company of fifteen persons who left El Paso on
the l2th OF September, and came by the upper
route through Fredericksburg, arrived at San
Antonio a few days ago. From one OF the compa
| ny the San Antonio Ledger learns the following
intelligence:
The inhabitants of FL Paso and Presidio counties
have been much alarmed for the safety of their set
| Elements by the withdrawal OF the United States
| troops from their immediate section. The post al
San Ezario had been vacated, and an order re-
ceiyed from Colonel Sumner TO vacate the post at
Franklin, and move up the river (Rio Grande) at
or about the line of 80 degrees, which leaves the
entire western border of this State sposed 10 la
dian mercy. Troops have been stationed al Vale
Verde in the Indian country, it is true, but with
out sufficient force TO protect the frontier settle
msnts.
The Apaches have on one or two occasions paid
the vicinity OF FL Paso visit, and retreated with
only few stolen animals, by way of recruiting
their forces Above the Pass every description OF
stock has been seized and driven off by this law
less band of wild land pirates. They do not even
respect our Boundary Commission or its escort.
At the Copper Mines they laid claim TO their ami
mails, and our friends of the commission were left
to foot it, as Adam did when driven forth from his
native home.
| The chihuahua merchants have traded, and still
continue TO trade freely and literally with our
business at FL Paso and the adjacent towns would
rapidly increase and assume q regular nd perma
nent character; at present there is great cry of
insecurity.
The recent explorations of the past season have
confirmed the oft told tale of gold ON the Gila. A
| considerable party of miners spent last summer in
the region OF the ella, and have reaped rich har
vest. Their agent was in El Paso. in September
last, purchasing winter stores There is every
reason to believe that the Gila mines rich. A
large emigration is expected to arrive there the
| coming spring.
Our informant met on the Pecos four of he COM
pany who started from Alabama last spring for tho
Gila. They took the route by way OF Red river;
they all suffered much from sickness, and many
left the company. Gen. Davea, of Alabama, was
one of the party, and, at the time the Judge met
him, unable to mount his horse The othern,
also. very feeble. They had concluded to
| come TO this city in company with Wentworths .
train. Had the Judge and party not met them or
they received succor from some other source, they
probably would have perished. They mediate
starting, after they recruit themselves. by San
Antonio and Ell Paso route.
| The Indian tribes of various nations were con-
| gregating in great numbers on the waters of the
San Saba for the purpose OF meeting the Indian
agent.
| Col Rogers left here (San Antono) a few days
since to treat with the Indians, taking with him
provisions, Indian clothing, &C., for distribution.

The INDIAN WILD CAT.-Wild Cat, and his col

troops lately stationed opposite Eagle Pass, and
proceeded towards Camargo, in order to oppose
the revolutionary party. The San Antonio Ledger
states that much anxiety prevails at Eagle Pass in
consequence ofthe hostile attitude assumed by some
of Wild Cats tribe. The arrest of Gopher John,
and another runaway negro at Eagle Pass, has ex-
asperated them, and they threaten rescue and
vengeance. These negroes arc now confined in the

sUGpEN ON VENDORS.

A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE LAW
IN OF VENDORS AND PURCHASERS OF ES-
'rATES By the Right Hon. Sir Edward Sugden.
In two volumes. With Notes and References of
American Decisions on the Law of Vendors and
Purchasers, 10 the present time. BY J. G. Per-
Sns, esq. Seventh American from the eleventh
London edition. Springfield Mass. Published by
GEoReE CHARLES MERRIAM 1851.
"The celebrated treatise of Sir Edward Sugden,
on the law of Vendors and Purchasers, has long
been a standard work upon the law relating to the
transfer of real estate. No other book In the lam
guagc contains such thorough and satisfactory
discussion of all the points hich arise in the legal
construction of contracts rclating to real property,
their formation, validity, the evidence that may
affect them, and the modes OF rescinding or en-
forcing them. That il s duly appreciated by the
profession, wherever the common law prevails, Is
evidenced by the fact that it has reached eleven
editions in England and seven in this country, the
last of which is just issued.
"The tenth was the last English edition which re
ceived many substantial additions from the learned
author, and to that, he stated in his advertisement
the alterations and additions were very exten
sive.' The writer, he afterwards adds, has
bestowed more time and labor upon this than upon
any former production
'The notes and references of the American editor
are very numerous, and for the American pracu
toner are exceedingly valuable. No decisions OF
leading authority seem to have escaped MIR. Per
kinss attention, while there 10 pretence for say
ing that, in single instance, he has introduced an
authority which was not pertinent, or, after the
manner of too many book making editors, piled
up authorities unnecessarily in illustration of un-
disputed points. We ought TO add that the Ameri.
can notes entirely new. The table alone OF
English and American cases cited in the two vol
umes occupy over fifty pages in double columns.
The index 10 the work, like every thing else about
it, s scientific and thorough. II embraces over one
hundred pages."-N. Y. Erening Post, Oct. a,
