ehe my had brought up their two cannon
and commenced discharging thera upon
the quarter occupied by our troops; be
could distinctly hear our soldiers huzza at
, each discharge, as if.in defence an exultation:
he therefore infers that they occuIiied
a strong position. He states that
one after he left, even until night, he
could hear the distant roar of the cannon.

soldiers engaged in that quarter* He
thinks they were either captured or retired
down the river. The citizen of Bexar had
previously received no notice of this
attack* qs all of their spies* except one or
two, who reached the city only a few moments
before the Mexicans were captured
by the enemy. This intelligence may be
relied on. We forbear comment until
further intelligence shall have been received.
We will only say* fellow citizens
prepare your rifles, for probably this engagement
has marked "Tekel on the walls
of Mexico."

We are indebted to the politeness of
'Captain Wright, of the steam packei Columbia,
from Texas, 2*2d January, for files
of the Houston Telegraph, to the 13lh of
January,the most important items of which
are subjoined Thc,U. S. sloop of war
Natchez, was at anchor off" Galveston Bay,
when the Columbia left.
From the Houston Telegraph, Jan. 13.
We have been informed by Major W.
Thompson, who, recently with a few com
radcs, penetrated to the lato Rio Grande
near Rliinosa, that the party of Mexicans,
\vhich lately visited San Patrico, consisted
of 500 soldiers from Mctamoras, with two
field pieces, and 100 <{ Ranchcros." He
learned this from two Mexicans, whom he
captured, about 27 miles west of the Nueces.
They also informed him that these
troops had left San Patricio a few days before,
and driven towards Metamoras about
2000 cattle, which they collected near the
Nueces. They had also eight or ten prisoners
captured near San Patricio, one ol
them by the name of Karns, they treated in
a cruel manner, when last seen, they were
dragging him along upon a cannon, to
which he had been tied. This slatcmcul
is confirmed by a letter just received from
Colonel Wells, who writes, that one of his
spies was lately captured about 25 miles
above Saa Patricio, by a party of " 10C
Mexicans. This party he (the spy) says,
had two pieces of artillery with tlicm.
They sent him down to San Patricio to another
party,where he was severely floueod.
at night he made his escape." Colonel
Wells also writes, that another spy, who
has lately visited Melanioras, found only
eighteen hundred soldiers there. Col.
Cos was then at Mier with one hundred
and fifty men, and there were only one
hundred soldiers at Rhinosa. These arc
poor preparations for an invasion.
The repairs on hoard the brig lately
purchased for the Navy are nearly completed.
The .Secretary of the Navy has
made great exertions to. prepare for a
cruise, and has lately visited Galveston
in order that he might personally superintend
the work. Where our cabinet officers
furnish such proofs, that they can sc
forget the dignity of their stations as ever
to subject themselves to the drudgery o;
an office: they will have no reason tocouv
plain that we do not sustain the administration.*

THE PRE-EMPTION BILL.
The discussion on this interesting subject
was continued to-day with much animation.
Mr. Clay presented himself as
the champion antagonist of the bill.. Me
inveighed against it, not merely with ve
l - li ?- -
loiucuvo, uui omerness. tl6 tilled the
Senate with the foulest reproaches, ana
thematizing a measure which he he's good
reason to believe the body approves?
from previous enactments of the same
sort?as pregnant with the most scandalous
frauds, infinite abuses, and turpitude
of every ftort. He would not make a
bounty oiit bf the public lands for the
poor! This was the burden of his speech.
The poof Were offenders?intruders; to
allow a pre-emption of their improvements,
the privilege of getting their
homes at the Government price, would be
paying " a bounty for violating the laws."
How forgetful is Mr. Clay of the deserts
of the hardy pioneer, whose adventurous
industry has given Value to ' the
wild lands, as they were justly called,
which their enterpise has opened up, and
made a subject of profitable moneyed investment
to the rich. Just in advance of
the first settlers, it is the rema'rk of
the Indians, domes ,the honey bee. ,.It is
the harbinger of industry which imparls
value to cultivated spots', and these bring
the whole region into market; and yet
the Government is invoked hot tp recognise
occupation and improvement of the
little tenements as the , slightest claim of
preference. They must be set up at auction.
The speculator's long purse compels
the settler to give up compelioh. It

The speculator appropriates the

TIIF. OPPOSITION OPPOSING THE OPPOSITION. I
Mr. Bell sought to cover the palpable
defeat ol his friend Mr. Wise, in his encounter
the other day with Mr. Downing,
on the appropriation to defend Florida,
by compluining that the chairman of the
Committee ol Ways and Means (Mr.
Cambreleng) found ways and means'* to
hand over the opponents of his measures
to be answered by other members of the
Opposition, instead of defending his own
measures himself. ?
There is a great weakness in this confession
of IWlr. Bell. It admits that so utterly
reckless, indiscriminate, unfounded,
and abusive, is the opposition of such
men as Messrs. Wise, Biddle, and other
Federal leaders in the House, that the
discreet and natri*?t!/? m?n nmnn?
, --""6 ",v"
own political friend!* cannot go with them,
so fur do they go against their country.
This was especially the case in the recent
attempt of leaders in the Opposition
ranks to defeat the appropriation bill for
the suppression of Indian hostilities in
183S. Mr. Cambrelcng reported that bill,
and pressed it on the House, not as his
measure, but as a measure for the country
?a measure to protect the defenceless
women and children of Florida and the
frontiers from savage butcheries.
Mr.- Cambrcleng was thinking of his
country. Messrs. Wise and Bell, when,
ever a measure comes up, arc only thinking
how tlrey can turn it to account by
, assailing the Administration. Mr. Wise
, was willing, it seems, to leave the froni
tiers to savage ferocity, if, in the mean
I time, while the Indians were scalping their
victims, he could strike a blow at the
Government.
lie opposed the bill with frantic vehemence,
evidently having concerted witfi
I Mr. Bidjile And Others a systematic attack
upon (he Administration and the gallant
officers who are perilling their lives in the
Florida war. In the very onset he was

i man against another! Docs not Mr. Bell see
f the import of this iort of compliment to

. modt unjust to Messrs. Doubling and

The country cannot fail to see, in this

FLORIDA.
We leaVn that news was received in this
city a few days since, by letter, from some 1
one of the Georgia Volunteers, of Geo.
j Nelson's brigade, stating that Geri. Nel!
son had had one or two engagements with
j the Indians. That in one battle, about'
I twelve or fifteen Indians were left dead on
I the around* hut tw? **r
0 ?. .? v vi n? m??i o men were
mounded, and one officer killed. We ore
unable to give their names, op .any of the
particulars as to the battle, further than
is above stated, as the information is derived
from a friend who gives us only the
purport of the letter.
- We have, from the Savannah and Florida
papers of this week, no later news of
importance than was published in our last.
If iube true that Nelson and the Georgia
Volunteers have made their way to the
enemy, we rest assured that a good report
will be made of their success, iu not only
cutting up the Indians but leaving them
to be found where- the work is dona.?
With an equal, or half a chance with these
savages, we need entertain no apprensions
as to the result Of a battle between
them and the gallant Nelson's volunteers.
,80 far, it really seems as though Occola's
words are to be made true, as to a five
years war with the 8emin?les. Our people
were surely very much mistaken in the
supposition that there was no occasion for
men in Florida, when Nelson's brigade,
44 unprovided for and unfed," made their
way through this State to Florida. It was'
then seriously doubted whether they
would be received into the 'service of the
United States. But who now believes
that they were not needed. The accounts
of Col. Taylor's command of a thousand
men, ^as many as one would have thought
sufficient to have engaged and conquered
the whole Seminole force) have been badly
''used up' and the Indians victorious
ih the battle.?A Dade's force massacred
in killed and wounded of the United
Slates troops! This does not took like
Bob Short's plan of receiving proposals
to close the war, by having them 44 run
down," would have succeeded. Jit seems
that these Seminoles are hard to find, but
when overtaken, except when 44 used up"
by our mountain boys under Nelson, they
have proved sufficiently skilful and strong
to baffle the success of the troops. We
hope to hear that Nelson has done something
decisively to terminate this expensive
war, when we get the particulars of
his engagements with this hitherto unacjcounlahly
successful and destructive little
j force of hostile Indians.?Fed. Union.
THE CIIEROKEES.
From the information we get in relation
to tlie Chcrokees in Georgia, every prospect
of their unwillingness to remove
without force, seems to exist. It is thought
that RosS will uot do otherwise than remain
sijent on the subject of their going,
and that it is his policy to permit thein to
be driven to the very last extremity?
(tvoil t n llin 1 ? 1
~~.v. m.v pwun ui me ueyuueii ana 10
be carried by force from the country. We
understand that their deportment towards
the whites is much more reserved than
uduaU and when addrcsed in delation to
their removal to the West", ,they decline
all conversation on the subject* Rumor
indeed, says, that in the Nation, beyond
the Georgia line, preparations appear to
be making by them for hostilities, and in
many parts the inhabitants are much
alarmed for their safety, in our Cherokee
counties, so much so that numbers are
now removing their families to the interior,
for better security against the danger
apprehended from these Indians.
We trust this state of danger, and the
report of their hostile movements are not
well founded in fact. Until the time arrives
for them to leave, we are inclined
to think there will exist no cause of dread
or danger from t{iem, unless murders and
other depredations are committed in consequence
of the imprudent course which
our citizens may pursue, either by exhibiting
their alarm in removing from the
country, or by provoking hostilities. We
hope that our Cherokee citizens will be
on their guard as to the movements of
these savages; and we anxiously trust
| the people will remain in the country,
prepared to defend themselves and their
U- - ?? -1 - - - -
noines, wnen me nme comes in which
dangers may be expected, and their assistance
be required in quelling them. We
i publish iit to-day*s paper; the order of
, the Executive, again inviting voliintfeeta to
enter the service for the defence of the
Cherokee country. From the active and
energetic measures which appear to be
taken for placing the country in a state of
preparation for defence against the hostilities
of the Indian's, every portion of the
nation will be well fortified with a sufficient
force to expel them, and strike terror
to their feelings c>f animosity towards
odr citizens before the first of May, the
lime,when, if at all, it is believed they
will be likely to commit acts of violence
against the property and perions of our
eiti?ens.---Io j ...
