INTERESTING FROM CHHUABHA.
The Battle of Santa Cruz De Rosales.
The U. S. steam ship Fashion, Capt.
Morgan, arrived from Brazos Santiago
yesterday, whence she sailed on the
30th ult., bringing its sentral dagys later
intelligence from the Rio Grand~ and,
Interesting news from Chihuahua. A

him. ie was taken prisoner some
months since near Chihuahua, and con
fined till about. the first of February;
'when he succeeded in making his escape
and joining the American troops at El
Paso. He participated in the battle of
Santa Cruz de Rosales, with General
Price's command, and- lias kindly fur.i
wished us with a succinct of .the affair
and the events which were.connected,
with it. As we have had no accounts
of the engagementtsave - from'Mexican
sources, an American's version of the
affair will-be read with interest.
Mr. Collins informs us-that about the
first week in Februarg he succeeded-in
breaking prison a Cihiahua then i_

ant wlo. were surprised and. taken, at a
small-town called Carasal, half beta een
Chihuahna and El Paso. Letters an.
nouncing the intended march of ijrrea
were found in the possession of the com
manding officer. Intelligence was there
upon despatched to Santa Fe to^ Gen.
Price, who immediatly : started with
two compnnies of the It 'Regiment U.
S. Dragoons, corimmanded by Major
Bell, one company of same regiment,
acting at artillery, commarded by Lieut.
Love, and the- hattallion of St. Louis
Infantry; coimanded by Lieut. Col.
Easton, and tho Santa Fe Battallion
Major Walker, and arrived about the
20th of February at Cf Paso, increasing
the command to about 1500' men.
It was asce tamed that the report of
Urrea's adiance was- entirelf false, and
Squire Collins furnishing .Gen. Price
with all information of Gov. Trits's po
sition' a'nd means of resistande, Gen. P.
at once determined to march down and
attack him. Accordingly onr the 1st of
March, he started with about 400 men
and arm ived at Chihuamhua on the eve
ning of the 1th~ performing the entire
distant in the extraordinary spade of
seven days. A deptriatiotr of the ciciv
authorities came out and held an inter
view with Getn. Price, informing himn of
the r-eported .cone!usion of a treaty of
peace between Mexico andf the United
States, and entreated him not to criter
the city. Gen. Price very prop~etly
disregarded this request, doubted the in
formation' and marched into the city.
Ascertainiimg that Trias was bnt one
day's march removed front him, lie dge,
termined to follow him the next morning
and accordingly raised all the horses
he could to supply the place of those
brokendawn on the march from El P'aa
so, and:th'e next morning utf9 o'clock,
his enmomndwere all on thme march af
ter Trias. Notwithstanding the previous
long marches; this gallant commnand ac

day and halted before the. town of Sans

doator cuts'open the great artery of the
neck, and tells his patient "be quiet. good
'sir, I am only giving you a little bleeding
for the good of your health." We will
rather take our own sense as to his inten,
ion by his act than by his word. One
who goes for reform-in good faith, goes for
the good of the Bank-goes to make it use
ful and safe, and to continue its existence
as such. Now we look back at 1843 and
see the recomendations made in Goy.
Hammond's message, and we see clearly
that if they had been adopted the BatK
would have been destroyed as effectually
as the doctors patient whose jugular was
cut under pretence of bleeding-anti we
now throw our eyes on the pages of the
great leader of these movements tagainst
the Bank, and we see in the xxi. number
of the pamphlet of "Anti-Dett," that he
recommends the people "to annihilate the
fraud"-(that is the Bank,) and insure
their "safety by terminating its existence."
Can any thing be lainer ? To "annihlli
ate" and "terminate its existence" is re
form with a vengeance. Now it seems to
us that before the people decide to follow
any leader or act by his advice, they should
see where they are to be led, and what
they are to he used for. If they wish to
set thinkingly and- prudently, they will
pause-and think themselves-and .:above
all. they will'desire as their.- Representa
tives in the Legislature where these things
must be considered, men who will not
blindly pledge th-emselves to do any thing
and afterwards-listen'to argument, exam
ioe evidence, and perhaps repent at lei
sure. '4'.wise man acts cautiously.. Ex
acly !n proportion as the subject is impor.
tant, will he desire to see evidence and
hear ali argument before he hurries to a
deeisiun.' And if: ady' one. is in such hot
aste: to become a machine instead.or' the
dtratmelled. piesentative: of a think
ing nd intel lige peoie, he is not'likel
e1e'dei esrndl casts his vote. --That
we 'do notagree tnthe system started now;
for the firsttime, in demanding pledges of
our catidide before they go' to measures
that must'he discussed .in the LUegislature
afterwards. They are no longerfree men,
after they have surrendered themselves up
.to these' pledged. r men thiak an'e act es
reason directs. But they promise to' think
no more and not to .act as evidence and
reason may direct them when the tim'e
comes, lyut to act in.a certain way, let ev
idence and reason condemn ever so much.
Now let the people act as they may, they
always think sooner or later. They may
be misled for a while, but reason will come
back, and then they will put a proper esti
mate on the man who has done his duty.
They will value as they ought those high
and honorable minds that refuse to be
made mere registering machines, and to
bb degraded from the independent tnanly
Representative, with a free mind and a
true heart,'to the mere cypher, whose on
ly duty consists in giving his yea to the
measure that has been cooked up for his
digestion.
For our part, when we select Repre
sentatives to stand up for us in she Legis
lature, we wish them to be the equal of
those they meet-not to go there tied and
in fetters. We wish to see them th'e Rep
resentatives of a free constituency,weari.ntg
no man's colrcr-not mere counters of a
game marked up and scored1 by the mas-|
ters who play it, and often play it for ob.,

From tie course which thii discus.

ded that the part of the country which t

that all that we have to look td for prom
section are the.guaranitees of the consti
.tution, and thd dmpromises qiade under
it; and I feel as well assured as t do o
any sentiment I ever uttered, that these
guarantees will be violated -as well as
sured-as l ani that, ;he compromises
wihich have been made hag been disre- :,
garded. I feel that tte sentiment of
the north against the institution opslaut

going to show that the guaranties of the' 7.' '
constitution will be, as the compromis -
es have been, disregarded. But obefre
I approach this part of the subject, I
beg. to ad'dress to you a 'few remarks'
upon' the bill which is ofred for our
consderation; What i' the bill sir?
It proposes to require from' the inhabit= , 4. - ..
ants of this District to'enter into'bonds
for it amounts to that--to indemnifyall
persons who shall suffer losses by means- :n .':
of a mob-to indemnify all persons for -
any possible trespass that roa be cor. -
mitted upon them by irresponsible vio
lence. Now, I m'ust be permitted to
say that'this is a' srt of legislation; tha" - ='
is riot to be found in that part of the
country in which' I live.- I think it -is
unknown in the States south'of the Po
tomac.
Why should we be called on to 'assa
law at this time, to give indemnity for '
trespasses" committed by a mob? If
wersesatisfied th'at the existing laws of '
the Dfistrict were inadequate to the pro
tection of thle property of the'citiien,I '
do no't knowd that I should' b'e a'verse to
the adoption" of some mneasu're' that mright
be calculated to control' th'a ioven'ents
of a mob.- B'ut tvhat is'the fdct I Why,
that the lfis a'e i'adeqiiate to the pro'
tection of th','owners of slaves a'gainsk '
those whoare dis'posed' to inteifere with'"
that species of property,' whilst othet'
species of liroperty has' adequate p'ofece * 5% L
tection. I put the'q'uestion to the'hion~. ' ,
rable Senator from New H'amslire,
whether h'e will agree'nosi to' b'ring in'a'
