| LOUISVILLE, Ky. Feb. 28.--The Missouri
Intelligencer of the 5th inst. printed at Frank
lin) contains the following important infor-
nation
awe are indebted to the politeness of a
friend at Fort Usage, for the following infnr-
nation, direct from Arkansas, which is from
an authentic source.
Major Cummings, the commandant at
Fort Smith, has demanded of the Usage
chiefs, those who committed the late murders
| In that quarter. The chiefs are willing TO sur
render them, but cannot force obedience, as
the murderers refuse to he given up, and are
protected by a majority of the nation. The
| cOmmandant has given them until the 10th
| of January to consider il at the expiration
ofwhich time. unless they should be given up,
an attempt will be made to take them by force
They threaten resistance, and say that il such
an attempt should be made, they will compel
the mission families to supply them with pro-
| visions, and the traders TO furnish them with
| all their guns and ammunition. The Osages
are divided into several bands, one of which,
! the Chienial. did the mischief The others
did not hold themselves accountable for the
depredatiOns of that band, and will, in all
probability, ia case of necessity, assist the
traders in their vicinity"
letter of late date from respectable
source, on the Arkansas, states that the
Osages, Cherokees, Kickapoos, and Delawares
met at Chouteau's trading house, and Joined
in great dance. Mr.. Augusre Chouteau stated
that this savOured very much of combna-
ton OF those nations against the whites Such
a thing would he very dangerous TO the from
tier settlements Of the Arkansas aud Missouri,
and require considerable force Ia auell il.
Tue Union Mission family are much alarmed,
and the Harmony family do not consider
| themselves free from danger
| The settlers upon the Arkansas are raising
volunteers, and have already organized one
company. If IL should he necessary, we have
90 doubt that Boon'S Lick could furnish few
rihemen of bold hearts and correct aim.
| We understand that General Jackson, has
been strongly urged to visit this City, before
his return home. tits also said that the Gen
erai has consented and is expected here in less
tnan two weeks Phil. Press.
| Letters from the Western Counties ofPenn-
sylvania, express much dissatisfaction at the
recent nomination Of Mr.. Calhoun, for the Of
flee OF Vice President. This feeling is the
more general AS IT embraces the friends of Mr..
GalIatD, and the early and fast friends Of Gen
eral jackson. The first class is made up of
men, who remember, with gratitude the abil-
ity and courage with which Mr.. GaIlstin
breasted the shOcx ofFederalism in Congress
during MIR. Adams Administrat lion. The Sc
cond not only regard Mr.. Calhoun As a dead
weight on the Electoral ticket, but they have
serious approximations that that Ticket IS made
up ota majority of persOns who would prefer
Mr.. Calhoun TO General Jackson, as their next
President and they fear that the same man
agement which placed him on the Ticket as
Vice President might get him the vote of
Pennsylvania. There are many other causes
| which unite to sfrPnuthPn tho ,,nuos;fiou A.,
| MIR. Calhoun. The dissatisfaction throughout
the State is greater than we had unprecedented.
IL is probable il will Increase Again, we call
on the aged and experienced and influential
men the Democratic party, 10 stand for
ward and give their party and their country,
that advice which attachment to principle,
disInterestedness and experience shall dictate.

We noticed some time age paragraph in
an English newspaper, giving an account Of an
engine for producing power, which would su-

may he said 20 he the age Of invention, we
passed it =. r. as not deserving immediate no

DUNG the present session, has passed a law
authorizing the Secretary of State, to issue

has actually disposed Of Oue half of his patent
for this country, to two respectable nlercan-

other IN Philadelphia palmer in each house
