clared that he could not vote for the one which
says that VIM. B. Foster" The candidate for
oanal Commissioner, was ain every respect
worthy OF the confidence of the people" Mr..
NJ said he could not support lha, resolution.
He did not believe Iha, Mr. Foster wa, worthy
of confidence. He said he had been nominal
ted by management: ,ha, he bad withheld an.
poinimenls upon the public Improvements IN
order TO secure his nomination. and that he
had used his Office 10 effect lha, object; and
that to this day. he had no, made certain ap-
poinIments to fill Offices which were now hell
by men who had given mol one cent of security
TO the State. He could not approve such CON

Mr. Monaghan went on in this strain; but we

LATER FROM THE ARMY.

We are indebted TO the New Orleans papers
for Extras containing late advices from the ar
my. The dates from Brasos Santiago are TO
the 24'h August:
Captain Duncan, with small party Of Tex
an Rangers, had recently returned 10 Camargo,
after having secured the country on the other
side The San Juan as far as Seralvo, pleasant
town half way to Monterey. On the second
day Capt. McCuloch was sent into Mier very
much indisposed. The nigh. before. he shot
a Mexican, who was caught on an American
horse and who attempted to escape by running.
The fellow broke through the chapparl, and
made good race for bis life; bu. McC. was
TOO fast for him. On the second night, after a
forced march Of great length, Capt. Duncan
threw his men al different points around the
town of Punla Asuda, having learned lha, a
Mexican officer named Ramirez was in the
place with detachment of recruits for Canales
So complete was the surprise that Capt. D. was
enabled 10 reach ball room in the centre of
The town, where grand fandango was then in
full blast, without soul suspec,ing his ap-
proach. His objec. was TO take any Mexican
officers prisoners, ,ha. nigh, be there stationed
in the place, and supposing that they might be
at the fandango, he ordered all within the room
not 10 move, after telling them, in the first place,
that every avenue TO the town was guarded by
the Rangers. Notwithstanding this order, some
Of those inside the room went covertIy out, and
endeavored TO leave the town; but one of them
was shot dead in The attempt, and another had
his arm shattered by rifle ball from one Of the
Texans. The latter was brought back TO the
fandango room, where his wound was dressed
in one corner, the dance going on the while al
the request of Capt. D., although with not as
much spirit as i. might. Finding lha. he could
get hold Of no prisoners Of importance, the COM
mander of the party continued his march 10
Seralvo, arrived there without hindrance or mo.
Ieslalion, and after an examination of the place,
returned in safety by way of Agna Legnes and
Mier
Another correspondent, speaking of the warm
weather at Camargo, says that on the 18th, the
atmosphere, the earth and the limestone walls
seemed to be on fire. The troops nevertheless
were in tolerable health. There are now IL, ;.
900 volunteers and 5000 regulars on The Ric
Grande. The camp just below Camargo, wa.
over mile long, the line of tents averaging
about twelve deep. The marching hereafter
will be principally done at night. Il was re
ported at Camargo that a large body of Mexi
can troops had already assembled at Monterey
bu! this we doubt. 1t was though. tina, the ar
my would move towards lha. place by TWO sep
arate rouls.

CoNGREss.-The consideration Of the Ore
gon question, in the Senate, has been set
for the 10th February.
The animated and exciting debate on
the resolution Of Mr.. IngersoIl, providing
for notice of the termination of the Joint
occupancy of Oregon, was still continued
at the last dates. The resolution will
pass the House, but its fate in the Senate
is doubtful. We regret to observe some
doubts expressed as to whether the entire
delegation from this State will vote for the
notice. The almost universal sentiment
here is, that the notice should be given
and tho American title to tho whole terri
tory asserted and maintained, with the
same disregard of consequences as if the
controversy was with Mexico instead of
Great Britain.
For our humble self, we agree with the
Baltimore Convention and Mr.. Polk that
The American title to the whole of Ore
gon is clear and unquestionable" and
with a plain-spoken Western gentleman,
who lately made speech in Congress, that
Z" after all that has passed, it would be dis.
graceful and degrading to surrender one
foot of the territory.

Gr Mr.. billiard, a wing member
from Alabama, made most eloquent and
able speech in the House on the 10Th, on
the Oregon question
Mr.. Hilliard believed that there was
not single break in our title to the whole
of Oregon from the 40th deg, up to $40.
Yes, so clear was it. that were it not tor the
colossal power OF Great Britain, and the
nefari1us manner in which she has been
accustomed to conduct her negotiations,
she would have long ago retired from the
contest, overwheI nned ty the iorre OF the
argument in our favor. Our condition
relative to Oregon, required prompt, &c,
sive and comprehensive action. Ii we
delay much longer war would be inevIta-

The HudSon's Bay Company was there
with their authorities, and why could we
not have our magistrates there to give as.
sist and protect our settlers? He next ad-
verted TO the connection Of Missouri with
Oregon by railway. By this means we
should be able TO reach Canton in 40 DAYS
whereas it took 10 days to reach that place
from London. Thus we shall be able al
most Ia monopolze the trade with China.
In addition to this, the wires of the mag
netc telegraph could follow the railway,
and by this means we could receive a;
our eastern cities, intelligence OF the safe
ty of our [ndamen, whaleships, &c. which
might touch at Oregon. Considering this

paramount importance. He next showed
