Biber, fancy knit One of the most interesting events, during the past year, has been the establishment of « workshop in con- jeetion with this institution. The object of this esta- Dlishment is to place within reach of the industrious blind. of both sexes, the means of earning their own support. and, at the same time, to furnish, to such as may desire it, a comfortable home, 1: has been abun- emonstrated, by the experience of ail institu- tions similar to this, that, as a means of support, me- chanical pursuits of some kind afford the surest reli: ance. But such pursuits cannot be successfully pros outed by the blind, against the competition of the se ing. without the aid of the same appliances which con- tribute to the profits of theirmore favored competitors, ‘These are the advantages of associated labor, of capi tal, and. in addition. of a workshop furnished with tools and fixtures adapted to the peculiar wants of the blind, These facilities Me ty designed toaftors in the eatatiiatt! ment of this supplemental department to the institu- It will be emphatically a home for the indust lind, where they will be furnished with constant employment, the profits of which will be divided among tionally to the assiduity and skill of each, ystem of education, as pursued at this institu- tion, is threefold, embracing (except the classics), the ordinary branches pursued in our schools and acade- mies; such an attention to music, both vocal and in- strumantal, as shall enable those of suflicient talent to rely upon it, to some extent, as a means of future support. and the acquisition of a trade, The school or literary department is conducted by a principal male and afemale teacher, and two assistant teachers, Half the pupils attend school in the morning, und the other half in the afternoon, and cach school session is divided into four recitations of three-quarters of an hour each, About twenty-five pupils constitute a class. At the close of each exercise, the pupil changes his room and teacher, and, in the middie of each session, an inter mission of ten or fifteen minutes is allowed. In the evening, all the pupils assemble in the chapel for one hour, to listen to misccllancous reading. In the ac- quisition of knowledge by the blind. and the develo} ment of their intellectual facultics, the senses of fecl- ing and hearing are substituted for the sense of sight In imparting instructions to them,the oral system,which in many respects possestes advantages, is mainly pur- sued. ‘The want of books has bitherto made it n to adopt this method in some branches wh of text books would no doubt have te ate the progress of the pupil. In arithmetic expec this want has been felt, and it is believed th tion of a work on this subject in raised letters, now nearly completed. will be found materially to lighten the labors of the teacher. Books in raised letters which are read by the blind with their fingers ; maps with the principal features of the various divisions of the globe in relief; cyphering frames with movable types or characters for arithmetic and algebra ; geo- mictrical diagrams in raised lines, &e., constitute the ehicf apphances that are peculiar to the instruction of the blind. By the aid of these, with the increased owers of attention, perception and memory which the Bima possess, they are enabled to make attainments in at knowledge. which were Practicable at the exhibition of yesteriay we will now speak us fully as our limite permit. While the audience were assembling, & yoluntary on the organ was executed in fine style. by Mr. Edwund Kaniski, a pupil, Then came an introduction by the band, consisting of pupils; and an excellent introduc tion it was. A prayer, a few remarks by one of the officers, and an anthem, “ Blessed be the Lord,” sung in fine style, and with really thrilling effect. Next ame specimens of reading. by a splendid little fellow, whose voice filled the house. More music follow- ed; and then came examinations in astronomy, in ‘ography. in arithmetic. in natural philosophy. and history; the result of all of which was in the highest degree sutisfactory. Miss Cynthia Bulloch, a very in- teresting young lady, one of the pupils, delivered a poetic address of great merit. Altogether, the exhibition was singularly pleasing and gratifying. One sentiment seemed to pervade the wh le vexi assemblage—that of devout thankfulness to Heaven for the success of the skill and labor of those Philo nthroy ic men and women who have been enabled to do 0 much for the moral. inteilectual, and physical welfare of those of our fellow beings who labor under ruch a ead calamity as the loss of sight. Most cordially do we unite in this feeling, and bid God speed to this glorions Institution which at first would seeim iinpossibl abundantly demonstrated to be quite and of them dspace will American Home Misslonary Soclety. ‘The twenty-third anniversary of this Society took place at the Broadway Tabernacle, last evening. The meeting was announced for halfpast seven o'clock: and long before that time had arrived, a large number of ladies and gentlemen had taken seats in the house, and when the time arrived for the commencement of the exercises, the whole house was filled, with the ex- ception of afew seats under the galleries; and even these were, for the most part, filled a short time after- wards, ‘The President of the Society, Hexay Dwicnt, Esq. aseumed the chair at about twenty minutes to eight and the exercises were opened by a voluntary on the organ. Next in order was a prayer by the Rey. Dr. Pisxcr, ef Hudson, Ohio. The Treasurer's report was next presented in ab street, by Jasper Corning. Esq. treasurer. From thi abstract it appears that the balance inthe treasury March 1. 1818, was $1,246 55. The receipts of twelve months following. $145,025 #1, making the resourses 0 172 46. ‘There was due to the mission aries. at the date of the last report. the sum of $9.635 06. There has since become due the further sum of $144,281 21; making the total of liabilities, $153,516 27. Of thie last’ mentioned sum, $145.77] 67 have been paid The remainder—$10,044 60—is still duc to missionaries for labor performed, Towards cancelling these claims and redeeming the additional pledges on commissions which have not expired—amounting in all to $61,340 33 —there is a balance in the treasury of $3.649 00. The receipts of the year exceed those of the last by $5.728 81, The number of missionaries is thirteen fieater. Sixty-three congregations more have been leseed with the preaching of the Gosp more fazed te the churches; and 6.500 more instructed in Babbath schools.

Milton Badger, D. D., one of the secretaries of the society. This statement rhows that the society has had in its service the last year. 1.019 ministers of the gospel, in 26 different States and territories ;—in the New England States, $02: the middle States, 239; the Southern Yates, 15; the West- ern States and territories, 463. Of these, 608 have been the pastors or stated supplies of single congregations; and 321 have occupied larger fields. Eight have reached to congregations of colored people. 13 to Velsh,and 25 to German congregations; and two to congregations of Norwegians—one of them through an interpreter. The number of congregations supplied, in | whole or in part. is 1.510; and the agregate of ministe- rial service performed, is equal to 808 years. The pu- Pils in Sabbath schoels amount te nearly 3.500; and subseribers to the temperance pledge to 105.000. There have been added to the churches, 6.550, viz : 2.706, by Profession; 2844. by letter. Sixty-five inissionaries. in | their recent communications, speak of revivals of reli- gion. and report 1,194 hopeful conversions. Three of the Vice Presidents of the Society—Ion. Charles Marsh, LL.D., Hon, David L. Morrill. LL.D and Rey, Eliphalec Gillett, D.D.—have died within the year. In twenty-three years, the Society has been the means of planting the gospel on all the great lines of emigration and trade in the West, and also at hun- dreds of important interior points Immigration is fast increasing the amount of this work and multiplying its difficulties prospect now is, that the immigrants from abroad, in 1849, will | average 1,000 every day, throughout the year. ‘These | might. at once, settle five new States, with a popula- ion sufficient to entitle them to admission as States to he Union, and to elect five representatives and ten ebators to Congress While there facts call for a far greater activity of home mirricns on our former field, we have new trusts Sommitted to us on the South and West.

Concerning this missionary work, he said, the parent stock was the domestic missions, He alluded to the means possessed now, in comparison with the facilities which Paul had, in his time, for multiplying and pro- mulgating copies of such works as it was desirable to distribute abroad in the great apostle’s day. The tardy work of transcribing, in the first place, and the limited ineans of conveyance, in the next, were happily compared by the reverend gentleman with ‘the steam printing and steam — travelling of the present day. The mode pursued by this society is the cheapest mode of evangelizing the West. The expense of the home missionaries in the West will not average more than $166 each. ‘Ihis year they have averaged $178, but that was in consequence of the increased amount necessarily expended in fitting out and sending missionaries to alifornia, The speaker alluded, in an cloquent and ‘gant manner, to the Westward progress of Chris- tianity ever since the days of Paul—tirst to Italy, then to Spain, and to England and Atlantic America, thence to the Pacific coast. ‘I'he speaker was applauded at the close of his remarks, Next came another anthem, “ When the Lord shall build up Zion,” by the choir. The following resolution was offered by Rey. R. 8. Sronns. Jr., of Brooklyn :— Resolved, That the work of establishing throughout our country an evangelical ministry, is now the grand work for the world’s conversion, and should be prose- cuted with an enthusiasm corresponding to its magni- tude. Mr. Sronns spoke with great ardor to this resolution, and when he had concluded, he received three distinct rounds of applause. It was next moved by Rey. Joscru C, Stiues, of New York :— Resolved, That the sublimity of the missionary work, at the present time, especially in our own land, should inspire the people of God with greater faith and self- devotion for its advancement. Mr. Srizes spoke to this re which were not only appropriate, but extremely happy in their adaptation to the subject. At the close of his speech, the congregation joined the choir in singing three verses of the hymn commencing with— “ Zion—thrice happy plac ‘Adorned with wondrous grace.” A benediction was then pronounced, and the vast as- semblage left the Tabernacle, »lution in some remarks Anniversary of the Society for the Conver- sion of the Jews, and Evangelization of Israel, A highly interesting meoting was held last evening? at the Dutch Church in Broome street, corner of Green, to celebrate the anniversary of the above religious in- stitution, and receive the report of the Board of Managers. At about eight o'clock, the chair was taken by Dr Dr Wirr, of the Dutch Reformed Church of this city} whereupon, at the request of the chairman, who called upon the Doctor for that purpose, a suitable prayer to the ocension was offered up by Dr, McLeod. Mr. Tuomeson, the Secretary of the Society, then read the report of the Board of Directors, giving an ac- count of the procecdings of the socicty. A very en- cournging and flattering account wasgivenin this report of the state and condition ot the society; the result of his labors, and its various proceedings and prospects, By the account of the expenditures, it appeared that the contributions received by the secretary, for the purpos object of its labors, amounted to,the sum of 3,000 and some odd dollars, which sum the “expendi- ture of the society exactly equalled within a few dollars. ‘The report contained much reasoning, and many _ar- guments, pertinent to the views of the society, and in reply to the objections which might be alleged against its action; as also an urgent appeal and representation of the high duty and responsibility which rested upon the community to further the praiseworthy objects of its institution. No account, it is true, was given of any practical results from the operations and labors of the society, but hopes of a strong character were held out of the benefits to be derived from specific action of the eociety. ‘Thereport having been concluded, the Chairman introduced te the company present, Mr, Sheinkopf, a gentleanan of German origin, and a Jew by birth, who, having become a convert to Christianity, is now pre- paring for the ministry in one of the Christian col- leges, Mr. Suvixxorr moved the adoption of the report which had just been read, and which was unanimously approved. Mr. Suvixxorr then offered the following reso- lution:— Resolved, That the present time is a time peculiarly favorable for the conversion of the Jews, and that the secm tobe the people peculiarly signed by Providence to take the lead in evangelizing the J Mr. S. then proceeded to enlarge upon the subject inatter of the above resolution, which he did in an ex- ceedingly clear, able, distinct, and forcible manner, He took a view of the revolutions passing in Europe, and which had shaken the nations; and argued that the present time presented high hopes for the conver- sion and evangelization of the Jews. They had been before laboring under great prejudices, from the ill- treatment they had received from Christians; but now those prejudices were fast being removed, by the liberty and freedom extended to them, asa result of the late political agitations and revolutions. These reyolu- tions, which opencd the doors of freedom to the Jews, also thereby tended to remove their prejudices. Mr. 8. ulso observed that another clement, which was favor- ably operating towards the prospect of the evangeliza- tion of the Jews, was the universal dissatisfaction which now prevailed among them against Judaism and the traditions of the Talmud gencrally. They had become quite dissatisfied, and convinced that it was vain for them to look for a Messiah to come, auch as the Tal- mudists represented to them—a mere human being, like Moses or some other great man. Mr. 8. concluded an able and eloquent address by a powerful appeal to the meeting on. the behalf of the gociety and the objects which it is intended to promote. ‘The Chairman then introduced Mr. Tromrsoy to the meeting, a preacher of this city, who proceeded to a dress the assembly upon the interesting subject be them. Mr. Thompson first spoke of the prejudices en- tertained against the Jews, derived from reading about them in improper sources, as Fagans, Shylocks, Isuace, and other trading characters, inst reading and romembering what they were, as represented in the Bible. rT. then adverted to the question of the prophecies, He did not think ft necessary that Chri tians should think alike upon those matters, Yet he thought it necessary that they should all work and act in coucert to promote the welfare, the happinees, and the evangelization of the Jews. Mr. T. then elabo- | the faith of Christ; but they pointed out the way and manner in which izht to be proceeded with to work this conversion, in the face of the prejudice and opposition to be en- countered. Mr. 1, having concluded an able and in- teresting address, the chairman introduced Dr, Bacon, of New Jlaven, who proceeded to address the assembt, a brief apology for the state of non- prepartion, in which, from the suddenness of his being called upon, he stood before them, then entered into a nteresting disquisition upon the singular pheno- n ef the uninterrupted and ever preserved nation- ality Jewish p isa visible miracl not to be denied, but ¢ e the eyes of all the world and in all parts o! \d. It has happened to no other p who ever existed. Where are the descendants of Nimred? Where fre the nations and kingdoms which sprung from him gnd his descendants ? Where are the As*yrians? Where are the Babylo- nians? Where are the Pgyptians? Where are the Grecks and Romans ? of these ancient peop! ved their national existence and nationality like the Jews, From all this, Dr. B. said it) was as- suredly to be gathered and concluded, that God, who 1 derfully preserved the Jewish people, pu: po still by them to accomplish « wonderful work, and to wake his power and his grace known by them throughout the world. Dr. B. then proceeded to show, ina highly interesting manner, the nt position and situation of the Jews, in reference to their faith and dectrine. If they followed the doctrsac of the Bible, even of the Old tament alone, there would be no fear of their not being converted to her follow nor give led by traditions, wnce and su eur to the Word of God; they ar and are consequently plunged in ig stition, In this respect, they are to the Old ment an exaet counter of what the Roman Catholies are te the New iment. The Romanists neither followed nor gave ear to the Word of God. bat they ure enslaved by traditions Thus, with both of thein, they are both equally hostile to the truth, be cause they equally are hostile to the Word of God, and follow the traditions of men Dr. Bacon proceeded further to enlarge upon this in- teresting topic, in a happy manner; when, having con- cluded. the Presi: t of the meeting called upon the assembly to reeeive a benediction, which having been delivered, th cluded. xercises of the evening were and progress of com- mercial intereourse. result in multiplying our con. neetions and increasing our ivfuence abroad, From such facts, it is manifest that home missions no longer refer to a few hundred thousands on our frontier, hat | in their bearings, become in fect, and ona grand = mitsions to all mavkind, and rh responding degree of interest an ‘The next exercise was an anthem, “ilow fe ‘upon the Mountains.” by the choir of the 1 consisting of about forty-five singers, accompanied by | the organ | ‘The rerolutions being next in order, the Rey.

The Offces—The Catalogue of the Day—Evening Observations on Prospective Cases. In the two official papers there is a formidable catalogue of appointments promulgated to-day. Mr. Ewing has made a bold demonstration, espe. cially among the poor locofoco land registers and receivers of the ‘ Rackensack.” ‘The outside State of Arkansas has had the benefit of every other reasonable expedient for her political con- version, without avail. The Smithsonian fuad was lent to her, all in British gold, and though that act was done by the democracy, the whigs hoped it would enable her banks to enlighten the people, but it failed; and the State of Arkansas has never even paid up the interest on these bonds. Old Tip’s nomination, and old Zack’s nomination, failed to shake her. Still she has been demo- cratic outright, and flat-footed. Mr. Ewin: thinks he has discovered the secret, the open se same, that is to redeem Arkansas. He thinks it is in the sinews of war ; and he sets to work to purge out locofocoism trom the Rackensack, by weed- ing out those obnoxious heretics from the land of- fices. It will give the whigs a foothold in the State, and encourage them to work hke trench- diggers at, the next election. The soothing sys- tem failed in Virginia, and severe purging, accord- ing to the diagnosis of Dr. Brandreth, is to be tried with Arkansas. We are afraid, however, she is too far gone for recovery, though it will be delight- ful to the whig missionaries of that region to taste those precious drops of the oil of consolation from the horn of plenty, vouchsafed trom the home de- rartment—And who’s afraid? Father Ritchie has een taunting the organs, that in publishing the ap- poitments, they don’t publish the removals ; and just to please the padre, they came out this morn- ‘ing: after the following fashion :— **William KE. Powell, of Arkansas, to be Re- gister of the Land office at Champagaole, Ar- kangas, 1n the place of Hiram Smith, removed.” Now, whether Mr. Smith, and the rest of the list whigs or democrats, we leave to Father Ritchie to discover, We suppose that Mr. Ewing is pretty well satisfied upon that point. sfaras canbe determined from this column of appointnents, it is manifest, that a pretty tho- rough cleadaing of theipablic oficesaver the Union of their democratic materials, is to be the policy of the administration—that it 1s to throw itself up- on the whig party for support, and that the extra- neous elements of all other parties uniting with the whigs in the election of °48, are to be cast aside, or, in other words, the whig party proper, and ex- clusively, is to be relied upon as the only. reliable support of thé administration. A ‘This decision, however, is not yet definitely pro- nounced or understood. Gen. Taylor, on the con- trary, is understood to be standing in opposition, from day to day, in his cabinet, to an ultra policy of rotation. ‘The list of appointments expected to- morrow, may throw some further light upon it. Hon. ‘George P. Marsh is a candidate for the mission to Berlin, in the place of Mr. Hannegan, who is to return ina month or two, making the trip, we suppose, merely to pocket the outfit of $9,C00 and the infit of $4,500. If the administi tion has consented to any accommodation of this sort, (and our information is from a good whi office-seeker,) we should like to know why, an upon what authority or excuse. Our own impres- sion is, that there was no understanding on the subject. The whigs of the Senate ratified Mr. Hannegan’s nomination—the cabinet and General Taylor could not get over it. They were compelled, in deference to the whigs of the Senate, to say nothing of the democrats, to con- cur, and send Mr. Hannegan on his mission. But as the whole list of our Ministers abroad is to_be overhauled in June, or about the first of July, Mr. Hannegan may reasonably expect to be superseded, without interfering in the main object of Mr. Polk. in the nomination, of affording him the means of replemshing his, exhausted finances. In this im- portant view, his recull will be a positive advan- tage to him, giving him the fullest benefits of his perquisites, without exhausting them to any serious degree by detention ata foreign court. The long protracted agony over te New York andEbiladelaits collecibrahips 16 expected. to be closed to-morrow, by a chcice from the candidates for each port. Hugh Maxwell is confidently and confidentially reported to be the man for New York ; and Sken Smith is said to have had a post of EM competitors at work, to-day, against him. When these cases are disposed of, the residuum will be a work of easy accomplishment. Ww. Our Baltimore Correspondence.

The Special Court of Oyer and Terminer for the Trial of Dr. Hardenbrook—Application for his Final Discharge—The Trial put over for the Next Term—The Prisoner in Court, &c., c. As I wrote you this morning, that the long con- tested trial of Dr. John K. Hardenbrook was about to come off this afternoon, long before the hour arrived, the court-house was quite crowded with spectators, and a large number of jurors that had been summoned to attend this “special term.” About {half-past 2 o’clock, Judge Wells and his associates, together with the counsel upon both sides, arrived. ‘The court wasthen organized, and Col. Charles, the crier of the court, then proceeded to call the names of the grand and petit jurors, and out of sixty that had been summoned to appear, abeut forty of them answered to their names; when the District Attorney arose and addressed the court, saying that, in consequence of the short no- tice that he had received of this special term, some informality had occurred in_ his preparation for the trial, and ‘also, that an important witness was out of the State, and he could not safely proceed to trial at this term, After which, the judge dis- charged the uy from any further attendance at this court. The Judge then asked the District At- torney whether any more business was ready to come before the court, when his Honor was told there was; and some five or six prisoners were arraigned, that had recently been indicted, which was soon disposed of, by bail having been given for their appearance at the next regular term ef this county. A number of witnesses for the prosecu- tion Were now in attendance, and called upon by Mz Bishop, to enter into their own recognizances, to the amount of $300 each, for their appearance at the next court; which was soon done. Mr. Seldon, one of the counsel for Dr. Harden- brook, here arose, and occupied the attention of the court by reading a long affidavit, sworn to by. the Doctor, which asked for the final discharge of the prisoner, or that he should be admitted to put in bail for his appearance at the next regular term of the court. The reading of this affidavit was followed by many able remarks of Mr. Seldon, sav- ing liis grounds for the application for the Doctor’s discharge. (At this point of the proceedings the court-house became very much crowded with spectators, which created some considerable noise, but order was soon restored.) For one of his prin- cipal grounds for the discharge, he quoted the fol- lowing section from the second volume of the Re- vised Statutes, section 29, page 737 “Tf any prisoner indicted tor any offence not tnable in a Court of General Sessions, but which muy be tried in a Court of Oyer and Terminer, and committed to prison, whose trial shall not have Been postponed at his iustance, challagths broushe to trial before the end of the next Court of Oyer and ‘Terminer, which shall be held in the county in which he is imprisoned, after such indictment found, he shall be entitled to be discharged, so far as relates to the offence for which he was com- mitted.” After the above section was read, Mr. S. then strongly alluded to the health of Dr. Hardenbrook becoming quite impaired by his being kept so long in close confinement. He was replied to by the District Attorney, who urged that the court would not liberate him, as the time in which the regular term would come on was so short, and that the eharge against him was one of the highest offences, and a charge upon which a man should be held till such time as he could be fairly tried. Mr. Seldon arose again, and brought forward many other grounds upon which he ited the dis- charge of the prisoner. He was then followed by H. G. Wheaton, the acting Attorney General, who made quite a lengthy and able speech to the court, in which he discussed many of the points which Mr. Seldon had alluded to, and gave an illustration of them why the prisoner should not be discharged from custody. . After the conclusion of Mr. Wheaton’s speech, Mr. If. KX, Smith, the late Postmaster of Buflalo, (who has recently been engaged on the part of the prisoner,) arose and proceeded to deliver the final address to the court upon this question. He was listened to with profound silence by all that were ingthe court-house; his speech was an eloquent one, and’of such a nature that itapparently appeared to have an effect upon the Judge and his associates. After Mr, Smith had coneluded, the court gave their decision, that they did not deem the case one that they could either discharge or admit the priso- ner to bail, and,that the time being only two weeks, they thought it best to have the prisoner remain in custody; and he was remanded to jail to await the sitting of the next Oyer and ‘Terminer, which will commence on the third Monday of this month. The District Attomey then gave notice that he would take it up on the first Wednesday of that week. During the above proceedings, Dr. Hardenbrook was brought from he jail to the court-house, in custody of an officer, and took his seat beside his counsel. He appears to have borne his troubles with great fortitude, and his appearance has not in the east changed since I saw him upon the examina- ion before Justice Moore, only that he appears as hough he had grieved considerably ; he has now been in close confinement about ten weeks, and has over two more long weeks to so remain before he can have his trial, ‘The public feeling and sympathy since his ex- Bere UP ate to have divided a good deal, and many of the people of Western New York have now. de up their minds that he is an inno- cent and injured man; but a short time will soon tell the story. I have understood that several witnesses on the part of the people will be brought up at the trial whe were not upon the, examination. ‘The trial will create an excitement in your city, as well as here, in consequence of the Doctor being an old resident of New York. Cc. From T: —We h received our files of Texas papers to a very late date. The Houston papers state that myriads of beetles, about an inch in length, have appeared in the oak uplands of Grunes, M pnenery: ‘Walker and Leona coun- ties. ‘They feed on the foliage of the foresta, and as yet have done no injury to the crops. The frost has caused great injury in Texas. The corn in many places is blackened, and a large portion of it destroyed. The planters have commenced re- planting all their fields that have been injured. Muen sickness prevails along the routes at the West taken by California emigrants. The Tw graph says:—“ Mr. Osburn, of this city, who wi engaged as an agent of Mesers. Brown and Tai bex, lately died at or near Austin, and Mr. Chap- man, ene of the stage-drivers, has also died on the road. to Bexar, of a disease’ resembling cholera. The passengers who have urrived from the west, report thet several cases of the cholera have oc- curred at Austin, Bexar, Independence and New Brunfels, and t © is remarkably virulent. Several cases hav curred among the troops at Loredo, The disease in Bexar appears to have created quite a panic among the Mexicans, owing, probably, to the recollection that it was remark- ably virulent there when the epidemi i throughout the Southern States in 1833 ‘Texas papers object to the selection made by the War Department of the line of the Presidio del Rio Grande. point of connection for military posts, instead of the Presidio del Norte, as being too near the present settlements. Laren,—By the steamship Fanny, which arrived last evening, ‘ze. received files of Galveston papers up to the 27th ult., and from Corpus Christi as late as the 2Ist. From them we take the following items-— The Corpus Christi Star says that Col. Hardee, who with two companies of the 2d Dragoons, ar- rived at San Antonio, on the 34 inst., from Rio Grande City, via Laredo, lost some eighteen or twenty of his command on the road by cholera. The Victoria Advocate, of the 18th inst., says that on the 23d ult., a party of Indians came into the neighborhood of Seguin, and stole from the farms of R. B. Thomson, J. A. Johnson and Judge A. Harris, some forty head of horses. Indian murders have occurred near Mier and at Clay Davis's place.—N. O. Bulletin, May 1. Inpian Derrepations on THE Rio Granp’ By the last accounts from Texas it appears that the Indians on the Rio Grande frontier are becoming yery troublesome to both the Americans and Mex- ‘ans in their neighborhood. Not only. is the nited States government bound to protect its own citizens who live on the confines of the Indian territory, but it has also assumed, by the reeent treaty of Guadalupe, to protect, toa certain extent, the Mexicans, who have hitherto been the greatest sufferers from the incursions of the Camanches, the Lipans, and the Apaches, Having, then, under its care and protection all the inhabitants, Ame- rican and Mexican, that dwell in the valley of the Kio Grande, the United States should provide a force sufficient to repel the inroads of the wild, fierce tribes which ¢ about that region, and keep the whites ina state of constant anxiety for their property and families, So far, a, very small force has been provided for this frontier, and th little force there is composed almost entirely of infenty. The tndians are mounted, well equipped with arme, and singularly bold and daring in their attacks. Elence the necessity for cavalry, notonly to keep the Indians off from the white settlements, but to follow the aavagesinto their own villages, and teach them to fear as well as to hate the pale faces. The Indiwns on our present frontier are, we imagine, the last that our government will be called on to subdue and conquer. Hitherto our borders have been constantly enlarging, and the line of frontier defence has consequently been con- tinually extending; but hereafter, any acquisition of territory on the part of the United State¢ will diminish rather than increase the extent of our boundary lines. But the tnbes that at present wander about the Kio Grande, as well as the quieter tribes which dwell between the head wa- ters of the Del Norte and the Pacific, must share the fate of the Atlantic and Mississippi tribes. We are afraid, however, that there will be considerable difficulty with the tribes of Western Texas. There is clearly but one course for the goverument to pur- sue ; and the more vigorously the policy is carried out, the less expensive it will be for us, and the less cruel will it be for the Indians. It is evidently vain for us to try to conciliate these tribes. They mistake the spirit of conciliation for fear, and have no idea of power softened and controlled by mercy. Hence we have no resource left but to carry on hostilit'es against them so vigorously as to com- pletely cripple them and take away from them the power, ifnot the will, of harming.—New Orleans Crescent, April 27. Mvtriny anp’Assaur at Sea.—The ship Equity, Capt. Nayson, from Liverpool, arrived here on Sa- turday night last, having ‘he steward, a free color- ed man named William Thompson, in irons, charg- ed with an assault on Capt. Nayson, with intent to killhim, while on the voyage. We learned that the Captain missed a, considerable sum of money some eve after leaving Liverpool, and knowing that no one but the steward had access to his draws, he one day asked about it. The negro at once assumed a very impudent tone and used very impudent language, when the Captain slapped his face.. The scoundrel attacked him with the fury of a tiger, and had not the mate fortunately heard the noise occasioned by the scuffle and rushed in- to the cabin, itis thought he would have killed him. The Captain oneegs ed to deliver up the accused on his arrival on Saturday night, but thought he would postpone it until Monday morn- ing. On Sunday night some person on board the ship knocked off histronsfand. allowed him to es- cape. It is expected, however, that he will be ar- rested.—New Orleans Picayune, May 1. Fire at Racrve.—A fire broke out in Fitch’s warehouse about 11 o’clock last night, which was consumed, with S.C. Tuckerman’s. About 35,000 bushels of wheat burned. Wheat insured $8,000. Warehouses about $6,000. Probable loss $40,000. Fire supposed to have originated from lights in either stores while shipping wheat.—Racine Des- patch, May 2. —— CITY TRADE REPORT.
