passed the House, and been sent to the Sem
ate.
MI. Lewis reported amendments TO the
bill, which were ordered to be pribtcd, and
with the hill laid on the table.
The Supplementary War Bill was taken
up. and postponed ill &c morrow.
Resolutions offered by Messrs. Benton and
Woodbridge, were laid over till Tomorrow.
Mr.. liannegan's resolution for fixing on
2eh July for the adjournment Of Congress,
was taken up.
Mr., Lewis moved TO postpone the consid-
Grafton OF the resolution until Monday next
The call had been made upen the proper au-
thori,ies for plan to get the current expen-
-s-s Of the Government, which had been
very large in consequence of the war. The
Secretary Of The Treasury had been unwell,
and unable as yet TO prepare fiscal stale
meut in answer to the call. The Senate
should wait for that report before fixing up

MIR. Huntington thought Congress had
been in session about long enough lie
hoped The resolution would pass Congress

air. Dayton Withdrew his amendment for
FIXING on The 2OJh June.
Mir. Sewer opposed the adoption Of the
resolution. The House was Just on the point
oftakins up the Tariff Bill, to alter the rev.
enue laws as To meet the heavier expenses
nf the government.
Mr. Crittenden urged the passage of the
resolution. II is time, he said, to adjourn
and contract expenditures.
Dir. flanagan took the same view of the
case. The expenses Of the government now
were very heavy-half million day.
MIR. Morehead advocated The adjournment
GU the day named in The resolution. Nc
earthly good could accrue from the proIon.
CATION ofthe session beyond the Goth July
Indications were that the House would alrel
the present Tariff.
Mr.. Huntington again urged an early ad.
journmenl. aud Mr.. Sewer as earnestly op.
posed an Adjournment early as the Goth Of
July. There was not money enough in the
Treasury TO meet the expenses of the Army
and Navy. When he stated this.
Mr.. Webster said that when he (Mr. W.
stated the other day thai the expenses of the
Government were about half million of dol
lars per diem, he did not speak of his own
knowledge, but from the information he had
frum those who had carefully examined the
subject. Including the vas, cost of uauspor-
tatiun for the Army sui Navy, the sum
would be but little, if any thing. less than the
sum named-hali a million Of dollars perday.
Mr.. W. was in favor Of me passage of The res

TERRIBLE MASSACRE IN TExAs.-A letter
from San Antonio de Bexar, gives deplorable
accounts of murders and roberies committed
on the people inhabiting she Western frontier
of Texas by the Camanches and Lipans.
| Most Of the able bodied men Of the colonies
of Bra1niels, Castrovlle and Lake Quahi.
having Joined the army of General Taylor
the savages, proiting by tLeir absence, threw
themselves upon the old men, women and
children, burnt the houses, the crops of corn,
carried numbers of children into slavery.
The Commercial Association of German
Princes, who undertook to colonize the
mountains of the San Saba, have not been
successful in their plans. They directed a
convoy of one hundred wagons on the route
toward the colony, which was attacked by the
savages. The German emiSrants, after fgh
| ting desperately, were overwhelmed by num-
bers; and obliged to retreat, leaving behind
them a great number Of killed and wounded
in the hands of the savages. The wagons
contained the whole fortunes of the emf
grants. The people say that two companies
ought TO be despatched without delay in pur-
suit of these savages. if the exigencies Of the
service will permit the absence of such force
from the main army When the troops make
ihem-Lut will afterwards return and COM
nit new ravages. A strong body of soldiers
Should be permanently stationed near the set
tiamen; to restrain those Indians. The i'm
providence of the leaders of these colonies has
become proverbla, They are generally land
speculators, who, since the Slave trade is
aboIiehed, have made Il commerce III the
whites. Generally, the emigrants are brought
over in bad ships, aud are made TO pay high
price for their passage-they have no medi-
cal treatment when sick, and on board ship
many OF them die. aud when they land they
are again cheated in the transportation Of
their baggage. We trust The Government
will take these unfortunate emigranis under
their protection-as they were the first TO fly
to arms at the call OF their adopted country.
II is to be hoped that some method will be de-
vised of arresting the oppressive conduct OF
the specializing leaders Of the colonies. IN.

The WAR SPIRIT OF THE WEsT.-The
war spirit spreads like wildfre through the
West; and the question among the military
is who shall stay not who shall so. The
Nashville Wings says:
The Directors OF the Union Eank Of Ten
nessee have rendered TO Governor Brown a
loan of 100000 for the use Of the volun-
teers.'
AT meeting of the Directors of the Nor
thern Bark Of Kentucky it was resolved that
the sum o. $3.50, 900 be rendered to the Gov
ernor of Kentucky, TO enable him to fulfil the
the requisite on for our Army in the South
and he is fully aut no rized to draw for that a
mount il ne should need it,.
Two hundred and forty volunteers left St.
Louis on the 18th for New Orlea ms, where a.
lready the volunteers far exceed the wants Of
the government.

CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON. Friday. June 5.

The resolution of inquiry IN reference ie
the calls for troops. made by General Games
which was offered by MIR. Cass, yesterday
coming up for consideration
Mr.. Cass repeated that he had no Intention
Of cas,ing censure upon General Games
lie knew him TO be an ardent. brave and pat
riotic officer, but he certainly had greatly
trauscended his authority, and II the Presl-
dent had done the same thing. be would de-
serve 10 he irnpe ached Tomorrow. He had
raised 1000 thousand troops, without au
fborny. and in direct violation Of the law ant
the contribution.
Nr Webster observed that the conduct o
General Gaines, if it was such as had beer
represented, was certainly very extraordin
ary. General Gaines was an officer Of expe
riencc aud had heen for along time in com
.uand Of the Western division Of the army
and he conid hardly realize the fact that he
could consent 10 become the instrument OF al
least a violation of law. lie must know Toe
much of the constitution. not 10 know that
TO officer has the power to call out troops
The President alone has power 10 call ouI
troops, and that 10 repeI invasion, but for nc
other purpose whatever. That power he
might delegate 10 the commanding officer o
The army, when there MAS danger Of inva
siun.
Mr.. Webster also wished 10 call attention
especially of those who were charged will
the regulation Of the finances of the Govern
Iaent, TO the expenses Of the war with Mex
leo. He had inquired Of those who knew
Drought 10 know, something about At. and
found that the military expenditures Of the
Government were hardly less than five hun
dred thousand dollars daily.
Mr.. Sewer defended The course Of General
Gaines, which he said ought 10 be applauded
instead OF being censuied. That gallant
retersn was under the impression that Gen
eral Taylor's army was surrounded by the
Mexican forces a. in imminen' peril. and he
called out troops for the purpose of saving
tho army. His conduct met the approval oil
the people Of New Orleans, and would be
approved by the people Of the Union.
MIR. Cass observed that Gen. Taylor had
called for all the troops which he thought was
necessary.
Mr.. S. said that the very troops that had
been raised by General Gaines's order had
enabled General Taylor TO fight the battles
Of The 9Th and 9th Of May. They had ar
rived at Point Isabel in time TO take charge
of that post and relieve General Tayloi's
force. A part Of the forces raised by General
Gaines had been received into the service Of
the U. States.
Mr. Cass had no wish to censurs General
Gaines. but he had acted without authority.
and only ono sixth OF tho force he raised had
been received into the service of the United
States. After the battles Of the Sth and 9th
of May. when the whole danger was over,
General Gaines had authorized The raising of
six Thousand men. Col. Peyton's regiment
hal not been accepted.
Mr.. Johnson of La. said that the course
,ef Gen Gaines WAS highly approved by The
people Of New Orleans, and he believed by

Dear Sir: If an apology should seem to be requir-

trust in the nature OF the contents, and the conf
dence repose in your patriotism, and high sense
OF honor.
When first had the pleasure offormng your ac-
quaintance, you were politically opposed to me.
But although we differed in opinions as to men,
could not. from our conversations, discover that
there was very wide discrepancy in our senti-
ments and feelings as to principles. You opposed
cy, but you did not evidently oppose the great and
leading tenets of democracy, Of which was an
advocate, il understand you correctly. On the
subjects of banking, the tariff, and all the other
vexed questions Of the day, we agreed; or, if we
disagreed at all, it was more about names than es-
sentidls
The presentis a momentous crisis in the politi-
cal history of our State. You have seen the party
with which you recently acted, establish gigan-
tic banking monopoly;you have seen, or you ought
to have seen, that same party assidiously engaged
in system Of legislative policy, which, in the
language Of one of the wisest and purest Of Amer.
can statesmen, must tend Il" to make the rich rich
er, and the poor poorer" leave it to YOURSELF
in the honesty OF your feelings, in your attachment
to republican principles, in your devotion to the
doctrines incuIcated by the sages OF the American
Revolution, in your admiration of the sentiments
Of the great Jefferson. f" Equal and eract justice
to all i'm short, leave it to yourself, as a
lover of rational liberty, and citizen, by choice,
OF the freest republic on earth, what part in the
political drama you ought now to play.
You are German-a German by BIRTH The
natural and uniform tendency of your countrymen,

gied Banner" is to democracy You certainly
cannot stand out alone, in an attitude OF antagonism
to your noble brothers Of the " Fatherland, who
have established their homes Oh American SOIL
and who rejoice in the efficacy, aid yield their

macracy. e'- tf
