D. r. Foote,. .of. Buffalo, Consul to Bogota.
Lieut.. Beall presented his dispatches, four
in number. this morning to the Secretary of
the Navy, who declines TO publish them; but
| at the Same time, We arc authorized TO say
that the statements published Id the Herald
ON "Wednesday, are fully borne out by Com
modore Jones. Nothing is said as to the civ
u organization Of the territory, and but little
with reference to the abundance of gold
What is said OF the latter, however, confirms
the published accounts.
The dispatches principally refer to private
matters connected with the squadron; there is
nothing in them which would interest the pub
lie, beyond what we have stated
We feel authorized TO say that force Of
dragons will be promtly detailed to Rio
Grande to put down the Indians, with in
stinctions to pursue them till captured or an
initiated. The people Of Texas are to be
protected from further invasions OF the Ca.

It's said that when the news OF the Indian
outrages was read TO Old Zack, he rose from
his seat and exclaimed: .F'irst of all, this
business must be stopped" and sent for Mr..
Crawford. We understand also that the
Presidents gratified with the conduct Of The
Mexican General at Matamoras and will prob.
ably require an explanation Of the American
officer for refusing the assistance offered to
pursue The Indians q.

The. odd Fellows,

The grand and imposing ceremony Of dedi-
eating the New Hall Of the society Of Odd
fellows in the city Of New York, was to come
off on Monday the 4tl Of June last, weather
permitting. From the programme Of ceresno-
MES and arrangements of various lodges,
chapters and encampments, which occupies
over one column of a paper, in small type, it
is supposed that over 10000 persons will bo
present, and many Of the sister Lodges Of
neighboring states have been invited to parti-
cIpate in the ceremonies, The new Hall is q
very elegant building Of brown free -stone, of
Tuscan order, facing three sides of square,
light and surmounted with a splendid dome.
The building is situated in too crowded por-
ton Of the city to shew 10 just advantage.
The furniture in the various rooms is said to
be exceedingly rich and costly and very ap-
propriate. The building, furniture and libra
ry must have cost an immense sum. The
Independent Order Of Odd-felows, will soon
be tho largest Incorporated body in the Union.
1t is an Order Of great merit--its charities
| universal.

DEATH OF GENERAL GArNEs.-Oni
Wednesday last this distinguished veteran
fell victim TO cholera. A hero Of one
hundred battles, alike distinguished for
his mental and military abilities, the old
est officer in our service, lbs thus fallen,
after brief siege Of a few hours. Itis
very strange that two of our most distin-
gushed Generals have been thus cut off
by the snme disease in the course OF two
weeks. Gen. GAINES leaves wife ond,
we believe two children. Flo was in
command of the Southern forces at the
time of his demise. His wife has just
entered upon possession Of her rights af-
ter long series Of years Of ligatation;
her property al New Orleans being val-
ued ut Is millions.
