Captain Marcy and his Command.

The public mind has been painfully excited
in regard to the truth or falsehood of the re-
ported massacre Of Captain MARCY and his
followers, by Comaoche Indians. Yester-
day report was current in the city that tel
egraphic despatch had been received from Col.
MAY to the effect that the report was true, and
that he had been ordered in immediate pursuit
of the savages. We are unable to say what
importance is to be attributed to this despatch,
not knowing its date or precise language. In
our telegraphic column will be found de-
spatch received last evening from Louisville,
Kentucky, dated the 18th instant, in which it
is stated that Captain MARCY and his conn.,
mand are safe at Fort Arbuckle. We hope
and believe that this will prove true.

General Piercc's Position on River and
Harb0r ImProvements In 1852.


We have found difficulty heretofore in as
signing to the candidate Of the Democracy
definite position, for the present year. upon some
of the questions of general interest to the Anne
rican people in the canvass now going on in
this country. This difficulty has arisen partly
from the fact that General PIERcE's services
in the cabinet, as we'll as in the field, have
been of that moderate character which failed
to attract the attention Of the country at the
time they were performed, and he thus passed
through the period Of action without making
his "mark;" partly from the fact that, belong
ing to the progressive" Democracy, and not
having Of late years been in Congress, it has
been impossible for us to aver, with absolute
certainty, what vagaries and errors of his party
he had outgrown within the last ten years, and
what he still adhered to, in spite of the light
every year shed upon our path.
But we are able this morning to lay before
our readers conclusive proof Of Gen. PrERcE's
views in 1852 upon one of the great questions
involved in the approaching election. We con-
graduate the country upon being able to
fix" this wary politician upon the subject of
river and harbor Improvements. We now
know just what to expect for river and harbor
improvements if the Democratic nominee is
elevated to the Presidency. If these improve
ments shall be arrested by the election of Gen.
eral PIERCE ihe deed will be done with the eyes
Of the people wide open, and the inhabitants
of the lake shores and of the borders Of our great
rivers should never afterwards send any petit.
tions to Congress for opening or improving
their waters. People Of the Northwest and Of
the Southwest, understand the issue before
you, and in November next promulgate your
decision whether to receive or to reject the i'm
provemen's you have been asking of the Cen
eral Government. If you vote for General
PIERCE, you condemn the policy of the petit
tions you have yourselves presented to Con-
gress, and, to the extent of your ability, you
voluntarily render all your hopes impossible of
fuIfilment.
But TO the proof. We present below the
views of the Democratic nominee, as promul-
gated by him in January last on the subject
under consideration. On account of the facili-
ty Of reputation of imputed opinions, exhibited
by General PIERCE and his friends, we have
been careful to ascertain the exact reliable
truth on the subject, before laying the follow
ing statement of his views before the public.
We now challenge contradiction of any part oi
the statement hereafter set forth. Mr.. HAIR

all reach of impeachment. lie is a repu-
table magistrate Of New Hampshire, and has
