Georgia.
1’irl.—'The alarm of lira last night, about 11
O’clock, was caused by the burning of a quantity
of hay in the stable attached to the dwelling occu*
pi- .i by Mrs. Gota abb, and owned by Mr*. Man-
shall, on President-street. It is euppoeod to be
the work of an incendiary, as there was no occa
sion for using lights about the stable during tbe
evening. __
QCp- Tho schooner C. A. L. Lamar, Captain
Liqhtsoobmb, from Havana, arrived here yester
day afternoon in 4 days. We learn from Cap
tain L., that all was quiet at Havana when be
left.
0J. We are requeeted to state that there will be
divine eervice Jn8t. John’s (Episcopal) Church
to-morrow, beginning at 10J o’clock A. M., and
at 4) o'clock P. M.
Tub Paviluok.—Our readers will be surprised
to hear this new name applied to a bouse in this
city for the entertainment of strangers. For the
sake of convenience, however, this distinctive ap
pellation has been given to the house just opened
by Mr. W. P. Cabkb in the west wing of the
building known as the Academy—the property
of the Union Society of Savnnnah.
It gives us plraauie to recommend this estab
lishment to those visiting this city. They will
find there a perfectly neat, genteel and orderly
house, good beds, and one of the best tables in
tho Southern country, as all tho boarders at the
bouse kept by Mr. Clabeb during the last sea-
eon in Congress-street will willingly testify.—
The position of the Pavillion is one of the most
central in tho city and surpassed by no other in
the beauty and tranquility of its neighborhood.
Tbe building in question has been thoroughly
renovated—new passages have been opened for
the admission of light and air, piazzas have been
added on two sides, and generally, improvement
has been introduced into every part of the estab
lishment. Among tbe most marked changes,are
those in the basement, which has been thorough
ly regenerated and purified from its ancient con-
d it inn of uselessness. The north side of this
basement is devoted to a spacious and most
beautiful dining room some forty-five feet long,
furnished with an inviting entrance and with
every necessary appliance. Those who have once
experienced the kind ’attentions of Mr. Clabkb
and hia amiable wife, will sustain our recom
mendations, so far as their exertions to make
their guests happy and comfortablo are con
cerned. See advertisement.
Tsatzl oi* thb Tbnxessbb.—Onr friend who
accompanied us on our late trip to the interior,
reminds us that we have omitted to notice in our
letters the steamer Ellen While, plying on the
TeuueSsee. It la one of the last omissions which
wo ought to have made. The Ellen While can
be safely recommended to all travellers in ibis
quarter as a safe, well managed, and comfortable
boat. Capt Spa ass, her commander, cannot well
be surpassed in all these kind and obliging atten
tions which are so much valued. Ho is moat ably
seconded by Mr. Fbexch, the polite clerk of tbe
boat, whoso intelligence and good manners emi
nently qualify him for his position.
Thb Wilksb Rail-Road.—We ar« pleased to
learn through a friend just front Washington,
Wilkes county, that the construction of the Rail-
Road from that point to Double Wells is placed
beyond a contingency. The spirited citizens of
Wilkes furnish tbe capital (say 8 ICO to 8180,
000) and securo the right of way for the whole
33 miles. The Georgia Rail-Road charges itself
with the construction of tho work, and on its
completion run their cars over it, and Uke entire
charge of its management, guarantying |to the
stockholders the same dividends as those received
by.tbe stockholders of the Georgia Road.
Literary Notices.
We are indebted to the publisher* for the fol
lowing new work*, which may be found at the
bookstore of Col. Williams
History or tub Pout AoMiaisTasTtoa—by Luclen B.
Chase—a member of the Stttli and %Hb Congresses.—
Ncw-York: George P. Putnim.
Time was when it was deemed proper to wait
a little before writing a history of events but just
transpired. Authors Itave existed who doubled
their own ability to be Impartial, and who have
accordingly left their "memoires pour tervir” for
tho future historian. But he of tbe work before
us has no such apprehensions. He is a “manifttl
destiny" man—an “ indefinite extension” pro
gressist, and he plunges iuto his work with the
fervor and diligence of a thorough paced politi
cian who deems it quite time that all the rest of
the world should think as ho does. Presuming
no doubt that many persons think differently
from him, he enters upon his task with the reso-
Iuto determination to convince them all. The
amiable and judicious publisher of this work will
not, we are sure, be surprised, that we in this of-
lieu who have fought so stoutly against tbe doc
trines which this book inculcates, should hesitate
a little about recommending it to the reading
public. We cannot say that “no library should
be without it," although U is a work which
will not disgrace any library. It is compact
ly written, its discussions are in good temper,
and tho author gives both sides of many im
portant questions. Tbe annotations are copi
ous and valuable. Like tboeeof Bowditch attach
ed to the great work of Laplace, they often leave
but little room on tho page for tho text. We
might add, that tbe volume baa a little too much
boast in it. Every one knows that we have a
country embracing (almost) every variety of soil
and climate—that we have a great many good
qualities, &c.; but it is better to be praised hy
another, and not ourselves. It is better that a
stranger, for, example, should have written the
fol.owing extract:
“ Wo havo a country of vast and illimitable re
sources, possessing every variety of soil and cli
mate which the heart can desire; whilo national
justice, untninglcd with pride, will enable us to
say that no country is blessed with inhabitants so
gallant, patriotic, enterprising, scientific, and
moral, as those within tbe borders of tbe Ameri
can Union.’’

Without stopping to give a lengthened notice

our opinion that it is, without any question, the
most interesting of all tbo monthly publications
now issued in this country. It ia published month

fore us are unsurpassed io interest and in their
instructive character. * In short, its pages contain

Tbe characteristic! of thia work are precision,
condensation, and luminous arrangement. It
ia precisely what it pretends to be—a manual, a
sure and conscientious guide for the aludent

rather indicated than developed;—but ail the
great principle* of this extensive period are care
fully laid down, and tbe most important facta
skilfully grouped around them. There is no
period of history for which it is more difficult to
prepare a work like this, end none for which it is
so much needed.

The publication of books of which tho origin is
Thb Addbbss op tub Nashville Convention
has been laid before our readers, all of whom, vfe
trust, havo given it a careful perusal. The gen
eral tone of the document is commendable. It is
calm and dispassionate, neither indulging in
threats, nor intemperate language. The history
which it presents, in the first part, of the constant
aggressions of the north, and tbe effects upon our
interests of the former policy of the south, is
given with much truth and force.
U is to be regretted that we cannot eatend
our commendation further. The reasoning of
the address, in opposition to the Compromise of
the committee of thirteen, is most disingenuous. It
amounts almost toa suppretsioveri. For instance,
in regard to the boundary liuo of Teaas and New
Mexico, the address contends that tbe Compro-
mite eeeks to transfer a Urge portion of
Texan territory, now slave territory, to New
Mexico, where it will become free soil. Tho fal
lacy *nd disingenuousness of this position are at
once evident, wheu it U remembered that nearly
the entire aoulb, and doubtless every member of
the Convention, haa always held that the mo
ment Now Mexico and California wero trans
ferred to us the constitution of the United Suites,
proprio vigors, extended over them. The old auti-
slavery Mexican laws yielded to'the constitution,
under which we enjoy tho same right to carry
our slave property to tho territories that tho farm
er of Massachusetts has to go there with hit prop
erty. Such is the doctrine of the south and of the
Nashville Convention. How, then, can tho aim
pie transfer of a portion of tho disputed territory
from Texas to New Mexico, make free soil out of
what is now slave soil? It cannot be done, and
tho Convention must have known it. Indeed
tho very bill which they vehemently attack con
tains a section rejecting the Wilmot Proviso,
and leaving the whole question of slavery to be
disposed of by the people of tbe territory when
they como to adopt a slate constitution, and
among them, by tho sUveholdeie who may be in
corporated into it from Texas.
But grant that the old Mexican lew, tho lex
loci, prohibiting slavery, is still in force, and wo
ask whether the Texan law, which tolerates sla
very, would not upon the same principle remain
in force in such part of her territory as was trana
forred to New Mexico? Tho fallacy of such
reasoning is too apparent to esenpo the de
tection of the moat superficial reader. What
surprises us most, is that tbe Convention should
reuouuce a principle almost universally nc-
acknowledged at the south, for tiio purpose of at
tacking the Compromise. it should be remem
bered too, in Ibis connection, that thus far it is
not known whether this territory belongs to Tex
as or New Mexico. It is disputed territory. It is
wrong tbeicfore, to say that it is taken from one
and given to tbe other. Aloreuver, Texas is not
bound to consent to tbe transfer. Tbe bill only
purports to make “proposals’’ to her, and it is
left to her to decide whether she will accept them
or not.
Tbe reasoning of the address upon other por
tions of the Compromise is of a character with the
foregoing. If Ibo Convention had recommended,
and not opposed, the Compromise, it would have
conferred a signal servico upon the country, and
in all probability ensured its success in the House
of Representatives. Instead of this, it suggests
the Alissouri Compromise, which nearly all the
southern legislatures that have met within tbe
past two years, and among them the democratic
legislature of this stale, have united in condemn
ing. Wo think the plan is wholly impracticable,
and not half so just to tho south as the Commit
tee’s Compromise. Tho Convention muet have
been satisfied that it could not be adopted. It
was so advised from Washington , but this, per
haps, was its greatest recommendation. Even
this, however, they do not think it right for us to
propose. If tho north will offer it, then we will
condescend to accept it. Wo sro called upon to
make a stand not only upon our rights, but upon
etiquetto also, and if uced be to dissolve the Union
upon a punctilio! Such a feeling is uufoituiinte
at a time when the good and patriotic of tho
land aro endeavoring to adjust great and danger
ous questions, before which all manner of eti
quette sinks into utter insignificance.

that hU income would not l» $16,000 becauso ho
made twenty thousand bushels rice nnd sold it at
eighty cents. Another, that ho cannot be a cot

at fifty dollar*—producing 818,000 would not
give him that amount of income—for thej-o are
shoes, clothes, overseers, doctor’s bills, &c. to bo

which he does not want to improve himeelf or l«t
any body else, but who is gltd to receive all the
time an increase of rente and diminution of
taxes—who thinks becauso a man earns his
money in large sume and spends U freely and

[commdnicatbd.]
Messrs. Editort:—Your correspondent, “ Veeti-
galie," leaves your readers to infer from his re
marks on taxation, several serious fallacies
1st. That tho Commission merchants of Savan
nah would pay no other tax, If none were levied
un their commissions, whereas nearly all pay a
tax on real estate, negroes or stock in (ratio—or
as interested in wharf or cotton press property.
3d. That it is an income tax such »* every body
directly or indirectly pays. Such Is not the fact,
for hia rents, clerk-hire and other Incidental ex
penses, must come off Ids commissions to make
them income, to any nothing of bad debts. 1 can
name several houses in this place, who tills i
son in their anxiety to gel business, have over
advanced to their customers more than their
whole earnings by commissions, and which may
bo an entire loss to them. I have known since
tho commission tax lias been levied, houses to
lose all their commissions by bad debts, yet have
to pay the whole tax. Therefore tho tax is not
upon fnromc.
3d. Your correspondent “Fair Play’’points out
another, in considering income from real estato
or invested property, tho Mine sa that arising
from one's personal efforts, labor and influence.
The former one can bequeath to Ids children, tho
latter expires with him oi ends with Ids power to
labor.
These differences or fallacies should be kept in
mind to form a correct idea of the subject, else
specious arguments would make •* the worse

Thb Connecticut Leoislatobb.—The Sena
torial branch of (lie Legislature have refused to
adopt a scries of Resolutions on tho subject of
Slavery, reported by tho Committee on Federal
Relations. Sit resolves were reported; first, in
favor of the admission of California without any
Slavery relation. Secondly, declaring that as
Slavery did not exist in iho acquired territory, it
was expedient for Congress to act in reference to
it. 3d, That whilo Slavery remained in Mary
land it was inexpedient to abolish Slavery in the
District of Columbia. 4lh, That the Compromise
Rill before tbe Senate should bo supported, and
6lb, Submitting a copy of these Resolves to Sena
tors and Representatives through the Governor.
All these resolutions were rejected by votes many
from 6 nnd 7 to 14 and 16. The following only
was adopted : yeas 17 nays 4.
Ilesotctd, That it Is expedient lo prohibit with
in the District Ihe Slave Trade, in Slaves brought
Into it from States or places beyond tiio limits of
the District, either lo be sold therein as merchan
dise, or lo be transported to other markets, with
out the District of Columbia.
The Senate of Connecticut by a vole qf 11 to

ment. .
Oca Relations with St. Dominoo.—Tbe
Washington correspondent of Ihe Journal qf Com-
meree lias the following upon St. Domingo :
“Tho United Stales have bccoino, through the
force of circumstances, (he arbiter of the future
destiny ofCulie nod of Si. Domingo. The con
dition uf Ibo latter Island,—two-ihirds of it now
under the control of the Spanish population, and
(he other third constituting the IJuyticn Govern
ment.—and (ho relentless warfare carried on be-
twecu the two communities,—is now such, that the
Government of the United States,—by nun-inter
ference, or hy interference—must decide tho fu
ture political cemliiioii of iho Islond.
“ If our people be. suffered to take any part in
the conflict, it will be on the side of Hie European
race, and against the black government. There
is every reason to believe, that something is go
mg on in reference to this matter, mid thut nn
expedition from tho United Stales will, at no dis-
taut day. strengthen tho resources of Ihe Domini
cans. What this Government is to do, in Ihe
event that the Island should be brought under the
subjection cither of Spain or or American adven
turers, will become u serious question.
“ 1 do not suppose that tho United Stales will
undertake to bully tho black Emperor, Fnuslin
1st—though somo tendency that way may have
been supposed lo exist. But if, by resources which
may, by our citizens, be furnished to the Domin
icans, they shall subject the blacks to their do
minion, mid perhaps to domestic slavery; nnd if
thu American and Spanish masters of the Irlaud
ask for annexation to the Union, and for a Terri
torial or Colonial Government, or for protection
against Spain or Franco or England—or all
three—it will create a new and dark looking ques
tion—and it will arise in time to take tho place of
the present slavery conflict in Congress, should it
be fortunately settled.”
This is certainly a dark looking question, in
reference to which we have only tossy "sufficient
unto tiie day is (be evil thereof.” We have quite
enough of dark looking questions at homo to per
plex us just now without going abroad in search
of adventure.

paper, tbe amendment of Mr. Soule, that states
applying to come into tiio Union should be ad

A discussion arose on tiio amendment, in which
Messrs. Baldwin, Dayton, Cabs, Wibbtbr, Sa-
ward, Soule, Atkinson, Dodob, of low*, But-

Mr. SswAan said that bo would have voted for

herself as a slave atato.
Mr. Wbbstbb staled that ho should vote for
tho amendment, though he thought it useless.
His opinions on tho subject were tho same that
they wero on the7th March. He expressed strong
ly his desire lo promoto a settlement of thie ques

Mr. Docolass said the people had a right to
como iuto tho Union, either as slaveholding or
nun.slnveholdlng states. Ho sew no reseon why
ho should not declare thie when it came eo fairly
in our way. If there was any doubt about tho
principle it ought to be expressed.

introduce a resolution making the several appro
priation bills the special order of the day for the
31th of Juno, and for each day thereafter, at ono

the rules to enablo tyin to introduce n resolution
providing fur the adjournment by tho cunsent of

tho 12th day of August, at 12 o'clock. The House

The House, on tho motion of Mr. Nelson,
agreed to suspend tho rules to receive a rcsolu-

Mr. Burt moved a resolution, w’ldch was agreed

Texas and New Mexico.— Tho Prealdont
transmitted to the U. S. Senate, on Monday, tiie
following message:
Washington, Juno 17tli, 1860.
7’o the Senate qf the United Slalte:
I have received a copy of Ihe resolution of tiie
Senate of Ihe lltli June instant, requesting me
” to inform (lie Senate whether nny orders have
been issued to any military officer or officers nt
Sants Fc, to hold possession against tho nuthority
of Texas, or in any way to embarrass, or pro-
vent tho exercise of tier jurisdiction over tint
country—and to furnish Ihe Scnntu with copies«.f
any correspondence which may have taken placo
between the War Department and the military
stationed at Santa Fo, since tbe date of my last
communication to (lie Senate on (lint subject.”
In reply lo (list resolution, I slate that no surh
orders have been given. 1 herewith present to
the Senate copies of all tbo correspondence refer
red to in Iho resolution. All tlicfollier orders re
lating to the subject*mailer of the*resolution havo
been heretofore communicated to tho Senate.
I have already, in a former message, referred
to the fnct that (he boundary between Texas uiul
New Mexico is disputed. I have now to slate
that inforninlioti has been recently received,
“tat a certain Robert S. Neighbours, styling
himarif commissioner of tho Stato of Texns,
tins proceeded to Santa Fe with a view of organ-
izmg countries in that district under tho au
thority of Texas. While I have no power lo
decide tho question of boundary, and no
desire to interfere with it ns a question of tltlo,
I have to olncrvo that the possession of the terri
tory into which it appears that Mr. Neighbours
has thus gone wns actually acquired by tnc Uni
ted States from Mexico, nnd has since been held
by tho United Stales, and in iny opinion ought
ao to remain until the question of boundnry shall
have l»cen determined by aoine competent author
ity- Meanwhile, I think there is no reason for
seriously apprehending that Texas will practi
cally interfere with the possession of the United
States. • Z. TAYLOR.
Public Debt.—Tiio United States, we believe,
is tho only nation that ever paid off a National
debt iu full, priucipal and interest.
Kah-ob-oa-oah-boui is to go as a representa
tive of the North American Indians to the peaco
convention in Germany. He will, doubtless, be
a wclcomo guest of tho friends of peace in Europe*
03- Sixty thousand immigrants have arrived
at the port of Now-York since the 6lh of April.
03-The Notches Courier of tho 7th inat., aaya t
“Father Mathbw administered tho pledge, on
Sunday Inst, Iu Vicksburg, tn about 100. The
grand total Is now noerly fivojpillion eight hun
dred thousand.
Dela wake Powdbr.—The most extensive pow-
der mills In the wot Id bio (hose on the Urandy wine,
In Delaware,and tbe beat powder mndo iaat theee
mills. They manufactured last year 2,600,000
pounds, which would, allowing a ton for n load,
make 1,260 wagon loads, and require 2,600 horses
to draw them. These, on the road, would make
a train seven miles long, nnd at an average price
of 12} cents per pound, would amount to Ihe large
sum of $312,600.
Bestial Depravity in Pittsbubo.—The Ga
zette of the above named city, says that the latest
(levclopnnent of unmitigated malicious mischief
there, is thnt of throwing oil upon iho dresses of
ladies, ns they walk tho streets. A few days ago
ihe Editor was shown a silk dress, completely
saturated with oil, which had been thrown upon
it aoinawhcro in tho street. On Tuesday, no less
than four Indies had fine silk dresses ruined by
being saturated with oil, as they were walking
the streets, and there mny be others. So far, the
villain or villains, havo not been detected. Their
rnmity seems especially directed lo silk dresses,
no others being tho subjects of this malicious
mischief.
Mississippi Cotton Crop.—Tiio Jnrkson Mis-
sissippiun of the 7th instant, says: “Since pub
lishing our last statement of the crops oi Missis
sippi, we have received letters from about fifteen
additional counties. We are sorry to say that
we have never in our life known a more gloomy
proapret. We shall not make 360,000 bales in
tho Stato; tbe number ought to be 700,000 bales
nt least.” v i
Louisville, Ky., Junb 17.—Steamboat Disas
ter.—Tho steamer Gladiator bound to New Or-
leans with a heavy and very \ aluable cnrgo^truck
a anng near Salt river and soon afterwards ship
ped several feet of water. Sho was compelled to
put back to New Albany, where she unloaded
and underwent repairs. The damage to the boat
was considerable, and to the cargo very heavy.
Columbia, Pa., Junb 19.—Dnfrucfics Firs.—A
fire broke out this morning in Columbia, Lancas
ter county, Pa., which, before tho flames could
bo subdued, destroyed nn entire block of build
ings. Tho Printing office of the Columbia Spy
nnd tho car house of tho riailroad adjoining, are
in ashes. Some thirty families are rendered
bousclsss by tiie calamity. Tbe entire loss is not
loss than $50,000, which is partly covered by in
surance.
Coal TaaDsor tub Ohio.—Tlienmountofcoat
now annually mined on the bnnks of the Ohio
nnd tho tributaries cannot bo leas than thirty-five
millions of bushels, worth, at the points of con
sumption. not less than two and a half millions tf
dollars. Tiie rate of yearly increase is probably
not less than 30 and perhaps 36 per cont. At
New-Orleaus, tills rate of increase is said (o be
more tbau 33 percent, per annum; and tbo year
ly consumption of that city is said to havo reach,
cd 3,000,000 of bushels.
There aro no coal mines between Capo Horn
and Vancouver’s Island, and (he Panama nnd
San Francisco steamers are supplied with Liver
pool nnd Pennsylvania coal at a cost of some
$30 per ton, nnd by railroad or canal, tho Ohio
coal can be furnished at less thnn one-third uf
that price. We may look, by and by, for an enor
mous increase of this consumption. England,
with not ouc-cighlh of Iho coal lauds wo have in
the United States, uses twenty limes tho amount
raised from our coni mines, but the sale, by and
by, must be enormously increased here, aud per
haps diminished there.
Twenty years ago, says tho Louisvile Journal,
tho idea of using coal as fuel ou river steamboats
was regarded as preposterous, and now it is a
question whether (his will not, in a few years, ho
the fuel exclusively used ou boats between Pita-
burg and Now Orleans.
Queen Victobia.—The recent addition to the
family of Queen Victoria has furnished another
proof of her desire that the succession to the crown
of Eugland shall not fail for want of legal claim
ants. Sho is tho mother of seven children, al
though iu tho thirty-second year of her age; and
■he bids fair to berome mother to as largo a fami
ly as her grand-niotlirr Charlotte, the Queen of
George tbe Third, who was mother of fifteen
children. But rapidly as Queen Victoria’s fami
ly lias Increased, vizi seven children within ten
years ami three mouths of her Uiarringe, ah* Is
no circumstance to her grand.inolher, who, mar
ried on September 8th, 1761, became tho mother
of tho following children:
George the Fourth, boin 13th Aug., 1762; Duke
of York, born 16lh Aug., 1763; Dukeof Clnrcnco,
born 21st Aug., 1766;.Princess Charlotte, born
29th Sept., 1766; Duke of Kent, born 2d Nov.,
1767; Princess Augusta, born 8th Nov., 1760;
Princess Elizabeth, born 22d May, 1770} Duke of
Cumberland, born 6th June, 1771.
Eight children within nine years and nine
months of her marriage, and being, at tho Idrth
of Iho IJuko of Cumberland, her eighth child,
only 27 yearn End 17 days old. This is an official
statement. •

Mbssrs. Toombs and Wintmbop.—During a
recent debato iu the House of Representstives |
Mr. Toombs denounced tho ehiftingoourso of Mr.
Winthrop on the slavery question. Mr. Win-
THRor said In reply!
He did not acknowledge the right of any mem
ber uf that House tn cnllhiin into (lie debate; aud
atill less wits ho disposed to admit thnt there wne
any thing in tho pursonal rotations subsisting bo-
tween thu gentleman from Georgia [Mr. Toombs]
and Idmeolf, which nulhoriEcd that gentleman to
indulge in speculations upon Ida purposes and
views, lie would only say, that if the gentleman
from Georgia intended an insult to him, hy using
tho word “fraud” in cunuccliou with Ids name,
he should iravo tho imputation to recoil upon (he
gentleman himself. He had pursued, during his
connection with tho Congress of tbe United Slates,
a porhul of about ten yoars, a policy that wns
clear in Ihe sight of mun nnd uf God; lin had
dono nothing for tho purpose of evasion or cquivo-
ration. He had again nml again declared his
purpose to vote for tho ndmissiun of California as
nn isolated mcnauro. Ho was in favor of her ad
mission precisely in the condition in which she
had presented herself. And ho would, therefore,
vote against ovrry amendment, of whatever shape
or kind U might be, thnt would have a tendency
to embarrass or impede (lie passage of the bill
under consideration. Ho enred nut wlmt tho na
ture of Iho amendment might be, whether it was
for slavery or against it, whether it was for the
line of 36* 30’ or against it; he would vole against
every amendment thnt might bo offered, that did
not pertain directly and purely tu tho bill for tho
admission of California.
Mr. TooMssssid, tho member from Boston (Mr.
Wimhrnp] denies my right, from our relations,
tu call liiin to Ihe Hour. Call Idiu lo Iho floor!
Whether lie comes to Iho floor or not, is a matter
wholly indifferent to me; but if ho supposes Hint,
because I thought him unfit to preside over this
House, that therefore Ills speeches nnd public ca
reer hero are exempt from my criticism sod such
comment* as I may choose tu make upon cither,
ho is mistaken. As to his hypothetical remarks
about “hurling back insults,” I find such ro*
marks, from such u source, difficult to reply io,
especially as I make it a point tint lo quarrel here;
but it ho is responsible as a gentleman for wlmt
ho utters ns n member of this House, nml will
drop his hypothesis, and put down his hands as
becomes n gcntleinnn, 1 shall then bo relieved of
all difficulty in tbo case.

Lath from thb Rto Grandb.—Accounts from

the Indians. Capt. Ford, of tho Rangere, has
had three different engagements with them, du-
ring which 16 Indians were killed and one white.
It is stated that Gen. Arista's plate captured
