The War on the Santa Fe Traders. The St. Louis Organ of the 3d inst. lias the following information as to the lucent attack upon the Mexican Chavis and his company. “The Oceana, from Weston, came in yesterday with the two McDaniels, John and David, who were principal parties in the murder of the Mexican Chavis. The sheriff of Jackson county has them in charge, and reports that seven of the band? and among them Dr. Prefontaine, refused to participate in the death of Chavis. These seven deserted the rest, lost their horses, were compelled to se crete their booty on the prairie, and come into Independence on foot and penniless. l)r. P. has not been taken, and will prob ably escape. “The McDaniels, Mason and Brown, were the actual perpetrators of this hor rible crime. One of the Searcys, select ed for this office, backed out and Brown took his place. Mason and Berry have turned State’s evidence, and agree in their statements. Mason declares lie fired after Chavis fell, lie remains at Inde pendence to identify those who came in. “No money was found in possession of one of the prisoners here. About §15,- uoi) said to belong to the other, was found in bullion in a desk in the office of the clerk of the county court at Lilierty. It was not obtained without threats oil the part of those in search that they would destroy the building. “It is said that the trial of the McDan iels in the circuit court of the United States will take place immediately. n. Doniphan, of Clay county, and Blenner hassett are counsel for the prisoners, who have plenty of money. “It is reported that the Searcys have been taken in Platt county. The two Harrises and Talbott had escaped, but officers and people were i close pursuit, and expected to overtake them.” The N. Y. Aurora, which professes to know somctmng about the parties and their designs, makes the following re marks upon the subject. The “ Col. Warfield” here alluded to is the son of a very worthy and respectab'e merchant in New Orleans, and lias pro claimed that he goes out merely as n land privateer against Mexico, and that Amer ican traders will not be interrupted or dis turbed by him or his company. The Missouri company are of the same kid ney,and are doubtless cruising under sim ilar colors. They will not touch the American traders —but they declared a war, or rather a hunt, of extermination against the Mexicans, both in their lives and property. < )ne of the Missouri gang who murdered Chavis Dr. Prefontaine —wo know well. He formerly was a practising physician in St. Louis, and is one of the keenest, shrewdest, and most plausible men we ever met. Ile is admi rably calculated in every way to be the leader of so desperate an enterprise. And now, let us look at this matter seriously for it is serious, and will soon, we fear, become more so. This movement is but an extension and an improvement upon a system which has been in operation many years amongst the frontier men of the Missouri, many of whom have made immense sums of money in the one simple branch of mule stealing from the Santa Fe Mexicans and Indians. Now, we see, other species of robbery, and murder itself, have been ad ded to the role of performances. The professions of these men that they mo lest no Americans, are sincere and true. With all their laxity of justice, their bar barism and ferocity, a more honorable race of men, (in some acceptations of that much abused word,) never existed. They would not hesitate to steal, and roh, and even. to> assassinate—hut their patriotism is unquestionable—they will never touch one of their fellow citizens, save in the way of kindness ora “fair fight witli no grudging and animosity.” In many res pects these wild men resemble the Arabs of the desert, who, in all their life of mul tiplied crime, never forget or violate the rites of hospitality—and this observance is called upon, in good sooth, to stand for much! So with our Bedouins of the Prai ries. It is no crime, with them, to rob and kill a Mexican, or to shoot down a ‘ var mint” of a Cumanche, bum up his wig wam and its inmates, and carry off his mules! He is only a Mexican—a Cu manche! But they will not molest the American traders !• At id these outrages have been perpetrated for years anil years, without attracting any attention at the seat of government, while the local magistrates are either too feeble to inter fere or else bribed to wink at such infa mous acts! Well—suppose that, by and by, a party of the Mexicans band together lay a trap for tl»eir Yangee lriepds, capture them, and carry them in triumph and in chains to Mexico shoot the lame and sick, starve the remainder, and, after throwing them into a loathsome dungeon for a few weeks, chain them together by the heels and set them to sweeping the public streets. What a horrible outrage this would lie, and what a shrill cry of revenge against the Mexican government would re-echo through the land ! What a dreadful thing it would be for the “American citizens” to he treated in this barbarous manner? Lveryeditor in the Union would be ready to shed his last drop of—ink, in avenging so horrible an indignity upon “tlio.se glorious privileges purchased by the blood of our forefath ers;” every militia captain,from 1 fowninw ville to Bayou S ira, would feel the blood of ten heroes swelling in his veins. But, let us reverse the case. Suppose a parcel of Mexican outlaws and rene gades were to lie in wait upon our fron tiers, either in Missouri or Arkansas, mur dering our citizens and rilling our cara vans ; and suppose they at length were to be taken, what would be their fate? A cord and the nearest tree, where they would swing in the wind till the turkey buzzards had eaten them, uni their hones lotted, and there an cud. It is useless to conceal the fact that the Mexicans have behaved quite as well in this business ae any other nation under heaven would have done ; and it is time to cease this wholesale pillage and plun der of a neighboring people, merely be cause their government is too weak to protect them. A settled and deep-rooted determination exists amongst the despe rate and hardened refuse of our pioneer population, who have been made bold and shrewd by danger and privation, to con quer New Mexico, and take formal pos session ; which one thousand resolute and well armed Americans, under a com petent leader, could easily do at any time. 'Phis project is not attempted to be con cealed on the western and southern fron tier ; and we have heard eminent and in fiuential men, occupying important posi tions in society, express a readiness to embark in such an enterprise. The bu siness is much more threatening, (because infinitely more plausible,) than Burr’s conspiracy —and it only requires a Burr (and we should think Prefontaine is the man) —to make the scheme entirely successful. We are glad to learn that a company of United States troops were about to he despatched from Jefferson Barracks to in tercept these marauding bands, and we sincerely hope that the government will leave no stone unturned in ferreting out and punishing these brigands and mur derers. Goa knows this people have enough already to answer for, in their treatment of the Indians. Let the poor Mexicans live! From the New York Herald. Commercial Kelat ons of England and the I iiili'd Slates. The last arrival from England has brought us, amongst other parliamentary intelligence of considerable importance, a very interesting discussion in the I louse of Commons, respecting the commercial negotiations of England with foreign powers. It is known thatthe commercial relations of this country with England have recently formed the subject of some informal communications between the respective governments; and the allu sions of Sir Robert Peel, in the course of the conversation which we have extract ed below, although vague and general in their tenor, are yet sufficiently expressive in our opinion, of the desire of the Brit ish Government, to modify and amend the existing state of their commercial law as respects the intercourse of Eng- j land and the United States. Necessity I is the most successful teacher possible, of i the duties it imposes. The wisdom of a just and liberal commercial policy is best enforced by that most convincing of all political economists self-interest. The long and eloquent speech of Lord Brougham, on the motion of a vote of thanks to Lord Ashburton, breathes throughout, the most liberal sentiment and feeling toward this country. No one can fail to lie struck by the large and comprehensive statesmanship—thesound sense--and friendly spirit of concilia tion, which the ex-Lord Chancellor ex hibited. Ile points out, with great clear ness and force, the intimate manner in which the interests of England and America are interwoven ; and with char acteristic severity administers a rebuke to that sjiirit of violence and prejudice, which in both countries, would seek to kindle the flumes of discord. It is certainly evi dent that a respect for the United .States, and a desire to cultivate and maintain amicable relations with them, are steadily growing amongst the intelligent, enlight ened, and influential classes of Great Britain. In a very different manner in deed, were the institutions and people of this country, spoken of in the House of Lords, ten years ago. The tone assumed by several of the speakers in the House of Commons, is certainly far more favorably disposed to the doctrines of free trade, than any thing ever advanced by Huskisson. If such a treaty were negotiated on a sufficiently broad and liberal scale, the exciting ques tion of the tariff in this country would be quietly disposed of. In the present state of feeling between our country mid England —with previous difficulties in a great measure amicably settled, with a favorable inclination on the part of lead ing statesmen of Great Britain, towards a recognition of the most liberal commer cial policy —no more auspicious period could he offered for the negotiation of a treaty which would extend and enlarge the commerce of both nations, give to it greatly added security, and render still more enduring those bonds of union which nil the friends of peace, liberty and civilization must desire to remain unbroken till the latest time. HOUSE OF COMMONS, APRIL 7 —COMMERCE. Lord J. Russell, said, the House would remember that on going through the va rious alterations of the customs duties last year, there were certain articles which were left at the old rate of duty, though it was admitted they wore objec tionable ; but they were so left on ac count of certain commercial treaties with foreign powers, which it was understood were then being negotiated or were in contemplation. Os course, the suspense and uncertainty on this account had an injurious effect ujioii the trade in those articles, as from the discussions which took place upon the tariff, it was uncer tain what rate of duties would ultimately be imposed. It did not, however,appear that during the present session those_trea ties had been brought to a conclusion with Portugal, France, Spain and the Brazils. \Y ith regard to Portugal, the | right hand gentleman had stated some time ago, that the government had deter mined to adhere to their last proposal, ! and if it should not lie accepted by Por tugal the treaty would l>e abandoned. With regard to Spain, he had not heard that any treaty was in progress with that country. Again, in reference to a com . rnercial treaty with France, though the | right lion, gentleman stated somo time since that he hoped to be able to conclude such a treaty, it did not appear from any thing he (Lord J. Russell,) had heard ujioii the subject, either from want of power on the part of the French Govern ment, or want of inclination on the part of this country, that the treaty had been concluded. With regard to Portugal, he had not heard that the terms of any trea ty of commerce had been decided upon by the two governments ; on the contra ry, the reports in circulation on the sub ject were unfavorable to such an infer ence. Now he did not ask that the right hon. baronet (Sir l\. Peel.) should at the present time, unless he thought fit to do so, explain the state in which the nego tiations in the several cases he referred to stood; but as the matter wa* one of very great importance, both as it concerned the course of legislation in respect to those articles of foreign produce, as well as in respect to the immediate interests of all persons concerned in the trade of this country, he hoped the right hon. gentle man would be enabled to state, immedi ately after Easter, whether he had any reason to expect the speedy conclusion of any of the treaties referred to; or sup jxising the right hon. baronet should not be in a condition to hold out any san guine hope of an early conclusion of such treaties, that he would be prepared to proceed on those principles which had been laid down last year, and which the right hon. gentleman himself declared were just ones in regard to commerce, and which he (Lord J. Russell,) thought might now be advantageously adopted by Parliament, both with reference to the interests of our own jieople and to the in clination of those other powers who might he desirous of receiving favorably our propositions. It must be apparent, though some commercial treaties might give us great advantages, still it must lie seen that the conclusion of a commercial treaty by an inferior power with a coun try like this might produce jealousy on the part of the country with which the treaty was made, because it would he thought that a country so powerful in its commerce and so renowned for its man ufactures might gain some advantage, to the injury of the other party to the treaty. Therefore, he hoped that the time was come when the right hon. baronet would lie enabled to state that he had effected the several treaties which were in con templation last year, and that the house would at an early period be called upon to consider the bills which would he in troduced in consequence of those treaties, or that the right hon. baronet would feel himself justified in announcing that he was about, without further delay, to pro ceed to deal with those articles in the tar iff which had been left untouched in the previous year. Sir R. Peel said he thought, that al though it might be in his power to state to the House the progress that had been made with regard to commercial treaties, and although he was quite sensible with the noble lord of the great inconvenience to the commerce of the country of carying on long negotiations, at the same time those which had preceded him in office must be well acquainted with the undue apprehensions that were excited in many instances by statements which, in reality, afforded no ground for them. It had happened on many occasions, that when the progress had been made that was an ticipated, and even when they were on the eve of coming to some satis factory arrangement, a change in the Government had taken place, and those not in power when the negotiations com menced had not only to bring those ne gotiations to ati end, but to commence them in their elements. Alarm had al ready been taken in consequence of some answers which, in his desire to give in formation, he had made to questions of this kind, and it had sometimes been the case that such answers had increased the apprehensions they were intended to re move, and therefore, warned by experi ence, he thought it his duty to avoid say ing anything on this subject, except that experience rather inclined him to wish that the question had not been put to him. No doubt it was very desirable to require corresponding concessions on the part of other countries, but it was very difficult to make arrangements of this kind with other powers, and the spread of constitutional principles had by no means increased the facility of doing so. The influence of their own commerce, and commercial and manufacturing in terests with the legislatures of other countries, had also rather increased than abated the evil. At the same time, with resjiect to articles of luxury, on which though the duty was extremely high, there was no danger of smuggling, and a revenue could he raised from them ; if the duty were reduced, it was but natu ral to endeavor to get corresponding ad vantages ; hut with respect to some arti cles of a different description, there might perhaps be great doubt of the advantage of stipulating too far for reciprocal ad vantage. lie hoped the House would not draw any inference, because this was all he felt at liberty to say upon the sub ject. Mr. Labouchere expressed his satisfac tion, at what had fallen from the ri"ht lion, baronet, and hoped he would have it in his power, at no distant time, to in form the house and the country what were the prospects with resjiect to com mercial treaties with those countries with whom negotiations for that purpose had been so long pending. The late Gov ernment had conceived such treaties to be of the highest consequence, and had accordingly entered into a treaty with France in the most large and liberal spirit. For his own part, he had never looked at these tilings as mere bargains between two countries, for the advanta ges were mutual to both, and therefore, he would not stop to inquire whether more advantages were derived from them by one than the other. It was frequent ly the case, as with Portugal, that nego tiations of this kind were obstructed by obstinate prejudices, not so much on the part of the Government as of the jieople ; and it could not be denied that negotia tions which led to no good results might be productive of infinite damage. It must be evident to any one who knew the state of the wine trade during the last few months, that suspense alone was a great evil to the commerce of the coun try. Considering also, how large a part of our revenue depended on the customs duties, we ought to take care how we bound ourselves to any special duty on any article of this kind. He would ob serve, however, that the observations of the right hon. gentleman had relieved his mind of apprehensions he had entertained with regard to the negotiations with the Brazils. He hojied in negotiating with that country, the right hon. baronetwould not stipulate for any particular rate of duty on their articles. If it could be avoided, we ought not to insist with any country for an absolute rate of duty on such articles as sugar and coffee. There was a wide distinction between commer cial treaties and tariff treaties, for what ever he might think of the latter, the for mer he thought, were extremely good things. He did apprehend, however, the right hon. baronet meant to insist, not on ly on a commercial, but on a tariff treaty ; not only on regulations with regard to the slave trade, but with the internal mu nicipal regulations of the Brazils, and ! this, he thought would be very objection able. Sir R. Peel, said he did not think he had stated any thing to-night inconsistent with his declarations last year resjiccting the treaty with the Brazils. Mr. S. Wortley thought that if it were understood to be the sentiments of the Government and the country, that we ought to legislate on this subject without reiercnce to the legislation of foreign powers, there would be at once an end of all ground for negotiation, and that the Government might as well relinquish the attempt to negotiate. It will be as much as to say to foreign powers that we were prepared to give them all advanta ges in negotiation without stipulating for any return ; and with respect to the diffi culty of negotiation, he certainly did not think it desirable that any country with whom we were negotiating should have ground to believe that in case they per sisted in an obstinate refusal to concede advantages to us, we should, neverthe less, adopt the course most advantageous to them. . I)r. Bowing had heard the declaration of the right hon. gentleman with pleas ure, and in that declaration he thought lie could discover the tendency of his mind (hear, hear.) The more he thought of this matter, the more he was convinced, that in order to obtain import ant changes in the tariffs of other coun tries, we must begin by making changes in our own. If you wanted to create an interest in favor of England, you must create it by taking the commodities of the country to which you wished to export your own. At present whilst we sought to reform their tariffs, they only pointed to ours. He had no doubt that if our tar iff was reformed in a wise, generous, and jihilosophic spirit, the reform of other tar iffs would necessarily follow. Mr- Hume was not so sanguine as his hon. friend, yet he believed he was right in principle. As to the commercial trea ty, he could only say that he thought we should be better without a commercial treaty. We ought to do what we thought projier as to our own manufactures, and let other nations do the same with theirs. Nothing could be more unsatisfactory than the present commercial state. If we threw the ports open, by levying only such duties as would raise a revenue .and put down smuggling, we might greatly lessen our exjienses. There was an enormous exjiense attending the jiresent system of high duties. It was a compli cated mode of raising money, and not bringing money to the exchequer. On that ground he concurred in the necessi ty of reviewing our whole system of tax ation. Early Cucumbers. The follow ing article which we extract from a late number of the Hartford Con rant, will be useful to those who wish to raise early cucumbers, and have not the conven ience. “ As I am one of those small farmers whose means are limited, and not having any hot bed, l will state the manner in which 1 forwarded my cucumbers last season, and if you think it worth publish ing you are at liberty to do it. I took a raisin box, cut a piece of turf the size of the box, then cut lengthways and crossways, to make eight pieces. Put it into the box inverted, put in rich soil half an inch deep, placed the box by a stove, sprinkled water on ns occasion re quired, set the box out the south side of the house in pleasant weather, carrying it in nights; and at a projier time I re moved them to the garden. The bene fits of this mode are the little trouble and expense these hard times, and the ease with which they are transplanted. By re moving each piece of turf separately, they seem not to be stunted at all in growth.” True and False Religions.— True and false religions are names that easily engage men’s affections on the liear ingof them; theone being the aversion, the other the desire, at least as they persuade themselves, of all mankind. This makes men forwardly give into these names, wherever they meet with them; and when mention is made of bringing men from a false to the true religion, very of ten without knowing what is meant by those names, they think nothing can he done too much in such a business, which they entitle for God's honor, and the sal vation of men's souls.
