DoNIpHAN's MARCH - Extraordinary Inland
Ciiy.--The New Orleans National, in its sketch
of Col. Doniphan's late remar 5lo expedition.
gives the following:
About tho time Col. Doniphan made his treaty
with the Nnvnjos, division of his nd was
entirely out Of provisions. and the Navajos sup
piled its wants with liberalty. A portion of the
command returned to Cuvuno. Maj. Gilpin's
command, together with Col. Doniphan, went
to the city Of the Sumai Indians living on the
Rio Piscow, which is supposed TO be q branch Of
the Geyla, made n treaty of peace between the
Sumais and Navajos, and then returned to the
Rio del Norte.
These Sumais, unlike the Navajos. live in a
city, n,aning, probably, 5000 inhabitants, who
support themselves entirely by agriculture.
The city is one Of the most extraordinary in
the world. 1t is divided into four solid SQUARES,
having but two streets crossing its centre at right
angles. All the buildings are two-stories high,
composed Of sun.burnt brick. The first story
presents solid wall to the street, and is so con.
structed that each house joins. until one. fourth of
the city may be said to be one building. The SO.
cond stories rise from this vast solid structure so
as to designate each house, leaving room to walk
upon the roof of the first story between each
building. The inhabitants of Sumai enter the
second story Of their buildings BY ladders, which
they draw up at night as a defence against any
enemy that might be prowling about. 10 This
city was seen some Albno Indians. who have,
no doubt, given rise to the story that there is Iiv
ing in tine Rocky Mountains tribe Of white abo-
rigines. The discovery Of this city Of the Su.
mai will afford the most curious speculations
among those who have so long searched in vain
for a city Of the Indians who possessed the man.
ners and habits Of the Aztecs. No doubt, we
nave here a race living as did that people whom
Cortez entered Mexico. 1t is a remarkable fact
that the Sumaians have, since the Spaniards left
the country, refused to have any intercourse with
the modern Mexicnns, looking upon them Us ar
inferior people. They have also driven from
among them the priests and other dignitares
who formerly had power over them. and resumed
habits and manners Of their own, their Grea
Chief, or Governor, being the civil and religious
head. The country round the city of Sumai i
cultivated with great deal OF care, AMI afford
food not only for the inhabitants, but for larg
focks Of cattle and sheep.

to Tampico, they determined to effect their 60.
cape. They attempted in small parties Of five
at one time, two at another and five at another.
Seven in all left on the 9th. The first five were
oil retaken and carried back to Huejutla, but one
Of them again escaped and with the other seven
reached Tampico. They marched principally
by night and were from four to six or seven days
on the route.
Ater their arrival Mt Tampico, news reached
there by Mexican that about thirty of the mon
had also attempted to escape; that twenty five
had been retaken, and three others shot in pur.
suit. These were the reports in Tampico, but
our informant does not place implicit confidence
IN them. He has little expectation that Col. De
Russy's expedition will prove of any avail in
procuring tho release Of the other prisoners. He
thinks it certainly will fail, il the intention be to
rescue the men by force. The movement of the
colonel will inevitably be reported to Gen. Garay
in advs nee, and If be does not feel himself strong
enough to receive an attack, he can very readily
send of the prisoners further into the interior.
The fate of these men is greatly to be deplored,
and we cannot but think there has been remss.
ness on the part of Gen. Scott in not obtaining
their release. With number of Mexican off.
GERS in our power, we would have brought that
Government to sense of its obligation to our pri.
soners, by hanging up some of their own to the
first tree.-N. o. Pic, l6ih inst.

Hon. JOSEPH SIMoNps, aged 81 years.
Mr. Smonds was native of Charlcstown, n. H.
About 16 years ago he moved, with his family, to
Whiting, Vt, and established hhmselfin the mercan-
tile business, which he has since successfully fol-
lowed.
He has been taken away in the midst of his useful
ness. Few men i'll Western Vermont have distrib-
uted an equal amount of money among the farmers,
for their cattle, horses, sheep, wo) and in fact for
all kinds of produce they had to part with. With
him they found ready market and fair price. He
had quick and sound judgment, and was emphat-
icnlv n business man. Honesty and perseverance
appeared to be his motto. In the management of
his business he CONFIRMED his Ee to the great laws
of rectitude and justice, assuming as right rea-
sonable profit He never knowingly wronged man

credutv of customer He ever conducted his bu-
sincss with that gentemanly bearing and integrity
which commanded the respect andadmiraton Of all

Of hundreds with whom he had deal, not only in vt.
but in N. II. and N Y. there is not the man who can
recall a transaction of his life unworthy of gen

would be likely to renew them; and no one was
more successful than he in retaining the confidence
and esteem of his numerous customers.

him well and intimately for years, and am assured
that his death will fill the hearts of thousands with
deep emotion and Sorrow while they will drop the
sympathetic tear. He was easy in his manners ;
gentlemaniy in appearance, and was the life and an
imation of the circle of acquaintance in which he
moved. lie was liberal and philanthropic; proven
bially so. Was there a house of public worship to
be erected, repaired; preacher of the gospel to
be hired; Improvements to be made in the public
highways, or any benevolent object to be accom-
plished, his influence and purse went hand in hand
and the work was at once accomplished.

led to see his lost and undone condition, by nature
He looked to God through Jesus Christ for pardon.
lie sought not i'll vain, but found peace and joy that
the world knows not of. He bore his sickness with
christian fortitude and resignation and could say in
the language of the Apostle "For reckon that the
sufferings of this present time not worthy to be
compared with the glory which is to be revealed to
u.s." As he closed his eyes on earth forever, it was
blessed consolation to his friends to feel the assur-
ance that his spirit would rest in of those many
mansions prepared for the pure in heart.
Consumption, the disease which terminated his
life, has been for year gradually undermining his
constitution. His decline was very gradual for six
eight months, and during the winter he has been
as it were trcading just upon the borders Of eternity
From month to month, & week to week, was his ema-
ciated form seen moving about. But. he has gone; ;
and has left wife, two sons and n daughter, and
numerous circle of relatives and friends to mourn
their rrcparable loss. May those who remain, cher
ish his memory and initiate his virtues and bcnevo-

Our latest advices from the seat OF war

erto been obliged to contemplate, in this

throughout affected to despise The cores

his most competent officers, the most gallant
leader Of our army is left a victim to the in
tense Indignation of Il semi-civilized and tc-
rocious soldiery--an Indignation however
maniicsted,not causlcSsly excited The blood
Of our soldiers, Of our friends, and our broth
ers, irri gates the Mexican plain while their
unburicd bodies, feeding the vultures and
beasts ofprcy, though speeches. but most eX-
pressive organs, cry out for vengeance upon
this Administration
We learn that Maj. Gen Gaines received
Il Telegraphic Dispatch from the War De
partment yesterday, requiring him to forward
whatever soldiers had been enlisted under
authority of the Ten Regiment Bill, immedi-
ately to the Brazos. One hundred and fifty
we hear, is the total number thus far enlist
ed.
We beg leave to suggest to the department
the expcdiency Of forming into companies
the four hundred officers appointed by vir-
tue of the provisions of the said bill-and or
dering them into immediate service For
such is probably the only way in which their
qualifications can be made available during
the war.-ITibMe.
