' Col, Doniphan's Expedition.' ' The arrival of Colonel Doniphan and his regiment in this city has created an unusual degree of interest, although it has for the last fifteen months been wrought lip to the highest pitch of. excitement by military novelties. A full and carefully writtrn' history of Col. Doniphan's expe dition would be a volume of rare interest, and develope not only - strange military id venture, but call the attention of anti quarians and others, to nations living on our continent, of whose existence wc have been heretofore ignorant, and whose manners and customs fill the mind with astonishment. ' While listening to the de tails of these stem Missouri warriors, we have felt for months as if some ancient Spanish grave had yielded up a follower Df Cortez, to recount his adventures and personal experience as he progressed to wards the capital of the Montezumas. It presents a wonderful picture, this mar ching of a few hundred men through po pulous states, conquering their inhabitants in pitched battles, and occupying their cities arid towns as garrisons. Men, who, up to the time they enlisted under the banner of their county, were employ ed exclusively in the arts of peace, using the rifle only as a source of amusement, and looking to the annual return of the militia muster as a subject of ridicule, Vet when a demand is made upon them, they seem easily to put on the panoply of the ancient crusader, and to go forth conquering as if they had been schooled in the camp, and been disciplined from youth amidst the clamor of war. .Of such materials is composed this mighty race of North Americans, who seem des tined to overshadow the greatness of all nations of times past; and who are called upon to enact a part in the present and fu ture more sublimely great than has ever yet been accorded by Providence to any people. . . Col, Doniphan is a man of giant frame, of that loose carriage peculiar to the west, that deceives the eye as to proportion and strength. 'We can imagine that his gi gantic arm must have wielded his huge sabre in the heat of battle with a force that not only struck down the foe, but lit eral! annihilated him; that each succes sive swoop, opened wide avenues for his advance, as did Cortez among the crow ded ranks of the" warlike Tlascalans. His officers and men have a strange un couth appearance; piece meal, the ill-made clothing of the volunteers have fallen from them, and they have supplied its place with what chance and the wild beasts of New Mexico have thrown in their way. Their sun-burnt faces, grizzly beards, and withal, their devil-may-care air, is perfect ly irresistible. Yet beneath those rough exteriors, are concealed minds of educa ted and high-toned sentiments, full of I of. ty thoughts and love of liberty; minds lhat arc destined to be felt in the councils of the nation, and play a prominent part in the stirring events of the limes. Col. Doniphan's command was mus tered into service on the 1 5th of June, !817fat Fort Leavenworth. On the 22d f June a portion of the command started for Bent's Fort, on the Arkansas, and on ihe28ihCol. Doniphan left with the re mainder of the icgiment for the same des tination, ; Prom Dent's Fort the com m:md proceeded together to Santa Fe, v. hich is eight' hundred and seventy-five i.iles from Fort Leavenworth, and two 1 !rvl miles from Bent's ForL On the lc h d y'dt August, Col,. Don iphun!; ar rived at Santa Fe. At Los Vegos, the first settlement in New Mexico, informa- tion uW received that the enemv had col- i lected"about two or three thousand at a ! pass ten miles in advance. The order of battle was formed, the infantry passed o- ' ver the mountains, onomr in . Iria rmi so as to ; attacii the; the ..Mexicans fell viiui y &ic wit ivoi f back without giving battle until they ar-' rived within fifteen . miles of Santa Fc, at one of the strongest passes in , Mexico,; where they cut -down timber and raised j fortifications. To this strong-pass the; Governor came from Santa Fe, bringing with him seven pieces of artillery, one of which was a six pouiider that had been taken from the Texan Rangers in the cel ebrated Santa Fe expedition,; and an ad ditional force, augmenting the one al-. ready at the pass to the number of about ' four thousand. ; - " j Col. Doniphan' encamped within three miles of the enemy, and the next morning resumed . the order of march, and found they had deserted their works and fled. On the same day the Americans took for- . inal possession of Santa Fe. In a few days thev were enabled to capture the Uiiio nicy tie cujuicu iu voijhuu artillery, which the Mexicans were at- tempting to smuggle off, and the whole of New Mexico fell into our possession without a gun being fired. Gen. Kearney's proceedings at Santa Fe are familiar with the public. As ri diculous as they appear, there is good reason to suppose that the General has his orders for his justification, hich will appear in due time. Shortly after the conquest of New Mexico, Gen. Kearney started with an es cort of one hundred men for California. Before his departure, he gave orders to Col. Doniphan to make a campaign a gainst the Navajo Indians, living in the Rocky Mountains, between the Del Norte and Pacific Ocean, and then to report to Gen. Wool, at Chihuahua, where it was understood General . Wool would be be fore Col. Doniphan could reach there. The second regiment of Missouri volun teers having arrived in : New Mexico on the 26th of October, Col. Doniphan com menced his campaign against the Nava- JOS. . , ' The Navajos were a large tribe of In dians who had been at war with the Mexi cans for two hundred and fifty years, and lived entirely iiton plunder taken from lhat people. At the earnest solicitation of the Mexicans, Gen. Kearney ordered the expedition of our troops against them. Col. Doniphan divided his command into three columns, one of which entered the Navajo country about two hundred miles north of Santa Fe, under the command of Mijor Gilpin, the other wo columns en tering it in the west and south west, un der the commands of Col. Doniphan and Lieut. Col. Jackson. The column under Maj. Gilpin marched to" the source ofthe Chanas, and crossing the Sierra Madre, descended to the waters of the San Juan, one of the branches of the Colorado of the west, marched down the river in the direction of the Pacific, and crossing the mountains again, formed a junction with Col. Doniphan's com mand at the Ojoso'; having performed a march of over six hundred miles, over mountains covered with .snow, Miij. GiN pin brought with him a great number of chiefs, all of whom professed great friend ship for the American nation. At the 0 joso, , Col. Doniphan met the ' principal chiefs of the tribe and great warriors, probably five hundred in number, and there made - a treaty stipulating, entire firendship between the . Navajos and A mericans and Mexicans.' 1 ' , . , The march performed hy.Mnjor Gilpin was one of the most arduous in the cam paign. The country through which he travelled did not permit the way for a baggage train, and his stores had to be carried upon the backs of a few mules. He was continually surrounded by snow and storms, and among mountain passes never before threaded by the foot of man. There will be a thrilling interest in a nar rative of lhat journey not to be met with in the most highly wrought fiction. The Navajo Indians are a warlike peo ple, have no towns or houses, or lodges ; they live in the opcnair'or on horseback, and are remarkably wealthy, having im mense herds of horses, cattle, and, sheep. They treat their women with great atten tion, consider them" equals, ' and relieve them from the drudgery of menial worii.. They are , handsome, "well made ami in everv respect a higner. orcier oi oemy thran the mass of their neighbours, the Mexicans. About -the time Col. Doni phan made his treaty, a division of his command was entirely out of provisions : the Navajos supplied its want9 with liber nlity. A portion of the command returned to Cuvano ; Maj. Gupm s command, to gether with Col. Doniphan - went to the city of the Sumai Indians, on the Ro Pis cow, which is supposed to be a branch of the Geyle, made a treaty of peace be tween the Sumai and Navajos, and then returned to the Rio del Norte. : r These Sumai, unlike ihe Navajos, live in a city eontaing probably GOOO inhabi- lants, who support themselves entirely bv . 7 Thejcity is bneof the' most extraordi - nary in the world.

All the j buildings are two stories high, composed. of sunburnt, brick. . 1 he, nrst story , presents a solid wall to the street, and is so constructed that eacti nouse joins, until one-fonruYof ihe city may be said to be onebuildm?. . The second stones rise from this" vast 'solid structure, so as to designate each house, - leaving room to walk upon the roof -of the first story be tween each building. . The inhabitants of Sumai enter the second story of their buildings . by ladders, ' which.they draw, up at night, as a defence rgainst any ene my that mightbe prowling about. In this city was seen some thirty Albino Indians who have, no donbt, given rise to the sto ry that there is living in the' Rocky Moun tains a tribe of white aborigines. '.The discovery of this city of the Sumai will afford the most curious speculations a mong those who have so long .searched in vain for a city of Indians, who pos sessed the manners and habits of the A t zees. No doubt we have here, a race liv ing as did the people when Cortez en tered Mexico. - It is a .remarkable fact, that the Sumaians have, since the Span l...... i t ds left the country, refused to have any intercourse with the modern ;iU ex icans, looking upon them .as an inferior people. They have driven from among them the priests and other dignitaries, who formerly had power over them, and resumed habits and manners of their, own -their Great Chief or Governor, being the civil and religious head. The country round the city of Sumai is cultivated with great deal of "care, and affords food hot only for the inhabitants, but for large flocks of cattle and sheep. ' ' . . Col. Doniphan arrived aUhe Del Norte on the 12th of December. On the 14th he started Maj. Gilpin in the direction of El Passo, with two hundred ' and fifty men ; on the 16th, Lieut. CoU Jackson, with two hundred men ; on the 10th, he started in person with the remainder of his" regiment. . The division was made for the purpose of passing the Jornado del.' Muerto, which . is a desert ninety miles : wide without wood or water. On the 22d Col. Doniphan overtook Maj. Gilpin, at the little Mexican town of Dona Anna. On the morning of the 23d the whole regiment commenced its march for El Passo, - .:-...... On the 25th the- regiment was divided. having a very strong rear guard behind the lrro-are train. .1 lie advance ot the 'irsrage column, numbering about five hundred, halted to camp about three o'clock in the afternoon,' on the bank, of the Rio del Norte, at a point called Brazito, or the Little Arm. . Just as the horses had been turned loose, and the men - were waiting for the wagons to come up with their cooking utensils, two ofthe advance guard came in and -reported that there was a cloud of dust in the road in front.- Au observation was made as soon as practi cable, and a large body of Mexicans was seen approaching. Our troops were then drawn out and formed as skirmishers. The enemy approached within less than half a mile bclore our men were formed. A. Lieutenant from the enemy's rjnks then approached our line, demanding that the. American commander should go to their camp, and lhat unless he did so, they would charge- his-IinCr-iiid that they would neither give nor ask quarters. Our interpretor, in reply, ordered the Mexican to. charge and be -. . The Mexican then waved a black flag he held in his hand, and retired to his own column, now formed in battle array. ' - 1 UC .Uciliaiis, i.itvi;u,iiuiiun.u cuui, then charged with 'heir cavalry supported by their infantry, and one piece of ordi nance -a bmss howitzer." , Col. Doni phan ordered lhat no one should tire until the enemy was within one hundred yards. The Mexicans 'commenced firing at the distance of three hundred yards ; their firing was not returned until they had given three' rounds, while ' constantly ad vancing. When within less than one hundred yards', Col. : Doniphan ordered his -troops to fire, which was simulta neously done from right to left. At the fire of the "odd numbers." ihe Mexican line halted, and at the fire of the "even numbers" they began to fall back, except the Vera Cruz dragoons an old and well known Mexican corps. It attempted to pass our line on the left, when Capt. Reed having succeeded in mounting about twen ty meni charged the dragoons, sixty strong and aided by the firing from our lines, forced it to retreat in a few moments, which it did slowly, continuing to fight for more than a mile. The battle of Brazito then terminated, having been fought in twenty seven minutes ! The los.of the enemy was sixty" three killed and a hundred wounded ; iof this loss the heaviest was with the Vera Cruz dragoons' this brave company only being able to muster twenty-one at the subsequent de fence of Chihuahua : injury to the Amen cans seven wounded. ! : - " ' On the 27th Col. Doniphan look for mal possession of the town of El Passo ; where : he learned that General Wool would not - be at Chihuahua, to form a f junction with him ; he had'eonsequenUy, ! back" to Santa Fe 1 for artillery, having none withhim, except the piece captured tire battle of -Ur.siw; --. : - ; On the 5th of February, Maj.' Clark, ofthe Missouri light artillery, arrived at EI Passo, bringingvith him one hundred "men, commanded by Captain Weightman with fire 0-pounders"and two 12-pounder howitzers, and On the 8th took up his line of march for the city of Chihuahua. ' , : The events that followed- arct familiar through the official reports of the battle of Sacramento." 5 ' . " Chihuahua, the capital of the State of Chihuahua, is a city of about: fourteen thousand inhabitants, and of remarkable beauty. It is situated on a plain, between two high mountains that rise in the. east and west. - At the north and 'south, the country, as far as the eye can reach, is open, and interspersed with farms". The buildings, many of which are very hand some, are composed of white porphyry, that is easily wrought when first taken from the quarry," but by exposure to the air becomes very. hard. : The old Span iards who originally built it, conveyed from a mountain four miles distant, through a stone canal, the waters of a spring. . ? This abundant fountain rises in the centre of the grand plaza, overflows an octagonal basin, and. then pursues its way over the whole city. The plaza is surrounded by seats, with backs, carved put of the solid stone. At this place could nightly be seen the entire popula tion of Chihuahua, indulging themselves in gossip and idleness. .. - As an evidence of the riches of the mines of Chihuahua, under the Spaniards it is stated that the magnificent church of that city, which is of immense; propor tions, and ornamented by three towers of solid stone, was built. at a cost of six hun dred thousand dollars, and that this im mense sum was raised by a tax of one bit on every eight dollars coined in the mines. These silver mines are as rich as they ever were, and inexhaustable; but the Indians have driven the Mexicans from the richest of them, and the people are too lazy to work those in their pos session. - , . ... When our army left Chihuahua, there was no organized government, the Mexi can Governor, Trias, fled on Col. Doni phan's approach, and left him sole arbiter of the country. Col. Doniphan departed leaving the city and the state to take care of themselves a prey to the first aspirant that wished for temporary power. , ; The country of New Mexico, and the two Californias, are represented by our troops to be perfectly worthless,, ercept for the harbors on the Pacific coast. No American will ever make a home in either ofthe States, and its possession will be a curse to the country. The whole of it is in arid plain, almost destitute of water, "with but here and there a green spotand never would have been occupied by any civilized people, but for the rage for gold that inspired the early and adventurous Spauiards. .

Why do we not hear that the keepers of the splendid "hells" in Chesnut "street, al most under the very windows of the Courts, and to which the great folks re sort, were arrested and committed for tn. al, as well as this poor colored man, who doubtless has not one-twentieth part their guilt to answer.

Now he crushes us un der the aggravated shower-bath enormity of ihe uoucte. t Hydropathic IIovsk, Brattledorough, June 28, 1817. It would be an injurious error to sup pose 'that any ofthe more powerful modes of treatment, as the plunge, douche, and running sitz, are ever applied in the first instance or abruptly. On the. contrary, every one of these is preluded by a care- ful preparation, consisting of a graduated system of baths, beginning at seventy-five or eighty degrees, descending by one de degrce, every one, two, or three days, to the natural temperature, most unnaturally cold ; just as an apothecary would slowly increase doses of laudanum, drop by drop; and even whon for any reason the treat ment is for a while suspended, it is often recommended in the same manner as at first, and finally is as gradually termina ted. There is no haste in letting us down into the pool of health, for here the waters are always angel-stirred. Accordingly it must not be thought that the douche about to bo described is suddenly applied to a weak invalid, just out of this flannel, bed-gown, and slip pers. -Yet though never administered so roughly as to endanger the health, it may in analogy to cup3 and calomel, often hutt the feelings. After from two weeks to two months of preparation, the patient whose case needs it is promoted to the douche, and is seen stepping off, with a proud look on hid face and a sheet on his arm, bound for the douche houses, halfa mile distant, on the other side of the ravine. He here begins with the very mild river douche ; but without following him through the transitions to the hose douche, to the mid dle douche, and from that to the grand, extra potent, heavy we!, scocdolager douche, we will sketch his first interview with the latter. On his way there be meets a fellow sufferer, who asks, "Where away so fast, iiiv friend ?" "Congratulate me, my good fellow, I am going to the big one, to take it five minutes at the first start. Is it really very hard to take V "O, no, I have just come from it a mere bagatelle but here, as you are going in for the first time, I may as well bid you good bye for if any thing shuuiJ happen it is a satisfaction, you know." "Goad bye." He goes to a dill-? rent house from any he has yet entercvl, and, opening a door, perceives he has made a mistake, and closes it quickly, but not before having a full view of truly a strange spectacle. A genth:inan, who.-eonly cloihiug in actual wear is a pair of pantaloons, down at the calves, dusty boots, and a nicely brushed hat, is seated navel dep in . a small square tub, full of water, and with folded arms looks pens-ivcly at his watch. He is en during the running sitz so called because the water is kept at the lowest tempera ture, by means of a constant stream from a spring near bv, conducted in at the hot- i i- in 1 1 1 1 Kit MTift irn c ! rri'i t earned off from near the toP ofthe tub. It is usual- 1 . . ly taken lrom ten to twentv minutes, and is esteemed bv mauv the most comforting of all thr? baths. The water never being warmed by the body, it isnhe same thing as miking your sest in a spring, and ful ly comes up to the idea of 4cold comfort.' V enlythis same running sitz is some- ihirw worth mprit'iiMin r in .Tulv- Thrums CarFvle would like it: no doubt he would, for he -loves every thing sham, and this is no sham, that is not a bv no means, but a stern realitv. Our "live subject enters the? right door and commences to prepare his body and compose his mind for the operation. As he undresses he screws up his resolu tions by calling to mind the bold deeds of ancient heroes, t and particularly those of our Revolutionary ancestors how Stony Point was stormed, how old Put entered the wolfs den, and how Samuel Patch jumped off the falls ; but his mind continually reverts to a calculation in hy drostatics, to wit, if a column of water so big" and fifteen feet high comes down with such force, what must be-the power of one. twice as. larga and twenty feet high?- " ' ' ' Meviule 3f:?.-Bemi:-, a daise of for- ty-fivcr who docs up the part of nymph of the foundations, has left on the water, and it roars and splashes in the inner dungeon like a demon roaring for hi victim. ' Our subject, thinking his time has come, takes his bandages in hand, casts a gkiRce at ihe watch to time him self, presses his wife daguerreotype to his lips, and opens the door, but it is not yet his turn another man U "taking it," and our live subject is aghast at the sight of a bony Apollo sprawling on his hands and knees on the floor, who, with teeth firm ly set, is receiving the spout on the small of the back. The effect of ihe stream pouring into the room is to make the air as cold as winter ; and though it was July outside, by the time you are undressed and stand in expectant dread on the threshold it has become January. The roorti is high and dark; the steps by which you descend in to are lucked with the axe, telling of ico chopped away in mid-winter. Tha Stream has come fresh from the cold bow els of mother earth and sees no daylight tilt it-lights on the subject's shoulders. The sight before him takes away all our friend's resolutions, and nothing bul tho thoughtthathe has come a thousand miles expressly to be subjected to the mercies of ibis water. Moloch, and he thought that if any thing short of ihe ultimate trumpet can arouse his torpid liver to healthy actiou this thing must do it, tha fear of ridicule and the hope of a cris's keeps up his nerves. Now the bony Apollo dashes out and our friend is left alone iii that dismal den, alone with that douche and his own conscience. Ho flings ulowu his bandages, clasps his hands, and raising them, as in supplica tion, 'ovtr his head, steps beneath tho spout, which -, he receives first on his hand;? thus clasped ; this is to break tha stream into a-kind of a shower bath, which wets him all over at the outset. He then .receives, it successively on all parts of the body, but the head, chest. stomach, abdomen, and calves of the legs; all other parts now feel the full force of this "heavy wet" in a way that calls for some little effort to keep the breath of life in the lungs. .. : Whatever calculations in hydrostatics he may have made, he now realizes for the first time the Mi force of ihe theory. Talk of a thousand of brick I It is no sort of a simile for the way in which this water comes down upon him. Most re lentless douche ! Persevering torrent ! Magnificient waterpower to set the wheels of life in motion ! Who can feel it and doubt the potency of water to cure or kill, and not look with contempt on tho impotence of phials and pill-boxes? Down, right down it comes, bearing its victim to the floor, cudgelling the shoulders, thun dering down the back, knocking down against the short ribs, grinding along the spine as if a big rasp was filiag away the points of the back boue, bastinadoing the feet, feruling the hands, and making all parts tingle as if a pudding-stick of extra power were renewing the coporai punish ment of his schoolboy days. The whole surface is soon excited to vigorous action, every organis aroused, and all the fluids of the system are set coursing like mad through the capillaries into even the ut termost corner of the little toe. The morbid humors, beaten up in air their lurking places, rush hither and yon to escapethrough the pores, or burst forth like lava in volcanic boiis. After dressing, there is a walk to ba taken, usually ihe longest of the day, to expend the surplus strength derived from this tonic of all tonics. In cold weather you are impelled to pet your legs to the very best speed. In summer, 'and espe cially in such weather as we have now, the sensation as you go out into the oven like atmosphere is really droll. The sun basks down upon you a3 if it mistook you for a loaf of dough, and the hot steam from the earth rises up on every side.
