Marcy’s C i.-iand by the Camanches —The Fort Smith (Ark. eraid of the 17th inst.hus.the following important intelligence : Two expresses arrived in this city to Colonel VVil- ! son. Commander o t th** Fort, one from Fort A buck le the other from Fort Washita,on Wednesday even ing last, bringing the melancholy and distressing in telligence ol the destruction of the expedition to the head waters of Red River, and murder of Capt. Marcy and the whole of his command, about eighty ; men. i It appears that a Waco cliiei came into Fort A, buck le a lew days ago, und stated, that when out on the plains with his band of Indians, about twenty days’ travel from Arbuckle, a company of Camanches and Kioways c .me into his camp, some of them dressed ] in soldiers’ clothes, and others with bayonets fasten- . ed to sticks, and others articles he knew belonged to tro ps, aud that they stated to him that as the Cam aliened were on their way to attack the post on the Brazos, they came across Capt. Marcy’s expedition, and when the same discovered him, they went into his camp, and he gave them presents, aud tuen left. At night, the Indian* succeeded in getting up a stampede among the horses and mules, anc. a tnem after which., about six o’clock, or aboul ‘light, they attacked the command, there being nl- i thousand Indians, and fought all that day, i the , next day they succeeded in killing oil the wliole com pany. It is also reported by the same chief, thalthe Cam inches intend s tacking Fort Arbuckle and the ! posts on the Crazos. .ie &ays that ho escaped by giving up all ihe the peltries, &c., that he had, and was gia ito get off by that means. The Wacos live in the neighborhood of Fort Arbuckle, and the ; officers at the head have full confidence in the report. • The expresses sent in from Arbuckle and Washita . show plainly that an attack is apprehend ’d In- ! deed, reports of the gathering of the Cammiches in a ! body, and their determination to attack the whites, has been frequent in this place for the hist four or five months, and it accords with r!. statesman made by Col. Humphries, of Fort Washiia, who went out ; sometime ago to trade with them, and was robbed by fcthem.hia companions murdere i, und ho barely •wade his escape—an account oi which whs publish ed in the Herald two weeks ago. If tnis report prove to be true, and there appears to be not much room to doubt it. an Indian war is inevitable. There mu.t be a combination of all the wild tribes th t main over Mexico* The real streng th of these Indians is not known, and when com bin'd will present a formidable force that the United .-rates will find very hard to subdue. The prairies west will afiord the Indiana means of avoiding troops us intricate as the hammocks ot Florida. They extend tor hundreds of miles, a. and in m. ny places are nothing but Sandy* plain, upon w hich man inn beast can find sustenance, being generally destitute ol water. The Indians areacquuinted with the prairies, and knew every hiding place and place. ter retreat, most oi them being inaccesdbl i to the a hites. T..ere is but one regiment of troops on the Brazos, and that regiment having only halt its compliment of men. divided into two posts, some distance apart, and are therefore, m no situation to meetalarg -and formidable band of Indians and are so lar from the white settlements as to be able to get no aid from that quarter. We regret exceedingly the lossofso many valuable lives, and we are led to mourn over the sad latent Captain Marcy, an: intimate friend, and an enterpri sing, high minded officer, of the army, and Dr. G. G. Shutnard,ari ainiubie and respectable,’physician oi our city ; also Captain Strain, of Fort Ouachita, and Mr. J. R.Suydam, of New York, who accompanied the expedition for pleasure, besides others of less note, but whose lo?s to their frinds will be nothing the leos on that account,and will till their hearts with sadness and grief. An express left here on Thursday morning for Little llock, with disp itches from the commander of this post, for Washington City. Thk Late Volcanic Eruption at th .Sand, wich Islands.—The annexed very interesting no tice of a visit to the scene of the late eruption, is copied from the San Francisco Pacific : tless have seen already in the Po’yue mt of the recent eruption on Maoua Loa; out as it was mv privilege to he a near eye wit ness of it for 24 hour*, when its action was the most magnificent, 1 will Bend you a brief description of what I saw and heard. The first eruption on t o summit of Manua Loa, about 14,500 feet above the level of the sea, I oniy saw in the far distance, it he - ing on the Hilo side, and opposite from us. That outbreak was very sudden, and as seen at Hilo, was most magnificent—where though some 60 mdes distant, the light was o great e v > awaken the alum, boring inhabitants. This wa curly in the morning of February 17th, it continued its action only about 21 hourd, then all was quiet again, and it was u*a posed that the internal tires had sufficiently disgorg ed themselves, but ea ly on the morning of ihe 20th it burst out again with great fury, hah way down the mountain, iu the very direction of Hilo It sent forth a liquid stream ot greut depth,and width, wa.eh flowed at the rate ot s vend miles uu hour, threat ening ruin to the village and bay ol Hi 10,36 milas distant. 1 his stream continues to flow, but with di minished activity for more than three weeks. It ceased to flow entirely, before it reached Hilo, end ing the painful suspi ose so long felt here. The light of the vole >w at night was very great il luminating the surrouj rig countiy tor many tn: distant, and giving tc overhanging clouds appearance ot an immeii i ody of fire. Alter v n easing this lor several r> i ts. my desire to visi. became so strong, that I rtvolved co make the long aud tedious journey, to take a near view of this grand display of the Almighty's power. Accompa nied by Mr Fuller, I set out on the Ist day of March After traveling through tne woods and over wide districts ol naked lava, we arrived n* the vicinity of the eruption on the forenoon of tin* third day. les deep, unearthly roar, which we began to hear early on the day before, •• waxed louder und louder,” as we drew nearer and nearer the action until it resembled the roar ot to.: ocean’j b;llo.vs when driven by the force of h lurricune, against a rock bound coa-t; or liKt; the deafening roar of Nine ara. Wh first reached the deep channel, through which a wide stream oi liquid lava had down uown the mountain, desolating an area of vast extent; it hao ceused to flow in riii - direction, but was flowing still at a distance,at winch we gazed with delight. The main stream was still at a little distance, which wo could not approach, on account of tie* great heat; but at r.igbt we nud a tine view of tie- li *ty nver, at no great distance from our encampm nt Though fiie” lava gushed out in several’places lik water springs, yet the main fountain was one ol indescri bable grandeD” In the midst of a forming cone, with a base of 200 or 300 feet, th-*re shot up a jet of ch ar liquid lava to the height ol irom 400 to * ! ! fret combing in t accent and descent ail t - ueuuiies of the finest water fountains—jet Hitei jet a rend* in constant and regular succession <1 y al l ■ r (i*.v —de al ending, it must lull back in the and u'i r. but s< me Min-*.- iteell spattering on its siur- ami iwwt-a down, u lilting with the main stream. The outer poitions cooled to a blackened mass while in the air—tin* up 2„*r and lighter portions were carried by theproppll- Jmg force to the regoins of the clouds, and fell in showers over the surrounding country. The intense heat of the fountain and stream ot la va, caused an influx of cool air in every quaiter; this created terrific whirlwinds, which constantly stalk ing about, like so many sentinels, bade deli n v te the daring visitor. These were the most d.ui 5 . * cus of any thing about the volcano. Sometimes we were compelled to prostrate ourselves for safety. Oncewe ventured withiu abouta quarter ol a mile of ot the great jet; soon one of the most Tribe whirl, winds formed at ihe crater, and advance i tr. ight towards u-.threatening us with in-t nt auiu; but tor, tuuatelyforus.it pent its to cm. .mo turned to tin lijht, caving u--to imke a rapid r* trout.

The two cor..tending element presented a most wonderful spetaete.— When the strife censed, the fountain appeared in action, n though nothing hau occurred.— Clouds apptoachmg the volcano were driven hack, and set moving in wild contusion. Tfiealnre ot the liquid fountain was very great, even when the sun was phinina but. at night it was vastly more so. casting the light 1 nearly a tuli moon iu the shade, and turning night into day.- Spending the night near the eruption, during its greatest action, we felt ourselves highly privileged, j Very few mortals have had the opportunity ot hearing such a deep unearthly roar, and of witness ing such a molten river—such a lofty, fiery fountain—such terrific whirlwinds and agitated clouds, all at the same time, and within a little space. Such a scene is calculated to till on* with feelings of awe and reverence towards the great Author ot Na ture's wondrous works. With great reluctance we left a spectacle so rra”. and retraced our steps — that day we reached the old volcano Kilauea, and spent tfie night on the brink ot the crater—not much j action there at present.

It is unnecessary or him to say more, and he will therefore allow Mr. Lane to speak for him self. To the Patrons of the Journal. The relations to-day established of reader and editor, between the Patrons of the Journal and the undersigned, render it incumbent upon him to ad j dress himself to them in a few remarks, by way of j inaugural.

These circumstances, as well as his own taste in such matters, admonish him to be as brief as possible. The undersigned has little experience to bring with him into his comparat vely new vocation his position as editor of a daily journal is a novel one, and he hopes to be excused there fore. it he should seem s. me what chary of those pledges and promises which so often give merit to a Salutatory.

Mr. Editor: —Having just arrived from theiute | rior of your State via Savannah,! beg leave to sy 1 | a few words in relation to the route selected, which, j I throughout, is equal, if not superior to any other I in the United States. One week ago I left Marietta I per Atlantic <fc Western Rail Road, which by the way i has undergone aeomplete revolution in every de partment, since the appointment of the present wor thy superintendent. The road i6 now in good order and the public may feel less apprehensive of the loss of li eor limb, than formerly. Besides, those who are in the employ of the company are attentive to the comforts of the passengers. In an hour vve ar rived at the city of Atlanta,where we had the choice j of taking either the Georgia Rail Road by Augusta, , or the Macon & Western Centra! Rail Iload, by j j Macon and Savannah. I preferred the latter, and 1 ‘ | believe that in so doing I selected the most comfort able,and as speedy a& that by Augusta. These roads ; i areall in good order, and the attention,of the conduc- 1 | on the Central Rail Road, are worthy i of particular notice. After spending two days in Savannah, where l found your merchants very accommodating and offering goods at reasonable prices, 1 took passage j in the fine steamship Florika , Capt. Lyon, on Satur day last. At one o'clock P. M. the order was g von to cast off* At 3 o’clock P. M. we crossed the bar ; off Tybee. aud a* 10 P. M. on Monday night, Sandy Hook light was in sight, thus making the passage’ from light to light, in fifty-five hours, with a strong j breeze right ahead on the last day. To say ny thing in relation to the superiority of these boat-, or their gentlemanly officers, would be superfluous, : as they are well known. Mr. Chick the chief stew-j j ard, is also well known to all who have ever sat, | downat his table, but, to t ose who have not, he is | not so weli known, us it requires an experimental , knowledge to appreciate his abilit'es by those wiio , have no practical knowledge of what he can do; I 1 say let them take only one trip in the Florida, and j I they will fin-1 to their satisfaction that he is no I Chick en in his line of business, but on the contrary : j is vv o satisfy all reasonable epicures—; ! I hau. ....ii i.o say unreasonable ones too, for I can j not suppose any thing else could be desired—it is j , also rumored that he can effectually cure sea sick. 1 ness. On yesterday afternoon there was quite a limitary j display of the Irish companies, which was supposed ! to be got up in relation to the affair the nigbtprovi • ou, viz : the attempt to rescue the prisoner Kaine from the police. Koine, as you are aware, either j attempted or did actually commit murder in Inland and escaped io this country ; lie has been claimed : by the British authorities, and one decision of a court was that he should be delivered up agreeabiy t > the existing treaty between the United S tales and England-—a number of his countrymen, howto er, becaim interested, and subscribed liberally in money before a higher court —the case lies over until this . afternoon, when probably anot- er attempt will be made to rescue the prisoner, but will no doubt fall | in their efforts. On the arrival of a countryman from the interior 1 of Georgia in the great emporium of good and evil, : one of the first things that attracts the attention is i the great hurry and bustle that eveiy one appears ! to be in ; the people seem to nearly run over each I us they push onward—some clothed in fine linen, while others are in the rags of Lazarus, and from appearances would as gladly receive the crumbs from the table of the former,as did hevi'.-o was laid at the rich man’s gate in former days. Another interesting scene is the “Peter Funk” auction -hops, which have increased oflate years, notwithstanding the attempt, to stop their swindling operations— itis really amusing to hear the auctioneer sere lining at the top of his voice, “a fine gold watch going at a great sacrifice for twenty-five dollars,” whilst Mr. Funk will step near the door and examine it careful • ly in full view Qf the crowds as they pass, hoping that some unfortunate “green one” may be enticed into their den, where if he goes, and attempts to purchase, he is sure of getting weli fleeced, if not en tirely stunned. I had the curiosity to step into one ■ of these places to see how the thing was done—the uetione *r had a box belorehim with what I thought about twelve or fifteen articles, such as a pistol,f a razor, knife, pencil case, <fcc., calling out only ten | cents a piece for this lot—ten cents—ten cents—going going-- when Peter again looked anxious to pur* ’ chase wniiot lie eyed a countryman who also thought no doubt of making a bargain—twelve and a half said Mr. Funk—at the same time remarking loud ■ ‘ eno : ii tote heard by the countryman to another Funk, that he could get from twenty five cents to j half a dollar for each article—the bait took and thr countryman bid fifteen cent.-, when after a lew calls by the *uctioneer, they wen; declared Bold, and the poor victim was requested to step to the Lookkecp er and receive hie bill and goods—he did so, and laid down a five dollar b.li.expeciiiig nboiu tbr ee dollars change, when they p.- sented a bill ot -m *• hundred • ; and eighty pier* •* nt 3.5 cents euch making twenty seven dollars, ar; 1 rnquin 1 if lie wished to leave the five or: deposit—the mao protested he only bought \ 1 and so, whilst they protested he bought all that w$ in the bill which included som* whereabout a qua* ‘ of brass rings at L 5 cents each—the ’; t I saw of theY affair vv.’ s the coat of the poor victim,and the proba bility of the pi lice being: called—so I left. The Lundy’s Lone celebration is progressing, but Seward and Grecly seem to have too much interest in the matte for the good of the South. Scott is not so popular in this city as I anticipated, and many wbigs, openly declare that he will not carry this State. The particulars however you will get in the papers, so i will not enlarge on this subject. Thisletter I presu ue will not be very interesting to your readers, but they willno doubt excuse A CRACKER Telegraphed for the Kepnblicnn.
