Hardscra&ble.-The St. Louis New
Era gives the liillo)wmg account of an ag
ricult raisettlement, known as Hurdscrab
File, situated on the waters of the Arau
sas river, near the base of the Rocky
Mountains:
it consists of about 20 families, old
trappers and hunters, who have built
houses and devoted themselves to agricul
ture. They have all Indian nivesof the
nake tribe, they being rauch preferred to
the Indians of the plains, who are near
est to them. They raise considerable
:iuamities of corn, which they trade to
the Indians for furs, robes and other ar
ticles. The Indians parch the corn and
bruise and pound it into weal io skin
bags, and then make bread of it. The
ettlers in Hardscrabble have no mills,
cept a few different handmills, wah
chich they grind corn fur their own use.
These men are very expert riflemen, well
practiced in Indian usages and waarfbre'
and consider themselves fully competent
to defend themselves against all the In
dian tribes in that region, if they should
be attacked by thetm. They live a rough,
Lard, romantic life, but aie hospitable to
those who visit them, pi Lass through their
settlement.
From New Zealand-Dest ruction of the
Bay of Islands.-By a letter re,.eived
tiou Capt. Jabez I3 Howland, dated Bay
of Islands, New Zealand, March 13th,
we learn, says the New Bcdford Mercu
ry, that the mitives of Nen Zealand had
risen upon the English inhabitants of the
Boy Islands and completely overpowa red
-them. On the 13th march a battle was
fought 'between the English and natives
in which the former sustained a loss of
twenty to thirty killed, and a great many
wounded. 'T'he English fled to the ves
sels in prt, leaving the town il possession
of the natives, who soon teduced it to
ashes. A small Euglish sloop of inat
was there, %%hI se captain and several
men were wounded. An Atmerican sloop
of war was also there, but did not inter
*ere. Air. Clending, the English consul,
w as not injured.
As there appears to be some doubt in
the minds of' Post Musters and others im
regard to the proper conttruction of so
much of the new 'ost Olice law as re
hates to Newltspaper Posttge, we have con
stlted several of those officers, and the Act
iise!! rpon tbe subject, and are well con
vinced that, under the s--rie letter of the
la", all eteas papers go free of Postage to
uny &Jice within thirtj ruals of the place
of dstination, no matter what circat the
:nail mtay take in reaclng tuch Post Ut
lice. The Act reads thus :
"All nenspapers of no greater siz- or
stiperfices than 190h square inchs, nat
ie tra-wstmitted through the mail by th.
editors ot newspapers thereof, to all saub'
scribers or others within ihirty tnles ot
the city, town of other places n a hieh lh

Annexation Rat fed-Drath of Vice
President K. L. Anderson, c.
By the arrivat of the brig Hope Howes,
Capt. B. U. Shaw, from Galseston, yes
day, we are apprised of the glorious and
gratifying fact that the question of annex
ation has been finally consumated.
We give our worthy correspondett's
letter, which embraces a clear and suc
ciuct narration of the proceedings of the
Convention up to the latest period at
which it were possible to receive Austin
news:
Aos-ry, July 7. 1845.
The Convention assembled on the morn
ing of the 4th. and unanotmously elected
Gen. Rusk to preside over its delibera
tions. On taking the chair he made a
short address, w hich was well delivered
and suitable to the occasion. A contmit
tee of fifteen was soon after appointed,
wiho reported by their chairman, Judge
Lipscomub, an ordinance assenting. otl
behalf of the people of Texas, to the
terms of annexation proposed by the
United States government. It was udopt
ed with one dissenting voice-but five
ietmbers absent. It i. not a little singu
lar that the only dissenting voice w a-,
Rtcteard Bacee, the father in-law of your
Secretary of the Treasury; and brother
in-law of the Vice- President.
After the necessary resolutions were
passe d for the transeti-sion of the ordi
nHnce to the United St tes, a resolution
was oile'd b) Col. Love, and unitnit
ously alopted, ''that t leieehers near
crape oit teie left arm lur one moith, as a
lestumeony of regret for the decease of
General Jot kson." Whatever diflerence
.f op)1111i1n way exist, is regards bis polit

debt of graltuude To 'im we are en
uelited for the privilege of b~ecomting a
