FRoN THE Rio GRANDE.-By the
arrival, at New Orleans, Of the
steamship Mexico, we have received
Galveston papers to the 23d inst, no
later than our previous advices.--
We have also San Antonio papers o.
The 18th, and Brownsville Of the
l7th, but we find no important news.
The American Flag, of Browns
vile. repeats the report that Carva,
jal is gathering forces for another
campaign. 'r rrs
The San Antonio Ledger says il
learns from a gentleman. Just from
the Rio Grande, that he had seen and
conversed with Carvajal at bis en-
campment, fifteen miles from Davis
Rancho, at a place called Aqua
Nueva. He had five hundred men,
and was constantly receiving rein
forcements. The same informant
says that Uraga, the commander of
the Mexican forces, has only about
twelve hundred men, and very little
chance Of increasing his force. He
has issued an order of eon6scation,
and is now confscating and selling
the property Of all the insurgents Of
his country.

a rhou0ht Suggested by the New Year.
BY THOMAS CAMPBELL.

BY THOMAS CAMPBELL.
The more we live, more brief appear,
Our life's succeeding stages;
A. day TO childhood seems year,
And years like passing ages:
The gladsome current of our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals, lingering. like a river smooth,
Along its grassy borders.
But as the care-worn cheek grows wan,
And sorrows shafts fy thicker,
Ye stars that measure life to man.
Why seem your courses quickerl
When joys have lost their bloom and
breath,
And life itself is vapid;
WHY, as we reach the falls Of death,
Feel we its tide more rapid!
Itmay be strange, yet who would change
Times course to slower speeding?
When one by one our friends are gone,
And left our bosom bleeding.
Heaven gives our years of fading
strength
Indemnifying fleetness:
And those Of Youth, a seeming length,
Proporioned TO their sweetness.

SALMON FIsHING.-A Maysville zeal.
irornia) paper gives the following nc-
count ofthe manner in which the Indians
catch salmon: -a-.r-u
ave witnessed a new and exciting
Eindo sport yesterday morning. Sal.
mon Of huge Dimensions, and in great
numbers, accompanied by thousands OF
smaller fry, were then struggling over
the shoals in the river opposite our city.
Thither the Indians promptly irepaire ;
with their spears, where they at once
commenced an indiscriminaie slaughter.
They were captured in large numbers,
and in the following manner: a small.
barbed spear is attached to astraight
pole some twelve or fifteen feet in
length. sOR the fish being wounded its
struggles itnmediately eetach the spear
from the pole, but they are made fast
together BY strong cord, some eigh:
teen inches in length, by the aid OF
which they are safely toWed to the
shore. The taking and securing was
performed by the Indians with great
skill and dexterity, and excited the Gu
rosi,y of hundreds who were watching
fheir operations fromthe river bank"

INDIAN INTERVIEW WITH THE
PREsIDExT--Monday having been
appointed by the President for the
purpose Of giving an audience to the
Omaha Indians, now in Washington,
they first proceeded to the Indian
Bureau, whence they were accom-
panied to the Presidents by the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs, Col ID.
ID. Mitchell, the Superintendent, and
others in charge. The President
met his red friends in his office up
stairs. Col. Lee, the Commissioner,
introduced them in the usual manner.
The Indians shook hands with the
president, and with Mr.. Conrad, Sec
retary Of War, who was in the room
at the time Of their entrance.
Col. Lee having briefly explained
to the President the object Of their
visit to Washington, the President
said he was happy to meet his red
brethren on this occasion. The
Great Spirit had blessed them all
with a clear day, and if they had
anything to say, he, the President,
would be most happy to hear them.
The Indians then narrated 10 him
in feeling terms the series Of wrongs
W hich the peaceably disposed
Omahas have suffered from the
Osages, Sioux, Ottoes, Pawnees,
Mormons, overland emigrants, and
white squatters. The President
listened patiently to their recital, and
promised to have the matters men,
toned attended 10. They charged
the Indian agent among them with
gross oppression and tyrannical con-
duct, which the President said should
be investigated. He advised them to
give up hunting, and till the earth
for a subsistence, saying that if they
did so, Congress would extend aid
10 them in their endeavors. f

The tornado which crossed the
Mississippi above Baton Rouge du-
ring the latter part of December,
we have accounts, did not stop its
career this side of northwestern
Louisiana, and the adjoining counties
of Texas. 1t crossed the roads be-
tween Shreveport and Mansfield,
about eleven miles from the latter
place, aud prostraied trees and
houses in its cou.se, its path being
about half a mile wide. The road
was blocked up with uprooted tim
Der. Every house on the plantation
Of Mrs. Widow Thompson, in the
parish Of De Soto, was blown down.
A large quantity Of fencing was
IevelIed. The house Of Ezekiel Jones,
near Elysian Fields. Texas, was
blown down, and himself and his
were killed thereby. The
wind was unabaied in violence in the
coun lies Of Marshall and Pamela,
Texas. Mr.. Jones, postmaster, and
one Of his children, were killed, and
his wife was severely wounded.

Thus closed one Of the most in.

fortune Of the writer to Witness
Two such men rarely meet in this
world. The one, having finished
the course OF his destiny, having lived
and acted through the better part OF
his countrv's lifetime, and with its
growing greatness and renown hav-
ing achieved his own; The sun Of his
glorious career just going down in
unclouded hrilliancy, and sending
back the rays Of itsdeclining glory
upon u happy land; the other, still
acting, still hoping and fearing, his
star just rising amid storms an clouds
and darkness; before him, all the Vi
ciSsitudes of an uncertain Tuture for
himself and for his country; the one,
like a prophet Of old, proclaiming
the principles of the fathers OF his
country, to whom he was shortly TO
be gathered--those principles, living
by which that country had achieved
her greatness; the other, like a
scholar, listening to catch the words
Of wisdom, and hear the .lessons OF
experience. which should be treasured
up, and which might YET one day
profit his country in her pupilage: TO
portray that scene Alright would chal-
ienge the skill of the poet and the
painter. The writer would rival,
too, the art Of a Handel and Hay
den, could he transmit TO his paper
the sweet melancholy cadences of
the voice Of the Hungarian exile,
sounding like the low melancholy
wall of the stricken children OF free
dom; or the trumpet-toned voice of
the old Statesman, gathering some Of
its ancient strength, and ringing al
most as full and sonorous as when in
the Gays Of old, its clarion peal SCUM
ded its note Of cheer and courage to
a nation in its triumphal march TO
glory and TO greatness.
