PARTY OF PLEASURE ON THE Potomac, for The
Native .Amcricans crciusiUely.-It is proposed
by Messrs. King & Wilson, to charter steam
boat, and take the Native Americaiis of this City,
with the Ladies Of their families, down the river
on one of these clear, moonlight nights. Music
and dancing will be had on board and every in
nocent amusement that tend to recreate the
BODY and relieve the mind. We can imagine no
thing so pleasant as short excursion under these
circumstances. The river is an bject Of admira-
ton at all times, but at night far so than in
the day. The shores look dim and distant, while
the thousand pillows sparkle beneath the moon.
The fresh air front the water, and its freedom
from those communicating causes that are always
to be found in cities, will nvgorate the body, and
be extremely Instrumental in restoring the fatgued
mind to proper tone and temper. What with
sense to music and dancing, and smiling faces and
bright eyes, and soft moonlight and the broad
river, we may expect delightful trip, and we
should not fail to take it. See Messrs. Wilson
and Kings advertisement. p.
A-n'rl1e reader will look in vain to our col
umns for the advertisement. 1t was, perhaps,
thought quite enough for us to pug The postage
on the above and place it in our columns. The

To the Hon. Sydney johnson, Secretary Of Mar:
SIR: On yesterday the negotiation OH the part

order the whole force was put in motion towards
the encampment of Bowes, on the Neches.
Colonel Landrum crossed OH the west side Of the
Neches, and marched up the river; the regiment
under Colonies Burleson and Rusk moved direct
lly 10 the camp of Bowles.
Upon reaclring 1T, it was found to be abandoned.
Their trail was ascertained, and rapid pursuit
made. About six miles above their encampmcnt,
in the vicinity OF the Delaware village, at the
head Of the prairie, they were discovered by the
spy company, under Captain J. Carter, and a
detachment Of 25 men from Captain Todd's com
pany. led by Gen. Rusk. The enemy displayed
from the point of hill--Gen. Rusk motioned to
them to come on-they advanced and fired four
ar Eve times, and Immediately occupied thlcket
and ravine on the left.
As we advanced the lines were Immediately
formed and the action became general. The ra-
vine was Instantly charged and hanked on the
left by Cor Burleson, and part OF his regiment;
the rest of Burleson's regiment was led by Lieu
tenant Colonel Woodlef. A PORTION OF General
Rusk's regiment charged at the same time, and
another portion took position on point OF a
hill TO the right, and drove party who attempted
10 flank us from that quarter thus instantly drl-
wing the enemy from the ravine and thicket, lea
wing eighteen dead on the field, that have been
found, and carrying off, as usual, their wounded,
as was seen by our men.
| Our loss was two killed, one wounded mortal
Ily, and five slightly, to wit: d. H. Rodgers,

IIarrson's company; II. P. Cronson, of same;

lcomnand; James Anderson, OF Captain Lewis's
COMPANY; Solomon Albright, of Captain Van

blows struck in the dark are wont to do, on heads
which they would Willingly spare. Let them
take care how they provoke men who love Ma
tional honor better than party. They may else
find, when too late, that they have driven from
their ranks the best, the frmest, and the most in
nuentia of their supporters.
We seek no contest with them, but Justice TO
ourselves, and justice to some of our best and
most esteemed members, requires us to give this
timely warning.
