CoNGRESS--THE MESSAGE.

We had hoped 10 be able TO give our
readers President Taylor's first annual
message today, but in consequence of
the failure in the House TO choose a
Speaker, the delivery of the message
has been delayed. In another column
will be found the proceedings that have
transpired, as reported by telegraph, for
the 81. Louis press. The House had
been in session from Monday to Friday.
and adjourned on the evening Of tina,
day, without choosing presiding off
Ger. 1t is difficult TO conjecture who
will be chosen. Winthrop, the candi-
date of the Wings, has gained strength,
while Cobb, the locofoco candidate, has
lost ground. The.Free Soilers of the
North will support neither of these
candidates; Cobb is from slave State,
and Objectionable on that ground, while
Winthrop is disliked by them, although
from free State, because he showed
them no favor in the last Congress, and
declined all their overtures. There are
doubtless few ultra southerners. who
also objec. 10 these men. Cobb refused
10 sign Calhoun's southern address,
which is an offence Of sufficient impor-
lance 10 array at least South Carolina's
delegation against him-and from Win

LIFE lNsURANCE--M Resuls.-A
practical illustration of the bene.
fits of Life Insurance has recently been
furnished in this place in the case of
our lamened fellow.cilizen, the late
John II. Maddox. While in good health
some time last year he effected an insu.
rance on his life for $4,000 in the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Company, of
which Mr.. Franklin Slaughter is agent
in this place. Mr.. Maddox died about
month since, and few days ago the
the amount for which his life was in.
sured was promptly paid over 10 his
family 10y MIR. Slaughter. We learn
that Mr.. Maddox had also Policy of
Insurance for $4,000 in the Baltimore

paid with equal promplness. ..

aens murdered by the ApachesN
We stop the Press TO announce the
heart-rending intelligence, brought by
Mr.. }. w. Ii. Patton, who has Just ar.
rived from Santa Fe.
Mr.. Patton. and other gen,lemen n
who accompanied him. met some Buf.
falo. hunters a shor, distance from the
Vegas, who informed them that a com
pany from independence had been
murdered. near the Point-ofRocks, by
the Apaches.
This intelligence induced them to re.
turn to Vegas, but they subsequently,
proceeded on their journey, and when
they arrived at a point between Whet.
stone and Point. of Rocks, they discov-
cred that wha, had been told them was
too ,rue-,hey found the bodies of sew.
eral persons whom they recognized.
among the rest those of james Nj.
White, William Galloway, and Ben
Bnusman. (colored barber) of this city.
1t is supposed that Mrs. White and
child were taken prisoners. There
were eight killed in all.
UWe learn from Hon. Hugh N.
Smith, delegate 10 Congress, from New
Mexico, who passed through here yes.
,erday that The above news is too true.
Mr. Smith and Mr.. Patton. spoken of
above, crossed the plains together. The
party collected the remains of the un.
fortunate victims of savage ferocity
and buried them. Mr.. Smith thinks
there is no doubt but ,ha, Mrs. White
and her child were taken prisoners,
They had very rough time crossing
the plains. The weather was very cold
and stormy, and the Indians trouble.
some. The grass has been burnt by
the Indians, which renders i. almost
impossible for stock to subsist.
Capt Judd, commandanl at Los
Vegas, furnished an escort for the par.
ty in, on his own responsibility, The
commandant ofthe Department of New
Mexico having declined doing so.-
The escort came with them as far as
the vicinity of the Arkansas, and re.
turned, escoriing back the train Of
Messrs. Aubry & White. The Indians
are very troublesome in New Mexico;
the military force there is no protection
TO the lives and property of citizens,
owing to The limited number of troops
and the inefficiency Of those in com.
mand. The number of troops should
be increased, and more efficient men
placed in command. The Indians pay
no regard to treaties, any number of
which they have made, and broken the
first opportunity. Still The command
ing officers treat with, instead ofthrash.
ing them.
The territory will have an efficient
and able advocate in Mr.. Smith, who
will embrace an early opportunity to
lay iis condition before Congress and
ask that the necessary steps be taken to
protect the lives and property of the
inhabitants.
We learn from Mr.. Smith that young
Sims was to be tried for the murder of
Johnson Jackson. the day he left. The
witnesses were all in aitendance.-
Col. Congreve Jackson ard party had
left New Mexico. and no reliance is to
be placed in the report that they had
been cut off by the Indians
