House. 1t comes from bhe fact I al
worthless characters are elected-and
the House is not large enough TO stifie
them and from the further fact OF the
per diem. Many ofthem are utterly
worthless at home, and they fad their
account in delaying and frustrating the
public business, in consideration OF the
pay. = or the sake of$8 day,it would
hardly be uncharitable TO suppose, that
some Of the Honorable gentlemen
would be content to stay in Washing
ton always. Abolish the per diem,and
increase the House TO 500, and we
shall have no more long sessions, and
few such scenes as have been enacted
within the last few years. Another
good result will be that the House, be-
ing upon short commons, will push
reTenchment and reform into every
branch of the public seHlce. The sal
aries Of the Federal offic holders will
speedily be reduced SON A33 or so
per cent.--which will open E like a
charm in arresting the oficS eeklng
mania of the day.

course, throughout his rccen, Journey, has
been one of unmingied satisfaction and
pleasure. Every where along his whole

of his kllow.citzens, in a manner becom-
ing his long distinguished public services,
and eyldencing the strong hold which he
hasupon the affections Of the people. His
health has been much improved by his

The Battle of The Ihdmes.-In speech

Johnson gave detailed account Of the bat
lie of the Thames. Having been sent for
ward with his mounted men in pursuit Of
The British and Indians, he found Proctor
forces drawn up in order of battle between
the river Thames on the one side and a
large swamp on the other. The Indians
under Tecumsch lay in the swamp. Col.
Johnson's narrative continues thus:
"In the mean timc Geh. HARRlsoY had been

Of the parties, aud his countenance was lit up
with an expression Of delight at the prospect

LATEST From TEXAS

! In the New Orleans papers which came
10 hand last hight We have Galveston dates
TO the 10Th instant. Austin has not been
burnt nor repched by the Mexican forces.
General Wall had tetreated from San An.
tonla, and il was supposed bad succeeded
in crossing the Rio Grande. The Texi-
ans were becoming aroused, and were
mastering with much spirit and animation
in defence Of their country. An estimate
represents Gen. Walls loss in killed aud
wounded since the invasion as hiyh as from
four TO five hundred men. The report of
Captain Caldwel's victory is confirmed
He had ten men wounded, but the Mexican
loss is not stated. Gen. Burleson, having
command of five hundred men, had cal.
led upon the citizens Of Texas to Join him
for the purpose Of pursuing the enemy in
TO their own country.
The Civilian contains an address 10 the
people OF Texas from the citizens who sur
rendered at San Antonio, from which it
appears that they are treated with great
leniencv, and hence it is inferred that the
report Of the murder Of young Van Ness
IN untrue.
The Galveston Civilian Of the 9Th inst.
says that place is amply supplied with the
best Of artillery, and Col. Hockey is su-
perlutending the erection of The necessary
detences, SO that il will be next TO impossi-
bic for an enemy 10 land there.

TIE INDIANA LoCorocos-

Oar readers will remember the circum.
stance stated in our last, of the presen,a.
ton Of petition to Mr.. Clay, gotten up
by some Locofocos in Indiana, PRAYING for
the liberation of his slaves. The ndlvid.
dual who presented it, was q fellow BY the
name OF MendenhaH. Upon his return to
his brothers house where he was staying
in Richmond, after the scene described in
our last, and the excoriation he received at
the hands of Mr.. Clay, he was met BY his
brother, who thus addressed him: Vel,
sir" says he, "you hare done it you hare
disgrdced yourself your name, your flmi

nature" 81 suppose, them" interrupted
tho fellow addressed, "vou are tired of me
and do not wish me to remain longer at
your house," "Why, sir" was the &C.
Spouse, YOU IRE here under my roof, and
however disgracciu may have been your
conduct, will not be guilty of the inhu.
man conduct of turning YOU out of doors ;
but if you feel any disposition to go, you
have my full permission, and when you
once leave, never wish to see your face
again" Such were the feelings which
such conduct excited, even IN brothers
bosom. Lexington Intelligeacer.
