The number of passengers on board is thus stat

Not a female or child was saved excepting the bur-
ber’s wife.
The number of those saved on tho beech was
only 40. None of the books were saved, therefore
a list of names of passengers cannot be given.
The accident has been attended with n fearful loss
of life, ns fen rful as any we have ever lmd, and
every means should betaken to ascertain tho cause
of tho disaster nnd the namesof those whoperished.

Dreadful Affair nt Hie Gila—Indian Massa
cre.
San Diego, April. 29.
There has been a terrible affair at the mouth of the
Gila. Some Americans stopped there to ferry pas
sengers, &c. &o. over the Rio Colorado. On last
Tuesday, tho 28th, a party of 4 or 500 Indians attack
ed them, about noon, uud killed 11 of them. Three
only made their escape and come into town. There
had been fifteen or twenty thousand Seuoreaus and
others, who had been crossing the river during the
last three months, and Ihe ferry companj'had nearly
seventy thousand dollars. The Indians carried oil’
the money nnd provisions nnd burned Ihe houses.—
There hud been stories of tile extortion, &e., of the
Americans at the Ferry.
Since this affair we learn that the Indians conceive
themselves to he nt war with us, and I fear thutinno-
„cent emigrants will sutler.
From Ilnvnnn.
The steam ship Isabel, Capt. Rollins, left Havana
on Wednesday last, for this port and Charleston. It
was presumed she would arrive mi Friday night or
Saturday morning, and the steamer J. Stone, Capt.
Freeland, went down to communicate with her,
nnd remained below until 9 o’clock on Saturday mor
ning, when, not meeting the steamer she returned to
the city. 'The Isabel passed our bar on Saturday last
between 12 und 1 o’clock, and placed her mails for
this city ou board the Pilot boat O. M. Cummings,
and they were placed in the Port oliice early on Sat
urday afternoon.
lly this arrival we are in receipt of commercial ad
vices to the 18th, and the letter of our attentive Ha-
vunn correspondent, of the 19th inst. The political
intelligence is of very little interest, being nothing
more than a confirmation of the accounts brought by
the Lamar, and published by us in our paper of Sat
urday. Our correspondent Eays—
“Tile excitement caused by the late expedition, lins
subsided, but the militia is organized, not only here,
but in other of the principal towns. The different
corps are subjected to a regular process of drilling.
“Nothing decisive is yet known, respecting the men
who were taken in the captured vessel. It seems
there are not so many of them as was at first suppos
ed.
“ The Falcon is in from Chngres with 94 passengers
for the United States, und we understand, with value
of $401) or $500,000 in gold dust, «fcc. We do not
learn that she brings any important news from Cali
fornia.
“The cholera lias decreased in this city, but is in
creasing in tile country, mid a considerable destruc
tion ol life has ensued among tho laborers on the
plantations. The loss of labor from such a cause is
serious, because pluntcrshavenosourceopen to them,
under present circumstances, from which they can
repl ace it."
By reference to the circular of Messrs. Burnham,
Sc (Jo, which will be found in another column, it will
be seen that tile cholera is extending its ravages
throughout the planting districts, and that from tho
great mortality attending it, it is likely to have a very
serious influence upon tho Agriculturists of the Is
land. the same circular suys the cholera still exists
in the city, and the cuscs occurring are not numer
ous.”
Congressional Proceedings.
Washington, June 18.
•Senate.—‘After memorials, the adjustment bill
wns tuken up.
Mr. Davis, of Miss., moved to afnend so ns to pro
vide that all pre-existing laws of raid territories,
which restrict the enjoyment of any rights exercised
under the constitution and laws of the United States,
he hereby repealed.
Mr. Hale moved to add the following :
“Provided, That nil laWs abolishing slavery in
Mexico be excepted from this repealing clause.”
Mr. Foote opposed the proviso.
Mr. Clay opposed the amendment and the proviso.
He thought it had been already decided not to inter
fere witli the lex loci, nor abrogate nor recognise
any loral law. He was willing to leave the question
to the judiciary of the United States. The matter
was already settled by the provision adopted in the
tenth section, which is that slavery be neither pro
hibited nor abolished.
Mr. Davis, of Mass., said his amendment merely
asserted that the Constitution of the United States
should be paramount, on Mexican soil, to uiiy local
laws. If we had acquired territory l>y blood nnd
treasure, ought not our Constitution be extended
over it 1 Why should our citizens he compelled to
go into expensive nnd tedious law suits to assert
their rights. He sought to amend the hill; but if it
could not be—if it was intended to maintain the lo
cal law of Mexico, lie could not support the bill.
Mr. Pratt said the local law was annulled by the
exntion of the territories. This was his opinion

The Nauvoo Again
Hondo, Morning, June 24, 1S50
\ Tlie Agriculturalists of England.
I he war still goes on, in England, between the pro-
unfits slid the advocates of tree trade. Accor
to an article in the last number of Blackwood
farmers are in the most deplorable condition
"ug to tlie competition of foreign corn, nnd having
vo every cent in order to pay their rents, pur-
c little or nothing nt tho stores. Hence the or-
of the Liverpool nnd Manchester dealers hnve
•i off' frightfully, olidn general stagnation of the
■ resulted. It la very clear that free trade enn-
•o kept up in England, without a reduction of
•ants or the total ruin of tho present race of fur-
the other hand, the protectionists undoubtedly
■; rate the sufferings of the agriculturalists. The
•rovements of science have enabled farmers to
crops mfu'.h more cheaply than formerly, nnd
o they are able to sell their corn nt a lower
■ than of old, though nut perhaps quite as low ns
are compelled to now. Mr. Chadwick, in a
peeehbcforc the Farmers’ Club, brings this fact
iconj, follows:
The increase of population in England und Wnles
is nt the rate of upwards of 230,990 annually,
h according to my computation, would require
rati inereasnof territory under ordinary eulti-
n. equal to such a country ns Cambridge or War-
, i. r.. a total amount oi' land equal to 109,009
, of good pasture laud annually; or, what is bet-
iu increased production by high and improved
. atlon on tlie same land, equal to the ordinary
•non of such n space under good cultivation.
, when we know wlmt has been done on such
as Lincoln Heath; when he know that laud
was once thought only capable of growing
now in summer hours heavy crops of corn ;
i we know how much of tho same land there is
jchnd by tenant farmers, eitrli us many of those
il have the honor to address; when I know
even when drain tiles, which now may he made
I OS. a thousand, cost, 40s., and the expense ot
ling was three or fourfold the present charge
at permanent expense was bn tho average re-
I,y the increased produce in three years ; when
>w that only a small per centage of the land bus
•eon raised by drainage and other labor to the
, r condition for the reception of seed ; when I
v that the immense mass of manure which now
\tes as tilth tho atmosphere of towns, hits yet to
mvayed and properly distributed into your fields

• that there is no ground for doubting the cnpnbih-
f English agriculture to do more than pro-
for the new comers. Unfortunately it yet de
ls too much on administration and legislation,
her the new comers come as consumers of your
Tee without return, or as producers aiding and
uncrating your exertions. That you nmypleus-
iiiul successfully achieve your task, it appenrs

Removal.
•With a view to bringing our editorial, business and
printing offices together, nnd to render ourselves
more accessible to the public, wo hnve removed to
tlie building on the Bay, formerly occupied by the
Marine Bank, where our friends will find us in future.
For the accommodation of our patrons nud the pub
lic, wa are fitting up tlie large Bank room in front for
a Publication Office and Reading Room, where we
design keeping, on file the commercial and other pa
pers of the principal cities, together with the daily
papers of Savannah, (a courtesy which lias thus far
not been extended to us by our cr,temporaries) and
where tho public will have access at all times to our
Bulletin Board) Cotton nnd Shipping Register ns
well ns other sources of reference, nnd information
useful to the man of business.
In making this change we have necessarily incurr
ed considerable expense, but wo feel encouraged to
believe that the increased business facilities so essen
tial to the growing patronage of the Mews will fully
indemnify us lor the outlay.
Owing to a disappointment in getting our fixtures
ready iu time, we will not be enabled to arrange our
Iteiiding-room files for a few days. Our present plan
does not contemplate a very pretending establish
ment. It is a beginning, however,and we will endea
vor to make it available for nil practicable purposes.
For the present it will be free to our patrons and tho
public, to whom wq extend a cordial invitation to
avail themselves of whatever advantages it may af
ford. .Should we hereafter find it advisable to ex
tend it, and place it on a different looting, wo will
not fail to make it ill every respect worthy of our city,
and tlie patronage of our citizens.
Tlie Concert.
' Armory Hall was crowded on Friday night to wel
come Madame Bisiior to the scene of her former
triumphs. There is perhaps no public singer so much
admired, and so invariably approved in Savarm ill as
the charming vocalist v\ ho delighted our senses on
the occasion. Nor has she lost any of her attractions
by absence, , She seems rather to have inspired an
affectionate expectation when it was announced that
she would appear, and the audience manifested their
gratification in unmistakable terms when she advanc
ed to sing her first piece. Madame Anna is too well
known, nnd her powers too well understood in this
community, to make more than a mere mention of
her appearance necessary. But who could listen to
that delightful little "Je suis la Bayadere” and not
speak of the bewitching effect with which she gave
it?

Important from Santa Fc~('onvcntion to
form a State Government.
Few Orleans, Monday, June 17.
The Galveston (Texas) Civilian of the 14th inst.
contains a proclamation by Col. Monroe, the U. S.
Military Governor in New Mexico, directing the elec
tion of Delegates to a Convention, to be held for the
formation of the State Cuustitutiou und Government
for the Territory. The Convention was to be held
at Santa Fe on the 15th ult.
Major Neighbors, the Texan Commissioner in
New Mexico, lias returned to Austin, after ineffec
tual efforts to organize tho country of Santa Fe.
The cause of his failure was the interference of
the military authorities at Santa Fe.
The New York Tribune bus the following com
ments on this extraordinary, announcement.
Postscript—Important ! We received, late last eve
ning the important intelligence (via Texas) that
Neighbors has returued from New Mexico with a very
fat lien ill his right car, bringing tlie useful intelli
gence that he has been unable to organize the County
of Santa Fe, by reason (us he says) of the interference
of tile U. S. military there, and that Col. Monroe, in
pursuance of fresher orders from Washington, has is
sued a call for a convention of thepcople of Few Mexi
co to meet at Santa Fe in May (now past) and form a
State Constitution ! And there is lio doubt of the
ready obedience of the New Mexicans to this call.
This is altogether the moat important and gratify
ing news we hnve received for n longtime. True,
though we long, impatiently, and for a time confident
ly, expected just such advices, we cannot yet recon
cile them with the drift of Gen. Taylor’s new Spe
cial Message—but we are very ready to waive that. If
the Administration is nt last fairly, openly committed
to the Independence of Now Mexico and (he main
tenance of her territorial integrity, we are with it
heart nnd soul. Much precious time had been lost,
but by frankness, energy and determination all may
he regained. There will of course be a new call oil
the President for information, and we look for an an
swer very different in tone und bearing from that of
Monday.
When it comes, look out for hurricanes in Cor.gress!
jfSlwelmve yet had are nothing to them. 11 what
Col. Monroe is reported to have done is avowed and
justified by tlie President, tho divorce between him
and the last remnant of the Slavery Propaganda will
be complete. We uvvnit with interest, hut no longer
u ith fear, the developments of the ensuing month.
The sky brightens! Rqjoice friends of Freedom and
press onward!
We ugree with the editor thut it is a rather difficult
matter to reconcile these accounts with Gen. Tay
lor's late message to Congress, un extractfrom which
was published in the News, nnd in which it will be re
membered the President says “/ have no pouter to de
cide the question of boundary, and no desire to inter
fere with it as a question of title."
We are inclined to discredit this news. If it should
prove true we think it will put a new aspect in the
Territorial question.
Since the above wns in type we received.our New
Orleans papers ill which we find the news from Tex
as fully confirmed.
This news has created intense excitementin' Tex
as, as appears by the following extracts from some
of tlie journals of that State. The Washington
Hunger says :
This intelligence has caused considerable excite
ment about Austin mid the whole West. Nearly eve
ry man is willing to shoulder his gun, and demand
the rights of Texas n^ the cannon’s mouth. Gen.
Talyor is much mistaken if he expects Texas to sub
mit to this injury and insult. We understand that
Governor Hell has made a peremptory demand ou
tbelL S. Government tor the l ights of our .State, and
should this have no effect, he will doubtless march
with volunteer forces, and take that portion ot coun
try, which, of right belongs to us.
The Houston Telegraph, ill publishing Col. Mon
roe’s proclamation, says :
Tliis is another of the stealthy anil unprincipled
acts of Hen. Taylor to rob the Southern States of
their dearest privileges. A more open, base act of
Government tyruuny has perhaps never before been
perpetrated. Texas hides her time,
The Galveston News, ill doing likewisei says :
Wo can only say, that we are glad the issue has
hern ut last presented to our citizens. We sliull now
soon know whether our citizens arc {roRdy to meet
that issue and defend their rights at all huzards ; or
whether they will tamely give up their rights in view
of the superior power against which we shall have
to contend, in order, to maintain them.
The Galveston Journal, in referaree to the procla
mation, toys—We foibeiir comment until n further
ilcvt lopement of facts. It looks, though, wonderfully
like a part uf the system of tactics that has been a-
dopted to extort from Texas ii sale and surrender of
thiittn r.tory.
and that of the Senator from Mass. If we were
right, the amendment offered by the Senator from
Miss, would ho nugatory, but would prevent others
from voting for the bill.
The debate was continued by Messrs. Soule, Daw-
soil, Walker, Foote, Davis of Miss., nnd others.
Without taking tlie question, at 4 o'clock the Sqji-
ate adjourned.
House of Representatives.—Mr. Jackson, ot Geor
gia, reported a bill, providing for the removal of ob
structions to tlie Savannnh river in tlie State of Geor
gia, aud for the improvement of the same, which
was read twice and committed.
Mr. Chandler moved a reconsideration of tho vote
by which the House on the motion of Mr. Swectser,
authorized the uppgintmeut of n committee of five
to examine and investigate whether the Secretary
of the Treasury lias not used or appropriated a large
amount or money from tho surplus fund, without
authority of law, which had accumulated to said fund
under tlie act of 1793, under various specific appro
priations since 1830.
Mr.Chandler remarked upon the phraseology of
the resolution, maintaining that it implied a charge
against the personal honor of the Secretary, whether
it was so intended or not.
Mr. Swcetser remarked in the course of the debate,
that tlie resolution was not intended to reflect upon
tlie personal honor of the Secretary, but contemplat
ed an investigation into his officiul character, into un
official transaction.
Mr. Chandler said the phraseology fixed a charge of
dishonesty on the Secretary, whether so intended or
not.
Mr. Morse desired to know of tho mover of the res
olution whether the charge was made against tile
Secretary, upon his own (the mover’s) responsibili
ty-
Mr. Swcetser responded in tlie negative ; but said
he bad the information from a source in which he
had the utmost confidence.
Mr. Morse spoke at some length against tlie cha
racter of the resolution.
After a long discussion the question was put on
the motion to reconsider and carried. Ayes 125
nays 57.
Mr. Swcetser then moved to amend liis resolution
so ns to authorise nnd instruct the committee on
ways aud means to investigate and examine into the
matter at issue.
Mr. Chandler moved n substitute for the whole
matter in the form of call upon the Secretary of the
Treasury to report to the House tlie facts in the case,
but subsequently modified it to make it the duty of
the committe of ways and means to procure from the
Secretary information upon the subject.
Mr. Jones said the Committee of Ways nnd Menus
wanted nothing to do with tlie matter. He moved to
lay the whole subject upon the table, This question
was decided in the negative—yeas 66, nays 66.
TUe question wns then taken on the amendment of
Mr. Chandler to the amendment of Mr. Swcetser,
and it was carried in the affirmative—yeas 106, nays

amendment pending, offered yesterday by Mr. Jeffer
son Davis; was rejected.
Mr. Walker offered an amendment providing that
tlie right of suffrage should bo enjoyed by foreign
ers declaring an intention to become citizens—re
