PROPOSED ATTACK UPON PANAMA.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) Jan. II

KINGSTON, (Jam.) jan. II.
You have already heard Of the difficult
ties between the British Government and
the Rcrublc of New Grenada, on account
of the insult made to Mr.. Russel, British
Vice Consul at Panama.
The commander Of II. N. naval forces
(aGcr orders received from EnsIandO sent
a vessel Of r to Carthagcna to demand
satisfaction, because the authorities OF Pa
mama had frs: imprisoned Mr.. RusscI, and
after imprisoning him had not rr;i!s.a'cd
him. ard in consequence ola robbery 10 the
amount Of thousand pounds comm ted
in Mr.. Russel's house while in prison. 1t
seems that the Government of New -Grcna-
da, refused to submit to the demand promui-
gated in the letter ofthe Minister oflorcign
atf;,irs (Mr. L!ui dc Pombo.)
Since his we have had flaming procIa-
NATION from the President Francisco &c
Paula Samandcr, calling on the New Grcn-
adams 10 be ready to fight the troops Of
Great Britain. THIS circumstance makes
every one laugh. General Samandcr is
we'll known to be the greatest coward in all
New Grenada and was the only ono Of all
the Columbian officers that behaved like
coward a. the battle Of Boyaca.
It's reported here that orders were re-
ceivcd from home, in case the required sat-
slac.ion was moi Immediately given to pre-
pare an expedition from this island 10 Pa.

This is the last day on which. unless the
Joint Rules of Proceeding in Congress be
suspended in that event, this is the
last day int onc-on which bills can be
passed. Nevertheless, up 10 the time OF
making up this paper, bo:h Houses labor
iously engaged too, there appeared little hope
of the passage Of the greater part even OF
those bills which were considered in fair
way, (having already passed one or ;hc 9TH
er IIouse,) TO mos! OF which there IS no
serious objection, if they could only be 50
much as rcad to the House which they have
yet to pass. 1t will be much, under these
circumstances, it, between the two Houses,
one or more of the necessary annual bills be
not lost.
Among the bills whose fate hangs in
doubtful scales is the ForiiGcas;on Appro.
priation Bill. The Senate having stricken
out tho section Of it which provides for the
distribution OF the Surplus Revenue among
the Staes on the lst Of January next, the
bill is returned 10 the House ofRcprcscnta-
tivcs with this amendment, which is thus
again brought before the House lorrccons:-
deraion. [fthc House do not rcccdc from
it, and the Senate adhere to its opposition,
the whole bill will, Of course, fall through.

"Every department and every individual has

that the difficulties attending military opera

"This is a service which no man would seek
with any other view than the mere perform
ance Of his duty; distinction or increase ofrep-
utation is out of the question; and the dticnl-
ties are such, that the best concerted plans
may result in absolute failure, and the best cs-
tablished reputation be lost without fault.

LouisriLle, Cincinnati and Charleston Roll
Rehabilitation Mcneil, the chief Engineer Of
this Road, arrived here few days since, IN
the steam boat from Norfolk, and having pre-
viously signifed his acceptance OF the appoint
rnent, entered promptly upon the important
duties OF his Office. We understand that after
freouent interviews with the President and
Directors in this place, and with Col. Elmore.
one Of the Directors resident in Columbia,
plan of operations was adopted, which Major
Mcneil will carry Immediately into effect:-
The chief Engineer will forthwith organize
such brigades of Engineers as may be found
necessary for the purpose OF entering at once
upon the survey of all the line of Road indlca-
ted by the Company, at their late meeting IN
Knoxville, and such other lines as may appear
TO possess peculiar advantages. Major Nc
Neill has proceeded accordingly to the North,
to assist Mr.. Drayton, (who had already been
DESPATCHED to New York and Philadelphia for
that purpose) in procuring the requisite sup
p!y of instruments of the best description As
soon as the necessary arrangements can be
made, Major Mcneil will return here, and
the several Brigades of Engineers all at
once take the fed, ard commence their op-
crations.
1t is hoped that the surveys and estimates
will be completed in time to enable the CON-
panv, at their meeting in October next, to es-
tabIish the route and commence the work.
The acquisition of such man as Maj. Nc
Neil who has constructed more Rail Roads,
and with more SUCCESS than any man in Anne
rica, and perhaps in the world, is most fortu-
nate for the Company, and augurs, well for
the success of the enterprise. We are in
formed that he enters with great zeal into the
undertaking, ard is confident of success.

UNITED STATES BANK.
Mr.. Galbrath, from the select committee
upon the subject OF the United States Bank,
reported the following joint resolution:
Resolrcd by The Senate and Uous" cf Rep
rcscnfatireS ofthc United States Of america IN
C9ngress assembled, That until the notes OF
the late Bank of United States, which may
have been returned since the 3D. day ..March
last. redeemed from the funds of the SAID bank,
shall cease to be re-issued by the officers, d.
rectors, trustee or trustees, and until the
amount due to the Government from SAID
bank shall be settled to the satisfaction OF the
Secretary Of the Treasury, the notes OF sald
bank, and the notes of any bank to which lis
funds and estate may be transferred Ill trust
for the payment OF It's debts and discharge OF
its obligations, shall not be received IN pay
mcnt of anv debts due to the Government OF
the United States, or taken in exchange or
1cposi.c in any of the banks selected as de-
posi,ories OF the public money and the Sccre-
tsry of the Treasury is hereby directed to adopt
such measures as he may deem necessary to
clrry this provision into effect.
\ memorial was presented by the Speaker
from the L. S. Banl; concluding as follows:
The Board of Directors Will now make one
final offer to settle, and they make it directly
to your honorable bodies, so as to avert the
hazard of any further mediation. They learn
from the printed report of ;the Secretary that
the commi missioners would have recommended
the following terms of settlement ,-
To value each share Of tho stock at Sllo
%, and receive payment for it 10y equal install
mcnts, payable in September 1887, lS3s.
1S39' and l5lG, with 6 per cent interest until
paid. 49,,
The Board of Directors agree, to those
terms, and are ready to carry them into exc
cution.
They do not stop to inquire whether this be
not too much They prefer that it should be
too much. They will never differ with Con.
gress about mere sums of money, and are spc-
cially anxious to terminate their conneXlon
with the Government in manner satisfactory
TO all parties.

SANTA FE BRIDGE, FEB. "a.

-
Dear Sir: presume you have received IN
tclligencc of an engagement on the 9th ut.
between Gen. Jcsup and a large party OF In
dians, when a number of the enemy with Their
families were taken prisoners, and many ne
groes, cattle, &c. were captured: also the ro-
luntarv appearance of some of the chiefs, who
stated their desire to bury the tomahark, and
that if permitted, they would 60 out and bring
in all the warriors, to have talk and make
peace Upon this promise Gen. Jesup gave
them until the 2Oth past, to meet HIM and
comply. The express rider from that place
has Just passed, and informs us that SO Indians
had come in; among the number were Mica
aopy or Jamper, Che knew rot which) blacL;
AGranl, and one or two other chiefs; the In
dams were coming in slowly, and bringing
none of their families; that Gen. Jesup had eX-
tended the time until the 9th inst. and if they
did not all come in By then, he would continue
with renewed vigor his scourge upon thcm-
| doubt much whether they will all come in /;
the fact of their not bringing with them their
families, is quite suspicious as to their real In
tention; for it is well known they will sacrifice
every thing rather than have their women
and children taken. Some may yield, but there
arc others, not incolsidera5lc III number, that
will not.
About two weeks since large party of III
dians, supposed to be between 3 and 400, at
tackled Fort Monroe; after several hours fight
ing they were repu!sed. Only white was
killed, and Il wounded; the number of Indians
killed not known, as they were borne off.
The five companies from South Carolina
are still separated; Capt. Brown and Lieut..
Williamson's at St. Augustine, Capt. Durant's
at Volusia. MAJOR Harllee with Capt. Blake
ncy's and Pearces companies, are yet here.
| do not know what disposition will soon be
made OF us; it is probable the five companies
will be concentrated here, and ordered TO scour
the adjoining country. A party of Indians Is
said to be in our vicinity; we have seen some
trails but TO Indians. If the Indians all come
in by the 9th inst. suppose VIC will be dis
charged before our term OF service expires;
but this Is not probable.
| did suppose that CarOlina'S sons were cal
led distance of five hundred miles to fght;
to assist in Scourging a savage foe but did
not expect We would be called this distance,
and then plunged III up to our waists in mud
and water. that we might arrive al place
where it mi ght be considered necessary by
some for us to perform the menial task of build
ing picket and block houses. And this too,
in barren wilderness, where nought but the
hoWling wolf visits our nightly repose. This
may all be Iar and this may be right. but
more o1IOn. Yours, &c.

adopted, Feb. 27.
Resolred, unanimously, That the Senate
concur in opinion with the President of the

anccs from the Mexican Government, the
mode and manner Of which, under The 30 h
article of lhc treaty. so far rs Il may be ap-

ticc Of our claims, that this demand will re-
suit in speedy redress bu: should they be
disappointed in this reasonable expectation,
state OF things will then have occurred
which will make it the imperative duty OF
Congress promptly to consider what further
measures may be required by the honor Of
the nation and the rights of our injured fcl-
low-ctizcns.
In the House on the 9th, Mr. Howard from

Rcso'rcd, That the indignitics offered to
the American flag, and injuries committed
upon the persons and property Of American
citizens, by officers oflhc Mexican Govern.

would justify the Congress Of lhc unl.ed

TIE WAR NOT ENDED YET

On Saturday night last, information was re-
ceived from Gen. Jcsup's Camp, at Dade's
Battle Ground, and we regret to state, that it
is far from cheering. It is stated that the
Indians have held no talk, nor have the
Chiefs returned as they agreed to. Gen.
Jessup was to wait until Saturday, when he
wouli re-commcnce hostiIlities. Abont one
hundred Indians had been in the Camp, and
Abraham and others were allowed ingress and
egress. On Saturday night last Gen. Her
nandezs two negroes, Aleck and Stephen, who
were taken by Indians in May last, returned,
having effected their escape on horScback.-
We have not seen them, but We learn that
they state, that there is a great deal OF dis
scnt!on in the Nation. The Chiefs are will
ling to give up, but the young Warriors are
averse to it-that they have plenty of ammu-
ngtion-that Philips tribe at Topkeliky have
oeen disturbcd-and they have force of
more than 400 fighting men-thatin the attack
upon the breast work at Lake Monroe, they lost
one killed and three woundeG-and that the
party did not know of the Arnistice. A report
prevails among them that General Jesnp, in
holding out the offer of a talk, intends to get
them, hand cuff them, and ship them off, and
this has prevented their attending.
