$ situated Tn Crawford county. on the Jeff H nk ot the Arkansas river, about five hundred and fifty miles from the Mississip- pl, by the course of the river, and $ few miles below the Indian boundary line. The im- mediate situation Is picturesque and pleasing to the eye, easily approachable by the roads, unusually elevated Tor a position on the mar gn of the rlyer--indeed, portion of the townsite IS high and commanding emnenee With an abundant and never-failing supply oi the most palatable and the purest water. Steam-boat navigation to this point, and for some distance above, is as safe and as sure as our liver affords; its extension to any great distance above IS preearious, uncertain and not to be relied oil.
 Van Buren has more extensive regions Of back country to support it, beyond all shadow of competition, than any other point or place on this river, or in the Territory, known to the writer. The contiguous settlements of Lees creek and Frog Bayou have here their trade. The large, populous and agricultural county of Washington, in this Territory, must resort to Van Buren us the point of em- barkation for her produce, and must seek her supply of essential articles from the same quarter; With equal truth, and with equal po- sltlyeness, may the same remarks be made ol southwestern Missouri, so rapidly advance ing Tn numbers, in means and in wants. To add another weightY item in the list of ad- vantages, the projected United States road, now Tn train of execution, from Jackson, in Lawrence county, by the county seat of Izard and Washington, crosses the Arkansas river at Van Buren.
 Iiie proprietor invites the merchant, the mechanic, the capitalist generally, and all persons of enterprise and energy of charac- ter, to make investments in this town, con- scious that they will meet with an early and adequate requtal for amount advanced or ex- ertion applied.
 The undersigned, being the sole proprietor of this town---the contract heretofore exist ing between him and the late Gen. Win, Montgomery having been rescindcd, and all disputes as to title from that and all other quarters fully adjusted and annulled--is now ready to dispose of lots, and give indisputa- bie titles.
 Gentlemen wishing to invest money, or to locate i'll a thriving new town, will dc well to examine the superior natural advantages and plats of Van Buren, where lots are oAer- ed, at private sale, on very moderate terms, and on accommodating credits--and reduc- tion in price will be made to those making immediate improvements on their purchases

Cheering from TexasgES

The Compromise arrived here yesterday, with four hundred Scmnoles of the peace party on board. By the politeness of Mir Woodruff, we are furnished with the follow ing slip, from the office of the New Orleans Commercial Bulletin, of April 24, and we stop the press to lay it before our readers.
 By Major Horton, who came passenger in the TeXIan government schooner Invincible, We learn that 1900 Mexicans had crossed the Colorado, SOC st San Felipe, and 400 at lFt Bend that Gen. Houston's effective force was 23G0. The Colorado had overnowed it's banks, and the 1900 Mcxicans cannot retreat. Houston had despatched Major Baker with 400 men against AGO AIexicans, and was ad= vaneing himself with his whole force upon the Mexican division, whose retreat to the main army was impossible.
 The total destruction ofthe 1900 Mexicans is certain; all was joy and confidence at the Seat of Government. The elements are fighting for Texas, and the universal opinion is, that the Mexican army between the Colo rado and Brazos is already defeated.
 Houston must have fought the battle last Sunday.
 DREADFUL MASSACRE!!
 We also learn that 73 unarmed emigrants that left this city, i'll the William and Fran- cis, for Codano, and were landed at that port, trusting themselves unarmed in the power of the Mexicans, were i'll two hours butchered by the soldiery, in sight of the vessel. The schooner escaped to Matagorda.
 The Pennsylvania is expected up tonight with further information The i}futus was to sail the day after the lnvincible, with wom- en and children.
 We also learn that Dr Harrison, son of Gen, Harrison, of North Bend, Ohio, was, while travelling with three American gen tlemen, taken by the Mexicans, castrated, his body cut down, and his bowels torn out and left in that situation before life was extinct. The wife of Dr Harrison came passenger in the Invincible,
 NAVAL ENGAGEMENT
 The Texian armed schooner iBvneible, Capt. Brown, fell in with the Mexican sehoo- her Montezuma, at anchor off the Brazos Santiago. An action immediately took place, with a running fight of several hours, which terminated i'll the sinking of the Montezuma before she reached the shore to which she was running. When last seen her yards were under water. She was preparing to convoy to Galveston Bay about 2000 men ; the expedition Is now destroyed. The In- vincible was some cut in her sails and rig ging, but had not man wounded. The fate of the Montezumas crew is not known.
 There was a rumor in New Orleans on the 23d that Gen GAINES was defeated by tho Mexicans and Indians. It tcannot be true.-- The date of the above slip is ono day later.

The Hon. JOHN PopE and Dr. c A. RUDD are candidates for the Stale Legisla- ture in Washington county. Neither of the two has, as yet, declared in favor of Van Buren. Our friends think it probable that Rudd will declare for Harrison iii his next speech. The course of Mir. Pope will per haps depend upon the state of his stomach or of the atmosphere at tho time.

f'ate of Revolutionary lSoldicr.-The Truth of the following statement IS vouched for by the editor of the Keesvile, Essex county, Argus. No man in his senses would venture to make such charge at ran dom. It ought to be generally known
 It IS urged by the arstocracy against Gen. Harrison's fitness for the Presidency, that he is '.poor, and obliged to do the du- ties ot county clerk for lyelihood."
 Ex-President Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, were also 'spoor," and the latter after the expiration of his presidential term, performed the duties of Justice of the Peace. Gen. Jackson though "poor'' shoe-black, managed to get into public em- ploymeni, where by speculation and sport lng he acquired fortune. Hence his un- Hlendliness to "poorn men, and bis public declaration, that 'all persons doing business on borrowed capital ought to breako Mir. Fan Burea too, though s'poor" boy, and for time was doomed to serve in the capaci- ty ot an ostler, yet through the benefcence oi wealthy member of the bar {whom he repaid with ingratitude), was educated and htted for that station. And in this capaci- y ne engaged oad obtained for rerolo- honaly soldier, c tract of laad copering the ncso fto"rssting uiilage of Osacego. But his etsent having the misfortune to be poor and unable to pay heavy Attorney's bill at sighf, acas prosecuted m the supreme court, a ,'.d9naeat a,eeesesed ae;.se! ht:.s, len he l... sold alader the hamner, and bad ia bg .afr. pan Baien. And thus is he enabled to dress and ride in princely style, at the ex- pense of 'spoorH Revolutionary Soldier. Some. of our 'cighbors con speak ieelinpl, on this subject. Had Gen. Harrison nos. sessed the faculty and disposition of Mir. Van Buren, the charge of poverty would not be brought against him at this period of life, but in point of wealth, splendor and high living, he might have vied with his P,'fse-psesss est lre Presidency

MT. Leigh, of the U. s. Senate, in the course of his speech upon the expunging resolution, had occasion to discuss the meaning of the word "keep." In illustra- ton of its true definition, he made copious extracts from several standard authors. Among the rest, he made the following from the scriptures, uttering it with great emphasis and casting at the same time q mlschieyous glance towards Col. Benton -"Ihou shall kcep thy fingers from pick ing' and steating." The hit was nsufera- bic.
