GOVERNOR WALKERS LETTER
OF ACCEPTANCE.
WASHINGTON, March 80, 1851.
.nrs Bucn.xAx, President of the U. S.

JAMES BUCHANAN, President of the U. S.
Ny. DEAR SIR: l have at your request
reconsidered my determination, as an
nounced to you, declining your tender of
Governor of the Territory Of Kansas. In
view of the opinion now presented by
you, that the safety of the Union may
depend upon the selection of the individ-
ual to whom shall be assigned the task
of settling the difficulties which again
surround the Kansas question, have
concluded that a solemn sense of duty to
my country requires me to accept this
position am brought to this cOnclu-
sion with an unaffected diffidence in my
own ability, but fervent hope that the
same overruling Providence which has
carried my beloved country through so
many perils, will now attend and direct
my humble efforts for her welfare, and
that my course vii! not be prejudged by
any portion of my fellow citizens, in or
out of Kansas.
understand that you and all your
CABINET cordially concur in the opinion
expressed by me. that the actual bona Jfde
residents of the Territory. by fair and
regular vote, unaffected by fraud or vio-
lence, must be permitted, in adopting
their State Constitution. to decide for
themselves what shall be their social
institutions. This is the great funda-
mental principle of the act of Congress
organizing that Territory, affirmed by
recent decision of the Supreme Court OF
the United States. and Is in accordance
with the views uniformly entertained and
expressed by me throughout my public
career.
contemplate peaceful settlement Of
this question by an appeal to the intelli-
gence and patriotism of the whole people
of Kansas, who should all participate
freely and fully in this decision, and by
a majority of whose vote the determine
ton must be made, as the only proper
and constitutional mode Of adjustment
contemplate no appeal to military
power. in the hope that my countrymen
of Kansas, from every section, will
submit to decision of this matter by q
full and fair vote of a majority of the
people.
l will go, then. and endeavor thus tc
adjust these difficulties, in the full con
fdence, so strongly expressed by you
that viii be sustained by all your OWL
high authority. with the cordial cooper
alton of all your Cabinet.
Very respectfully, your friend.
R. J. WALKER.

Indian Troubles in Nebraska.

News reached this city by telegraph
from St. Louis to-day, of fight between
the Pawnee Indians and the white set
tiers upon Salt river, which resulted in
the death Of one of the settlers and several
lndians, and the capture by the whites Of
thirteen PawneeS. These Indians are
now, and have been for several years,
extremely poor. and in a most deplorable
condition of suffering and want. Ac-
counts from their country received by
the last mails repre,ent them as in a
starving condition. So extreme Is their
poverty and suffering that they have
been compelled to SnbsiSt in many in
stances upon the flesh of their children.
1t is supposed by gentlemen familiar
with their character that the late collision
with the white settlers has been brought
about in consequence of the Indians kill
ing stock to subsist upon in their des-
perate extremity. If .his is the case, it
will in some degree pailiate what might
under other circumstances be considered
great outrage on the part of the In
dians.
Fortunately for the people Of Nebraska
Territory. their able and efficient repre-
sentative in Congress, Hon. B. B. Chap
man, is now in this city and we learn has
already taken the matter in hand, and
called the attention of the government to
to it, and askel for such action in the
premises as will relieve them from any
further trouble from that quarter.
We are gratifed that feelings Of the
kindest character exist between Mr.. Chap
man and every department Of the execu.
tive government, and we are equally sat
isfied that any Suggestions from him cal
culated to relieve the people OF the Terri
tory from these unfortunate disturbances,
and better the condition Of the poor mis-
cradle Indians, Will meet with favorable
consideration Washington Union.

Dispatch to the New Yoik Daily Times.)
Hon. 3. J. Walkers Appointment as
Governor Of Kansas.
WAsHTNaroN. March q.

WAsHINGroE, March IS.
Appearances indicate that Hon. Robt.
j. Walker will accept of the appoint
ment. which is offered him, of successor
to Geary. 1t is the universal hope here
that he will do so, and his choice will be
hailed with enthusiasm by men Of all
parties-enthusiastic joy by the Southern
faction, and feelings of exultation of a
less laudable character by those who
think that they will have caught the new
Administration tripping. The expec-
tations Of this latter class of individuals
will, / trust, be disappointed, and it
strikes me as ungenerous to forestall pub
lie opinion by prognosticating evil before
it actually comes to pass.
The rolicy Of Mr.. Buchanan, concern
ing Kansas, has been clearly laid down,
in various communications he has made
verbally to persons who have lately visit
ed him from different sections of the
country. He believes that it is iadispen-
sdble 10 send FIRST rate man to the dis
puted Territory, and he prefers that the
appoihtee should be clear headed Union
Southerner, because it will be impossible
for the fire eating extremists to complain
of the measures which such an Executive
may take for the purpose of protecting
Free State interests.
Walker, whatever objections there
may have been to his receiving the seals
OF the office of Secretary of State. is
not man to be safely or Justly tabooed,
even by his enemies His power, indus
try, discrimination. keen insight into the
motives of men, and laudable ambition
to stand we'll before the country. cannot
be questioned for an instant. urged,
in conversation to-day with gentleman
who stands high in Mr.. Buchanan's con-
fidence. his identification with the ultra
Southern interests, as an objection to his
appointment. "You do not know"
said he, "of whom you are talking. l
predict if Mr.. Walker goes to Kansas,
he will unravel the whole Atchison web,
and pave the way for the admission of
Kansas as Free State in such man.
ner that the mouths of those who have
heretofore sympathized with Border
Rufianism, will be effectually and for
ever stopped" If so-if Mr.. Walker
carries out, in Kansas, the strict letter
and spirit of the Kansas Nebraska law,
he will realize the truth of the prediction
which Mr.. Buchanan made to the New
York Congressional Delegation on Sat
urday last. that the appointee of his Ad-
miRistration to succeed Governor Geary,
would have nobler and higher sphere
in which to distinguish himself, and
merit the gratitude of the country, than
any other officer Of the Government in
the United States.

Appointment of Maj. Ben. McCulloch
as Governor Of Utah-A Northern
Nan to be Governor of Nebraska,
Correspondence Of the Baltimore Sum-
WAsHINeroy, Sunday, April 26.


WAsHrSeroS, Sunday, April 26.
The delay in the appointment of q
Governor for the Territory of Utah has
been occasioned by the difficulty of find.
ing a suitable man who would accept
the post. 1t has been offered to and de-
cilned by several gentlemen. Before
Major Ben. McCulloch accepted the post
OF Marshalship of Texas, he had been
consulted by some of his friends upon
the subject Of this Governorship. It wss
thought that as man of character, cour-
age, address and humanity he would be
able to meet and master all the difficult
ties OF the situation. He then expressed
willingness to accept the office if he
should be appointed. But Senator Rusk
and others, who were deeply impressed
with the Importance of securing the SER
vices of Major McCulloch in the con-
struct,on Of the wagon road from Ell Paso
to Fort Yuma, could no. spare him for
service in Utah. But it now appears
from a paragraph in the Union that the
Government is obliged to resort 10 Mai.
McCullOeh as the most suitable man for
the place. whose service they can com.
mand.
1t is probable. therefore, that the
"Saints" viii soon be provided with a
GENTLE" as their Governor, instead of
their Prophet, Priest and King."-
Brigham Young cannot be stripped of
his priesthood, nor of his gifts for proph-
ecy, by the secular authorities, but his
political and military rule will be modi-
fed by It's subjugation to the authority
of Governor McCalloch and General
Harvey. That conflict will take place
between the .. S. authorities and the
Mormons is not improbable.
1t is decided to remove Gov. lizard. Of
Nebraska. His removal has been delay
ed by the charges preferred against him,
and the propriety of affording him an
opportunity to refute them. But all
charges affecting his moral character
have been Withdrawn, and he will be
superseded in a few days. 1t has been
stated that Southern man, as heretofore,
would be selected as Governor Of this
Territory. But, inasmuch as Southern
men have been appointed to Kansas,
and as a Southern man will be selected
for Utah, it is believed that Governor
for Nebraska will be taken from the
North.

A friendly intercourse had sprung up between

Spirit Lake, when messengers were sent forth
with to Fort Ridgely for assistance, some of the
Inhabitants fearing their savage neigh5ors, and
with view of frightening them away, inpru-
