I wrote you from this place yesterday,. giving you what information I had of the movements of the army. I have; one or two additional items of armny news which .1 may as well send you. I told you that Coi. Hays's Texas regiment of mounted men, -which I shall accompany, would march 'o-day. Owing to the non-arrival of his tents, which have been sent for at Point Isabel, he cannot leave before to morrow or the day after, but by theJatter" time the regiment will move. It does not proceed, as i -understood it would, direct .for Cumargo, bat will go towards Tampi co into the interior and join the main army in a few weeks at Camargo. It is the set tled opinion of all here that Hays will meet a stron force of Mexicans - on his route and of course have a fight.-Gen. Taylor,.it seems, intends giving the Rau gers a change. "on. their own hook" to get inro a "scrape" and then get out of it as bdst they may., The regiment, I learn is about 700 strong. From the St. Loais Reville. - LETTER FROM CAPT. MOORE. We have received from a friend in Jef ferson City, for wiiihti he has our thank, a private letter -eceived from Capt. Moore, commander 'of the advance guard of U. S. Dragoons, now. en.'roule for Santa..Fe, from which we make the following. ea= tracts 'HEAD Q'Rs. ADvAKcE GUARD, U. S. A. Pawner Fork. Santa Fe Trail, July 10. Dear Friend: -Your kind letters have been received .by an express. and I ent brace this, the first opportunity that has offered to write to the United States. You know I was ordered, with a squadron of dragoons, (with only eight hours notice,) to proceed in pursuit of Speyers. the San ta Fe trader, who had some wagons, load ed with arms and ammunition, for New Mexico; bit from his . having 1o much the start, I was unable to overtake him. When t .left my camp at Kansas river, on the 7th uit., and up to the time of my arriv'al at the crossing ef the Arkansas rt var, I cotild not perceive that ! had gained much on him, judging from the age of the sign he made, although I followed in .a forced march, reaching the crossing in ele ven and a half days.. Our march was the . most disagreeable out of many that I have experienced,in consequence ofthe drought, no rain having fallen since last spring. The tdads were.exceedingly-dry tnd dusty; and for saverat days'we marched 25 miles wihdiott water. On outriiva1 ai he- crossing; finding" no Mexicaus, .norsign of-any,, and the grafcsfee-andE insufficient, I fell back, 'vit y. ~comman4(to this point above l;hi I:lsilliwe 1 Effhnline of march :f r ont's Fort. orithe:Arkaesas, with five 'com.panies-under my command, three of dragoons-and two of mounti'd yolunteer riflemen-the two lattet companies,Capts.

The volunteer officers are clever 'fellows, 'atd have a fine lookitng set men. who, althotugh igior-atut of military triaters, evince atdisposition to learn highly credit able to them. *We have no newts worthy of credit fron1 Santa Fe, but it is rumored that Get.. U~rrea, from the Passo Del Norte, has marChed to Santa Fe, with an army of from three to four thousand troops; if so, see may meet wvith a twarm reception. WVel1, it is not usual for us to be rivalled in cordiality. We will recip~rocate their politeness--the American eagle will vie with' the Mexican in a hearty grip. Lieutenant Colonel Rufif, of the Mis souri mounted volunteers, was abcout two days in rear of Captain's WValdo' and Reeds corps ; he will overtake us at Dent's Fort. The traders (all of whom I have retained at this place as they arrived) have conclu ded to go by Bent's Fort, instead of the Semaronue, as they originally intended Among the traders, and those accompany ing theta, I have found some polite and courteous gentlemen; amateurs; some travelling for the sake of locomotion, some for pleasure, and some in the pursuit of health. Among the latter, I have me: an old friend, George 'R. Clarke, of St. Louis. I am glad to say, his health is much im preved. I have taken him intoi my mess, and b~y the time he reaches the base of te -nountains, and enjoys the bracing air, so celebrated for its eflicacious influence in pulmonary and dispectic affectiorns; I hope to see him perfectly wvell,- and able to kill and butcher lIwo buffaloes, instead of one, (he mastered one sa fewv days ago on a hunt with me.) WVe are all well, and'in flne spirits, in contemplation of "business on hand." As opportunities of communication with the Unaited States'will now be frequent, I shall write often, and hope. in future, to have something more interesting to impart. Yours, truly. BENJA MIN D.

Treaty with the Pottowatonie indians. -The-Union publishes this important treaty at length, which was concluded on the 28th ult. By this treaty, the possessory' right of the Pottowatomies to some six millions of acres of land is extinguished five millions of valuable land lying between the Missouri and Mississippi. west of the State of Iowa and north of the State of Missouri, and one -Million of acres on the Osage river, west of the latter State. The 'State of lowa--will by this treaty gain a front on the Missouri river of several hun dred miles, and that State obtain possess ioh of f.ve millions of fruitful and saleable land,-towards which a large emigration has :already been directed. The Pottowatomie Indians have had .a greater share of English feeling than any of her tribe in the United States; and, on their late location, they were still within the scope of English ir.fiuence.-Many of the chief] sat in council in the recent ne gotiation, exhibiting English medals. By this treaty, they not only pledge their fealty to the U. States, but are located within forty or fifty miles of a permanent garrison, ! (Fort Leavenworth,) and are placed immediately adjoining the brevet tribes of Indians on this continent, whose attachment to the people and government of the United States is immovable-we riiean the Shawnees.and Dielawares, whose well tried maxim is, never to turn their backs on their enemies. ilisce Ilaneous. The Course of Senator Davis.-Wc do not remember to have seen one single paper in the whole ofour immense exchange list, I that has undertaken to defend the course of Senuastor Davis on the last day of the session, in speaking against time for the s purpose of defeating action upon the Pre sident's message. This message it will be remembered referred to the prospect of - a peace with Mexico, and suggested an - appropriation ofS2.000,000 for the discre tionruy use of the President in the negoti ation of a treaty. Several of the papers have passed the matter over as a good joke, i or an ingenious piece of trickery ; but they e have failed to look upon it as a solemn mockery of the high and responsible duties e of the Senatorial office, and as a irecedent ivhich bad men may follow under circtm. f stances when the effect may be really pernicious. Every act of this kind is an s added fucility towards the evil purposes of legislation under party influence, and tends to the degrdation of office ; especially. d so. whengit is lightly done bhy nien.who deservedly enjoy an eninetit position in e the esteem of thein coistittdency, for -the - general integrity of their career. Such is s the case with r-gard td Mr Davis'; an'd in rellecting opdt this subject Ie cannot - resist the impt-ession hut he Will arrive at it the conclusion that it had better iot have been donee Withditt reference whatever r, to the subject matte rf hetle ressage, we e look to-the actcof Mr:Uavti, per te he wvas requested over and over agiti to yield the n floor, fut. moment, thut antignit I, a-few 1ifurti This motion itself,'might h have !teed In1t. But the objedt of the mo tion was the consideration of a message from the "'Presidettt of the United tatcs In view ofthis faci, the dct of the Senator e was an offence to the nation. Or with but e a party view of the matter it was an insult e to that party by which ih"' sent incum di bent was elevated to the Presidency. And .in this view of the fact it cati be no less di offensite to mnet of ellrer party ;for it is clear that had Mr. Clay been the pr-esent s oc-cupant of that high office, accordinig to -the sentiments of Mr. Davis, a sitnilar - itnsult might have beetn offered to thme nation .through him, by any creature of the oppo - stte party capable of such an act, with a e like sense of imputiity. We exclaim - against such precedents, come from whom they may, they ate the vices of our land the steppitig stones from liberty to beecnti . ousness.--Baltimore Sun. SCorrespondence of the Savsannahe Republicain. - GLYYsN Co., Aug. 6, 1846. SGentlemen--Those of your readers who are iterested in fossil geology, will be t pleased to learn that sonme very valuable organic remains htave been discovered itt Stthis neighborhood by Mr. I. C. Plant, of -Macon, while on a visit to some of his friends. They belong to the mammoth f Elephas p~rimigenius,) atn extinct species of elephant. The remains of this huge animal were found ott Tur'le river, ab~out three miles from Bethel, on Mr. Myers' plantation. The bones w~ere embedied int a hard, compact, blueish clay, from six to nine feet below the suriface. nearly on a tevel wvith the low ~water tmark. A large portion of the skeleton appears to htve been washed away by the tide, the remaino tig parts being firmly embedied i:i the hard clay. Mr. Plant procured three or four of the vertebre of the neck, measuring from four to five inches in diameter ; also one of tbe upper dorsal vertebrre, from seven to eight inches in diameter, and from two to two and a half inches-int thick ness. lIe found, likewise, a large jaw tooth, the greater portion of otie of the tusks, and several bones belonging to the legs. Those bones which were nearest the surface, are considerably udecomposedl, by the action of the atmosphere. About twoo-hirdsof the large grinders was pre served, the weight of which is fourteen and a half pounds ! The tusk was nearly uninjured, ,etcept at the point where it protruded through the compact clay. This measured eleveti and a half inches in - diameter near-she part which was inserted in the jaw ! Th'le immense size of these organs is sufficient to show the gigantic saleon whtich this extinct animal was constructed It is well ktnown that the remains of mamrmoths have been found in the newer ,tertiary deposits in England, the conti nents of Europe, Asia, atid in different localities in the Ulnised States. The cel elirated Siberian elephant belonged to this genus of atiimals. The entire animial w as discovered; with the soft parts preserved in the frozen soil of the banke of a river. The discovery was made by a Tungusian, named.Schumarhoff, in 1799. At this-pc noda aniea nartinn arT ar ....-3......2 from thel iejm'ut inI803, t ie kTinieltend more rapidly, aid tie enoirnmus-iriass ell e by its own weight oii the-bank bf siid~. M'r Adams visited the'place two ;years i after this event;or the sevenihaftir.tlre discovery, and fond the matimoth stili there, but very much mutilated. The ba tives'had cut off the flesli for the purpose 1 of feeding their dogs, and hears and wolves d had also fed: upon it; The skeleton was b nearly entire. lie succeeded in -securiug t most of the bones, nearly the entire skint anti a large quantity of hair. 116 says that even "the pupil of the'eye can be distil guished." This skeleton is now in tht museum of the Acadejmy of St. Peters burg; and the skin still rem'ains attached to the head and feet.. A part of the skin, and some of the hair of this animal, wtre sent to Sir Joseph Banks,Tvho presented them to the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons. The head alone,- with the' tusks, weighed four hundred and fourteen pounds avoirdupois!! - But I find I have digressed from the ol' ject of this communication, and have al most forgotten that I am writing a letter, instead of a history of the Siberian ele phant. I am in hopes, however, that.our intelligent p!anters may interest themselves in such matters, and be induced to seek after and preserve the 'many "vesiges:of creation" which are to be found onrr r seacoast. If they cannot reasonably ex pect to regale themselves with the flesh of extinct species of animals ,'preserved. per haps, for fifty thousand years in Siberian ice; yet they can ad: much to science by collecting their more enduring remains. They are in truth, ''medals of creation," relics which, when properly. interprtcd', gives us some insight into the condition of our planet long anterior to the period when man became an occupant of its surface. A gentleman of this county, several years ago discovered the remains of the-mm moth associated with those of the Masto don, Megatherium, [lippopotamoni; and probably an extinct species of hors, in a locality similar in geological strucure to that in which Mr. Plant found these hbones. Yours, CUlVER. ECCLESIASTICAL POLITY. We are glad to see that special attention is, of late. bein; called, in vario oar ters, to Church Government ad cip line. A year or two since, a very',exce! lent little work was published on this sub ject, by our I 'v. Brother, W. Walker, of [homer, N. Y. We have somewhere seen a statement that Gould. Kendall & Lin coln, Boston, have in press, or have lately published a volume still" larger and more full than Walker's. Dr. Johnson's Lec tures, first published in the Carolina Bap tist, will we learti,. be thrown into the form of E volume, and siou, is .that shape, be accessible to'our people.
