ST.. LOUIS, Sept. %.
James Brown, Esq, Government
Freight Agent, arrived from Santa Fe on
last night, having been twenty days Oh
the route.
The market for dry goods continued
dull, but considerable demand prevailed
for groceries.
Two Americans were killed by the
Apaches at Los Vegas on the 9TH of Sep
tember. The Indians stole twenty of the
government horses; and at the same time,
two hundred miles on this side of Santa
Fe, forty Anapahoes attacked Mr.. Brown
and robbed him of every thing; on the next
day, however, they gave back some mules
and left him. Some California emigrants
furnished him with provisions.
Col. Alexander, commander of Santa
Fe, and Col. Washington, had gone against
the Indians. Bent was at Taos. Major
Stein had a skirmish with the Indians
and was wounded in the leg.
Bent's Fort was lately burned by the
Cheyenne Indians, in the absence of VIM
Bent. Several men, who were in charge
are supposed to have been murdered.-
Several California trains met Col. Nun.
roe with two hundred and fifty dragoon,
and infantry, for Santa Fe, at Walnu
Creek. The trains were all getting OF
well. Goods were plenty. The indians
were every where hostile.

Santa Fe, relative to the Convention en-
trusted with the form of the State Govern

The re-districting of the State for the elec.
tion of members of the Legislature, is duty
which will devol We upon that body next winter
ard ought to be TO the citiz of our county
matter of deep interest. How necessary it is
that we shou Id have 4 separate representation IN
the House, so that our local wants and inter
ests can be attended to. From the organ iza;ion
Of the county down to 1643 this county was
joined 10 Somerset, forming district aud cleo
ting TWO members TO the House. How loften
member was given TO Cambria during that
long period, the interests of Our County at
tende to, our citizens can well remember, as
both members were almost Invariably taken
from Somer set. 1t is only since the last appor-
tionment in lS43 that Cambria has has been en-
titled to a separate representa- ion ia the House
of Representatives, and IN the six sessions of
the Legislature which have passed, in conse
quence of divisions in our own ranks, we have
been represented in FOUR of them by Whigs
and TWICE only by Democrats. The ensuing
session will be the last under the bill of lS43,
and il is for the Democrats of Cambria to deter
mine whether we shall again be represented by
whig or a Democrat. They now called
upon to decide whether they wish the party
divided so as TO give the wings the ascendency
or whether they will not bury in oblivion ali
past difficulties and unite in eectng our DEM
ocratic candidate. If the wings should obtain
a majority in the next Legislature, they will
endeavor 10 pass such bill as will perpetuate
their power in the state for the next seven
/ years, and possibly deprive our county of he

Let them aid in securing democratic majority

from Cambria under the new apportionment
bill for the next seven years.
It is hardly necessary to allude to the impor-
tance of our county having member to attend
to her interests in the Legislature. Her re-
sources are just beginning to be developed and
to attract notice from abroad. The iron. coal,
lumber and agricultural products are daily in
creasing and will be sources of great wealth to
Cambria. The popula ton and improvements
of the county every where extending, and
our prosperity may be much promoted by a
wise system of Legs ation, if we only desire it,
and attend to own interests. Go then again

next you will have it in your power to decide
" neither this county shall again be represented
in the Legislature by whig, or a democrat
The next session Will be important one,
and many questions will have TO be decided
which may have an important bearing upon the
ascendency hereafter OF the Democratic party in
Pennsylvania.
If the principles of the party are worth con.
tending for, now IS the time to rally in their
support, and redeem our State from the dan
gers of Wing misrule. Remember that should
the Wings obtain majority in the Legs inture
they will cndeavor to carry out all their favor.

of Judges by the people. and endeavor TO pre-
vent the amendment of the constitution for shat
purpose, as they have ever shown themselves to
be IN favor of giving power TO the Executive
rather than the people. The appor lionment of
the State is matter also in which the people
OF the whole state arc deeply interested, and

This being Court week, we have had an op-
portunily Of eonversing ith great number
of people from every section OF The county, and
we can assure our demo cratic friends here nd
elsewhere that never, since The organization of
the county, was there more unanimity to be
found in the ranks of the democracy. Never
were our prospects for success brighter. The
democrac y are quiet, but determined, and hav-
thrown aside all past differences, they dis
posed to unite in general effort TO re deem our
county from Federal misrule. When such 4
state of things exist in Cambria, who can
doubt the result. The democracy of the State
may rest assured that so far as Cambria is con-
cerned "all is well.n

The Bunsling Taylor administration.

Since the present administration came
IN power, say the Washington Union
which is but six months ago, the cabinet,
with Mr.. Clayton at its head, has contriv-
ed to pick quarrels, or get into diplomatic
squabbles, with England, France, Spain
the German Confederation, and the Ba-
shaw of Tunis. What but the most STU
pid blundering can account for this state of
things! And where is all this unfortunate
mismanagement 10 end! We were dis
posed 10 laugh at first. But we really be-
gin to think there is danger of rupture
OF our peaceful relations, and of war with
more than one foreign power. We cer-
taInly think, III view of this strange state
OF things, this embodiment with half the
world, IN so short a period, that our citi-
zens engaged in commerce should keep a
look out for the future. Precautions are
certainly necessary, for we know not when
a war may break out under the manage
ment of the present cabinet. 1t seems TO
behave in the conduct of our foreign rela-
tons with no more judgment or caution
than mad animal in china shop.-
