Large numbers of Indians, negroes and
mongrels from Florida hav" been placed
upon the borders Of Arkansas and Mis-
souri,. BY gentleman direct from Fort
hcavcnworth we learn that some 600
negroes from Florida and runaw?ys from
the Choc,aws and Cherokees, and from
the whites, united with few Indians and
perhaps a few white men, have been
gradually associated in the Businesses west
of Arkansas. Not long since they march
ed high up Red River and campcd for
the purpose of hunting buffalo. They
built very tolerablc Fort with logs, sur
rounded with n ditch, to protect them
selves against all dangers. They caught
but few buffalo, and therefore, to supply
their wants invaded the possessions of
the Choctaws and carried off cattle, poul
try, grain, &c. The Choctaws followed,
but finding their numbers and Notifications
an overmatch, they retired and sent to
Fort Gibson for the United States Dra-
goonS. Capt. Moore of Company d.
was sent to capture them with three COM
panes of Dragons, but after arriving
upon the Red River, he found their en-
trenchments too strong and their number
too great to venture an attack. He ac-
cordingly sent to Fort Towson and was
reinforced with fine company of inian-
try and couple of pieces of cannon.
The cannon were shortly brought to
bear upon the works and soon made the
splnters fly and the logs move so queer
ly, that the refugees, at signal, rushed
outside of their Notifications and began to
form upon the Prairie in front Of their
works. Ere they fully succeeded in do
ing so, Capt. Moore AMI his gallant Dra-
goons charged upon them at full gaIlop.
The carnage that ensued is represented
as terrihc.-'rhe Dragons routed then,
in all directions, and, after putting large
numbers to the sword, succeeded IN cap
turing the whole body The conduct o
the Dragons is represented rs worthy o
all commentator as regards both skill
and bravery. The bravery and number.
oil the refugees availed absolutely nothing
against the irresistible charge of TIT
mounted Dragons.
This decisive blow will give securit,
to that exposed portion of our frontie
and convince the refugee negroes and In
dams that our Dragons may not be trlte
with. The loss of the Dragons wa
unknown to our informant-he said 4
express brought the news to the Fort
ST. Louis .Argus.

England was in the greatest fcrment in regard
to the elections, as was anticipated. Parliament
was prorogued on Tuesday the 22d of June by the
queen in person, and it dissolved on Wednesday
following.
The Liverpool Mail of July Cd says that there
were, on that day. l4S tories and las liberals re-
turned to Parliament. Lord Palmcrston was bea-

Commodore Napier, radical, Is returned from

Plotting, fighting, murder, and blood,hcd were

We know not when we have perused more
touching and beautiful little story than the fol-
lowing from the Hartford Courant:
1t was but yesterday that friend--a
young gentleman of fine intellect, of a
noble heart, and one well known to many
of our readers, was suddenly snatched by
the hand of death from all the endear-
ments of life. Surrounded by every
thing that could make existence pleasant
and happy-a wife that idoized him
children that loved him as they only can
love, and friends devoted to him--the
summons came, and he lay upon the bed
of death. But few short years ago, she
to whom he was welded, placed bridal
ring upon his finger, upon the inside OF
which he had few words privately en-.
craven. The husband would never per.
nit the giver to read them, telling her
that the day would come when her wish
should be gratifcd, and she should know
the secret--Sevcn years gIlded away
and day or two since, when conscious
that he must soon leave his wife forever
he called her to his bedside, and yitl
his dying accent told her that the hon
had at last come when she should see III,
words upon the ring she had given him
The young mother took it from his COLI
finger, and, though heart.strlcken will
grief, eagerly read the words--"I haU

The Galveston Gazette editor is in a
most miserable fix. According to his
own account the mosquitoes have estah-
lished large singing school in his bed
room and all sorts of psalms, hymns, dir.
ges and comic songs are performed du-
ring the night while the tleas for the
want of ilutcr promenade and dance
over his person to the music. If the
choir would only chant tho hundredlI,
psalm he thinks he could stand the slow
dance of the neas while footing that mca-
sure, but the vexatious pipers like to
strike up rigadom in quick time, OF
"the Campbell's are coming" and then
the ileas, rs large as down east lobs-
tiers" cut it down on his bare back with
a double-shuiiie- heel-and-toe-it hornpipe,
as if it did their souls good. We really
do not know how to advise him in his
printable case. In this city the loafers
have adopted very comfortable plan to
pass the night, by getting inside the old
steam boat boilers and covering each end
with handkerchefs, but no such facilities
probably exist at Galveston. We can do
nothing better for orr friend of the Ga
znitc at present than to recommend him
to adopt plan stated several years since
by New Hampshire friend of ours who
was annoyed in similar manner. After
trying every other experiment without
success he finally resolved to grin ant
bear IL n. y. Pic.

ter suffering the most unhcard of fortunes,
was sentenced TO be drawn in four quar-.

excrted their entire strength, by drawing
IN four directions for O'y minutes,
the muscles were not torn from their at

cutioners were obliged to cut the tendons

ner so truly in keeping with the proverbiaI charac.
ter oil our State. Our citizens, it is known, are
never bosterous in the expression Of their feelings,
They talk little, but act promptly. They are as

are unob,rusve and unpretending, in their private
and social relations. have made no great 6lust.

~ done our du'y. And our Wing brethren all over
the country, may confidently rely upon North Ca.
rohna, whenever her services are needed, in the
great cause OF LiBrRrr and RrroRM.
In publishing the subjoined list, il NAV not lie
amlss TO remark in these days OF impracticabiity,
that all the wings returned are good men and true.

WELL DONE TENNESSEE,

By letter from friend in Tennessee, we learn
that 1t has been prematurely published all over the
country, that in the fourth Congressional District
that State, J. w. Blackwell, Loco Foco) mem.
Der OF the last Congress, is reelected Not so.
We have pleasure in stating that Thomas J. Camp
bell (Whig) has been elected in that district by
majority of79 votes over Mr. Blackwell. Another
wing candidate received l6i votes. So the entire
wing majority IN the District is 2i3. The majority
OF MIR Blackwell in the same district in 1889 was
1915 votes.
Thus IN every State in which an election has
been held within the last two months, there has been
decided Wing gain in the number of votes, nd in
every State ain in the results of the election e1.
cept in Rhode Island, where the late members were
all Wing, and in Kentucky whose Wing members
were already II to 2.-.Nai. lat. Of Monday.
