81. Louis County. We learn that TIE
County Court Of ST. Louis county, hav-
ing heretofore invested her distrIbntive
share of the 100000 acres of land dona-
ted to this State by Congress, has appoint
ed the Hon. Foster P. Wright, Of tAiS
place, Director on the part of said coun-
ty in the Usage River Association. We
should have been glad if some one Of the
many friends Of internal Improvement in
St. Louis, could have made il convenient
to attend the meetings of the Board Of Di-
rectors- The distance, however, wonld
preclude the regular attendance OF di-
rector from that county. We are much
pleased at the appointment of Judge w.
by the County Court. The Judge is a
gentleman of high standing in our com
munity, and one who takes deep inter-
est in the improvement of the Usage riv-
er, and will, no doubt, render full salts
faction 70 those who have entrusted their
interests in his hands.
In this connexien we will take occasion
10 say that the works upon the river al
this point and for some distance below,
are progressing with vigor and deter
mination of purpose, which is sure in
dicaiion Of success. Our energetic friend
Col. Squires, under whose superintend-
ence the work here is being done, with
Capt. VIM. Waldo, as general superin-
tendant and President of the Board, giy'
assurance 10 those acquainted with them
that the work will be done.
Tho blackberry ShOal, yet incomplete
has about three and half feet water OF
il, and Col. S. thinks he can procure tina
depth at the lowest stage Of the river, a
cost not exceeding $3.50.

A APPREHENSION OF IN
DIAN TROUBLES.

The following is taken from
the Prairie du Chen Patriot
Large war bands of these In
dians are collecting OH the st.
Croix, and measures of defence
are being taken. Capt. East
man of the lst. infantry, COM
manding Fort Smelling, has
turned over to the use Of the
citizens of St. CroiX, several
cannons, a quantity of amuni-
ton, and a number of stands OF
arms to be used, if necessary a.
gainst the Indians.
\ reqnisition has been made
for two hundred regular troops
from Jefferson Barracks, TO
proceed forthwith to that dis
trict to repel any descent the
Indians may make upon the
whites. A portion of the com
pany of Capt. Eastman are un.
der his command at Wabashaw
prairie, assisting in the removal
of the Winnebagoes, the re-
mainder, guard Fort Smelling.
1t is feared by many, that wal
with this powerful tribe o
Indians will ensue, but we trus'
not, though appearances are tru
ly threatening. We state the
above facts, not as an alarmist
but as facts well authenticated
by gentlemen who were pres
ent at the time of the execution
IN officer of the army informs
us that the requisitionfc for troop
ihas been made.

LATER FROM MEXICO.

BY the steamer James L. Day, Capt.
Wood, we have received our files of Mex
lean papers to the l7th insl., but as they
only came TO hand late last evening, we
have only given them cursory examina-
tion.
Senor Yaneb marched on the ] hh inst.
at the head of 600 men TO put down the
attempted revolution headed by Paredes
and Jarauta at Lagos. Should this mum.
ber be insufficient To quell the revolt, the
Government would despatch 1000 troops
more, with fourteen pieces of artillery.
The Legion of 81. Patrick formed part
of the 600 men. Their withdrawal to
march upon Lagos had delay ed the depar-
ture Of c0nducta from Queretaro, which
they were TO have escorted,
As there are more deserters from the
American army in Mexico than are requi-
red for the ranks Of the Legion, il is pro-
posed to incorporate portion Of them in
10 the police force Of the city Of Mexico.
These deserters are evidently main stay
Of the government---a kind of Swiss
Guards which promise 10 bevery service
able if they will but adhere to the admin
isiration.

and confidence in the permanent stability
of our financial and commercial interests,
never was stronger than at the present

THE RED MAN OF THE FOREST.

There are many chara cteristics about
the aborigines of our country that are diff
ferent from any other people of whom we
have any knowledge, and bear strong ev-
idence Of much higher degree of intel
lectual cultivation than they possess at
present. Among these is their superior
knowledge of the healing properties of
plants indigenous TO the soil-by which
they are enabled to subdue and cure the
diseases peculiar to the country. DIR.
Bragg spent many years on the frontiers,
and made it study to obtain all the know
ledge they possessed in medicine and to
extract their active properties, and render
them so agreeable 10 the palate, that the
most sensitive and irritable stomach can
take them without difficulty. lie has thus
been enabled to present a medicine that is
safe, agreeable and eilectual, in removing
all the varieties of bilious fever and 9th.

BosroN, July 8.
The express steamer Buena Vista ar

FRANCE.
Paris is still agitated. Prince Louis
Napoleon has resigned his seat in the As

bles.
There are six candidates for the Presi-
dency in the field LamarIne, Theirs,
Louis Napoleon, Marrast, Gen. Canssi-
dere, and Cardanare, ex-Prefect OF Po-
lice.
The Orleans party will support Thiers,
especially as Beranger has declined in his
favor. The Legtimatisis are divided be-
tween 7hiers and Lamariine, if the elec-
ton were SOON TO come off, but little doubt
exists that Louis Napoleon would he the
successful candidate.
The constitution has been amended in
such manner, that if neither one Of the
candidates secure majority Of the public
votes, the five candidates receiving the
largest vote, shall be returned to the Ma
tional Assembly, and from one Of these
five a President shall he chosen.
Prince Louis Napoleon has hern elect
ed Colonel OF the 4th legion Of the Nation

A new candidate for popular favor is
spoken of III the person OF son Of Prince
Eugene Beauharnais.

Gen. Minon had marched TO attack the

400 men, while Jarauia had collected twice
that number, Minon deemed il prudent to

We imagine, than the papers like 10 con-
fess. We find many allusions, too, in the
papers 10 the Indian Instructions. Ja-
rauta alludes TO the latter in his proclama-

NFWe, loo, would like TO give these
swindling thieves diff over the face and

tus, not so much with the expectation Of
getting pay for ii, as with the view of OBJ
tanning an exchange. We were hardly
green enough TO believe that the proprie-
tors could afford TO pay regular advertising
rates TO all the papers in the Union for
publishing their prospectus, especially
when merely trying an experiment. We
thought the request most too liberal and
extensive, 10 induce any TO believe that
they ever dreamed of paying for II. The
result has only verified our first belief in
the matter, and we are sorry TO see our
brethren SO badly "taken in " Neverhe-
less, such swindling scoundrels ought to
receive marked attention at the hands OF
