CALFoRNIA.-Letter writers from Washington say
there is disposition at that place to conclude a
treaty of amity with Mexico, without the acquisition
of California. England and France would necessarily,
desire to shut out from the possession of San Fran
cisco, the most desirable position the Pacific but
this very indication is the strongest reason why it
should be pressed with zeal our part. Should
the war continue against Mexico, it must inevitably
fall to lot by the right of conquest recognized by
civilized nations.

For the Indiana STATE Seafinel.
Addressed TO the SOn Of n Celebrated
Indian Chfeftafn.

Oh. who has not heard Of the fame of thy sire,
La has noon-,ide Of glory let Loose the world,
And the heroes whose hands in the blaze Of their ire,
Their chiefiain's red banner in triumph unfurled!
Ills life daIkly flowed in the footsteps Of Fame,
And the voice Of his coming twas TO hear,
For the echoes Of glory had bIeathed round his
spiTit that feanully stole on the ear.
And the love Of his heart of Liberty too.
With The hope Of his fathers, on yicloIy's breast,
While the cheek Of the fOcman all pangy grew,
Mid the teaIs Of a nation he sunk 10 his rest
Oh who would live slaves when the cOnquerOrs way
In Freedoms bright day dream is opening fair,
When the Of our hopes is Just bringing the day
OF all we deem lovely and nOuiishng thcie.
Thou far from the land where thy young heroes sleep,
And the wild song Of battle meets thy ear,
And the lips that smiled and the eyes that did weep
Der the grave Of thy promise, are lowering near
May his laurels hang fair The brow Of thy pride,
When the lustre that them has vanished away;
May the star that has frightened his pathway abide,
And llune with its spcndor the close Of thy day.
When that laurel is bighied-thst name is forgot,
May the valo which sleeps in the breast Of the dead
Reknde at that now drcsry spot,
Ere the hour Of thy freedom forever has fed
But live for thy country the storms Of the sky
Leave rainbow behind when its darkness Is gone:
So may thou thy braves when the clouds have passed
Like the waves Of the sunset, roll shiningly on

Yesterday, a Captain from your neighborhood

eloquence of soldier, proclaimng the great truths
of the Gospel and intoxicating the soldiery virtues of

He arose with the conviction that preacher though he
