Gaines as not consistent with the reIa

illness he recovered, yet his head got
a twist, and was compelled 10 wear it

mankind was directed elsewhere, they
have suddenly assumed most pro nj.

world learned their existence and
their greatness at almost the same
time.

just been related 10 US. Let the reader
Judge. A white man, whose name we
withhold for the present, arrived here a
few days ago in u small craft from Rich
mond, having with him negro man and
two small boys He offered the boys for
sale toseveral persons, but the price, S7O0
being thought TOO high, he lowered it to
S450 which induced suspicion that he
had not come honestly by them; but TO
this suspicion was opposed the ready dec
laration Of the negro man, that Mr.
had bought him and the two boys, who
we're his children, in Petersburg. Still,
however, it was thought proper to investi
gate the matter, g. the white man with the
negroes were taken to the Mayors office,
when the truth came out that the negro
was free man, belonging to Petersburg}
that the boys, also Tree, we're his Owa chill

pact with the white monster to carry the
children abroad and sell them and divide

were deemed amply sufficient tOt The pro
lection of The frontier near 10 The Indians

forth in the requisition which the General
has since made upon you, 10 justify the
belief that The force above enumerated will
he Insufficient, and cannot therefore

ton that rrqulsitIon for the reasons which
accompany it, would warrant the belief
that it was done to aid Texas, and not
from desire TO prevent an Infringement
OF our territorial or national rights,
| deeply regret that the Tennessee Vol
unteers, whose prowess aud patriotism
are displayed SO promptly on all occasions
that lhret ten the peace or safety of their
beloved country, have been called out on
this occasion without proper consldera-
tIon. They can for the present only be
mustered into the service and discharged.
If there are funds appropriated out Of
which they can be paid, an order to this
effect will be given.
The ten thousand volunteers authorI,
zed under the late act of Cong ress are in.
tended for one years service, and must
be employed to meet all necessary calls
for the defence Of our frontier borders.
Should the occasion arise for a greater
number on the Western frontier, the call
would be made on OHIO, Kentucky, Indi
ana and Illinois. There is, however, no
informant to justify the dpprehensiol
CT hostIlities, to any serious extent, from
The Western Indiana. Should a necessi
ty arise, the volunteer Brigade from Elst
Tennesse will be ordered to the Western
frontier as soon as their service can he
dispensed with where they now are EN-
ployed.
would barely add further, that the au
thority given you by the order of the 4th
OF May having been satisfied by yielding
to the requisilion of Gen. Games, a new
authority from the Department of War
was necessary to authorize you to comply
with that of the 2Slh of June. The Gov
ernment Of the United States having adop,
ed, in regard to Mexico and Texas, the
same rule Of neutrality which had been
observed ia all similar cases before, it was
not to have been expected that General
Gaines should have based this requisIlion
for additional military force on reasons
plainly inconsistent with the obligation oil
that rule.
Should Mexico insult our national flag
or invade our territory, or interrupt oul
citizens in the lawful pursuits guaranteed
TO them by the treaty, then the Govern
ment will promptly repel tue insult, aud
take speedy reparation for the injury
But II does not seem that offences OF this
character have been committed by Mexico
or we're believed 10 have been, by General
Gaines.
