" Affairs in Washington. W-isnixtiTCE, November 17 Tho latest news from tho West Indies rcpresenta tho con centration of a considerable Brith Sect in the harbor of Greytown, in anticipation of anoth er visit from the American squadron in those seas. TLLa statement is probably well foun ded, but I have reason to believe tliat nego tiations are going on here, which have prog ressed .o far as to leiuove ail danger of ft eel lisiou between tho nrsval forces of the two com;- tries, at least so far as any question regarding Central America is concerned.

But the Ottoman dominions have still to be protected, and the blood of civili zation has to be avenged.

" , Our latest dates are: San Antonio, 2d; Austin, 4th, and Galevcston 9th inst. The San Antonia Ledger, of the 2d, 'has an account of another murder un d outrage committed by Indians. The Ledger says : On last Sunday evening, Mr. St. Williams, living on the Medina,, about fourteen Miles from this city, was cruelly butchered by a party cf six Indians. It seems that he had gone from his house for water, aud soon after his wife hearing him shout for asaistance, ran to the fpot and found that the cruel work had been doue-i-her husband, was killed. The Indians then came to the house, robbed it of its contents, and curried cf .their three chil dren. They left tho house a short distance and sat down to enjoy a featt served up with the most .shocking cruelty. Mrs. Williams fol lowed them, and by entreaty succeeded in getting from them her'two youngest children. The other, a little girl, they would not give up, but carried off with them, and is slid a captive among them. They also drove "off the horses of Mr.-Williams " Mrs. Williams started off for a neighlor's house, almost frantic with gnei", scarcely knowing where or for what she was going. After wandering about, lost and bewildered, for the whole of Sunday night, about daylight she came up to the house of Mr. Caruthers. ' , . 'Several citizens of the neighborhood started "o?T immediately in pursuit. We have not yet heard whether or not it is likely that the In dians would bo tuken, but would rather think that they will make their escape. The news reached San Antonia on 3Ionday the 80th, when a company of'hfteen or twen ty lcgulars under the command of Captain Calhoun, was sent in pursuit of the Indians. The party relumed on the evening of the 1st inst. The Ledger gays : They followed them sixty or seventy miles, when they concluded it was useless t-.Tgo far ther, and gave up the pursuit. The . Indians were Camanches, instead cf Apaches, a3 first reported. In their Sight, they did not fail to act out their ruling propensity that of steal ing. , They stole several horses from the f?et tlement about Quahi. 31r. Montell, a gen tleman from the Baudara, reports that a .cor responding party of Camanches pas.sed the Bandara Pass about ten days sinca. They were undoubtedly the party who committed tho depredations, as they took the same trail back. We learn from the Austin State Times, that Sve companies of Rangers were mustered into the service of the State on the S I inst. We lo.arn from the State Gazette that the Bangers will be sent to Fort Martin, Scctt, and Fort Worth, to await the orders of Gen.

Saturday, contains the following particulars of the lam entable accident which, occurred on Thursday lst, as already briefly reported by telegraph : Tho accident, we learn, was caused by the giving way of the scaffolding about the stee ple, the heavy timbers of which were being lifted to their place. The scaiTolding, and a mass of weighty building material, and sev eral men, wen down with a eiash among a large number of persons standing on the ground. Two men.

The following are the names of the wounded : Abner Francis, John Davis, John V. Jones, Evan Evans, Eiias Williamson, lid ward JonesJ Thomas Jones, James Scott, Win. Atherton and Jacob Phiilis. Yesterday morning it was thought Mr. Atherton was dying. He is an extensive and excellent farmer, and most valuable man. 3Ir.

Thff body of Nathaniel Jones has been brought to this city, and will be sent by express lo Ebensburg, Pa., where Ida rel atives reside. His head was utterly crushed by the falling timbers.

Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Hardee, of the United Statetea Dragoons; under the direction of the Secretary of War, has recently com piled a work, making a very essential changes in the evolutions of that.truly American arm of the service. It will be recollected that this drill had its origin in this country before tho revolutionary war that it was systematized during that inymcntous struggle, and that its efficiency was especially demonstrated under tho gallant Colonel Morgan, at Saratoga, and throughout the war The attention of France and England was then called to the utility of- the rifle and the drill ; and England especially had reason to rcaliza the importance of establishing it as one of the arms of her service, from the severe losses her troops had experienced whenever they met the deadly rifle of the Yankee. The Tirailleurs of Franco had their origin also about that time, and if we mistake not, Switzerland and other countries 0n followed in organizing rifie corps. From time to time, improvements have been made in the rifle, the shape of the 'ball, and the pystem of drill.. The French deserve great credit for the improvements they have recently made in the latter two, and the sys tem now about to presented to the people of the United States, combining, as it docs, all the important and useful improvements made in that arm cf the service, may be said to be as near perfection as can be obtained - SUM MARY-OF' NEWS, 03-The Legislature of this State will assemble in Ilarrisburg on the first Tuesday in January, and the inauguration of the Governor will take place cn the third Tuesday of the same month.

It was this mistaken notion that induced thousands to 'at taeh themselves to that political organization, vote for candidates holding these Ecnthnents, and thus prepare the'public mind for the ad vent of Kuow-Nothirgism, with all its Anti American arid despotic features. Tho same men who were foremost in organizing the Na tive Amcrkan party, were the pioneers of the Know-Nothing intolerance. ' '1 hey had reap ed the fruits of Native American intolerance. That assumed position had been proved with out foundation in either truth or justice, and the reflecting portion of the community re volted and refused to follow any longer the h ad of men who sought their own aggran dizement even at the expense of their coun try's peace and safety.
