Head Quarters Oft the 18th Divis. Mo. Militia,
near Lower Lake, Platte CO., Mo. Jan. 10, AZ. {
Capt. Moses H. Simonds, commander, of a
company Of Mounted Volunteers in the 10Th
Regiment, in the I'd Brigade Of the 18th
Division, Mo. Militia:
SIR You are hereby commanded that you,
with your company Of one hundred men, take
immediate and requisite steps to cause to be re.
moved from beyond the bounds Of this State,
The Fox Indians, or any others who may be
found lurking about or encamped within the
counties Of Gentry and HARRISON or any other
counties in the Northern frontier OF the State OF
Missouri. You will cause said Indians to be
passed over The River Missouri, at or near the
town OF St. Joseph, and you will pursue as
gentle means as possible with said Indians, so
as 10 be enabled 10 consummate this order.
Given under my hand the day and year first
above written. THOMPSON WARD,
Maj. Gen. Comd't 18th Division Mo. Militia
II appears that Gen. Ward received in.
formation that the Indians mentioned in
the above 'order" were roaming about the
counties mentioned, committing depreda
tons upon the peaceable inhabitants, "aidec
and comfortcd" by sellers of whskey, who
followed in their wake"
We think the General had better order
ed the volunteers to run out the whiskev
venders;-but that would not have been
declaration of war, nor then could he have
had the glory of taking the enemies coun
try, holding military possession thereof, ap
pointing officers of State, &c, which we
presume he will do, as it is fashionable
nowadays.
Where is the Governor?

LEGISLATIVE.

We are without news from Jefferson, in
the shape of correspondence. The papers
contain mass of proceedings, thrown to-
gether in such a style as to render it almost
impossible to make head or tail of them.
Both Houses are pressing business, as the
session draws to a close, and without re-
porting what either is doing or has done
the session being so near through-we shall
wait and see what they both finally agree
upon, in reference to the constitutional
amendments, and other subjects, which
were postponed until this late day. The
Senate and House have adopted different
plans of apportionmont; we hope next
week to be able TO give the plan finally
agreed upon by both. The elective judi
ciary amendment, il is thought, will fail.
The recommendation Of the Metropolitan,
TO submit the rejected constitution to the
people again, it seems met with enough
fovor from one member to cause him 10
introduce it into the Houso-but it met
with such decided opposition as to cause
the gentleman, Mr.. Hunter, to withdraw
il Rather bad tune the organ raised
that time.
Boon's Lick times. [volume] (Fayette, Mo.) 1840-1848, 1847-02-13


CoNGREssroNAL.-Int the Senate, on the
9th, the Treasury Note Bill was passed,
finally, by a vote of AZ TO ,, with amend.
mcnts.
The resolution of Mr.. Cilley, for with
drawing our troops from Mexico, was laid
on the table by an unanimous vote. mir.
Calhoun wasnot present when the vote was
taken. Whether this absence was inten-
tional or not, it is quite impossible to de.
termine.
The Army Bill, which was pending in
the Senate when the Treasury Note Bill
supplanted it, will be next taken up. 1t has
already been amended, and must go to the
House for concurrence in the amendments
In the House, the resolution requiring the
President to distribute medals among the
officers and men of the French, Spanish
and English vessels, who exerted them
selves so bravely and handsomely in efforts
to save the survivors from the wreck o
the brig Somers, was adopted.
The bill increasing the pay of voun
tecrs, and granting them bounty in land
was also adopted.
~ The Senate amendments TO the Treasury
Note Bill were then agreed to, when TIT
House adjourned.

JEFFERSON CRY, Feb. 9, 1S47.

MeSSrS. Benson d. Green-The last number
OF the Times contains an article on the sub.
jcct Of the personal beauty of some Of the mem.
bers OF the Lower House Of the Legislature
This thing of personal beauty has been long ago
admitted 10 be a matter OF tase-and different
persons have different views on the subject
Solomon compared the eyes Of his lady.love to
the fish pools Of Heshbon her nose to the tower
of Babel which lookeh towards Damascus, and
her hair to flock Of goats on Mount Gilesd.
We admire Solomon's taste so far as the toweriue
nose is concerned, but respectfully differ with
him, however, in his notions about eyes, AS TO
the hair the taste Of modern times approves Of
the manner OF wearing il which makes the indi.
vdual appear as much like a goat as possible.
The idea is no doubt derived from Soomon's
songs. Amongst the members of the presen.
Legislature it has been frequently remarke ed tina,
the Senator ircm Boone is more distinguished in
this respect than any one about the Capitol. Dr.
ring the contests which have taken place in the
Senate on the subject Of personal beauty. tbs
claims Of tho Senators from Madison, Macon
and Boone, have been frequently canyassed =
The Bull of Bashan claiming the palm on az
count OF his ro'undiIy of person-the Senator
from Macon on account OF his delicate ne,son
and the majestic curl Of his lip-while the San
a'Or from Boone, relying confidently UPON Ri.
soatee-wllhout ever presenting the claims or h.
lo,eer,ng nose-has borne off the victory and
tellred from the lists, the admitted conqusror-

THE MAILS.

There is at this time more irrcgularity
in the mails than has perhaps ever been
known since the establishment Of our gov.
ern,ucnt. The whole department seems to
be out of gear; and this arrangement, il,
seems, is not confined to any particular Sec
ton, but is general throughout the country.
1--WE scarcely ever get full mail here, and
miss entirely at least one of the three eastern
mails due US weekly; and the same may be
said of the western mail. Cave Johnson
and abou, ,wo-,hirds of his deputies, de-
serve to be turned out of office forthwith,
and their places supplied by men who have
the capacity and disposition TO discharge
their duty.

GEN. TAYLOR'S LETTER.

We publish to-day letter from Gen.
TAYLOR, which recently appeared in New
York paper. 1t is understood that the
letter was addressed to Gen. Gaines. The
appearance of this letter created great OK
element at Washington, and much indig
nation was vented on the old Hero, by
the hangers-on. The Union exceedingly
regrets its publication. The following,
among many other notices which have
been taken of the General, since the ap.
pearance Of his letter, will enable the reader
to appreciate the regrets of old father
Richie.
The Baltimore Patriot says ..
Ii is now manifest that systematic effort has
been made by parties in Washington to do hin,
wrong and tarnsh bis fame But they will find,
now that their conduct is exposed, that though they
may continue TO do him wrong, they will not be
able to dim, by their breath OF Islander and de.
traction, the bright glory of his NAME The let
ter finds hearty response in the press, and the
