scheme he warmly favored, as this
would not materially interfere with his
projects. Another thing; we are more
than half inclined to believe that Aris-
ia has been deeply engaged in the
smuggling business between Texas and
Mexico, Notwithstanding all his procla-
nations against the contrabandists, and
that a large party Of the latter have
had his secret protection on both sides
the Rio Grande, and all for consider
alton. The appearance of the U. S.
troops in the southwest ofTexas will
in a measure break up this traffic, and
this undoubtedly chafes him. He is a
tall, raw-boneG man, red.headed and
with sandy whiskers, and looks like
Scotchman. We know nothing Of his
parentage, but he would certainly not
be taken for a Mexican.
The traitor Seguin was at Monterey
short time since. on his way to Cam
argo. He styles himself captain of the
Bexar company, and probably has
number of San Antonio Mexicans un-
der him. Seguin was on the Texan
side at the battle of San Jaclnto, and
for long time was hand and glove
with the Americans; but in an evil
hour he deserted them, and it is said
that he now bitterly repents him ofhis
treachery.
The above are all the items of the
least importance we have been able to
CLEAN from our inforlnants. If we can
believe the Mexican stories, 10000
men are to advance upon the Rio
Grande; but these stories must be taken
not with grains but pounds of allow
ance.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

Bv the arrival of the mammoth iron
steamer Great Britain at New York
we have Foreign News seven days
later than our advices by the Cambria.
There is nothing new from the cot.
ton market. The quotations by pre-
vious advices are sustained, and with
out any advance, prices are noticed as
firm and steady. The sales ofthe week
ending July 25, were about $4,000
bags, an average of over 5000 daily.
The prospect of continued business
prosperity was inducing dealers to in
crease their stocks; from conviction
that market had seen the "lowest fig

HOUSEKEEPING.


There is perhaps no event that has recently taken
place, that has been more extensively chronicled
through the press, than the races between Fashion
and Peytona, over the Long Island and Camden
Race courses. At each trial of speed, the purse
was $S20 900. Private bets to the amount of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars were made, lost and
won. 1t is supposed that not less than five hun
dred thousand persons were at each of the races
a large number of lady-sportsmen were on the
ground.
The practice Of horse-racing is most inhuman to-
wards the animals themselves. We have seen il
stated in an Eastern paper, that the rider of Pey
so ncessantly that her lacerat ed sides became SC
calous, that he had I'd change his seat in order to
get ne,o flesh.
Major Noah, editor of the Sunday Times and
Messenger, in speaking OF these races, makes the
following just remarks:
Horse-racing is decidedly low amusement. II
has. following in its train, all the low pleasures
which transform men into heartess demons, deso-
late the homes of the happy, impoversh persons of
weak intellect, and furnish the sharper with his
means of living 1t is welded to gameing, rob-
bory, frauds of all kinds, drunkenness and debauch-
cry. 1t excites mems worst passions and extin-
tages it has not one commendable quality. If, as
some one remarked the other day in our hearing, it
improves the breed of horses it degrades the race
of men, Better have an inferior race OF horses than
make beasts of men in endeavoring to improve it.
lts evident to US that the two last races were de-
signed to pluck the pigeons Fashion, before the
first race, the favorte, and every better, out
of the initiated confrerie, staked his money on her
qualities. She was conquered! Peytona was then
the favorlte, and the green ones, to retrieve their
losses, wagered their substance on the merits of
Peytona! Then Fashion won 1t is plain to any
one who does not look through unnatural eyes,
that these two results were arranged and determn-
ed on for the basest Of purposes Why, this horse
racing business supports half the gamblers and
blacklegs in the Unien. At two races like those
which have recently taken place, millions of dol.
lars change hands, and rest assured these millions
60 from the pockets of the verdant and unwary in
TO those of the depraved and wicked. If the peo-
pie must be excited let it by bull fights, public ex-
ecutions any thing but this immoral, horrible system
of horse-racing, with its countless items of atten-
dant wickedness.
The accident that occurred on the Camden
Course, might have been avoided Too many
people were put on the stand. The managers
knew there was danger; but what cared they'-
They had the money. 81

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. IS, IS45.
DEAR SIR:-It becomes my painful duty to in.
form you of the death of WILLIAM KENDALL,
SON of Amos Kendall. The circumstances attend.
ing his death as far as can learn these. This
evening about half past five o'clock. young Ken
dali, friend of his by the name of Bailey, and a
young man by the name of Elliott, elliott being a
brother-n-aw Of John C. Rives,) were in James
Drug store on the corner Of I4th street. There
had been some misunderstanding or quarrel be-
tween Kendall and Elliott some time ago. They
began TO talk it over, and Kendall in reply to Eli
oft ca alled him coward. Elliott then called Ken
dali id liar. Kendall told him not to say
that again or he would black his eye. Bailey then
commenced on Elliott as the friend of Kendall,
and went toward S him. Elliott then pulled out
six barreed revolving pistol, (Which lie had in the
mean time got at Taylor's Book Store, having
gone there, got the pistol went TO another store,
got the powder and buckshot, loaded the pistol and
went back to James, and shot Kendall just above
the heart, which caused his death in about tv or
three minutes. Elliott then fired at Bailey and
ran out into the street; Bailey followed him and
was again fired at by Elliott and missed. Bailey
st ill following was fired at the third time and mis-.
sed, and again the fourth time and hit above the
elbow of the left arm shattering the bone badly
Bailey then picked up a stone as Elliott snapped
the remaining barrel at him, which, If it had went
of, would have undoubtedly killed Ba iley, he be-
ing very near him. Elliott then turned and run
into Fuller's Hotel, the stone thrown by Bailey
hitting the door. Elliott ran through the Hotel
and jumping fence got into hack, and made his
escape, about half past six o'clock. The hack
driver who carried him away was arrested about
ali hour afterwards. et
Mr.. Amos Kendall is in New York Young Mr..
Kendall, thought, was one Of the mildest young
men I ever knew. HH tg--"sra

FROM TEXAS.

We learn from the New Orleans Picayune of
the Sd inst, that the business of the Texas Con-
vention is progressing rapidly. It is thought that
the members will get through with every thing by

has at this time probably adjourned. %
The Pcayune gives the following summary OF
the doings of the Convention in relation to the
formation Of Constitution: 1Y d
The various committees in the Convention at
Austin have reported the different provisions for

published at length in the Civilian Of the 3Oth ult.

ANTI.RENT PARTY.

A murder has been committed lately
in Delaware County, New York, by
company Of men dressed as Indians.
A man named Moses Earl had refused
to pay his rent, due to Caroline E.
Verplanck, and Sheriff Moore, with as
sistants went to distrain, IN due couIse
OF law, and in the execution of their
duty. Upon their arrival at the place
where the property was, they found
people collecting with their DISCUSSES
in bundles under arms. In short
time these people having retired to the
woods, re-appeared, disguised as Indi-
ans, although they were by no means
careful to conceal their faces.
The officers then proceeded TO do
their duty by offering the property dis
trained for sale, when the anti-rent par
ty fired upon the officers and their
men, killing officer Osman N. Steele,
and some horses.
A correspondent ofthe Albany Even
ing Journal adds:-"Something must
be done. The people are becoming SO
enraged that they will not submit to it,
and if thorough h measures are not set on
foot by the State authorities to protect
our officers and citizens in the discharge
OF their duty, and to ferret out these
men who have thus butchered faithful
public officer in broad day, there will
be imminet danger of a civil war;
Hundreds OF men are already talking
seriously of turning out to murder and
shoot down those who are suspected,
and unless something is done, and these
outrages continue, depend upon it no
efforts can restrain our citizens whose
motto will be vengeauce and not JUS
ice."

From the N. Y. Herald.
OUR RIGHT TO OREGON-IS 1T AN IN
CONTESTIBLE ONE?


1t is stated in the Union, that the
Oregon negotiations between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain have
been freshly opened. That paper also
informs US that the Secretary of State
is lndefatigable in his correspondence;
and Father Ritchie throws out the hint,
with no little Indignation, that the Penn
sylvania statesman has not yet brought
his opinion of our right to the whole
territory down to the 49th degree. If
this were true, it would be worth some
thing TO the friends Of Oregon. But is
it true? ........
In this uncertainty in the matter it
will be well enough to look little into
our ''incontestibe right" as it is called.
Our superior claims to the whole OF
Oregon-to the boundary line of 81 40,
as arranged with Russia, are not uni
versally understood IN this country
not even by all those who unheslta-
tingly assert our right TO the whole;
and we, therefore, by way of an i'm
prints place the matter, briefly, in our
columns, IN order to give to the public
clear view Of the question. All this
in unwieldy pamphlets and public doc
uments, has been published, but active,
energetic Americans, who are seeking
fortunes, have only time to read news
papers, after they have once started
upon active business pursuits.
This matter. in all its ramIfcations,
is thus arranged in our minds according
to unimpeachable testimony.
