THE GRIEVANCES OF THE PEOPLE. MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS. We have received advices by the last mail from Santa Fe to the Ist of April. Our previous advices were tothe 17th of March. (From the Ohio State Journal.} Santa Fx, New Mexico, March 31, 1852.

The Eutaws and Northern ‘Apaches behave very Well, and none but the Coyoters (Southern Apa- thes) are at war. If any of your medical friends wish a situation in a pleasant post, I know of a vacancy—occasioned by the following cireumstances: —One of the Eutaws on the San Juan river was taken sick, and an Indian doctor from the Rio Verde was called in to attend him. Owing to the strength of th@isease, or te the weakness of the preseri; tion of the doctor, the patient died and was buried. After the funeral, the doctor was taken by the friends of the deceased, tied up, shot, and scalped; his wife’s hair was cut off; his house burned con- édiaing all his propery, and all his animals killed. ‘This is tho inwy among these Indians, regulating doc- tors. The vacancy {fg yet unfilled. In looking over tho papers by the last mail, I see much said about the gold mines of New Mexico, which may Lae ey to believe there are many in the territory. ere are only two, I believe, that are worked—the old and new placers, about fifty miles south of Santa Fe—which would pay well for moet if there was water sufficient for wash ing.

THY EXPEDITION TO EQUADOR—ITS EFFECT IN NEW GRANADA—NEWS FROM NICARSGUA—THE RIOT AT Se rere COMMERCIAL NEWS FROW The steamship Empire City, Capt. Leeds, arrived yesterday morning from New Orleans and Havana. She left the latter port on the 29h ult., and was four days and five hours on the passage. The purser of the Empire City, Mr. E. W. Hall, supplied us, as usual, with the latest news. We are also indebted to Dr. rant of Panama a passen- ger, by the Empire City, for some interesting intelli- gence, The Panama Hera/d of the 20th ult., says :— We have been favored with the perusal of a letter just received from Hon.

But few people know anything about mining, and without a heavy capital the business will not pay. Governor Calhoun leaves for the States in a few days.

Then who should be governor? Who? tell me who ? The people are all busy sowing their wheat, cutting out their acequies, and getting ready their lands to plant corn. There is but little snow on the mountains, and fears are entertained that the crops will fail for want of water. No other items of interest, I believe. Yows.&e. J. Greiner. At a meeting of the citizens of ta Fo, New Mexico, held at the New Exchange. on Tuesday, 30th March, 1852, Hon. Hugh N. Smith, was chosen President; C. 8. Rumley and 8S. J. Speigelberg, Vice Presidents; W. T. Dalton, Secretary; and Ww E. Jones, Assistant Secretary. Mr. Smi7u stated, that the object of the meeting was to take into consideration the present deplora- ble condition of the territory by reason of the de- fenceless situation in which it is placed. Mr. C. H. Mernritr proposed the following memo- rial, which on motion of Mr. J. E. Gary, was adopted :— MEMORIAL. Your memoralists, citizens of the county of Santa Fe, in the Territory of New Mexico, respectfully re- present, That the citizens of this territory feel it to be a solemn duty to invoke the earnest attention of Congress to the suffering, distressed, and impo- verished condition of the territory at the present time. The members of your honorable bodies are awaro that since its occupation by the Americans there has hardly been a moment during which its inhabitants have been spared from the hostilities of some one of the Indian tribes by whom they are surrounded. But none of those whom we now ad- dress can have an adequate idea of the extent to which these hostilities have proceeded, or the many calamities and miseries which they have inflicted on the country. The recent census returns will show you the loss of property from this cause, within a short period betore these returns were made up. Since then these losses have been greatly increased. To this loss of property must be added the lamentable loss of life, and the captivity of women and children, carrying terror to whole communities, and distress and desolation into the bosoms of hundreds of families. The recent outbreak of the Apaches, attended as it has been by numerous bold acts of rebbery and murder, has created a state of alarm throughout the southern half of the territory which has never been exceeded. These maurauders have been, and stil continue, pillaging on the whole line of the Rio Geariindal Nertesfromt veer Albuquerque to El Paso. They have already murdered, since the Ist of No- vember last, twenty-seven persons, and carried off an amount ofstock which, considering the impover ished condition of the country, is a heavy drain upon the resources of the people. They boldly enter the smaller towns, compel the inhabitants to take refuge in their houses, and then deliberately drive off their flocks and herds before their eyes. Travelling from town to town has be- come extremely dangerous. Prudent persons do not venture abroad unless they are well armed and ac- companied. Inshort, the great high road of the coun- try, in the thickest settlements, is, at this moment, as unsafe as the remotest traik on the acknowledged range of hostile Indians. What effects such a state of things must have upon the business and industry of a people, need not be dwelt upon. The occupants of the ranches dare not go, nor send their laborers, into the fields. The residents of the towns, kept in a state of alarm, are busy in preparing defences, or in watching for the stealthy foe, upon whose move- ments there is no calculating. In the face of such misfortunes, the poor people of this country look around them in vain for relief and succor. The protection they need, and for which they do not suffice of themsclves, cannot be afforded them by the United States troops now here. The efficiency of these troops, supposing them to be the fittest ones for contending with our savage enemy, has been greatly impaired. It is no exaggeration to say, that two-thirdsof the dragoons are without hor- ses; and the horses of the other third are well nigh wi serviceable ; and no idea can be more prep than that which looks to any successful warfare with Indians, unless their pursuers are well mounted. But recently, Major Howe was sent out to “relieve Fort Webster” from the Indians. It is understood that he saw some Apaches on PAG ON pai harm- ing them, and it is also understood that he eved Fort Webster.” The relief at Fort Webster con- tributes, however, but very little, if any, to the re- lief of the inhabitants of New Mexico. Ind it is not believed that such relief is to be expected from the United States troops acting alone. Under these circumstances, your memorialists would respectfully suggest that, while the regular troops are oceupied in garrisoning posts in the In- dian country, there should be raised a corps of vo- lunteers, of a different descripiton from the men en- listedin tho regular serv It is possible that such & force could be raised in this territory. It could command the services of men inured to moun- tain life and Indian warfare. It is certain that, if such 4 force can be raised in the frontier States and this territory, we!l armed and equipped, it would, in a short time, tell with effect upon our savage in- vaders. Those invaders would be trailed to their lairs, and there punished in such a way as all savages require once to be punished by civilized man before they can fully understand that civilized generosity is not simplicity, and civilized humanity is not fear. A proper chastisement of these Indians would be exemplary in its character—it would be the surest way, in the long run, of sparing even Indian blood, and the only mode of laying the foun- dation of permanent peace with these tribes. Be- fore exemplary punishment is inflicted on them, we may look in vain for any real and lasting amity with them. Entertaining these views, we most respectfully request that Congress will turn its attention to the unhappy condition of this country—a country which, considering not only the character of its population, but the solemn pledges of the government, it is wound to protect. And as in duty bound, your memorialiste will ever r. P. Beox, Jr., moved that the above memorial | be translated into Spanish, and circulated among tbe Mexican population for signatures; that the Pre- zident appoint a committee of seven to circulate the memorial, and obtain facts in regard to the present condition of affairs in the territory, and insert such facts in the Spanish translation of same. Adc Mesers eck, Jr., J.J. Webb, J. | Donaciano Vigil, Thomas Ortiz, J. W.

The revolution broke out in July last; and while every other part of the repub- lic has yielded to authority, this province, which is \ not worth to the government thirty reals, is costing yearly as many thousands of dollars, is still unsub- dued.

Another Terrible Fight among the Natwves—Dis- mantling Chagres, §¢., §¢- Chagres has again been the scene of another bloody battle. It was at this time black against black, Carthagenians and natives against Jamaci- ans. It commenced at the house of a Mre. Johnson, on the American side, a Jamacia negress, who, it appears, gave a fandango to her colored country- men; about one o'clock in the morning an un- fortunate native entered her house, and, as some ill feeling existed since the last row between the Ja- maicans and natives, they beat the poor native most unmereifully. He immediately went over to the other side and sounded the alarm, and in Jess than half an hour the little river that separates the American from the Chagres side, was swarming with canoes, loaded with Carthagenians and natives who came to avenge the inj done their com- anion. They assembled on the bank to the num- er of some three hundred, armed with their ma- chetts and long-knives, and marched in a solid body to Mrs. Johnson’s, and then the work of destruction ke bottles were hurled at the pistole fired, but the natives forced their in, and, after tearing everything in the house to pieces, attacked the Jamacians with their ma- chetts and knives.

Had they been here, the slaughter would have been awful. They fought desperately on both sides for two hours, bat the drum on the fort sounded for the troops to muster, and some sixty came oyer and charged on the mob, who scattered pell mell to the woods. The troops took possession of the field of battle and arrested some twenty of the ringleaders and took them to the fort. It was whispered that another attack would be made the next night, on the Jamaicans, and num- bers of them sought protection in the Castle, but order reigns againin Chagres.

St. George’s day had been looked forward to with some hopes of a celebration | worthy of the anniversary; but whether from a de- cline in the national spirit of Englishmen, or from that peculiar indifference which is epidemic amon, Canadians at this season, neither a dinner nor a ba! were announced. The banners were taken to church, and a grand musical service performed from Porgo- lesi, Handel, and Mozart. Individual Englishmen sported a rose in their button hole; but to those who neither heard the one, or saw the other, nothing an- nounced the recurrence of the 23d of April. yhen all around me is so flat and monotonous, you will nét be so unreasonable as to expect a lively letter from me; were I otherwise than dull, indeed I should convey a very incorrect impression of the state of things here. They are more fortunate in Montreal. They have, besides a stray concert or two, a couple of excellent lecturers, who are drawing lerge houses. One, Ralph W. Emerson, has given three or four lectures, and has quite removed the prejudice with~ which many of the strait-haired Protestants were disposed From the tone of some of the papers, he seems perfectly idolized. I have private letters from Montreal, which take a | somewhat more critical view of his talents, and which, while they concede to him a brilliant imagi- nation, chaste conceptions, and an elegant style, deny him both depth of judgment and originality of sentiment. There is, besides, a want of the practical about these transcendentalists, which ought for ever | to keep them inthe back ground. They aro at bot- | tom but a harmless variety of the Fourrierite genus. Emerson attracts all those who do not flock to hear Dr. Brownson, who is preaching a kind of crusade against Protestantism. 1 need give you no biogra- phical sketch of that eminent doctor, who has pro- fessed all possible creeds, and solemnly states his con- viction that they are all equal bad, except the Ro- man Catholic—which, until he changes it for another, he is prepared to laud and propagate. Macaulay says that he sees no reason for SSUPOE that man | is making any progress in the intellectual sciences, such as mental philosophy and religion, wherein the wisest philosopher could ‘not boast that he had he- | queathed a single unquestionable truth to posterity; ' and so Dr. Brownson may perhaps succeed in con- yerting us all. His progress is slow, however, at present, although his lectures are popular. An in- cident which occurred lately near Toronto, has af- forded him a fine theme for declamation. An Irish- aman, and a Roman Catholic, had sent his son to the common school, where, it seems, contrary to the wishes of the parent and the law of the land, the child was forced to learn the Protestant catechism. The parent complains—some zealous Protestant can see uo harm ina little gentle coercion of the kind, which is obviously intended for the good of the little fellow; and Monseigneur the Count de Charbonnel, who to these high sounding titles adds that of Roman Catholic Bishop of Toronto, thinks it not inconsis- | tent with his dignity and his mitre to assail the of- | fending schoolmaster in print. Unfortunately, the | Globe is @ most uncompromising enemy of bishops, | guacumque clave. Its editor mutilated the poor Count | in the cruelest manner, and savagely scatters the | band of small seribblers who flocked to the battle under the wgis of the episcopate. Of course, as at | bottom in this matter, the Catholic is right, Dr. | Brownson will make a good thing of it. Symptoms of unusual activity in the newspaper world have been noticed of late. A large newspaper is to be established at Montreal, under the name of The Morning Chronicle; and another journal, called The United Empire, is to appear in Toronto. Both of these papers are to afford an independent support to the government. The Pilot, the late go- vernment organ, is to become a daily instead of a tri-weekly paper; the Transcript and the ¢ are to be increased in size; the Daily News, at Kingston, is a decided improvement on the old Chronicle and News; the Colonist, in Toronto, has begun to issue a daily, which has already, it is said, attained a very large circulation. All this looks as though editing was not a bad business after all One fact, the total want of anything like an organ- ized opposition to the gove' press, is very significant. There are many papers which profess hostility to individual meters of the cabinet, but few, if any, to the administration, as a whole. Thus, in Quebec we have three English and three French papers—one is the official organ; four of the others are independent supporters of the mi- nistry: and the remaining one, the Journal de Que- tec, is violently o ron.

Bishop Waugh then delivered an address, in which, after a fitting preface, he rendered a tribute to the memory of Bishop Hoading, who died at Poughkeep- sie, April 9, 1852, having been gencral operiutents ent of the Methodist Episcopal Church for twenty ears. For the preservation of the unity of this ody, said Bishop W.,the great head of this Church required that it should be governed to a certain ex- tent by legislative principles, but yet itshould be con- sidered as judicial and religious rather than legi tive. This was a body sprung from the necessities of the case, and in accordance with the views of early Methodist fathers in this country, though in England the strong distinction of a united Church was want- Rey. ing. The address spoke strongly in favor of supporting the itinerant principle of the Church in the superin- tendencies, and in favor of annual changes in the presidency of annual conferences, as more likely toconduce to a proper administration of affairs. The episcopacy was one of the few general bonds yet left to the Church, and every care should be taken to preserve it; the progressive character of the present age had a tendency to induce the throwing aside or forgetfulness of old established {nigel or their radical change, and all should e done to prevent all unreasonable or undigested action of such a nature. Does Methodism operate with the same success or energy as before? This was a difficult question to answer. If outward pros- perity was a foundation for a decision, it would be at once said that it was gloriously in the ascendant; the increase of its wealth and churches, of the intellect and character of its ministry, of its means ofeducation. All these things were a sign that it had not. yet reached its culminating point. The ower of a church was to be found in the spirit, hin, communion with God, and zeal of its mem- bers, both individually and as a whole. There appeared to be more worldly-mindedness than formerly, to be seen in costly dwellings, fashi able clothes, parties at which improper amu: t class and proyer meetings, or of interest in their exer- cises, and the habit of many ministers (oe d ¢ pline. The Methodist Church had a great work to do; the children of the land ever increasing, the foreign-mission field, the press as an instrument of good all there things were beckonizig onward to energetic action on the part of the Church.

The Amer- ican Bi siety was accomplishing a great work, awd it should be supported. The origm and pro- gress of the Book Concern was next sketched, and nota small statement in its favor was that it had disbursed for the last half century, of its profits, one hundved to one thousand dollars annually, to each conference, for good purposes. This highly beneficial organization was threatened wit jury by n proposed policy of restricting prices of works to the mere cest, thus preventing all profit. Yet why should any chunge be made in the old and well tied policy of the Concern? Bishop W. favored the enlarging of the number of superintendents of the Concern to six, all of whom should be men of piety emphatically Methodists, who should give whole attention to the work.

Our Boston Correspondence. : Boston, May 4, 1852 | Fie two Exiles in Boston—Lola Montes, her Recep- tem, Triumph, and Defeat—The New York Hanatp in Esague with Brshop Hughes and the Jeswits—Dis. Forrest, & There is a sort of paradoxical similitude between New York and Boston, in the treatment of the two celebrated exiles now lionizing through the country— the ex-Queen of Bavaria, and the ex-Governor of Hungary. New York first got up the excitement in favor of the hero-to boiling point, and then sud- denly coeled down and felt ashamed of the exhibi- tion they had made ; and then, to make some atone- meat for the idolatry paid to tho man, they deter- mined to prove their gallantry, by paying homage to the hitherto neglected woman. Boston has just acted in the very same-manner, mudatts mutandis. The Countess of Landsfélt was the first of the errant air to present herself to the admiring people of ston. She was, as allithe world knows, received with the most flattering marks of admiration, and held up asa paragon in all that is most lovely in woman. But time passed on. She disappeared from the stage in which ahs paged such a distinguished role, and was succeeded by another actor, in the character. of the Governor of Hungary. The Bostonians got ashamed of the extravagance of their flattery to Lola Mentes on seeing it _reflect- ed 80 Sy, in the columns of the Heranp. They thought they had deviated from the austere virtues of their Puritan fathers, and had, per- haps set a bad example to tho rising geno- ration; ahd vo, like the New Yorkers, they determined to atone for one folly by committing another. They shattered their former idol and then set up a new one, whose term of homage will, pro- bably, be as bief. I need.not refer further to this, as your spocial correspondent keeps you fully posted up as to all the doings and sayings of the Hunga- rian. But to return to Lola. The principal cause of her suocessful career in. this city, is, beyond doubt, to be attributed to. the influence oxercised by the Hrrany, in casting the powerful protection of its agis over the fair but frail foreignor, when she came to this country, and in lending her the use of itscolumns to defend her charaeter from tho at- tacks of her defamers, the Jesuits, and to issue her manifestoes in protection of hor pure and honorable life. She thus appeared in the eyes of our citizens, as a chaste ant virtuous beauty in misfortune, having all the materials of an excellent saint, but who was the victim of Jesuitical persecution, and, thereforo, entitled to their sympathy and protection. Under this idea, they crowded the theatre when she danced, patronized her liberally, introduced her to their children at school, and made her sojourn among them a pleasant, profitable, and triumphant one. The illusion was at length dispelled by a satirical editorial in the Heraup. Those who were the most sedulous flatterers of the Countess began to see the ridiculous pranks the had played, and resolved to ‘go and sinno more.” And Lola, seeing herself deserted by these butter- flies of an hour, and aware of the cause of it, went through all the phases of temper of which an angry woman is capable, ee entreated, wept, scolded, swore, and finally called the gods to wit- ness that ‘Bennett has been bribed by Bishop Hughes and the Jesuits.” ,The memoranda in the Heraup of her career since she left, has been road with much interest here. The battle scene in the Howard Hotel excited as much attention, and was the source of as much conversation, as a now coup d’état of Louis Napoleon would. Mrs. Forrest is not in the best odor here, though she has succeeded in attracting large audiences. Her notoriety has brought full houses, but her act- ing is not admires The Weather and the Crops. The Jackson Mississippian, of the 23d ult:, says:— “A ht frost was observed in this neighborhood yesterday morning. Further north we fear the cot- ton has been damaged. The weather has been dis- agreeably cold for ten days past.” The Baten Rouge Gazette says there were frost at that place on the 21st and 22d April, and adds:— * The frosts will retard the growth of the crops, but will not materially injure anything but the cotion crop. Which can be repaired, as it is not yet too late to plant, with a fair prospect for a good yield. The fruit is not much injured, as it was protected by the thick foliage of the trees.’” The Franklin Planters’ Banner says there was frost at that place on the mornings of the 21st and 22d April ‘The Plaquemine Sentinel of the 24th ult. says:— “On Friday night, the 16th, this community was ed by one of the severést hail storms that has ever occurred here. It commenced about twelve at night, and was preceded by rain, thunder, and light- ning. It appears that its main track was a few miles below here on the bayou. A planter informs us that next morning there were hail-stones on his grounds an ii in diameter, and that a cart load could have easily been gathered up. All the sky- lights of his sugar-house were broken; corn fields were completely riddled, and the cane injured some- what. Fruit likewise suffered; the peach trees were considerably thinned, and many of the green peaches were cut so as to expose the stones. On Monday morning following, we had another storm with slight hail; atter which the wind rose very high, and blew quite a gale all night from the north, continuing with some abatement for two days, and making the weather sufficiently cold and disagreeable for fires and overcoats.” The Clinton (Feliciana) Whig, of the 21st April, says :—‘ Por the last few days the weather has Leen extremely unpropitious to vegetation.

But there is a host of small fry about mo‘here, and I proceed to dispose of them. Thore is one Dr. Brewer, of the Bostow Atlas, who could not live by pills, and who tries to live now by slander. Ao- quiring a competency upon the proceeds of rum, he invested those proceeds in a ne’ r, and this newspaper he edits, or writes for, with about as much skill as he phlebotomized or physicked, but no more. Of no. mind of his own, of no compre- hension of his own, of no nationality whatsoever, he has become here the worst sort of a vincial tewer for draining off from Washington to Boston Congressional garbage, political offal, and pot-house putrefaction. What he has he gathers up from the crumbs ef Governor Seward’s table, or from the bed- room of Horace Mann, (the only gentleman who admits him into conversation) and he knows about as much of what is really going on as if he were m dog with their labels on him. He is ejected from about all other decent society. He is seen in no other reputable man’s parlor. Mousing about, he has just capacity enough to comprehen a lie, and to re-utter it; and the wonder is that, from so intel- ligent a city as Boston, there ever should be deputed such a mean, miserable, sneaking representative of Ce press. Thus inuch for one of the slanderers ere. There is another, however, and his name is Pike— a waif on the world, originally from Maine, but just now spluttering in the New York Tribune. Lord undoubtedly intended him for a decent man, and bas really given him some talent; but he is a living illustration of what becomes of a man who es, breathes, and exists only in a stunting mala- ria. What wind he has has become so dwarfed by the air he breathes in, that he has become per- suaded that whoever docs not think as he ks, ets, is only a anave or a rascal. an abolitionist, educated an abolitionist, and eat- i drinking only with abolitionists, he has ne iden aman can be an honest man who is not just such e yed-mouthed, foul abolitionist as he him- self is. Supposing, during the long session of Con- £50, whep the compromise measures were sion, that he could, as an abolitionist, engress the ember from the Calais or istrict (Mr. Fuller), he procured from Governor Seward letters of contidence and introduc- tien to certain Roman Catholic priests on the Pas- ramaquoddy and Machias Bays, and he tried with these letters to cajole these priests; and sometimes, by canting with Methodists in some places upon the Lerrers of slavery, and with Free Will Baptists in other places. he prayed or Aro ait himself into a respectable vote; but he did not successfully cheat | enough to ebtain anything like a majority.
