F1tT 9TWErE lt - SIxxeICAS A*s By the neamer John Bull. which ar rived last evening, we received the follow iog imprtat intelligence frog1 our aten give crrespondent at ladependence. 1xvins.unitgc, July 17, 1843. Messrs. Editors.-Sono Texians have just arrived from off the plains. They left the Big Arkansas River on the 6th of July -they state that a company of troops. consisting of 100 men had a skirmish with 100 Mexicans, whith lasted about twenty or thirty minutes, a abort time previous. A few shots were exchanged,.25 or 30 of the Spaniards wire killed,aaumber woun ded, and the rest taken prisoners. The Spanish o.ceers attempted to escape on horseback, unt were soon taken, and a complete surren'e of grins and amaruni . tion.the consegnence. None of the Tex ians were wounded or killed-one person b bd a bullet pass through his bat. The prisoners wero shortly afler released and sent back to the Governor's camp, a little . distanee off, when he and his army of 600 men become affrighted and fled precipi. tately back toivaris Santa Fe-it is un derstood, though since, that they were re turning again to meet the company from hero. A party of Tezians, on a hunting ex cursion as they arrived, came over into the American Territory, near the Arkan sas river. Capt. Cook, with the U. S. troops, came upon thieni and took the whole number (100 men) prisoners. He -deprived them of their arnms aud then re leased then, with the privilege of return luig under an escort hitherw ards, or taking any route across the'prairie,as they thought best, to Texas. The most of them pre ferred the latter course, and J have no doubt jbined Watleld, Iwho was to am same the command of the remaining fof ces) and went in pursuit of the Spanish company, as they had determined to cros the Arkansas on the 3d July, en- their wray to Sansa Fe. Should they lie able to cast themselves bet ween the cothpany and thE Governor's forces, on or near the Semirono, the, will undoubtedly cut theni off entirely.' Our informant reports a good deal of dissatis faction existaug among the Texan troops, * -be says there are a great man y intelhi pent men among the numbar, but a mu7 jerity of rogues. Their object is booty. which they will ob~rom the Spaniards alone,- the Amecae7will not disturb unless associated an& uaksng part with the other.. The troops,- orea portion of them, .are to return in a few dia. Estract of a letter to the E'ditor of the Grleeuaaneer, dated -- Masso. Co.

(From the sperianeagA uaTral. 29th aft.] The Court of Common Pleas for this. District, commenced its sessiou or the. fourth Mondey in Juiy. his Honor Judge O'Neall presiling. The Judge had beeni holding an extra Court for Abbeville and Laurens, and reached bere with the fever and ague upon him. . Upon taking his seit on 3Mbnday, the effect of his disease was so appareut that a general opinion prevailed that he ought not to attempt to hold the Court. He was compelled to adjourn at one o'clock. till Tuesday morning. At 9 o'clock lie took his seat under the hope that a provislonary arrangement made the evening before, to dispose of a part of business by the con sent of parties and counsel, could be car ried into effect. Physically unable to con tinue upon the Bench, the Court was ad journed until.Wednesday morning. Immediately after the adjournment, a Bar meeting was organiaed, which on motion of A. W. Thompson, Esq., was enlarged into a meeting of the citizens gen erally. The following resolutions, at the sug gestion of the Bar, were offered by James Edward Henry. Esq., and afler a'; ex pression of opinion by nearly every mem ber af the Bar, the foremen of Juries, an'd others, were unanimously adopted by the numerous meeting then pteseut in the Court House. Resolved. By the Bar. officers of Court, jurymen, parties, witnesses and citizens, now in attendatice upon the Court o~Cum mon Pleas for Spartanburg District, that the feeble health of his honor Judge 0' Neall renders it imperative, in the opinion of this meeting, upon him to adjourn the Court until the neit iegular !'rn. Reaoled. That this meeting are well acquainted with, and fully appreciate the persevering busffies habits of the Pre siding Judge, which are alike honorable to himself and the high office he holds,justly commatding the tnlimited confidence of this meeting and the people of the State generally. Resuked, 'Thai ih sydmpa&iies and re spects of this meeting be tendered to the Hon. Judge Belton O'Neall, with iheir sincere wishes fur his speedy restoration to full health. and with their respectful re commendation that he adjourb the Court without delay. Resolvcd, That a Committee wait 6n the Judge forthwith with a copy of these resolutions. and that they report as soon as practicable, his answer to the meeting. A. W. THOMPSON, Chairman. S. Boso, Secretary. The Committee, through Gen. Whiiner, reported that the Judge, though under me dical treatment, had great hope of being able to hold the Court-that he would feel it his duty to do so if possilile, and that he would-probably give his definite answer on Wednesday,to which time the Coun stood adjourned. Contrary to every body's expectation, his honor came into Court at 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning 30a announced his intention to go on with the business, seem ingly having by his indominable will con qddred his physical debiliy in spite of the ague and the 'Doctor. We are likely, therefore, to have a lean dockefor the JudIge tt he fall term, much to the gratification of every one having business in the Court. Various important ease. have already been disposed of and the large docket may be considered as fairly broken down. Agricultural and Geologentz Survey of the .State.-lt is now known that .Mr. Itur fin will continue ini his office for one year only. The appropriation of the Legisla ture contethtplated a two years survey of the State and a union of Geological with A gricultural researches. hMr. Ruflin a hen he commenced, let us undertand that he should confine his labors to the exploration of the resources of the State in calcareous manures an I the spreading of information as to their npplica:ion in agriculture. In this department he has labored with great diligence and with signalisucceds. Through his investigations we now know that Saa~th' Carolina is smngularly rich in beds of marl, and the attention of planters has been so warmed to the subject, that we may expect tbe moat benefitial effects to the system of culture and the wealth of aur 8tate to follow. Such has been the uffect of similar investigations and experi ments in Virginia-whoe. sinjes the pub lication of the first edition of M r. Ruffin's h~ssay on. Calcarcons hManures. tht uses sf marl in the low country of Virginia baye been iticreased fourfold, and the in :rease in the prodtzet of the lands ha :een almost incredibte. The same valua :ale consequences we expect t'o flow feomn ais labors here. Confining his attention to this branch, MJr. Rutflo has let it be understood that ie will finish all that he purposes to do within the year from his commencement, tad that he will then resign his place.* To carry out the purpose of the Legi. ature. it will therefore be the duty of the' overnor to appoli a successor, and wei think there can hardly 6ien doubt of the I proPriety of choosing sneh person will. reference principally to an ciuennition ot' he Geology and the minerat resources or the Stabe. to this respeet, beyond dbubt, South Carolina ofl'ers a less varied and extensive field of exploration than mood of the States- but still not without inter et and value. -To the upper districts of the State especially, such a survey can hardly fail to be of value, and it la due to them, inasmuch as the main interest' of Mir. Ruffin's researdhbs Is confined to the low and middle distridt's. The Legisla ture appropriated *2000 a year for the surrey-to be continued t:vt'years. It ji not to be expected that any very glebra ted Geologist will resign his pursnits and comne here fhr that salary, hut it is proba ble that a competent man may be golpged -one to whom the distinction would[ be something-the salary something-and the love of science may make up whatever of deficiency in these t wo.-Char.
