 TIE WAR.--The arrival of the Will liam Wallace at this port, from Gale na, confirms the report, to which we al luded last week, of an engagement be- tween party of Sioux indians and the hostile band of Sacs and Foxes. The victory over the latter was most deci- siye one: two hundred of them being killed, and forty taken prisoners. On ly about TO warriors escaped. Among the prisoners, is Na-o-popc, the second incommand in allthe enterprisesagainst the Whites, and the celebrated Prophet. Black Hawk, it is said by the prisoners, was wounded by shot from the steam boat Warrior, in the action at the eros sing of the Mississippi, and died three days afterwards.
 Many conflicting accounts are given ofthe engagement. It appears that the Sioux were not alone concerned in the combat; utthat they were assisted bs parties of the Menominees and Winne bagoes. The latter tribe, it is said coul.selled the hostile Indians to hols

The N. Y. Daily Advertiser contains extracts. which we snhioin, from the Vera Cruz Censor to the 10th of July. It will be remembered that they contain ex-parte specalations. We have no idea that any intention to assassinatc santa Anna existed, unless in the mind of some individual who has d private pique against him.
 It appears that Gen. Santa Anna's departure from that city, to attend the Convention at Jalapa, met the most general and decided opposition. of his friends, who apprehended danger from Ills violent and desperate enemies, the government party. A public meeting was held, in which his remaining in Vera Cruz waspowerfully urged; but, although he was prevailed upon 10 de- lay his departure for some hours, he per severed in his resolution of appearing in person al the assembly, and had set out for Jalapa. The papers plainly inti- mate an apprehension that his enemies might assassinate him after getting him - titett J1N
 RACRUz, July 9.-Yesterdav, at ) clock in the evening. his Exeellen- ey the General-n-C Chief, Santa Anna) left this place for the National Bridge. where Messrs. Oamacho and Victoria are to arrive this day, to hold the in. tervlew proposed in the Convention held al Corral falso On the 18th ut. May It please Heaven that the present con. test may terminate happily, without the etlusiea of bIeod--a result which we consider very remote, as the usurp- CT, far from giving evidence of wishing It's conclusion, gives orders for it's sup port by giving the command to the fool lsh Fac;o, which is as much as to say. continue the horrors of war, as this criminal man will of course refuse 10 submit his conduct to the decision of justice, as ne knows this is one of the objects demanded.
 The chiefs and officers of Vera Cruz and the Castle of Ulna, in meeting held on the 9th, passed an act, which IS signed first by Santa Anna, on the permanent establishment of peacein the Republic. They demanded the obser- vance ofthe protest of the 2d of Janu- aFy last, that the person now occupy ing the Executive, be separated from #, and that the legitimate President take possession of it, in conformity with the 97th and 98th articles of the 1 Constitution.

When party has ragged at it's helghth, there have been found some few nnprinciped editors who, lost 10 eyery feeling of moral rectitude, and with a view to serve their party, have falsely an- nounccd the death of a leading political opponent. Such game was played off on Gen. Jackson. But if remained for Will liam E.

The fact to winch have reference is the anDnncia- ton oi the death of John Redmon. Esq. as having taken place on Thursday morn ing, when the truth is that it did not take place until two days after.

GOOD NEWS LITTLE BILLY IS
 STILL ALIVE.

1t becomes our pleasant duty to an znounce to the public, that the editor of ahe Gazette has, as it were, miraculously recovered from most violent attack of an offensive disease, net classed among the diseases of medical writers, but which may be appropriately called the Billings kgate fever.
 Ii is the nature of this disease, to pro- S5uoe in the patient an accumulation of syulrarisms and filthy language, which must find utterance, or the patient is in dancer of instant death from excessive ex- eitement. With this direfu disease was Billy attacked on-the 29th ut. Immedi- ately after reading the Advocate of that day. his whole system was occupied with filthy ideas, which crowded so rapidly from his braln to his stomach, as to threat en him with instant destruction. The great expansibility of his stomach alone preserved him. According to the theory ] aof the learned gentleman who has lately 5 enlightened the public mind by his history zof the diseases of Arkansas, this undue ex- citement of the stomach produced general disorder of all the organs of the system.- The organs of hearing, seeing, smelling and tasting, became saturated with filth, and the organ of touch could grasp nothing clean.
 L. t.I o,. 1T = t;,,o. I ,,1,r ,,, o | .i.t :, #dorangcd, as did also the spleen and pan creas the action of the kidneys was re- abundant the heart was very much en- #larged and hardened, and the lungs expe- |ricnced so great an expansion as 10 endan- ger suffoeation.
 Inthis desperate situation did the poor .feltoto continue until Friday evening, when he received little reliefby the dis gorgement ofthe first piece which appear ed in the Gazette of the 9th inst.
 Whether tlis and the subsequent dis zcharges were effected by s' Samson pills" or by '' Boneset," or whether he drench- cd himself with all infusion of sheep saf- iron or nanny berries, is tous not known.
 On Saturday, second disagreement took place, which afforded still greater relief, being more abundant than the first.
 On Sunday, he bespatered '' Citizen of Batesyille.. This discharge was so abundant, that serious apprehensions ex-. isted for some time lest lie should fall into state of collapse ia vigorous constitu- tion, however, upheld him.
 On Monday, he discharged his fourth and fifth pieces. Underh his fifth discharge, the system sunk so rapidly, that he began to think of priests. No doubt his soul damning sin stared him in the face, and lie fam would have obtained dissolution therefrom.
 Billy's yarn, however, is not yet spun and notw;t!:s: anding the violence of the disease and the filthiness of the discharges, he has rapidly recovered his health. Ehe Knowing ones are of opinion, that the dis gorgement of so much Billingsgate from his polluted mind, will prove as beneficial to himself, as il is harmless to those against whom 1t Is issued.

A QUAKER JUMPING A DITCH.

gs A QUAKER JUMPING A DITCH.
 Hezek;ah Broadbrim was fat quaker, in the state of New Jersey, who sold molass-- es. codfish, coffee, china and earthen ware, cloths, and all sorts of liquors. We Ike the Quakers very much, who are Quakers
 in deed as well as name; but Hezek'ah
 was a Hickory Quaker. He was somc-
 what of an old bachelor and had a sister
 who was somewhat of an old maid. But she was the best creature alive straight as candle, blooming as arose, and smil- ing as charity. Her name was Dorcas.
 HezekiaIl and Dorcas walked out one
 Sunday afternoon, in the blooming month of May. to breathe the fresh air and view
 the meadows. The walking was smooth and delightful, with no manner of obstruc- lions except here and there ditch tull of water: spanned by few bridges ; and too vide for any man of ordinary jumping ca- pacity to jump at a single bound. bsl Hezekiah valued himself as fat people commonly do, on his agility and instead 1 of walking few additional rods for the sake of a bridge, must needs leap every
 ditch he came to. [ sThee'd better not try that, Hezekiah.
