The following paragraph from the
Washington (Ark.) Telegraph, which
is an extract Of letter from Evans
willie, shows a bad tate of things, tru.
ly;-
81 have nothing Of interest to write
you. You will see from the papers
all and more than is true in relation 10
Indian difficulties on our frontier.-
They are bad enough at best. Every
week some one or more ia killed or
wounded. Quite a number Of those
oullawed fellows are hid about ia the
county, committing frequent outrages
at night. We cannot stop it, and the
worst has not yet come; when the
leaves put out, more frequent murders
will be committed. The people Who
remain in the Indian country are in
constant dread Of being murdered, or
of having their houses burned. They
have not patience to see what the U
s. Government will do towards adius.

We learn from the Caddo Gazette,
that Mr.. T. L. Whitehead, Of Mar,
shall, Texas, was cruelty murdered in
that town on the 18th inst. Two men
from Shreveport, named Hodge and
Back, went to Marshall to arrest or
xiii one William T. Jones, alias Till
man, for whom it is said the Govern.
OF o: Arkansas has offered reward oil
$1,000. Having secreted themselves
in house before which Mr.. Whitehead
and Jones happened to pass in com
pany, they threw open the door, first
shot .Ir. Whitehead through the heart
with ten buckshot, and then shot Jone:
two OF three times, completely rid
ding his breast with buckshot. The
murdereFs are yet at large.
Mr. Whitehead, Gays the Gazette,
we know to be gentleman with a:
litl!e malice, and as much Of the mlk
Of human kindness in bis composition

der Col. Irwin, ofGreene county. Ala.

quaintancee, and has been in the prac
lice Of his profession for the last three
years at Marshall, Texas.

Further from the Anly.

We mentioned in our last that Gen.
Worth was on his way to this port
from the Rio Grande on the steamer
Hunter. We have since learned with
great regret, that Gen. Worth has re-
signed his commission 1t isswell un-
derstood in the service that this step
is that old sourbe Of complaint, brevet
rank. But whatever may be the
cause, the whole country win regret
the loss Of Gen. Worth. 1t is no dis.
arrangement to others in the service to
say that, IN the highest and best quail
fications Of a general officer, Gen. w.
has no superior in the army.
Another untoward event 10 the ser.
vice we have to chronicle. On the
morning Of the 10th instant, Colonel
Cross, the acting Quartermaster Cen
eral Of the Army, left the camp on
horseback unattended, on business in
his department.. Not returning with
in reasonable time, alarm was excl
ted in regard to his safety,and parties
were sent out for him, but could OBJ
tain no satisfactory tidings of him.
Three or four days elapsed, and the
gravest fears were entertained for his
life, when happily, through the ener-
~ and adroitness Of an officer of the
dragons, it was asccrtained that Col.
Cross had been taken prisoner by a
party Of Mexican rancheros, consisting
Iof a captain, lieutenant and FIVE men,
and carried off. Not the least appre.
hension is nov entertained for the per.
sonal safety Of Col. Cross, but it is
not known in Gen. Taylor's camp
where he is. Mexican officers posi-.
lively deny that he is in Ma!amoros,
and we must wait patiently for little
while for the mystery to be unravel.
led. But let US repeat, that at last
accounts, the officers in Gen. Taylor's
camp felt no alarm whatever as to the
personal safety Of Col. Cross.--W O..

England and the United States
Let those who are trembling under
the apprehension Of what England
will do, look back at the course Of AN
DREW JACKSON in relation to France.
Three lines from his pen informed
France that unless she promptly paid
the debt justly due us, the peace Of
the world would be disturbed. She
knew the man and the debt was paid
not from, fsar-the French know no
fear-but because Louis Philippe
counted the cost and knezo has opponent,
and his sagacity taught him it was
better topay than to fight. II perhaps
occurred to him also, that it was un-
safe for either France or England to
60 to war with us--not that we are
equal 10 them in armies or navies--
but that the principles Of our govern.
ment are cantagious-that there is a
propogandism in Republics-that
France once imbibed enough Of 1t to
fall into that terrible spasm which
convulsed the world, and gave birth
to the great Napoleon--and that the
spirit of Revolution is abroad-not
dead, not even sleeping, but alive, a
wake, lynx-eyed, s.out.hearted, no.
ping-ever, and ready to strike, when
the fatal hour comes!
Is England less revolutionary than
France? Is there no earthquake y ing
beneath her throne3 Are her ancient
and polluted things on a foundation
~tr'"sy' h'c t'e' people satisfied!
Is their allegiance unshaken? Do
they reverence kings and lords and
feudalism, as they did hundred years
ago? Does the blood-stained banner
of st. George float in IRELAND, over
loyal and cootented peoplef Are her
broad dominions upon which the sun
never sets, safe? Powerful as she is
but reeling under the burden ofone
thousand millions pounds sterling Of
public debt, can she afford to go to
war? Can she find new subjects of
taxation at home? Can she protect
China and Canada-Australasia and
India-Honduras and Oregon-Gib-
raltar and the Cape-and, at the same
time her own coast and towns, inlets
and harbors from assault and confla.
gratlonf
We are young and vigorous peo-
pie. If crippled by war we can recu.
perate. England Cannot. She is old
and gouty. Her system will bear no
tampering. She may live a long
while yet wrapped up in flannels and
doing in her easy chair. But when
this old gladiator attempts to spring
into the arena, before the contest is
over, the twin giants of Democracy
and Revolution will wrestle her down!
And her throne and aristocracy will
disappear forever!
Yet we are hesitating. If she in
fers from this hesitation that we fear
her power--that We are a divided
people doubtful of our strength--there
may be war. But if we desire peace
and justice, the PRESIDENT must be
sustained. The Notice must be pas
sed. We must not pause to ask suhos
England will do?

received the Union of the 18th. A
resolution has passed the Senate by
vote of 40 to IA leaving it d,screiiona.
