0r The Southern District Chancerv
Court commenced its first term in this
place on the eth ult., Vice. Chancellor
SMILEY. presiding. A large number of
eminent gentlemen Of the ''long robe'' are
present from distance in addition to our
local bar, and it is anticipated tina, the term
may continue until Tuesday Of next week
Business in this important branch of juris-
prudence is mani(esty on the increase in
this region; and, judging as we do that the
influence of equity in preventing the iniu-
ry which will arise at times from the ina d.
equacy of courts of common law to grant
relief, is of most beneficial tendency; we
are pleased that this Is the case.
We but echo the opinions of the bar
when we say that Chancellor Smiley has
given great satisfaction to all so far, and
bids fair TO make worthy successor TO the
eminent lurist who last presided in the
Ciancery Court here. The trying and
weighty la5ors o. the station considered.
we would at all times look with a. enient
eye upon occasional short comings and er-
rors; but if Chancellor Smiley is enabled
by health to prosecute his duties with the
industry and application which has so far
distinguished him here, we doubt not from
his evident abilities but that he will become
eminent as an equity jurist.

Later From the Army ---- -CaIrargo Taken

The steamship Fashion, Capt. Fullerton,
| arrived last evening from Brazos Santiago.
We have not received our letter by this
arrival, but we learn verbally that there is
general movement of the troops up the
Rio Grando. Gen. Taylor was still at
Matamoros, but he was sending forward
the recruits as fast as his means of tran.
sPorta'Ion would permit him to do so.
Advces had arrived of the taking of the
town OF Camargo. Six companies of the
7th Regiment entered that place day or
two before the Fashion sailed, without
firing gun. These companies were un.
der the command of Capt. Whiting and
others. When the U S. troops arrived at
Camargo, Col. Cara aabal was on the op-
poslte side of the St. Juan river. He wit-
messed the entrance of the troops into the
town, but offered no resistance.
Gen. Taylor had received reports from
reconnaissance parties, who reported only
three hundred troops at Monterey. The
general impression in the army was that
! there would be no resistance offered to tho
American forces this side of that CITY. No
preparations for an attack of the town were
made.
The absence OF every thing that indicat.
ed resistance on the part of the enemy had
led TO the belief in the army that the war
was at an end. The impression was that
negotiations for peace were on foot. There
was no other way of accounting for
the apparent supineness of the Mex.
leans.
Reports had reached the camp that Pa.
redes was afraid to leave the city of Mexi-
co-hls presence there being necessa.
ry to keep down threatened revolu-
ton.
Occasional broils between the Mcxicans
and Texan volunteers occurred. The re-
gular soldiers exeried every means for the
protection ofthe citizens, who were promis.
ed security and sapport in case they con-
duct themselves in peaceable and inoiIen-
sive manner.
There was Il runor IN camp thai Mr..
Lumsden and has party had been inter.
cepled and cut off by some of the In
dams. The report was not generally
credited.
The army was suffering from diarrhoa,
but Otherwise were well.
The Fashion left Brazos Santiago last
Tuesday and experienced heavy weather
on the trip. The Sea left l8 hours before
the Fashion and has not yet arriyed.-N o.

The American Flag, composed OF
thirteen stars and thirte en- stripes. was
first adopted by resolution of the
Continental Congress-, on the 18th
June, TIT. On the 18th January.
1854, after two new States had been
admitted, Congress ordered two add.
tlonal stars and stripes; but in 1917,
it was resolved to reduce the stripes
to the original thirteen, and have a
star for every State, and this is now
the lawful flag of our country. Stars
