Another Battle.

A desperate battle was fought recently
near Pecos River, between party of Ran
gers and Texas Indians, which resulted in
the victory of the former, who killed seven
Indians and took quite number prisoners.
We hope soon to hear of a cessation of
these border hostilities, and to that end
Congress should equip an adequate force for
the protection of our frontiers against the
incursions of the numerous bands of In
dams that are constantly prowling around.
1t is well known fact, that the force en-
gagged in this duty is by far too small to ac-
complsh the object in view. Congress
ought, by all means, at its present session,
to remedy this evil.

Invitations are out for the most sublime and
magnificent nuptials ever celebrated upon our
wedding of the rough Atlantic to
the far Pacific ocean. The iron necklace has
been thrown across the Isthmus, the bans are
already published, and the bridal party will
leave this city on Monday next, Feb. 5th,
to perform the august ceremony. Some
81 100000 have been spent in achieving this
union but, as the fruits thereof will soon
show, it has been money well invested. Across
the bosom of the isthmus, the golden products
of our Pacific borders and the incalculable
treasures of the distant Orient, are destined to
flow in unremitting streams.
The stupendous enterprise Of uniting the
two oceans which embrace the greater portion
of the globe, we ore proud to say,was conceiv-
ed and executed by our own citizens, in the
frowning face of obstacles that none but Am
orleans could have overcome. T1e swamps,
the mountains and miasmas of the isthmus,
drove all the engineers of Europe home in de-
spair, who contemplated the gigantic under.
taking, and the Herculean work was left to the
hands and hearts of men in whose vocabulary
there is no such word as fail"
The engineers of England and France pro
nounced the project utterly impracticable. To
the late lamented John L. Stevens and his as
sociates, Aspinwall, Chuuncey, Colt, White
Wright, and others, the world is indebted fol
tie completion of this great bond-this com
mercial linking of the hemispheres. An enter.
prise so full of poetic sublimity, and so fraught
with interest so extensive with the whole earth
may we'll command the admiration of the world
and deserves to be fifty inaugurated by such q
bridal party as are now preparing to embark
as witnesses of the grand consummation. Ii
is theme for such an Empithalamium as was
never sung in Greece, and an occasion for a
world ringing burst of eloquence that makes
one deplore atre.h that the tongue of Webster
is mute in death-N Y. Mirror.

BORDER LIFE-INDIAN WARFARE.-Papers
from away west come to US almost daily from
points that dozen years ago, were Indian
hunting grounds st. Peter, St. Paul and St.
Anthony-and how many more saints in the
calendar, we are not prepared to say.
Minnesota to-day has as many dailies as
Liverpool-we rather think, more They are
like voices from the wilderness, as they come
to US. Now dog-train from Pembina is chror-
icled-now herd of Buffalo is Photographed
again troop of deer is detailed-then the
Sioux and Chippewas arrive. City and bor-
der life are strangely blended, and one can fam
cy, rs he reads paper from the press day or

by-gone day, whose incidents long ago became
the staple Of song and story.-Galena Jeff:

Our eastern exchanges have good deal
to say in regard to the return of this officer
with the U S. ship Bainbridge, of the
South American squadron, without and in
defiance of the orders of his commanding
officer in that station.
1t seems that the chivalrous HUNTER
deemed it necessary, in order to protect the
honor of the American flag, that the Balm
bridge should be despatched up the Parana,
to Assumption, to protect the Americans
there, and applied for orders to go to Para
quay, which request was denied by Com.
SALrER his superior in command. Where
upon the Lieutenant put his ship about, and
sailed for the United States. Upon his ar
rival here, he put forth an address to the
American people, declaring that he "would
rather let the cambridge rot in the mud,
than ingloriously sail her upon the ocean,"
The penalty for INSTRUMENTATION and DISC
bedience of orders of this character, accord
ing to the articles of war, is death and
the valiant Lieutenant, although very sum-
marty dismissed from the service, by the
President, has great reason to be thankful,
for in the event of a court martial being
summoned to try him, according to his own
admission, he must have been convicted and
shot The course of the department is ap-
parently arbitrary, but we think it was the
only plan that could he pursued in order to
save the life of HUNTER
Our readers will remember that this is
the same HUNTER, that in defiance of the
orders of Com PERRY, summoned and re-
ceived the surrender of the city and garrison
Of Alvarado threatening them if they did
not pull down the Mexican flag in two hours,
be would blow the city to atoms" when
the only gun he had upon his little schooner
was a small swivel, incapable of doing any
serious harm to an ant village, while his
whole crew amounted to three marines

GALCol. BENTON says that al under.
ground telegraph cannot be constructed to
California, from the fact that the Digger
Indians will pull up the wires as fast as they
are put down, for the purpose of making
hooks to catch lizards with. They had bet
ter not be caught at any such business in
case the telegraph is so constructed, or they
will find that "going it" on Uncle Sans
hooks will be found "hard road to travel"
