In England, and charges his d!sappointnsnta to
Mr.. Macresdy's enmity. In all this Mr.. Forrest
may feel justified to his own conscience, believing
himself to have been grossly injured. and thinking
his wrongs public grievances, to be revenged by
his friends against all English rival and enemy.
But the mass of his own countrymen will be against
him; and while he may be acquitted of a1y pur-
pose to expel Mr.. Macready with ignominy from the
American stage at such cost of violence and blood
he must abide an almost unanimous Judgment
against his discretion and his temper.

News FROM THE MoUNTAINs.-A party which
left Fort Laramie on the Goth of March reached ST.
Louis on the 9th inst. We have in the Reveille of
the llth some items of information respecting that
country, furnished by one of the party:
They found the grass very scarce; so much so
that nearly all their animals persisted. Along the
last hundred miles of the route they found no grass
at ALL The party arrived at st. Joseph on the 29th
April. They met number of emigrant parties, all
in fine health and spirits The first train of wagons
was met on the Grand Nemaha. This company
was commanded by Capt. Jarrot, of Cahoka. The
last winter one of the severest ever known at
the foot of the mountains-not so much on account
of the cold the frequency of severe storms Of wind
and snow. The Indian trade with the Sioux, Ara
pahoes, and Cheyennes has been very successful.
The Fort upon the Platte never trade with the Paw
nees before Grand Island, the Crows On the head
of the Yellowstone, or the Snakes at the head of
Lewis river; these tribes being hereditary enemies
of the Sioux above the forks of the Platte AMI the
Cheyennes and Arapahoes between the south fork
of the Platte and the Arkansas. The party stopped
at Fort kearny, formerly Fort Childs,) near Grand
Island, where they were kindly and courteously
treated by Capt. Ruff, the commandant. This Fort
Is to be erected on the south bank of the river,
directly opposite Grand Island, and not upon the
Island, as has been supposed. The timber (lnostly
shores are naked. The Fort will consist of block
houses and palisades. No portion of it is vet cree
ted, but large quantity of timber is now prepared.
The Crows and Sioux have had several scrmmaees
during the winter. In one of these smallFparty of
Crows, who had ventured too far into the country
of the Sioux, were cut off to man. The party
was ten in number.

THE CIRCUS MovING.-Messrs North, Stickney,
and JONES' with their splendid company, have gone
TO Mobile, where they will remain few days, and
will then set out on tour through Alabama, Geor-
ga, and South Carolina and will thus give the
people of those States an opportunity to what
be done in the way of circus representations.
This company comprises, We believe, as great a
collection of celebrated artists AS any company in
the country. II is only necessary TO name Slckney
and his daughters, North, Sweet, Craven, Ben Jen-
nngs, Qast, not least,) and in fact might recap-
tulate the names Of the entire company, 10 bear us

and pleasant summer excursion, and an early re-
turn to the Crescent City.

Something Personal,

An advertisement in the Delta of yesterday morn.
ing contains among much cant and hypocricy, the
following:
Al parties satisfied in our own country to measure
eligibility on the part of citizen for public office by that
fidelity rather than seeking in queruousness private
spleen upon the vocation OF individual The occupation
OF citizen. SO that it reputable has nothing to do with
his capacity for, eligibility public office. This axiom
and ought to be particularly familiar to the senior editor
OF that paper, who, it presumed. immaculate ncarna-
ton OF Judgment and wisdom that gives tone and point
the relentless assaults of the Crescent against our
worthy fellow citizens whose only fault Is that account
OF his general learning and ipe scholarship supefaddng his
mathematical requirements he has been lately appointed
the important station OF State Enslneer'
This was evidently published by, or with the
knowledge of Mr.. Woodbridge, for it was put in the
Delta by Mr. R. H. Stirling-and it as evidently
refers to me. Had it been the first or second thing
of the kind, should not have noticed it. Had it
not been written with a full knowledge that both
in assertion and insnuation it contained false
hood, it would equally have escaped. But the
attack has been repeated, after l had told the
friends of Mr.. Woodbridge and they had told
him that | had not written line in reference
to him. Such is the fact. Even had been dis
pleased with the appointment of State Engineer,
| should have made no remark upon the subject,
for | do not choose to waste powder on game so
small but so far from being displeased, the ap-
pointment was to me source of great amusement,
and have heartily laughed it the best joke
of the season. j. c. LARUE.

SENATOR BENToN-Senator Benton left ST
Louis for tour in the Western part of Missouri
on the 10th. Before quitting he published an
Appeal"-which, the Reveille says, places him
at issue at once with the whole democratic party.
We have not yet seen the document. Old Bullion
has ready way of doing just what he pleases-
and it would not surprise us TO find him treating
his old political friends with the most uncere-
monious huntness

The COTTON CROP IN ARKANsAs.-T'he pros
pect for good cotton crop in this county, says the
Helena Shield of the 18th inst, the present year, is
extremely gloomy. From the best information we
can get we think it impossible to make an average
crop under any circumstances. The stand is gener-
ally bad and unusually late, occasoned by the frost
and the cut-warm--besides, the overflow did i'm
mense damage to the river planters.

Es- Determined opposition is made by his own
party friends to the appointment of B. B. Meeker
United States Judge in the territory of Min
esota. The kentucky Commonwealth re-afirms
all its objections and proers proof of Mr. Meeker's
unworthiness. 1t is said that Mr.. M. was confirmed
as Benjamin B. Meeker, when his true name is
Bradley B.; and that his nomination must be again
submitted to the Senate, when the charges against
him will be urged against his confirmation

INDIAN BArTLE.-The Little Rock Democrat of

battle had been fought on the praires between the

that 500 warriors We're slain in the engagement.
