From the (Ark.) Little ON | TIIRKATENED LYDIAN HOsTIL^r I | THE SOUTH-w Lte 1 EftN I le * K - We heard, some weeks since, that consid erable alarm has been excited on* tne south side of Red River, in Texas, m consequence of its heing ascertained that the Mexican go vernment “was sending emissaries among the south western tribes, for the pur|><>se of en gaging them in a league to massacre or drive ali the inhabitants from that section of Texas, and that one of those emissaries (a Mexican officer) had been shot by a friendly Mexican, nnd his sword, epaulette, journal, and other papers, with his rutile and trappings, carried to the nearest friendly post —all which infor mation, together with a copy ot the journal, had been sent to the commanding officer at Fort Towson; but we fell some scruples a bout noticing the report, until received in a more tangible shape. We now learn, how ever, by an officer of the army, direct from Fort Gibson, that the same information and journal had b.en received by express, by Gen. Arhuckle, commanding that post, who consi dered it of * > much importance, that be im mediately ordered twoe.o.iipaniesol dragoons, under the command >!*Ctpl. IVenor, to F ori Towson, where they will act as circumstan- ces may require. We also learn,by a gentleman from Hemp-; stead county, that several families residing i south of lied River, hive been so much a larmed by the report, that they have removed across tne river, into tiiis Slate,an I that con siderable alarm still existed in most of the set- . dements south of the river. These reports, from being corroborated . from so rnioy different and respectable sour- 1 ce3, leave us no too o to dmd.t tL;t a deep laid plan has been formed by die Mexican | government, to rid tlie Texian country ol all its white inhabitants, hvemploying the neigh- j boring Indian tribes to aid in driving them off, or massacreing them —liie bounty offered, j being a division of all the country they may j succeed in depopulating, together with the j effects and property of the inhabitants among j the captors. Since the above was written, we have been i favored with the perusal of a letter from G n. Arhuckle, addressed to tlw Governor of this State, together with a copy of die journal of the Mexican officer alluded to ab> ve, and two ! letters frm T xns, one of which is from D. A. G. Wright, (who translated* the journal.) dated Lima, on FL-d R ver, ‘25 miles east of the Eausst e W ashita, 21st August last, and the other from M. J. W. Green, written a- ; bout the same time—both detailing flnrijjP, the operations of die hpHtik; ‘party, and their ■ hpprehending a general war in Hint quarter. We publish below the letter of Gen. Ar buckle, in which it will be seen that Captain Collins, who has charge of the ordnance stores at this place, been ordered to fur nish such munitions of war as may be requir ed for the use of our militia. Our limits only permit us to make the fol lowing extracts from the other letters: Mr. Wright says —‘ ‘There is, at tiiis time, on the head waters of the Trinity, and west ofit, and on the Sabine, both north and south, various tribes of Indians and Mexicans pre pared tor ban: \ and many are now crossing, it is believed to join the other tribes. Mexi co has had he,-nfi-.TS since May last in actu al service, buying over the Indians both in Texas an i the Umte.i States, and have suc ceeded. Numbers ofCherokees have passed across Red river, and have formed a rendez vous at the Cherykee town on the Sabine. — You may look for one blow to be struck, that j Will lay waste our country from Nacogdoches to Fort Gibson, unless an army be in readi ness on our frontiers immediately. 5 The Mexican officer, iie says, was killed by a vomirr •••■** wnom ne had employed as; a pilot and iuterp eter. At the close of his letter, he adds a note to the following efli ct: That he had just received a letter in Span ish, from Gen. Felisola, (the Commandant of j the Mexican forces,) in which he orders his officers to offer the entire country to the In dians, and those who partake in the war, and all goods, chattels, &.c. taken, to be held in reserve, and placed in deposite, to be equally ] distribuled at the close of ilie war; that no j time is to he lost in establishing posts to facil-; ilate communications to him, to enable him to send double forces to the weakest points ; to stop at nothing ; to make one general rush, and to conclude the war at a blow, he does not care in what wav ; and to receive the fa milies and children as hostages for the govern ment to dispose of at the close of the war. Mr. Green urges, in his letter, that every ni;in who can be mustered, be despatched immediately to the frontier, to meet the Indi ans. He says, 1 vve have direct imformation that Capt. Farmer and thirty of his men have been killed on ihe Sabine, hv the Indians, within the last three days. Blandiezs’, Lew is’, and several other plantations have been sacked, and their places surrounded, since *S..t inlay, by hostile Indians. The road is com pletely lined with wagons for the prairies.’ The journal of the Mexican officer is a brief memoranda of every day’s proceedings from the 2Gth May to the 12th August lt*at, noting the different tribes he visited, their j h", propositions for j them to i in him, See. ; and leaving no doubt of the errand he was on, and that he found but little difficulty in persuading the Indians to accept his invitation to wage a war of ex termination of the people of Texas. It and oesnot appear, from any ofthe papers, that there is any intention to commence hos tilities against the people of this State; hut that would Inflow as a necessary consequence, j if they prove successful against (he Texians. j We are glad tint Gen. Arb iokU has acted i with such promptittitle, in despatching n por- , titin of his command to Red river, where J they may have it in their power to renderes- j sential service in protecting that frontier from ! encroachment, an I where, also, they may he j employed in preventing any of the Indian tribes residing north of Red river, from join- i ing those south of that river, in waging war I on the citizens of Texas. We presu e the ! Governor will take die necessary steps for j having our militia organized and in readmes* t ... . . I to march to the post of danger, in the event oi their services being required—bn* our own impression K that they will not he required. Tiie plans of r e Mexicans, we think, have j been developed sooner than they intended. \ nn 1 when thev fin 1 the Texians prepared for 1 them, we doubt not thev will abandon their j project and withdraw, at least for a time, within their on n limits.

The plan is to avati himseif, he says,! ;‘ of the wind which prevails eleven months ! in the year, leading into YVexiord and Fisli j guard harbors, vvitii tides a-beam, which ; would insure punctuality ;’ whereas he says, j the Holyhead packets have repeatedly taken | three (.lays to perform the voyage between 1 1 Kingston and Holyhead, a distance of only ! j sixty two miles. He proposes to extend (he j j Great \\ estern Railway to Fishguard, thence | to Wexf iti by steam packets and by railway; thence to Dublin. By this plan he says only I One mail between London and every part of lieiand will be requisite; and the London mails can arrive in me most distant parts of Ireland in fifteen hours. Regarding the A merican voyage, he adds, a railway from Wexford to Valentis, as a foreign packet sta tion, will bring Gieat Britain and America within seven days sail by steam packets.— This plan is similar to the one suggested sonic lime before the cesign of steam communica tion between England and New York was j carried into execution. It was then proposed j more fully to cair.V ‘.‘ ut lht ’ p !a n ‘ 3 this side! !of the Atlantic, by constructing a rail road 1 j from New York the whole length of Long!

Editors: — 'l lie celebrated horse j j M tzeppn, whose interesting performances iti j the play ol the same name, have so often de- i J lighted our Southern audiences, arrived on I Monday lost, Irom New \'oik in the ship j j Anson, after a passage of thirteen days,; | during four of which the vessel experienced 1 two severe storms, and having been in the | j same vessel myself, and in consequence of the j ! confined air of the cabin, neccss.rated to re- i i main on deck, had an opportunity of wit- 1 nesting an exhibition of suffering- and saga -i cuy in this wonderful animal, a reciial of; which may prove interesting to some of your readers. The first storm commenced i on the 9th inst., wind blowing a gale from I the N. W. The horse, as is usual, was con fined in a close stall, winch was padded on ’ all sides, to secure as much as puss ble the 1 comfort ofthe animal, but the violence ofthe j wind and waves was so great, tlial the ani mal was thrown with such force to and fro, that I: J body was shockingly cat and lace ; rated, and but for t!.-■ canvass slings which j were placed about his body he must inevi ! tably have been swept Sway ; and while the | sttfrm was at iis height, the horse, with a dis : play of sagacity rarely witir =srd. was seen . j to brace himself, as the sailors termed it,; * litre and aft,’ by taking hold of the manger j with lii.s mouth and teslmg on the rear bar of the stai! with his tail, and in this manner i ! endeavored to support himself, all the time : j groaning most piteously from the pain occa- j . sinned by h;s many wounds. The food winch j Iliad been provided fir the passage was so j ; damaged by the salt water as 1o be unfit for j j use, and the horse was kept al ve by means; ! of a bag ofapp! s, which was kindly tender \ ed by Dr. De La Motta, a passenger, who ! j had provided them tor his own use.

THE ELECTIONS. Now that tk elections are over,and victory ] ; perches upon the standard of our opponents,! j perhaps it maj not he useless for us calmly | to contemplate the ground we occupy, as : well as the piespcct before us. Is the defeat i that we li ive just suffered one of little mo , tneni? was tie. contest a mere struggle for j party ascendancy—or was l one in which ’ great principle were involved? If the for j mer only, it of but littie consequence, so j that those elevated to office are true to the j interest and ginry of the republic. If the .■- cu,-j. cause for self con- j demnaiion, and are deeply ana,, rhlp t,, our j injured country. In ihe first place ihen, what are the lead j ing measures advocated by the democratic ; parly ? what principles are they, as a party, seeking to preserve and perpetuate? One jof the leading articles of their political faith ; is, an uncompromising opposition to monop olies and exclusive privileges of all kinds.— They believe that a literal interpretation should be given to that clause of the consti tution which declares that ‘ exclusive privi leges shall not be granted.’ They believe in the soundness of that doctrine boldly put forth by the sages of the revolution, that ‘ all men are born equal;’ lienee it results, tiiai ! we oppose, upon the highest authority, the establishment es a great monied monopoly by Congress, not only on account of its dan ! gerous tendency, not only because it is at ! • war with the genius of our free institutions, hut for the further reason that it is at war I with lhe great charter of our liberty. The i ° - ; Democratic party holds that the people are ; the true and only legitimate source of all 1 power ; and hence, whatever is likely in I its tendency to impair or destroy the free ! nnd calm exercise of the elective franchise ; : whatever tench in its consequences to foster j | and cherish a rival influence, will ever meet j with the firm and uncompromising op pc is i- j lion of that party. A strict and literal construction of the Fe ■ deral Constitution, is another of the leading | articles of their faith. They believe that al! ! the powers intended to be conferred upon the federal government, were specifically conferred by shat instrument, and that no thing is left (conference or implication. That the government, as it stands, is sufficiently energetic lor ail the purposes of liberty ; and that under a proper ex-icise of those powers tiie rights of the states or of tiie people are not endangered from its overshadowing in fluence. 8 And lastly, ihey rally around (he standard of L nion. They hold that the blessings of | liberty ; the perpetuity of our gloi ions institu | ttons ; the honor and welfare of our common ! country, purchased by the blood of our c>rti tnon ancestry, is better preserved by United America, presenting one grand and impreg nable front, than by the separate, divided, in.!, it may be, the discordant and belligerent members of which it is composed. Tiiese, freemen of Georgia, are the princi- : j pies which lia e suffered defeat in the late ; elections; principles which, in our humble I opinion, you are called upon, by every corisi- • deration that can bind you to country, as sa- , credly and as zealously to support as you would the society of the domestic hearth, your homes and your firesides. But because we have suffered partial de j feat, shall'we give up the ship* We feel, that every Republican answers no. Though defeated, we are not conquered. Our prin ciples yet remain; the Constitution is ve! 1 unimpaired ; our country’s flag yet waves ! proudly over us, and if true to ourselves and the holy cause of truth, we shall rise, Phce-1 R’X like, in all our native strength and ma jesty. Where is the man who is willing to! forsake his colors ? Nail your flag to the mast, and n >b!y determine to shield it from danger or fall defending it. If we are not i greatly mistaken in the materials of which the Democracy of Georgia are comprised, our opponents will soon have to say with j the usurpers of Scotland’s crown, ‘ We have ‘ scotched the so kc. not killed iff’ THE RACES—CONTINUED. i In our paper of last week we gav-e the] result of the first two days racing, and have ] now to begin with tiie third day, three mile j heats, which was a race ol considerable inte rest, although the pace was too slow for I‘crack nags,’ and the ‘old ones’ shook their I heads and cried, ‘a very slow race', a very slow race.’ It resulted as follows: Col. Crowell’s imp. f. Susan Dodge, by Tramp, dam by YVhisker, 3 ys old, 83 lbs. 1 l Mr. Jeter’s s. c. Henry Buster, by Eclipse, dam by The Maid of Lodi, by Virginia, 5 ys. old, 100 lbs 2 2 Gen. Scott’s b. f. Reveille, by Ber- I trar.d, dam Sally Melville, by Vir ginia, 4 years old, 07 ibs. 33 Purse SSOO. Time, 6.3 ; G. 7. The owner of Henry Buster declared him out of order at the lime his entry was made. I he contest on the four mile day was be tween Count ■ Zaldevar and Gerow, no other horses having entered. They both came upon the track to all appearance in good order. It was generally thought that Gerow j had‘the order’ of the Count, but for our j I selves, we were disposed to believe otherwise. ; The Count was undoubtedly the best ordered j horse; Gerow was carrying 100 much beef. Trie odds at starting were five to four on | Gerow, and the friends of the Count, while ! they held the best hand, were actually ‘ bluff ed off’ bv excessive bragging. The Count j won the track, took the lead from the word ‘‘go, 5 and maintaiied it at ease throughout | the race, never save in one instance being passed by Gerow during the eight miles run. j This was evidently the result of a mistake, j and occurred in this way: The rider of Gerow, on terminating the third nile of the ■second hr;.; mistook it for tiie fwtH mile, I ianti • rnned up, uti’uei ‘KiT . - <t. a t 1 ‘he had made the fuli heat. Chari e, the rider i of Count Zildevar, who is in himself a small | -'hunk of Ethiopian politeness, as well as a beautiful race rider, discovering that his an- I ingontst had come well uigli to a dead halt. j ° :aiso drew a ‘ taught rein’ upon his noble steed, at the very moment of doing which l!u A rider of Gerow had received item to ‘ go on.’ and vvitb rein and spur dashed forward and ! gained tiie inside track. This was a moment j big with excitement; and the heat was almost j unanimously accorded to Gerow, great confi : deuce ag flt in his game, and he being (siipi •. J to possess a good share of foot. ’ But Charlie rising in his stirrups, for the first land only time, we believe, duriiwr the race. I • ° ‘ gave his gallant courser a delicate toucl, of [the spur, and he sprang into his track again! i quick and nimble as a fox would jump at the j ! cry of the hounds. The race was one of| s much interest, owing to the high reputation ;of both horses. Tiie time was slow, but the ] track was heavy ; and the Count, to our eye, ! ran under a hard puli, and strode at his ease jin*ail the race. Each successive round as j they passed the judge’s stand, the cry of | ‘ hold him Charlie,’ rang from the friends of I the Count, and the little fellow’s arms fairly j cracked under the severe pull which he had i upon Ms horse, and he gave token of his ! pleasure at running m the lei W grinning j the discovery of a fine set of ivory from ear jto ear.

THE BRUTE ASSASSIN !| On Monday momma;, between the hours of I three and Four o’clock, the alarm of fi e was given, and the lurid flame was seen burstingi forth in the direction of Court House square. Go hastening to the spot, we found the Court | House wrapped in fames, as also the offices jof the Clerks of the Superior and Interior! , Courts, standing on trie same lot, some twenty | yards distant from trie Court House, andj [being entirely separate. \ The old Court] i House was but triflino’ in v'shte, and beside,! . . . . ‘ our city authorities are m the act os building anew one; but the great inconvenience andj j loss consequent upon the fire, is found in the i j fact of the Cleiks’ offices being destroyed, together with all the books, papers, etc. con nected with the offices, and appertaining to ( tty? Superior Court more especially, as the fail term of said Court was to have com , menced its session on the same day o the j ; catastrophe, namely, last Monday. , This was doubtless the work of an incen [ diary—some pitiful, base wretch, who proba-j b!y stood amenable to the requirements of. tile law, at the present term of Court, either , ]in criminal or civil prosecutions, and who lighted the torch with his own vde hand, that] he might witness at the dead hour of night, 1 when vigilance herself had (alien asleep, the; iconsummation of his fiend-like wishes, and; • have the hellish pleasure of saying to himself,I i thus pryi,;fuih the retard! k ! Poor fool! let him know that justice can not be burned, but is of herself a consuming j flame to tiie wicked. On the same morning, a most brutal act was committed by a negro man upon an old colored woman and her daughter, who lived without protection in the suburbs of the city. Whilst they were sitting at breakfast, the negro man entered the house with an axe, and commenced his tbul work by striking the old woman a blow upon the head with the axe, which brought her to tiie floor, and then turning to the daughter gave her a similar blow, breaking her skull, aid leaving jier i:i a situation from which it is doubtful whether she will recover. These acts were commit ted—as acknowledged by tiie negro man on his examination before Justice Clarke— with a view to plunder and rob, the old woman Judah having in her possession, as we have been informed, some five or six hun dred dollars. The villain, however, missed his booty, having obtained only a pocket-hook containing the woman Judah’s free papers, hut no in ney. The wretch is now in jail, awaiting his trial. The night preceding tiie perpetration of the foregoing deeds of bold and vilianons daring, a forgery was committed, and three horses sfolerftfmm a stable in the city. Verily, it is high time that our good citi zens had awakened to the protection of their lives and property; and,we call upon the police to sum lip from their lethargic slum bers—organise a regular and efficient patrol —establish committees of vigilance, and blow the blast of terror ami alarm to prowling vagabonds, thieves and murderers, who hang as nn infernal incubus upon the skirts of our population.

Although riot a siarof dazzling bright ness, yet he is the chaste and gentle light, which shines with pure and steady beam, and on which the beholder may gaze with quiet and increasing satisfaction. His performance of the Stranger, on Tuesday evening, was marked throughout with grace and strength, and showed how closely and accurately he had studied the part. Some of his readings were beautiful, and *his voice, though weak, is soft, touching, and musical. His studious habits, should his health sustain him, wifi advance him to tire highest walks of the drama. * Mrs. Hart, the accomplished lady of the manager, has been often paragraphed in the newspapers of this city, as well as in sister’ cities; but although known, she is not pro : perly appreciated. Heis is not the style of acting which will carry a house as by storm, but rather the quiet, gentle ‘ play,’ which in sinuates upon ttie feelings, end rules by per suasion rather than by force. She is a self taught actress, without the advantages to be derived from highly finished schools; h it still she would not suffer by a comparison with many who ha're been brought up at the fee* of Melpomene.

A New York paper says, that Morris’ lines of ‘ Woodman spare that tree,’are applied to Bunker Hill Monument. The first time we ever heard of the aforesaid monument being a tree. Gen.

So it appears from the results, so far as ascertained, that tiie Clay and Bank ticket for Congress in Geor gia iias succeeded, aiul this State wilt be regularly en tered on the ti~-;, as a Ciay and Biddle State!! sand we presume that a regular Ciay and Bank electoral ticket for President, v.i'd be nominated by the party in power. We draw these conclusions from the fact, that Messrs. Habersham and Dawson, being avowedly ill favor of Mr. Clay and a United States Bank, have each received perhaps the highest vote in the State, and the whole balance of the ticket being avowedly oo uosed to a constitutional Sub-Treasury, have all been elected. Under these ciicumstances, there can be no doubt that the opposition parly will cling to the princi ples which have brought them into power, and that j they will support Mr. Olay for the Presidency. ‘ldle question then is fairly at issue in the State of i Georgia.

The piece alluded 10, is signed 1 V> m. L.

Can it be true that lie j.ns suffered such conduct as j is stated by Mr. Griffin, to pass with impuni ty —in fact, even sanctioned it —when he has inflicted the severest punishment on others for rerimes of comparatively a trivial nalure? !f these charges are true, the Doctor must certainly have 4 gouged’ the beam out of his own eye, when he saw the mote in ibe eyes of those to whom he gave ‘ Moses’ Law’for trying to escape from * durance vile.’ But, as I am told the Doctor reads your paper you will please give him an opportu nity of speaking for himself, by publishing ! the article that it may meet his eye, and by so doing, much oblige his friend, HENRY.
