The Portland brings Galveston papers to the
10TH and those from the interior OF earlier dates.
We CLEAN the following items. A majority Of the
papers are out for the Pearce bill.
The news from the frontier is indicative Of a
general Indian war. The letter of our correspon-
dent at the Waco Village has given us some facts
which show the apprehensons of some OF our
frontier citizens, who have held daily intercourse
with the border tribes for the las years, and
who are probably not alarmed without good cause.
We have learned also that Major Neighbors, who
arrived in town a day two ago, states that the
Camanches have declared that they have had plum
der enough, and that now they will have blood

Talbot and Vernon.-Ths is American novel,
which has just issued in handsome style from the
press of Baker & Scribner, of New York. II is the
production of new hand, as yet unknown TO fame,
but one who is destined, if we mistake not, to
establish himself on very good terms with the pub
lie. Indeed, we should not be surprised if, in the
announcement of this work, we herald only the
precursor Of series of some of the most attractive
hctions which have enriched this branch Of Anne
rican literature. Not that we regard this story TO
be faultlcss, a work of art-for il is evidently
thrown off with great rapidity, and is not without
some traces Of negligence and want of careful fin
ish-but it is tale of deep interest, constructed
with great skill, and marked by rare freedom and
vigor of execution. 1t shows, too, an unquestion-
able capability Of still higher achievements in the
line of fiction, from which we augur the most ia
vorable results. The book, however, deserves a
cordial reception for what il is. IL is for a
moment tedious or dull. From beginning 10 end,
the narrative moves forward with spirit and force.
In that part Of il devoted 10 the heros adventures
in Mexico, while following the army Of Taylor,
the author has broken ground in new field for the
novelist, and nothing can be finer than his descrp-
ton Of some Of these scenes. There is wild and
picturesque reality thrown this portion Of his
story, in which the signs of master. The
battle Of Buena Vista, also, in which he would APP
pear to have been engaged, is given with singular
boldness and yivdness while the trial at the close,
after the hero's return from the war, Is effective
and exciting in extraordinary degree Alto
gether, though might pick hole here and
there, we like the book nightly. No reader, we
think-certanly no critical reader-can fail to be
struck with the drectness and energy OF the style,
the and nature Of the dialogue, its skilful
sketches Of character and the freshness and beauty
rsrsfs.. n
TO commit ourselves to a literary prophecy, we
should say that this book cannot fail Of great run
IL is too rich in the elements Of popularity, too full
Of vigorous genius, not 70 have triumphant sale.
We shall look with eager curiosity to any further
productions from the same pen.

better administered than they ever before
had. Our views are formed upon what
we see around lis upon what we know
Of the purposes of agitation upon de-
sire to see the question settled, and its
settlement fixed fact
The Courier and Enquirer reminds US of
the company in which we find ourselves
in urging compromise and settlement of
the slavery agitation. 1t seems to think
that, because the Union, the Pennsyiva-
MAN, and the Richmond Enquirer, are in
favor Of compromise, we should not be;
and we are told that Mr.. FooTE, who pro-
posed to raise the Committee of Thirteen,
is Locofoco; that the Albany .Argus and
other INSCRIPTIONS revilers of the PREsI-
DENT have laid aside their differences on
other points, SC. If it will do the Courier
and Enquirer any good to admit that this
is tolerably Indifferent company for a
Wing to keep, we have no objection to
pleasing it /; yet we do not see that the
Post, the Albany .dtlas, &C., &C., in whose
society our contemporary for the present
finds itself, are much better. And if Gen
eral FooTE proposed the Committee of
Thirteen, Colonel BENToNi is the leader of
the opposition against their recommen-
dations. Nor can we think it any dispar-
agement of our Whiggery that we should
be found with WEBSTER, CLAY, BELL,
MANGUM, and DAWSON, instead of BRAD
BURY, BENTON, CHASE, and HAMLIN. But
a truce to these encounters The country
needs the restoration of concord and har-
mony; how best to achieve that great end
is the question of the day.
A word in regard to the bills introduced
by the Committee of Thirteen. The OPP
position which the report and PROPOSE
tons encountered upon their introduction
would scarcely indicate that either section
of the Union is required to sacrifice any
thing to the other. Will the passage of
the committees bills bring peace and re-
pose to the country That is the ques-
ton now; and our own course is regulated
by our opinion of their value as a RENE
dy for the troubles that are upon u.s.

The fast sailing, clipper built ship Grey Eagle,
Captain Donley, from Rio Jsneiro, arrived IN the

thirty-two days The Grey Eagle is famous for
having made the shortest trip from Atlantic port

Secretary Of Legation, who was buried few days

He was universally lamented by the Americans in
port. Having been acquainted with Mr.. Morgan,

From hs Ne,p York Tribnne,

We have observed with regret, in one or two re-
spectacle journals intimations that in negotiating
the treaty nov before the Senate, Mr.. Clayton has
proved too much for Sir Henry Bulwer, and got the
bost end OF the bargain. Such statements are in
our view even less complimentary TO the American
Secretary than to the British ambassador, for they
imply on his part rather the duplicity of pcdlar
than the open and manly dealing which alone is
worthy the name Of diplomacy in these times, and
which VIC have every reason TO believe especially
characterized the negotiations in question. And
especially are they unjust 10 the ambassador whose
conduct IN the whole affair worthy the repre-
sentative Of great nation, arranging for mutual
advantage matter in which the whole world has
profound interest. This treaty we regard as
marking better era in diplomatic transactions,
and as establishing new and broader principles in
national relations than have hitherto prevailed.
Such, we are confident, will be the opinion Of fair
men Of all parties whenever IL shall be made pub
lie And lift is 10 be spoken Of a triumph at all,
Il ought TO be not a. the triumph Of jockey over
man very hard 10 be cheated, but as the triumph
Of good sense and msgnanimity, from which the
contracting parties, and all other nations, can reap
nothing but benefit.

SOMETHING NV AND vALUABLE.--Dr. J. II. John.
son, Of New Orleans, has made a discovery, which
the Crescent believes will prove invaluable, only
in the saving Of human life ITSELF bat also i'm
mcnse amount ofprOperty.
The discovery, or invention, IS "Frs- proof
ROPE" for steamboat tillcrs and marine steamers;
and in fact for all purposes where the action Of FIRE
would prove an active power in destroying the
agents Of machinery; far at least the useful-
meas Of hemp, manila, other hbrous substances,
are concerned.
The chain and wire tiller out Of use, from ne
ocssity, becauseOf their being unserviceable and
unmanagesble. Our floating palaces, not only on
the high, bot inland seas and rivers, can be
protected against great danger, viz: deficient
"tiller," by which the artificial "swsn upon the
waters" IL controlled. The laws Of Congress upon
the subject Of the iron clain and cirs filler rope,
dead letter. There is no prudent master Of YES
se, or intelligent pilot Of steamer, but will the
"hre. proof rope" The Crescent adds: We have
seen u tested in "sanctum," and think il 10 be
ore Of the inventions Of the age, which will, we
doubt not, not only advance the reputation Of the
discoverer, but prove Of great service TO the human
family.
Arrangements will be made, we learn, 10 intro.
duce the manufactured article into general use no,
only for our steamers and sail vessels, but for The
United States steam marine.
