MOVEMENT OF OCEAN STEAMERS

LAST OF THE CArAwBAs.-The agent of the Ca
tawba Indians, in South Carolina, made the fol-
lowing report to the Lancaster Court at the late
term:
beg leave to report that the Catawba Indians
now number about seventy in ALL | cannot dis
cover any Improvement in their moral condition or
habits; in general, they very fond of spritous
liquors. and there are now two distilleries near
them, and when they earn little money by hire,
raise little corn, they will spend it for whiskey,
and get drunk, and sometimes do mischief
Last winter, (as | understood, } as they returned
from one of these dstilleries in high state of in
toxication, they got into affray, which resulted
in the wounding of two Indians, and killing one
horse. Now, after due reflection, | am bound to
believe that such traffic and conduct the above
stated, is sad nuisance in any civil community,
and hope that the proper authorities will con-
slider this matter, and remove that which annoys.-
have had but little conversation with the Indians
this year about removing to the West, but so far
as | have learned, they still willing to be re-
moved. Respectfully submitted,
ADAM Ivy, Agent.
PoRro Rrco.-We have advices from Porto Rico
to the 9th ult
The port of Aquadilla visited by severe hur-
ricane on the oath, attended with some shocks of
earthquake. One or two lives were lost. The
shipping escaped with slight damage.
The Island, after long drouth, had been deluged
with rains, which had beaten down the cane fields,
ana done some damage to the crops. The promise,
however, was still highly favorable.
- ives were lost on the steamer Fulton City,
instead OF twelve, as reported by the telegraph
Sne SANK on the lower edge of Bufingtons bar, and
| IL she had noated her length further would have
gone down out of sight in deep water. She cost
| $4,000, and had been out about a wear. Insured
| for $4,000.
FROST IN LoUIsIANA.-NEw ORLEANS, Nov. IA
There has been quite severe frost in the NEIGH
borhood of the sugar estates-and it is feared some
injury has been sustained thereby, though of this
| there is nothing as yet certain.
The receipts of Cotton very heavy-those at
this port alone reaching, during the week 10000
baes-and at all the ports 100000. The clearances
| for Great Britain, just now, quite large.
| FILIBUsTERING.-A San Francisco correspondent
of the Newark Daily Advertiser, writing October
14th, says: One of the items of intelligence brought
us by the first stage the announcement of a
movement at Washington for the acquisition OF
| Sonora This comes in good time. During the
past few months the ''flibusterng" fever has been
| quietly and secretly propagated One of the main
operators here is, ,oas an aid to the "grey eyed
| destiny man" (Walker), and as the prize proposed
is Sonora, the task of propagation has not been a
very difficult one. Many of our people still feel sore
because of the defeat and death of Henry A. Crabbe
and party at the hands of the Sonorarians some
two years since, and eager to avenge what they
| choose to call "the wholesale assassination"
Saline county, ILL.,, at the late election gave a
Democratic majority of 1850, being every vote cast
in the county.
