! INTERNATIONAL RENCONTRE.
! The Portland Advertiser publishes I'D ex.
tract from letter from Ohio, describing
a singular rencontre between Gen. Boyu,oo
of Ohio and the Hotspur Governor of Michi.
gan. The writer was witness ofthe scene
which took place at Detroit. II appears
that conversation arose relative 10 the
boundary line and the admission of Mich.
gan within the Union. Offended at some
remarks that Gen. B. inadvertently drop.
ped while dining at the American Hotel,
Mason seized the carving knife and made
an attempt 10 heart him, Gen. B. saw his
movement in time to ward off the blow,
wrenched the knife from him-threw him
10 the floor, pun his foot on him and tore
his coat 10 pleces-then threw him into
the street, seized loaded horsewhip and
gave him severe fagelaiion, which the
writer remarks, "soon cooled his ire."
Governor Mason must have had a lesson,
which will teach him TO be careful in future
how be attempts TO enforce his arguments
by means of the carving.inife. If his con-
duct was as represented, he has shown him.

The Arkansas advocate., 1836-06-03
From the Arkansas Gazette,

Washington City, .aprii 2e, 1886.
 slR-The general appropriation bills are getting out of the way, and when that Is doneS hope we shall get along with our State Government bill.
 Beside providing for salaries of federal officers, and for pay of legislature, if We should ever need another under the Terri torlal government, the appropriation bill contains clause approprriating twenty-l five thousand dollars for the public surveys in Arkansas, for the next year; and in bill which passed on yesterday, have an ad- ditional thousand dollars added for clerk hire. This addition is no longer tempora1 ", but permanent.
 Last week, Col. Johnson called up his bills for the better protection of our western frontiers. One of these bills was discss- ed for two days, was carried through the committee, and is now before the House. hope we shall get at them again ii day or two. These ate the only movements in Congfess interesting to Afkansas since last wrote you.
The Arkansas advocate., 1836-06-03


 He Is about five feet nine inches high, built tor activity--has high forehead but not ve- " broad--his nose is long, strait and well iormed-hs eyes q brilliant black. He has large, long black .wiiiskers, sun-burnt at the ends, and red, sandy mustachoes. His com plexion is sun-burnt, and he wears little gold rings in lis ears. He is cousin to santa Ana.
 The third parsonage, Colonel Almonte, is the reputed natural son of spanish priest, by afull-blooded Mexican woman. He has a good conntenance--was educated in Europe, and speaks English well, and Is regarded as man of superior talents.
 But all these .Hexcans appear but as or dsnaIFsy lsnaaIs men in personal appearance, when compared with General Houston himself, who possesses manly and noble counten. ance, rarely surpassed among men. But he now appears pale and sickly in consequence of wound which he received in the battle, which shattered his leg above the ancle. There was IA other Texians wounded and kllled--among the latter son of .uaior Brigham of Brazoria, one of the most promis- ing youths of Texas.
