: have no wish that is incompatible with the dig
nifty, happiness and true interest of the people OF

United States free from political connexions with
every other country, to zee them independent
of all and under the influence Of none. In word,
: want an american character, that the powers OF
Europe may be convinced we act for ourselves,
and not for others. This, in my judgment, is the
only way to be respected abroad and happy at

GENTLEMEN: The news from below Yesterday
IT, that the mail wagon between Elizario and this
place was attacked on the Tornado, near the
southern opening. This time, however, the mai
party was prepared for their assaiants Inside
the wagon were party of United States soldiers,
VINO were unseen by the Indians. These last were
allowed to approach within thirty yards, when
the soldiers jumped from the wagon, much to the
surprise OF the Indians, who discharged volley al
them and then This discharge killed one of
the mail party and wounded two others; also
killed mule and crippled another, making it me-
cessary for the party TO return TO Dona Ana. The
Indians were fired in turn; il is supposed some
oil them were killed.
more painful report is, that the January mail
between San Antonio and Ell Paso, which failed to
arrive. has been cut off 1t is said that not far from
Eagle Spring, and between that and the Rio del
Norte, wagon tires have been found and some oher
articles, including a mana hat, which had beer
perforated by bullet, and containing papers
which showed 1t belonged to the conductor OF the
mail.
On the return of the party, they found on the
road an American who had lust been killed and
sealped This man had most imprudenty ven
tured on foot alone through this dangerous pass.
IL Is said however, that he II a man who has been
recently under arrest a charge of murder and
who may have been somewhat reckless on that &C :.
count.
1t not doubted that the mail has been intercept
ed by the Indians, and all who with il either
killed or captured The probability H. that the
Indians concerned in ii were Apacbes, though the
Comanches consider themselves to be al ,rer below
line running east from FL Paso, and upon the
ground where this outrage happened. Others have
suggested that the scoundrelly Jicariilas-who have
disappeared ESQ it is sadly from their more usual
haonts-were the perpetrators; which. however.
