The Navy Department have appoint
ID the entire force for this expedition,
and thu frigsts Sabine sailed on Saturday
Inst from New York with Judge Bowlin,
The United States Minister, and his
unite. and the naval and military COM
msutier Of the expedition, Commodore
Shubrick, on board. The effective
force Of the expedition is stated to be
$50 gunA besides mortars; and in esss
Of emergency, the Commodore can land
two thousand men. The Sabine will
proceed no further than Buenos Ayrea,
A it, draft of water 10 too great for
the navigation Of the river. Minister
Bowlio, will At that point take the U.
S. war steamer Fulton, and proceed to
Ascension, the capital of Paraguay,
provided the biIligerent Paraguayans
iuterpose no obstacles, and if they do,
he will 60 if he can. 1t is supposed
BY the Minister that upon his arrival
in the Fulton, at the mouth Of the
riyer-near which is the Paraguayan
fort of the Triss Borcas-he will have
some diplomatic communication with
the authorities Of Paraguay. There
he will declare, in general terms, the
objects Of his special mission. A no
>ship Of war can ascend the river, but
by permission Of the governor, he will
have TO determine the question Of the
reception of our Minister, and crisis
in affairs may at once arise.
Judge BowIin is understood to be
instructed to adopt a conciliatory but
firm course with the Paraguayan gov
eminent, and hostilitics are not expect
cd a. the result Of his demands and
offers. The object OF the mission is
to secure an adjustment OF present dlf-
fculties, which must result in the re-
dress Of grievances of which We have
to complain, and the establishment Of
relation of relations which will be mu-
tually beneficial to both the countries
in future. Force will only be employed
in the event that negotiations fail to
secure from the Paraguayan govern
ment the recognition Of our indisputa-
bly, Just demands, and then only rs a
last resort.

TRIAL OF A HANDSOME YOUNG
WIDow IN NoRvH CAnoLrNA.-The
North Carolina papers announce the
acqu;ttal, at Raleigh, last week, Of
Martha Morgan, a handsome young
widow, aged about twenty two years,
charged with the murder of Alexander
Allen, Constable in Johnston county.
A writer to the Petersburg Express
says:
Martha Morgan, the prisoner,
was INDECENT, but provcrbially honest.
Through her own exertions and the
kindness Of few ne,ghbors, she sup
ported her little family. Some months
since, Allen, the constable, forcibly en-
tered her abode and levied on the cf
fccts of her scantv household for the
purpose of selling the same. She re-
monstrated and importuned him to
desist. Regardless of her cntreaties,
he persisted in taking possession of
her furniture, and added insult to in
jury by heaping UPON her volley of
abuse. Being without a protector and
feeling deeply aggravated, in mo-
ment of frenzy she seized shot gun
and shot her prosecutor down. The
Jury having come into Court, render
&c verdict of ".Not Guilty" The re-
suit was received by an immense con-
course of visitors by one universal out
burst of applause"

INDIAN TaouBLEs.-A correspond
ent of the St. Louis Republican, from
Santa Fe on the 22d Of Sept, says:
Here we are, in the midst of war
with the Navajos. Well, they have
needed good drubbing for . long
time, and that q good one, and to keep
drutbing uutil they are convinced that
we are their superiors, is the only plan
with anyuncivilized nation. Col. Collins
returned, "A few days ago, from the north
ern Indian district, and found them all
in state Of peace and quietncss, ex-
cept on his way from Conejos to Taos,
near Fort Garland. There he learned
there was a party Of Cheyenres, in
search of Utahs, to fight. The Utahs
were rife for it, but the Cheyennees,
learning that they had collected all the
different tribes to receive their pres
ents, concluded it was bad egg, and
left in double quick time. The Ca
manches will be our most troublesome
neighbors. No doubt you have seen
the news by the papers and they
swear emphatically that they intend to
keep it up, for they have no more
country than they want for their own
purposes. That tribe is very formis-
BILE, and it will take strong force on
the middle to keep them down, or 9TH
erwise their forays upon the traveller
will be very disastrous to life and prop
erty. 1t is hoped that the Govern
ment will do something in the matter.
