Sento Fe Traders.—The St. Louts ar•
gan has the following as to the dangers
that threaten these adventurous men:
"Arrival from Brext's Fort.—Mr. St-
Vrain has arrived in this city from Brent's
Fort, which he left on the 21st of M ay .
At the crossing of the Arkansas, he met
CaSeively and 160 Texans, awaiting the
approach of the Santa Fe Traders, who,
left this state about the Ist of last month.
"Col. Snkely manifested no disposition
to interfere with Mr St. Vrain's Company
and expresses his determination not to mo
- kit the American Traders unless they
made common cause with the Mexican
Traders. The Texans are well armed and
prepared for a conflict. It was supposed,
that if they learned the change of the
Traders' route, they would follow them up
to the Fort, but would not atterp s t an at.
tack on the United States' side of the line.
A very large portion of the goods taken
out by the Traders this spring, probably
the largest portion belongs to the Mexican
merchants, and would be a profitable haul
to the Texans, if they could succeed in
capturing it.
"Mr St Vrain fell in with Cul Warfield
in a destitute condition on the Arkansas.
Warfield and his party set out to attack a
party of Buffalo hunters; some of whom he
killed and took a portion of their booty.'
The hunters collected a larger force, re-1
tamed, attacked Warfwld, and succeeded
in capturing their own horses and the tor- 1
ises and luggage of Wet field.
"The Santa Fe Traders were under
the esocrt of the U. S. Dragoons, Captain
Cook commanding. Mr St Vra:ti
ed Capt C. in regard to the Texan force.
Captain Cook, at the solicitation of the
Traderis, changed his dirrcti n an] pro I

S. side to Brent's F o rt. whi , h %void.] brinl;
the Traders within 300 miles of Santa Fe.
It was supposed that the Mexican part of
the traders would return t this state, if,
sufficient protection was not seasonably
afforded by the Govern o • of Santa Fe.'
Dreadful Effects of Insanity. —The
Bowling Green Gazette, of the 8 h says:—
"Jacob G Drake, of this county. who
for several days previously was seen to be
deeply despondent and distressed on ac
count of his family, his debts, and destitu•
Lion, on Sunday last, in a fit of derange
ment, killed his little child, and, with a
piece of plank, bruised, mangled, and, for
a time, killed his wife. Her skull was
broken, and many severe wounds inflicted
upon her head; and then he attempted to'
kill himself with an oil case knife, cutting,
his throat hum ear to ear. He is still
i3g, and his wife may perhaps recover."
FROM DEMARARA.—We are indebted,
says the New York Herald, to Captain
Burns, of the schooner Julia Tellfdir, fur
advices from Demarara to the 13th ult.—
Business was very dull. It was supposed
the duties would be taken off of all the A•
Merican produce as soon as the Court of
Policy meet. In the mean-time the Gov..
ernor having taken the law into his own
hinds, the levying of duties would be con-,
armed. Two foreign vessels were lying
off • the harbor, awaiting the action of the
Court of Policy.
MEATH OF COMMODORE DALLAS.—Alex
ander J Dallas, late Iltowne, a Comman—
do, in the U S Navy, died at the Troy
House in this city, yesterday. He arri•
ved in Troy in the month of Nily, accom.
ppnied by his daughter, on his way to
Saratoga for the benefit of his health; but
on account of the coolness of the weather
atibe•tirne, prt•ferred remaining in this
city. His health gradually declined until
the day of his death.
Mr Dallas was a native of Connecticut,
and a nephew of the late AlevinderJames
Dallas, Secretary of the Treasury under
Mr Madison. He entered the Navy about
twenty five years ago and has seen much
service.—Troy
Important Decision.—The last Alton
(Illinois) Telegraph says: "The Circuit
Court of the United States for this dis
trict, decided last week in a case brought
before the Court, that the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States only
settled the question that the two-third or
valuation law of Illinois was unconstitu•
tional when applied to the foreclosure of
mnrtgages; and that upon all judgments
at law where the contract or cau'e of ac
tion accrued prior to the Ist day of May,
1841, the valuation law was applicable and
binding, end that sales upon execution
must be made in accordance with its pro.
visions: The attorney for the plaintiffs in
this case has taken exceptions, and the
case will go up to the Supreme Court of
the United States, and in all probability be
argued and decided at the next January

The Public Works/
It is with no litttle satisfaction that we
refer our readers to the commercial column
for another notice of the tremendous in•
crease of the tolls on our public
,works this
year over those 011842. We take pride in
being among the first (if not the very first)
to break ground in favor of the Truck sys
tem, which, superadded to the economical
and prudent policy of the,Canal Board, has
produced these gratifying results. From
the hour the pernicious combination of the
opulent transporters was exposed, we have
resisted their well-concerted and deSperate
attempts to seizs the public welds into
their own hands, and now enjoy the deep
gratification of having seen the last of their
encts f‘il, and of hearing many of th tse l
who set out with them in their war against
the intere is of the State, bear testimony
to the superior policy of the Canal Board,
to whose constancy of purpose, fore
thought and sagacity, the present triumph•
act results are chiefly owing. We hope the
demonstration Aey have given that our
public works can, through the Truck sys
r
tern, be made profitable to the State, will
forever quell those pernicious plojectore
who would abandon that system and sell
the Main Line to a mammoth company— .
and we have an abiding conviction that the
people, with all the facts 'oef we them, will
not send a single man to the next Legisla
ture who is opposed to the present policy
on the State works, or who would think for
a moment of selling them.
Rho V. S. Loan.
The capacity of Mr Spencer, the present
head of the Treasury Department, and his
devotion to his official duties, are admitted
by his most determined enemies. An in
dubitable pi oof of his superior financial
skill, was given in negotiating the late gov.
I ernrnent loan. There is no doubt but the
jock easing prosperity of the country —the
returning "better tines" was the principal
reason why money which, a few months
since, could not be had at all, was obtain
ed with so much facility. But still, your
stock jobbers are the shrewdest of bargain.
ers; and the facts given below, prove that,
from some cause or other, they were in
duced to forego their exorbitant demands,
and loan their money at a reasonable rate
of interest. It is conceded on all hands,
we believe, that much of the credit of this
result should be awarded tt the Secretary
of the Treasury. In regard to this bust
ne-s, the N. Y. Aurora says
'Mr Spencer's recent operation for a loan
ofseven millions has induced me to prepare
a hasty sketch of its extent and bearing on
the country. It will be recollected he has
redeemed Treasury notes bearing six per
cent. interest, and issued stock in lieu
thereof at five per cent. interest. The loan
by the law runs ten years, and the follow,
ing is the result of this financial movement
in round numbers:
'57,000,000 negotiated at 8101,01 is $7,
070,700
By which we gain $70,700 of premium,
which, with the interest added fot the du
ration of the loan, gives a clear profit of
$11.6,162 33, in the matter of negotiation
alone.
'But the great advantage accruing to the
country is seen in the result of this amount
of money being borrowed at five per cent.
instead of six, which the governthent was
obliged to meet, for outstanding Treasury
notes nuw converted into stock: •
$7,000,000 with the inte

ten years at Bix per

Add to this the premium like the track of a wounded man through

And you get this result
uAccording to the unvarying custom
of the neutral press, which refers every
movement of an editor to a pecuniary mo
tive—and seems to recognize no other rule
of action—the Age insinuates that we cen
sured the conduct of Mr Smith towards
Rooney,because we published Mr McKen•
na's cards as advertisements ! To enter
into any argument to convince the public
of the utter want of charity and truth evin
ced by the author of this charge, is use
less. It is hardly necessary to meet it with
an indignant and scornful denial.
But as we despair of making the Age
admit the injustice ofits allegation, we will
use its own arguments in showing how
weak and stale is its accusation. And we
ask the Age if, in censuring both Mr M'
Rabid .ditimals.—Every day we hear
of mad dogs and hogs ranging in the city
and vicinity. In many cases, uotwithstand
ing the existence of strong suspicions that
anjmala are mad, they are permitted to tun
at lug' or are insecurely confincd,and soon
punish the carelessness of their owners by
breaking loose and biting at every thing in
their way. Such trifling with the lives of our
people,is extremely culpable. Na hog nor
dogshould be permitted to live after a sus
picion that it is attacked with hydrophobia.
We hope that the mayor and police will not
forget their duty on this subject.

Duel Extraorrary.—Accordin g to the
Worcester (English) Chronicle, an affair of
honor took place, a short time since, near
Worcester. Two young men, a butcher
and a.tailor, quarrelled in a public house,
high words were exchanged, and a portion
of the company suggested that, after what
had passed, a duel was inevitable. The
butcher,who was in the secret, immediate
ly agreed to this proposition, and the tai.
lor was at last bantered into acquiescence.
In the absence of duelling pistols, two
guns were procured; the one given to the
butcher had merely a charge of powder
whilst that of his opponent was loaded
with —currant jam. The parties adjourn
ad to the green in front of the house; the
pieces were discharged. when the butehet
fell bespattered with jam, and was borne
off the ground an "awful spectacle." The
horrified homicide was taken into custody,
when, after having been tormented for an
hour with reports of the condition of the
"dying man" the hoax was explained

Theatricals in Russia.—A continental

this advantage to excess. Allan and his

Paleis Royal, quite enormous. He is
married, and returns to Pari4 with his
wife in September next, having assured his

The Ottowa Free Trader contradicts the report
in circulation about Joe S.n.th b,ing in Jail at
o,towa, as he was not there at all. Nor is it true
that 200 horsemen started from Nauvoo lot Otto

100 armed men ascend the Illinois river, to second
the attack, nor was Smith, p-evi ms to his arrest

Don't happen but once a year." I quently asserted that they would nut wait; but
would leave for the city at hazards. They were
however, induced by the force of argument, to'
desist from their intention, and wait until morn.,
ing; when the habeas corpus was served. After
which, they stated their determination to go to
Rock Island and by steamboat from thence to
Galena before Judge Brown. Gen, Smith, justly
felt fearful that, once on a steamboat, he should
hardly reach Galena. The distance from Dixon
to Rock Island is the same as from Dixon to Ga
lena. Gen. Smith, finding this their determine.
lion, commenced suit aga'nst the sheriff from
Missouri fur trespass, and held him to bail; which
he was unable to procure, which circumstance
lowered his tune a little; and thus, finally, on the
26th, he left Dixon for Quincy, in search of Judge
Young.
Of what subsequently happened, we have not
yet heard; but we have little doubt that, if they
succeed in finding Judge Young, Smith is, by
this time, in possession of his liberty.

divine who was remarkable in the first pe•

inquire 4 of him what had induced him to
make the change? He answered, ' When
I was young, I thought it was the thunder

wiser, I discovered that it was the light.

It will be perceived that the imports hate hiss

average of abut twelve millions per annum. tin
excess of imports being ever exports 111247,8f0A9
For nice years prior to 1840, the imports uniform"
ly exceeded the exports. This, no doubt. was
owing to the large amount arms: State Stocks seut
out to Europe for sale.
The whole amount of airports in the United
Sillies, during the last seven years, wss 5991,762,r

1839, the year that the crops were most abeftdeilag;
there were raised in Ohio 17,976,647 bushels;
Pennsylvania 12,872,219 do.; New York 15 . 2,30111'

846 do.; Illinois 4,026,184 do.; and Michigan die
896,79.1 do. By the above it will be seen es a
wheat crowing state, that Ohio stands Laub ie.
000,000 ahead of the highest. In case only .1a
surplus was exported, the revenue to the elate flue
this single article of our produce, would be &beat •
$2 500,006' at least, putting the price of wheat at
a very low rate. At ptescnt prices, tak
average in the prices here and in the e rn
part of the state, and the sum would extend to
nearly $4,000,000.
From what we can leaTh from oar correepose
dents, the crop of the present year, owing to tla
injury it received by the told weather in the eau
ly part of the season, will not be so large 1 pro -
portion as the one in 1839. It will not fall mach
behind the several averages. CM. Eng.
