From the Independence Expositor.
ARRIVAL FROM SANTA FEE,

Thomas Caldwell. Esq, has just got in from
the plains, and confirms the sad intelligence Of
the massacre at Taos. Gov. Chas. Bent, and
twenty five Americans are the victims OF cold
blooded assassination.
Among the dead is L. L. Waldo, a citizen
OF our county, and brother to Capt. David
Waldo, OF Col. Doniphan's regiment.
Mr.. Caldwell left Ell Passo on the 18th Jan.
uary, and Santa Fe on the Sd February-he
saw nothing Of Capt. Sublelt, and heard nothing
OF his Whereabouts He left Col. Doniphan in
possession OF Ell Passo waiting for the Artillery
10 arrive, when he intended TO move for Chihua.
hua. Nothing was known in New Mexico OF
the change in Gen. Wool's position.
Mr.. Caldwell learned from reliable source
that they had declined putting Mr.. James Nc.
Coffin on trial for treason, and that he was at
large in Chihuahua.
The nsurrectonsts consisted of about 1000
men, and started for Santa Fe. Col. Price
sent out about 800 men to quel them; they met
about 25 miles from Santa Fe when an engage.
ment took pace-the Mexicans drew up 1000
strong, but at the first first fire from our brave
Missouri boys, 81 of them fell dead and the
balance fed
Capt. NORM, OF Platte, who was in com.
mand, pursued them through the Moro valley.
and burned 10 ashes every house, town and ran.
chero in his path. The inhabitants fled to the
mountains, where they are bound to starve, as
NORM leaves them nothing whatever to subsis,
on-a just retrbution for their assassination oil
innocent people.
As Mr.. Caldwell was passing out he heard
at distance the sound Of artillery, and learned
hom rumor in the edge Of the settlements that
the American army had whipped them worse
than ever. Capt. Hsndly, Of Ray county volun
teers, was the only one killed on our side, and
some seven slightly wounded,

government to the able and intelligent United
States Consul in the city Of Mexico, Mr.. Black,
who is still employed there as means Of com.

Mr.. Black will annunciats the three million

government the expression Of desire, on the
part Of the American Congress, 10 obtain ga speedy
and honorable peace" with Mexico. The Missis
sippi may possibly arrive at Vera Cruz, il the
equinoctial gales do not interrupt her, by the Goth
Of March. 1t strikes me that, very possibly,
preliminaries for treaty of peace will be settled
before the intended assault upon Vera Cruz and
the Castle. That was the opinion expressed by
Mr.. Soule before he left the city.

INDIGNATION RESOLUTIONS.

A meeting of the "unterrifed," in a
portion of Virginia, called Buckle.neck,
recently held an indignation meeting, at
which the following resolutions were
adopted. We copy them as pattern for
our indignant friends who propose to thun-
der on Monday
Resolved. That the House Of Representatives
was Individually and undenably right in expell>
ing the Reporters Of the N. Y. Tribune, for an
impudent letter written by one OF them and pub.
lshed in that rascaly Wing paper, describing
the Hon. Mr.. Sawyer's sausage.ea,ing propensi.
ty, and his manner Of masticating that democrat.
ic article Of diet; for this conclusive reason, that
the said Reporters were Wings and the Tribune
Wing pepper. It is therefore idle to pretend that
the question Of the freedom Of the press was at
all involved in the matter.
Resolved, That the Senate, in expelling the
Editors Of the Washington Union, for an article
published therein, committed all sorts OF assaults
upon the Constitution, the Bill OF Rights, the
Laws, the Liberties Of the people, the Freedom
Of the Press, and the Great Principles OIL
Universal Equality; because the Editors OF the
Union are Democrats. and the writer of the com.
muncation was Democratic Office. Seeker, who
woo Iohoe'ou justly iuuSudut Wy tue Ielusdl Of
the Senate 10 pass bill for the increase Of the
officers, in the precise shape required by the
President upon the passage Of which his Office
was dependent.
Resolved, That the freedom OF the true and
loyal Democratic presses. and particularly Of the
Ezecutiue Organ, 10 abuse whomsoever they
please, is very different thing from The freedom
OF the Wing press, which, disseminating errol
among the people, and giving aid and comfort tc
the enemy. ought 10 be muzzled; that the preser
walton of the former is far more important thar
the preservation oil the latter and therefore, tina
whilst we applaud our friends in the House o
Representatives for restraining the licentiousnes.
Of the rascaly Wings, and OF rebellous snt
obscure Democrat, "who had no friends" we
would be false to our "chsrished principles" die
we fail to condemn the daring assaults Of FEEDER
alists" upon the Presidents Organ, and, through
that Organ, upon the President himself
| Resolved, That there is very obvious differ
ence between their bull goring our OK, and GU,
bull gorng their ox-a difference OF principle
which must be apparent to the most rabid FEEDER
alist and Calhoun man at glance.
| Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions art
perfectly consistent with each other and that any
Democrat who doubts it is decidedly fshy.
