The N. Y. Express contains the follow
ing comment on the vote in the House, to
reject the Texas boundary bill, which we
have given in another column:
"The vote Of the thirty-tour gentlemen
to-day against acting at all upon the Tex
as Boundary, is from the company they
keep, North and South, from the s'reaked
coalition they present, and from the dar-
ing defiance they show of the real diff
cul,ies and dangers that beset the country,
the most reckless vote, as il seems 10 me,
of the season. can see no excuse for It,
nor palliation of it. II deies the crisis. 1t
mocks at the public excitement. II is
thrust at the Administration, and al ell
the recommendations of the Presidents
message. 1t is setting ones self above
the wisdom of all others, as well as against
the action of the Senate, and Of an I'm
mense majority of the House. There y.
cool cornplacency in such an act, thai
excites only amazement for its stoical su--
3acity."

The CALAMITY AT PENsAcoLA.-The Moh;,.
Advertiser gives the following particulars of thu
accident at Pensacola, mentioned by us the other
day:
storm of great violence was experienced At
Pensacola and the Navy Yard on Friday la st, which.
1t is supposed, must have ext ended its destructive
influence for some distance out in the Gulf, The
waves ran higher, breaking the bar and bea oh as
high as forty feet, than they have done for years
While the storm was raging, a schooner to the
west OF the Round Fort was observed to be drag
s'ng her anchors and likely to go ashore. Seeing
her danger, Passed Mdshipman Dyer, Of the U. s
schooner Flirt, Mr. Hale, Engineer at the Navv
YARD, and four seamen, jumped into boat and at
tempted to got" the rescue. After getting outside
the bar they pulled towards the schooner. hut. as
was supposed by those watching them, finding the
waves running high and their situation becominr
critical, they made effort to return. II was too
late. After making every exertion in their power
!or an hour, they were finally driven among the
breakers, where the hand of man could not save
them from watery grave. Parties were out Sun
DAY, but neither the bodies nor the wreck of the
ooa' had been found when the Swan left the NAVY
Yard on Sunday evening.
1t was the swell left by this terrible storm which
the Swan met Saturday night on her passage, but
she rode 1t with ease and safety. Several vessels
were known to have been wrecked, but we did not
near OF any further loss Of life.

entirely uninterssting to your numerous readers,
and especially to the citizens of Van BuIen county,
shall attempt to give pathological analysis ofthe
Indian name Of the fourishng town Of Keosauqua,
the county seat of Van Buren, county, and the ORR
gin OF that name.
OFT origin: have been told by many Of the
most ancient aboriginal inhabitants, who were in
the country, when came here, that when their an
cestors FIRST explored this country, they found an
old man residing on the bank Of the river call
ed Des Moines, without family, or any human CON-
panion. He dwelt in q small cabin, and cultivated
little piece Of passing his life in DEVOTION
al exercises, nshing, hunting, and limited agricui
ture. His new acquaintances were astonished at
his recluse manner of living, 80 contrary to their
notions of human society, and the almost univer-
sal sregarious inclination Of the red race Of man
kind. And although his complexion nearly re.
sembled theirs, and he wore no hat; two, almost
conclusive proofs, in their minds, that he de-
scendant of their own cast of the family of man,
still they were unable to hold any conversation with
him, and hence could learn nothing from him, IS to
his country, his ancestors or his origin.
After many fruitless efforts in endeavoring to
learn from whence he came, who he was, and what
was his Names in their disappointment and perplex-
ity they said 10 him
IKE, Ish, oquav'
Literally translated thus:
Ke; you, second person singular.)
lsh; from Ish'n auba, q nobleman, o. prince.
ok-qua; no negative. That is, they said, ssYou
are no Prince or nob,eman..' Still more LITERALLY
in American English, il may be reduced: "You are
no gentleman.''
There 10 coincidence in connection with this
etymology OF the term A in the Ozauk, or Sac Ian
guage, which Idesire to notice, as it may be of
some interest to the curious antiquarian, as well
as to the philologist. And first. Ish, is the He
brew term, by which Adam denominated himself.
At the time Of his marriage with Eve. Like any
other enraptured bridegroom, on seeing his bride,
he cried out, "she shall be called IsAa fem Of l,h
mot 'ssroman!' Adam was too modest to have
useo that Old vulgar Saxon term, sscombman ssbe.
cause she was taken out of Ish." Gen. chant. il.
s'2s. That is, she shall be called, Princess, Lady,
or Mistress, because she was taken out of Prince.
Nobleman or Master.
lsh'n auba, the Indian term for The red ,,c. =,
men, or as regarded BY them, the Prince, and no.
bility Of mankind, may be analyzed thus:
lsh; man. Ish'n; mans poss.)
As-bo; buck; the Prince Of the forest. That il,
literally, fsHuman Prince Of the Forest,
From this phraze; Keishokqsa, the early French
traders evidently had correct account of the ORR
gin and circumstances which gave this name TO that
river, and accordingly, regarding that lone
~ inhabitant a. recluse or Monk, they named it,
Ia risiere Des Moines, lie. River Of the Monk.
Which conveys the same sense a. the Indian |
phrase, Keishokqua sepo, i. e., River of the un-
natural man. Yours &C. re !

News From Santa Fe.

We learn fIom MIR Bertran Spratt, who came in
from Santa Fe, with the mail, that company of u,
s. Dragons had had skirmish with the Apache
Indians, at Riau, within fifty miles Of Santa Fe in
which one OF the Dragons and seven Of the In
dians were killed.
The Indians have had frequent skirnishes with
companies of Mexican hunters, but in none Of
them blood shed.
The Pueblo Indians report that they have seen
the child Of Mr. and Mrs White in the hands of the
Apaches. They have been instructed by the M.
thority and citizens Of Santa Fe to trade for it, at
any price that may be demanded.
From recent developments it is believed, that
Messrs Flournoy, Shaw, and others, who were
murdered a few months ago, were murdered by a
band OF Mexicans and Pueblo Indians. The proof
as to this is said to be quite conclusive. MIR S. IN
forms US, that they met large number of Indians
at Council Grove. They seemed kindly disposed,
and said they were waiting for Mr. Fitzpatrick,

MORE OF THE Troy TRAGEDy.--William A.
caldwell, who committed suicide at Troy, on the
night OF Tuesday last the Of James G.
Caldwell, Esq, who for many years was postmas-
ter at Whitehall, Washington county. and a neph-
ew of the Hon. Erastus u. Culver, ex-member Of
Congress Of that district. William began life with
great promise Of success and usefulness. Pos
sessed OF quick perceptions, and a ready business
tact, he for many years was popular clerk in the
post office at Whitehall, and then entered a store
In keesville. While there. in 1912, he became at
tache1 to young lady of that place. whose hand
was sought by another. This rivalry led to jeai-
ousy between the young men, which ended in ami
mostly. At Length he was induced, for some mis-
chievons purpose, to enter and remove a trunk
from the store in which his rival was clerk. for
which he was convicted of burglary. July 4th 1912,
and sentenced to the Auburn prison, for the term
OF tive years. Being too proud to appeal to his
friends, and his friends too much surprised and
mortified to lnterpose in his behalf at first, he
manned in pris on for months, before anything
was done for him. One of our citizens, who knew
his parents well, and William also, some years be-
fore, took measures to get the before the Gov
ernor, who. upon examination, very reality par
dnned him. His offence was regarded in the light
Of youthful indiscrction in love matter, rather
than partaking of the turpitude of premediated
crime. On leaving the prison, he went back to his
friends. His brother Wallace then being a
chant at WHITEHALL, he entered his store clerk,
where he remained for two or three years. He
tried to enter society again. and to be respected
before, in the circles in which he had formerly
moved. But he had been convict, and every in
attention and neglect fell upon him with force, as
