offence requiring jusying impeachment ,and when
oil that was proposed to be done by the commica

those agents had executed their duties most yigoron

by appointing another vastly more expensive, and not

AlR. EDITOR:
Twas pleased to see an extract from
the Sentinel, of Newbern, N. c., copied into
the last number of your paper, on the subject
of an enterprise commenced by Capt. Taylor,
of the Texian Navy, "a native of the town al
luded to y which was to raise in the South
sufficient amount of money to purchase and tit
out Brig of War, in some northern city, for
the purpose of aiding Texas in her present
struggle for independence. To person at
all acquainted with the present weak state of
the Texian Navy, little need be said as to
the expediency ofthe undertaking under con-
sideration. Should Texas have not larger
number of armed vessels this winter, there is
good reason to apprehend that her ports will be
blockaded and supplies cut off. 1t is under
stood that the Mexicans have made and are
still making strenuous exertions to regain
their lost territory; not only by multiplying
their land forces, but by procuring consider
able fleet of armed vessels to prevent all inter-
course with Texas by sea. While thousands
of spirited Americans have rushed to the res
cue, and are now swelling the ranks of the
Texian army, but little has been done in
Naval point of view. An armed Brig, espe-
cially when commanded by an experienced
and daring seaman, would be no small acqui-
sition to the Navy Of Texas. Capt. Taylor,
when last heard from by the writer, was in
Montgomery, Ala, having already raised
about $4,000. We suppose the amount re-
quired by the enterprise will be $4,000. He
has probably by this time reached Augusta;
and intends visiting Charleston in his tour
northward. Thus affording to the citizens of
these, and other cities that he may revisit, an
opportunity of evincing their sympathy in the
suferings of an infant but dauntless nation,
endeavoring to throw offthe yoke Of an un-
principled and blood-thirsty enemy. G. H.

INDIAN WAR.

The Jacksonville Courier states that on the
18th battle was fought near Newnansvillc
between 100 mounted men under command of
Col. Warren and a party of Indians supposed
to number 300. The action lasted one hour
and hall, one hour (which time the fire was
heavy on the whole line The Indians were
finally driven into dense hammock where
they could not be advantageously pursued.
No Indians were found dead, but from the
traces of blood it is supposed many must have
been killed and wounded.
Wounded ofthe whtes.-Jeremiah Burnett,
