SAD new. from Lieut. Hudson.

Sad news from Lieut.. Hudson.
We have been permitted TO publish the follow
ing, for the information Of the numerous friends Of
the gallant soldier, whose speedy recovery they
pray for. The papers confirm the account of Lieut..
Hudson's being 40 severely If not MORALLY, wound-
ed, and we shall look forward with much anxiety
for the next news concerning him. The Indians,
with whom he has been engaged, are deadly hostile
to the whites, and by their constant depredations
both upon Mexicans and Americans, have kept the
companies at Laredo busy, ever since they have
been stationed at that place. These willy Indians
contrive to avoid every thing like pitched battle,
and it is only by following up the trail OF detached
parties that they can be punished. Even then, by
adjustments, they frequently do much mischief to
their pursuers, as they did in the case before
We learn that Lieut.. Hudson has been in severa,
skrmishes of this kind, in which he has borne the
palm Of being brave and gallant soldier.

Des Ndeines Improvement.

Dss Meines Improvement.
The Gazette, and other loco foco papers are At
tempting to make capital out Of statement made
"upon the authority Of Col. JESSE WILLIAMS, Sec
Rotary OF the Board Of Public Works, that intelli.
gence had been received from Washington Of . re-
cent decision By Mr. Ewing, Secretary ofthe lnteri-
or, which reverses the decision Of Mr. Walker, the
former head OF the Treasury Departmental relation
to the extent of the grant Of land made to Iowa by
act Of Congress, for the improvement Of the Des
Moines river" Whatever may have been the
opinions of either Mr. Walker or Mr. Ewing, matters
not. The question 10 question oflaw and Of fact
Mr. Ewing's reputation a. . good lawyer would
hardly permit him to make decision contrary to
the intention ofthe grant, and do not believe he
has done il.
The loco focos declare that Mr. WALKER decided
that the grant included every alternate section fol
to it, source. Now we have never seen any such
decision Of Mr. Walker. The only approximation
70 such decision, we nnd in the Report Of the
Board ofPublic Works, which contains letter or
the subject, not from Secretary Walker, but from
R. NJ. Young, the then Commissioner Of the Gene
raj Land once. The extract from that letter or
this subject, is aS solowS:-
0By the terms Of the law, the grant is, Of one
equal moiety, in alternate sections Of the public
lands rcmaining unsold and not otherwise disposed
Of, encountered appropriated, in q strip five
miles in width on each side Of said river, to be Sc
lected within said Territory &c, &C., and the pro
ceeds are to be applied in the Improvement Of the
navigation Of that river, from its mouth to the
Raccoon Forks. Hence the State is entitled to the
| alternate sections within Eve miles Of the Dea
| Mones river, Throughout the whole extent Of that
| river, within the limits Of Iowa.'
We have not time to go thoroughly into this mat
ter now, and show that the wings would be glad for
the Des Moines Valley to have all the land to which
it is entitled, but we feel called upon to make a
short extract from the Report Of the Board of Public
Works, SO that our readers may see that the Com
missioner did interpret the extent of the grant
as the Board did when they utter the following
plaints:-
"The same commissioner Of the General Land
Office who on the 23d Of February, l84S, said that
we were entitled to those lands ssthroughout the
whole extent Of that river" did, on the 18th Of
sumo following advertise part Of those lands for
sale by proclamation, as belonging to the United
States"
In the further discussion Of this subject, call
upon our loco foco friends to furnish US with the
decision Of Mr. Walke-if they can, and with Mr.
Ewng's also. We need only say that they will pro-
baby have to acknowledge themselves to have been
premature in thus denouncing Mr. Ewing, a. Rich
ardson was in his charges against the same inti-
vidual. The committee reported that there was no
foundation for Richardson's charges, and we think
this question will terminate something like it.

laborng man.
It's now our highest honor and our greatest
pleasure to be introduced to the noble citizens of
this State, and to become acquainted with those
whom we may soon claim as fellow citizens. May
this first exchange of salutations he the expression
OF our earnest thanks for your hospitality and kind
offices, which we can never forget
Gentlemen These. my few words, are proba-
bly, the swans song Of my political past for till
shall be SO happy as to become an entitled andver-
liable citizen of this State, shall hardly enjoy the
occasion and honor to address public meeting.
Until then, close, with the assurance that we
remain ever ready to defend with our lives and
property this union and the constitution Of this
May God strengthen US in our purpose, and pros
per the growth of this State, to which shall con-
tribute our most Jealous efforts.
Those Germans who had the pleasure of being
present-and there were quite number-will not
soon forget the interview. Instead Of replying to
the Mayor in the Hungarian language, he address
ed him in German. thus paying a handsome and
thoughtful compliment to that portion of our fellow
citizens. The speech Of the Governor must have
have been rich treat to them, and they all agree
in saying that it was not only most eloquent ef-
fort but that the translation falls far Short in
veyink the strength, power and pure eloqpence of
the original. We have no doubt OF this, but not
withs landing, those who read the translation will
not fail to discover the fire Of pure patriotism
which it SO Enthusiastically breathes forth. As
it was translated paragraph by paragraph, the feel
ngs of the crowd gushed out in the most rapturous
applause thus demonstrating that they most cerGi-
ally sympathzed with and heartily welcomed the Sc
guests of their city.
Owing to illness, Major BERASYr was not able to
participate in the public reception. After the Gov
ernor concluded his speech, the citizens were for
mally and individually introduced to him and his
compatriots. Hwas gratifying scene, with which
all seemed highly delighted.

TeIegraphlc Summary.

The United States Senate having adjourned from
Friday to Monday, that branch of the national
legislature was not in session yesterday. No pro-
sress. was made in, the House of Representa-
tives with the territorial bills. 1t is really to be
hoped that the members of the House will proceed
with them rapidly as possible, in preference to
anything else. We are glad TO learn, as we do by
our private correspondence from Washington, that
the friends Of union, peace and harmony, are con-
fident of carrying those bills We are glad to see
that those measures receive the sanction, and it
appears, meet the wishes, of the people of Texas.
We learn so by our Geographic intelligence.
The proceedings in the Texan Legislature, on the
meeting of that body, are very important. They
unanimously resolved to maintain the integrity of
their territory at all hazards in reference of course,
10 the claim of that State to a portion of New
Mexico, and bill introduced to raise five regi
ments, of one thousand men each. We hope
there will be occasion for their services. 1t WILL
however, depend upon the action Of the House OF
Representives at Washington.
Of letter addressed by the late Professor Web
ster TO the Rev. Or. Parkman, brother of the late
DR.. Parkman, on the sixth of last month II is
conceived in very Christian spirit, begging forgiv-
ness, and, expressing sorrow for the dreadful as
which the unfortunate writer committed in killing
10 believe that he killed his victim in the manner
stated in his last confession, viz: in a moment Of
passion land without generalization.

In favor Of the Atlantic. :. .....

1HVOr OF 10. hOurS.
Concede as much detention at Halifax to the Gu
nard steamers as their warmest friends may claim,
for the sake of short passage, it appears that the
Atlantic landed her passengers and mails at Liver
pool, three hours ahead of the Asia. That's the
point with the public. But the Asia is a splendid
steamer, and the Cunard Company deserve the
highest credit for their energy and enterprise.
With the Collins and Cunard steamers we ought
to be satisfied. Only ten days in crossing the At
lantic is wonderful. Nine days will be more so.
