SANTA ANNA AHD THE MEXICAN ARMY
The National lntclIigcnccr publishes Il letter
from the Mexican Legation, showing that the

Der of troops, is neither to overawe the Mex
can people nor to make war upon any friendly
power, lht TO repel attacks of Indians, and
prevent unlaw fiji and armed incursions from
the American side of the Rio Grande. The
United States government, it is alleged, has
not carried out the treaty Of Guadalupe lIidal.

How KENTUCKY GOT ITS NAME.-Ths
origin and meaning of the name of Ken
lucky, has been accounted for in different
ways, both ingenious and plausible. The
latest analysis of the word Kentucky, that
we have heard, we had few days ago
from the lips of an old hunter, now in the
ninety-ninth year of his age. When
Boone first came to that country il was
inhabited exclusively by no tribes Of In
dians, but was the common hunting
ground for all the tribes Of the adjacent
country. The rich valleys were covered
with chapparel of cane, bearing small
berry, on which the turkeys came in
countless numbers to feast. Thus, it was
enough for the whites to call it the land
of Cane and Turkey The Indians trying
TO pronounce the same words got it Kane
Tuckee, from this it was abbreviated into
Kentuck, and finally the name ny which
it is now known, Kentucky-ths land OF
Cane and Turkey.--Putnem Banner

out Of the attempt to arrest fugitive slave ut viii
