''Sometime in 5rme last, a trading expedition ,
FUirt'.oc from Anstm for Santa Fc The object
of the expedition, so fur as it was understood
our citizens, was purely commercial. The
tJovcrnmcnt of Texas, desirous .or.opomng
communication wifh Simla Fe, and establish-'Migii-eoHnnercial
intercourse with the citizens
f that country, furnished the expedition 11
military escort ofscvejal hundred men to pro
tect the truders from the Comanche and other
Indian tribes, who iufcat the territory through 1
whioh it had to pass. A number ofthe citiretis
.of the ITnrted States embraced an afpmrtuir.ity,
apparently to secure, to visit Simla Fc some
hs traders and others as gest of tin; escort
hut having uo official or responsible connection
whatever with tho military CNtublishmeiit.
Vho expedition a!ter enduring great privations, 1
and encountering diflieullics tkatdeciniated its
Milks, was captured without making U13 least
losiatiiiicr, at Igon del Colorado, ami together
with the American citizens accompanying it,

meet a cruel fleam or condemn! to a yet more
cruel existcucc ki imjihc of ibi! mines of Uic re
public' The Bee contends that the capture of these
American citizens is otto which calls for the
interposition of tho United States, and adduces
the two following examples :
Mr. Ki:NDAM,of tho New f Means Ficayuue,
joined the expedition as n guest of the officer
in command. He went as a citir.en oftlic F
nited Slates to visit a people interesting to his
fellow-countrymen on many accounts, lie
thought he had a right to go, without forfeiting
the protection of his government. Should lie
be siifl'cred to perish without any cflurt to save
him ! A son of Gen. Caiman, of Kentucky, a
youth of l!) years of age, was also a guest ot
the e.a:dition. His father being a creditor of
the Texan government, sent him there upon
business. Jlo was invited to goto Santa Fe,
ami did so as well from a laudable desire to sec
tiiat country as to iinpreve his health by exer
cise and the excitement of travel. Neither of
these gentlemen had any connection with the
expedition except as guests and citizens of the
United Slates travelling under thecscortofa
friendly power. They have doue iiothing to
u ithdraw themselves from the mantle ol nation
al protection. If Mexico should subject them
to the death of robbers or rebels, she does not
deserve the consideration due to an indepen
dent civilized people, and ought to be treated as
a combination of outlaws and barbarians. Wc
can scarcely doubt that the citizens of the U
nited States taken captives would be set at
large at once upon the request of this govern
ment, and we hope that an agent will lie sent
to Mexico to request their liLeration,ordemaiid
it authoritatively if tho government make any
objection to giving them up. It were a wise
course as a means of preventing future ditur
liauces, fur neither the blood of Kendall nor
that W young Com its will sink in the ground
without calling for suniina-y aud ample ven
geance.' It appears by a letter received from Chihua
hua, that when the expedition approached with
in n few hours march of Santa Fe, fiv e persons,
of whom Mr. Kendall was one, were sent in ad
vance to the town to inform the authorities of
its approach, and assure them of its peaceable

' The T-nnilon Medical Joupunl mentions iodine
as a very valuable anil efficacious ircmotly in
ca"-' of incipient -consumption ; and a writer in
the Public ledger, lio, we presume is a phy-
sician, cites the following instnucc as evidence
of the beneficial effect of this medicine m oV
senses of the lungs.
The first case iethat ofu 3noV, who "had been
afflicted four or five ycti'W with n very serious'
cough Tho paroxysms (if eonghing wmild
often continue for the space of ten or fifteen
minutes, and were so violent as o!cn to cull
forth the fears lioth !' herself and lainily, in re
lation lolier btirtti:iga blood vessel. &he in
itialed a tpjantity if the vapor f iodine, (this
wiw about ayewr since) mid from tlmt time to
the present, she bus not coughed as much alto
gether, as she had freipiently done at one time,
before hIic used the iislinc.
Tlie next case is of a still more striking
character. In conversing with nn eminent
'doiftist, ol Ibis-city, about the medicinal proper-
ties of iodine in the disease of the Jungs, he
cxlaiuie.l, 'l'nts is what -has been tiring me !'
This led to tui imfurry -of tire naltrre Vhis com
plaint, his words were as billows : '1 have
been o.lllicted with consumption liir live years :
about -eigLVjcn .umuLks inoo,lr. Coatee mea-
wired nry side, arid (bund that it was contracted
about an inch and a half; about half of my lungs
is entirely gone, and owing to this, my loll side
is considerably depressed; for the last five
months I have been prosecuting aixilher busi-
ness, in which iodine is used, awl during that
tinte (without kioving the cause,) my health
has hecii constantly iiuroveingand now I have
no doubt but tbat the iuiialattort of the iodine
has produced the happy result ;' in slrort, sa'ul
he, 'I considered myself perfectly cured, and
this is the only remedy I have used.'
The last ease I shall mention, is that ofa
tailor, residing in ."ith street. When I first
recommended this gentleman 1o use roditio, he
appeared to be in the la.-t stage uf amsiunptinn,
his face had a Vivid appearance, and the color
had left, his finger nails, and his t-trcngth had
so tar failed him that he was unable to walk
across the rootr, excepting with great difficulty;
he used the iodine according to the directions
in two weeks from the time he began to use
the iodine, I met him near the Kxchange.on
his road to the upper part of Kensington. He
appeared to walk as well as any around him,
his cough hud neatly leil him, his face had as
sumed a natural appearance, and he expressed
himself as being perfectly relieved; from that
time to this, he has been gradually improving,
and he now appears to bo in a fair way to have
his health restored.
These arc but a few ninoug the many in
stances, in which I have recommended the suc
cessful use of iodine, to persons predisposed to
disease of the lungs. 1 have not the least
doubt, but that the remedy will prove a most
valuable one ihalat ion appears to be the most
natural method by which the lung may be
reached, and if iodine possesses the property of
absorbing tho luliercles of the lungs, you have
a remedy which at once touches the henrtof
the disorder, and, as a consequence, ia most
likely to effect a cure.
The simplicity of its application is a great
advantage ; it is this empty an ounce of iodine
into an earthen or glass vessel with a wide
aperture at the top, say a tumbler or flat dish
place it in a room in which you may be
near the stove, and during the day place your
head over the dish and take three or four in
halations of the vuKr of iodine, which rises
readily From it at common tcnicraturc ; do
this as otlcn as may be convenient, and tlie
good result must follow.
There is but little doubt that this discovery
will prove of immense advantage to the alllic
ted it certainly will appear to every reflect
ing mind, to be superior in its application and
principles, to the remedies generally used ;
which must expend the grcatei-t proportion of
their good qualities on tho stomach and body,
