BORDER NEWS-REPORTED FIGHT
BETWEEN A PARTY OF MEXI-
CANS AND A PART OF SNIVE-
Tvs MEN

CANS AND A PART OF SNIVE-
LY'S MEN.
The New Era of the 2lst says: One or
two gentlemen arrived in the John Aull,
last night, from independence, who bring
news substantially the same as that publish
ed in the Republican of this morning.
They left the Big Arkansas on the 9th of
July land state that party of 100 men, be-
longing 10 Snively's command of Texan
adventurers had had skirmish with 100
Mexcans, short time previous, which las
ted 20 or 80 minutes; that 25 or 80 Mexi-
cans were killed, a number wounded, and
the rest taken prisoners. The Mexican of
fcers attempted TO escape on horseback,
but were soon taken, and their arms and
ammunition surrendered-after which they
were released, and sent to the camp of the
Governor of Santa Fe, "a little distance off,
who, it is said, fled with his 600 men to-
ward Santa Fe; but it is added, that he af-
forwards recovered from his fright, and
was returning to meet the caravan of ira
ders. We learn that the persons in COM
mand of this expedition had determined
not to proceed to Bent's Fort, as was expec-
ted at our last advices, and were proceed
ing to the usual crossing place on the Ark
ansas The Americans, it is affirmed, will
make common cause with the Mexican ira
ders, and if so, Snively will not get posses
sion of the booty without hard fighting.
Capt. COOKE, in command of the U. s.
Dragons, as he approached the Arkansas,
came upon 100 armed men belonging to
Snivelys force, on American territory, en-
gagged in hunting. He forthwith charged up
on them and took the whole number priso-
ners--deprived them of their arms except
ten pieces, which were left with them for
the purpose of killing game to subsist up
on---and then released them, granting them
the privilege of coming to the U. States
under an escort, or of taking any route "a
cross the prairie to Texas They chose the
latter alternative. 1t is supposed, that they
would attempt to rejoin the party in wait
ing for the traders, at the Semirone-sixty
miles beyond the Arkansas--and cut them
off at that place, before an union could be
effected with the Governors forces. The
crossing of the Arkansas was to be attempt
ed by the Traders about the 4th of July.
The Republicans correspondent says
"Our informant reports good deal of dis
satisfaction existing among the Texan
troops; he says there is a great many intel
Iigent men among them, but majority of
rogues. Their object is booty"
Large quantities of goods, belonging to
the Mexicans who came in this spring. are
now ascending the Missouri. We under
stand, that they will wait for the company
of Americans under the command of Mr..
st. Vrain, and proceed with him direct to
Bent's Fort on the Arkansas.

Col. BENToN.-We were in Boonvie
a few days since, and had the pleasure of
seeing this gentleman. His presence does
not create SO much of sensation as for
merly, particularly when he happens to be
sojourning in a place where the Hero of
the Thames" has SO many admirers as in
Boonville. There is not that disposition
formerly manifested to make his acquaint-
ance. There are few, however, who still
think there is "virtue in the hem of his
garments" and they are showing him
around, giving introductions, &c. He was
introduced to a young man of that place,
of rather waggish turn, who made the COL
and his suite feel rather bad. "Ha~ said
he, when introduced, "glad to see you
Colonel--glad to see you-I graduated at
the same College you did," The Colonel
bushed, his hand Involuntary wandered
to his cravat, and he evinced disposition
to "push along keep moving"

Messrs EDiroRs:--In the "Pilot' OF the 18th
inst, | noticed an article over the signature Of
"Conjux," addressed 10 that very important class
of our community, usually known by the unen.
vable title of old Bachelors, OF whom have the
honor to be one.
This article sets forth in such charming array
all "the pure delights and unaloyed pleasures
Of wedlock, that many Of my fellow bachelors,
over.dlsgused with their present situation in lille,
compared with the extatic joys Of the married
state, as described by "Coniux," have resolved
on rebuilding their energy and their diligence
and to bow with increased pathos at the golden
shrnes" Of those lovely lassies OF the neighbour
hood Of whom "Conjux" speaks Others pain
fully mindful of their oft repeated defeats in
former suits, cannot now ''screw their courage
to the sticking point sufficiently to attempt a.
thing again in which they have been so often and
so sadly disappointed. The latter class have de.
termined to defend themselves and their mode OF
life against the contumelies and reproaches OF all
lovesick sticklers for marriage, and to show 10
the world that they enjoy pleasures OF which
their less fortunate friends Of the welded state
cannot participate
"Coniux" sets out with the broad declaration
that previous TO his marriage he knew not
what "real happiness was" this may be very
know what it is /! In his rapturous feeling he
proceeds to say that the married life may DO
made zone perpetual honey NOON" mark his
words, "perpetual honey moon" Now reader,
there is no such thing and as to the little joys
of which he speaks (petty responsibilities sup
pose he means,) the old bachelor is perfectly cal
ious he cares nothing for them, and in many
cases he actually detests them. He can look
with lordly Indifference upon the troubled sea Of
matrmony when the storm RACES, and to himself
say, "better be content with the ills we have
than flee to others we know not Of" He is free
from all such things as ''curtan lectures, "fre.
side wranglings, &C., &C., Of which we hear SO
much.
What does the broken hearted Burns say to
his quarrelsome spouse after he had repudated
her; give it in his own words
"f1ad we never loved so kindly,
Had we never loved so blindly,
Never met and never parted,
/ had never been broken hearted"
When the wife OF Othello first disclosed to
him her natural disposition, he gave vent to his
wounded feelings in the pathetic strain following
-"I am declined
Into the vale of years;-yet that's not much;-
She's gone; am abus'd; and my relief
Must be to loahe her. O curse Of marriage,
That we can call these delicate creatures ours,
And not their dispositions;
And the ever memorable Posthumus, Justly
vexed with his cara Spo,tSa becomes enraged with
the whole feminine race! Hear him; he says:

Upon this the National Intelligencer re-
marks: "From the above annunciation our
readers will learn, that the long uncertain
ty, doubt and hesitation, in regard to the
composition of the Executive Council have
come to an end.
The late additions to the Cabinet, we
scarcely need say, are of gentlemen close
ly and eminenty connected with the Van
Buren, party, and the present re-construc-
ton is strictly in contamination of that pol
icy and purpose of "democratizing the Ad-
ministration" which has been for some time
avowed and urged in the journals known
to express the Presidents intentions. The
great event which these prophets foretold,
and which the signs in the political sky
have SO long foreboded, has been accom-
plished. The stars of Locofocoism have
performed their circuit, and now re-appear
to shed again their former influences, for
evil or for good, upon the country. We
have at last, beyond all doubt, completely
democratic" Administration.

THE OLDEN TIMEs.-When the Stamp

then in London, wrote to his wife in Phila-

may suppose did not send sooner, as knew

TThe citizens of Boonville rendered
Col. Benton a dinner, which he declined.
The correspondence is published in the Reg
lister. He states that he will be in Cooper
and the adjoining counties several weeks,
with view of seeing and conversing with
his fellow citizens He congratulates the
great West, and thinks the time has arrived
when her interests will receive the atten-
ton they deserve. He speculates politically
as follows:
at gives me great satisfaction to be able to
say TO you that all the signs in the political zodiac
announce the speedy restoration OF the democracy
to power, and with that event the resumption
Of the Jacksonian policy, and the general re-
covery Of the public prosperity. The current
elections will give the democracy the majority
in the House Of Representatives, and that will
be sufficient to prevent mischief; but the great
measures of Gen. Jackson's administration, can.
not be resumed and successfully prosecuted, un.
til the Executive and Senate are also democratic,
and that will require the elections of another
year. In 1S45 Judging from all the signs) and
all the departments Of the Federal Government
will be democratic, and the time will then come
for resuming and completing the measures Of Gen.
Jackson, and giving the country general and
lasting prosperity"
Eighteen hundred and forty-fve may
show the Colonel to be false prophet; and
we believe were he to express his candid
convictions on the subject, his tone would
be different from that of the above ex-
tract.
