Hliaois.-The election ofmembers of congress
for this state has resulted in the success of the re-
publican ticket Such at all events would seem
to be the case, if the following paragraph is an
indication:
From the Chicago, Qllinois) American, a Har-
rison print.
awe HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND
WE ARE THEIRS"
1t is really "melancholly TRUTH" that though
to "certan extent difficulties did exist in the
former calm and tranquil ranks of the democratic
body" the opposition have been sorely discomft-
ed !! Peter Pruyne lit is SO decreed) is to misre-
present us in the senate; and for the names of his
political conductors in the Legislative assemblies of
the state, see the published returns of the election
We are beaten. The causes that we could assign
of our defeat, are various and conclusive. In the
first place, the most prominent and obvious reason
that we can offer TO the calm consideration of our
readers, is that which of all others is generally
least noticed or complained of-viz: the want Of
a sufficient number of legal voters, whereby we
could not obtain the majority, and were conse-
quently defeated.
From the Chicago Democrat, we learn that Mr..
Nays majority, the democratic candidate, is
1000 in Chicago district. This result, will most
assuredly be published by the wing papers, as an
indication of the rising prosperity of Gen. Har-
rison Detroit Free Press.

EIRE FIRE.! FIRE!!!-The

u Kalamazoo MutualInsurance Company in
corporated in 1884, is prepared to execute policies
for any amount, for the purpose of insurance a.
gainst fire. To that part of the community who
have never witnessed the result of the mutual in
surance system, II may be necessary to say, that
wherever il has been adopted, it has invariably
succeeded beyond the sanguine anticipations of
its friends. When il is considered that the in
stituton is, in effect, but voluntary association
Of individuals, pledged to bear each others losses
in just and equitable proportions-that no CON-
bination OF wealth or money-making scheme can
possibly influence its operations divert it from
its legitimate and proper course, prudent and
common foresight will prompt to an immediate
connection with it.
That facilities for becoming members of the
association may be within the reach of every per-
son, agents are will be appointed i'm all the
principal towns and villages in the state, to
whom application may be made whenever in
surance is required. A prompt and ready atten-
ton to duty, on the part of agents, will uniform
ly be expected, as upon this alone depends in a
great degree the prosperity and success of the
company. They are also desired to spread sue
useful and correct information relative to the
nature, prospects and operations of the institu-
ton as will promote its interests and give the
public mind full and correct understanding on
the subject.

NEw-ORLEANs. July 10,

By the schr. Julius Cesar, which arrived yes
terday from Texas, we have information that rem
ders it very doubtful whether the Mexican army
will really prosecute further operations for the
present at least against Texas.
: From Texian spies sent for the purpose of re-
connoitering the enemy, it is ascertained that the
Mexican army has not advanced, and that its
numbers are continually diminishing by deser-
ton.
The Texans are in fine spirits" and have no
lack of arms, ammunition and provision, and
with force sufficient to repulse the invaders with
great slaughter. Santa Anna had solicited by
letter the amicable nterposition of Gen. Jackson,
and had conveyed to the Mexican Government
his opinion, that the conquest of Texas was i'm
possible, and that the independence of Texas
should be recognized.
The schr. Brutus, Capt. Hurd, was at Matagor-
da, blockaded by the Mexican brig of war Venice.
dor del Alamo, but would soon be relieved by the
schr. Invincible Union and other vessels that
had proceeded there in tow of the steamboat o.
cean, for the purpose of capturing the brig. The
steamboat was laden with volunteers, and for her
protection there was raised breastwork of cot.
ton bales.
The Mexican brig will, in all probability fall
a capture to the Texans.
1t seems that the Vencedor has been despatched
from Vera Cruz, in order to protect the schoone
Cumaches, Fanny Butler and Waterman, which
were stored with provisions for the Mexicans
Finding that the Texans had already intercepted
the said vessels and appropriated their cargoes to
their own use he very wisely proceeded to take, il
possible, what Texian vessels might fall in heI
way. 1t may not, however prove ajudicious step
From all the information received and which
we believe to be substantially correct, we are firm
ly of the opinion that the Mexicans will suspend
active hostilities against the Texans for the sum
mer, and we shall not prove very bad prophets il
it should not turn out, that their troops will be en-
tirely withdrawn from the limits Of Texas and the
independence of this Republic fully secured.

A NEW WAR!!!

A NEW WARE!
We regret to announce to our fellow citizens,
that the Creek Indians have renewed the war.
On Sunday last, party of the hostiles crossed
the Chattahooche, and attacked our troops at Fort
M'Crary, and repulsed them, with the loss Of
several killed and wounded.
We are without particulars, but rumour estim-
ates our loss in killed from five to nine.
The following extract of letter from friend
in Columbus of the Goth inst. leaves doubt that
there yet is n,nnh a~a hard fighting tv bc done.
"News has Just reached US, that n small party
of Indians came over to the Georgia side, ON yes
terday, few miles above Roanoke, and attacked
a small body of our men stationed there, and rout-
ed them. Five white men are said to be killed,
and several wounded.
II have not had the particulars. think you
may rest assured, public opinion to the contrary
notwithstanding, that the war is not yet closed"
We learn that General Sanford has taken the
most vigorous to reinforce our troops in the
neighborhood of Roanoke and Fort M'Crary, and
for acting efficiently against the Indians. He is
going in person with all his disposable force in
pursuit of the enemy.
Where is Gen. Jesup? and how does it happen
that he has closed the war, and disbanded the
army, while the country is full of hostile savages2
Augusta, July 29.--We learn by gentleman
arrived from Columbus on Wednesday evening,
that battle was fought in Stewart county, near
Fort MCrary, about twenty-eight miles below
Columbus, between party Of about $50 hostile
Greeks, and parts of two companies of Georgia
troops, in all about 80 men--in which the latssr
were defeated, it is stated, with five killed. On
tho part of the Indians seven were found dead,
and it is supposed about 30 were killed in all. As
soon as the news reached General Sanford, he i'm
mediately despatched six companies, himself at the
head, with the determination of clearing them out
Of the country before he returned.
The gentleman from whom we gain this infor.
nation also states that there is not the least dan
ger to be apprehendcd by those travelling through
the nation by the stage route--as at every stand
there 10 strong military force, and guards accom-
pany the stage from one post to another.

uA very candid writer in tho Tecumseh
Democrat. ON the admission question, remarks,
ITO take up arms against the United States,
and forcibly occcpy the country, may sound well
in history, and suit the gallantry Of warriors,
whose love of danger is only surpassed by their
love--to stay at home and guard the women and
children, when peril is truly apprehended. Our
Bobadils may buster and talk; the genuine he
roes Of Michigan will take different course to
regain her rights. 1t is one of peace, not ofwar ;
1T II one of law, not reasonable; it is ono that
win more surely produce the restoration of juris-
diction, if the mmutable laws of the land entitle
US to it; and that is, by complying with the re-
QUESTIONS of congress, and placing ourselves in
that sovereign relation to sister states that will
entitle us to enter the supreme court, and demand
our rights under the solemn compact of 1887"

numerous patrons must have sisters, daughters,
wives, who read I'VE ask their pardon, we say,
for not having published-why yes, we have pub
lished poetry--some very nice, too, written with
delicate fingers but for any delinquency, it is

blame for it, as those who oficiate in such mat
tiers have never communicated the desired infor-
nation, during all the seven weeks we have print

out any remuneration, other than the consolation
of having given pleasure to the parties concern
ed, and great many fair readers beside, to whom
our columns have hitherto in this particular been
void of interest yet, for the defalcation, small
as it may seem in the eyes Of some of the grouty,
who have regard to the taste Of the better half
of creation, we ask forgiveness-for never hav-
ing, in all this time that fifty might have been

good intentions should claim some little allow

nising search through our sheet, week after week,
turning it inside out, and hen the anxious look,
at the bottom, top and through all the columns I;
and the disappointment, with the long drawn sigh
following-we ask pardon--but all proof of sim
cerity is in reform. and there being none domes-
tic, that we know of and having no assurance
to warrant us in promise of any for the future,
we avail ourselves Of our exchange papers, from
