Approved. June 18, 1812. JAMES MADISON. ‘This act is remarkable for its conciseness and com- prehensiveness, and was the moJel for the declara. tion of war with Mexico in 1846. the Attorney General of the United States under President Madison, William Pinckney, of Maryland. During the proceedings on the subject of the de- claration of war in 1812, Congress sat with closed doors. The measure was recommended in a report on the 3d of June, by a majority of the Committee on Foreign Relations ig the “louse of Represéiica- tives, viz: Joba ©. Calhoun, of South Caroliaa; Felix Grundy, of Tennessee; John Smilie, of Penn- aylvania; John A. Harper, of New Hampshire; Jo- seph Desha, of Kentucky, and Ebenezer Seaver, of Massachusetts. The reasons given by the Commit- tee for recommending an immediate appeal to arms were in substance as follows:—The impressment of American seamen by officers of British ehips of war; the British sysiem and doctrine of blockade; and the adoption and continuance of the Orders in Council of that government, which operated exten- sively to the interruption and injury of the Ameri- can commerce, To which was added a long and un- satisfied demand for remuneration on account of de- predations committed by English subjects on the lawful commerce of the United States. The act declaring war was adopted in the House of Representatives, on the 4th of June, by a yote of aeventy-nine in the affirmative to forty-nine; but was delayed in the Senate for thirteen days after it was submitted to that body, where it dnally passed —nineteen tothirteen. Of the votes in the Senate those in the affirmative were all democrats or repub- licans, and of the negatives, six were federalists and seven were democrats or republicans. Of the members of the Honse of Representatives, seventy- aine democrats voted in the affirmative, and thirty- four federalists and fifteen democrats in the nega- tive. The following table shows the vote of the House of Representatives by States:— States eas. Nays New Hampshire... 0 ....0e 3 2 Vermont... : 8 1 Massachusetts 6 8 Rhode Island o 2 Connecticut, +0 7 Now York 8 ul New Jersey. 2 4 Pennaylvania,, 16 2 Delaware... 0 1 6 3 14 5 6 3 8 a 8 0 6 0 3 oO 1 D 49 Majority in favor of the war.. a Henry Clay, the Speaker, according to the rules, did not vote on the question, althougd de was an ardent advocate of the declaration and war mea- aurea. Twelve members of the Honse and two Se- nators were absent when the vote was ‘aken. The declaration of war was considered a party measure, and was uniformly disapproved of by the federalists; but some of them resolved to sapport the war after it was declared, The venerable ex- President John Adams, who had left the federal party after the election of Jefferson, wrote a letter to afriend, dated Quincy, July 6,1812, in which he remarked—‘ How it is possible that a rational, @ aocial, or a mortal creature can say that the war is unjust, is to me utterly gocomprehensible. 1 have thought it both just and necessary for five or six years,” a Caution to the Public.

PETERSBURG, MAY 6, 1854, BY A GENTLEMAN HIGHLY INFORMED, AND OF THE HIGHEST CHA- RACTER. As you may suppose, we are surrounded with all the outward symptoms and preparations for a great war. There are said to be at this time in and im- mediately around the city 120,000 troops, which is | about double the usual number kept here in time of peace. The streets are constantly ful of soldiers, and the city is under martial law. No one can pass the gates and barriers after 9 o'clock, and in the lower parts of the town, near the batteries, it is supposed that the inhabitants will not be allowed to be out of their houses after that honr. I have read with great attention the correspondence which has resulted in bringing on this war, and my sympathies are, I confess, on the side of the English and f'rench, not that I am am enemy to Russia, or d> not find many of her people amiable and good, but I should | regard it as the greatest misfortune which could bappen to mankind that this deadly system of goy- ernment, which has a tendency to blight all that is | noble and free among men, should be any farther | extended. For this reason I should regret to see Russia get control of Turkey, and I fally. justify the | Western Powers for the steps they are taking to 0; | pose Russian ambition. It is terrible to contemy @ contest with such a power as Russia,and the Western Powers show great boldness and magnan- imity in sina the evil at the present time, rather than by temporizing with it, to leave the le to some future day, when the chances against them would be much greater. I have lived enough i Russia to learn practically the full meaning of the word despotism, and every day’s acquaintance with it increases my gratitude that my lot has been cast in a country where, aa yet at least, it is un- known. I continue to hope that onr public schools and the good sense of the intelligent classes will preserve us from it.

The race was a capital one; the fir-t heat being soclosely | and party in part until | Rieodship contested that the horses were never within the distance stand coming home. Don was the avorite at one hundred to forty previous to the start, and large amounts were invested on the result. Considerable “hedging” took place during the con- test in the first heat, but afterwards very little money was posted. The attendance was good, the track in magnificent order, and the weather delight- ful for the sport; and all who witnessed the trot re- turned home satisfied with their afternoon excur- sion. For a wagon race the time was good, as will be seen below:— Fist Heat.—Don won the inside position.

Paso Roap.—We learn from Mr. Knox, who ar ived from EF Paso on Satur- day last, that the Mescaloro Indians still continue to lay in wait in the neighborhood of Eagle Springs, for the purpose of attacking those who stop there for water. It was here they attacked Mr. Hedges’s party, a party of Mexican cartmen, wounding seve- ral, and it was here they expected to attack Messrs. Edwards and Pyron’s party. But the jatter having been informed of the whereabouts of the Indians, attacked them, killing several and wounding a num- ber. The purty of Indians sent to stampede the cattle shared the same fate from the few left in charge of the drove. This cattle drove suffered se- veiely for water. The Western Texan of the same date has the fol- lowing items:— Serious Ovrrace.—From a reliable source we learn that on Saturday morning, the 27th ult., a se- rious assault, and probably murder, took place on the Quibi, about fourtcen miles from Castroville. A man by the name of Kirkpatrick, accompanied by several others, rode up to the house of a poor Ger- man family, and on entering wp a for the man of thehonse.

Ovr.—In the present number of our paper it will be noticed that in the letter ad- dressed to Major el signed John Connor, and dated Fort Chadbourne, May 17, there is the notice of six horses being taken from the Wacos, und the Indians themselves also taken prisoners. At the time of the murder of the Forester family, Major Neighbors had an express sent to G. W Hill, apeculutive Indian agent on the Brazos, for him to be on his guard for these Indians and horses. Short- ly after Mr. Hill took these Indians, horses, and several quilts and blankets, &c. EmiGration.—Notwithstanding the many Indian depredations that have occurred on our frontier during the last two months, many families are still moving into our part of the Stute, and, for the pre- sent, stopping in our city. Some, however, are not to be bsfiied by the Indians, and go farther on. Two compapies paseed through our city last week, ‘and joined each other near here for their better mutual protection. They number together about sixty effective men, well armed; and besides these were their wives and children, baggage wagons, &c. Feo f are on their way to California, and neither in- tend to be deterred by the Indians or the elements. Two or three other companies are forming in this 5 part of the State, and one of them will leave in a few days for the same destination.

The third round he was again slightly struck in the right breast, the bait it; fast under the skin. No fears are en- tertained, however, from his wounds. The fifth round Judge Evans was shot down and dangerous! wounded, the ball ente: his breast. The diffioul- ty seems to have originated from yery beret, Jan. guses need Sy General Saunders, in reply to a | speech that Judge Evans made before the Literary | Society of the Western Military College in Alabama. Some twelve months ago the Society appointed General Saunders to deliver the annual address, to take place last April. A short time after he was ap- winted he left the Stateand went to Charleston,8. ’., where he remained until about the Ist of rea When he returned he found that Judge Evans had been appointed in hie stead to deliver the address. The day arrived, and these two gentlemen both at- tended the school, and both le speeches, ablo peechet—Evans speaking first. In the course of his remarks he alluded to the General's leaving 0 voon after receiving the appointment the year vions, and stated that “he fled from the under- taking.” General Saunders, in reply, stated the reasous why he left, and gave the lie to Evans’ as- sertion, and used other very abusive language to the Judge, which resulted that evening in a chal- lenge. gu.7¢ Evans is a native of Charleston, 8.
