something 10 sustain natnre To sum up matters in
one word the bill auhorisng the President to call
OUT volunteers and take command in person, has
been vetoed, and the army has been disbanded
Daily struggling parties of the volunteers are coming
IN, without clothes or money, and without pros

:, More than regiment of young men from the
united states, urged on by noble and generous
PATRIOTISM, have left their homes to embark in
cause dear to every freeman. Many of them left

scarcely prospect of getting home.

The Augustine Herald, of the 22d ultmo, saws
that the present plan of the commander is to coax
the Indians TO the South by the establishment ri a

The editor remarks further, that Sam Jones saws
he would as soon be killed there go TO Arkansas,
as he would there have TO expate for three MURDERS
We have all along been of opinion that one great
cause OF the obstinate resistance emgrate WAS
that many of the renegades from Alabama and
Georgia, had committed such offences against In
dian law; as to render them more afraid of their
own brethren IN The west than of our forces.
AT ST Augustine, on the I'D, two companies of
the 9Th regiment, with several officers and two In
dams, arrived In the steamer Cincinnati, from Fort
Pierce, Indian river.

who advertised in of the New York papers,
and by bills posted up through the city, that he was
authorised by Messrs. Moorehead " Co., OF Laiay-
cite, TO engage them to come out here to work on
the stone locks on his division OF the canal Nash,
it appears, made each one pay him SO 90 for which
he furnished them with passage as tar as Toledo.
and gave them card with his name, and the address
of Moorehead & Co.. which he said would secure
them passage on the Wabash and Erie canal TO
LAFAYETTE. where the latter gentlemen would paw
their fare and give them employment Mcssrs
Moorehead e Co deny all knowledge of the trans
actions Of Nash, and have work for stone cutters

nate men are much to be pifed, as they have been
induced 10 come here by false representations and
