The Hudson Bay Company-Depreda
tion on the Red River Frontier.

On Tuesday last, two voyaeeurs ar
rived from Pembina, by means of dos
train. making the trip through Tin eigh,
teen days. They brought considerable
of mail, and from numerous letters for
warded by the trader of the American
Fur company at that remote post, N. w.
Kiitson, Esq, and others, we are enabled
TO CLEAN the folowig interesting news:
The Hudson's Bay company still con-
tinue their aggressions on the American
side of the iine-Two of their emissaries,
Charles Grant and Geo. Flap, are ira
ding within our territories without licease
and others are making preparations for
the same purpose. Flap was implicated
in the transaction which took place last
summer on the plains, between the half
breeds and Indians, and which was nigh
causing the murder Of several Of the lat.
ter. owing to the sale of liquor, which
had been brought into the country by
him and his associates. Grant procure.
nearly all the goods used III his trade di
rec,ly from the Hudson Bay company.

the murder of DR.. Parkman has been con-
cluded' and the jury in the case have rem
dered verdict Of "Ga7ty." The tes,i-

mind OF almost any man as to the guilt OF
the accused. This verdict saws the Piltsb' o

Death Of John e.. Calhoun

Intelligence was received yesterday o.
the death Of the great champion of the
South, John G.. Calhoun. He died at his
residence in Washington City, on las
Sunday morning, at ten minutes past sew
en- o'clock. None of his family but hi:
son, was present. The following partic
ulars we extract from the tclegraphic des
patch for the Pittsburg Post:
Mr.. Venable, of n. c., who occupied
the next room, was called, and came in
Mr.. Calhoun extended his hand. Hi:
eyes were very bright, and he was per
fecty conscious, but he did not speak -
Mr.. Venable found he had no pulse, and
poured out half glass of Madeira, wher
Mr.. c. raised his head and drank it, and
then fell back upon his pillow. Mr.. Orr
and Mr.. Wallace came in. When the
door closed, Mr.. G. turned his eyes il
that direction. and was perfectly conscious
OF every thing that passed. He squeezed
his sons hand convulsively; his lips mo
we'd, d his eyes were very expressive. Hi.
voice could not be heard. and when some
one leaned over him as if to listen, he
said. ii cannot speak" His breathing
was very hard until five minutes before
his death. One hand rested upon his
breast, and he raised the other and placed
II once or twice upon his head. Probably
the last rush of blood panied him. When
the breath left the body, it was like long
drawn breath. 1t was the last and all
was over. He died as easy as an infant,
and was perfectly conscious until the las
spark OF life had fed. His funeral viii
take place on Tuesday.
The body will be placed in a metallic
coffin and deposited in vault in the Con.
gressional bnrying ground, where two ol
his children are buried, and will remain
'hert until the wishes of Mrs. Calhour
are known.

He also uses liquor in he trade, wh,cl
he also procures from the same quarter
Thus the legitimate trade of American
citizens on American soil is not only
broug ht into competition with the capita
and influence of that powerful foreign
monopoly, but the damnable aid Of arden
spirits is called into requsition TO assis
its agents in their acts of aggression anc
usurpation. II check be not put to
these proceedings by the strong arm oi
our government, our traders will be com
PEELED 10 abandon their business in thai
quarter, & our northern frontier will, ere
long, witness scene of blood and carnage
revolving 10 humanity and the age in
which we live.-There is no reason
whatever TO suppose the persons named
above have come upon our territory with
intention OF becoming citizens. Grant is
the son of one Of the Royal company's
magIstrates-a man who has taken every
occasion TO abuse and Cypress our citizens
and the son is not unlike the father.
The settlement within our borders has
been increased By the addition of several
families from the Selkirk settlement, since
last summer, and several more are making
preparations to immigrate in the spring.
Major Woods visit 10 Pembina last sum
mer has given confidence to many, of the
future support and protection Of our gov
ornament; but the officials on the other
side are industrious in promulgatng opin-
ions that the only security for their lives
and property is 10 remain where they are.
1t is, therefore, absolutely necessary, if
our government intends 10 encourage
settlement on that frontier, that a suffi
cient force should be sent into the coun-
try without delay, to put stop to the
continual aggressions from the neighbor-
ing colony of Great Britain
Most of the Indians to the east of Penn
bina, owing to the disappearance of the
game from their winter grounds, and the
failure of their corn and rice, were IN
state of starvatIon.-Mr. Kittson was
doing his utmost to relieve them; but it
was so difficult, in the winter season, 10
transport provisions into their country,
that he was fearful he could accomplish
but little. To the west they were living
in abundance, rs the plains were cover
with buffalo.
Information has been received at Penn
bina, that the Mandan tribe of Indians on
the Missouri, which it will be remem-
bered, was greatly reduced. few years
since, by the ravages of the small pox, is
now threatened with entire extinction by
thesSioux. Every day one or two fall
victims to the cruelty of their unrelenting
enemies. The Mandans are desirous
that the government should interpose,
and checl, these bloody incursions into
their country.

From the N. o. Comm erciui Bulletin
The Nashville Convention.

The indications still continue 10 become
stronger daily. that the sectional conven-
ton, TO be held at Nashville, will be 4
complete failure. Even in Mississippi,
which was thought TO be so Jealous for
it, the strongest kind Of Union meetings
are being held in different sections of the
State. and the conduct of the Legislature
as regards the appointment of delegates
has been denounced as an uuwarrantable
assumption of power. In Virginia. the
opposition to the convention is very gem
eral and strong. In Texas, the feeling
against it is Overwhelming. and no, a
single county, so far as we have heard,
has yet responded TO the Recommendation
of the Legisla ture TO elect delegates.
Many Of the counties have refused even
10 vote on the question, and where the
vote has been taken scarcely in one coun-
ty has there been twenty ballots cast in
its favor. In Georgia, the Governor S
proc lamation Cor the election of dele
gates has been entirely unnoticed by the
people, and in Columbus, we perceive,
they had to call small meeting to ap-
point the delegates. and recommended
the same course should be adopted IN the
other counties. They are evidently un-
willing to submit the subjecito the peo.
pie by regular election, though so order
ed by the legislature and the Governor S
proclamation.
In this State, the people are sound TO
the very coie, on the subject of the Union
and opposed TO al! sectional conventions
The one now proposed TO be hald a
Nashville has too many strong points of
resemblance to the Hartford Contention.
and the political fate ofall those who may
attend it. will probably DC very similar.

S In another column will be found the
reported proceedings of the great mass
meeting which assembled at the Court
Hous. on Tuesday evening last. 1t was
by far the largest meeting ever assembled
in Ebensburg. Indeed its very density
contributed TO defeat one of the objects for
which it was called. As will be seen there
was no expression relative to the Delegates
to the WiIliamsport Convention; and the
matter will we presume be submitted 10
the people for their decision through their
delegates TO County Convention. Blu
week. We will defer them until our
next.

Heavy Steamboat Robbery.

The St. Louis Union of the 22d ult.
contains advertisement, signed John
IGrigsby, Il citizen Of California, and David
F. Mcclellan, of Jackson Co., Mississippi,
offering reward of $1,000 for the recovery
Iof sum of money, about $4,000, which
was stolen from the steamer Ne Plus
Ultra on Tuesday the 18th inst, oflsI l.
400 in money. They were passengers
on the boat on their return from California.
The robbery was perpetrated, probably
whilst the boat was lying at the Levee at
New Orleans, but was not discovered
until an hour after she had left port for
st. Louis. The money was IN a trunk
IN their state room, which was broken
open with a chisel, & the money extract.
ed since which time nothing has traspired
that would lead to its recovery. Messrs.
'Grigsby and Mcclellan came passengers
in the Georgia to Havana; in the .4uon
to Mobile, and reached New Orleans only
"a few hours previous to their starting for
for St. Louis.
At New Orleans they exchanged their
gold dust for gold, principally, consisting
of Ame lean Eagles and Sovereigns. and
with it took passage with other returning
emigrants for St. Louis, on the Ne Plus
Ultra. Ofthe money lost Sc, 100 belonged
to Mr.. Grigsby, the residue to MIR. Nc.
Gillian.
