LITTLE ROCK, "a. APRIL IS.


FROM Fort Smih.-By gentleman
arrived here, VINO left Fort Smuh on
Sunday OF last week, we learn, that the
commanding othcer has received orders
tor the immediate removal Of The U. S.
troops at that pos, to the mouth OF the
Verdigrls, where new military es,a-

ly on receiving the orders, Col. Arbuckle
commenced making arrangements Tor
breaking up the garrison at that place.
preparatory to removing the troops AND
public property, watch WAS to nave taken

The place selected for the future site
Of 5se garrison, is al the junction OF the
Verdisris with the Arkansas sbou, so
miles above Fort Smith, and SO below
the Usage village, and is lew miles
west Of the proposed western boundary
oi this territory. 1t is said TO be fine,
comrnanding, and healthy situation, and,

a second time to demand their surrender,
and has again retnrned without them, ant,

Mr.. Phllbrook, sub-agent, bad lef,
Fort Smith Tor the Usage village, for the

they would not be surrendered.
From what we can learn, we are in
clined 10 think that there is not much
prospect of this business being settled,
without brush with the Osages. Il is
pretty certain that nothing can be effect

him letter fom General Jackson, re.
commendingthat the cabinet should be
composed Of individuals from both the
great political parties of the country.
This has ben alternately rumored and
denied. Mr.. Lowry now puts his name
10 the assertion. We know something
of this matter and in the face of Mr..
Lowry's publication, undertake to say,
that Gen. jackson never wrote any
such letter, that consequently the Presi-
dent never read ally such letter; and we
put ourselves for pur Justification in this
contradiction, on he only letter, when
published, concerning which this story
has been trumped up, and which ii is
now to be presumed will be given to the
world, either by The General or President.
The object OF Mr.. Lowry and his
friends, In this proceeding is, by an I'M
worthy appeal to almost extinguished
preJudices and animosilies, to promote
their own particular views. On the in
decorum, as between gentlemen, OF
publishing private letters for political
purposes, or the sill greater indecorum
OF seeking to drag the ChieI Magistrate

hsps, but MT public, with other m en-
bers oil the government, we shall al pre-
sent make no comment; public opinion
indeed, will pronounce upon such con
duct, without our prompings. We will
only add, that II is a miserable cause
which calls for such support, and very
hopeless cue that in any degree relies
