"The victories of the English over the sikhs
appear to be the principe feature Of the ntelli-

The slaughter of the Sikhs was terrible.
Ten or twelve thousand Of these brave fellows
and nearly two thousand English troops were
slain and wounded
This battle and this slaughter added TO tho
slaughter twenty thousand Sikhs in pre-.

payment Of one s. half score Of rupees as in.
demny for the expenses of war. The entire
regulation and control of both banks of Sutlei,
and such other arrangements for settling the
future boundaries of the Sikh State, and the or.
ganization of its administration, as might be
determined on at Lahore.
The Oregon question has assumed new
shape in England The parties are dividing

oppose the free trade movement OF Sir Robert

expect to head off his intention relative TO the

on this ground refuses to make public the cor

The Stare Question an the PhHadci-
phia NJ H. COnJereHce.- find IN the
proceedingsofI the Philadelphia Conference
of the NJ lhodst Episcopal Church, as
reported in the u. S. Gazette, the following
in relation to the slave question. which
occurred on the presentation OF several
members for deacons orders:
'The Rev. Mr. Quigly proposed that
each candidate should be asked whether he
was a STAKEHOLDER; and whether he was
engaged in any of the modern movements
for promoting the abolition of slavery; and
none dissenting, the question was Severally
asked as follows:
Bishop III 'ddmg Are yon a stakeholder
TO which, all answered mo-
Bishop HeG1Ing GLORY TO the confer
ence ! not one Of their souls is stained with
the blood of Africa
The Bishop then informed the candidate
that he was about to put a question, the
meaning Of which, before put, he was IN
duty bound to explain rs he understood il.
BY an aboltiouiSt,' in the sense he was
about interrogatively to use II, he meant
not one who was opposed TO the holding
ofmen in bondage for mere gain; for the
purpose ofgrowing rich by slave labor TO
grind the face Of the poor that the master
might be exalted; but he meant those who
uncharitabIy denounce men who happened
to have been born in a slave holding State;
born in the possession or heritage Of slaves;
who treated them well, who nurtured the
sick aud the poor; who did not hold them
for mere gain, but for good: who did the
best they could under the circumstances
After this explanation, the Bishop said that
in asking them II they were prepared 10

any and all circumstances

LATER FROM THE ARMY!
COL. CROSS MURDERED-HIS
BODY FOUND.

bCD ICC ~ -.
The brig ApalachicoIa, Captain Smith,
arrived at this port yesterday from Bras
SOS Bay, whence she sailed on the 9th
ull., aud reports on the 22d she left Point
Isabel, where Major Thomas, the Acting
Quarter, informed Captain Smith that the
body of Col. Cross had been found about
four miles from Gen. Taylor'S camp on
the Rio Grande. From the wounds on
the body il seems evident that he was
killed by lance.
II was further reported that a person in
Matamoras had acknowledged that he was
the murderer, aud had the watch and clio.
thing of Col. Cross in his possession.
Gen. Taylor, it is reported, has made a
formal demand for the murderer.
All open communications were permit.
ted TO pass by the commandant at Point
Isabel between that point and Matamorss.
The Mexican Schr Junialti, from this
port for MalamoraS, was taken into Bra
EOS Bay OF the 22d nit. by the pilots-no
doubt by permission Of the blockading
force.
STILL LATER.-The Schr. Cornelia.
Captain Stark, arrived last evening from
Brdzos Santiago. whence she sailed on the
evening Of tue 9th inst. She reports that
about three hours before she sailed an ex.
press arrived from Gen. Taylor, Stating
that the commander of the Mexican forces
had made a formal declaration to General
Taylor II he did not move his army from
the position he occupied within thity.six
hours that the Mexican batteries would be
opened upon them.
The same express also states that Of that
time body OF 1000 Mexicans had crossed
the Rio Grande near Borella-a small
town about eight miles below Matamoras,
on the west bank OF the river--and taken
up position between Point Isabel and
General Taylor's camp. The design of
this movement Is evidently 10 cut off tho
American troops from their supplies. A
private letier vas also received last even
Ing from an officer IN Gen. Taylor's camp,
confirming IN part the above report Of the
Mexicans having crossed the river, but
stalIng the number al 1000 ouly. There
had previously been 50 many rumors 10
the same effect in the camp, that little re-
lance was placed upon TINS one, which wEs
first communicated by a Mexican, who
was prudenilY detained by order Of Gen.
Taylor.

WAR WITH MEXICO.

We publish today full and autnehtc ihioI'
nation from the Army of Occupation, contr-
matory of past rumors. We are now engaged
in war with Mexico, a war we have not sought,
a strictly defensive war on our part, and war
of uniusti6able aggression on the part OF Mexl-
! co Hostities have begun, American blood
has been shed, and vengeance will only be sa-
tiated when the city of Mexico is in RUNS.
1t appears that a friendly Mexican entered
Gen TayIor's camp, and advised him Of the
presence ola large Mexican force. To ascer-
tain the truth of this report the General de-
spatched detachment of cavalry, which adj
vanced upon the Mexican lines and were fired
upon and taken prisoners, a number having
been killed and badly wounded This assu-
redly is not only aggression, but also pusillanl'
nous trcachery We go into this war with
clean hands, the blood of Mexico is upon her
own head, the alternative is of her own choice.
And what are Mississippians to do2 To lnl'
tate the magnanimous example of Louisiana,
and this war will be triumphantIy terminated
in less than three months. Let US swell the
numbers of the regular army, let us advance
into the very heart of Mexico, conquering as
we move onward, and in one month hence our
flag will wave over her strongest citadels We
have submitted to every indignity from Next
CO, vet we have practised towards her an I'M
exampled forbearance in consideration of her
weakness and her internal discoTds. Had our
aim been conquest; the unprncipled appropra-
ton of territory, Yucatan might have been an
integral portion Of this Union twelve months a
ago, with the assent of her people. But
we were sensitiv,!y guarded against Infringe
ment upon the real rights and Hreroga'lVeS OF
Mexico, sincerely wishing to preserve 10 het
her integrity and independence. She, by con-
tinued insults, by succession Of fragrant outra-
ges upon the rights and the honor OF this ma
ton, has made an enemy of her best friend,-
her friend from similarity in forms of govern
ment, through admiration of her strugg lie with
the ancient Castlian, and through sympathy
with young Republic that once gave promise
Of future prosperity and greatness
But for this war, it is our firm conviction
hat the mass OF the Mexican people are blame
less English intrigue is its inslisator and the
government of Mexico is its dupe. But this
consideration, although it may cause regret,
should quicken our movements and freshen our
energies. Ingratitude and perfdy ever deserve
punishment, and in our conflict with Mexico we
will chastise both. Let Mississippi co her du-
ty, let her sons come back with laurels from
the bauleplains of Mexico, and let her send
more than the required quota of men to the
scene of warfare Would we be behind our
sisters OF Louisiana and Texas in the generous
emulation to defend our frontier from the rava-
ges of the aggressor2 Missssppians, to arms
already brave countrymen are fallen! even
now the havoc is begun patriotism calls up
on you-the cry is "To ARMS" Once more
