are pleased with the country, and several are

s The late accounts from Ell Paso, from Chr
huahua. and from Santa Fe, all represent
that the Apaches have become hostile to the
Americans, and the combined tribes from the
Organos mountains east OF FL Paso to the
mouth OF the ella riy er are watching for OPP
portunities to aVenge themselves tOr the loss
Of many of their warriors, who have fallen in
many sllirmshes with the emigrants. The
Kioways of Northeen Texas are probably al
so acting with the Apaches. Ten or twelve
of the Indians were Killed some weeks since
below. Ell Paso, by Texan emigrants, and this
has exasperated all the bards in that sec
ton.
Those ranging 10 the mountain chains
Iaround chihuahua have also been exasper-
ated to aiFightful extent by the wholesale
bu'cheries perperated by Americans under
the sanction of the State Governments OF
chihuahua and Durango. Those at Santa
Fe havebeen attacked aud seYeraIoi the war
riors slain by the U. 5. troops there. 1t is
well known that when hostilties have once
commenced with Indians they can never be
pacfed, unless subdued by defeat, or peace
is purchased by indemniiying them by by the
loss of their warriors. These Indians have
lost so many warriors that it is by no means
probable that they will accept any presents
that the Government will be disposed to grant
| to purchase peace. There appears to be no
alternative left for the General Government
but to compel these savages by force 10 sue
for peace. The forces now on the borders Of
| the Apache country are inadequate for this
purpose. The military commanders at Santa
Fe have been compelled to call for volunteers
TO resist the invasious of the savages there
and the forces at Ell Paso have hitherto been
able tc act only on the defensive. The Gov
eminent should at once send an overwhelm-
ING force directly into the Indian country. and
then they may be induced to sue for peace
without firing gun. If this predatory war is
continued much longer. hundreds of emigrants
may fall under the tomahawks and scalpin9
knives Of these perfdious savages.

The Legislature had been much occupied
| with the Santa Fe question. A resolution
had been introduced, proposing that a com
lmittee of the two Houses, one from the Sen
ate and two from the House. should be cleo
| ted to go on to Washington City and ascer-
tain the feelings Of the General Government
on the subject of Santa Sc, and also to elicit
the probability of the Government purchas-
| ing the territory. &c. 1t is said that the
Government will through the Legislature, as
sumo an open, firm and decided stand and
| will take such action upon the subject as will
| show that what Texas has won by the sword,
can only be wrested from her by a superior
force.

The value OF the property was considerable,
and the difficulties and dangers resulting from
the lawsuits may be immense. 1t is supposed
to be at least 100000.
A large bed or lake Of salt has been dis

Gossip with the journal Patrons.

The Journal is now the only Daily in Ev-
ansville, and it is going ahead in the right
manner. We are commencing well. Our
increase of Subscriptions Advertising and Job
Work, has been even greater than we antic-
pated, but our expenses are heavier. As
publisher, we have but little to complain Of
as Editor we give satisfaction to the commu-
nifty, which is all we desire. We have tpur-
sued the even tenor of our way-going right
on in the path marked fer our own steps
without being led aside by the attacks and
sneers of those jealous of our success, and
who would endeavor to make the citizens be-
lieve they have got dear bargain in Offering
us inducements to locate here. If to plant
two good Daily papers in a city where before
there was not one good one--if to be the means.
and the sole means, Of having the various i'm
provements and the general progress of Ev-
ansville, made known to the world, where be.
fore they reached the public ear though no
public channel-if this deserve praise, it is
justly our own-if it deserve one dollars re-
ward or purchase, it would be cheap at five
thousand,
We say we have been the means of tlro
good dailies springing up where before there
was not one. The former editor of the Jour
nal had not that time to devote to the Daily
Journal, necessary to make it good paper,
and tofully note the improvements and growth
OF the city. No one can complain that the
Journal is not good paper now, and one cal
eulated to benefit the place. Ifany feel like
complaining, we ask in justice to ourself. that
they will compare the Journal with the best
Dailies in the State, and then they may feel
with some pride that Evansville will not suffer
by the comparison. And yet we are without
assistance in the editorial department, and
with the superintendent of the whole bust
ness of the office, books and all, upon our
shoulders. Whatever paper may start here
and by whomever edited, the Journal shall
continue to be the best business, political and
family paper in the city-for if individually
we cannot make it such, the proper aid shall
be procured Those who knew the CONNER
cial of last summer, and the same paper this
fall have seen that so far as it is concerned. let
affected reform which made a good paper
where before there was miserable affair."
To-be-sure it is now stopped, but only tenn
porarily.
The Journal is now quoted from by the city
papers. Many of its editorials are copied ia
to important sheets, and the rapid growth Of
Evansville and its excellent prospect for the
future, made familiar to those who previously
knew them not. One good paper is of meal
culable benefit to a place-one bad paper is
proportionately as great an injury. Support
then the Journal. More subscribers are still
wanted, and more we are determined to have
tito deserve them will secure their patronage
So we think everybody might just as vel
walk right up and subscribe at once, and save
good deal of talk, and many computations
of conscience.
