 In conclusion. Inc would repeat his great sat. isfactlon n having SD zealOus an ally, as the gentleman from Ohio. in the great cause of retIenchment, and if it were in order, he should be inclined to move that that gentle
 man be added to the Committee, that they
 might avail themselves still more eftectnally
 of his ardor. But. at all events, they would
 count upon him, ,wbether they hunted a mouse ! or an elephant, or even started ion from his ! lair. . -s -..s .-..
 Mr. Tdnce observed. in reply. that if any member of that Committee was about to re- sign. SD as to leave vacancy, he had no doubt he should make very good substitute.
 MT. Long observed. although opposed to the principle contained in the resolution, he would prefer meeting the question now, and was glad the gentleman from South Carolina had withdrawn his motion to lay his resolu- ton on the table. lfeconomy be the object and the resolution is to pass, he thought the
 House ought to act promptly; he was not sure but it would have been something more of a saving fO the Government, if the resolus-
 ton had been passed yesterday, inasmuch as course cf tie last evening, ,ciU not sGy, in Gn- pretty heavy drafls made On he stntiOnory:-

The Indian Wnr.-Some time since we pah-
 lished an extract from aletter written by Mai. l Dougherty, U. S. Indian Agent. giving infor-
 matiOn of the hostile designs Ofa part of the Pawnee nation of Indians. We now learn
 from Major Hamtramck. who has arrived in
 this city from his agency in the Osage nation, l that the news of the successful operations oi
 the Camanches, and Pawnee Picks, on the
 Santa Fe Road, had been spread through the l neighboring tribes, and aroused the whole to
 ,o some daring action. Runners had been passing between the Camanches. Alapaho0s,
 Pawnee Picks. and Kialnechis. for the pur- pose of spreading the excitement, maturing
 plans, and forming concentration of forces.
 ltis supposed they will watch the Santa Fe
 Road, and in the event of finding nothing on ii l our frontier may suffer. Major HamtramclG
 is of opinion, from evidence in his possession,
 that Mr. Means, of Franklin, was killed and
 his companions robbed,by the Pawnee Picks. A party of this tribe attacked the Osages. in ! October last. when he was with the latter ;---

 and reserve, the yict0rs fund great many
 horses and mules which must have belonged
 to Means party and other indications tending
 to fix the robbery upon them.
 Gens Atkinson has, we understand, receiv- led orders to afford protection to our frontiers.
