THE STEAMERS.

Our readers are aware that we last spring d.
! rcctcd public attention to the fact that the
| spread of the small pox in Marlborough at that
time and all the deaths uhicb ii caused were to
be ascribcd solely to the steam doctors. Having
not tho least knowledge (as all intelligent men
acquainted with them know Of the organs
which compose the human framc-or tho struc-
turc Of these organs-or the diseases to which
they arc liable-or the symptoms by which these
diseases are ascertained to exist, and by which
they are distingushcd-o of the remedies appro

then when called to case Of small pox, mistak-
ing it for measles, they permitted visitors to fire.
auent the sick room, till the disease became in
fectious and many took it, several of whom
died. Now during the whole time that tho dis
case is infectious and for some time before it be-
comes so, the symptoms are so distinctly marked
and they arc particularly SO very different from
those of measles that, as we remarked on for
mer occasion, any negro not an idiot, might be
taught in less than an hour by person of COM
pctcnt knowledge to distinguish the one from
the other.
\. the blundc,s of the steamers no one, We
suppose, was surprized. Similar blunders they
must, from the very nature Of the case, be con-
tinualy making. But every disease has not,
like small pox, property by which it proclaims
to the world their blunders. In ordinary cases
ifthey mistake tho disease, or tho organ on
which it falls or the remedy which is called for,
and, in consequence of the mistake kill their
patient, there is no one present who can detect
the error, and the death is ascribed only 10 the
violence Of the disease.
After a struggle Of moro than two months
from the time when we first called attention to
this subject, three of the steamers, Messrs James
L. Terry, Elias Sinclair and Robest!J. Steele.

INDIAN WAR.
The mail has commenced running from

The mail has commenced running from
Columbus to Montgomery, Ala.
From the Columbus Enquirer ofthe l4th.
We learn that the regiments Of the Geor-
gia militia have been dismissed, and have
returned home. From the same paper we
also learn that party Of the Alabama Tor
ces had had an engagement with con-
siderable body of Indians on Cowasee
creek. The whites numbered forty, num-
Der of Indians not known. Twenty five
hundred or more in all Of the Indians have
started for Arkansas.
The same paper contains an extract
from letter giving an account OF the en-
gagemcnt of Col. Beal with the Indians
in the Chickasawhatchie swamp. After
marching four miles in mud and water
from knee to waist deep, they saw the In
dian tents IL, a distance on dry land, and
soon after shot an Indian whom they saw.
The Indians rallied and fought about 20
minutes, when they we're charged upon
and routed, after having been disconcer-
tod bv the death of the chief who led them.
They left 3 of their dead "besides an III
credible quantity OF beef, bacon, horses
&c. The number of Indians is supposed
to have been abou, 800; that Of the whites
was 275.

"About six acres OF raw moss were

sods eighteen inches in breadth and nne
inches in thickness being cut from the inr-

The invention is deemed at present too
complex and costly for common agricultu-
raj purposes, and Mr.. II. himself thinks it
would not be proper to employ it in re-
claiming smaller portion of bog than
1900 or 2OO0 acres, though il may proba-

Texas AND MExico.--Mr. P. Hpyt, in
conformity with previous notice, brought
forward his motion Cor inquiry into the
affairs Of Texas and Mexico. He said it
was not q war for independence but for
slavery. and asked ''if the United States
were suffered to wrest Texas from Mexico
Cuba would come next" The debate,
no Hever, Is Of SO much Importance that
we extract the whole Of it.

900 dollars in III exico. 1.-THE United States

not for independence but for slavery; aud
he would contend that should the revolt in
Texas be successful, that province would
be bound by the treaty, Mexico entered
into with tins country when Texas formed
part of the Mexican domnions. to prevent
the carrying on Of the slave trade within
its territory; the number of States in the
Union had originally been -; they were
now increased 10 &c, and if Texas were
added to the Union there could be no doubt
the basis Of the connection would be to
establish slavery and the slave trade per
maacntly in that province. He begged
to ask the Noble Lord opposite Lord Palm
erston, if within the the last ten DAYS he
tad not received an application from the
Mexican Government for The good offices
Of this country TO demonstrate vita the
United States against the gross violation
of treaties, and the aggresslons Of thelr
Southern states. The honorable member
read extracts from speeches Of Mr. Huskis-
son and Mr.. John @. Adams, to show the
| Importance to America 10 a commercial
point of view, OF annexlng Texas to its
territory.
1t is now for this house to consider
whether, after the enormous sums expen-
ded IN abollshlng and putting down slavery

ture useless, and to allow slavery to take
deep root IN situations with respect Ia

INGRATITUDE.--We are mortified at the
result Of the Congressional Election in the
second District. Dor friend Barber is &c
tually blown sky high. 1t will be rccol
lected that he grounded his claim to an
election on the fact Of his sacrifices Of time
and money in the service Of the party, and
urged, that inasmuch as he had been in.
strumen'al in building mp q party, he Of
course had right to use The party to build
himself up. We have been waiting the
result with some interest; for, although
we never aspired to a seat in Congress,
yet we could not help recoocling that we
too had 'done the state some service" and
ii Mr. Batber's claim, were finally sustain
ed, it was not impossible that the minister
TO Spain might have had new competitor
at the next election. But we now give il
up, ard wish it distinctly understood that
we shall not be a candidate. Republic,
are unsrate(ul, and Editors must wait
more pIoplious state of things. Barbe

sands, nnd Slade ia elected by | 500 INA
jority over both his competitors.
