BALTIMORE, July %.
The United States Mail steamship Baltic

evening, bringing four days later European
intelligence-her dates from Liverpool be-

to the 18th Of July.
British Mail steamship Europa had ar
rived out to Liverpool, but her news caused
no new feature in Cotton, which was in de-.

Massacre Of United States Troops.

We are indebted, says the Montgomery
Gala Journal, to friend for late copy Of
the Fort Smith (Ark. } Herald, of the 18th
inst, containing the news of an express from
Fort Arbuckle, the outer frontier station, Of
the murder of Capt. Marcy and his command
of 80 men, by the Camanches. Captain
Marcy was on an exploring expedition to the
head waters of Red River. The Camanches,
in number about 1000, first stampeded the
horses and mules in the night, and attacked
the troops, and fought them during the
whole of the next day before they succeeded
in killing all. 1t is believed by the officers
at Fort Smith, that all the wild tribes are
concentrating for a general assault on the
posts and settlements, and that an Indian
war is inevitable. The government has, on
that frontier, only one-half regiment.

Fish or no Fish.

1t will be seen by articles in to-day's pa
per, says the Atlanta (Ga.) Intelligencer,
that there is a prospect of serious brush
between this country and England, growing
out Of the difficulties of the fishing question.
The difficulty arises from difference in the
construction of the terms of the treaty of
1918, in which American fishermen are per-
mitted to fish within three miles of the coast
the fishermen claiming the right to enter
the bays and cOves, for fishing purposes, pro-
vided they keep three miles, from shore,
while England now contends that the coast
line must run from headland to headland,
thus shutting out the fishermen from all the
most valuable grounds. 1t seems that the
American construction of the treaty has been
practically acquiGsced in by England ever
since 1878, and the fishermen have until
now, enjoyed the benefits of this construction.
Since the now Ministry have been installed
in Office, however, England has taken meas
ures to enforce a different construction, at
the lannon's mouth, and this without wait
ing to negotiate with the United States on
the subject Two American vessels have
already been captured by the British wal
vessels. The United States Sloop of War
Albany is reported to have been despatched
to the scene of the difficulties, and Congress,
we see, is beginning to movein the matter

WASHINGTON. July %. 1852.

WASHINGTON, July ", 1907.
Mr.. Mason, the chairman of the commit
tee, on Foreign Affairs of the Senate, who
won public appreciation by his recent demon
stratiOn in support of American rights in re-
gard to the Tehuantepec question, has to-
day established another claim to public re-
gard, by bringing forward his resolution con-
corning the equally delicate and more press
ing question in relation to the menaced assault
on our fishing fleets.
Mr.. Mason's resolution, after long and
animated discussion, was unanimously pass
ed 1t calls for information on the subject,
and also inquiries what steps the President
has taken to protect our citizens and their
vessels. This involves Of course, the ques-
ton whether it is not Incumbent on this
government to meet force with force, as at
least a precautionary measure.
The advocates of the American side OF the
question took the ground that our feet ought
to be sent to the Gulf St. Lawrence, and sent
there with orders to protect our citizens IN
the rights which our government assumes
to be their legitimate rights. Our Navy
must prevent the threatened expulsion of
our people from the waters where they have
been employed for thirty years. We can
make no treaty with any under the cannon s
mouth. By assuming that she has the ex
elusive right to fish in these watres, and
sending force there to seize or expel our
vessels, Great Britain determines to enforce
her orders at the lannon's mouth.

Seward has published letter to create
the belief that he would not accept cabinet
from Gen. Scott. The New
Mirror, a Fillmore paper, well remarks, that
while he has not conceived, and does not nOD
conceiUe, any circumstances that would lead
him to seek or accept Office under any Pres
ident, he leaves it quite open and possible
that he get may conceive circumstances that
would induce him to walk into a cabinet.

"The Union Democrat. "

This is the paper, says the Washington
Union, whose files the Republic has beer
searching to find something which would
justify its conspiracy against Gen. Pierce, in
tended to make him unacceptable to the PEG
pie of the South The Union Democrat il
published at Manchester, New Hampshire
and it denied, at the time, the New Boston
libel, which the Republic said had never beer
questioned. We would commend to the
wing organ the following article from the
Democrat of the 21st, and wait to see wheth
err it has the manliness to retract the false
charges it has circulated, and redress for the
wrong it has attempted to do to the demo
cratic candidate:
From the Union Democrat.
TRICKs OF THE ENEMY.--We had an in.
timation not long since that the wings IF this
city were preparing "haSty plate of soup"
for southern palates, and that the principal
ingredient was to be the New Boston cores,
pondence of the Independent Democrat and
its co-worker in this city. In other words,
we understood that an effort would be made
to ALLEVIATE the southern friends of General
Pierce, by scattering broadcast through that
section Of the Union the false reports OF MS
speech at New Boston last December, pub
lished in the papers above alluded to.
The plot seems to have matured suddenly;
for the Washington Republic of the 18th
instant contains, an ertensO, the correspond
ence alluded to. The editor states that ''the
CORRECTNESS of the report Gin the Independent
has never been questioned" He is mis-,
taken. We were present at that meeting;
we heard every word that was uttered; and
we took the earliest occasion to brand the
report as false in all its length, breadth, and
thickness. 1t was so, as hundreds are ready
to testify. The report in the other abOli-
ton organ doubtless by the same penn we
did not notice at length, for it occurred tc
us that every line was lie, and, as it was
impossible to correct all, correcting a part
only might seem to admit the rest GrOsseI
falsehoods were never penned, or in basel
spirit 1t was an infamous attempt to ar
ray Gen. Pierce against himself and against
his party, to sustain the tottering fabric Of
abolitionism by an intimation th t the very
leader of the democracy had assented to Their
heresies, or least had relaxed his opposi
ton.
The editor of the Republic must have fell
that he was called on to do the dirty work
of dirty men when requested to publish the
articles in question. He certainly cannot
be ignorant of the more distinct events in
the political history of New Hampshire fol-
the last eight years, nor of the extent and
character Of Gen. Pierce's participation in
those events. He knows perfectly we'll tina
for all that time Gen. Pierce has been tht
constant target for the malicious aim of abo
litiunists at home and abroad. Yet in biz
desperation, or perhaps petulance, in being
called upon to support an odious candidate
he throws open his columns to matter false
on its face, false in history, and false by the
concurrent testimony of both the friends anC
the enemies of Gen. Pierce. We may re
fer to this matter again.

IN feeling terms BE said he had not look
ed ior such testimonial Of regard and such
q welcome home. His heart was deeply
touched, not By tie brilliant display around
him, but By tbb fact that the community a.
mong whom be bed 50 long dWelt, who knew
him so we'll, should have manifested such
unbounded esteem. After proceeding fur
Their in this strain, be alluded to our politi-
cal position.
Mr.. Sprague, be said, had been pleased to
refer TO recent occurrences, upon which be
did not deem it fit for him to say anything
as the time had not yet come. Whatever he
had good or valuable in him, he would hold
in his own keeping, and not trust it to the
WayWardness of others.
He then alluded to the fishery question,
and said it would not become him to say
much on that point, until be spoke officially,
but he would assure them the administration
would not neglect the matter under any cir.
cumstances. The fishermen be continued,
shall be protected in their rights at all haz-
ards. Why should they not? Most potent
consequences we're involved. The fisheries
were the nurseries of navy, from which the
most glorious triumphs had sprung, Their
sudden interruption by England cannot be
justified by any principle or consideration
whatever. 1t was wholly uniustifable. The
treaty of 1918 was made with the crown of
England, and if vessel is captured and ad-
Indicated upon, the crown is answerable.-
We know whom to deal with. The United
States will never permit their rights to be
adjudicated by petty provinces, nor allow
our vessels to be seized by petty officers and
condemned by the municipal courts of Que
bee and Newfoundland-No! no no ~!
He then branched off upon other topics,
when the ceremonies closed and the meeting
adjourned.

1t is full of revolutionary sentiments, and
weare told that in spite of all the efforts of

find their way to the public offices, and even

eral. The government has offered a reward
of $4,000 for the apprehension of any one
connected with the printing or circulation
of this sheet, (tWo numbers of which have
been issued) but without success This
shows that there is either remarkable tact
on the part of the publishers and their a.

that there is prevalent sentiment in the

of the parties implicated. If the latter sup
position be correct, the end is not yet.-M
