THE LADY's Book, for January has bee

THE LADY's Book, for January has been
on our table some days. 1t has put on a
new dress for the new year, and is well
filled by articles from the pens of the best
authors OF the day. The Paris Fashions
"Americanised," and other engravings, are
decidedly superb. No lady can keep pace
with the Fashionable World without it.
The Lady's Book one year, and either of
the Reprints of Blackwood's Lady's Mag
azine, or the London World of Fashion,
will be sent to any person forwarding SO,
and the Lady's Book will be sent one year,
and copy of the New Annual, "The Foun.

INDIAN BATTLE.

The Republican learns by private letters
from Bellevew, that there was quite des.
perate battle between the Indians near
Council Bluffs recently. On the night of

party Of Yancton Sioux Indians defeated
and destroyed fourteen lodges of the Oma i.
ha tribe of Indians, located at the time at
Woods Bluffs, situated about sixty miles
from this place. elleview. The men and
warriors of the Omahas had left the camp
on hunt; and the Sioux, soon after thew
attacked the camp, discovered that thew

with. The slaughter was terrible--seyentu.

THE MAILS--NEWS.

The mails are very much out of gear a,
this time, and as natural consequence,
news is scarce.
The Eastern mail for this place was a
a partial failure on Thursday. The "Unon"
arrived, but the EZRA" and Republican
failed-whle nothing was received cast of

mail at ST. Louis for upwards of a week.

The late California Revolution

"This revolution originated in an attempt,
on the part OF the Mexican authorities, to
drive out the Americans who had settled
here, on the plea that they had not com
piled with the laws of citizenship. These
laws require that every one, who would
possess an interest in the soil, should mar
nv native Of California and become mem
Der of the Roman Catholic Church. These
laws could not be complied with, unless the
eInigrant would consent to repudiate his
wife and his religion Reduced TO this ex-
lremity, they took up arms, and they are
resolved never to lay them down ill Cali
fornia shall be free and independent re-
public Their first step will be TO connect
themselves with the United States even the
English emigrants openly avow this.
There are not as ! can learn, twenty
families in California, save those connected
with the Mexican government, who do not
openly or secretly encourage the rev olution.
Every week brings report of some new
village haven risen and run up the Ameri-
can flag. One of the Mexican projects, who
owns large extent of country and com.
mands grea. many tenants, has fortified his
castle and run up our flag" .

GEN. ScorT's MARCH. BY a private letter
from prominent officer in Gen. Scouts army,
says the New Orleans Della Of the POD inst,
we learn that the General does not expect 10
reach the Capital in less than fifteen days. He
left Puebla on The 7lh of August. This is the
22d, and it is highly probable that on this very
day Gen. Scott is making his uiumphal entry
into the famous city of the Aztecs.
