DEPARTURE OF TROOPS.

DEfAn1UnE Vt AhOOfS.
On Wednesday evening last, we were attracted by
the envening sounds of those delightful nstru-
ments the drum and ffe and soon recognised the
old air Of "the girls Jeff behind me-" With large
concourse of our ctizens-ladies, gentlemen, chill
dren, &c.-we moved towards our wharfs, where
the steamboat Jewess was waiting to receive on
board the company of the United States artillery
which has been stationed at Fort Severn for several
years. This well-discipned corps, with its gallant
commander, Major Gardiner; the polite and gentle
manly Lieut. Drum, with their interesting and hos.
ptable families; and the universally beloved Lieut.
M'Cown, who is a real Tennesseean in warmth OF
attachment and prowess, embarked about o'clock
p. m, for Old Point Comfort, to await the further
orders of the War Department.
1t is beyond our power even TO attempt descrip-
ton Of the sensation of regret which pervaded the
vast number of their friends, who crowded closer
and closer the time for their departure drew near
BY their courteous and familiar intercourse
with our citizens, those gentlemen, who would be an
geon DR.. King, and his amiable lady, SO ngratiated
themselves into the favorable opinion of our commu-
nifty, that the separation seems that of part Of our
own families. DIR. King, we understand, has been
ordered to Philadelphia. May God well speed them
all, and bear them safely through any danger they
may have to encounter in their country's cause.
In closing this brief notice of this event, we can
not omit mentioning what we heard remarked by q
gentleman, close observer of men and manners
who stood on the wharf as the steamboat moved off,
viz: that he had been well acquainted with nearly
all the officers of the army stationed at Fort Severn
for almost thirty years, and that he knew one
to have personal difference with citizen Of this
place, nor to be guilty Of any act unbecoming gen.
tleman and soldier, with solitary 6rception
This speaks well for the citizen and the soldier
this speaks well for education and West Point

DELHI, Sept. 6, 1916.
Since my last eleven prisoners have been brought
I'M some, however, were broughth here for witnesses
and, after being examined and recognised, were dis
charged.
Last evening Chas. Knapp, esq, of Colchester,
brought in three men. One of them William
Sprague) had Sieele's pistol Every effort has been
made heretofore by the officers to get track Of the
information relative TO 1t, proceeded to the town OF
Rockland, Sullivan county, and found il in the
possession Of Sprague.
Sprague at the sale at Earlls and, after Steele
was shot, says he picked the pistol up in the road
that he was in company with Richard Davis, of
Colchester--that he went home with Davis and
staid all night with himthat neither of the sir bar
rels was discharged when the pistol was found--that
he discharged three of the barrels, and Davis three.
There are marks upon the pistol which enable Mr..
Edgerlon, who went with Steele, and saw il on the
way to Ears, to identify it positively as the one
Steele had.
The Tribune and some other anti-rent journals,
have attempted kind Of justification for this muir
der, the ground that Steele shot first Steele him
self thought he fred once, and SO thought many
others; but Wright always doubted it. The facts
now drawn out prove beyond doubt that Steele did
not fire.
Four prisoners have been examined, and fully
committed to-day, making the whole number COM
mitted ffty-four About forty are yet to be exam
med. The whole number arrested up to this after
noon 10 a few short of one hundred and fifty.
Among those recently brought in, is Mr.. Jonathan
Ferguson, taken on Dry Brook. He is sepenty.tour
years Of age, treasurer of an anti-rent associa-
ton, and has executed Indian Deeds He eopjssses

New SETTLEMENTs.-We have learned, with
pleasure, that several new settlements have recently
been formed on the western and northern frontier,
and that they are rapidly improving. A settlement
has been formed, within the last two or three
months, high UP on the San Gabriel, near the old
Towazannee fort, about fifty miles north of Austin.
Twenty thirty families are now located near this
fort and il is expected that forty or fifty more will
settle there during the summer. Another settlement
has been formed on the Medina, twenty miles above
Castroville and ten or fifteen families are now loca-
ted at that point. The valley is remarkably fertile,
and capable Of producing large crops ofcorn, wheat:
potatoes, and culinary vegetables in abundance.
Castroville is rapidly improving. There are now
about two hundred mon at this place capable Of
bearing arms; and they are regularly mustered and
drilled every month. They have large fields of
corn, wheat, and hemp under cultivation. Al
though most Of the settlers are Europeans they
have enjoyed excellent health, and generally de-
lighted with their location. II is expected that
a large number Of Mexican families from the Rio
Grande will soon remove to Bexar county, and set
tie in the vicinity Of Castroville and along the Me-
dina.
BExAR--We have received advices from Bexar
as late as the 18th instant. At that time all was
quiet in the city. About thirty Cumanches visited
the city few days previous, and appeared to be
remarkably friendly. The citizens, however, placed
no reliance their promises, but watched all their
movements with great suspicion. These Indians
stated that they had recently made foray into the
Mexican settlements near Laredo, and they exhibit
ed several scalps of Mexicans, to prove that they
had been successful. The main body Of the war
riors under Santa Ana had gone towards the set
Elements above the Preside, and il is supposed that
they are now committing depredations in that
quarter Several traders arrived at Bexar few
days since, and they reported that there were no
troops at the Presidio and none at San Fernando.
The people in that section have pedtoned the gov
eminent for troops to protect them from the incur
sions of the Indians, who are daily becoming more
formidable. Colonel Seguin has removed from San
Fernando TO Monterey, and is now serving under
Arista. Lcal recently visited Laredo, and obtained
several recruits. 1t is said that he has now about
one hundred men under his command, and, when
last seem was marching towards Corpus Christi.
We may, therefore, expect soon to hear that he is
again at his old business-robbing the traders in
that section. The trade Of Bexar is still dull Owing
to the ravagcs Of the Indians few traders venture to
cross from the Rio Grande 10 that city,

LATEST FROM RIO JANEIRO AND THE
RIVER PLATE

The editor of the Patriot learns from correspond
ent, that the United States ship st. Louis, Isaac
Mckeever, esq.,, commander, arrived in Hampton
Roads yesterday, in twenty-nne days and eighteen
hours from Rio de Janeiro This is probably the
shortest passage on record. By this arrival we
have the following important information:
The day before the departure Of the st. Louis
advices had reached Rio Of the entire failure Of the
attempted Intervention, on the part Of England and
France, in the affairs of the river Plate. II waf
said, that on the rejection by Gen. Rosas Of the u
timatum sent in, the English and French ministers
would retire to Montevideo. In the mean time, the
naval forces of the called" powers had taken pos
session of the Buenos Ayrean squadron off Monte
video, and Gen. Oribe, commanding the besegine
army of Gen. Rosas, had received notice to retire
from the Banda Oriental. Great excitement prevail
ed in Buenos Ayres, and it was supposed England
and France would be brought into open collision
with the Argentine republic. During the negotia
tons at Buenos Ayres, the American charge, Mr.
Brent, had offered his mediation. The offer wal
accepted by General Rosas, but declined by the
English and French ministers, on the ground tina
The charge was not instructed or authorized By
his government
Payne, and the brig Fabius, White, of Baltimore
sailed in company with the ST. Louis. The barqu,
Nautilus of and for Baltimore was to sail the fol
lowing day. The frigate Raritan, Commodore Tur-
ner, arrived from Montevideo on the evening pre-
vious to the departure the ST. Louis The frigat,
Brandywne, Commander Parker, would remain a
Rio few days, in consequence fthe illnesssof Mr.
Everett our minister to China who had not decided
whether to proceed in the Columbus, or return tt
the United States in the Brandywne. The disease
with which Mr.. Everett was afflicted, though of Q
painful and distressing character, not consider
ed dangerous.

RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.

The philadelphia Inquirer" says, "the disposi
for war is prevalent in this country to an extra
ordinary degree;" and that ga conflict with Mexico
would rouse spirit in the West, that nothing bn
~, conquest of large portion, if not the whole o.
,b.t country, would appease." This statement Dor
ds.s something the ertraragansa; but Is not 70
/. denied that in a war with Mexico, the United
Gates has only to display its banner on the banks Of
,be Mississippi, and summonits volunteers around H.
and thousands would flock thithsr independently OF
a. TEXANS themselves, to carry the war, at the bid
ding of the government, to the shores OF the Pacihc
M, the government Of the United States, though II
declines no war, will not invite one. II prefers peace

declare war, or should she attempt to strike at US

States will put forth all her strength at once to return

of the assailant.
And damned be he who first cries Hold! enough"
Ar;sa's proclamation, which reached us last eve
ming, sounds amazingly like empty gasconade
I, Is certainly as insulting denunciation of the
United States as any war of words can possibly be
Ri, if he means anything else than pronuneia-
,.,ntO of abusive language-if blows are intended
10 follow his words, it will become our duty to
oaict upon these Mexicans the severest chastise-
nent within our power. Our government does moi
desire war; They would prefer an honorable
neace; but they must be prepared to meet any
contingency that the Mexican brawlers may be mad
sooueh to throw in our way. We are happy
,h.refore TO understand that the renforcements are
.ti advancing. Every day is increasing the regular
force of Gen. Taylor. He is preparing to throw
his advance lines, with the Dragons in 'front.'
first towards, and then upon the Rio Grande
and though he will not interrupt any Mexican
most which is now to the east of the river, ye
he will prevent any reinforcements which the
Mexicans may attempt to throw on this side o.
the river He should, however, employ the utmost
circumspection, and watch the impudent and insd
Gus Mexican. We can further assure the "Phila
dephia Inquirer" that whilst our government will
continue to arm themselves, and will retaliate any
hostile measures which the braggart Mexicans may
attempt to carry into execution, they will not "keeI
the door of concation' closed; yet they will accep
no overture for negotiation which cannot be nc
cepted, nor is likely to be carried out, but upoI
the most honorable and most effective terms.

The steamboat Creole, Captain Heirn, arrived
here yesterday morning, in sixty-two hours from
Arkansas bay, whittier she transported the troops
lately stationed at Pensacola. She left Arkansas on
Sunday evening, the 3lst ultimo.
From the officers Of the Creole and passengers
who left General Taylor's camp on Saturday even
ing last, we learn that up to the time of their de-
parture, nothing had been seen of the Mexican
army, nor were any of its movements known. Sew
eral Mexican traders had arrived at Kinney g
Rancho, near CornNe Chrsti, who brought various
rumors, to the effSd tina, Arista had entirely re-
covered from his late illness, and had taken up his
line of march, with considerable force, to attack
General Taylor. Other reports again represent
Arista as still being at Matamoras, collecting his
men together
