Choctaw Indians.?The revival of
religion continues among the Choctaw
Indians, and 150 have been added to
the church during the last year; making
the whole number connected with
8 churches in that nation, G65. There
had been contributed by that people du
<i i ooq c i i .
mi" nit? ycai, viooo lur umievoieni purposes,
in addition to $26,000 appropriated
by their government for educational
purposes; making a sum equal to
$1.25 for every man, woman and child
in the nation?a sum greater, in proportion
to the number of people, than is
given for the cause of education by any
nation on the globe!
Printebs for Mexico.?The printers
of Philadelphia have formed a
volnnteer company numbering
over sixty men, and intend offering
their services to the Presidedt,
for the campaign against Mexico.
They have elected the following
officers: Capt. W. C. Tobey ; 1st
Lieutenant, F. I). May; 2nd do.,
J, T. Doyle ; Orderly Sergeant, J.
H. Roberts.
India Rubber Bridge for the
Army.?Messrs W. Rinder <$ Brothers
of the Harlem Rubber facto
ry, have secured an order for the
materials for a portable bridge for
the army. The " pontons" are to
be made of rubber, and when completed
no delay will be experienced
in crossing rivers, in a rapid
manner.?N. Y. Express.
What we are.?This country
has a frontier line of more than
10,000 miles. We have a line of
sea coast of nearly 4,000 miles ; a
lake coast of 1,200 miles. One of
our immense rivers is twice the
size of the Danube,the largest river
in Europe. The Ohio is 600 miles
longer than the Rhine, and the
Hudson has a navigation of 120
milpR Ion(rpP tlmn t li o
The single State of Virginia is a
third larger than England. Ohio
contains 5,120,000 acres more than
Scotland?from Maine to Ohio is
farther than from London to Constantinople,
and so we might go
on and fill pages, enumerating
distances, rivers, lakes, capes, and
bays, with comparative estimates
of size, power, and population.
The Nashville Union, the Administration
organ in Tennessee,
has the following :
We understand from a reliable
source, that it is the intention of
the Government to send a force to
California sufficient to take possession
of that country and to hold
on to it. It is supposed that the
mounted men from Arkansas,
Missouri, and probably Tennessee,
will be directed to California.
We sincerely hope that this information
may be true, and from
the source through which it is derived,
we are satisfied that it is
reliable. We regard California
now as ours, and with that result
all will be satisfied.
how their names are pronou.vced.?
A correspondent of the St.
Louis Reveille says :?As the
names of the following Spanish
officers are likely, at the present
juncture of affairs, to be frequntly
irt the mouths of our citizens, for
the satisfaction of those not already
informed as to the correct pronunciation
of them, I subjoin the
following:
Generals Arista, Ampudia, Mejia,
and Canales, Colonels Carasco
and Carabajal, are profiounced by
Snaniarflis. as nnnrlv ne nncai Mo oo I
J j -J UO
follows: A-rees-ta, Am-poo-dia,
Ma-hee-a, Co-na-les, Ca-rassco,
Ca-ra-vu-hal,?the vowel a, in
each instance, having the sound of
that letter in the English word far.
The j becomes h, the b, v.
The British government have
shipped 35,000 percussion muskets
for the use of the Canada mijitia.
The Montreal papers say that the
Burnhopeside, from London, expected
shortly, is freighted with
250 thirty-two pounders, shot,
shell and powder, for that colony.
Upwards of 5000 volunteers
have offered their services to the
Governor of Tennessee. Two
weeks have just elapsed from the
date of Governor Brown's first order,
and almost double the number
of volunteers required under th*e
call of the General Government
have been reported.
Tennessee.?The brave men of
this {State have turned out nobly,
many companies more than were
required having volunteered.
Those who first offered their ser
vices had priority, and the others
were selected by ballot. From
the 1st Division, five companies
had been accepted from Memphis.
Five companies of Infantry and
two of Cavalry from the second,
and six companies of Infantry and
three of Cavalry from the third
Division.
Mexican Flag.?Gen. Taylor,
says the N. O. Times, with a judgment
that goes intuitively to its
mark, in the conferring of a com?
plimentary favor, has just lorwarded,
by Col. Winthrop, Aid-deCamp
to Gov. Johnson, a Mexican
standard?one of his trophies on
the glorious 8th and 9th ult. It
was in token of his sense of what
is due to Louisiana for her promp-*
tlfll/ln * ? ^
in iui waruidg reimorcements
at the late crisis. LouisU
ana knows how to appreciate the
gift.
The Ciibrokbes.?Disturbances
continue among the Cherokees.
The latest paper received from
that region record the deaths ot
two Cherokees and one white man.
From the Van Buren Intelligencer
we extract the following:?
' After all, the poor Cherokees are
their own worst enemies. They
abuse almost constantly the Government
of the United States, notwithstanding
the many benefits
that they have received at its
hands. We know they deny that
Government has done them any
benefit, but that is always the cry
of the ungrateful. If the CheroIronCI
liO/l i trtr\
?uv/k) niiu U1I|>IUVCU MIC UCIICUIS
conferred upon them by the Government,
and their leaders had not
speculated upon and fraudulently
made use of these benefits, they
might now have been the most
prosperous and happy people In
the South west. They are their
own enemies, and unless a speedy
reform takes place, they will soon
be left with no name upon the
face of the earth. Alas ! for the
poor Cherokees!
North and South Carolina Hail
Roads.?A very enthusiastic meeting
was held at Wilmington on
Wednesday evening to receive the
report of the delegates that atten*
ded the Sumpterville Convention
on the subject of connecting the
North and South Carolina Hail
Roads. The meeting authorized
the survey of a route, and provided
measures to carry it into effect.
A question in law.?A man has
been indicted in New Orleans for
stealing an umbrella. His counsel
contend that this is no ofTence?
that umbrellas are public property
?and pleads custom to take it out
of the statute against felony. A
great interest is excited for the result,
as in case of conviction, it is
iearea uiousands ot otherwise good
citizens will be suddenly obliged
to fly to escape the wrath of the
law. It is stated in some books
on insanity that it once manifested
it self in a patient by inducing him
to return a borrowed umbrella.
The doctors gave an unanimous
opinion, according to'the authority
we have referred to, that the
symptoms were decidedly lunatic, 1
showing a want of prudence in not
preparing for " a rainy day," and
the man was consigned to a madhouse,
as the only proper place for
him. It is not known whether he i
ever got out.
The Union and Planter's Banks
of Nashville, Tennessee, have i
tendered to the Governor a loan of
8100,000 each" should he need it, ,
to equip or forward volunteers. \
A CARD.
Dr. T. A. SALE would inform his friends \
and the public generally, that he has returned
to Abbeville Court House, and is
ready to attend to any Professional call ,
that may be made upon him.
