENT BILL Mr. Urxam said, that at this late stage of the debate, there was but little that could be said upon it that hed not siready been expressed. Almost every topic con- nected with the war had been discussed, and there was little that he could re than to express his reasons for the vote he rt With an army of 60.000 men in the field, undeftggisting laws, hewould be compelied to vote against the DAH now before us, as the force it was designed to raise wastotally unnecessary. This increase of the army, if carried out to the extent of the execu- tive recommendation, was most dangerous to our ineti- tutions, and he greatly feared would lead to their over. throw. The speeoh of the chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, leid down the principle that it might be necessary for us to take the whole of Mexico, us an indemnity for the war, to the destruction of the na- tionality of that repul Weaill condemued and exe- crated the conduct of Austria and Russia in the dis- memberment of Poland; yet the gentleman at the head of our military #ffairs, recommends and advancen a doc- trine which is the seme in effect, and the same in prin- pla a Foore—(To Gen, Cass, sotto voce.) —Did you say Mr Cass—Oh, let him go on.

But be hed und ratood the ome. to say, that if this war was prolonge: nd for part of our same thing had taken hold of the ite mind He sew itevery day in the newspay fa the speeches at public meetii Mr U. read speeches of Major Morgan, of Onio,Com. Stockton, and several toasts de- livered at dinners, all tending to idea of the conquest He then devounced the war as uncon- repel invasion; not to wage war. This war being gun by the President. for tae purpose of invading the country of a foe, was unconstitutional. It was a war of invasion ; a war upon the freedom of the press and the liberty of speech ; and, as such, was expressly denouno- ed aad probibited by the Constitution of the United States. He then descanted, at length, upon the ben fit and sacred character of the liberty of speech and ¢! freedom of the press ; and said that, afcer an ex- amination cf the reports of the Secretary of War and the Adjutant General, he was satisfied there were troops enough already in Mexico, Mr Urwas alluded to the nature and character of the war, which he denounced as uojust and unnecessary; and said he feared not the stigma that had been at- tempted to be thrown upon those who opposed it, for he preferred to stand by the countryrather than the admi- nistratior It was treason to refuse aid to the country, but he deemed the administration and the cou an very different. In answer tothe assertion that we had proffered peace to Mexico, and she had refused it, he said the flag of peace was presented to her at her gates, but it was orimsoned by the blood of her murdered wom: id childrea. It was never toc on such & war as that he voted,on the 13th of May, for the bill of that date. The documents attending ths message of that dey were not printed, and they voted men and money wit - out apy positive evidence of the existence of war, but merely to strengthen the force under General Tay- lor. He and his friends had remonstrated againat the preamble to that act, because they haa no evidence that the war did exist by the act of Mexico. They endeavor- ed to have that preamble stricken out, but failed; the friends of the President insisting uponits being retained He never voted for the preambie, he—could not Mr Cuavron said that as this subject had been re- Peatedly referred to by Senators,as a committal of the members on this (whig) side ef the chamber in favor of the war, he would state briefly the ciroumstanoesattend- | Crnormmatt, Feb. 11, 1848. Judge McLean’s Letter—Interrogatories—Cin- cinnati Firemen—“ Burnet House.” The National Intelligencer, it appears, has been authorized to say, “that Judge McLean never wrote a letter to Mr. Polk, or to any one else, approving the Mexican war.” That article has been copied, under the head of ‘A Flat Denial,” into most of the eastern and western papers, with the exception, I believe, of the Cincinnati Ga- zette, the organ of the” McLean party. Why, it may be asked, in view of this fact, does the Ga- zette maintain so strict a silence? Is it because “silence is pleasing to the muses ?” one of the editors of that paper, Mr. Gallagher, being a courtier of the musical Nine! Or is it becaus the editors, in the assumed dignity of their posi tion, cannot descend to notice an “ anonymous letter-writer?’ Believe me, sir, itis neither the one nor the other. The editors of the Ga- zette know that Judge McLean did write a letter to Mr. Polk, as I asserted; and that if its con- tents are not stated by me in the precise terms used by his “honor,” yet, they are substantially iven. %, The “ official denial,” which, I take it, came from Judge McLean himself, is an admirable specimen of special pleading. It does not an- awer the main charge contained in my letter. It says nothing about General Scott or General Worth, but sunpty denies, in Sse terms, that he ever wrote a [etter to Mr. ‘olk, approving of the Mexican war. Such were not the terms of my charge. I said that he wrote a letter atthe commencement of hostilities, approving of the President’s ‘‘ war policy ’—ot his treatment of General Scott, and expressing his regret that the resignation of General Worth had not been accepted. The whole is contained in a single sentence, and has reference only to the policy the President was then pursuing in reference to the war, the prominent feature of which seemed to be the man- ufacture of political capital, by superseding old and faithful officers in the army, and appoint- ing party favorites in their places. {will now put my charges in the form of interrogatories, and if they are not true, it will be an easy task for the ‘friends of the judge to disprove them. Ist, Did he not write aletter to Mr. Polk, solicit- ing a place at West Point for his grandson, John McLean Taylor? 2d, Did he not append to that letter a postscript, in which he expressed his gratification that the “‘insolence” of General ing the passage of this bill. T’nat act came before us, and the Senators on this side of the chamber objected t: the preamble, but they were voted down. They under- stood, therefore, in voting for the bill. that they merely voted the supplies, and not the preamble. This subject had been alluded to with so much injustice, that he ened this explanation would prevent that injustice again. ‘Mr. Uruam then turned to the President's message of last session, ia which motives of conquest were denied, sod upon that declaration he had voted for the bil of last session. Moreover, the Senators on his side of the chamber, to make the matter more sure, had all voted t of the Senator from Georgia, in ‘was declared to be no object of the war it was voted down, however, by the friends of the President. The war being now openly declared to be destined to result in the conquest of more or less of tha territory of Mexi his fe and he would not give a vote for anything which would tend to enable him to carry out those dishonorable ob- jeots. with ali its consequences, all the blood sure which had been expended, be charged, and he charged it. upon the Presi his party. As the Senator from Illinois yesterday fa- vored the Senate with extracts from sermons and news- B' 12 and this war, he would, he hoped, be pardoned for reading a few extracts ‘rom certain democratic newspapers, which had denounced the very sct which had led to the immediate cause of war—the annexation of Texas. Mr. U. then read a num- ber of extracts from democratic papers, opposing the annexation of Texas, and repudisting it as ao anti-de- mocratio doctrine. He then alluded to the fact of se. veral Senators who had voted against the treaty, bul who (Mr Polk being in Washiagton) voted for these resolutions. He did not charge, nor intimate, that here was aay undue cause for a change of opinions, for that was common among politiciacs. but he merely stated thefact The Senator from Alabama (Vir Bagby) mad speech agaiast the resolutions, but atterwards voted for them. Mr. Baosr said be ot cousider the Senator from Vermont intended to epresent him, but #s this mst- ter had been juently alinded to. he would now teke occasion to set the matter right Oa that cocasion he said, as he egain said now, that he could not, nor never would vote for the resolutions of annexation, as they came from the House of Representatives. They were afterwards amended, and he voted for them. Mr Urnast disclaimed any inteation to misrepresent the Senator He then referred to the action «f the Pr eident in relation to the annexstion of Texas, and hi ‘approval ofall that had been done. The President came toto power with @ desirs to render his administ glorious one. For this purpose he declared our Oregon to be clear ani unquestionable, up to 64 40; but the enemy there was England, and the President made, shat bis western friends stigmatised as an ingiorious re- treat But im regerd to poor weak Mexico—a foros was rent down there, ae would not sey positively, but it looked very muoh like it. for the purpose of provoking @ war which would justify him in seiziag upon Callroruia. He ordered Gen Taylor to Corpus Christi, where ne re- mained for Ove months In the meantime o messenger, Mir Slidell, was sent to Mexico; and the President, ia his message to us, says :—that anticipating an invasion of Texas, and the rejection of Mr. Slidell, he ordere) Gen Taylor tothe Rio Grande From this 1t was evi- dent to him that the President iatended to provoke a war. Gen. Taylor had said to the President, that if the Rio Grande was the ultimatum of the President, in re- gard to the boundary of Texas, then the sooner Ld sion was taken the better. Ihe President, in his order of the 15th of June, 45. bad informed Gen Taylor that his destination was the Rio Grande. Mr. Sevier said the order of the 15th of June, was that Gen. Taylor should remain on the Sabine till he was informed by our minister in Texas, of the accept- ance of the terms of annexation. Mr. Urnam—I think not, sir. Mr. Sxvien—I will state the purport of the order. Ma. Urwam—I havo it in my band, sir. Mr. Sevien—Very well, sir. Mr. Uraam then read a portion of the order, which stated that your (General Taylor's) ultimate destination is the Rio Grande. Mr. Seviex—Will the Senator send me the document? It was done, and Mr. Sevier read that portion which tells the General that he will prepare to go to Texas, and to land at some place on the gulf, but prohibitshim from landing on the coast of. Texas, before he shall be informed by our minister that Texas had accepted our terms ofannexation. And also that he was to remain on the Sabine, or some other navigable stream, till thet time; which General Taylor did for some four or five months. Mr. Urnam said, that any how, the President had said that the Rio Grande was to be the ultimate destination of General Taylor. And he then read a long reries cf sathorities to prove the Nueces was the bouudary of Texas, and not the Rio Grande. And he further said, that he would prove, by the act of Texas herself, that shenever claimed the Rio Grande In proof of which, would read an ment, made by Texas, to protect republic on th io Grande. isting of the people residing between the Nueces and the Rio Grande—and he understood the Senator from Texas, (Mr. Rusk,) ad- mitted it to be correct Mr. Rusk—Admitted ! What is it? never heard anything of the kind. And he asked the Senator when aad where the paper was signed—ite date, and who signed it ? Mr. Urxam said that he could not answer either ques- tea, Hi eumed it was made with Canales. Rut id that no agreement ever was made with Canales, or any body, of the kind alluded to. Canales was co! there as a public highway robber. He had often attempted to raise iosurrections in Texas, as did other Mexican officers, but he slways kept om the other side of the Rio Grande. ‘Mr. Uriam said it was part of the history of Toxes Mr Rusx said, if it was, it was @ part of history that never had reached Texas Mr. Urnam farther pursued the subject of Texan boundary, snd contended that Texas had not the she- dow of title beyond the Nueces. He said, if we pursue this war it will result in the fact that we will have to erect a government in Mexioo, and protect it. And who: ever was living twenty years fcom new, would seo an American army in Mexioo, keeping the peace we shall have conquered. He scouted conquest as destructive of every nation that had pursued it, aud predicted the ruin of our country if we continued it, or supported the President in this, the first attempt of the kind He eulo gized the effects of peace, and contrasted them with the evils resulting from war. Mr Rvs« obtained the floor, and on his motion the Senate adjourned. Bartinorg, Feb. 16, 1848. Governor's Appointments—The Ice Trade, §c. The new appointments of city officers by Gov. Thomas are expected to-day, and our city is in quite a buzz of excitement in consequenee, there being about twenty-five expectants for each and every office in his gift. If rumor speaks rightly, he has adhered to the old plan of stuffing the fat- ted sow, and letting the lank ones go with empty bellies. Most of those who are said to have met with executive favor, are those who make office- peter tavern brawling, and stump speaking, or candle holding at public meetings their business. However, “‘to the victors belong the spoils,” and the candle holders must be rewarded in prefer- ence to those who stand holding their hands in their pockets. As to qualifications, that isa se condary thought in making up a list of appoint- ments at the present day. The weather is too warm for ice, and our ice- houses, it is now almost certain, will be empty Il next summer. The supply at the north is al- so said to be small, so that large prices may be anticipated. The canal boats in Penusylvania are Hct | with ice, on toe Susquehanna, and offer to deliver it here in the spring, at $2 per ton. ‘yt he Aman in Euclid, Ohio, was, some time since, wend expeote to go mad hitaself; te in advance Fr ad =| — race. He thirty doge, he ‘subbority of the Aagees Scott had been “rebuked” by the administration, and declared that, in his opinion, it would have been better for the country had the resignation of Gen. Worth been accepted? 3d, Did he not show this letter to Nathan Guilford, Esq., late editor of the Cincinnati Atlas, and other friends, who thought it an imprudent one, and advised him not to transmit itto the President? And, finally, 1 ask, was not this an implied, if nota positive approval of the ‘* war policy” ‘Mr. Polk was then pursuing? If these things are false, let the friends of Judge McLean produce the letter entire, which can readily be done, unless he has appended to ita request like that at the conclu- sion ot his native American letter to Jesse Mann, of Boston—Show this to your friends, but owing to my position on the Supreme Bench, Ido not wish it published. It must not be thought that Iam an enemy to Judge McLean. Far from it. I admire many of his sterling qualities of heart; but when he so far forgets the high position he occupies, as to destin to the dirty pool of party intrigue, I do not regard it as a departure from common courtesy, to expose some of his political querli- cues, The fire companies of this city are an honor to the West. A braver band of men never lived, and one, too, more ready to protect the property and lives of their fellow men.— They are harmonious in_ action—no riots, like those which disgrace Philadelphia, having ever occurred among them. They have recently adopted a policy, which deserves to be followed and commended every where." It is the purchase of well selected libraries for their halls, thus affording rational and instructive entertainment for the the members when they assemble in the evening. Some have even gone farther than this, and subsoribed largely to the Western Art Union There is refinement, as well as courage, among the Cincinnati firemen. Mr. A. B. Coleman, formerly of the Astor House, who has been engaged here for some time in his great hotel Project has at length been crowned with success. Nearly all the stock has been taken, and the work is to be commenced in afew-days. Mr. Coleman isa man of energy and industry, and I doubt not that the new hotei —the **Burnet House,” will be a magnificent edifice. It is very much to be doubted, however, whether Mr. Coleman has been fortunate in the selection of aname for his great house, There 18 something in a name, notwithstanding the great dramatist has said otherwise, and] am decidedly of the opinion, that more than one hundred could have been chosen, more popular in the West than that of ‘‘ Burnet.” WESTERN. Parapgtrnia, Feb. 15, 1848. Preparations for Mr. Clay—Burglary—Forgery The whigs hold a meeting to-morrow evening at their reading room, to make preparations for the reception of Harry of the West, who is ex- pected here in the course of next week, to so- journ among us for eight or ten days. Can it be possible that this visit is intended to infuse a portion of the Clay leaven into the whig masses of this community, preparatory to the national convention soon to be held among us ? The bold band of burglars that have recently put at defiance the exertions of our police to de- tect them, last night perpetrated another daring act,in entering the premises of Mr. Geo. Dallam No. 3 North Ninth street. They carried off all the silver they could find, a fine cloth cloak and some eatables, including a quantity of fiour that had been prepared so as to baked in the morning. A young man of hi h respectability, charged with the perpetration of a forgery, was accom- modated with a private hearing before the Mayor esterday, and the affair, itis said, has been heahed up; the goods purchased with the fraudu- lent paper having been restored tothe proper owners. ‘adhe War.

Pe rs with the advice consent of master at Galveston, for four years from the 12th of January, 1848 In the Austin Democrat of the 26th ult. we find the Indian intelligence :— Major R. 8 Neighbors, 8; Indian Agent, arrived in town on Sunday from Torrey’s trading house. To bim we are indebted for the following information in re- lation to the movements of the various Indian tribes on our frovtier. The In with whom we are in , are all fr'endly. On the lst of January, Mo-pe-cho-co- ple, one of the Camanche chiefs, brought to the trading house six of the horses stolen from Captain Sutton’s ranging company. He was so much alarmed by the depredation committed by bis people that he left with great precipi- tance. Major Neighbors immediately proceeded to the Camanche country, but did not come up with the Ca- ae they having moved high up in the Grand ie. Jack Harry, a Delaware chief, arrived at the tradin, house on the 20th, direct from the Camanche camp, an: Mojor N. received the “Talks” of the friendly Caman- ohe chiefs by him. They inform him that the theft on the San Antonio road was committed by the Ten-a- wish” band of Camanuches. As soon as the friendly chiefs learned that the depredation was committed, they followed the thieving band, and recovered all the stolen horses, and he: 6 balance in their camp, ready to give 3B. They say they are determined to abide by the yalations of their treaty. ‘There is at t avery large party of the prairie Indians assembled on the head waters of the Brazos, consisting of all the upper bands of Camanches, Kio- way! -pa rith-kes, Mus Ke-le-ros, ko. They are now organizing for a campaign in the northern provinces of Mexico, Chihushua, &c. They proseee to throw several thousand warriors into that country. Major Fila pei eould hear nothing of the diffloulties between the Camanches and Delawares, recently mentioned by some of the papers in other parts of the State. All the Indian tribes were perfectly quiet—no difficulties exist- ing either amongst the: \vesor hostile demonstrations egsinst the whites. Our rangers are now very active and efficient, and there is no probability of any distur- bance, unlees it is created by some unauthorized move- ment of our own eltizens.
