President Polk made eloquent appeals to them in our behalf. in various messages, and we have the authority of Mr. Senator Seward for saying. that Gen. Taylor friends, the last day of Congress, to exert thems have some bill passed. ‘Give them any kind of govern. ment,’ said be, ‘but that of the bowie knife and revolver.’ That I may not be supposed to draw too dark a picture of the conduct of the last Congress, I will read a few short extracts from the debates taken from a paper [ have accidentally picked up since I came here; and bear in mind that similar debates were of daily occur- rence for nearly sixty of the ninety days of the last ses. sion (Here the hon. gentleman read various extracts from the New York Herald, of the debates on the last night of the session ef Congress} Mr. President and fellow citizens. I do not refer to these diffleulti 10 de- ter us from acting. On the contrary, we should, from this cause, be stimulated to immediate and decisive action. But ! refer to the past and fores! fu. ture to secure harmonious action among ourselves. and to show the necessity of it. We must present an undi- vided front to the next ( ongress, and thunder at the doors of that body for admission as one of the free and indepcndent States of the Union, backed by the unani- mous voice of the people, merged in the great work before, us. Let us act as one man, with the knowledge that the destiny of unborn epee pends upon our acting wisely and pa- riotically. aud success will crown our efforts. Not enly should blish tate government. but we sbould do i once. It will strike the mind ot civilized | nations with admiration to see us meet harmoniously together and form a F - appe eh instead of stirring up the angry passions of the people by calling public meet- ings to denounce the last Congress. One of the moat remarkal ects of legislation, of modern times, was the declaration of war wa the United States against Mexico. The representatives of a mighty nation of twenty millions of people, of ‘various interests, feelings nd prejudices, with a unanimity unexampled, i i ed the most responsible deoree that ¢ the lives ef thousands perity, honor and exin. tence of nations. What was the effect of this unanimity and Lew action? The nation received It with a shout of enthusiasm, and our Vee by tens of thousands, of- fered their eervices to the ment to march under its banners to victory or death. What other but the lorious result of that war could have followed the en- Thusierm of euch o people. Let us then be equally prompt. not in declaring war, but in providing for peace, and repair wrongs by peaceful remedies, and we will re- ceive the meed of praise of the patriotic of every clime. There is another reason why we should act promptly. A great deal bas to be done by the next Congress for California. if that body, like its predecessor, does not entirely neglect us. We must have a land system estab- lished, haves dy surveys of the public domain,that the reservations due to us as one of the States of the Union may be promptly made. aud protected from depreda- tion. Private land claims must be settled by a compe- tent tribunal We must have a mint. build custom houres, barracks, naval de; . and lighthouses, Every one acquainted with the legislation of Congreaa must be aware, that to ensure the certain action of that ponderous body upon any measure. or set of mea- sures. the members to whom they are entrusted must be present at the commencementof the session, and be _ upon the committees who mature and prepare usiness for action. Send raed representatives and Senators after Congress is fully organized. and business cbalked out for the committees, id they will be powerless to serve you effectively. What is done for you will have been crudely Ly ge by the hands of | strapgers te your country and its localities, and who are pot responsible to you for what is done being well | done. Another imperative reason calls for prompt ac- tion in forming # State government. The eyes of all nations are upon us. We are the observed of all obser- vers. Nothing can occur here but it will fly, on the gs of the ind, to the four quarters of the globe, We have a mixed varied interests and pepieton, languages.

As you have learned ere this, by telegraph, a favorable change has taken place in the health of the city, though there 1s still mach sickness. Diseases, however, are for the most part of a bilious character, and are more within the reach of medicine. Until recently, the proportion of | fatal cases of cholera, to the number attacked, was very large—probably two-thirds. Indeed, nearly every cuse proved fatal, ualess relief was rendered in the incipient stage. Latterly the suc- cess of the faculty has been greater, owing, most probably, to the milder character of the epidemic, although it cannot be denied that our practitioners have had ample opportunities of learning much by experience in the treatment of the disease. The faculty here are highly respectable, yet niae-teaths | ot the number never saw a case of cholera before | its present visitation.

We have been favored with the following extract of a letter just received from one of the Colony Guard, a company from this city, post-marked “*Tugh Creek, Mo., July 8” :— Fonr Curmps, June 17, 1849, The Guard are now 360 miles from Indepen- Y opposite Grand Island, which we struck some twetve miles back. To- | morrow we leave, striking a bee-line for the dig- ings. So fur, we have been yery fortunate. hile other companies were losing their mea, | breaking up, &c., we have been enjoying good | health, and meeting very few accidents.

We expected to | be 200 miles further by this time; but bad wea- ther, green mules, and heavy loads, have put us | back. We did not get started fairly until dhe 16th , May, The next ten or twelve days we were con- stantly stuck in the mud, creeks, or something of the Kind, and our headway was pro portionably slow, some days makmyg but two or three miles. Finally, we got along without sticking, and made goed marches, e shall reach Fort peng by the 4th July, and the diggings by the Ist Septem- ber, and not before. At the crossing of the Kan- sus River, 100 miles from Independence, we saw quite a number of Indians on the opposite banks of the river, watching us tugging at the oars, and hauling our old scow up the river against the cur- rent, and all hands atthe muddy wheels, rolling the wagons off On the plains, we have seen nei- ther Indians, buffalo, deer, or any other game, ex- | cept prairie hens and plover, and but few of these. Three antelopes passed iu sight a few daya ago. We are not at all lonesome. Not a day passes but we see some company bound on. At present we are travelling with a company of 30 from Vir- ginia. Encamped near us is a Dutch company from the city ot New York, some 60 men. ‘They have lost three men—one shot, one broke his leg and died, and another died on the route. A com- pany from Boston, of 25 men, have lost one on the plains. Another from Washington city, some 60 men, Capt. Bruff—the Washington City California Mining Association—all well; and three or tour more from the Eastern States. | Many of the companies ahead, we learn, have pes their teams so hard, and been in sucha urry to get on, that they are now iin: oe a teams in particular. + ae Tue Inptan Troveres i Frorma.—We un- | derstand that prompt measures have been taken by the Secretary of War, to hold several companies in readiness to proceed, at a momeat’s Warning, to reinforce the troops now in Florida, should it appear that the conduct of the four In- dians who murdered Mr. Barker, in the settlement on Indian river, be at all countenanced by the ny of the Seminoles who sull remain in "here is no reason to suppose, however, that this recent outrage of the few, indicates either the feeling or the purpose of the tribe ; but of this we can have no assurance tll farther reports, which have been called for, can be received from the commanding officers in Florida.

Worth, in relation to the number of warriors left in the assigned strip of land in the peninsula. He states the number to be 95, in November, 1843. The number is reported at a later date (1843), by Capt. J.T. Sprague, of the army, who, uatil re- ly, had in charge the superintendency of the Indians in Florida. His work on the Florida war was published during the last year. He says :— “Very recent intercourse with the Indians re- maing Within the limits of the State has enabled those oo whom the Gaty devolved to ascert correctly the number, and the disposition m: well as their present condition.

Joy, placed it some fifty ards in front of King’s house on the hill, and after waving loaded it with five balls, attached to it a slow match In due time it went off.

It was a considerable time before the | flames burst through the roof, during which a dense cloud of smoke was emitted. In about half an hour the fire burst through, however, and ina short time the entire block was destroyed. It was occupied, as near as we can recol'ect, by A. od & Co, Montreal Steamboat Company, W. If. Roy, Rabinean & Gandry, Chouloard & Co., and the shipping master, in whose office, it is said, the fire originated. On the side opposite, the atore of Messrs. MeLimont and two taverns, forming one side of the Lower Town marketplace, have been destroyed. While we write the fire is not quite extinguished, but we believe it will be prevented vom extending farther. We are unable as yet to say what amount of loss in merchandise has been sustnined, but the destruction of property is great.

The interior of this splendid theatre is finished, and it is » beautiful speot- men of architectural art, which does great credit te its builder, Mr, Trimble, as well as to its decorators and painters, MM. Allegri and Molini, two of the best scenic and decorative artists !n this country. The pro- scenium is illustrated in the Moorish style, and copied from those admirable ciselewrs of the Alhamra of Grenada. The two ranges of boxes are beautifully or- namented, and the curtains and sceneries are of very elegant style. One of the most remarkable improve- ments of Niblo’s Garden are the seats of the boxes, which are well cushioned and give com- fort to those who find’ room upon the: As % tout ensemble, the aspect of the house is very fine. The theatre is airy, and, of course. comfortable for the numerous public who will undoubtedly patro- nive the establishment of the Napoleon of theatrical managers. The audience last evening was very large, and composed ot the most respectable people of our city. The Ravels made their new début in their well known farces. pantomimes, and acrobatic feats. which were, and will be, as before, the great attraction at Nibio’s Garden. ‘Tho tight rope, tho Italian Bri- gands,” and © Vol-au- Vent,” completed: the entertains ments, and excited all the old enthusiastic approba- tion, laughter, and applause which we have witnessed and heard for the last ten years. Che second perform- ance of the Ravel family will take place this evening, and will consist in the exercises of the dans de corde; to be succeeded by the pantomime of th: Mitliners, or the Hungarian Rendezvous,” and to conclude with the fairy play of the ‘Magic Crumpet.” We are ecrtaim that Niblo’s Garden will have another lar; and this enterprising manager deserves to filled, for he has made every effort to build theatre, and has thus far entirely succe stage mat ‘ment is in the gands of Mess dale and Sefton, two well-known’ public favorites. What with the excellence of all the arrangements. the beauty and spaciousness of the theatre and saloons, the loveliness of the fashionable ladies who fill the boxes, the admirable performances of the orchestra. led by Signor Lamana and the Ravel, and a hundred other attractic Niblo’s new theatre cannot tail to be in attractiveness and prosperity, to the old “Garden. ‘What more could Mr. Niblo wish? Bunton’s Tueatne.—Last evening the new farce of “Taken In and Done For,’’ was performed with decided success, The characters were sustained by Messrs, Holland, Clarke, Dunn, and Mrs, Dyott and the Misses Barber. The audience had not a moment’s rest during the performance, the points were so goods and the humor of Holland was so inexhaustible. The audience were highly gratifed. “John Dobbs” was the interlude, in which the inimitable Brougham, the talented Burton, the sententious Lynne. and Miss Mary ‘Taylor appeared, and, therefore, we need not inform our readers that the piece was triumphantly successful. Iteould not have been otherwise, because Burton and Brougham were the pillars upon whicn it rested. The entertainments conciuded with the laughable farce of the “Confidence man,” in which Burton took the part of Mr, Colliweb, Collecting Agent for the uew tem ance movement. and Brougham that of Brass. the Con- fidence Man. Success in this instance alao, was achiev- ed, the reason being the sameas in the preceding case— the acting of the proprietor and stage manuger. 4 of its attrac- as ever, the perform- is will at once be conceded at Mr. George Loder is the | attended. Nationa Tueatre.—The amusements last evening were most admirably conducted. The farce of “A Kiss inthe Dark” elicited much mirth, and Chapman, as the jealous Pettibone, with bis very original plam for detecting Master Fathom’s kissing his wife, was very comical, indeed. Chanfraw looked well aa Fathom; he is as good in light farces as in any other line of “ Mose in « Muss,” and the “ White Horse rs’? were next played. Inthe latter Mr. Boland appeared as Gerald Pepper, jandsomely received. He will become ‘tor, we think, To-night will take of the widow and family of the late .
