with an American Army, and that with the tinction of the President, on the ground that Mexico has violated the Treaty by inciting the Indi ana against us. We refer the reader to a letter JateJ New Orleans, April -.'-'d. i he account in our piper of to-day of the taking of the Mexican Army, and of the shooting of Santa Anna, is too .rood we fear,to be true. Rut time will determine, j We shall look for further informat;on, from that quarter, with a feverish interest. Col. Crockett. For several weeks, we have been looking, w ith much anxiety for the confirmation of either the story of his death, or that he is till living. Rut we a-re constrained to believe thatthe brave and honest Colonel is really dead. There is not the least doubt but that he sustained hi reputation as a brave hero to the last. It will berecjllected that the servant of Col. Travis and Mrs. Dickerson were the only individuals who escaped the slaughter of the Alamo. Truvis" servvint being asked who killed the greatest number of Mexicans, replied. ' tuppose Col. Crockett did, Jor he had the greatest pile of dead around Aim." The following extract of a letter from a gentlemin in Louisiana, to a member of Congress describes the appearance presented when the Colonel was found among the slainCrockett was found (within the Alamo) in an angle made by two houses, lying on his back, a frown on his brow, a saiile of scorn on his lips iiis knife in his hand, a dead Mexican lying across his body, and twenty-two more 'ying pell-mell hefore him in the anjrle." The Anti-Masonic Whig Convention which recently convened in Philadelphia adjourned without nuking any nomination for President or Vice President.

The individual who is advertiaed in another column, is supposed to be the same who was robbed near this place about a year since, by Lyont 4- Griner. After he was robbed he worked in this place about 6 months, during w hich time he gained the confidence and respect of his employers, and was esteemed by the citizens generally as a man of honor and probity. At the end of about 6 months, he entered into partnership in the Tanning business with Mr. Upjohn, in the neighborhood of this place, upon very advantageoua terms. About this time he began to show the baser passions of his nature, and about the middle of February last, fter having got in debt considerably, he started to Cincinnati to purchase hides for the Tannery, taking with him some money belonging to the partnership. Since which time he has not been heard from, until the advertisement in another column was seen. The public should be on their guard for such scoundrels. Mexico The Philadelphia Reporter of May 10th, says: We yesterday saw a gentleman directly from Mexico. He states that Santa Anna found great difficulty in collecting five thousand men to march against Texas, and that if by any success on the part of the Texians, that army should be cut offer crippled to any considerable ex. tent, the Despot would find it impossible to replace it. Spirit ov the times. We have always understood that the value of an artice depended considerably upon the demand, and the quantity in market. The notice of the trial of Mr. John Tracer, at Roston, for the murder of his wife, on Hie 2Tth, day of Februaiy last, has more firmly convinced us of this position. Now, it is generlly known that in the State of Massachusetts they have from twelve to fifteen thousand of the softer ex, of a surplus, consequently they think no more "f murdering their wives there than they would pi" s'.ealinga ham of bacon in this country. Albeit, the sentence, of the court in the above case, for his committing a cold blooded murder, was 3 days to'itary confinement!.'!

San Augustine, April 2G. The following is the information which came to hand early yesterday morning: A eentleman of this city who arrived this morning from Attakapas in the S. 13. Velocipede states, that on the evening previous to his departure, two persons arrived at St.Martinsville, direct from Texas. That these persons who appeared to be men of respectability, related as a positive fact, that an engagement had taken place between the Texian forces under Gen. Houston, and the Mexican army, in which the latter was totally routed. having lost 700 men in killed and wounded.

The circumstances as related by these gentlemen, were that the Mexican army had from some cause or other been separated in to two bodies divided by the river Brazis,lhat ! the sudden rise of that river prevented the two bodies from effecting a junction that Houston marched against the larrer bod v a-1

mounting to 1300 or 1 100 men, that the latter-the hospitable roof of the citizens of Evansretreated, and in their retreat set fire to the ville. I f the most delicious viands, sparkling

town of Harrisburgh. Houston succeeded in overtaking them about seven miles from that town, and a sudden and vigorous attack on them, and after some severe fightir.g, the Mexicans were totally defeated, with the loss above mentioned. The gentlemen staled that they were a short distance from Harrisburg and could distinctly hear the firing and that the result was well known before their departure that Houston had marched in pursuit of the other body, which it was supposed could no possibly escape him. From the JVrto Orleans Bee of .May 3. GLORIOUS N..WS. Important from Texas. Fortune has revolved the spokes in her wheels, and now sides with Texas. Yesterday a gentleman arrived from Attakapas in this state, and he asserts that two persons had been at St. Martinsville immediately before his departure, who stated as a positive fact, within their own cognizance that an engagmcnt had taken place between part of the Texian and Mexican army. The latter had been separated in two bodies, divided by the Brassos, whose sudden rise prevented the ir junction. The larger body consisting of about 1400 men. who being attacked by general Houston, set fire to the" town of Harrisburgh and retreated; but Houston succeeded in overtaking them about T miles from the place, compelled them to a pitched battle, in which 700 of the Mexicans were killed, and 500 taken prisonersamong whom was Cos, whose parole fhonneur v ill serve him on this occasion!! The enemy was completely routed, and the loss of the Texians was very inconsiderable. Gen. Houston immediately marched in pursuit of the other body, and may have equally captured them; but this is not yet ascertained. Since writing the above, we heard it staied asifonirooj authority that General I Houston held aVouncil of war on the fate of tjic prisoners: and Santa Anna and all the officers had been shot; the privates were sent Matamoras.

Urn. had oc casioned great contusion at the Capitol. All was anarchy and uproar. Riots and murders were common in the streets. The Swe dish consul s house was robbed and himself murdered; a priest headed the mob who perpetrated the deed. Santa Anna had not yet left the Army on the 15th of April, but it is thought he would hasten to the capital on hearing of the state of a flairs there.

Gen. (i. you will perceive, lias called upon Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee for 10,000 men, and he w ill have the whole of them by the 1st of June; though the Governor says he he has no funds at his command for that purpose, that will not prevent, as both men and money will be forthcoming. And if the American Army once crosses the Sabine, into Texas, you will see a furious campaign, which will end by the capture of the City of Mexico. Santa Anna is very insolent in his letters and threatens that he will not only overrun Texas, but cross into Louisiana and raise the Negroes. I wish he would attempt it. He makes no hesitation in saying he intends to exterminate the Texian population, men, women, and children. JIore Mexican Buchcries. The N.

On Wednesday of last week (being the 4th of Mayjthe citizens of L'ansville celebrated the passage of the Internal Improvement Bill with great liberality. About 300 individuals cheers heard during the day. About twenty members of the last Legislature were present (as invited guests) together with the Lieutenant Governor, some of the Board of Internal Improvement, and an Editor wbsoe name we don t like to mention. 1 liougn the day was somewhat disagreablc out of dooi s. it was very far from being sounder champaignc, and ?pnrkiing spcecnes, coui.i add to the joy of the friends of the "great bill," then all must have been happy. Lieutenant Governor Wallace on being toasted, addressed the assembly in a powerful and eloquent speech, during the delivery of which he was often interrupted by "loud and long'' rounds of approbation. Mil ton Staff, of Madison, followed, in reply to a compliment from the company, and was, as usual, both eloquent, pungent, and witty during his speeh. Col. T. J. Evans (the chairman of the committee of Internal Improvement,) also rose to respond to a similar toast in reference to himself, w hich he did in a very neat, feeling, and appropriate manner. The late Representative of Vigo, Col. E. M. Huntington, was next called up by a sentiment complimentary both to himself and our own county, and he also addressed the company in a speech of great length and power, duriug the delivery of which he spoke in the midst of deafening applause. Wabash Coxir. Dr. Niles's election to the U. S. Senate has been confirmed by the Legislature of Connecticut Washington, May 9, ISI'0. The United States and Mexico. A debate of great interest sprung up in the House of Representatives on Saturday last; of w hich a brief outline will be found in our report of that day's proceedings. Brief as it is, however, it w ill serve to give our readers some idea of the topics and course of the debate. We entreat the attention of all our readers to it. If we mistake not, they will rind in it much matter for very serious thoughts. They w ill be pretty generally surprised at some of the disclosures mace; and not least, that, when the most suspicious amongst us never dreamt of it, we should have been deliberately taking steps w hich, as is proved by the very military appropriations now required from Congress bv the Executive, it has been anticipated might lead to difficulties, if not hostilities, between the United States and Mexico. It is satisfactory, however, meanwhile, to learn that the arguments in favor of assembling troopson the Sabine, drawn from the employment of Indians bv the Mexicans against the Texians, and from the near approacn oi me nois io hnr.lpr. are deprived of all the lorce to wnicii they were entitled by the positive contradiction of

We are happy to inter, almost cei lamb , ironi the Mexican official papers published to-day, that the whole story of the massacre of Colonel Fannin's command is, from beginning to end, a fabrication, and that Col. Fannin and his men are now prisoners of war in the Mexican territory. Int. We ask the serious and candid considera tion of the citizens of Indiana to the following article, whic h we copy from (he Harrisburgh (Pa.) Telegraph, it cannot now be denied that the Catholics, almost to a man, are supporting Van Uuren. and usinr even effort to elevate him to the Presidential chair. His election they consider o ic of the means by which liiey hope eventually tochangethis free and happy land into "a Catholic country." lad. Jour. VAN RURLW AND Till', POPC. "We have before given our readers the letter of Mr. Van Uuren to "His 11,,inei-s"' the Pope, in which he highly compliments him upon hi? succession to the 'tira' or crown with regal or despotic clerical power. It contains the ttrongest evidence of the anti-republican principles of Mr. Van Ruren, and his longing and hankering after the ho.iorsand powers of royalty. As further ev idence of the malign influence that he is exerting against the liberties of our country, we give the following hand bill that we posted up in the city of New York at ihe late charter election, to stimulate his fellows. "QSrlrishmen to your post, or you will loose .lmerica. Ry perseverance you may become its kvi.eks, hy neglect you will become its slaves. Your own country was lost by submitting to amoitious men.

Lot native born citizens nnd protestants read the above, and ask themselves whether thev can sup port a man and a party that aim to unite religion and politics, and effect a religious ascendancy to one sect through the exercise of party discipline, and political privileges."

This is pretty broad assertion to be 6iire, but we feel no disposition to controvert its correctness. Wo recollect hearing of a great deal of fun that wns once poked at Mr. Jefferson, (we deny being old enough to acknowledge it as cotemporaneous history ,) for his description of a salt mountain but there is no mistake about the iron mountain. It is bonafied, and will be the making of Missouri: a state which by the way, is already rich in resources of all sorts especially in a whole mountain of brass in the person of her senior member of the United States Senate. V. 1". Coitr. i$- Enq. Anecdote. People have various opinions as to the expediency of employing a physician in case of sickness. Among those who think it uest generally to employ one, not a few think in best to mix his own judgment with his prescriptions, instead of following the latter explicity a course in most cases extremely dangerous, and we suspect more frequently fatal than most people imagine. The following case just related to us hy a friend acquainted with the fact, is in point. Some years since, a physician was called to a young woman, very sick. After a careful examination, he left two kinds of powders to be given her alternately. O ie of the powders contained opium, and when administered, produced quiet to the patient. The next powder was somewhat nauseating, and the patient was less quiet under its operation. A convention of the women in the neighborhood was held, and addressed by one of their number in this wise: You see iust how it is the doctor must have a living, and must get it by 1ns trade one kind of r...-rl.-r in rs lipr better and the other worse. If he gave her only the bad kind, he would soon kill i.pr and the food would soon cure her so that in either case, he would have but a small bill that is why he gives two kinds. ISow let us act according to common sense, in disregard of the doctor's orders, whose inteiest it is to keep her along, let us five her only the good powders. This proposition was well received, and after an amendment at the suggestion of ano'her. who proposed giving two of lhe"good powders at a time, was adopted. The patient was easy and slept quietly under the operation, but she never awoke. Bangor .Idverliser. Death of Governor Bennett. The Hon Caleb P.
