From Havana

..... New YoRK, Jan. IL.
The steamship Cahawba has arrived from
N. o. and Havana, with dates from latter
port to the 18th. The Spanish ship Mex
co sailed from Havana for Vera Cruz on
18th. 1t is reported that one of Santa An
mas agents went in her to observe the state
Of political affairs in Mexico. The advices
from that country brought by the British
steamer Clyde wear gloomy aspect.
The British brig Ci,ron from Halifax for
Havana was lost in Dog Keys on the 9Th
ins.. Crew had all arrived at Havana. 1t
was rnmored that the brig Cotzel from Bos-
ton for Havana had gone ashore near Legua,
La Grande; no particulars. Freights at
Havana duh and vessels were leaving for
Gulf ports.

The miners Of Robinsou's Hill, Live Oak

to meet yesterday at the Boarding House,
formerly occupied by NJ j. Squires, to nom.
mate certain officers for orhir towuship,"
some thirty or lorty Of them, together with
most Of the candidates tor Justices of the
Peace and Constabies aud their 6ioutrS, met
and were called to order by Major Switzer,
who was chosen President, and Mr. Holman
candidate tor Constable) Secretary. Mr.
Holman decliucd the honOr. and MIR. Stafford
(candilatc for Justice Of the Peace was
putting the motion, suggested that as Mr..
Stafford was "A candidate lie would, perhaps,
prefer net to serve.
Mr. Berry, u real miner, was here called
out, and made n very sensible and convinc-
ing speech against the expediency of making
nominations, showing most conclusiyely that
any ticket nominated by the meeting could
not be regarded as u miners ticket-that
the fifty present did not represent the tf.
teen hundred, OF more, miners Of Olhir
township. If" said he, "there are gentle
men among us who wish to be supported for
office AS party men, or upon their individual
merits, let them; but they should not lie
permitted to get up little meeting, COM
posed Of "A few miners and Others, TO nOm-
m te and ind0rSe than as the .Niners can

meeting adjourn withoutday. The question
was called for, and the President requested
that those who were in favor Of the motion
to stand toge her on the right of the chair,
and those opposed, to stand together on the
left of the chair, which being done, the Pres
idcnt declared the motion not carried HIS
decision was called in question by many,
and "A count requesttd; but no count was
had, and those who voted in favor OF the mo-
tion to adjourn, sine die, evidently being in

He referred TO the fact that, notwithstan-
ding the Know Nothing party had changed
their name to Fillmore men," they still
retained in their platform, the naturali2a-

The New Lucy, which arrived last evening,

present in Kansas. She left 81. Joseph on last
Friday, and reports that fifteen hundred men are

The people Of the Territory are responding to

News from Orcgon.-Indinn wars.

NEWS from Ofc&Ons-1n0l0n wars
We have received Oregon news up to March
3lst. The papers are filled with accounts Of the
Indian Wars that are now desolating that Terri
tory.
The Indians had taken the Cascades where
were considerable military stores, and laid the
place in ashes. But the United States troops
under Col. Dennisson had rallied and re-taken it.
The Indians seemed to be laying waste the
country in every direction, burning the houses
and numbering all ages, sex and condition of
people. The whole country is in a state of
alarm and confusion, and the Pacific Christian
Advocate, printed at Salem, says God only knows
what or where will be the end of this war.
Mr.. J. H. Davis who emigrated to that coun-
try from this vicinity, writes US under date of
Central, Linn Co. O. 7. April 6.
An express arrived to-day, bringing intel-
gcnce of a battle foughta few days since at the
mouth of Rogue River, twenty-five regulars were
killed and number of volunteers. The Indi-
ans remained masters of the field. Number of
Indians killed not stated.
Is itnot q pity that the eyes of this admins
tration cannot be diverted from Central Ameri-
ca and Cuba and Philibustering operations gen.
orally, and directed towards the defenceless peo-
pie Of Oregon and Washington territories.
They are struggling for life and putting forth
all their energies to defend their homes from de-
vastation, and their little ones from the toma-
hawk and scalping knife. Could the U. S.
troops now engaged in the inglorious enterprise
of enslaving Kansas, be sent to Oregon it would
be field of oberations upon which they would
be much more likely to acquire laurels, and a
kind of business great deal more to their lik-
ing, if not to that of the President.
