t ored with mnny Gffic.t-s, both civil and

military, the duties of which he dis charged ably and faithfully. The writer of this article, in the days of his infancy, become acquainted with Gen. Boriholomew, and had the honor of being one of his militiamen in the battle of Tippecanoe, and knows him to be a gentleman of veracity, a hero, and a patriot. He was wounded in the battle, in the arm. He now lives in the state of Illinois, honored and respected as a citizen, and beloved as one whose exertions have contributed much to the advancement of western prosperity. His head is whitened by the frosts of seventy winters. He carries upon his arm the "enduring memorials" of savage hostility against Indiana, in the days of her tentorial existence. Is not the testimony of such a man sutlicient to stamp the seal of falsehood upon the charge against Ueneral Harrison, that '-the Indians elected his camping ground"' although such a charge may be made by a host of Van liuren paitizans?

lhat they are merely the servants of the public. It will at least afford a hearing to those who are now debarred from it, and allow them to spread facts before a body that will not and dare not overlook them. One of the first acts of the Senate at the next session of Congress should be to exclude every impudent, garrulous old woman, and scandal maker.

It will be recollected that the Van Buren central committee at Indianapolis published an address in which they urged the county committees through the state to nominate none but Van Buren candidaites from Senators to the Legislature down to the lowest Township officers 'l Unnitb futr of the people this mtw.d ite w us not generally oheyed ; tut in Mari-n count) the caucus nomination was made. Well what is tilt result Why the independent voters of the county have put tif ir veto upon fuch impudent dictators, and left every nominee out of office, except sheriff who owing to the number of candidates for that office, was elected by less than one third of the votes given in the county. It is in this way that Van's prospects are brightening in Indiana.

The French Frigate ErtemUe arrived at New York a few days ago, from Martinique, and proposed, according to custom, an exchange of salutes with the forts of Governor's Island, but not a gun was mounted, and they were unable to comply with that national formality! What a pleasent condition we should have been in now, if Congress had not complied with General Jackson's recommendation eighteen months ago, and gone to war with France! The first seaport in the United States is eo utterly defenceless, lhat a gun could not be found to return a salute to a French frigate ! How well then would it have been prepared to return the broadside of a squadron! Thai ks to Henry

TEXAS AND MEXICO. The news from Texas hgtfin becomes interesting. An army of Mexicans has once more invaded that unhappy country, and devastation and slaughter inevitably ensue. While the Mexicans have been making these preparations, a strange delusion seems to have overcome the leaders of the Texian Revolution. They have failed to avail themselves of the advantages which the defeat of Santa Ana and his forces gave them. Nothing has been done since that time. No battle has been fought the Mexicans have not been driven out of the Territory, as

I they could have been the Tex

ian forces have not been recruited or organized and it is to be feared, that the Mexicans will, in all probability, find them unprepared to resist an army so superior in numbers though deficient in courage. , The New Orleans Courier, of the 2d inst savs : Cantain Reed

The following letter from General Bartholomew, one of the pioneers of the weft, who commanded as a colonel of militi, tn the battle of Tippocanoe. is tillered as additional evidence to prove the falsehood of the oft repeated charge against General Harrison on ihe subject of this sacred rpot of earth, where repose the a-hesof a Daviess, of nn Owen, of Saucer, and host of others whose blood w8 ghed upon the altar of patriotism, on the memorable

The New York Star says 'Cambreleng has lost his standing in Tammany Hall, by bolting on the Depos lie Question. The Loco Focos say he should have stood his groand,and voted in favar of taking the money from the monopolists and giving it to the people. The real colar men 6ay that he ihouid have kept his seat, and voted with his leader against the bill. So that poor Camberleng, between two stools comes to the ground at last.'

Latest from the South -There is now no doubt that the notorious lim Henry, the half breed Uchee,and the most daugerousof the enemicsof the whites, has been taken. He was surrounded by the friendly Indians under Jim Boy, and compelled to surrender with 150

warriors. It was (eared that he hhd escvped into Florida, but he was ta ken in the Creek nation, but a few miles from Euskecgee. He, was put in irons al Fort Mitchell, and will doubtless expiate with his life the many cold-i looded butcheries of which he has lately been the chief author &. instigator. Nea Mathla, together, with 1500 other hostile, including men, women, Bnd children, were on the same day marched ell to Arkansas. They are to travel all Ihe way bv

steamboats from Montgomery, (Ala.) The Creek difficulties are over. The party w ho had ''broken off on (heir way to Florida (which had been

supposed to be under the command of Jim Henry) must have been led by some olherchief, though r.o less blood thirsty. At the last accounts they were in Baker county, and had been

just overtaken and brought to a fight

by a pursuing party ; the result was not yet known. This intelligence is by Augusta and Charleston papers of the 6th inst. We regret (0 learn that the garrison of Fort Drane is very sickly. Out of two hundred and forty men, one hundred and thirty were 6ick. Out of eight officers at the post, five were sick. Col. Henileman the cemmander died on the 27lh June. At the post at G a rev's ferry, there were about fifty familres from the interior, all sickly, and from two to four were 6jing daily, from Chills and Measles. We find no confirmation of the re ported death of Oseola (Powell.) Meiropohlcn.
