At the feet Of the obdurate creditor, to whom tie
painted the distress Of the fsnily in the most pa

greatest agony of mind, lie said, " Sire, since vou

SANTA FEE.

We are apprehensve that The specula-
ZION on this trade is running too high !;
the number of adyenturers and large
amount of merchandise that have gone
out this season must lessen the profits,
which we are induced to believe have
never at any time been fair compensa-
lion for the time, expense, and rlsque
attendant on the trip, But the trade has
at length attracted the notice OF the Next
can Government; we learn that duty
Of twenty five per cent is collected by
the authorities at Santa Fe. This duty
might be paid and corresponding price
laid upon the merchandise, il this were
the only route by which the market
could be suppled-bul we apprehend
that whenever our Santa Fe traders are
compelled to pay the same duty, they
will be unable to sell for profit a, the
same price with the wealthy merchants
who will supply the Province by way of
The Gull aud the Mexican capitol.
Ii we are right in this opinion The only
prof, to be derived from this trade will
arise from the barter OF merchandise for
mules, which are abundant and cheap in
that country, but cannot be brought in
safety 10 this, until The protection Of the
Indians upon The route is secured; who
Their that will be Obtained by the. COM
missioncrs appointed for that purpose

FRANKLIN, (Mo.) MAY IA.

We have again The painful duty of re-
cordDg additional murders and robbie
ries Of our fellow citizens trading in the
Mexican dominions. We have been ia
veted with the perusal of letter from
Mr.. William Christian zone OF the CON-
pany which lie It this place las, spring for
Santa Fe) to a gentleman of this town,
dated Alexandria, Louisiana, March 80,
which states, that he left the vicinity of
Santa Re on the LIST OF Novemb Der, taking
the route by the Precetynorth, that being
the nearest. When he had arri, cd with
in twelve miles of the Precetyporth he
was met by five Spaniards a, full speed,
who related 10 him that a company of
Americans had been defeated at that
place, one of them killed and one wound
cd, and one Spanjard killed and FIVE
wounded, by the Camanche Indians. Al
ter receiving this Information, he changed
his course, and went into the town OF the
prece, ynerth, where he ascertained tina,
Cap. Glenn Owen, "a highly respectable
q zen OF this county, was killed, and
Thomas Dudley, Of Boon county, dan
gerously wounded, and one hundred and
seventy mules and horses tax en- from the
party by the indians. MIR. G. finding it
impossible to travel that route, proceed
ed by the way Of Durango, and after a
long and fatiguing journey of nearly FIVE
months, arrived a, Alexandria. He was
TO leave that place in a short time for
Frank lin; and upon his arrival, we shall
lay before our readers such additional
particulars as he may possess.
BY this unfortunate event, society is
deprived of one of its mos, valuable mem
bers, and an amiable family of the bes, of
men.
Experience has now tested the neces.
sity OF proceeding in large bodies Ia and
from The New Mexican provinces. Those
cowardly wretches viii never attack a
large party. So long as snail compa-
MES continoe to travel from that country,
we shall be constantly panied by the re-
cital Of similar horrible ou.rages. Intel.
A company Of about eighty persons
lief, this place during the last week, for
Santa Fe, with merchandise, for The pur.
pose OF trading with the inhabitants OF the
internal provinces Of Mexico. A consi.
derable number OF wagons and other We
hicles we're taken by them. This party is
composed principally of residents OF this
town and vicinity, although anumter are
from St. Louis and other par,s of the
state, and several from Kentucky.
The determined perseverance with
which our citizens pursue this trade,
amidst every encouragement, is worthy
OF admiration, and we sincerely hope they
may meet with the most ample success.
No danger, we think, need be apprehend-
cd on the present occasion from the In
dians; as, from a knowledge of the cha
racter Of those composing the company,
for prudence and bravery. any attack
would be repealed, and the assaiant
have cause to repent their tcmerily. H..
