z1lIye copper
Laree and Silver.

While the rich ores of Lake Sup erior
are almost daily freighted to Boston, a
rock of Metallic Copper and pure native
Silver. weighing more than 1000 pounds,
has found its way to our City, and may
be seen for few days at sc Chapel street
next door to the New-Haven Bank, at the
store Of Messrs. Walker g. Wadsworth.
This specimen is said to far surpass in
beauty of form and rich display of silver
on its surface the one removed from the
West folk of Ontonogon river, few
years since, by Mr.. Eldred, at an expense
of $500. 1t was discovered by an lndi-
an named Tousant Piquet, in the employ
of Major j. b.. Campbell, few miles
eastward Of Carp river, on the Lake shore
where it has, no doubt, for many years,
bufetted the waves of this inland ocean.
Notwithstanding it was found loose amidst
an assemblage of porphorytic and gram
ite boulders lodged upon the Strata Of red
sand sand stone, dipping under the lake,
still the adhesion of portion OF vein
stone shows. evidently, that it was orig
inally an inhabitant of the adjacent Carp
river hills, where regular veins exhibit
ing native copper in places may be seen
on lanes, secured by Messrs. Cowan u
Co. We are informed by gentleman
who has carefully explored the copper
region, that these loose masses of copper
may be traced to their parent veins OF
calcarsous spar and analcime in the con-
glomerate and red sand stone, and OF
Phrenite, Laumonite and Datholite in the
Rock. In this way they become lead
ers or guides to the mineral contents OF
this region, which promises soon to be to
the u S. what the Ural is to Russia
the seat of prodigious industry, and the
sources of inexhaustable mineral treas
| ures.
We recommend to our readers by all
| means to see this rare product of the
kingdom before it is removed from New
Haven; perhaps never to return.

MAPS TO BE ENGRAVED.

Mr.. Cooke, from the Committee on
Engraving, reported the following resolu-
ton:
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of ibis
House be directed to procure the cngra-
wing, as soon as possible, of l6,l35 CO.
pies of a map accompanying the docu-
ments transmitted with the annual Mes
sage of the President OF the United States
al this session.
The resolution was read and adopted.
Mr.. Mcdowell rose to question OF
privilege, and remarked that he had heard
the Clerk OF the House announce the o.
ther day his name TO fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the resignation of his col
league, Gov. Vance, as chairman of the
| Committee of Claims. lie desired to
say to the House that he found his name
on two other committees, and that he was
excused from serving on the third by a
rule of the house.
lie desired TO say further, that there
were circumstances connected with the
| appointment of the committees of this
House affecting the State which he had
in part the honor Of representing here,
which forbade him from serving on any
committee upon which his name was pla-
ced.
Mr.. Daniel, chairman OF the Commit
ice of Claims, stated that Mr.. Stephens
had not attended the meetings of that COM
mittee, and he had been informed by that
gentleman that he did not contemplate It's
sittings. He therefore moved that Mr..
Stephens be excused from service an that
committee, and that member be appoin-
ted in his place.
MIR. Barringer inquired OF Mr.. d. if
he was requested by Mr.. Stephens to
make the motion, and if he knew the rea-
son why Mr. S. had not attended the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Daniel said he did not know the
reasons, nor had he been requested by Mr.
S. 10 make the motion. The committe
had much before it, and it was desirable
to have full committee.
Mr.. Cobb said something as to the
cause of the nonattendance of Mr.. Ste
phens, not heard by the Reporter.
MIR. Barringer said he preferred 10
have the request TO be excused made by
Mr.. Stephens himself, and suggested to
MIR. ID. to waive his motion until Mr..
stephen came into the House.
Mr.. Daniel assented, and the matter
was dropped.
Mr.. Cabb moved the following rosolu-
tions:

a rather different account of the threat

the Barracks, demanded quarters for

the officer in command in no very
courteous terms. Capt. ID. told the
subaltern that he was his superior in

ter. he would take forcible possession
and place him under arrest--on which
the officer shut and secured the gates.
Capt. ID. having ordered his men to
load and fix bayoncts, drew his men
up in line of battle, on the road few

he could no, get an the garrison, they
should not get out-he should in fact
starve him to surrender. The officer
in the inside drew up has men in line

remained at bay, until a surgeon of the

Indian Outrages.

A correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayune, writes from Camargo under
date of July 2sth -
The talk is still Of Indians and In
dian outrages. Day before yesterday
the Camanches attacked rancho be-
tween this and Mier, killed nine Mexi-
cans and took off no less than fourteen
women and children prisoners. Last
night. so rumor has it, they stole up
wards of twenty horses from Gillespie s
men, while they were encamped near
the house of an American living four
miles below this on the opposite side OF
the Rio Grande, besides taking of all
the animals belonging to the rancho
| can hardly credit this i; but should it
prove true it will 90 hard with the
Camanches. Capt. Gillespie's COM
mand is composed PRINCIPALLY OF Jack
Hays old men. and they will not give
up the chase after their horses in a
hurry.
We have another report to the effect
that six Americans, while driving in
beef cattle from Loredo to San Anto-
Mo. were set upon by the Camanches
and all killed, together with fourteen
Mexicans who were in company.
still contend that the Indians have the
right to carry on war on this side the
Rio Grande with the Mexicans. but
this thing Of numbering Americans
upon the high road of Texas puts a
different face entirely upon the matter,
and the treacherous savsges should be
pursued and severely punished at once
They should be told, too. that all the
Inhabitants on the east bank Of the
Rio Grande are under our protection
and threatened with war to extermina
ton if they modest single person.
