RUMORS OF WAR.

We clip the following paragraph from the
ST. Louis Republican, of the End inst, and
by it, it will be seen that the President is de-
termined if possible to begin the work of
annexing Texas, while his power lasts
These military arrangements jump very well
with the recent quarrel between MIR. Shan
on and the Mexican Minister
at was rumored here, some days ago, that
secret orders had been given TO the comman
der of the troops at Fort Townson, near the
Sabine line, the execution of which was
made to depend upon the election Of Col
Polk TO the Presidency. Very recently, X.
Jones, Adl't. Gen. U. S. A, was appointed
commissioner to accommodate and arrange
UOruvOu tnU OIerJ-
kee Indians; and thereby placed at no great
distance from the seat of operations on the
Sabine. 1t is supposed, that his appointment
to this commission was not without an utter
ior object, dependent on the contingency we
have named. At Fort Townson, the troops
are kept in marching condition, and might
enter the Texan territory at a moments
warning. A command Of dragons, under
Captain Boone, have, indeed, penetrated far
toward the Rio Bfassos, under pretext oil
being present at a treaty with the Comanches,
but which treaty, it is notorious, had been
held a month prior to the departure of the
Dragons from the United States territory.
As the President and his Secretary of State
would be glad of any pretext to justify the
military occupation of Texas, these rumors
may well induce some solicitude as to future
movements on that frontier.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18th 1874

The whole city is filled with rumors of
war-every where you hear that Mr.. Tyler
is going to send I'M message Tomorrow, re-
commending-some say submitting to Con
gress whether it is not now proper to de-
clare-wa against Mexico. | can trace the
rumor 10 no authentic source. 1t owes its
origin possibly to the fact, ofthe arrival here
of MIR B. L. Green, who Secretary TO the
Legation to Mexico, and who lately left thar
country with his father duff reen) as bear
err of dispatches. He brings the letters you
have seen published between MIR. Shannon
and Reion, and also letters from the former
to the Secretary of State.
1t is impossible to say what Mr.. Tyler will
do. The cabinet have certa inly been sit
ting ON the Mexican egg, but what sort Of
a bird they will be able to hatch out of it,
even those who profess to be best informed
cannot say. The occupants of the White
House are dumb they shake their heads,as
the Maudarians dc, but you cannot make
anything out ofthe nod, for they say moth
ing, perhaps because they know nothing.
Beyond all doubt. MIR. Tyler is not oppos-
ed 10 embroiling the country in a war. If
he had two years, instead oil two months of
his presidential term left, he would be sure
TO do so, if for nothing else, he would do so
merely TO show how valiant he would be-
He would like to take the field himself, so it
IS given out bat certainly he would have one
of the young Princes in the fight.
They do say that Mr.. Calhoun is for peace.
It that be So he is entitled TO the credit oil
being able 10 see how disastrous a-war with.
Mexico--in which we should have all The
freebooters of The land upon us--woulo be
10 the South, of which, he claims 10 be the rep.
resentative.

We find the following in the Warsaw OILY
Signal, of the 9th ullimo, but that pa per is
SO rabid in all that relates to the Mormons,
that the accuracy ofthis rumor may we'll be
doubted:
A STARTLING RUMoR-Fate of Lyman
Wrights Band.-We have intelligence from
Nauvoo, of "a tragedy lately enacted in the
Pine Region, above Prairie du Chen, which
if true, will cause some i~ncredulous people
TO open their eyes 10 the true character ofthe
Mormons and Their leaders.
From the best information which we can
obtain, the particulars are these:
Lyman Wright and a portion of his com
pany made AL. attack upon a trading station
about 80 miles above Prairie du CHEN, for
the purpose of robbing the traders of their
goods and appropriating the same 10 the use
of Lords People. They were, however hot
ly received, and four of the Mormon gang
shot on the spot.
The remainder fled: but the French and
Indians were so exasperated at this diabolicaI
attempt TO rob them of means of sustenance
by their Mormon neighbors, and feeling no
security for either life or property while such
treacherous Williams remained intheir vicini-
ty, leagued together and pursuing Wright's
band murdered all that they could find.
1t is not known how many fell victims to
Indian cruelty but the opinion appears 10 be
prevalent in Nauvoo, that but very few es-
capped. This statemen we give as we re-
ceived. In Nauvoo, we learn from the most
credible authority, thatt the information ome
from the most reliable sources.

A OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Captain Voorhees,, of the U. S., Frigate
Congress, has capturedthe Argentine Squad
ron. The accout given of the affair is a
long one. Our Eastern friends call it one
sided. We give it, with the news appended
from South America as we find il:
By the arrival this morning of the barque
Creole, of Baltimore, from Buenos Ayres
Oct. 18th, and Monteyideo 10Th, we learn
by Capt. Norris that there was a great excite
ment prevailing at Buenos Ayres in conse-
quence of the U. S. brig of war cambridge
having been fred into by the Buenos Ayres
squadron in entering the harher. ee NJ A@eAni
The frigate Congress, being in the harbor
at the time, got Immediately under way and
went off the harbor and demanded redress
which was Immediately complied with-the
commander of the Buenos Ayrean squadron
hauling down his. colors in three minutes af
ter the request. The squadron had caplur-
ed an American barque but not the schoon-
er. On the 1lth ofOctober, at Montevidoe,
Commander w. d. NEWMAN, of the U. S.
brig Brainbridge, drowned himself in conse-
quence ola reprimand he had received from
his superior officer.
We have received this morning the "Brit-
ish Packet of Oct. 18th, which speaks of
seizure of the vessels Of the Argentine squad
ron off Montevidoe, by Capt. Voorhees,, of
the U. S. ship Congress. The account is a
one sided statement ofthe editor, from which
we get no clue as to the right OF the CASE
". Y. Erening Post.
A letter in the N. Y. Courier, referring to
Capt. Ms. suicide, says:
81 came up with him from Mcdonald, and
saw he was becoming insane, in consequence
Of not having fred into a schooner of the
blockading squadron which fired three shots
at him when he first arrived from the u. S
In vain did we assure him that his conduci
was such as to meet the appreciation of his
county. His state of mind was distressing
and the consequences are still more So"

THE EXPULSION OF MR.. HoAR.-

The intelligence of the proceedings of the
South Carolina. legislature in regard 10 Mr..
Hoar, is taken in high dudgeon in Massa-
chusetts, says the Patriot. The Boston jour
nal, which snot want to give way TO ebulitions
Of temper, says:"The resolutions authorizing
the appointment of Stale agents in some of
the slave States. were passed by the Legs
lature, when Marcus Morton was Governor
of Mass achusetts, and the democratic party
had the ~ascendancy in the Commonwealth.
We trust, however that there will be no par
ty feeling manifested in this matter. This
la not a party question. 1t is one which
effects the honor of Massachusetts and oil
ALL her citizens. The reception of MIR,
Hoar, an accredited agent of this State, by
the Government of South Carolina, and the
treatment of this worthy and venerable man
by the citizens of Charleston. is an outrage
an insult to Massachusetts,, which cannot be
lightly passed over. The S. Carolina papers
may we'll say, the crisis is at hand"

PRESERVATION OF ArPLEs.
A gentleman from the northern part of India
ma recently communicated to us fact in regard
TO the Preservation of apples, which will be new
to many osourreaders,a and valuable to all farmers
lie says that to keep apples from autumn TO Juue,
he places them in a shallow hole dug as for Irish
potatoes, having covered the bottom with corn
stalks or straw & covering the apples with a good
coating OF straw s. with dirt to the depth of fiveor
six inches. No shelter is placed over Them. AS
soon as the severe weather arrives, and the
ground, and perhaps the apples themselves, be-
come thoroughly frozen, straw IS again placed
over the frozen heap, aud the whole again Gov
cred with a coating OF earh-tbis time ten or
twelve inches chick.
The object is tokeep tho first coating of earth
frozen until spring, and then cause il TO thaw
very slowly.
The same treatment may be given to turnips
Irish potatoes beets,and carrots. Any of the Sc
roots may be thoroughly frozen without injury
provided they are then covered well over, and
suffered 10 thaw by slow degrees.
Sweet potatoes are almost the only exception,
among roofs to tits rule. They are injured by
a small degree Of cold, and without being fro
zen, 1t is only the sudden thawing that causes
the dissolution Of the apple or pota'oe that has
been frozen. iii The frozen stale, an Irish po-
tato is put into cold water, until the frost is out,
aud is then cooked, it will be as good as if had
never been frozen. Allahese are facts, which
we know from our own experience, and tina. of
many others.

Mr.. aAMBAssADoRn SHANNON

The New York papers (Locofoco as well as
Whig) are numerically severe upon Mr.. S.
for his letter of the l4th of Oct. 10 Mr.. Re-
jon. His own party friends of the New York
News write him down a Dogberry, and asks
"what right had he to empty bodily into his
letter ofthe 18th October MIR. CaIhoun's in
structions of the 10th September"
This. says a Washington Correspondent,
sis a blow aimed more at Mr.. Calhoun than
Mr.. Shannon, as | understand il. The
Globe will be apt TO follow suit"
The Globe does follow suit. 1t copies a
severe censure Of Mr.. Shannon, from a Phil
adelphia paper-and i'll its introductory re-
marks, speaks ofthe ''improprieties" of his
letter of October ii. In this article COPIED
from the Philadelphia paper, is also a severe
attack upon Mr.. Cvlhoun's diplomacy. So
commences the wal OF the factions.

POSTSCRIPT.

III We just learn, by Telegraph, that Mr. Poik,of
Tennessee, has been nominated usir candidate for
INC Presidency by the Van Buren, Convention. we
will venture to say that this nomination will take the
country with much surprise. The nomination Of the
Convention the first annunciation Of Mr. Polk as a
candidate for the Presidency. We have heard his
name occasionally mentioned for the second Office,
but never for the first But it may be that the Dele
gates have acted under full knowledge of the wishes
Of the People in this respect The 276 men assem-
bed in Baltimore surely would not have srrogsted to
themselves tho task Of making President, with
out consultation with the People, if not in perfect ig-
norance of their wishes II So then has there been
committed upon the rights of the People greater vio-
lsoce than has ever before taken place We wait
