FOR LOVE IS STHOVfi AS DEATH.
They err who deem love’s brightest hour
In blooming youth is known ;
Its purest, tendcrcst, holiest power
In later life is shown :
When passions chastened and subdued
To riper years are given ;
And earth and earthly things are viewed
In light that breaks from Heaven.
It is not in the (lush ofyoulh,
Or days of cloudless mirth,
Wc feel the tenderness and truth
Os love's devoted worth;
Life then is like a tranquil stream
Which (lows in sunshine bright,
And objects mirror'd in it seem
To share its sparkling light.
’Tis when the howling winds arise,
And life is like the ocean,
Whose mountain billows bravo Iho skies
Lash’d h_f the storm's commotion :
When lightning cleaves the murky cloud,
And thunder peals around us,
’Tis then wc feel our spirits bowed,
lly loneliness around us.
Oh! then as to the seamen’s sight
The beacon's trembling roy
Surpasses far the lustre bright
Os Summer’s cloudless day,
E’en such to tried and wounded hearts
In manhood’s darker years,
Tire gentle light true love imparts
’.Mid sorrows, cares, and fears.
Its beams on minds of joy bereft
Theif fresh’ning- brightness (ling
And show that life has something loft
To which their hopes may cling;
It steals upon the sick at heart,
The desolate in soul,
To bid their doubts and fears depart,
And point a blighter goal.
If such be love’s triumphant power
O’er spirits touched by limo,
Oh ! who hull doubt its purest hour
Os happiness sublime 1
In y. i ’ii» like the meteor’s gleam
M inch dazzles and sweeps by ;
In ah i-life its splendorsacciu
LinkM with eternity !

homes at Ir, a Is. The best wishes of
the li-outier inhabitant!) of ilieSlnle, will
accompany them, fur the alacrity with
which they repaired to the scene oVdan
ger« and the soldier like spirit which
they manifested to avenge the blood of
their murdered countrymen. If they
have won but few laurels, they have
shown hearts brave, and arms strong
enough, to have torn many a green branch
from the glorious tree." They deserve
well of their country, and it is unneces
sary for us to hope that (hey will be hon
orably and joyfully received by (heir im
mediate neighbors und fellow citizens.
The celebrated Jim Henry, who has ;
acquired an infamous celebrity in the
late outrages against the persons ami :
property of the citizens of (his Stale and >
Alabama, was on Monday last, lodged
in the jail of Russel county. Col. Elliott,
the Sheriff of this county, escorted by
Capt. Gann any and six of his command,
accompanied this same savage renegade,
from beyond Tuskegee,where he was sur
rendered up by Gen. Jessup, to his pre
sent place «t abode. Henry was on Tues
day, regularly committed upon charges
preferred against him for capital crimes
against the laws of Alabama. Col, E.
informs us (hat he met beyond Tuske
gee, five hundred, und on this side of
them, six hundred Indians, in charge of
the Alabama forces, on their way to join
the company of emigrants at Montmime
rv, which left Fort Mitchell sometime
since. There are now, altogether, some
twenty-five hundred or more, that have
been started to Arkansas.
e are informed that a small party
of die Alabama forces had an engagement
a few days since on the Cownggeo’creek
with a cmi-iderable body of Indians. WT
have not heard the particulars. The
whites amounted to about twenty, num
ber of Indians not known. Col.‘Milton,
with a detachment, went to their assis
tance, anil hud not been heard from,
when out informant left Irwinton.
In our last, wc mentioned that Col.
Beall had overtaken the Indians in the
Chickasawhatcliie Swamp, and thrashed
them tolerably genfeely. This was just
" hat every bady expected of him and bis
boys. They were of the right grit to
wade breast deep in a swamp and whip
the savage from his hiding place. We
have not as yet, seen an official account
of this baftlq, but from nil we can hear
from those who witnessed it, the Indians
were not only beaten, but well nigh (eto
lally used up. Tne following extract of
u letter, from a gentleman conversant
with the facts,gives the most circumstan
tial account that we have seen.
“ I will, as far as I have been able to
learn them, give you some of the particu
lars relative to Col. Beall’s fight, in the
C lickasawbatchie. After marching about
4 miles in mud and water from knee deep
to near their waists, the advance guard
discovered the enemy’s tents pitched on
dry ground, and such being their eager
ness (or fight, they cracked away at an
Indian who chanced to be walking down
to the water to wash his hands. This
alarmed the whole camp, and they rush
ed out and commenced a regular fire at
our men, behind the cover iff trees, kc.
led on by a chief, who did all that he
could do to encourage Ilia men, until an
►
r. irr —aw«
"unerring ball from a deadly rifle, laid
him prostrate upon the earth. The fir
ing lasted about 20 minutes, when the
charge was made and (he enemy Hed
with precipitation, leaving 13 dead upon
the field, and ample evidence *of a much
greater number being slain ; many were
seen to be picked up and carried off; they
were pursued _for some distance. The
Indians had 30 tents, and an incredible
quantity of beef, bacon, horses, saddles,
bridles, homespun, cooking utensils,
&c. &c. all of which fell into the hands
of the victorious whites. Many rides
were also taken ; in a word, their whole
camp equipage was taken and destroyed
by the troops. Their situation now i
desperate. The whites bad nine woun
ded, of ft Inch one has since died, Mr.
John Hardison of Early, Mr. Jas. IJicli.i
nan of this place, a gallant soldier, had
bis thigh broken, but is doing well. Ii is
generally admitted, (hat if the advance
guard bad reserved their tire until the
main body could have gotten up, every
rascal of them would have been taken.
\s an evidence of their desire lo fight,
when it was necessary for a guard to be
placed over the horses, during the ab
sence of die troops, the officers were com
pelled to detail men regularly for that
purpose, no one being willing lo remain.
After Buchanan fell, he called some men
to liiuf and begged them to hold him up.
until lie could shoot, but bis gun bad
been wet and it would not (ire. Two
dead Indians have been found since the
battle, and some 25 or 30 horses and
mules taken. The swamp is from 4 U)Ji
miles wide and 15 miles long, with now
and then a dry spot of earth, and infested
with Aligators, Bears, wolves &c. not a
human being, save the savage, lias ever
explored it. It is impossible to «ay bow
many Indians (here are. 7'om Carr's
estimate is generally believed to be cor
rect. He was in the battle anil fought
gallantry—he numbers them at 30J, (here
were at any rale, 3G cloth tents. Beall
had 275. The Indians will now, without
doubt, use every effort to escape, for their
situation is, ns 1 have before stated, des
perate.—lt is feared by some, that, they
have already gone, if they have not, their
time lias well nigh drawn In a close, for
the boys arc mad and determined to have
them. Beall has now 300 men under his
command, our btitallion will augment
that number to 500. It is believed,
that a yet greater of men will ba neces
sary to force the Indians from the swamp,
or to keep (hem in it.”
If is the opinion of Col. (5. (hat the In
dians have dispersed,and that he will be
unable to draw or drive them to another
battle. It is rather to be hoped that his
(earless band left but few of them alive,
and hence but few can can be found.
I’be citizens o( the counties below, would
do well to keep a sharp look out, for re
cent circumstances have shown that there
are small gangs of savages yet prowling
about in (lie large swamps in Randolph
and Baker. This caution is however un
necessary, for we discover that our fel
low citizens down the river are wide a
wake, and are keeping the enemy awake
too.
Gentlemen —Your renders, no doubt,
are anxious to get all the. information
they can 'respecting the war with the In
dians. 11 you will permit me, through
vour columns, I will give von a full and
impartial statement of several little skir
mishes which have taken place immedi
ately in this section since last Monday
morning, the 4th inst. the (ruth of which
can, if necessary, be established by se
veral as good citizens as can be found an v
where in the Stale. -
On Monday morning, fjjff 4lh instant,
some of our neighbors weramnt attending
to (heir domestic business, and discover
ed a trail of some 25*11 SO Indians, which
led into the K%h!tfoona swamp—in the
evening of the same day some ten or fif
teen K®n proceeded up to the trail which
we Mußised the Indians would travel,
and eWec.'dcd themselves about dark, in
order to give them a surprise, if they
shook! come—but a few minutes had e-
Sapfted when the savages made their ap
jiearaflfv, and to tlieir great disappoint
ment an 1 surprise, our boys let loose
upon them at a distance of abVul 50 yards,
with their shot guns and rifles, ‘which
caused them to llee in almost every di
rection, and in such confusion, that thev
left several ol their.packs on the ground,
and only took time to return the compli
ment with five shots, and that-at so great
a distance, we received no damage from
them. It being dark, and not knowing
tlieir force, we did not pursue them until
next morning; we trailed them back to
the same swamp, where they had con
cealed themselves in a hammock, and
had come out ami robbed a Mr. Jowers’
house of every thing that was of any
value, and returned to the swamp to par
lake of their snails. We had that day
about one hundred men, who bad collee
ted for the purpose of subduing the sava
ges. Without any officer, to command,
we penetrated the swamp to a considera
ble distance, when we came to the con
elusion that they bad made down through
the swamp, in order to make good (heir
retreat—at this lime (he main body of
our men went out of the swamp, w hen
six or eight of the hoys determined to
rout them or die in (he attempt; wont on
their trail through mud and mire the dis
tance yd about throe miles, where they
come in sight ol the Indians, and the mo
ment they come within proper distance,
commenced the attack, but the Indians
outnumbering them, they had to retreat,
getting one of our metTwoutsded by the
name of Casey, who had shot one Indian
down, and was reloading his gun when
another Indian went up to assist the one
down and shot Mr. Casey in the shoul
der ; the wound is a serious one: it is not
known whether any were killed or not,
but it is supposed there were several
wounded. All of our men made their
escape; if being so near we did not
pretend to follow them until next morn
ing, which was the Gth inst. when our
company collected to the amount ofabout
100 men, armed ns well as the situation
ol the country would permit, with old
shot guns and rifles—without any com-
proceeded on their trail some 12
or 15 miles, where they had rubbed ano
ther man s house of every thin" - they
could carry away, and even emptied the
feathers out of the bed ticks in the yard,
and made (hey way oft' to Bear Creek!
We trailed them through the swamp,
waist deep in mud and water, when si mis
not to be mistaken soon told that wo were
in the neighborhood of the Indians. We
I proceeded back "lo the other side of (he i
■ swamp and left a small guard with the |
; horses, and divided our company in three ;
1 divisions, and again took to the mud and i
i water, determined to rout the enemy or |
i die in the attempt. The companies or
s divisions were headed by Galba Mathews,
f Ned Beard, and William Cooper, 23 to
e 30 in each. Mathews’ company was the
e first out of (he swamp, and was attacked
by tbe Indians before the oilier cotnpa
, I utes got out. They returned the lire
s with spirit and considerable effect, killing
s one Indian dead on the ground, and bad
e ly wounding several others,which caused
I ; them lo retreat in the utmost confusion,
- leaving some 12 or 14 of tlieir packs, and
- plunder of considerable value. One ol
■. our men got wounded slightly, a Mr.
i- S.iiitb. Ills worthy of remark dial (hose
I gallant boys who were in the two first
s fights, were found amongst those who
c sncccded in routing them. All (his took
e place in the 2:>th and 1 Gth districts of
v Stewart. Huzza for the Kitchafoona
i. and Lannahassee bays, wlia sfand up to
!, the rack, fodder or no fodder.

Front the Columbus Enquirer, 15 Ih inst,
■ ; On (he 3j, 4th and sth of this inst.,
1 j there was a smart running fight of same
'■ I interest between a body of Indians who
■'* j were making their way to Florida and a
0 j portion of the citizens of Stewart county.
‘‘ j We have been favored by Colonel W.\i
' Cooern, of that county, who was in the
K engagement, with his“ official report ol
• the transactions, but too late for publica
-1 lion entire in to-day's paper. It appears
1 Irom that report that the Indians crossed
1 the Chattahoochee during (he night of
the 2d instant, and made up the iiantia
s hit tehee creek. As soon us they were
discovered by the inhabitants, an cx
-1 press was sent to (be commanding officer
' M Roanoke, and Major Alford was des
-1 patched in pursuit of them.—After pttr
-1 suing (or some time and losing all dis
tinct truces of them, and believing them
to he a very small body, if any, be gave
up (lie chase. The Indians reached the
head of (he creek and crossed over through
the pine woods (o the Kitchefoony lianf- '
mocks, where they laid down, and where
’ /? fiy-hvo beds were afterwards counted.
! Colonel Cooper, Win. White, Galba Ma
> thews, Edward C. Beard, and a number
■ of other citizens of Stewart county de
. lermined to follow them.—Eight men of
this party overtook and got before them
ia the swamp as they were passing. The
parties fired on each other, and both re
treated, the whites.knowing (heir weak
■ ness and the Indians fearful of their
i strength. The next day a larger body
■ o( whiles collected and followed the !n
--1 titans down the swamp, sometimes in wa
ter up to their waists. In the evening,
‘ the men being much fatigued, the most
of them went off’to refresh themselves,
1 leaving but about eight or ten men in the
immediate vicinity of the Indian*. These
the Indians attacked, and wounded one
dangerously though the shoulder. The
' white men think they killed several In
dians in the two engagements, though
they had no time to stop to seek for their
i bodies. Next morning the whites mus
-1 tered about sixty men, and after a pur
suit of about ten miles further they found
' (he Indians again in a large (hick swamp.
I Hie party dismounted, and went onto
the attack in three columns, (lie left wing,
commanded by Galba Mathews, the cen
tre by E. C. Beard, and die right by Col. i
Win. Cooper. The left wing reached ]
the hammock where (lie Indians were a <
little in advance of (he others, and were t
fired on by the Indians. The battle soon '
become general, and a general charge was i
ordered, which was done in Indian sash- <
ion with a hearty yell.—The Inuians gave i
way, and retreated before the right wing ]
had time to flank them. Three Indians
were killed, and large traces of blood left i
where they had retreated. They left all 1
their packs and plunder, a rifle, and piles ;
of pieces of calico,cloaks, coats, blankets, I
&e.—-The whites had one man wounded,
Mr. Sidney Smith,shot through the thigh,
flip whites then gave up the pursuit. In
their retreat the Indians had plundered i
two houses, one belonging to a Mr. Gow- I
ers, the inhabitants of which fortunately
had notice of their approach and time to I
make (heir escape. i
“ The Alabama troops are still in the i
field. Gen. Moore’s command have been ■
oft the scout for the last sis or eight i
weeks and have scoured the country from
1 Irwinton, to within 15 miles ofColum
! bus. A gentleman from this command
1 inlorms us that Gen. Moore’s men have 1
• been constantly engaged; no dav having
passed without a move being made. On ;
1 Thursday last, while scouring the Cowa
gee swamp, they discovered a party of
Indians and fired on them, when the In- i
■ dians retreated. The whites continued
the pursuit and after following them some
considerable distance, the Indians hailed
and shewed a force so much stronger
i than waSat first discovered by the whiles,
that the latter were induced to make good
Heir retreat to the point at which thev
i had in the first instance left (heir horses.
I lid express stated that when he left (hem
t they had secured their horses and detcr
i mined on maintaining their ground to ;
i the lost, being momentarily iii expecta- ;
lion ot on attack (rom the Indians. That
portion of the Alabama Army under the
command of Maj. Gen. Patterson are
stationed along the Old Federal road,
and together with six companies of U. S.
1 Troops, will give entire protection to
, travellers Irum Columbus to Montgonie
■ ry.” ®
i Colonel Rockwell, with sixty mounted
i .men, left this city tor Tuskegeo on Sa
turday last, by order of the Governor, for 1
- the purpose of demanding such of the hos
t tiles as had been arrested and carried to 1
, that place, who could be identified as tbe
1 robbers or murderers of any of the citi
‘ jens of Georgia. When lie arrived he I
1 tonnd me main body of the hostiles had
already been fonvaVde I from Tusk erne I
by the Contractors, and were on their i
way to .Montgomery, whence thev would t
be sent down the Alabama river to Mo
bile and New Orleans and thence to their |
place of destination in Arkansas. Col. |
Rockwell however found the notorious <
Jim Henry still at Tuskcgee, who was ;
forthwith delivered over bv Gen. Jessup,
through Cot. Rockwell, to' (he sheriff' of i
Russell county, Alabama, (the Governor a
ot Alabama haying first demanded him,) t
who brought him under a corporal's guard 1
<»l six men, ami had him safely lodged in 3
the county jail of Russell county, to an- v
swer lor his misdemeanors committed in h
the State of Alabama. Should nothing
he proven against him on the part of that
State, he will be brought over the trial in
Georgia. On Tuesday lie was carried
before an examining justice of Russell
county, and fully committed for trial at
the next Supreme Court of the county.
Wc did not attend the examination but
understood that he admitted his guilt in
plundering Mr. Elliot’s and other houses,
and carrying off Mr. Elliott’s negroes,
but denied being guilty or accessory to
any murders oilier than in battle. He
denied being at Roanoke at the sacking
and burning of that town, but admitted
that he was present and commanded at
Shepherd’s, Turner's, and at the attack
on Fort Jones. So great is the excite
ment against him, that General Sanford
deemed it prudent to have him strongly
guarded by the military going to and re
turning from the justice’s to the jail. His
general plea in extenuation of himself
and gang was, the destitute and starving
condition they were in at the time they
commenced hostilities.
Col, Rockwell, we understand, will
continue his route until he overtakes he
Indians when he will arrest all such as
can be identified and bring them back
for trial.

KNOXVILLE CONVEN TION.
Correspondence of the Constitutionalist-
Knoxville, July 7, 1836.
'The Committee of 45 have to-day re
ported a route truin Charleston to Branch
ville, $4,500 per mile ; thence loColum
bin, $11,433 per mile ; to Broad River,
$12,000 per mile; to Green River, $14,-'
300 per mile; to AsbvilM $40,000 per
mile, for 10 miles, rest $12,000 ; (»No
lachucliy River, along the French Broad,
$30,000 per mile; to Elk, $30,000; to
Cincinnati, $12,162; the branches in
Kentucky included. The whole cost es
timated at $10,800,000. Sunday reso
lutions w’erc also reported and passed in
Convention, among them one to cause an
address to be made to the people of the
Coiled States. Georgia, Alabama, and
Virginia, are requested by the Convene
lion, (the several States amending their
charters,) to join the main road at any
■point, and entitled to full and equal pri
vileges.
I lie undertakings build the road from
the Atlantic lo the Ohio involves a vast
amount of motley, and the great argument
in lavor ol an unbroken, continuous route,
is that capitalists would not subscribe to
a road iff this nature unless it was without
obstruction and under the control of one
corporation.
Tite States desiring branches with the
great road, can avail themselves of the
offers made, and reap some advantages
at a comparatively small cost. It may
be of great advantage lo the State ot
Georgia, Augusta, and Savannah ; as
Georgia will otter certainly as good mar
kets as Carolina, she may expectas freely
to participate in the trade from the Valley
of the Ohio.
The Convention meet again to morrow
at 8 o’clock, to decide on a proposition to
recommend the Georgia Rail Road Com
pany to surrender their charter from A
thens to Clayton, and to unite with the
Cincinnati, Louisville and Charleston
Rail Road Company, to build a road
from Athens, Ga. to some connecting
point in this State, or to Clayton in Ra
bun. The Convontb.'i will, no doubt,
adjourn to-morrow.
July B. Ihe Convention adjourned
to-day at 12 o’clock. The best feelings .
prevailing from every quarter. The lo- \
cation of the main Road will, of course, (
depend hereafter on the Stockholders. It ,
will probably go through South Carolina, .
in which case Georgia can avail herself ,
of all its benefits, either by individual m
terprize or Stale action, on full and equal
privileges.
The Georgia delegation liav.e recom
mended an Internal Improvement Con
vention, to be hidden next autumn, and
appointed a Commitleeof Correspondence
to carry it out.
Yours, &c. T. G. CASEY.
July sth.— Gentlemen —According to |
promise, I give you (he earliest informa
tion I can about the Convention.
We arrived here on Saturday last, and .
found this Town already tilled with Del- ,
egates and other strangers. Indeed the ,
number of delegates are reckoned about ,
500. They met yesterday at 10 o’clock |
in the morning. General Williams, of
l ennessee, was called to the Chair, and
Mr. Trior Lea, appointed Secretary. The
Delegates was called up by states, and
each registered his name und place of re- i
sidence. After which a motion was made,
ami Gen. Hayne was made President of '
ihe Convention, and a committee of 30 1
was created for general purposes; and '
another committee of 5 was made to pre- '
pare rules for the regulation to the Con- ,
vent'uin.
Several resolutions were offered and
laid on the table, to be referred to the '
committee when organized. They ad- 1
journedto meet this morning at 9 o’clock, !
V. M. Public notice was given that the I
delegates from the different states would <
meet in the afternoon, in different places,
lor the purpose of concert. We have had '
several meetings and some speeches; I
and I am induced to believe wc shall be •
ab.e to get on harmoniously, though sec- i
lional feelings, are occasionally evident. \
Alter Gen. Hayne was handed to the '
Chair, his address was appropriate, and 1
excited feelings of enthusiasm. I have 1
seen no disposition to excite any political J
tee nigs in the assembly ; (rue, sectional ,
Ice nig-, or those ofinterest were evident. (
t o-day our delegation met to hear the v
reports ol the committees created vester- 1
day alternoon ; but for the want of time, 1
ft e should have had many speeches. How
ever we received the reports of the com- e
mittoe on the statistics and commercial t.
resources of our State, and the report h
from the Engineer of the Georgia Rail 11
Road Company; on the passes through the b
mountains, together with some individti
a! or additional information concerning “
the different passes through the state. ~
We were enabled to have a resolution n
passed, that the Georgia Delegation would c .
persevere in obtaining a reciprocity on '!
equal terms with the other states ih this 1
great Southern and Western Rail Road. ’
. ° u r r did not join the meet- p
ing of the convention to day for an hour cl
altei the time; therefore, some of the de- s <
tads of the morning I did not hear. The 01
I lesulent was added to the Committee of lo
a9; therefore, the number was 40. Se
veral resolutions were offered, of more or h,
less importance, together with the reports L
of our committees. Messrs. A. S. Clay
ton, Wm. Hearing, R. W. Habersham,
and M. 11. McAllister, belong to the
committee of 40. Before we adjourned, t
however, Mr. Jenkins moved that Judge t
Holt should be added to the committee b
ns a representative from Augusta. In “
Consequence of this request, additional
members were added, viz: one from hi t
diana,one from Gbio, and one from North
Carolina ; therefore, the Committee con- i
sis!sof44. We adjourned tb meet to
morrow at 10 o’clock, A. M.
The committee, convened, and created
the following sub committees: No. 1.
composed of 5, No. 2,3, and 4, of 9 each,
viz: One from each state. These Com- ■
mittces had different subjects assigned (
to them. No. 1, a Committee on the
Charter; No. 2, on the various routes,
and No. 3, on Statistics and Commercial :
advantages. The others Ido not remem
ber, because I only write from memory.
As soon as I can obtain any printed do
cuments 1 will send them to you.
W may get through this week, though I
others think if may require two weeks. I
July B. — Gentlemen : —To-day about
noon the Convention adjourned, after
passing several resolutions highly gratify
ing to every one. We have succeeded
in obtaining the consent of the Cincinna
ti and Charleston Rail'Road Company,
to become parties in this great undertak
ing, if the State of Georgia shall hereaf
ter consent. We believe we have ob
tained every tiling which we had a right
to ask for. We have certainly concilia
ted much of the supposed opposition of ;
' South Carolina.
If Georgia can now be aroused to the
great project of uniting the South with j
the West and North West, in this splen- j
did plan, 1 have no doubt but that she
will sooner reap a return of (headvanta- i
ges than Carolina, with all her talents 1
and energy, because we have less diffi
culties to overcome, and will much soon- J
er get into the Tennessee valley, where |
we shall at once find an active and in- i
dustrious people, possessing many agri- ■
cultural advantages.
The proceedings, reports, resolutions,
&c. of the late meeting, will soon be pub
lished, and a very general distribution
will be made to the several States.
Yours, &c. A. CUNNINGHAM.

copied during the week past, that we
were barely able to state, as we did on
Thursday last, the general complexion of
papers of late date which have reached
us from Mexico. From a further exam
ination ol those papers, it appears proba
ble that General Filasola will lie dis
missed by bis Government, if not trea
ted with greater rigor, for obeying the
orders given by Santa Ana after his cap
livity, and thus putting an end to the
caiiiniiign. We have selected and trans
lafecl from those papers, for the amuse
ment and information of our readers,
some of the Mexican official papers, com- 1
prising the correspondence of Santa 1
Ana with Filasola after his capture, the ,
communication of that event by Filaso i
la to his Government, and the proceed- '
ings of the Mexican Congress and Go- 1
veniment and subsequent to the receipt
of Filasola’s despatches. 1
It will be remarked that Filasola as
serts that Santa Ana had only 700 men
w*l(h him. Gen. Castiullon, it appears,
wxt.s not killed, as former accounts have /
stated. But the most important fact in '
the Mexican Officials is, the decree of the N
Congress, whereby all Santa Ana’s acts, J
while a prisoner, are declared null and i.
void. It seems that the nearest friends (
of the captive President whom lie
had left to .administer the Government
during his absence—have adroitly taken 1
the lead in directing the national ener- ( ,
gies, and left his personal fate to be de- ‘
cided by events. This, we think, wms t
not expected. It was rather supposed /
that a Revolution would take place; or. I
at any rate, a violent struggle of parties 4
(or ascendency in the Government, un- b
tier favor of which the Texans might f
have had time to consolidate their hide- (
pendence.
Under the present state of things, it I
appears (hat (lie Texians will yet have to S
encounter all the energy which it is in (
the power of the Republic of Mexico to 1
exert for the recovery of the ground she
has lost. s
From Ihe Xorth-Western Frontier#

Important Military Arrangement. —From an
authentic source we learn that the President of ■
U. Stall's has requested Governor Dunkin to ac- «
ccjd the services of one thousand volunteers, for "
the protection of our Western frontier. This re
quisition is made in compliance with (he rccen l
act of Congress, authorizing the president to ac- 8
ccpt the services of ten thousand volunteers, in
case of Indian hostilities. General Atkinson! to
whom the protection of the north-western frontier •'
has been confided, is authorized by the Secretary
of War to call upon the Governor forlhe service’s v
of these volunteers. Willi this auxiliary, and fi
•he disposition already made of the regular forces sl
at the frontier posts, it is believed that peace will
he preserved among the tribes located on our her- (
ders. a ;
We may shortly “ look out for squalls” on our ft
own frontier, The same fierce and long smother- P
cd vengeance which the artful eloquence and dar- ft
mg intrepidity of the South (Oscola,) has aroused
m the Scminolcs and Creeks, also lurks in the •>
bosoms of the numerous tribes of Indians by whom »
we arc surrounded. The very first breeze that si
wafts the fame and triumphs of Oseola to the prai- si
ties of the West, may also hear upon its bosom the tl
reverberations of a warhoop that will ring in lin- ei
goring and appa'ling echoes from the Red river to
the Wisconsin I The protection allorded us hv
the Government is by no means ample, and in "
the event of hostilities being commenced we
would necessarily have to rely, in a great degree '
upon our own means of defence.— BoonvilU her

Suppose Canada were to declare independ
ence of Great Britain, and invito our People
to come to her aid ns emigrants, by “companies,
hal f companies, scores, and singles,” ought we not
then immediately to petition Congress with one e
breath to acknowledge her independence, and with
the next, lo take her into union with us as “ano
ther slur,” or stars, in the bright American con
stellation of freedom's jewels, to increase onr
stripes? And would there not he as much of
national justice—international faith— sound poli
cy—patriotism—philanthropy and common sense,
m such a course of proceeding on our part, as
there was—in—in—the—the partition of Po
land !
We only ask a question byway of leading
people into a train of thought,, which may per
chance, bring home to them (or them home to)
some truths in comparative national anatomy,
>n which it may possibly not he disadvantageous
or them to ponder well,— Lexington Intel.
