from the list of essays presented for premiums.
Since the above was written, we find in oul
exchanges glowing notices Of the Fairs in Rut

The farmers and mechanics are getting the RICH

ready found that improvements in culture ant
management have produced IN increased pro
ducton, worth infinitely more than the monel

Excitement among the Indians.

We regret to learn there is considerable excite
ment among the Sac and Fox Indians, because
of the treatment which they have received from
the United States Government We are told,
but cannot youch for the truth of the report, that
so great is the dissatisfaction of the tribe, and
so impossible has it been to do justice to them,
from the violation, by the United States, of the
treaty stipuations, that the Agent, Major Beach,
VINO has been with them years, has been COM
PEELED to resign his Office. The Sacs and Foxes
for several years past-in fact, ever since the
Black Hawk war-have been peaceable, and re-
lied entirely and implicitly upon the treaty slip
uatons fer support and protection. During the
past summer they visited the Agency-as they
we're accuetomed to do-ior their rations and
their annuiles. But for some unexplained rea
son, neither could be paid them without further
instructions FROM Washington, and they were,
consequently, kept about the Agency, suffering,
not only for food, but for water, until disease set
in upon them, and hundreds have fallen victims
to the neglect of the Commissioner of Indian at
fairs at Washington. So loud, says our inform
ant, became the demand for relief, that the gent
rather than endure the distress which he was
compelled TO witness every day, paid over the
annuites of money without the requisite iLstruc-
ton from the Department, a1d then resigned his
post.
This calamity-if our information may be re-
lied upon, and we know no reason TO dodbt its
entire accuracy-is entirely attributed 10 the in
efectual manner in which the Indian Bureau,
under the superintendent Of the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, Mr. Medill of Ohio, is conduct
cd. This is not the first instance where we have
been Informed of the gross negligence, and in
difference to the calls Of humanity, Justly charge
able against this officer. lie is partizan poll
tcan totally ignorant OF his duties, and of the
character and wants of the people over whom he
Is appointed to exercise conlrol-in fact, it is
said that he gives but little attention to his Of
flee, or its duties, finding more coDgenial amuse-
ments in other parts of Washington. How far
these reports may be strictly accurate, we are
not prepared TO assert from personal knowledge,
but that there are numerous and well founded
complaints, from many of the Indian agencies,
we do know. The Commissioner, in his zeal to
carry out the Sub-Treasury, has stripped the
agents of the power and means of relieving The
tribes when they most require assistance, and
has committed gross injustice upon those who
have trusted to the faith Of the Government.
But, we suppose 1t is wasting time aud paper
te appeal to the justice Of the Government on
such subjects. The King can do no ,orOng, and
tho poor Indian must suffer, without hope OF
improvement in his condition.

WASHINGTON, OCT. Is, lS4I.
There is deep feeling of anxiety in the Adj
ministration, at this time, as TO the condition of
General Scott in Mexico. 1t is apprehended that
he is hemmed in, and placed IN very uncom-
Portable position. But it is stated, by tine proper
officers, that there have, by this time, been sent
to Mexico, two thousand more troops than Gen
eral Scott has, at any time, asked for.
The government called for two additional reg
iments the other day,-one Of them TO rendez-
vous at Detroit, in Michigan, and the other at
Richmond in Indiana.
Some remonstrances have been made by Col.
Fremon,'s friends against the selection Of For
tress Monroe as the place of holding the Court
Martial, in his case, but | presume that no
change will be made in the order. 1t is expect
ed that the Secretary of War, in his report at
the opening of the session, will present a view
of the late transactions in California, and the
conduct OF the officers engaged in them.
Some difficulty exists still, in regard to the re-
lations Of our government OF Brazil. Though
Mr. Tod has made most conciliatory presena-
lion speech, which WIS prepared here BY Mr. Blu
chanan, and was approved by the Cabinet, but
not without some opposition, yet its effect has
been counteracted BY another document, at the
same time communicated, decidedly approving
Mr.. Wse's conduct TO the Brazilian Government.
| have reason TO believe that advices have
been received here, which 90 to show that there
is much doubt whether diplomatic relations will
be continued under the present circumstances.
There is an official letter here from Ma Laly,
which condemns the conduct of Captain Walker
and his command, accusing them Of great exces.
ses, and insubordination.

FROM MEXICO.

The Vera Cruz Arco Iris Of Sept 26, declares
that after Santa Anna evacuated Mexico on the
18th of September, the Mexican leperos COM
menced sacking the city, committing the most
attrocious outrages; that in consequence, two
alcaldes begged General Scott to enter the city
and maintain order; that he did send in force
of 1900 men, which, however, was destroyed by
the eperos, and in consequence Scott lombard
ed the city from the citadel AMI other points with
great destruction, and finally obtained possess
sion Of the whole city on the 10th. This it will
be observed, Is but another Mexican account.
1t is singular that nothing official has yet ap-
peared from our officers.

In the Picayune of the 9th inst we find the
following proclamation of Santa Anna:--
The President Provisional Of The Republic and
COMMANDMENTS Chief Of Tie .army 10 the Ma
ton:
Countrymen. The enemy, avalling himself
of idle pretexts, has determined to commence
hostillties upon your beautiful city. Presuming
us to be dshearluued and Inundated by the re-
verse Of fortune he expected that should sub
scribe q treaty by which the territory Of the Re.
public would be reduced, and the Republic
covered with shame and ignominy. Mexicans
do not deserve a fate so ignomnous and hav-
ing been called upon spontaneously to direct
their destnes, have felt it my duty to respond
with all loyalty to their signal mark of conf
dence, preserving those precious rights which
cannot be alienated, and thus affordlng an exs
ample Of energy and lrmness which are the glo-
ry OF nations.
The enemy had proclaimed that he would pro-
pose Il peace honorable for both nations and il
became our duty to listen to them, that their
treachery might be made known. Their propo-
sitions and all the sequel of the negotiations arc
10 be published, so that the civilized world NAV
see that we are ready to sacrifice all that our
honor would permit US to sacrifce; and that on
the other hand our enemies set up measureless
pretensions, which would have DESTROYED the re-
public, and converted it into miserable colony of
the United States. To such audacity we could
oppose nothing but our firmness and our valor.
Mexicans! You will find me, as ever, leading
in your defence, striving TO free you from heavy
yoke, and to preserve your affairs from infamous
violation, and your daughters and your wives
from the extremity Of insult The enemy raises
the sword to wound your noble fronts; do you
draw it likewise TO chasise the rancorous pride
of the invader.

RAscALiTr. A fellow calling himself Chase
has been about the country representing himself
as the agent of some of the cotton mills in Lowell
and inducing girls to leave their homes under his
protection, promising them employment in that
city in the factories. He succeeded in inducing
several to leave their homes in the Western part
of New York State, who on arriving at Lowell,
found that they had been imposed upon, and were
compelled to get back the best way they could.
One of those whom he had thus cruelty duped,
applied to The City Marsha's Office last Satur-
day, and stated that Chase, under pretencc of
taking care of her baggage, had stolen it and
also Sl5 (all she had) which was in her trunk.
We can hardly believe that humanity Is base
enough to be guilty of such contemplate scoun-
drelism as is alleged against this fellow Chase,
and If il is true, we trust he may not long go un-
whipt of lust Boston MuiL
