We take much pleasure in announcing that
suitable preparations have been made forthe
celebration Of the impending anniversary Of
our National independence. A meeting Of
the young gentlemen Of the place was called
on Friday evening last, and was respectfully
attended.
Resolutions were adopted appointing a
committee of arrangements, an orator and a
reader of the Declaration of Independence,
and inviting the clergy, the various charitable
societies, judicial and corporate officers, MI
ltary associations, and other citizens, to unite
in one general procession. We doubt not
that the day viii be welcomed with becoming
manifestations of joy.
We are indebted to the polite attention OF
the Postmaster at Brentsville for the particu-
lars of melancholy casualty which occurred
at that place on the 18th inst. PETER
OWENS, man about so years Of age, who
had pursued the occupation Of well-digger
for the last forty years, was employed by John
McCrae, esq. of Prince William county, Vir-
ginia, to cleans well on his plantation.-Dur-
ing the whole of the day above named he was
closely engaged at his business, and at night,
throwing his coat across his lap, sat down on
the brink of the wen to rest himself. Having
drunk freely of ardent spirit, which was not
unusual for him to do, and being much IA
tigued with the labor of the day, he soon fell
asleep, and tumbled backwards into the we'll

that his property viii more than pay his debts.
1t is publicly announced, says the National
Intelhgencer, that Commodore PORTER has
been arrested with notification to pre-
pare himself for trial before Court Martial.
to be convened at the Navy Yard, IN TINS cl-

transmitting copies thereofto the President OF

The editors of the Intelligencer very pro-
perly suggest the. propriety of suspending all

Ne,c- FORK, June Is.-Letters have been
received in this city from Mr.. Owen,
dated New Harmony, Indiana, May 5,
which state Shat the most extraordinary
events are taking place in the Western
country. Colonists from the East,
West, North, and South, are hourly ar
irving. This place is likely to be filled
to OVERLOOKING before the end Of the
next month, and in the fall it will be
necessary to prepare for other commu-
rites" Another letter, dated, April
%, informs US that "the whole country
seems DESTROYS to quit the old system,
and that 200 respectable families in.
Cincinnati have united to begin the
new system Immediately"
Mr.. Owen will now have an oppor-
tunity of testing the utility of his "new
SYSTEM" and the public will be able to
Judge whether the plan of bringing men
into communities as he proposes, pos
sesses superior advantage to that which
has hitherto been adopted. Every
friend Of humanity is interested in the
experiment now making by Mr.. Owen,
and cannot but wish success TO his dis
interested and praiseworthy exertions.

held in December, l was frequently at

satisfied the the Indians that he did not
intend selling their land, appeared to
gain their confidence; and was appoint

missione rs. A few days before the
treaty ended daughter of the Gene

us that the Indians were going to kill
her father, and in consequence ofwhicll
he went off in the night. Wishing to
know the truth, l enquired of white
man who was raised in the nation, q
friend of the Generals, who Informed
me that there were five hundred Indians
that night to kill him for offering 10
sell their land. Since l have been a.

friendly to the white people, neither do

was the cause of the death OF those
that were killed, nor do believe that

The purport OF this deposition to show ,la
this Spaniard had been received board th
Franklin in the harbour Of Callao, under the sancl
ton OF Mrs. Stewart. He had been intr oduced ,o|
her protection by some friends at Callao; and she
had suffered him to be brought on board, and con-
tinued there, without the knowledge or consent Of
Captain Stewart, because she considered him to be
an officer OF the patriotic army, and that he would
certainly be sentenced to death, and as certainly
executed, if she withheld her consent She could
not see human being in this dangerous situation
without taking some measures TO rescue him. She
had, therefore, consented to his being brought on
board, and employed by the Steward, until the
Franklin arrived at some place of security. II ap-
Peared that the man came from another vessel on
board the Franklin, and remained there until she

SIR Your letter of the 25th of June addressed
to MAJOR Vandeventer, has been received. The
answer to which, has been intentionally delayed till
the result OF Gen. Gaines interview with the In
Jians at Broken Arrow should be received as the
President had anxiousIy hoped in the acquiescence
OF the Indians to the treaty, TO have found the
sity OF replying to your enquiries entirely obviated
But as the communications from General Gaines
lately recsved have entirely destroyed that hope
reply has become necessary. The Indians TO the
number of 1890 including large majority of their
Chiefs and head men of the tribe, have denounced
the treaty. as tainted alike with intrigue and rea-
cherry, and the act of very small portion OF the
tribe, against the express determination Of very
large majority, determination known to the Com
missioners. They urge that to enforce a compli-
ance with instrument thus obtained would illy
become either the justice the magnanimity Of the
United States under which they claim 10 take shell

TO THE PUBLIC,

1t will be recollec,ed, that at the commcnc enent
of the investigation against me, ofthe charges pre-
| ferred by his Excellcncy Gov. Troup, l assured
| my friends and the public, that it would result in
| the establishment OF my entire innocence. The
examination has now closed. and the opinion OF
the Special Agent, Maj. Andrews, contained in his
letter TO Inc OF the LIST August, inst is given the
public; by which it will be perceived, my srss-
pension is withdrawn, and my innocence establish
ed. This opinion of my innocence is subject to
revisa by the Supreme Executive authority of the
Union before that Interior decision, it would be
obviously improper to publish my defence or
summary of the evidence, upon which it is found
ed but after it is officially announced, that impro-
prety will no longer exist, then hope 10 be able
to do so--whereby trust | shall succeed in reno
wing every doubt from the minds of the most scep-
lical, and silence every scrure of the most casuis
teal portion OF the community. The public will
then be able TO form just Judgment between my
accuser and myself. Until that period arrives, he
continue the course he has pursued throughout
the investigation, in publishing what he pleases,
whether in the shape of evidence collected enpdrte
or in the shape OF reports OF Commissioners, siace
feel confident, that such publications will he

TOO much confidence in the justice OF my country
