W e see by the proceedings of the Legislature the 19th inst., that a hill was introduced in the the Senate on that day to change the mode of electing the .fudge of the Court of Common -Pleas, of this city. Instead of being elected by ‘the Legislature the Judge is to Ik.* chosen by the City Council—the first election, under the change’ lo lake plazre in November 1841. We regret to learn, says the Charleston Mercu ry of yesterday, that the Congestive Fever so fa tal in Barnwell last year, has recently re-appear ed and is now prevailing with great virulence in that District. The New Orleans, Merchants’ Transcript of the 17th states that a number of letters have been received in that city, from the interior of the State, mentioning the shortness of th* Cotton crop in that section of country. Tin- New Orleans Courier mentions the arrival of the brig fvonhoc, at that place on the 15th, the Captain of which states that on the 7th in stant he fell in with two English ships of the line and a brig of war, hound to Vera Cruz. Tcxtis, We b*arn by the San Augustine Redlander, of the 21st ult., that serious apprehensions arc en tertained by sonic of the citizens of Texas, that the United States Indians, settled in Arkansas, have been, and are now removing south of Red ! River, with a view of uniting with the Indians 1 and Mexicans, within the ’units of tins republic | in waging a war of extermination against the! * while population of Texas.” By the Little Rock (Ark.) Gazette, we learn that Gen. A r Ini cl Jo has despatched a portion of his command to Red River, where essential assistance in: y be rendered in pro. tecting that frontier from encroachment, , and | where they may he employed in preventing any \ of the Indian tribes residing north of Red River ‘ F from joining those south of that river, in waging j P war on the citizens of Texas.

They hoped by getting up dissensions in the W hig ranks on the miserable question of retailing a certain amount of sp into us liquors, atid by array ing ail the d-ram drinkers in the community i against the Whig.*, to defeat them. But the Lo. o boco victory so much boasted of in advance has turned out to he a signal discomfiture. The Whig candidate for Governor is elected by a majority op t Iroai ton to twelve thousand votes. The far i grea’er portion, if not the whole of the State | Senate will be composed of staunch, true, and patriotic V» legs, and the Whig majority in the popular branch of the Legislature will he so great that the L.vo Focos of that body will hardlv he oi • sufficient importance to be placed on the muster ; roll. All the candidates far Congress except-two arc known to I** elected. In the Bristol Distric t Mr. Williams, a.

The last account from Michigan rendered high i ly probable, tb.:t the Whig candidate Wells, who ; was far ahead would beat his Loco Foco compe | titor (Vary, and that there would he a Whigma ■ jority on Joint Ballet, so as to send Mr. Lu-ins i Lvon, to private life after the next 4th of March* i and give another Whig to the United States Sen j ate. ill. I Later from f’aa ul i— Another Cattle. lu yesterday's paper we published an -accoun i of an invasion of the Canada Frontier, near the [ town of Prescott. By the Express Mail yoster- I day morning we received intelligence one day later, by which it will Ic seen -that a battle was fought on the 13th. between the Patriots and Loyalists, in which the Loyalists was twice re pulsed with great loss, and finally left the field to wait for reinforcements, for which an express was sent to Kingston. From the Ogden h :rg Times §• Advertiser f Extra. J Kjvembeu 13 th. After six o'clock l ist evening, things remained | very quiet through the night. There were how | ever some reports of cannon during the evening 1 at long intervals. Daring the evening the Telegraph came in, bringing some U. tS." troops with Marshals, &-. i hey too!, possession of the United States. Our citizens held a meeting du ring the evening, to lake measures lor defence, but as our work had hmi delayed hv the confus-on of the day, we could not find lime to attend. Early this morning at was discovered that the armed steamboats Cohourg and Traveller had ar ■ rived with troops. About seven o'clo. k this inoruuig the armed boats opened a lire on the party at the Wind ALII, which soon brought a large body of spectators t * the Mill point the near est American territory. The point on which the Wind Mill stands is one of some twenty feet eleval'on above the Lawrence, The country back rises gently ior | about one hundred and lily rods. The land about ; it is highly cultivated and presents a charming landscape, with orchards, shrubbery an 1 substan ial stone build*ngs. j The Wind Mill i; a circular, massive stone 1 building affording ample skelter against any shots that the boats xyere prepared to throw. 1 The cannonading between the Wind ?»lill and " the three armed siec.mboals continued to be the scene of attraction til! m arly eight o’clock, when a lin ' of firo bldzed along the summit of the hill in ■ rear for about eighty or a hundred rods, and the i crack ol the rillc and musket made a continuous 1 roar. The scene was one of mas; intense cxcite . ment an l s I’.ieitudc. The reflection, that men i full ol high hopes'and ardent (’xpcctalions, were 1 falling by !mu Ireds. was calculated to awaken t!»c i i most painful emotions. The action < n the brow of the hill continued • ; sonic twenty or thirty minutes, when one pariv • gave way, the oilier followed, and the combatants ’ passed out of view over the brow of the Kill; but ' the contest raged fiercely as was evinced by die • continuous roar ol musketry. i Another scene cam -in view a party marched - down by the river road and « pened a warm fire i I upon a stone building in which the rebel forces i ! were quartered. This battle continued with spirit s for some time, when r-t.c ited and ; | the combatants over the mil became fainter and s j fewer, till ahoul nine o’clo-k, when all seemed - I hushed for the moment. The rebel forces were I left in possession of the ground, but they seemed - to lie in no condition to follow the retreating party. b rom nine o'clock till three, there W;is not i much ot excitement in the scene. An irregular t fire was kept up on the Wind Mill, and a body of - regulars sent an occasional volley at a stone house i in which a body of the assaulting party were sheltered. At three o’clock P. M., a barn a short distance from the \\ ind Mill was consumed by fire. This was probably done by the rebels, as the ham af forded a shelter to the loyalists. 7 o'clock, P. M. W e have reports from the field of. battle this evening. It is stated that six hundred regular troops were engaged, besides the volunteer mi litia. Major \ oung, the officer in command at-Pres cott, a brave and excellent officer in the British army, is supposed to have fallen. The report is that the commanding officer fell early in the morning, and that several efforts have been made by the loyalists to recover his body without suc cess. Phe rebel forces were in three detachments. One occupying the Wind Mill, another a stone building, and the. third were posted on the brow of the hill, and sustained most" of the morn ing’s work. It is reported that the field is covered- with the dead and wounded soldiers of the Govern ment. while, so far as was known, but thirteen of the rebels had fallen. The Schooners which brought the invading forces down, was taken this morning by the officers of the United States lor breach of neutrality, though we understand that one of them was a British vessel. So far “ Patriot” forces have sustained themselves against fearful odds and with signal success. W hat the result will be, it is impossible to diet.

Rusk is making the necessary" arrangements to attack these villages with a force sufficiently large to overcome all opposition, and ensure suc cess. A company of lifty-fi*amen left Washing ton about a fortnight ago, and vi is expected, h,ave ere this, joined the army at Fort Houston. Tlie Militia Guards of this numbering sixty men, will leave to-morrow for Tort Houston, and it is expected a hundred and fiW mounted men of the militia will soon follow them, to be under the command of colonel Bonnbl. This force will augment that now with Gen. to sach a degree, that he will be easily enabled to force these Indians from their strong holds, and drive them into the western wilds beyond the Cross Timbers.” W e were sorry to learn from the gentleman to whom we have alhided above, that prospects in the young republic were any thing but favorable to her welfare. The very serious inroads of the , Indians on tb* West, apd the unfortunate cult id* between the departments of ore gorCn? meat, give her allairs a gloomy cast. Texas, however is in her infancy, and whatever troubles she may have to contend iglth, we do not doubt the ability of our countrymen there, to establish a permanent government, and give to their new’ home an enduring prosperity.

Supposed Murder, f The Macon Messenger of Thursday last, says : En tlie 13th inst. the body ofa man wasdiscover lin a hollow log, near Johnson’s Mills, in Jones county ; apparently having l»ccn in that situation eight or ten days. On the body were sixteen oV seventeen cuts and stubs; showing conclusively that lie must have conic to hia death by foul means. Some papers were found on him, by which it ap peared that his name was Elias M. Isaacs,—some of them were bills for tlie purchase of Jewelry in Albany, Utica, and Syracuse, N. Y. A note was found, addressed to him by a Mr. Whitney of New \ork, who appeared to have been his counsel in some difficulty he had been involved in respecting jjhc purchase, or possession of Jewelry. The only light that has been elicited respecting him, is, that a person who was supposed to be a french Jew, answering to his name and descrip tion, was in this city a few days, and left here on the sth inst. in a Jersey wagon, with a man by the name of Williams, a Ventriloquist, and slight of hand performer : and another individual, who appeared to be-an Italian. While here the murdered man was engaged in peddling Jewelry, and claimed to have the value of three to four thousand dollars in watches, Jew elry and money; which probably was the imme diate cause of lihjmiier. No money, or jew elry was found «Htn him, except a ring, which he who left here with him, were seen ct the place where tlie body was found, the morning after they left here. Os course strong suspicions arc fixed on |he persons who accompanied the murdered man from this place, and tlie public would do well to he on a lookout for the perpetrators of such a foul deed.

Three men have been committed t«> J;*il in Lorain, charged with having been concerned in the unparalleled outrage.

Dear Sir— • The tragedy is over. The bnrve fellows, after defying the power of Upper Canada for five days have at last been fairly overpowered and crushed by numbers. The scene has liccn a regular butch : Try* That one hundred and fifty men, (which ™—^""* lil T ,, itTnrnrsi~ir» ■■■ i j, eoulJ have resisted such force as has been brought against them seonts impossible. You, of course, saw by the two papers I have sent you, all that had taken place up lo hist even ing. I will now give you the rest. During last night, two steamboats arrived from above, loaded with troops and cannon for the Brit ish. About three or half past two, P. M. having made their arrangements, the British fort e com menced the attack. The land fjrcc numbered probably between 1500 and 2100, with 3 large pieces of cannon, and a company of cavalry—the water force, two steamboats completely filled with cannon and regulars, each towing a large gi n boat or floating battery, lilted up likewise wiu large cannon, and soldiers brought from the Fori at Kingston, The batteries having anchored be low the Windmill, beyond rifle distance, -tin . steamboats came up in front. The land force formed a circle completely around, (hut at keep ing their distance,) the back side, or from above, on the river to a point below. And, fixing then cannon at throe points, the whole force at o.ict commenced a tn ra -ndous lire upon-them. Prob aby ten pie*ces oi cannon were uil pouring tbeii bails upon one point, and so continued until daik. But sliauie lo the English. It is a blot whu. will forever rc. ton them. May the Almighty pour liis wrath upon them'. About five o’clock « white flag was waved from the Mill, and finally fastened on the outside. The British paid no at tention to it. Shortly after two men, one bearing the :.ag. proceeded to one. of the bonis. They were about midway between, when the boah opened a volley of musketry upon them. The flag hearer ck^ped —the other run buck and fa gained tlmriViill. Is this civilized England, am. in the nineteenth century 1 During the forenoon, the British had sent a flag for permission from the Patriots to take away their d. ad, and it Wa> granted. But how was this favor returned ? The curse of every honest man rest upon the cowards: But to continue. This tremendous cumioimdt c .nt nucd until darkness covered the combatant.-. Suddenly a tremendous fire of small arms broke out around tbe circle, which Listed for ten to fit ted! minutes, then all was still. From informa tion since obtained, the Patriots, finding their situation untenable and no mercy to In* exported, made a general rush on the troops—hut how many . . s* ' 1 sny nohfC spirits'‘aYC now- laid low ! yount. men most of them were, anJ of true spirit am] courage, who had been delude I and led away. f>evcral, I was acquainted w ith. They were ful of patriotism. But what shall I say of theii leaders! Theeowar.ls! may eternal disgraet f -ilaw them ! Bill Johnstone, the coward. Bur gess, Eustace and others, at til some 150 or 20( ofjheirprivates. They have liuiu; about here, and have not dared t t go over to them, or to earn any relief.—However, they have run away, other wise our citizens would have far'd and feathered tlic.it. Knowing tie ir desperate situation, sonti of us last night procured a small steamboat, and. evading the guard boats of the British went to them, but owing to misrepresentations only f, would come back. Our British neighbors have illuminated and are rejoicing. About 20b() troops and 2 batteries with 3 steamboats, have at last driven or murdered 118 men, after 5 days work. A glorious victory! i’be patriot General Van .'’diultz has covered him self with glory. ~ ■ .
