Editorial Correspondence of tht Picayune.
Cahmaugo, July 27th, 1846.
To break lb# dull monotony of camp life we had
soother Injun slarm yesterday morning. The alrenrlc
coioe id great haste and trepidation to the commanding
c.tneer of the troops here. Mating that the Camsnchea j
Mere laving waste the ranches on the other Mile of the
river above the mouth ol the sn Juiq, murdering the
inhabitants and carrying offcaptive the children. Me-
CulJoch'tf Hangers were at once detailed lucres the
Rio Grande, and ware all iu th® saddle in almost no
lime. I
To mv thinking, these Indian diaturbancea wilt be
fruitful of much trouble. If lam n*t much mistaken,
at the great tieaty r<*iily held by Goa. Butler and
Wij. Lewis, high up on the B'nioi. it wx understood
that the Indiana were not to be mileated n any war
they rmsht be engaged in with Mexico. It might i t
have beeu •• ao slipuiaud in the bund ” vet the toiniiiis
•loners in the then stating state of aff.ns between the
Lotted Ht*'e* and Mexico we<e not in a situation to
aiy to the different tribe* tb it they most war no more
with a country that was ilien a common enemv. That
they might so l did say to them, that thev wee at lib
erty to wage hostihties conformably with (be nsage*
of civ l.ied nations, there can he little doubt; but that
they told them not to approach the Melt an frontier,
would hate been a piece ol absurdity, not to sv stupid

In he mean time, some of the wild tribe* have or

I ran give yea. perhaps. the first * steamboat arri

Neva struck a snag yesterdav alvut nine miles below
this, and i* sji !tohe a foul loea. She bed two rom

t*on of their rffrtu. while Uucle Sain ta also i loser
to the extent of no small eruounl of armv stores. It is ■
s nutar rro other acnaienti have rn-curred.
The Aid, Uapt. llvde. came in veMerdnv morning
and the Mercer arrived in the forenoon with (Jen.
Worth on board. The town i* nu fairly overrun with
troops, and a move towards Monte<ey with a porno©
of them is talked of.

The talk is still qf Indians ami Indian outrage*.-
Div before yesterday the Camanches attacked a ranch©
1 wtween this and Metr, killed nine Mexican* and took
off no than fourteen women and children prison
era. Last night, so rumor has it, they stole upwards
•*f twenty horses from Gillespie's men. while they were
encamped near the tinu** of an American living four
miles btiow this <>n the opposite side of the Rio Grande,
besides taking off all the *niu<s!s belonging to the ran
cho. I can hardly credit this; but should it prove true
it will go hard with the Camatiches. Capt. Gillespie's
command is composed principally of Jack Hay's old
me®, and they will not give up the chaso after their
horses in a hurry.
V\ e have another report to the effect that six Amer
icans. while driving lit l**f cat'le from Luredo to Salt
Antonio, were set upon by the Cumaiichea and all kill
ed together with fourteen Mexicans who were in com
pany. I still contend that the Indians have the right
to carry on war on thi< aide the Rio Grande with tbs
Mexicans, hut this thing of murdering Americans upon
the high road in IYia*. put* * difleieul face euiuely
upon the matter, and the trea< haroua savages should be
pursued and severely punished at once. They should
be told. bo, that all the inhab.ljntf on tlie * ast bank of
(he Kio Grands are under out protection, and ‘threaten
ed with war to extermination if they molest a single
person.
W hile upnri thi* subject I would mention one little

Spurn ATiova rrox tvr Kcti or Mexico. —
The gold and silver mine* of Mexico continue to pro
duce an immense amount of ore, *o much in fact, that
it mar le aid. that a large proportion of all thit is
•see! in coirimrce m the Eastern Hemisphere, conns
from that rountrv. It ia computed, that the quantity
• f precious metals exported from Mexico in 1842. was
$ l S.bOOJ l®. This of course dots not include the
, vast amount that ia ciandeMinelv taken out of the
country, to avoid the enormous export duty of six | er
ent. charged by the Government. It in asserted that
the product ol the mines of Mexico in as e f eat now i
e*er. There can he n** doubt that the continued revo
lutions have had the effect to check the working of the
mines, and thereby itssenej the production to ail liii
mense extent.
It la a matter worthy of speculation, as to what
would he the effect upon the world, if the Mexican
mines weie in the nosaission of an industrious sod en
terprising people, who would open eveiv vein of silver
or gold, that could profitably be wrought. It is said
‘hat one family in Mexico have absolutely checked the
•rinount of bullion, that might be got out of the mines
m their possession, fearing (key would produce more
han they were willing to throw >nto the commeicia! j
world. How true this may be we cannot judge ; yet |
t i* ,- obsble. that if all the mines in Mexico were ;
‘.silver would fall in value, and thus create a

I- o ’ hr national debt, if Americana held Mexico. From j
the reason, that the industry of the people would pro-1

her national debt within limits of possible payment.— !

One thing is certain, the garden spot of this ronti- !
nent; the teiritory wherein lies the richest treasure* I
lof precious metals; the richest productions of the
earth ; the most salubrious climate, is Mexico. And |
, within her genial realm, ia the hardy northern race
cither to develope into a perfection not attained in
more northern climes, or to sink into idleness, and de
generate from the mere dissipations of hie induced bv
a climate full of beauty, and by a soil supporting exis
ynce by its spontaneous productions. Our war with !
Mexico is the commencement of anew era in ihe his-1
lory of the Anglo-Saxon people ; it is for tbefir.-t time j
to introduce them into a portion ot the globe, where [
nature, for existence, will not have to be triumphed!

THE MEXICAN NEGOTIATION BILL.
Our readera already kr. w that that the President of
the United Mlates, addressing himself first to the Sen
ate in a confidential message, and afierwards to both
Houses of Congress in a public Message, had appeal
ed to them for advice and aid in bringing to a rinse the |
War with Mexico, aa he ought to have done before he,
by hie sole action, began the war; or, to use phiase
ology to which none can lake exception, before he
placed our gallant little Army under Gen. Taylor in
such u position aa lo make wai inevitable.
In pursuance of the public Message, a bill was on
Saturday introduced in a Commiilre of the Whole
111 the House of Representatives, by one of the paili- 1
sans of tho Executive, for making an appropriation of {
Ho millions of dollars, lo enable ihe President of the
Unit and Stales in negotiate a Tieaty of Peace with
Me ten, including most plainly the acquisition, by
force or purchase, or by both meins conjointly, of a
gieater or la.a poition of Mexican lemiory. Tina j
bill was debated both before and after the teceaa on |
! Saturday, and all waa going meinly aa marriage bells I
towards i a consummation, when the apple of diacv-id

To the Senate of the United State> .
I here wilt* coiiidiuiilCttte to the Senate the copy of a
• leltter, under dale of the 271 h ultimo, from the Stocre
• tary of JS'ate of the United S'ates to the Minister of
Fo cign Relation* of the Mexican Republic, again pro
posing to open negotiations and conclude a tieaty of
|eice, which eftall adjust a I the que*l<m* in dispute
between ib two K# publics. Considering the relative
power ot the two countries, the glorious events wb ch
hsve 9lieady aignul zed our arms, and the distracted
condition t Mexico, 1 did not conceive that any na
uonal honor could exist which ought to prevent nie
from making this overture. Equally anxious to termi
nate. by a peace honorable for both parties, as 1 was
originally to avoid the existing war, I have deemed it
my duty aga n to extend the olive branch to Mexico.
Should the Government of that Republic accept the of
f. r in the same friendly spirit by which it w** dictated,
negotiation* will speedily commence for ‘.lie onclusion
ot a tieaty.
ihe (hies difficulty to be anticipated in die negotia
'ion is the adjustment of the bouudary between the
waitifH, by a line wliioh shall at once b *;thaGlory and
c nvernenl to both, and anch 9s neither heieafter will
1 e inclined lo disturb. ‘I bis la the beat m-ule of *®cur
mg | erpeiual f ace and grol neighborlmotf between
ihe iw> K publics, should the Mexican Government,
in ord r to accomplish these objects, he willing to cede
mv portion of ihcir territory to the United States, we
ought t. pny them 3 fair equivalent; a just and hon
orable ponce, und not conquest, being onr purpose in
ihe prosecution of the war. I ruler these circumstances,
snd con-idsring the exhausted aud distracted condition
• fthe M‘xic*m Republic, it might become necessary,
n order to restore peace, that 1 should hive it in my
power to advsni-e a portion of the consideration money
for any cession of tertitnry which msy be marie. The
Mexican Government might not be willing to wait for
the payment ot the whole until the treaty could be rat
ified by the Senate, and an appropriation to carry it in
j to effect he made by Congress; and the necessity for
such delay might dt-fcsi the object altogether. I would
J therefore, suggest whether it might pot he wise for Con

In the two cases to which I have referred, the ape

THE I, VST VETO.
In the course of yesterday's silling in the Senate, it
became the constitutional duty of that body to recon
’ sider the bill, which originated in the Senate, for let
j Ring the elaims due by this Government to its own j
J citizens uniter the Treaty with France, nuw more than j
; forty Via trill; which bill bad passed both Houses J
and been n- toned by the President of the United
i with objections. The question on the pnssage ’
( of the bill (the President's objections notwithstanding) j
underwent a brief but spirited debate ; anil when the
i question was taken, had all the Senators in the city
been present. if is probable that a two lbirda vote would |
have shown the sense of the Senate upon this first in- i
! troduction into the General Government of the prin- !
: ciple of Rkp7i>iatiov in one of its most revolting !
j forms; that is to sav. Repudiation of debt by a Gov- j
ernment yet in full credit amt possessed of inexhaust- j
ilile resources, on such grounds aa are set forth in the ‘
; Veto Me-sage. As it was, the vote of the Senate ex- j
hibited twenty-seven vote, in favor nf the lull, lo sis- !
: teen against it. So very obnoxious are the principles j
of this veto to the moral sen-e. that there were Sena
tors (political friends of the President) who voted
against the bill when it first passed that body, and yet
would not vole against it upon the question of sustain
ing the veto.
It may be well to add. however, that, had the bill j
passed the Senate by a two .hir.lt vote, there was no
hope that it coaid become s biw against the veto. In
be House of Representative* it passed by only a few |
erttrs of a majority; and. had the bill r> tied that
“t from the Senate, the.r was no proh-.l ‘v of its !
. oping votes enough throe to pass it by t vtxitirda |
vile. — Nat. Intelligencer
Home Truths.
Mr. Brownson, a democrat of the fi.a water, and
recognized as one of t eir leading champions; a
staunch friend of Van B r- n, and a hitter and uncom
promising enemy of the Whig cause, speaks advisedly
and from petwmal knowledge, of his quondam associ
ates in the following strain:
••When we find men who are steeped in corruption,
gorged with th spoils of tha people, holding themsel
ves up as the es| “-isl friends of the people, and loud
in their advocacy . . Democratic theory, and in the
i condemnation of all o , , quc-iion its soundness, I am
I irresistahly led to the b- si there is something in
I theory itself peculiarly favo a op to the prosecution of
their corrupt designs ami I waul no better evidence to
assure me of its utter h still y to the legitimate ends of
government. What ve want is not w indy professions
about liberty ami equally, nol-y rant and frothy decla
mations about Democracy, but substantial freedom,
however secured, for each individual to perform, with
out let or hindrance, his especial functions in the social
body whether it be function of the head, of the hand,
or of the foot. The real enemies of this substantial
freedom are your democratic politicians, who vsith
their lips praise the people, and with their hands pick
their pockets, or those who act the jackals to their dain
ty chiefs, who are 100 exalted to plunder except by
proxy. It is because the demorracy afTnds an ampin
field to these political spoilsmen that I chiefly distrust
it, arid demand the preservation of our cnnalitutional
ism ns some prorectMn against them of the mass they
flatter and plunder,”
CHEROKEE TREATY.
The Wsshington Union save:—The Cherokee
treaty was ratified by the Senate, with one small amend
ment. which will not, probably, pieverit its going into
efleet. The bill making an appropriation for its exe
ecuiion was lost as it wss entering the House of Rep
resentatives, by the Speaker's hammer descending at
I’d o'clock. The appropriation ofsso 000 for carrying
Unit the Pottawatomie tieaty was embraced iu the same
bill.

OUTRAGE AND ROBBERY.
One of tlie moat diabolical personal outrages and
barefaced robberies, if ihe •istemeuls made are true, was
perpetrated on ‘Thursday last, on the person of Mr. I
. Barncastle, who keeps a French hoot store, at the cor”
ner ot Fourth and Walnut sticels, that we ever remcin
her to have heard of. Mr. B. s store i* on the fust
floor at the corner, Ihe other purls of the building be*
mg occupied us a boarding hou-e,
About hall past 7 u clock on Fit.lay morning the at
tention ot persons in the second story rjum, immedia
tely over the store, was attracted by low and Continued
moaning, as of a person in distress. Search waa im
mediately inainuted, and on opening tbe front door of
the store, which was unlocked, Mr. Barncastle was
found under bis counter, hts feet tied together and his
hands drawn under Ins Hughs, crossed and also tied,
wiiU a gag in bta month, and in this cramped condition
securely confined to the counter.
1 he alarm w*a immediately given, the ropes cut. and j
Mr. B. was removed, helpless and speechless, to un up j
per room. Dr. West and others were called m. and
by bathing and the use til cordials, Ihe injured man was
in the course of two hours so far revived as to tie able
to slate, though speaking with great difficulty, that he
had been assaulted and robbed tbe night before, about
11 o'clock, by three men, two of whom he believed to
be Englishmen. One of tbe three, he stales, called in tho
afternoon previous and purchased and paid for a pair’
ot boo s. winch he desired lo leave until the theatre was
out, wlieu he would call lor them. When Mr. B.hud
closed his store, with tho exception of the front!
door, the man who had bought the boots called, accom
pauteil with two others, arid requested Mr. Bat ncastle to
untasten the sirups ot hts pantaloons, preparatory to
putting on the new boots. While Mr. 8., stooping,
was thus engaged, he was suddenly seized by the throat
j Gy tbe man whose straps he was unfastening, another j
.pinioned him by the aims, and the thud closed the
j door. He was then threatened with death, securely
tied and gagged as he wua found in the morning, and
• Ins pocket book, containing four hundred dollars, atn-j
leu. His desk was rummaged and his paper* scatter- 1
ed widely aruund. ‘The new boots were lying in the
middle of the room, with the hooks in the s';apa, ready
jto be dtawn. Mr. B. complained much of his throat,
i and was senoualy biuised in bis aide, Irom blows and
) other rough treatment that he received.
The man who called m the afternoon knew that Mr.
| D. had mouey, having seen it in his hand while ieceiv.!
jmg pay lor the bools sold. Ali things considered, this
i is the most exlrsorduiary outisge we ever heard of.
I At the hour named peisons were continually passim’
j ihe store door, the lannly of the bouse were m the room
| over heed, and, in addition lo this, a watchman slunos
. oh the corner almost wiihin reach ot the door, at which
two watchmen are presumed lo b some lime during
j the night—and yet not a word was heard, nor is any
| person seen to leav* the place. It is indeed unaccoum
| able—and not less a mailer of surprise, close and hot
a> the night was. that, in bis situation, he lived through
it. The case ceitainly merits close investigation, and
i a resort to every effort to detect and puuislj the ofleml
era.

had prevailed. Up to that time Ihe perched earth r
quired moisture ; since then it has enough and to spare.
Every day during the present week has expenonerd co
