William 0. Butlsr'S Acceptance.
WASHING rnN. Aurnst S

WASHINGTON, August s, IS4S.
Sir ~ have the honor to ackuowied, % the re.
celpI OF your communication as the organ Of the
Baltimore Conveniion--which reached me onlv
e5terdny--nnnouncing my nomination by that
body as the democratic nddate !or the Office OF
Vice President.
For this distinguished mark Of confidence and
trust, am most deeply grateful TO my friends ;
ana cannot but the more appreciate the honor done
me, when reflect that this nomination was made
without my knowledge, while absent in dislan,
country, and by the Unanimous voice of the con-
ventIon. My acceptance is n matter of course
Ii is at all times proper in Il free country, and
at crisis like this, deemed Indispensable in our
own, that aspirants to office should be distinctly
understood on all important questions of national
policy; and my nomination for the Office of Vice
President has doubt been made with a full
knowledge of mine. My position while mem
ber OF Congress compelled me to take n decisive
though not conspIcous part all the leading ques-
uons OF the day. | might therefore appeal to the
past as the best and safest guarantee for my future
political course. Some of these questions are,
however, daily growing in importance and as |
cannot consent to win the good opinion of others
by Disgusting my own, and rs design this com
mnnIcatlon 10 be final, it may be proper that |
should be moro explicit. / feel the more impelled
to this course from the consideration that my ac-
tou as member Of Congress may not be ucces.
sIbie to the people at large With thus object in
view, have examined carefully the proceedings
of the convention by which was nominated.
recognise in the resolutions passed by that BODY
but the re-markng, and with an able hand, of the
great lines of separation between the democratic
and whlg parties--lines that should be ever kept
freshly before the people, and are so plainly laid
down IN the resolutions referred to- that the way-
taring man, though fool, cannot err therein.''
Those resolutions have been widely circulated,
and within reach of all. deem it sufficient TO
say that they meet my entire and unqualified ap-
probation.
Permit me, in conclusion, sir, to tender to you.
and through you to the entire democracy repre-.
sented blythe body over which you ably pre-
sided, my grateful thanks for tho distinguished
honor they have done me.
With high regard,
remain truly your friend,

FROM THE PRAIRlEs.-By the Fort Smith Her.
aid we learn the following:
y soldier, by the name of Seymour, who left
in the detachment of U. S. Dragons, under the
command of Lit. Beaufort, for Santa Fe, came in
to Fort Gibson, few days SINCE and reports that
on the 18th of August. about 400 miles from Fort
Gibson. several horses were stolen from the camp
during the night by the Indians, nd that detach-
ment of six men, hi mself among the number were
sent out in scar ch of the horses, and that after
being out short time, they came upon company
of Indians, supposed to be about two hundred, and
had skirn1ish with them. One of the men, a
corporal, was shot in the breast with an arrow,
and vas seen immediately afterwards throwing up
blood from, his mouth. Seymour endeavored to
return to The camp for assistance, but pursued
by the Indians SO closely that he was compelled
to take different direction to escape from them,
After travelling for some Time his horse gave ou,
and he turned his steps towards Fort Gibson. He
thinks the other five men were all killed. Sey-
mour's tale is not fhy credited at Fort Gibson,
nevertheless i! may all be true.
