be brought out and divided amongst them,
also gave a shirt to each of the chiefs. W'e
then drove to the lake and encamped for the
night. Being acquainted with the treachery
of these Indians, i was not fuTly satisfied
that all w.is right.
Eariy in the mornitfg of the 20th wei hitch-
ad^ up our teams; fiudin - an Indian t: at off-
ered to -^aide us to B^ale's crossing,, we start-
•d to cross the river. witLout further delay.
After marchijig to the river, we launched our
boat and strctched a rope fiom one nore to'
the other, and as we were in the act of cross-
ing apart of the men. I was told that I should
not cross tbe river unless i gave a shirt to
-very man 111 his .ribu. as w 11 as to each In-
dian tb^re assembled. This was impossible,
even tf wc had given up ; hos - of very man
hi tlie company, - had our disposition been to
e<>mply with the demand. I told them that
i asked no more 01 them than what was light,
and that l would not submit to any thing
:tkat was wrontr.
Aa there were assembled at least. 400 on
the, opposite bank of the river, to prevent our
crossing unless ^thc demand for the shirts
was complied with, 1 gave instructions to
;tave toe r«>pe cass loose from tbe other bank
of the river. Mes-rs. Akerd and Pool were
s nt to the. other tide of the river for that
purpose, and while in the act of untying the
rape, the Indians began shooting at thcui
with arrows. They escaped- unharmed ; but
the India rubber boat was pierced in many
places, so as to be nearly filled with water
by the time they reached this side of the rtrer.
\t the time they commenced shooting on tbe
opposite side of the riy -r, by means of a sig
nal made by the Indians to communicate-th-
intelligence to those on this side, the arrows
minim- need pouring forth* from the willows
in the rear of the train:- Knowing fuil well
that we must fight I repaired to an open
place where we could better contend with
such a superior force. On reaching the lake
where we had encamped two days previous,
and while in tlie act of corraiing the wagons,
we were greeted with showers of arrows. 1
then gave. Orders to the men to kHl and. scalp
every one that could tHi feeen. It was a v arm
time for ai>out three hours, my men killing
at least two Indians for every three shots fir-
ad. and taliing some of their hair. This has
deterred th in from further molesting us to
the present time—although they arc collcct
ing in 'arge l umbers on the oppsite side of
the river, ana dare ua to cross.
I have forty m*:n, and as 1 believe we have
whipped them on this side of the river, 1 tnink
I could do the same on the other, wereit pos-
sible "to .:ross the river wi .h all my men. But
as I should be under the necessity of dividing
my company, as well as having the river,
which is one fourth of a mile in width, to ob
atract my movements, I think it would be
dangerous to attempt it without assistance?
I am satisfied that fifty men would be ample,
knowing, as I do, that I could wh pthein had
I not die river to cross. If, therefore, you
can with propriety, and in accordance with
your duties, or without tranacendmg your of
tfcial power, you will send to my assistance
« detachment of men.

In a conversation with a gentleman who
has of late been sojourning in Mexico with his
family, he informs BS that the great mass of
the people there believe that they are the on
ly enlightened people on earth. They think
the French nation comes nearer the Mexican
nation, in regard to light and knowledge.
th n any other, but tjiat they are far below
them. On seeing a fing r-ring. witb a_cross
upon it, on the finger of his wife, they made
the greatest ado.—inquiring how the Ameri-
cans ever heard of a cross ? And When in-
formed that they had heard of Christ^llea-
en. Hell, &c., they seemed perfectly astonish-
ed. Would that they could see themselves
in the nineteenth century as other nations

More Indian Neva.
Information reached our city yesterday thai
the Indians had been making themselves rather
too familiar on the Pecos, in the Vicinity 01
the Horse-Head Crossing , and. a .'company
under the command of C^pt. Bracken startco
in pursuit and orei took them in tlwi^cifiity ol
the Rio Grande; which side we did not inquire,
probably it wason the other side, as they
always commit their depredations;Ifnd then
dee to the other sidp of ihe Rio Grande, an-;
had a combat with them, killing fdtt> oTtbeii
number. Il Capi. Bracken did errant he river,
oi which lact we are not iniormed, he Was
perfectly justifiable in so doing. - Ja;ihc firvi

if the conflict commence.! on this ->ide ol the
riV" rand ended on ilic other, it was but one
cor.fiic 1, ai d uiti t be located where it com
■lienced. Tbe facts in ilii case are simp-
ly these; Capt. Bracket! has done what sever-
al other oflicers c. ui.d have done long ago;
and which, bad they done it, would long since
•:ave cuKhort these marrauders, who crow the
fiver, take th.eir pluuder andflew into Mexico.
But few officers on onr frostier have gaineo

Mexico and Mexicans.
Mexico is to be one of tbe nations of the
earth but a short time longer. It may be for
ihree years, five, ten or even forty; but the
time is rapidly drawing to a close, when she
will no longer rule as one of the nations oi
tbe earth. In the first place. knowUdgedbes
not sufficiently abound to render her people
capable of self Government; in tbe second
place the stock is so crossed that it is thought
to be an impossibility ever to be purified. If
is true there are still left some cipns of the
pnre Castiiian gtock, but they are very rare.
syid situated as they are among such a mon-
grel mixture, the national inclination u> im-
prove the opportunity :n the cultivation of
the baser passions and propensities for selfish
purposes would readily overcome all effort
at intellectual improvement and moral ad-
vancement. Our Government will not permit
her, as a nation, to come under the apprentice-
ship of any foreign power; tbe only hop*
they have is in cotoihg u der the protection
of our Government. This might as w^ll be
done now as at any future time; it has to be
done.
The great rendezvous of the thousands ol
Indians 011 our frontier is in Mexico. These
Indians may be' said literally to have pos-
session of Northern M<-x.co, with the excep ■
lion of some few towns. Conversing with a
friend who bas lately returned from Mexico,
he says that it is a matter of common occur
rence for Mexican horseman, when attacked
by Indians, to put their saddles in thf ground,
place their heads under them, and in that
condition suffer the Indians to cut them to
pieces. It is a matter of common occurrence
for forty Indians to i-insack a town contain-
ing hundreds, and even thousands of inhab
itants. They close the floors, get upon thcii
knees and commence praying to their patron
Kaint, and while wailing for it to come to
thrir relief, thej savages will ravish their
mothers and daughters, and then flee leisure-
ly to the mountains loaded with plunder. To
what a low condition has tlie blood of a Co-
lumbus. a Cortex and Pizarre descended ?
Mexico is without a ruler; and if she had
the material for one, she ha* not the material
for a representative legislature—nor never
will have. We believe that God helps those
that help them selves in prosecuting a good
work ; and we raafrbt* believe that an over-
ruling Providence has a hand in marking the
destiny of nations, and We expect to witness
some of his figuring in regard to Mcxieo,—in
fact we are seeing it already.
Financial and. Commercial.
The war news was the engrossSg topic ob
'Change and in Wall street to dij^. and pri-
ces, as well of stocks as of cotton and bread-
ifis, were affected. Opinions as to the < f-
t of a war varied, as was to be expected,
according to the interests of their authors.—
Heavy capitalists n ho have money to lend,
aud are weary of a three or four per cent
money market, were clear that war was go-
ing to cause a very active demand for money;
borrowers were anxious to be shown the
quarter in which a European war is to injure
ihe United States.
In truth, it is not easy to discern how this
country could be seruusiy affected one way
or the oth: r bv a war confined to the plains
of Lombard?. Such a war would/, it is true,
create a somewhat increased demand for our
breadstuff's and provision's ; like all wars, it'
would ^ nhance the current value of wool, gun-
powder, and other articles of which the mili-
tary consumption is latge. But as Austria
has no navy, and as we have little or no trade
with Trieste, it could not make the slightest
difference to our commercial intercouse with
Great Briatain. France, or the other Europe-
an nations with wiii h we trade. Assuming,
therefore,th*t the war will not spread beyond
Northern Italy—and everything tends to
show 'lint the great JJortbc-TO Pdw< rs of Eu
rope have resolved to confine it within those
Mini's—there is really no reason for suppos-
ing- that it could affe t our commerei I inier
ests, save in tbe particulars we have- men
tioned.
If.it spread t eyond Italy "-if Great Britain
became involved-allien, of course, the case
would be difterc.il. And though the general
principe i.s clear that commerce flourishes
best when all commercial nations are at peace
111 this case there c:iri"be little doubt but the
(.fleet of such a war would be 10'Stimulate a
vast, expansion of ere "'it and an immense dt-
velopment of industry an-" enterprise through?,
ou- the United State's. For. of the points of
commercial contact between this countr) and
fc.urope, all save one would be directly bene-
•vttcd hy a war, and that one would not be
injured. A general European war would
create such a demand lor Americon bread-
stuIt's and provisions as has never been known
before. Other articles, such as wool which
do not now belong >o the list of our great

would necessarily do all the carrying trade
of the. commercial wo id. •Ain i ican securi

such a wai would not render precarious.—
I nited States securities. State stocks, and our
best- bowls, woul lie eagerly taken op.by
prudent men throughout 'Europe. Finally
coltou, which is as sensitive to war r mors
as consols, could nor be materially affected;
for, whether the Europeans go to war or stay
at peace, th>rv must have clothing, and they
must kegp.th ir mill.- go ng to avoid riots at'
all their manufacturing centres. Nothing
can reallv diminish the demand for American
cotton in Europe but a -diuiunition of the pto
pie of Europe—an absolute and large de-
crease in the number of bodies to be clothed
ami families to be employed by the spinners.
Co: ton bas become as decided a necessity in
England and on the Continent asgrain, water
or air. ' 1 *
In a word, then, wliile the effect of a war
confintd to tbe plains of Lombard}' would
siufply be to increase the demand for Aineri-

general European w;ir would l>e to stimulate
a general expansion here, such fis this coun-

States forward at an unprecedented rate.and,
in the absence of u general bankrupt law to
