After a succesful campaign, they turned their steps lioniewards, loadekwith scalps and Other spoils.; and on reaching the of the ridge that overlooked their camp, they gaVanote of their approach by the usual shouts. of vichattz, But no shouf answered, and, on decending to their huts, they found the-whole of the inmates Slaughtered.

It is observed, that this mode of expressing r bliC grief bears a striking re. semblance to the enstorns of the Jews. The tract toward. Fort Vancouver exhibited a country which ma y yet make a great figure in the American! world immensevalleys sheltered by mountain ridges and containing beautitullakes. In one in. stan4, their tents were pitched - in a valley, of about fire limadred acres, enclosed by mountains on three sides,.'and a lake on the fourth From the-edge of the vvaters there arose a gentle descent of six or eighehundred feet, covered with vines, and compo. sed of the accumulated fragments of the heights above; and on the upper border of this slope there stood perpendicular walls of granite of three or friar thousand feet high, while among those dizzy I altitudes the goati and sheep bounded in playful i security. This defile had been the scene of an ex ploit. One of the Crees, whom they had met a few days before, had been tracked into the valley, along with his wife and family, by five warriors of ahos tile tribe. On perceiving the odds against him,the man gavehimself up fOr lost, observing to the wo man, that as they could die but once, they had bet ter die without resistance. The wife, however, said, that "as they had but one life to toss, they had the more reason to defend it," and suiting the action to the word, the heroic brought the foremast of the enemy down to the ground by a bullet, while the husband dispoped of two others by two arrows.. The fourth warrior-was rushing on the woman with uplifted tomahawk, when he stumbled and fell. She darted foward, and buried her knife in his heart. The sole surviving assail ant now turned and fled, discharging, 'however, a bullet which wounded the man in the arm. They had now reached that rocky range from which the eastern and western rivers of those mighty provinces take there common departure. Here they estimated , the height of the pass to be seven or eight thousand feet above the sea-level, while the peaks seemed to be nearly half that height above their heads. Of course, the party often felt the torture of mos quitoes, but one valley was so pre-eminently infes-: ted with those tormentors, that man and beast alike preferred being nearly choked with smoke, I in which they plunged, for the sake of escaping their stings. But we advert to this common plague of all forest travel, only for its legendary honors. "The Canadians vented their curses against the I OLD siArn, who had the credit of having brought i the scourge upon earth, by praying for something to fill up the leisure of her single blessedness." And if, as the author observes, -'the tormentors would confine themselves to nunneries and monas teries, the world might see something more of the fitness of things in the matter." At the close of August,-the party reached Fort Vancouver, having crossed the continent, by a route of five thousand miles, in twelve weeks' travelling. They now made a visit to the Rusiian-American Company's establishment of New Archangel. This exhibited considerable sight of commerce. In the harbor were five sailing vess -Is from 250 to 350 tons; besides a large bark in the offing in -tow of a steamer, which brought advices from St. Peters ; burgh down to the end of April. An officer came off conveying Governor Etholine's compliments and welcome. The party landed, and were received in the residence situated on the top of a rock. The governors dwelling consisted of asuit of apart ments communicating, acording to the Russian fashion,with each o her, all the public rooms being handsomely _decorated and richly furnished. It commanded a view of the whole establishment, which was,in fact, a little village. About half way down the rock,two batteries frowned respectively over the land and water: Behind the bay arise stupendous piles of conical mountains with sum mits of everlasting snow. To seaward, Mount Edgecombe, also in the form of a cone, rears its trunk-headed peak, still remembered as the source of smoke and flame,- lava and ashes, but now- the repository of the snows of an age. Next day, the governor, in full uniform, came in hi= gig to return te visit to Sir George on board his steamer. The party were invited on shore,where they were intro duced to Madame Etholine, a pretty and lady-like woman, a native of Finland. They then visited the schools, in which there were twenty boys and as many girls; the boys were intended chiefly for, the naval service, nor did religion seem to be ne gledted any rnore than education. The Greek church had its bishop, fifteen priests, deacons and follow ers, and the Lutherans had - their clergyman. The ecclesiastics were all maintained by the imperial greyernment. Suclf is Sifalca. the principal depot of the Russaian-American Company. It has vari ous subordinate establishments. The operations of the company are becoming more extensive; and, at this period, the returns of the trade amounted to about 25,000 skins of beavers, otters, foxes, &d. aj By a recent arrangement between the Mex ican and Spanish Government, Spaniards, by birth, who , have at different times been naturalized in Mexico, are permitted to return to thefr allegiance to their native country. The fact is significant.— A country must be-near the dissolution of its nationality, when any considerable portion of its citizens are anxious to escape from its protection, and seek that of the most anarchial of Europe.— Buffalo Jdrertiser. Frophetic Wit.— The eccentric George Munday, the hatless prophet, was once more before Judge Parsons, in Philadelphia, the other day, for vagran cy. Georges ire was up—he become wordy, aud, the Judge threatened him with commitment for contempt of court'. But George was not to be thus daunted. "God made religion, hut the devil made Parsons?" scowled forth George. The laugh which followed indicated who was the hero. oi."Ma, what is revenge?" "It is when your daddy scolds me, and I hit him with the broomstick." "Annexation and vvar, th s at's true, every' word of it," said a pert old - maid: "no soonerdo you get married than you-begin to fight."

Calhoun, (who has been: cting for a few yearit past with the Demo cratic party) duping the last Congress, took a po sition which left his future course, to many minds, rather questionable. We, however, are not among the number who have thus thought of him. We know - that there are "one !idea" men—" abstrac tionists";—political hotspurs—and fanatics, as well in one part of the country a 4, in another. We know that if there are "peculiar institutions" at the South, which are viewed as " Gorgona dire '? by a portion of the people of the eastern and middle States, there are also matters peculiar to these, unconge nial to the ideas of southern men. We know that, l in so vastly extended a country as ours, it is un reasonable to expect that matters so widely differ ent should be at once reconciled. We know that I this state of things existed at the organization of our government; that the sages of the revolution knew of their existence, foresaw to a great extent ' the tendencies of them, and concluded, for the good I of the whole, to form such an alliance, as would leave to each State the power to regulate its own !internal affairs, and to acknowledge each as soy. r eign, in all things excepting those which all had :surrendered for the common good ;—in short, to leave all things, not deemed essential for the general government, as they would have been, if the Union ' had never been formed. Under this organization, no single State, nor any number of States, has the power, nor do either possess the constitutional 'right, to interfere with, or seek to control, the affairs of other States; and the Constitution—the bond of union by which each is protected in its sovereignty, and the laws made in accordance with the Constitution,—is as much the foundation, upon which one State shall rest its defence, (though it may be isolated by its internal regulations,) as any other; ,or all the rest. The , points arising from these I propositions, might be greatly dilated upon; but it is probably unneces• sary to do so at the present time. We merely Iwish to assert a few simple truths, as the basis upon !which to view the subject culled up by this letter of Mr. Calhoun; and in referring to it, we will en deavor to be respectful to those who honestly differ from us in opinion.—premising that there are those who assert contrary opinions, to whom we would be unwilling to apply the term honest; and with whom we can hold no controversy. We are satis fied.that there are paid emissaries of other countries y in our land, who are serving their masters, by I seeking to effect our ruin ,as a people ; , and with such as these we can hive no controversy. We are only sorry that any portion of our countrynien i are deluded by them, while others seem to permit !their better judgments to be overcome, by indigna tion towards them; and 'seem to be in clanger of going as wide of the mark of propriety, as those whom they condemn. This letter was written in reply to one from a committee of Federalists in - Georgia, who forward led to him a resolution, passed at a meeting of their party in Putnam county.. It speaks plainly the sentiments of its author, 'on a matter which has Iclaimed the attention of a! considerable portion of our countrymen during some months past ;—a sub ject which we think might. have been much more profitably discussed at some other time. The let ter is as follows : Dear Sir:—l am in receipt of your note of the 17th instant, covering the resolution adopted by a meeting of the Whig party of Putnam county, ap proving the resolutions introduced by me in the Senate of the United States during the last session, in opposition to the Wilmot Proviso, and tender ing the thanks of the meeting (or the stand I took in behalf of our rights. I am happy that my resolutions and stand have met with the approbation of your meeting; not so much on my account, as acceptable as is the ap probation of my fellow citizens to me, but for a reason far more impOltant.- Corning trom a quay ter of the state so resctable and influential, I hail it as an omen that** 'Whigs of Georgia are pre pared todo their dtiVin reference to the vital ques tion involved in tiffhe,Xesolutions I introduced. I hope it is the*curscir to the union of 11par ties with us to*pel an outrage and impr •oked assault on us---one that involves our safety and that of the Union. We have the constitution clearly with us. My resolutions have been assail ed and denounced, but the truth of t the princitslq,s they assert remains uncontested and incontestible. In defending them we not only defend ourselves, but the Constitution; andhmdefending it, the UM : on itself, of which it is the basis. '.We must not be deceived—the time has come when the question must be met; Itcan no longer be avoided, nor, if it could, is it desirable. The longer it is postponed, the more inveterate and dangerous will become the hostile feelings between the slaveholding and nonllaveholding states. With union among ourselves we have nothing to fear, but without it everything. The question is far above the party questions of the day. He who is not for us is against us. f For your kind expres sion of feeling towards me, in communicating the resolutions, accept my sincere .acknowledgments. With great respect, I am, &c. J.C. CALHOUN. SAuuEL A. WALES, Es q Mr, Calhoun tells his corresponnents that the time has come, when the question involved in what is called the Wilmot protitiso, must be met. That question was, whether in any territory hereafter to be acquired by our government, the institution of slavery shall be toleratet This is the question which Mr. Calhoun would,. ave the country believe, is of far more importance than " the party ques tions of the day." The'Se party questions are a United States' Bank.; a Protective Tariff; a vend scheme of internal improvements by the general goVernment; the repeal ofl the Independent Treasu ry law; the abolition of the veto power by the President; the restriction of the office of President to a single term; and various other questions of subordinate importance. ,This, single question is of more importance than all of these. Of course, then, he is not only willing, but will feel it to be his duty, to forego the consideration of all other questions, in 0.-der to dismiss and settle this. That which men deem of paramount importance, they I will sacrifice much to gain. Therefore, we must conclude, diet Mr. Calhoun is ready:to sacrifice all his former opinions in relation o the oPpression of the South under the Operations of , a high tariff; that he is ready to_eaacel all his forhier expressions' of . .

The Democratic party, it has-seemed to us, thro'- out the country, take this common sense view of the matter; and have concluded, that it will be time enough for us to legislate on. the subject of territory belonging to other nations, when we shall get it into our possession; and have a right to de. mand the allegiance of those who inhabit the soil we may acquire. They have therefore, thus far, refrained from making any issue of this kind. Mr ! e trust that- no consideration will induce them to adopt a contrary course. Mr. Calhoun, it is true, says the question must be met; but how much so ever he may have been disposed to force upon the great Democratic party of the country, such issues as this, we think that his frequent failures to in jure their prospects, by adopting such a course, ought to satisfy him that he cannot do.them ma terial injury in this way. We do not know that he can either be persuaded or prevented (if it were 'thought important to undertake either,) from stri ving to make such issues as this before the people —and therefore, we hope the Democrats in Con gress will,leave the field to him—so far as contro versy is concerned—and to such as Corwin, Gid• dings, and others of the same fanatical stamp. If their visionary schemings can be voted down, we would say do so; but we horb the public treasury is not to be robbed by en indulgence for months in the discussion of such questions, let them originate in what quarter they may. • Beauties of Federalism. The' following specimen of u.decency" is extract ed from the New York Express, a rank federal pa 'The truth is. that since the time of Gen. Jack son, there has been but one party in the United States. That party 3 has been a band of robbers, sty hog themselves Democrats of every variety, as we have bzfore remarked, who have associated to gether under party discipline, to plunder the people by the aid of the lam` • To put domes party has been one of the avowed objects of the Whigs since the time when Gen. Jackson, and his associate Goths and Vandals, first thrust themselves into the White House."—N. Y Express. In copying the above, the Albany Atlas remarks: "These denunciations of Gen. Taylor, are cun• ningly concealed amid a column of flattering words. The General is branded as a Robber, a Goal and Vandal, and a public plunderer, because he voted for, and sustained Jackson . s administration ; and the open and avowed object of the Whig organiza tion is declared to have been to put him down; and yet the paper which gives vent to these ex pressions, claims to be a grateful admirer of Gen. Taylor's character, and will doubtless keep up a show of advocacy, till it is time to throw him over. board and take up a party candidate. This is a foul blow, which is struck in the guise and atti tude of friendship V Missrmo Nutunzns.—To complete our file of the Post, for binding. we will pay 61 for a good copy of each of the following numbert , , viz: 1546, Aug. 15, Nov. 27, Dec. 10, Dec. 26; 1847, Jan. 2 , Feb. 16, April 7, July 0. "The Posf-asks-us to stultify ourselves by acknow ledging that to be true, which our sense of reason and acquaintance with persons teaches us to be false. We might do many things to gratify a friend, but must be excused from this."—Gazette. The editor of the Gazette pronounced the letter of Gen. Irvin, (which we have several times re ferred to,) • POIIGERT, and expressed the hope that we would do as. he had done. We promised to do so, if the Gazette should produce proof of the fact. The editor of that paper in his turn, argued the subject; but offered no proof. We then gaite "confirmation strong" of the truth of our position —that the letter is GENU/SZ; and the Gazette meets our venues wit the little paragraph which we quote. Does not a sense of magnanimity, re quire the Gazette to acknowledge the truth? For the 'Morning Post. Mn. ILinrmn perceive Mr. Darsie is now in the city, and very industriously engaged at his old game of hoodwinking his political friends, without committfng himself too openly on any particular subject. Perhaps, it would be , asking Ma much of Mr. Darsie, at this particular time, to request his attention to a matter, strictly speaking, not politi cal; but as' his reputation is somewhat involved in the case, I feel in duty bound, to call his Eaten. tion to' the subject. Satisfactory answers to the following questions.will enable many former friends to vote fur Mr. Darsie, who otherwise cannot. First. Did you, or did you not, receive about $2,500 on obscription, from individual members of the Masonic fraternity, after you bad been burnt out," for the purpose of enabling you to build a house" on a lot of ground on the corner of Smithfield and TV d streets; the third 'story of 'millet' house was obe devoted to the use of the Lodges Nu. les, , and No. 113, for ever? Second. Did you, or did you not, receive from Lodge No. 45;11,200, or thereabouts, for one-third of the lot of ground upon which the above house APibuilt, for whicll. sum of $1,200, you were to make a deed to the said Lodge? Third. If you did receive the $1,200 for one third of said lot. Did you ever make a deed to the Lodge? If not, please to state your reasons. Fourth. Did you, previous to the great fire of the 10th of April, 1845, sell to Mr. Boader's two thirds of the said lot of ground ? If so, why did not you sell the other third part of the lot? Was it because the Lodge was in possession of its own property, and you could not eject that fraternity by law? Fifth. Did you, after the fire of the 10th of April, 1845, take possession of the unsold third of the said lot, and hold it, against Ate remonstrance of the Lodge, whose rightful Traperty it was, although they had no deed from you? A Mechanical Miracle, almost, has just ben per formed at Providence, R. I. An immense mill, five stories high, and .250 feet long brioo_ll , 4le, owned by Fletcher and Brothers, having beerThkllly declined so much from the perpendicußtr,„as to be. come almost a second tower of Pisa. It was also bowed in at the sides. All feared . that it wcokrbfall; but see what mechanical genius cau perform? By the application of screws and wedges, the buil ding, in less than nine hours, wasTestoredzto.lts or iginal condition, without a brick being started. A Mr. Carpenter has the credit of this bold and successful act. . For and against --"'rhd Boston Advertis r closes an excellein article upon the question of the Presidency, with the following pertinent remarks: If the Whigs of Massachusetts vote against Talylor, it will not be because he is a slaveholderi if they vote for him, it will not' be because he is a general."—lN. Y. Tritium.. Of course, then, if they vote against Taylor, it will be because he is not a slavpholder—if they vote for him, it will be becanie he is not a general!— N. Y. Gtobc. ' .... 11,.::XAT'1'..8.8.5,- TIM ROW OZf TURSZiAt NIGIIT.--Abpa 10 o' clOck on TuesdaY evening, an- alarm of fire wsts raised, and the watcfitneti thumped their maces, and people ran in alt directions, but it was novfot : some time _that the cause of the confusion was dis covered. A house somewhat notorious; in.the . sth ward, had attracted a crowd' around 'it, and some of the inmates;` supposing that the abject was an attack upon diem, made a vigorous defence. From evidence elicited at the examination before the Mayor, yesterday morning, it appeared that the bai-keeper fired upon the crowd at an opposite corner; from the steps; that brick-bats were then I hurled at the house, and in a few moments the fir ing was hard at the back part, and also from the second story, of the tavern, One witness asserted that there was no assault made by those outside until the gun was fired.by the bar-keeper. How this may be we cannot say. It is certain, howev. er, that there was some excitement without in re lation to the keeper of the house; on account of a young girl who, it was alleged, was kept within from her friends, wiip .. ..had endeavored to rescue her. Fleck, at the time the disturbance commenced, was under arrest at the Mayor's office, for keeping a disorderly house, so that he had nothing to do with the affair. Ashot from the window tuck effect in the side of a man named Campbell, who was yesterday morn ing in great danger. A boy named —, was also severely injured, but will recover. A number of other persons were wounded, but not dangerously. The watchmen were soon on the ground, who with the assistance of some citizens, stopped the disturbance, and took off eleven persons, nine of whom were sent up by the Mayor for a furth er hearing this mornirPg. Mr. Barker made a speech from a fire-plug during .the tumult, which bad a goof., effect. The prisoners arrested were all Germans—some of them may be innocent. One of the women was held to bail for her appearance this morning, and the other was dicharged. The following are the names of those arrested by the Polite : Mrs. Fleck, Mary Troupe, Godfrey Smith, Henry Schimer, John Reno, Nicholas Croup, Joseph Cline, Henry Buily, Jacob Keline, George Elsmere, John Glashaw, Kerlin Jacobs. P. S.—Campbell died about nine o'clock last night. Tess PROCEEpINGB AT PUILO" HALL, on Tuesday evening, were characterized by a great deal of ex citement and had feeling, which we regretted.— Fortunately the whole affair ended well, and we are pleased to say that Mr. Gihon and Miss Loomis came off best, again. The lady was not as bright as we have seen her, owing, perhaps, to the great excitement of herself and the audience ; yet the experiments were satisfactory. The attempt made in the back room, to prove her an impostor, was a total failure, according to the report of the com mittee. A gentleman proposed to read bandaged with adhesive plaster; he tried, but could not do it. This is a very simple matter. We have the testi• mony of our senses to prove that Martha reads without the use of her eyes ; it is not pretended by pretenders that ifiry can do so ; the bandages on them must first be displaced by the most awful contortions of the muscles of the face. Martha does not remove the bandages nor open her eyes; nor does she require objects to be presented in such a manner that it would be possi ')le to see them with her eyes open. Her eyes cannot reach a watch lying on her head, or placed upon the forehead. —We cannot understand why these people should be pursued with such animosity. Their conduct since their arrival ftr this city has been frenk . and honorable. Their object appears to have been to convince the public of the honesty of the experiments they perform; and in no case Italie they taken money from the pockets of those rho have visited them, without performing all they promised. They gave three free lectures, and they announced frequently to (heir audiences, that any person who should feel dissatisfied with the per formances, could get the price of the tickets re turned tti them. This was fair. It is not the conduct of charlatans or "humbugs." The ma jority of our sirizens, who have attended the exhi bitions, are frilly ; but a few persons—whose pleasure it is t4istress those who have never in jured them—seem determined to indulge theirpro minent propensity, by doing all in their power to annoy the opeOtors and subject. A Qustrrroi.v.—The County Commissioners re fuse to pay the fees of the Coroner's Jury, who held the inques:s on the bodies of the five little boys who we# killed in Sligo, on Monday. The foreman has :banded in a bill for five' inquests, while the Commissioners say there was but one held. The bodies were in - different places; the same jury attended in all cases, and the oath was administered but once. So the matter stands. The Post was out yesterday, in favor of the "Ten Houri" system. What do you say to a mammoth memorial, to the next Legislature of this State, on this great subject.—Notional Reform Party. cr,We go for it entire. Let the views of the people of this county be heard by the members of the next Legislature. Our doctrine requires us to advocate whatever measures will benefit any pot tion of people without injuring opera. The Ten Hours System can be adopted without injuring a single Individual. "PROXENADE ALL."—On Wednesday morning some of the guardians of the night took the liber ty of interfering with the amusements of some colored gentlemen who had been at a ball at Mr. Williams' house. The watchmen asserted that they were rather noisy—the boys said that they were 'nt doing nothing." The Mayor took the oaths of the officers; and sent the-dancers dancing to Mt. Airy for forty-eight hours., oj'The Jail is now well filled with•all descrip tions of cases. The officers have been unusually bnsy, both in town and country, during.- the past four weeks. The next term of the puarter Ses sions will be interesting to those who take an in terest in public exhibitions of degraded humanity. MORGAN EXCELLENT, IF NOT A Humacol—lgr.Jobn H.
