After carrying the entrenchments of the Cni li»ts,
the troops of Gnu. F.van* stopped at the venta of
Ernani, where they took rest. By acroni.Ui of the

were fortifying themselves. Krnnni was stiength-

The follow tug message was received from the
President of* flic United Slates:
To the Senate of the Vnitetl Shift s :
The art of Congress “ lo appoint n day for die
annual meeting of Congress," which originated in
die Senate, has not received my signature. Tin-
power of Congress to fix. hy low, a day for flic rc-
cular annual meeting id* Congress is undoubted;
but the concluding part of this act, which is intend
ed to fix die adjournment of every succeeding Con
gress to die second Monday hi May
ineneement of the first session, does n -t appear to
me in accordance with the provisions of die Con
stitution ofjho United State*.
The Constitution provides—
1st article, 5tli section—*• That neither House, du
ring the session of Congress, shall, w ithout the con
sent of the other, adjourn for more than three days,
nor lo any other place than that in w hich the two
Houses shall he sitting."

To these interrogatories I answer, thnt at present

In exercising the right under this Constitution there
was a variety of opinion; in some counties, tree
negroes were permitted to vote, in others their votes
were rejected. East year the Constitution was
amended; ami hy the amended Constitution the

To this interrogatory I answer, that so far ns I

scription, flic number of those who have the it*for-
maiioii necessary .to enable them to form opinions

From the Columbus Sentinel, June 17.
A message, it i* said, was recently forwarded to
; \i-jili-M icco 111-in (ien. wood wind at 'J’liskcgi ©. *ny *
ing to him in substance that if be and bis men were
| friendly to come in to the vv bills, or otherwise lie
would lie limit with tin hostile. Thnt upon receiv
ing the message the old eh iff made an attempt te
carry his party ns desired, hut could not get inorothnn
about llireo bundled to join him, the remainder, (it-
bout live hundred,) ilriei mined lo fight. It isfliiilu r
said thnt Ncah-.Micco finding his party so genernlly
hostile heeam© apprehensive for Ids pcrsonallsafety,
! and finally slipped nw av fi'oiu them during the night,
vv itli a few li lends, and made his escape to Tuskc-
gee, where he is now with, in all, about one hundred
of’liis people. Rrev ions lo Ne»ih-M icco’* flight tho
, hostile indiniiH killed his rattle, and shewed other
demonstrations to rniivincc him that his personal
, safety was incompatible with Ids remaining among
them. The rumors in regard to the conduct of Kenh-
.Micro luivo heeu very cei tiadirtory (ns probably )|
his c(»ur*u! has been, ns he js quite tin old man,) and
we do not vouch for the entire roiTCOlnCPH of the a*
hove, though we can state thnt vvc have received it
from a source entitle-lto full credence. About thir-
rv men and ns many women and children, who nro
; f’i iemllv, fro'ii \eali-M ii co’d ramp, have come in to
the friendly ludians eiicnniprd opposite thi* city.

said, to Ciinmhorscmiutv'. They were obliged tog<»

Oldi Ncnh-Mirro'sramp hns consequently been
brnkx* up, and the hostile Jndiaii* arc concentrating
i on the ilatrluirliiihe© under Eiienli-Mnthla, suppo-
[ seel now to be from one thousand to fifteen hundred
strong. They atc no doubt pr« paring either to give
