WASHINGTON, JULY 81.

Mr.. Cromwell, from the Comm 1tee
on Indian Affairs, reported the Senate biz.
to enable the President to negotiate trea-
ties of friendship and boundaries with
the Indians south and west OF the Mis-
souri, river, north of the northern line Of
Texas, aud about New Mexico He
said these tribes number thirty thou
sand warriors, and we have already, du-
ring the present session, in consequence
of hostile demonstrations on their part,
authorized additional expenditures of
two or three millions. The Government
is satisfied, that if treaty could be en-
tered into with these tribes, it would be
attended with favorable results. There
are now captive women and children a.
mong them, taken from the Western set
dement's, and it is our DUTY to rescue
them; this can be done by treaties, the
expenses of which will be 100000.
He moved that the bill be put on its pas
sage, as it contained an appropriations
Referred 10 Committee Of the Whole.
The Senate bills on the Speakers Ia
BILE were taken up and referred.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole on the Fertilization bill:
the pending motion was to strike out an
appropriation Of $4,000 for defensive
works near Detroit
Mr.. Bissell replied to the charge of Mr..
Carter yesterday. that Detroit was the
common receptacle for public plumber,
and that portion of the people paupers.
He culogized that portion of the country,
and offered motion.
Mr.. Carter replied, when the Commit

ton. aF

Plains-Mititary Movements.
FoRT LARAMIE, July lst, 1850.
For few days past the emigration
has very sensibly diminished, but still
the road is thronged, and large crowd
yet behind. Up to last evening the
number of names registered at this place
was 1892. The number of wagons
s,773. Making small allowance for
those who have not put down their names
we shall have about 10000 for the num-
Der of those who have passed this point.
The leading trains passed here two
months since, and must now be in the
vicinity of Sacramento. Between that
point and this. there is one continuous
line Of gold diggers, dragging its Glow
length towards the Pacific. From the
scarcity of provisions amongst many Of
the emigrans, there can DE little doubt
that the suffering will be frightful in the
California mountains. The Government
should push forward from California
supplies to relieve those who started on
a 1000 miles journey with provisions
for 1900.
The sickness this season has been
much more fatal than ii was last. A
gentleman just from the frontier, states
that he counted no less than six hundred
and forty-five new graves along the road.
The troops are quite healthy, bat many
emigrants have been left here in dying
state, and consequently the mortality has
been great. Most Of the sickness has
been produced by inattention to diet,
want of proper clothing, and drinking
stagnant water.
We are in the midst of the rainy sea.

hail storms that would do credit to al
most any country. Yours, &c.,

For The Courier.

Ii is certainly a reflection calculated
to inspire every lover of scientific pro-
gress, with enthusiasm and pride; that
while Earring elements Of strife and dis
cord-in party and sect, are stirring the
fountains Of the great deep with hot
ebulition-developing many theories as
inconsistent as they are revolving to good
sense: the science and practice of medi-
cine, with step as sturdy and buoyant,
as vigorous manhood, strides onward
and upward with rapidity not excelled
by the progress Of any science. in any
age.
new era has dawned upon the pro-
fession in Iowa; upon the occasion Of
which, must be allowed to tender it my
hearty, though humble congratulations.
The most striking feature of the march
of the science in Iowa, in addition TO its
conventional aspects the incorporation
by the State University, of Medical
Department
This Institution, after closing its Sec
ond term at Davenport, with perfect en-
thusiasm, has found more favorable
location at Keokuk, Iowa; where it is
hailed with auspicies truly gratifying to
its friends.
am happy to state, that j, was my
peculiar good fortune, to attend it during
its last term at Davenport, and | must
confess, that was agreeably disappoin-
ted in finding its Faculty at least equal,
and in many impor tant respects, superior
TO the Faculty of the Medical depart
ment of the Missouri University.
do confidently assert it as my hon
est opinion, that there is no faculty west
of the Alleghanies, better qualified in
every thing pertaining to the duties of
medical teachers, than is the Faculty of
the Medical Department, of the Univer.
sity OF Iowa.
Those who visit this college, will find
its Faculty to be men of oiguiied de-
pertinent. Courteous and generous in
their intercourse, they have won the es-
TEEN Of all who have put themselves
under them for instruction, and in no
case have l heard of any leaving dissa.-
isfed-all feeling that they had been
well paid for their time and money
Clinical and anatomical illustrations a
bundant. Indeed their illustrations of
morbid anatomy are truly sublime and
profuse. The chemical department is
not to be surpassed IN the west. Bot
l cannot do justice to the faculty, without
speaking at all the chairs in the same
ffattering terms.
In conclusion | would say to all those
who desire spending the ensuing winter
in the medical lecture rooms, that it is
worse than folly to pass Keokuk, and
with the assurance that you shall there
receive ample reward for your toll and
money, | cid You the time of day in the
hope of meeting you this fall in Keokuk
at the Temple of EscGlapius.
