The Van Buren men in Tennessee, some time since, established the General ticket system, in order to secure the strength of the State undivided to themselves. It will now do the same for Judge White, and they are anxious, to a man, to change the system but the White men won't let them. This is making the Doctor swallow his own physic.

IeTdS.-in addition to what we published last week, we hare received letter from Jonesborough, Miller county, which states that private intelligence had been received at that place, worthy to be depended on, by which it appeared that sic hundred Ameri- cans and fourteen hundred Mexicans were KILLED, in storming San Antonio. Cos has capitutated, and marched for Mexico with his remaining troops. The intelligence of Me- jas defeat in his attack on Tampico is cor rect. Our readers will see by the extract be- low, that several of the prisoners were shot. The expedition was an HI advised one, and the result such as might have been expected. However much we may lament the death of our countrymen, we can neither (as some ed itors have done, call the execution, murder, nor invoke our Government to avenge their death. They invaded country with which we were friendly, and put themselves out of the pale of our Governments protection. An embargo has been laid by the Mexican Gov ernment-and a remonstrance sent to Wash ington against the levying of volunteers.
 Suppose we have war with France-sup- pose Mexico declares war against US France subsidies Mexico, and lands an ar- my of TO or 80.0o0 men. who march upon Louisiana and Arkansas. What would be our situation! Such an event is by no means imnrobahlp

HARRISON bids fair to give Van Buren some trouble. His name takes like wldfre.- Here are but two objections to him. One is that he IS poor-a great reason in these days, when public men all manage to get rich-and the other is, that he is Clerk of Court-as Monroe was justice of the Peace after he left the Presidential Chair.

On the subject of the Embargo, it is stated that although the ports of Tampieo and Vera Cruz were closed for a few days, 1t was for especial reasons and by the arbitary or ders of individuals who acted without au- thority. The ports of Mexico, are now open, t is said, for our trade.

A GREAT LAND CLAIM.-Ehe de-
scendants of Jonathan Carver, many Of
whom reside in DeerGeld & Montague,
in the state Of Massachusetts, have re-
Gently laid claim to an immense tract
Of land in the vicinity Of st. Anthony,
on the Mississippi, and of Lake Pepin,
said to have been sold to Mr.. c. in l767,
by two Indian chiefs, Ottahtongoom-
lisheeah, ofthe Naudowessy tribe, and
Honahpawjatin, ofthe Chippewa tribe.
Mr.. c. went to England soon after the
purchase Of the tract, and obtained a
confirmation of his title from the Brit
ish government. In 1924, the descen-
dants of the above named chiefs, ac-
knowledged the title to the tract to be
in the heirs of Mr.. C. The acknowl-
edgement was made before William p.
Van Vess, judge Of the district court
Of N. Y. state. a copy OF which is in
the archives of congress, in the war de-
partment.
The descendants willsecure to them
selves princely fortunes, should they
succeed in establishing the validity of
their title. The tract is large enough
for an independent state, and lies near
one Of the greatest mining. districts in
the world, and is supposed to contain
inexhaus.ible mineral treasures. "A
considerable portion of it is settled, and
the whole Of it is very fertile, and is
watercd by many noble streams.

HIGHLAND ANECDoTE.

In ages past, the MsLeaus of Loeb
Buy, were absolute monarchs Of the
south side Of Null; and in those days
hunting deer was their amusement and
support.
Loch- Buy commanded agreat chase,
and gave strict charge to an attendant
named Gore Godfrey not to snffer a
stag to escape through certain pass (;
and at the same time declared, if such
a thing did happen, Gore should for
felt his life.
Gore took his station; bull notwitf-
standing all his caution, some deer forced
the pass and made their escape.
Gore did not forfeit his life !; but he
was ANONYMOUSLY chas,ised, in the
presence of the chieftain and his assc,n-
blcd clan, on the summit OF the peak.
The proud highland blood Of Gore
boiled at the indignity he had sustained
in the face of his chief and clan. Death
in his opinion. would have been more
honorable, but the sting Of disgrace was
more than he could bear.
Youngand old were assembled to see
the chase and poor Cores shameful
chastisement. Amongst the rest there
was a nurse with the infant son of
the. chief, in her arms. Gore, watch
ed his opportunity Loeb
Buys child from the arms of his nurse,
& with him inhis hand escaped amongst
the rocks Of the peak, to ashelf fer be-
low the astonished spectators. Gore
came safely upon his feet, with the
babe in his hand, and then held his
victim intriumph. Rewards and honors
were offered; tears aud entreatles were
poured forth by the distracted parents
to Gore, to save and restore their only
son. At length he seemed to relent,
and declared, If Loeb Buy were brought
within his sight, chastised in the same
ignominious manner that he had been
he should be satisfied.
The parent for the sake Of the child,
readily submitted to be treated precise
y as Gore had been, and then required
the restoration Of his son. Gore, with
a smile Of triumph and contempt, rails
ed the childi in his hand at arms ledgth,
and with shout, threw himself over
the peak. Both Gore and the child
were dashed to pieces long before they
reached the sea. 81

CURE FOR THE CHoLERA.-Ihe tol-
lowing statement, if true, may be in
valuable in the treatment Of the cholc-
fa:-Two men employed in extracting
salt from the lakes in the neighborhood
Of .Salzburgh, were attacked by the dis
ease, and left by their medical attend
ant as incurable. Their bodies had be-
come completely black, when the over
seer Of the work undertook to cure
them. He heated a quantity of water
from one of the salt lakes to a very high
degree, and placed one of the dying
men in the bath, keeping up the heat.
Alter being in half an hour, the man re-
covered his senses, and expressed how
delightful were his sensations, Upon
this the other sufferer was put into 81
nilar bath. BY degrees their bodies
turned from black to purple, then to
red, and at the end of three hours they
assumed their natural color, and the
men were FREQ from the disease. It.may
be believed that the ;pprcs, being open
"a by the heat, absorbed the saline pas
sicles, which mingled with the blood,
And lique6ed it it. This corresponds
svith the known effects of salt upon CO.
agulated blood.-FOreign paper.
