The Coquette.
BY CHARLES StVAIN:
Whatsoe’r she vowed ,0-day.
Ere a week had Hed away
She’d refuse me!
And shall ) her step pursue—
Follow still, and fondly woo ?
N o .'—excuse me !
If she loves me—it were kind,
Just to teach her her own mind.
Let her Jose me !
For ro more I'll seek h r aide—
Court her favor—feed her pride
No I—excuse me!
If in idle, vain display,
She can cast my love away,
And thus use me;
For a fickle heart at best,
Shall 1 ari ve and lose my rest?—
No! —excuse me
Let her frown—frowns never kill;
Let her shun me if she will—
Hate-abuse mo ;
Shall I bend ’neath her annoy f
Bend—and make my heart her toy ?
No ! —excuse me.
TRIP LIGHTLY.
Trip lightly over trouble.
Trip lightly over wrong,
We onlv make grief double
By dwelling on if iong.
Why clasp woe’s hand so tightly?
Wht sigh o’er blossoms dead?
W’hy cling lo form- unsightly?
Why not to joy instead?
Trip lightly over sorrow,
Though tuis day may he dark,
The sun may shine to-moriow,
And gladly sing lhe lark;
Fair hope has noi departed.
Though roses may have Hed,
Then never be down hearted,
But look forjoy instead.
Trip lightly over sadness,
Stand not to rail at doom,
We’ve pearls to string ot gladness,
Oj this side cl lhe iomb;
While starsare nightly shining,
And heaven is overhead.
Encourage not repining,
But look for joy instead.
The Old Maid. —“ She lias not married. Under
Heaven, her home, her life, her lot, are ail of her
own making. Bitter or sweet they have been—it
is not ours to meddle with them, but wo can any
day see their results. Wide or narrow as her cir
cle ol inllucnce appears, she lias exercised her
power to the utmost, and for good. Whether
great or small lier talents, slie has not let one of
them rust for want ot use. Whatever the current
of her existence may have been, and in whatever
circumstances it has placed her, she has voiuntari- j
ly wasted no portion ol it—not a year, not a month, i
not a day. Published or unpublished, tills wo- I
man’s hie is a goodly chronicle, the titlepage of j
which you may read in her quiet countenance;
her manner, settled, cheerful and at ease; her un
failing interest m all things and all people. You
will rarely find she thinks much about herseif; she
lias never had time for it. And this her life chron
icle, which, out of its very fullness, has taught her
that the more one does, the more one finds to do—
she will never flourish in jtur face, or the face of
Heaven, as something uncommonly virtuous and
extraordinary. She knows that, after ail, she has
simply done what it was her duty to do.
“But—and when her place is vacant on earth,
this will be said of her assuredly, both here and
other where — il &he hath done what she could.”
As a companion-piece to tins beau iful portrait, i
so full of a holy calm, and for the purpose of
showing that “A Woman’s Thoughts about Wo
man” may be profit; b!y read by young gentlemen
as well as young ladies, we present M s Muiock’s
craven drawing of
The Old Bachei.or.— “Scarcely any sight is
more piti .ble than a young man who has drifted
on to past thirty, without home or near kindred-;
with just income enough to keep him respectably
in the position which he supposes himself bound
to maintain, and lo supply Into with the various
small luxuries, such as thirty guineas per annum
in cigars, etc., which have become habitual to him.
Like uis lellow-mortals, he is liable enough to tiie
unlucky weakness of falling in love, now and then ;
but lie somehow manages to extinguish lhe pas
sion before it gets fairly alight, knowing he can no
more venture to ask a girl in Ins own sphere to
marry him, or be engaged to him, than he can
coax the planet Venus out of the golden west into
the dirty, gloomy, two pair-back where his laun
dress cheats him, and his landlady abuses him ;
whence, perhaps, he occasionally emerges glorious
ly, ail studs and white tiei ktie—to assist at some
young beauty’s wedding, where he feels in his
heart lie might once have been lhe happy bride
groom—if from Ins silence she had not been driven
to go desperately and sell herself to the old 100 l
opposite, and is fast becoming, nay, is already be
come a fool’s clever mate —a mere woman ot the
world. And he—what a noble idea he lias gained
of our sex, from this and other similar experiences !
with what truth ol emotion will he repeat, ae he
gives the toast of “The bridemaids,” the hackney
ed quotation about pain and sorrow wringing the
brow, and smile hatt-adoringly, half pathetically,
at the “ministering angels” who titter around him.
In the slow process of inevitable deterioration, by
forty he learns to think matrimony a decided hum
hug; and hugs himself in lhe conclusion that a
virtuous, high-minded, and disinterested woman,
if existing at ail, exi-ts as a mere lusus natures nut
to be met with by mortal man now a days. Re—
j lieving his feelings with a grunt—half sigh, lialt
j sneer—he dresses and goes to the opera, nr the bal
I let, at all events—or settles himself on the sofa to
| a French novel,and ends by firm y believing us wo
i men to be—what we are painted there!”
From the Washington Star.
The Postmistress Measuring Her Share or
Letters.— There is anew town in the North-west
called Barton, (contraction ofßeartown.) At this
point a post office has been established ; the route
extends some distance beyond, and there are sev
eral offices further on. Soon after the establish
ment of the office at Barton, the postmasters be
yond began to be troubled by a strange irregularity
in the minds. This week, one thing would be miss
ing; the next some o ! her package would be non
est; and quite often letters for B. would have to
be sent back ; this state of affairs became unendu
rable, and agent Hall was 6ent on to investigate
the matter. He went stiaiulit to Barton, where
he found the post office in the back room of a little
grocery. It was about lime for the mail to arrive,
and he took a seat in the giocery, where a plump
and good natured woman, well in years and pos
sessed of a “rich brogue,” attended behind the
counter, dealing out small quantities of beer, cheese,
cakes, peanuts, etc., to a company of loungeis,
who seemed to wait for ome event.
Hall bought a quantity of peanuts, ntid treated
the crowd to beer, by which course he succeeded
in removing ail suspicious which his decent garb
had created against him. Soon tbaslage rove up
aud the mail bag was thrown out, the lady picked
it up and retreated to the back room, followed by
the crowd—including Hail, who blocked up lhe
door.
After opening lhe bag, and turning its contents
on the floor, the postmislres- produced a box, and
del berately proceeded to measure out a peek of
miscellaneous matter from the pile on the floor.
Having done this, she commenced returning the
rest, when Hall found his tongue.
“Why, wiiat are you doing there ?” he contriv
ed to stammer out.
“lndade,” said the postmistress, looking up,
“it’s changing the mail tha I am.”
“But Jiotv do you know that you get the right
matter? Why don’t you look it over and select
your own ?”
“Faith, an’ its a fools job you’d be after havin’
me do,” replied her ladyship. “I can’t read niver
a blessed bit of writin’, and when my son Jim (he’s
had school lamin’ isn’t here, I just measure out our
shee.”

INDIAN BATTLE AT SHaKOPEE, BETWEEN
THE CHIPPEWAS AND SIOUX.
Correspondence of the Albany Atlas and Argus.
Shakopes, Minnesota, May 27, 1858. Yester
day morning, a bloody Indian battle was fought ai
Shakopee, and witnessed by five or six hundred
citizens, men, women, and children, who relished
the sanguinary spectacle better than tlieir break
fast, which they left untouched, in order to wit
ness an exhibition of Indian bravery and ferocity.
The battle commenced about six o’clock in the
morning, and lasted for three hours, and is proba
bly the most sanguinary Indian battle ever fought
in the mi :st of a thickly-settled country, and wit
nessed by the whites with a relish, and witltout an
effort, or even a wish to arrest its progress. About
thirty five Sioux warriors encountered in this flight
about one hundred and fifty Chippewa braves.
As I was one of the spectators of the battle 1
propose to give you a full and detailed history of
the conflict, its causes and result:
The Battle. —Thus the parties remained until
day-light. About sunrise two young Sioux went
down to the river to catch some fish for break
fast. One crossed over in a canoe. As soon as
he touched the land on the other side he was
shot dead by the concealed Cliippewas, and scalp
ed. This took place within thirty rods of Major
Murphy’s house. The Chippewas are armed with
rifles; the Sioux use only muskets and shot guns.
The sleeping Sioux, being awakened by a volley
of rifle-shots, raised the war whoop and shouted
“Chippewas,” and caught their guns and run to
the river, singing the war-whoop and shouting
“Chippewas.” At the river they met about ten
Chippewas, on the epposits side, ready to receive
them, the other Chippewas being still concealed.—
The Sioux warriors ran to the ferry to cross over
but a few white* who had reached the ferry at first
refused to lei them cross. The Sioux chief inter
fered, and the Chippewas had rifles and
could shoot his warriors across the river, while his
men had only muskets and shot guns, and could
j no! shoot across the river. This decided the dis
pute, and the boat now left in the possession of
the Sioux warriors. Thirty-two Sioux braves fpr
ried themselves across—their whole available force.
As soon as they reached the other bank the ten
Chippewas broke and retreated without firing,
fo![owed hotlv by the Sioux, who were thus decoy
ed into the midst ofthe concealed Chippewas along
the river. This hidden band, consisting of about
seventy-five men, jumped to their feet and fired
into the unsuspecting Sioux, killing one dead, and
mortally wounding two and several others severely.
The Sioux halted, and returned the fire with telling
effect on the Chippewas. In a few minutes the
firing brcame gt o- ral on both sides. The Sioux
warriors fought desperately and bravely, and stub
j sorely contested every inch of ground. At this
j juncture the other party ot Chippewas, concealed in
I the ravine, came down upon the Sionx, who grad
| ually retired backwards across the neck of a small
prairie to the bushes on the bank of the river,
keeping up a continued firing into the Chippewas.
During this retreat occurred a desperate strug
gle over the dead body of the Sioux, which the
Chippewas proceeded to scalp. To be killed in
an Indian battle is an honor, or at most only a mis
fortnue, but to suffer the enemy to take the scalp
off the slain is a disgrace upon the whole tribe.—
Three brothers of the slain Sioux rushed to the
rescue through a shower of rifles bullels. They
r; aclied the dead body of their brother just as five
Chippewas had diawn their knives to cut off the
scalp. The three brothers, though wounded by
riffo shots before they reached the body of the
! slain, fonht like maddened tigers, and with the.r
tomahawks and scalping knieves killedtwo of the
Chippewa braves, wounded the other tiiree, and
drove them from the field. They rescued the
body of their slain brother and saved his scalp,
cut off ihe heads of the two Chippewas they had
kilied, raised the dead body of their brother, took
the two Chippewa heads and carried them, limp
ing and bleeding from their own wounds, triumph
antly to their own camp. One of the brothers was
wounded with a side shot in the Jiead, another
was badly wounded in the thigh, and had one toe
shot off, and the other had a bullet put through
the fleshy part of his leg. Two of the brothers re
lurned to the battle field again, which rallied the
retreating Sioux. They ran upon lhe advancing
Chippewas, reserving their own fire until near
enough to take deadly aim, when they halted and
fired. The Chippewas broke and retreated across
the n; ck of a prairie to tho bushes, carrying several
killed and wounded with them, but leaving two of
their slain and the battle-field in the possession of
the Sioux. lhe Sioux cut off the heads of the
slain Chippewas, and sent them into their camp,
where they were scalped.
By this time eight of the Sioux were so badly
wounded that they had left the field, leaving only
twenty-three braves to fight one hundred and fif
ty Chippewas in arms. The Chippewas again rail
ed and drove the Sioux into the prairie to a large
tree, where they halted aud invited the Chippewas
to come out on the open praire. There twenty
three Sioux remained at tiiis tree for half an hour,
but the cowardly Cliippewas dared not to venture
near enough for afa r shot. Alter a few chance
shots on both sides, the Chippewas ascended the
oluff, and retreated towards their own country,
vowing curses and vengeance upon the Sioux.
The Chippewas carried away with them three
of their slain a> and six that were so severely woun
ded as not to be able to walk, several of whom
will die. The Sionx brought four Chippewa heads
into their camp, where they were scalped ; so we
may conclude that at least seven of the Chippewas
were killed on ihefipld.
The Sioux lost (besides the one that was killed
and scalped whi e fishin.) one killed on the battle
field whosescaip his surviving brotheres so gal
lantly saved. Ten ol the Sioux were wounded,

The Pommandar of the Vigilaats.
VVe observe in the despatches and newspapers
that Capt. J. K. Duncan, commander ofthe forces
ot the Vigilance Committee in New Orleans, is
mentioned as being of the Uni'ed States Army.—
This is not the tact. Capt. Duncan was once an
officer of the army, and a graduate ol West Point.
But ho resigned several years ago. He was, sub
sequently to his resignation, savs tho Mobile Reg
ister, engaged in the filibustering movement,
in connection with Carvajal some years ago on
the Rio Grande, and commanded the artillerv.—
He has been employed for the past three or four
years in New Orleans, as superintendent of the
construction of the U. S. Marine Hospital and other
public buildings, for which he is peculiarly well
qualified by his eminent accomplishments and tal
ent as a scientific engineer. He has ever b en a
a strong triend of'he Walker enterprise in Nica
ragua, and was at one time engaged to accompany
Gen. Walker to that country, which he would
have done, giving up his very agreeable and lucra
tive situation in New Orleans for the purpose, if
certain contemplated arrangements could have
been realized. He is a high-toned and gallant

This number is rich in articles of interest and

than worth the price paid for the magazine. Had
it been published in some of the periodicals at the

would have been advertised in any number of

The Utah Difficulty—Proclamation of Presi
dent Buchanan.
Whereas the Territory of Utah was settled b
certain emigrants from the States and from for
eign countries, who have for several years pas
manifested a spirit of insubordination to the Con
-titution and laws of the United States. The grea
mass of those settlers, acting under the influent-i
of leaders to whom they seem to have surrendere;
heir judgment, refuse to be controlled by any other
authority. They have been often advised to obe
dience, and these friendly counsels have been an
swered with defiance. Officers ol the Federal
government have been driven from the Territory
for no offense but an effort to do their sworn duty.
Others have been prevented from going ihere by
threats of assassination. Judges have been vio
lently interrupted” in the performance of their func
tions, and the records of the Courts have been sei
zed and either destroyed or concealed. Many oth
er acts of unlawful violence have been openly
claimed by the leading inhabitants, with at least
the silent acquiescence of nearly all the others.—
Their hostility to the lawful government of the
country has at length become so violent that no
officer bearing a commission from the Chief Magis
trate of the Union can enter the Territory or remain
there with safety ; and all the officers recently ap
pointed have been unable to go to Salt Lake, or
anywhere else in Utah, beyond the immediate pow
er ofthe anny. Indeed, such is believed lobe the
condition to which a strange system of terrorism
has brought the inhabitants of that region, that m
me could express an opinion favorable to this gov
ernment, or even propose to obey its laws, without
exposing his life and pioperty to peril.
After carefully considering this state of affairs,
and maturely weighing the obligation I was under
to see the laws faithfully executed, it seemed to me
right and proper that I should make such use of
the military force at my disposal as might be neces
sary to protect the federal officers in going into the
Territory of Utah, and in performing their duties
after arriving there. I accordingly ordered a de
tachment of the airayto march for the City of Salt
Lake, or within reach of that place, and to act in
case of need as a possee for the enforcement of the
laws. But in the meantime, the haired of that
misguided people for the just and legal authority
ofthe government had become so intense that they
resolved to measure their military strength with
that ot the Union. They have organised an arm
ed force far from contemptible in point of numbers,
and trained it, if not with skill, at least with assid
uity at.d perseverance. While the troops of the
United States were on their march, a train of bag
gage wagons, which happened to be unprotected,
was attacked and destroyed by a portion of the
Mormon forces, and the provisions and stores with
which the train was laden were wantonly burnt.
In short, their present attitude is one of decided
and unreserved enmity to the United States and to
ail their loyal citizens. Their determination to
oppose the authority of the government by mili
tary force has not only been expressed in words,
but manifested in overt acts ol the most unequivo
cal character.
Fellow citizens of Utah, this is a rebellion against
the government to which you owe allegiance. It
is levying war against the United States and in
volves you in the guilt ot treason. Persistence in
it will bring you to condign punishment, to ruin,
\ and to shame; for it is mere madness to suppose
that with your limited resources, you can suc
cessfully resist the force of this great and powerful
nation.
If you have calculated upon the forbearance of
the United States—ifyou have permitted yourselves
to suppose that this government will fail to put
forth its strength and bring you to submission—
you have fallen into a grave mistake. You have
settled upon territory which lies geographically in
•be heart of the Union. The land you live upon
was purchased by the United Slates, and paid for
out of t heir treasury. The proprietary right and
title to it is in them, and not in you. Utah is
bounded on every side by States and Territories
whose people are true to tiie Union. It is absurd
to believe that they will or can permit you to erect
in their very midst a government of your own, not
only independent ofthe authority which they all
acknowledge, but hostile to them and their inter
ests.
Do not deceive yourselves nor try to mislead
others by propagating the idea that this is a cru
sade against your religion. The Constitution and
laws of this country can take no notice of your
creed, whether it be true or false. That is a ques
tion between your God and yourselves, in which
i disclaim all right to interfere. If you obey the
laws, keep the peace and respect the just rights of
others, you will be perfectly secure and may live
on in your present faith or change it for another
at your pleasure. Every intelligent man among
you knows very well that this government lias
never, directly or indirectly, sought to molest you
in your worship, to control you in your ecclesias
tical affairs, or even to influence you in your re
ligious opinions.
This rebellion is not merely a violation of your
legal duty; it is without just cause, without rea
son, without excuse. You never made a com
plaint that was not listened to with patience.—
You never exhibited a real grievance that was
not redressed as promptly as it could be. The
lawsand regulations enacted for your government
by Congress, have been equal and just, aud theit
enforcement was manifestly necessary for your
own welfare and happiness. You have never ask
ed their lepeal. They are similar in every mate
rial respect to the laws which have been passed
for the other Territories of the Union, and which
everywhere else (with one partial exception) have
been cheerfully obeyed. No people ever lived who
were freer from unnecessary legal restraints than
you. Human wisdom never devised a political
system which bestowed more blessings or imposed
lighter burdens than the government of the Uni
ted States in its operations upon the Territo
ries.
But being anxious to save the effusion of blood,
and to avoid the indiscriminate punishment of a
whole people for crimes of which it is not probable
that all are equally guilty, I offer now a full and
free pardon to all who will submit themselves to
the authority of the Federal Government. If you
refuse to accept it, let the consequences fall upon
your own heads. But I conjure you to pause de
liberately and reflect well before ‘ou reject this
tender of peace and good will.
Now, therefore, I, James Buchanan, President
of the United States, have thought proper to issue
this my proclamation, enjoining upon all public
officers in the Territory of Utah, to the diligent
and faithful, to the full extent of their power in the
execution of the laws; commanding all citizens of
the United States in said Territory to aid and
assist the officers in the performance of their du
ties; offering to ihe inhabitants ot Utah, who shall
suomit to the laws, a free pardon for the seditions
and treasons Heretofore by them committed ; war
ning those who shall persist, after notice of this
proclamation, in the present rebellion against the
United States, that they must expect no further
lenity, but look to be rigorously dealt with accor
ding to their deserts; and declaring that the mili
tary force now in Utah, and hereafter to be sent
there, will not be withdrawn until the inhabitants
of ihat Territory shall manifest a proper sense of the
duty which they owe to this government.
In teMimony whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand, and i aused the seal ofthe United States to
be affixed to these presents.

Legation of the Usited States, \
Mexico May 22, 1858.
His Excellency Sr. Don Louis G. Cuevas, Minis
ter of Foreign Relations:
The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary ofthe United States, has
the honor to inform His Excellency, the Mm S ‘
if Relations, that he has received, through John
Black, Esq., the United States Consul in Mexico, a
ommunication from a number of citizens of tin
United States, residing and doing business in thi-
Republic, asking advice in respect to their righti
rtnd obligations, as such citizens, under the two
decrees, published by bando, on the 15th and 16ih
ol the present month, directing the imposition and
collection of a sudden and extraordinary “contribu
tion,” and in connection with it, the establishment
of a “National Bank.”
It has thus become the duty ot the undersigned
to examine, carefully, the nature and purport of
the decrees, thus officially brought to his notice, and
he has now the honor of addressing his Excellency,
Mr. Cuevas, upon the result of that examina
tion.
The two decrees in question have the same date
and by their tenure, are to be taken and construed
together. They must be considered, in fact, as
part and parcel of one and the same general act.—
By the first, a “contribution” is imposed, for once
only, of about one per cent., upon every capital of
real and personal property, ot the value of not less
than five thousand dollars, and not exceeding one
million five hundred thousand dollars. This“con
tribution” is to be paid, one-fourth in fifteen days,
one-fourth in twenty davs, one-fourth in forty days
and one-toutth in fifty days from the date of the
publication of the decree; stringent regulations
are provided for the prompt discovery of the
amount of property possesed by individuals, and
lor the collection of the “contribution” that .nay be
claimed upon it ; provision is also made for the
repayment of the “contribution” in shares of the
National Bank, established by the second decree,
and the National Bank, thus supplied with its capi
tal aud its stockholders, is invested with the goner
al control of the finances of the nation.
What, then, is the true character of this so-called
“contribution ?”
Promising a statement which tho undersigned
observes in the Diario Official, the Government
organ, on the publication of these decrees, that their
object and intention were to raise funds to prevent
the further progress ol anarchy, and, finally, to
provide capital for the National Bank ; and premi
sing, also, the proclamation of Juan Othon, Gov
ernor ad interim of the Department of San Luis
Potosi, brought to the notice of the undersigned
by the Unfed States Consul, and in that city, levy
ing a prestamo forzoso. or forced loan, with which
to meet the hostile movements of ihe “enemies of
order,” the undersigned states, in his opinion, this
“contribution” is destitute of all the elements of a
tegular tax, but has, on the contrary all those
which constitute a forced loan.
First. It is irregular and unusual in its inception.
It is imposed, not by virturo of any subsisting or
customary laws, but by virture of a sudden and
unexpected decree. It is to be enforced by rapid
and stringent steps. It is to take effect for once
only f poruna solavez.” It is a tempoiary finan
cial expedient, suggested by the pressing necessi-
ties of civil strife, and hasnoan-tlogy with any sys
tem of taxation tecognized and practised by na
tions, governed by sound and stable laws
Second. It is partial, unequal and unjnst, in its
operation; leaving, as it does, two extreme*, above
and below which no contribution at all is laid, and
establishing a large inequality in the bases of con
tribution t.y those capitals that are within those
extremes.
Witti these large exemptions from all “contribu
tion,” and with thei-e inequali le* aiming those who
are compel ed to pay. the undersigned must deem
it as differing, totocoela, from a lawful tax, which,
from its very nature; mu6t be general, uniform and
just.
Third It is irregular and unusual in its appro
priat'On; From the statement already alluded to
in ihe Diario Official,and from his own observations
the undersigned is satisfied that the funds obtained
by means of this “contribution” are intended to
be employed, in the first instance, to sustain troops
engaged in the civil war, now unhappily devas
tating the country, and afterwards, to form in
whole or in part, the basis ofthe National Bank,
with the shares of which it is proposed to re
pay it.
Viewing this “contribution,” therefore, under all
its aspects ; in its inception, its operation, in tiie
objects to which it is to be appropriated, and final
ly, in its repayment, in certain exceptional cases,
the undersigned is led irresistibly to the conclusion
that it does not come at all within the purview of
the theory or lawsof taxation, as these are under
stood and exist among civilized nations, but, that,
on the contrary, stripped of its flimsey veil, it is a
simpleand naked forced loan, and that, any citi
zen of the United Slates, who complies with its
requisitions, makes himseK in a certain sense, a
party to the political dissensions of the country,
thereby rendering himself obnoxions to censure and
hate, but exposed to subsequent exactions, without
excuse and without limit.
Now the question arises, can the Government
of Mexico impose a forced loan or a “contribution”
in the shape of a forced loan upon the citizens of
the United States? The undersigned answers un
hesitately in the negative. He hold that, even in
the absence of treaty stipulations exempting them,
no such imposition can be laid. It is clear, front
the soundest principles of international law, that
the property of the citizens or subject, in a foreign
State, continues under the protection of his iwn
Government; such |property “still constitutes a
part of the aggregate wealth of a nation* Any pow
er, therefore, wnich the lord of the territory might
claim over the property of a foreigner j would be
equally derogatory to the rights ofthe individual
owner and to those of the nation of which he is a
member.”
This principle, while it is held not to exempt the
property of the foreigner from lawful, customary
taxation, does certainly exclude all shadow ol
right, in the lord ofthe territory, to appropriate, de
stroy or confiscate his property in whole or in part.
Now, the first decree of the isth instant does ap
propriate, or propose to appropriate, to the use of
the Government of Mexico, a part of the foreigner’s
capital and if it is admitted that tho Supreme Gov
ernment can thus take by forced loan, or “contrib
ution” in the nature of a forced loan, one per cent,
of the foreigner’s capital, then, there is no imagi
nable principle to be interposed to prevent the
Government from taking the half or the whole of
it.
But the voice of Treaties is not silent upon this
subject. In the convention celebrated between
Great Britain and Mexico, at London, December 26
1826, Article 10th, it is clearly and emphatically
stipulated that “no forced loans shall be levied up
on” British subjects. In the Treaty betw’cen the
U. S. and Mexico, concluded April 5, 1831, it is
plainly and broadly laid down that the citizens of
the U. S. shall be placed on the same footing as
those of the most favored nation. From the letter
and spirit of this Treatv, no doubt .estsupon Ihe
mind of the undersigned that the Decree of the
15th instant is inoperative, so far as concerns the
citizens of the U. S., and that the “contribution” di
rected bv it cannot be, ill any way, levied upon
them. Tnese principles, worthy to be observed
and maintain.id on all occasions become of vital
importance in a country in the endition ol Mexico.
Behold the nation torn by civil dissensions, the
Government finances crippled, its ports and mari
time custom houses in the hands of its enemies in
the internal strife, struggling for means to sustain
itself, and constantly and sharply tempted to stretch
its perogative in the creation of resources, the un
dersigned holds it to be his imperative duty to meet,
at the very threshold, every step of the Govern
ment of Mexico to impose undue exactions upon his
country, and promptly to restrain its action, so far
as they are concerned, within the strictest limits
firescribed by sound principles of international
aw, and by the letter and spirit of existing trea
ties.
In conclusion, the undersigned, fully apprecia
ting the importance of the question involved in
thie diecuMion, and as fully convinced of the ac-

curacy and soundness of the views he has sug
gested and maintained, has no alternative but to
enter, in the name of his Government, a solemn
protest against the exaction, or any attempt at the
exaction ofthe “contribution” directed by the De
cree of the 15th of May, from citizens ol the United
States, by the Government of Mexico, and to ad
vise his countrymen, in accordance with the prin
ciples and views laid down in this protest, (hat
they are not bound to pay the contribution in ques
tion.
The undersigned has the honor to repeat to His
Excellency, Mr. Cuevas, the assurance of his very
distinguished consideration.

The Davis and Benjamin Affair.
VVe publish, below, what occurred in the, Senate as the
foundation of the challenge reported to have been sent
by Senator Benjamin of Louisiana to Senator Davis of
Mississippi. Wu cannot from this showing, congratulate
the latter gentleman upon the possession of any extraordi
nary amiability. We hope, however, his bad temper is
theeffect of ill health, and not of natural disposition. It
appeara that Mr. Benjamin was speaking upon the Army
Appropriation Bill, when Coi Davis interrupted him with
the remark;
”1 will correct the Senator,as that seems to be the poin t
of his argument. The Secretary of War does ass money
for breech loading arms, costing from thirty thousand to
forty thousand dollars, and part of this one hundred thou
sand dollars is to go in this way, according to his applica
tion.” And the following colloquy took place.
Mr. Benjamin “I do not understand that the
Secretary has asked for any part of this one hun
dred thousand dollars to purchase breech-loading
fire-arms- If he has, lam very much mistaken.”
Mr. Davis—“O, I will slate the very simple fact
tl a 1 he asks money to buy breech-loading arms.
W h ther this one hundred thousand dollars is to
be ptid out of the Treasury, I do not know.”
Mr. Benjamin—“lt is very easy for the Senator
to give a sneering reply as to what was certainly a
very respectful inquiry.”
Mr. Davis—“l consider it as an attempt to mis
represent a very plain remark.”
Mr. Benjamin—“ The Senator is mistaken, and
has no right to state any such thing. His manner
is not agreeable at all.”
Mr. Davis—“lt the Senator happens to find it
disagreeable, I hope he will keep it to himself.”
Mr. Benjamin—“lt was directed to me. and 1
will not keep it to myself. I will reply to it instan
ter.”
Mr. Davis—“ You have got it, sir.”
Mr. Benjamin—“ That is enough, sir. I shall
not again be diverted from my public duties.
The Lane and Jenkins Affair.
Fort Leavenworth, June 5, via St. Jouis, June
7-—The details of the affray at Lawrence between
General Lane aud Mr. Jenkins have been receiv
ed.
It appeals that both Lane and Jenkins were liv
ing on a contested claim. The former had enclos
ed an acre ofland, in which there was a well that
was used by both parties in common. Lane re
cently locked the well and fenced up the entrance
to it, and forbade Jenkins access to it. Jenkins de
clared he would have water at all hazards, and
Lane threatened him it he made a forcible entry
into his premises.
On Thursday afternoon, Jenkins, accompanied
by four friends, all well armed, cut down Lane’s
ferce and proceeded towards the well. Lane
warned them not to advance or he would shoot
them. Disregarding the threats, Jenkins’ party
advanced, when Lane fired, killing Jenkins instant
ly. One of the Jenkins party returned the fire, and
shot Lane in the leg, inflicting a wound which con
fined him to hed.
Lane has been arrested, and was under exami
natmn to-day. Much excitement exists in-const—
quence of this affair. Jenkins was held in high
estimation, and his death is deeply uep'ort and.

Senator Hammond.— ln the U. States Senate
on Monday, while the proposition of Senator Mal
lory, of Florida, was being considered, which was
in favor of the construction of ten new steam
sloops-of-war, viz: five of twelve feet draft, four
of fourteen feet draft, and one paddle steamer of
eight leet draft, at an aggregate cost of $1,200,000,
Mr. Hammond is reported to have said :
He did not entertain this as a war measure in
dispensably necessary for our interest as a great
commercial natiort. Referring to the tone ol the
recent speeches, he. said we cannot build a navy,
like Aladiri’s palace, in a night. We cannot raise
ships by resolutions of Congress, To raise an ar
my you have but to light up the fires from the hill
tops; but the construction, equipment and train
ing of a navy is the work of time. By looking at
other countries, we find the deficiency of our navy,
compared with other countries. Denmark, Swe
den, and other small States, have navies equal or
superior to ours. Every stump orator in the coun
try insist on taking Cuba, and whiping out Spain;
yet Spain has a larger navy than ours. He (Ham
mond) felt these insults in the Gulf as if he had
been stricken in the face. He could not be con
tent with a mere apology, and hoped that our force
in the Gulf will, either with or without orde s,
capture or sink one of the offending vessels. But
these additional sloops are not a ineasme of war
with Great Britain. He would meet that issue
when it came.
A Delightful Invention—Hot Weather Defied.
—By invitation of Mr. David Kalmweiller, we,
this morning, inspected a patent ventiilating Arm
Chair, invented and manufactured by 1 im. We
have seen many contrivances for gelling up a fresh
breeze, in hot weather, but we never saw one that
was not liable to serious objections, until we saw
Mr. Kahnweiler’s invention. The “veii'idator”
which can be applied to any style of arm chair, is
a bellows and air chamber, with a pipe which
leads up to a flexible conical tube that can be di
rected to the face or wherever else it may be desir
ed. Avery gentle rock of the chair sets the bel
lows in motion, and its having a double action, it
semis a constant current of air through the air
chamber and thence up to the face of the occupant
of the chair. Ice or a wet sponge may be pmced
in tho air chamber, and the air may thus be ren
dered as cool and as moist as may be desired.—
There is also a very simple plan for perfuming or
medicating the air. The invalid who cannot leave
her room, who longs for the fresh air, can get it in
this chair, and wafted with it will come the odors
of the orange grove, or such perfumes as come
from the rosebush in full bloom, if it is desired.—
A sponge saturated with salt water, and placed in
the air chamber, would affird the rocker such a
whiff as comes to the sojourner at Cape May or
Atlantic City. Musquitos and flies are scattered
by the current from the ventilator. These delight
full chairs are manufactured by Mr. Kahnwetller,
North Third Street. The inventor has received
the first premium at every tair where the chair
has been exhibited. We commend it to the no
tice of every reader who would enjoy a real luxury
at a trying season. —Phila Bulletin.
