The Immense Emigratfon.

The 1mmensc Emigration
We take the following from late letter OF
G. w. KENDALL, one Of the proprietors of the
Picayune, now in Paris:
mo less than ono thousand Germans passed
through Paris for Havre on Tuesday, all bound
for the United States. The fear of general
war, and q total arrangement of business, is
causing great desire to emigrate to America
in many quarters of Europe. An American
merchant, travelling in Norway and Sweden for
the purpose Of purchasing iron, writes from
Stockholm to the effect that general panic
seems to have taken possession of the inhab-
tants of both countries, and that farmers are
selling out their lands at ruinous sacrifices, with
the view of emigratng to the States. This he
says is unaccountable, as there can be little dan.
ger of the war reaching those countries; yet the
people have got the idea in their heads, and no.
thing can stop them. Twill quote one sentence
from his letter: II have known Of farms worth,
in reality, three or four thousand dollars, sold
- low a. seven OF eight hundred, and had it not
been for the ties of kindred and associations at
home, / should almost have been tempted to
remain here, and speculate in farms rather than
in IRON" In the month Of March no less than
fourteen thousand persons were prepared to
leave Norway aud Sweden for the United States.
During the month Of April no less than 81 500
emigrants left the port Of Liverpool-a greater
number than ever known in a single month.

Indian Depredations in Texas.

Indian Depredations in Texas.
The Judicial Bulletin, Of the Oath, gives the
following paragraphs:
The San Antonio Western Texan learns that
| the drove Of cattle, mules, &C., Zen route for
California, owned by Messrs Post l. Hedges
of that city, were attacked BY the Indians about
one hundred and ten miles this side of Ell Paso.
Two men were killed. few wounded, and l7G
head of cattle driven off,
This evening, May 18th, says the Western
Texan, we received the news that several In
dians crossed the San Antonio river about thirty
miles below our city, and stole three American
horses from the rancho of Mr.. Flores. In the
vicinity of their route from San Antonio TO the
Medina river has been found the dead body Of
Mexican boy, eighteen years Of age. He was
shot evidently by the same party of Indians on
their way down.
The Western Texan, Of the 18th learns that
the Indians have been seen IN several places in
the last few days in the vicinity of the AioscoS.
Many cattle have been killed, horses stolen, &C.,
and we expect every day to hear more of their
cruel depredations. They are now having tins
times Wild Cat il at the head Of all this. and
we believe that the Mexican patton holds about
the same position with these Indians that Eng
land held TO the America Indian tribes 10 the
United States and Canada during the ReyoIu-
tion and last war. However, we viii not 90 20
far As to say that Mexico offers these Indians
reward for each scalp, but we know they hare
great inducements held out to them; and as for
Wild Cat, he is now returning his compliments
to our government for the many favors they
have granted him, and he, no doubt expects
that we shall sooner or later purchase his friend
ship by giving him "big heap Of money!" and,
regarding his treatment heretofore, he has very
plausible reasons to expect this.
An express has at this moment arrived, saws
a communication to the Victoria Advertiser,
bringing news of five hundred Seminole and
Camancha Indians, under the command of Wild
Cat, being thirty miles west of here. They
have attacked a company Of mustangers, ira
ders, citizens and soldiers. Several were kill.
ed when the express left. He left them fight
ing yesterday evening, and supposes all will be
killed. They first attacked q company Of
twenty five soldiers, and killed all but two, and
then Immediately surrounded the mustangcrs
and traders, who were pushing TO the relief Of
the soldiers. The express says he thinks thirty
Mexicans and five OF six Americans were killed
in the company Of mustangers, besides the SOL
diers near by. The express is Mexican, who
made his escaps by running through the In
dians after all hope was left. He says his
horse was killed under him, and he mounted an
Indians horse near by and saved himself. Se-
veral other scattering squads are also killed in
that vicinity, and one family. Tho Indians
were heard to say during the fight that they
would kill every thing and desolate the coun.
try to the Rio Grande. This report is gene.
rally believed here and considerable excitement
prevails.

As our neighbor of the Courier, says the
Crescent, is fond of giving his readers, occa-
sonaly, what he considers Developments OF
the principles of this Order, we respectfully in.
vite his attention to ne pub ication ecent.
Iy made in New York. purpor,ing TO tring the
whole mystery to light.
We regret that want Of space prevents GU,
extracting literally from this work, but the
Courier will, undoubtedly, derive satisfaction
from the following account Of the initiatory
process:
Name and misunderstanding to this
pamphlet the real name adopted by the order in
general is Babelorum, from the tower of Babel
The order is divided into three degrees, each
seperate from the other The first is called the
Mumsome degree; the second, Mummore; the
third, Mummost. While the order in general
takes the name of Babeloriun, the individual
societies in different places are called Toweretts.
The number of Toweretls in the city of New
York al this date, is almost two hundred and
fifty, and applications for new ones are SO nu-
whelmed with business.
Initiation-The officers Ie dressed in revo.
lutionary and Indian costumes. The candidate
is hoodwinked, and string tied around his
tongue. After certain questions asked and
answers returned, the conductor withdraws the
fools cap fr m the eyes Of the candidate; the
usher seizes him behind the coat color with
both hands, and pulls back as if determined TO
cause strangulation; the Wampum Master, in
front, draws on the cord tied to the candidates
tongue; and the Captain Mum stands little
on the left, with an upraised tonahawk.
The candidate, with lo'Iing tongue, choking
throat, and distented eyes, gazes around, and
in addition to the figures directly before him, is
struck with ludicrous yet painful amazement
on beholding the room filled about him with the
most indiscribable images. Every man OF the
assembly has on fools cap coming down over
the eyebrows. and tapering back at an angle oi
forty-fve degrees, about eighteen inches in
length Every man has the forefingers of each
hand in the corner of his mouth. and, with a
broad grin on his face, tugs on the corners Of
his potato trap, to see which can produce the
most horrible grimace, and exhibit the deepest
cultural cavern studded with the longest rows
Of bad ivory.
Oath.-The candidate then proceeds TO make
oath to string of the most absurd attempts at
fun that we have ever seen. One clause is suf.
ficient:
"To the true and faithful performance Of all
of which, pledge my most pertinacious logos
binding myself under penalty no less than
having my boots drawn off over my head, my
hair twisted into cord nine feet long, the skirts
of nv coat GU, into forty nine strips, and in
this unfortunate plgh, suffer myself to be rode
on a three correred rail, nine feet long, over
the railroad track Of Hamburg rocket, at the
rate of ninety miles per hour"
