Camp WIlitcOmb.

We learn by the Louisville papers, that the Indiana
Volunteers all mustered into the U. S. service
on Friday, the 10Th. There was one company more
than requisite-Capt. McCarty's of Brookville.
Gov. Whitcomb arrived at the camp the 10Th, and
was well received. Mr.. Dunning also present.
The troops were inspected and received by Col.
Churchill. But few were rejected-one from Marion
county, account of misshapen shoulder. 1t is
said that by the help of little padding he got into
another company. Gen. Wool reviewed the troops
the 20th. He stated that their departure would be
speedily provided for. They will be sent in detach-
ments to New Orleans, so as TO avoid remaining long
at that place. The men generally well, though
they do not relish the river water, which they are
Obliged to drink. They will soon become accustomed
to that.
The New Albany Bulletin of the 23d says-We
understand that the following companies formed
into regiment yesterday, by agreement Cass Coun-
ty Volunteers, Capt. Upton; Mad Anthony Guards,
Capt. McLane; Wayne Guards, Capt. Lewis Wa
bash Rangers, Capt. Wilson; Switzerland Rifemen,
Capt. Carter; Washington Guards, Capt. Ford Mad

Oregon Trcaty---Frcnch Opinion.

The Albany Atlas translates portion of a recent
article in relation to the proposition of the British
Government for an adjustment Of the Oregon qucs-
tion, from the Courier des Etats Unis the French
paper in New York. The Courier, which assumes
that the Senate will hasten to raty these TERMS and
that the people will hail them with acclamation
yet hardly dare to believe that they offered. 1t
gives to the English offer importance and signif-
cance, which, though exaggerated, it is well to pre-
sent, as the opinion of neutral and disinteresed
party.
sit cannot be dissimulated, that if the American
Union obtains the 49th degree in Oregon, the
sion will be the side of England. Until the day
of MIR. Folks arrival into power, the preensions of
the cabinet at Washington reac beyond the
49th and the cabinet of ST. James had always sernly
repelled these pretensons. Mr.. Polk has judcously
spoken of the 54th degree, but his was the tactics
which demands much, in order to obtain little. No
regarded it seriously, i'll these latter times above
all, since it has been brought TO light in the discus
sions of the Senate 1t is England, then, which re-
cedes.
"But to recede, in one movement, in Oregon and
California is too much The annals of England have
no example of similar prudence. If she has given
it 10 the world now it is because the eve of publicity
has not been able to sound the depths of her internal
wounds because that eye has not been able to appre
ciate the weight of the chains which bind her

peace, signed by England with the Union 1lhe
sound of the directed Matamoras t is that
! Sir Robert Peel, decided beforehand concede the
49th degree TO the United States, has found in the
events of Mexico, to hasten his capitulation
in order to purchase at this price the right inter-
vene, as friend, between the begerent powers and
to arrest in its beginning, confagration the
/ quences of which alarm his thought But England
knows America too well TO deceive herself in this
spect. Yielding point, she is therefore resolved
to cede both. This we must admit to the shame OF
her past greatness and to the glory of the present
future greatness of this country The day when this
triumph of the American shall take place, great
fact will have been manifested in the face of the two
worlds. England will have descended from her throne
over the maritime nations and the Union will have
mounted to her place The gigantic destinies of the
latter will have henceforth counterpoise in the bal
ance of the future. She will have in the world
no other restraint than her own wisdom and modera
ton"
