Col. Johnston, of the Utah army, in letter
dated December 18th, says: ssThe day before
the reduction took place [that is, all put on
short allowance] We gave dinner to the Gov

the larder. Since then 1 do not think are could

HIGH PRICE FOR 1NDIANs.-William Bow
legs, Esq, head man of the two hundred In
dians, negroes, half-breeds, mulattoes, etc.,
in Florida, yclept Seminoles, has, for term
of years, been one of the leading heroes in the
war-like annals of the United States. Snugly
ensconced in the Businesses of the everglades,
| William has been yainly sought by martial
| bands CT dragons, mounted rifemen, and the
| like, at the rate of we know not how manv
hundreds of thousands of dollars per annum
| to the NationalTreasury. All sorts of schemes
have been tried to catch him, and as none
have succeeded, an attempt is now in opera
tion to bribe him and his followers to go to the
West. 1t will scarcely be credited, yet a
| Florida paper soberly tells us the fact, that
the Government now has agents in Florida,
authorized to offer Bowlegs and crew ten
| thousand dollars in cash, at once, if they will
only go to the Seminole tract, west of Arkan-
sas, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
Immediately on their arrival there, twenty
five thousand dollars per annum forever after,
and land to be given for cultivation with farm
ers, blacksmiths, etc., to do their work, under
pretext of teaching them civilization. Under
such circumstances, there are a great many
white folks who would like to be Seminoles,
| as the offer secures handsome future to ev-
hundred. If Billy scorns that bribe, it will
be question which predomina.es in his CON-
| position, the patriot or the fool.

MEXICO.

The accounts hitherto given of the state of
affairs in Mexico since the fight OF Comonfort
have been by no means favorable to the Liber-
al party. The leaders of that party have been
as divided among themselves. and
rather engaged each in strengthening, or at
tempting to strengthen, his own position than
in combining to resist the reactionary Gov
crnment established in Mexico. They have
also been represented as numerically inferior
in military forces to the reactionary Govern
ment, and as likely to submit so soon as they
could secure terms. We publish elsewhere
letter from Vera Cruz, received by the last
arrival, and in the correctness of the state
ments contained in which we have every rea-
son to place confidence. That letter puts
quite different aspect upon the state of Mexi-
can affairs. According to it., the united for
ces of the Liberals under Parrodi were far su-
perior in numbers to those which Zuloaga had
been able to send against them, and the wri-
ter believed that a battle must already, before
the date of his letter, have established their
ascendency. In the State of Vera Cruz itself
there was, beside garrisons, disposable Lib
eral force of three thousand men with eigh-
teen pieces of artillery. If this writer's an
ticipations can be relied upon, the next mail
may be expected to bring important informa-
tion. From the fact that all the sea ports and
almost the entire interior were held by the
Liberals Zuloaga seems to have been under
the necessity of assuming the offensive, since
| by success in that alone could he obtain the
means of supporting his army and carrying on
| his Government. From the great unanimity
with which all the Mexican States denounced
the attempted coup d. etat of Comonfort and
the zeal exhibited by them in favor of the
Constitution, We have still great hope that the
Liberal party may come tritmphantly out OF
the present struggle. Should they do so, they
win occupy stronger ground than ever before,
and the project of secularizing the church es-
tates will receive new impuse.-N. Y. Irib.

MASS CONVENTION OF THE NATIONAL De-
MocRACY.-The Philadelphia Press says:-
"We cordially second the movement started
at Indianapolis in favor of Mass Convention
of the Democracy, North and South, who are
opposed to the Lecompton swindle. With
the present aroused state of public sentiment,
which is growing every hour more and more
intense, We can confidently reckon upon one
OF the largest and most enthusiastic demon
strations which the country has ever seen
The North and East will find the South and
West ready to meet in common brotherhood
in defence of the platform of popular sover-
eighty, which is now so violently assaiIed. 1t
Is absurd to pretend that the great ground
swell of indignation which has stirred the
free States to such intense excitement has
left the South unmoyed. The spirit of justice
which insists upon respect to time -honored
principles knows no section, but appeals alike
to all honorable and patriotic hearts from ey-
cry portion of the Confederacy.''
The Press suggests Chicago as the place
and May as the time for holding the Conven-
ton. May it not then be too late7

sand from the boulders, SO that very res

ployed in Massachusetts, in the manufacture
of boots, shoes, and leather is estimated at
about eight thousand. BY the forth annual
report of the Boston Board of Trade, just

sales amount to s3i,l0O,0OO; one hundred and
six hide aud leather dealers, whose yearly

To the Public.

In answer to the numerous letters addressed
to me on the subject of the Mustang Lini-
ment, would say that have had no connec-
ton with that article tor several years. 1t
was invented by me, and while put up under
my control and supervision, was universally
accepted by the public as the best liniment in
the world In 1854 | sold out my interest in
it to other parties, and since that time it has
passed through the hands of several persons,
most of whom have been so INSCRIPTIONS as
to manufacture it of inferior aud cheap arti-
cles and thus to entirely d stroy its value as
a medical remedy, trusting for success in sell
ing it, to its former highly established reputa-
ton. Its present proprietors have gone SO
far as to substitute other articles in its CON-
position for those il the original prescription,
SO that the Mustang Linimcnt now vended
possesses no one Of the Distinguishing charac-
teristics of the genuine article, as 1t was orig
inally invented and manufactured by me-
These parties to enable themselves with more
facility to foist their worthless and injurious
article on the public, use my name as its spon-
sor. calling it .BRAGG's'' Mustang Liniment,
and cautioning the public to beware of any
other Bragg's Liniment as an imposition.
This is done with view of exciting preju-
dice against .'BRAGG's ARCTIC LINTNENT," an
article more recently invented by me, and
possessing all the virtues of the original Mus
tang, with some improvements the result of
experience and later discoveries-and manu-
featured by Bragg & Burrowes, which firm is
composed of my son, Oliver T. Bragg and
Michael Burrowes. This article is superior in
many respects to the Mustang when it was
put up pure and in good faith, aud is immea-
surably superior to the article now vended as
the Mustang Liniment. 1t is also the only
liniment manufactured to which my name is
appended by my authority or consent. In
conclusion l cannot hold myself responsible
for any of the evil results of using the Mus
tang Liniment now vended, and especially
after this public disclaimer of any connection
with its proprietorship or manufacture.
Respectfully,
