The New Orleans papers Of the 25th,

ult., have been received.
A war had broken out between the
Delaware and Camanche Indians, and
dreadful fight had occurred, in which the
Delawares were defeated. with loss Of
twenty. FIVE warriors. The cause Of the
war is said 10 have been that the Dele
wares we're encroaching on the hunting
grounds Of the Camanches, end they also
charge them with tavoring their enemies
when in war with the Indian tribes OF Tex

H0sr 1t is Doae.-ln speech made by
Gen. SHIELDS, at his reception in Rich
mond, Va, he said:
The other day, in Washington, he had
seen distinguished foreign officer, Just ar
rived from Europe, who belonged to the
Austrian service, Prussian by birth, and
educated at the best military institution in
Europe. This officer told him he had been
sent out by that military school, with let
tiers to the President, and he was direct
cd to ascertain what new element il is that
can make men constantly victorious
against odds--under ali circumstances
in every field.
They were now, he said, trying to
work this problem out in Europe. At
the school in Berlin, the best military gen.
eral hadrecen,!y laid down before his class
the Old principles established in the Eu.
ropean warfare-principles, he told them,
which had been proved in the wars of the
French revolution and Napoleon But, he
observed, it seemed now that some new
element was at WORK, and these principles
had better be investigated. There was a
county in the "est which had been sup.
posed TO be wholly unmili'ary, that, with
out preparation, had assailed nation of sew
en- millions, in country possessing the
best natural deiences in the world. He
referred &c the Efforts Of France in Afri-
ca, and their unsuccessful issue, notwiih-
standing the vast superiority of the assaii-
ing powers; but, said the military instruc-
ter, this republic gets at chce into war.
and is successful in its battles, whether its
army fights in open field, or in defiance, or
in assailing offences, or laying siege to for
tiiications. And the officer was despatch
edto America, to find out, ifpossble, what
was the secret of it all.

man upon the subject Of his resignation. .
Thus, the fact is established (although
the law does not require party to prove
negatively that the gentleman from Jas
per has made no resignation to the Exec
utive department ofthis State. To whom,
then, has he made it? Where is it 10 be
found? We cannot go beyond the pale of
our own knowledge as legislators. Since
it is found that the resignation is not lodg-
ed with the Executive, we have only to
search the records Of this House 10 ascer-
tain the truth or ialsity Of the charge
made in the preamble to this resolutions;
for it is obvious that the Executive and
Legislative departments are the only re-
positories for instruments or facts of this
kind. Does the journal of this House
show that the gentleman has resigned?
No! Has he rendered his resignation to
the Speaker of this House? We have
received no such communication from the
Speakers table. Has he informed tie
House that he is no longer a Representa-
tive from the district Of Marion, Polk,
Dallas and Jasper counties? No such an
announcement has been made. Has he in
any way, by word or act, renowned the
further right 10 his office? Most certain
ly not; but on the contrary, sir, we see
him here in his seat contending for that
right, not only as his right, but as the
right of the people who elected him to
them. Then, sir, we are bound
by every principle Of reason, common
sense and justice to believe that there has
never been any resignation of that seat.
Not only have they utterly failed of es-
tablishing the fact of his resignation, but
The negative of that charge is most fully,
clearly and incontestibly established, to
wit: that he has rot resigned.

nation Of these fears, tho New York Tr;.
buue steps in and objects to Gen. Taylor
in the following strong and courageous
manner:
"Yet we shall oppose to the u.termo.t
the selection OF Gen. Taylor as the Wing
candidate for President, on the following
grounds some Of which may be removed
IN the progress of the canvass, but others
we apprehend, cannot *; 70 wit:

ares and principles are no, get sufficiently

OF primary importance. We do not agree
SO thoroughly with eny great man, and
hardly expect to in future ,vha we ask,
is frank avowal of opinions; SO that We
may know whether, on the whole, they
are such as to justify his nomination by a
Wing National Convention. Whit does
Gen. Taylor think Of The Tariff, currency,
SUB treasury, and public land questions Of
the day? What Of The .Nerican War, the
proper objects Of its prosecution, The nedita-
ted conquest of all .Nerico, and the ertens ion
Of SLAVERY into The territory so acquired7-
1t does seem to us that simple self-respect
requires Of the Wing party the nomination
of no candidate for President whose opin-
ions on these vital questions are shrouded
in mystery. To vote for a man whose opin-
ion on some important point disagrees
with our own, may sometimes be a duty;
but to vote for one whose opinions on all
points are studiously concealed or oracu-
larly mystified, does not comport with our
ideas Of political honor. The concealment
argues that somebody is TO be cheated; and
we do not choose to be classed either with
the swinders or the dupes.
2: While we do no, oppose Gen. Tay.
Tor because he is southern man and q
STAKEHOLDER, we cannot shut our eyes to
The fact that he wins support on that
ground. Why are Duff Green and James
L. Belser, with hundreds like them, to say
nothing yet of John C.. Calhoun, conspic-
nous supporters Of General Taylor? The
simple fact that he is southern man does
not 1--WE the clew; for Mr.. Clay is one
also, yet they never thought Of support
ng him, We shall want to know more
clearly for schot these gentlemen support
Gen. Taylor, before we decide TO do so."
Such, then, ale the relative positions of
General Taylor and Henry Clay, or rath-
er, Of General Taylor end those of the OPP
position who think and act with Henry
Clay. They prove one thing, at least, land
they prove it conclusively; and that is,
that the attempt Of the ambitious and sell
fish leaders of the Federal party to take
advantage Of the fame and popularity of
Gen. Taylor, will be resisted to the last
by those who have more respect for their
opinions and themselves.

n~3- The nomination of Gen. Taylor by
the Wing National Convention, was here re-
ceived with an enthusiasm we have never
seen equalled. From town and country, we
heard the exclamation on all hands, 81 am
satisfied" Gen. Taylor is the next President
of this Union. So far as we can see or hear,
the nomination of Gen. Cass was received by
his perty in cold and tame silence. lew
OF the politicians tried hard to raise sound
OF acclaim, but it was a sickly effort, in
which the people felt no harmony. Unlike
this, totally unlike it, was the response to the
nomination Of Gen. Taylor. With the word,
and like the lightning's fash that brought it,
was the spirit up for Rough and Ready
He was the choice of the people. He is the
Peoples Candidate, Of and for the people.
His skirts are free from the dogmas, the self
ishness, and the arts OF politicians. Like
the people he as no party hacks to fight Tor
the spolIs around him. He is free and I'M
trdmmelled; pledged, and pledged only, to
bring back the government and the country
to the days of its purity and freedom. And
this we all haow he is bile to do. The meet
ing called for to morrow night is one of the
evidences OF the feeling of the people. and
we predict II TO be one of the largest and
most enthusiastic local gatherings we have
ever had here.
We shall probably have several members
of the Convention present, 10 show us how
deep and iervent the feeling with which he
is regarded where they have been. and by
those with whom they have associated.
