INDIANS IN MExIco.-0ur latest dates from
Rangers and band of Camanches. Late pa
pers from the City of Mexico also describe sew
eral actions between the Indians and Mexican
troops. The sayages had boldly approached
within seventeen leagues of the city of San
Luis. In one engagement the Mexicans had
fifty infantry and thirty dragons engaged.
The party was completely cut to pieces, only
eight of the Dragons escaping with their lives
and five of these being wounded. Another en-
gagement took place between the Indians and
cavalry which were marching from Matehuala
TO join Gen. Avalos. The fight occurred at
Mingole, and the dragons were completely
routed, seventy being killed, among whom
were Col. Labastida, and several other officers
The survivors of this fight at last joined Avalos,
Ina letter from this general, we have report
of an engagement in which the Mexican arms
were more successful. With force of about
400 cavalry, he writes on the 18th of Novem-
Der, that he that morning attacked body of
from ofU 10 0fU lnulanS III the H1CleQQd oil
Sap Juen del Saledo.
The action began at o'clock in the morn
ing and terminated at 2 in the afternoon, (the
date of the generals letter )Only thirty or forty
Indians were then left in the interior of the ha-
cienda, whom he says will be necessary to des-
troy, as they refuse to surrender, and defend
themselves savagely. All the rest. he says,
persisted, the very small number who fled find
ing escape impossible on eccount of the diff
Guilty OF the country, the hills, &c. The Mex
leans recovered two thousand horses, and set at
liberty over two hundred women and children,
who had been captured. The loss of the Mex
leans was small, though several officers were
wounded and Gen. Avalos had his horse shot
under him.
1t is calculated that in their incursions into
the State of San Luis over four hundred Mexi-
cans have been killed, a great number of cap
tives made, and numberless atrocities have
been committed.

10 BY members from the Western States, 8 by
members from the Middle States, and by
members from New England States. The en-
tire South Carolina delegation in the House
recorded their names against the Resolution,
the three Locofoco members in the North Car
DINA delegation, all the Locofoco members
from Virginia but one (Mr. Atkinson) who
was not present, of the Loco members
from Tennessee, andevery other Locofoco mem
Der from the South but Pilsbury of Texas and
Brown of Mississippi, the latter of whom was
not present.
The only Wing who voted against the Reso-
luton, was a member from Virginia-Mr.
Flournoy. .....-..
With reference to this important vote, the
National Intelligencer of the 22d has the fol-
lowing remarks:
Yesterday was day TO be remembered in
the annals of the House Of representatives.
BY single exertion of political independence,
by an assertion of Legislative authority, openly
condemned and defied by the Executive, in the
matter of the improvement of the Lake and
River navigation of the West, the House has
done itself undying honor. But the vote upon
the proposition introduced by Mr.. Wentworth,
of Illinois, affirming principles directly adverse
to those of the late and preceding Veto Mesa
ges of the President, and the House has recog-
missed the true theory of our Government-and,
we had like to have said, has re-established TIE
Constitution of the United States. The great
ness of the majority being about thirty votes
more than two-thirds VOTE is most crafty
ing because it assures the country that the pol
icy of Internal Improvements is, so far as the
popular branch of Congress is concerned, be-
yond the reach of the Veto's deadly fang.
Honor to the House of Representatives, say
we.

pcrWe copy the following verses from an old paper
'ecause they are found in few editions OF Byron's
Works and because Sir Walter Scott said it was tho
weetest and most exquisite of his fugitive pieces:
There is mystic thread Of life
So dearly wreath'd with mine alone,
That destiny's relentless knife,
AT once must sever both or none
There is form on which these eyes
Have often gazed with fond delight
That form, by day, their joy supplies,
And dreams restore it through the night.
There is lip, which mine hath press'd,
And none hath ever preSsd before
ltvowed to make me sweetly blessed,
And nine-inine only press'd it more.
There is bosom-all mine own
Hath pillowd oft this aching head
A mouth that smiles on me alone
An eye, whose tears with mine are shed.
There is voice, whose tones inspire
Such thrills ofrapture through my breast,
would net hear a seraph choir,
Unless that voice could join the rest
There are two souls whose equal flow
In gentle streams so calmly run,
That when they part-they partl all no.
Those cannot part-those souls are one.

Cd the sublime TO the beautiful, in the

'heather-crowned tops, which had bat.
tied with the storms Of past ages, now
ss ~canopied with the mantle of night
their forms in graceful outline, gradual
ly receding in the distance, like frown-
ing shadowsof the past; while the most
r finished work Of man, might stand sha.
dowless beneath the perfect pencilIing
of nature.
The Connecticut river, at a distance,
= resembled a sea Of sparkling diamonds,
rejecting on its broad bosom the count
