NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. WALKER,

The subjoined iibustering telegraphic dispatch
from Washington to the New York Sun, appeared in
the Sun Of the 2sth instant:
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Information has been re.
ceived from source, regarded as thoroughly reli.
able giving the particulars of the contemplated fill
buster descent on Nicaragua. The names of certain
parties who sustain Walker with arms and money
are given, and the enjoyment of the benefits of the
transit route to compensate, in part for the ex.
penses thus incurred 1t is stated that the expedition
will start by the middle of August ; that party of
ibusters will rendezvous at Florida and be conveyed
to Central America in the Scottish Chief. Whether
or not this information is strictly true it is certain
our Government will endeavor to arrest all such lille
gal enterprises the orders to our naval vessels for
this purpose, heretofore issued being still in free
force General Jerez, before he left for Nicaragua
was fully informed of the flibustering movement
We don't believe a word of the above In
matters of this kind Washington and Northern pa
pers uniformly unreliable. We trust the regen er
alton of Nicaragua is not far distant, but we know
nothing in the premises at this time. If we did, we
should not publish our knowledge to the world, to be
taken advantage of by cowardly and ,faithless Ad
ministration.

do before.
This is the Fourth of July
On this occasion-performance only once year

From Santa Fe and the Plains,
The st. Louis Republican publishes the following
dispatch of the oath from Indep endence:

The Santa Fe mail has just arrived at this place
with later dates from New Mexico Territory. The
news brought is of an interesting character.
By its advices we learn that there is great lkeli-
hood existing OF renewal of warlke difficulties with
the Navajoe tribes OF Indians, with whom the Uued
States Government was at war only o few months
ago, and concluded by formal treaty.
They have been depredating upon and stealing
from the whites and feel disposition to restore the
property stolen by them, berate the persons whom
they have made captive.
In consequence Of this contumacy, the military GU
thorties have ordered out the United States troops
from all the posts in that region Two or three com
panies have left Fort st. Vrain for the Navajoe
country.
The crops will be very short in New Mexico, partly
for want Of rains in proper season.
There were many returned Pixies Peakers in the
Territory. They Jared as badly as those from the
States-denounced the mines as humbug, and de.
cared that gold could not be found there.
The Democratic party held a Territorial Conven-
tion at Albuquerque, at which Hon. NJ. A. otero was
nominated for reelection to Congress. Col St. Vran
will be his opponent for the office.
The traders teams bound out from Missouri are
much delayed in consequence OF high water in the
Arkansas river That stream is said to be higher
than has been known for years before.
Aserious difficulty occurred at Council Grove with
the Kaw Indians. They had stolen some ponies
from Mexican train, the return of which was de-
manded by the citizens. The next day eighty war
rors came in, bringing the stolen property, and told
them to take it if they dared pistol was fired, il
is sad to rghten the Indians but they returned the
fire, slightly wounding Mr.. Glkey, formerly Of this
place, and mortaly wounding man by the name o
Parker.
The enraged citizens banded together on the day
succeeding the outrage took young chief anc
another Indian and hung them up. The Indians are
very much alarmed and wish to leave the country.

SINGULAR AFFAIR.-A novel exhibition took place
yesterday at the Mulberry Street Synagogue. 1t was
the accepting of Christian woman, converted to
the faith of the Hebrew. The ceremony was per-
formed by some of the subaltern officers of the
gregation-the Rabbi, DR.. Illoway, declined to have
anything to do with it, 1t seems that the woman, an
Irish Catholic, became attached to q German Jew,
and the twain resolved on matrimony. Her parents
were opposed to it, but she was bound to carry it
through. The lover could not marry out of his
church, and she lays down her faith and takes up his
religion with his name and fortunes. The marriage
takes place next Sunday. [Syracnse Courier

the fourth fifth and sixth heats are the fastest ever

VIGILANCE COMMITTEES IN ST. MARTIN AND YER
MILLION PAR1sHEs.-From the Lafayette Echo of Sat-
urday last, we extract the following:
Last Saturday morning, at very early hour, a
large number of men, mounted on horseback, and
followed by an equal number in carriages, rode into
our town and dismounting on the public square,
almost completely blocked up that part fronting the
courthouse. Wemust admit, that when we saw such
formidable gathering that curiosity was wrought
up to the highest pitch, and were anxious to find
ont the meaning of such movement for OCCASION
ally several stout active looking yeomen would walk
past US, some carrying shlelahs, and some few with

felt little shy, did not go near enough to see.
After stopping few minutes in town. the whole
company, numbering about one hundred and fifty,
left taking the direction to the Bayou Tortue BRIDGE
the horsemen leading off two by two, followed by
those in carriages where were told, they were to
meet the vigilance committees of the parishes of St.
Martin and Vermion, who were to assemble there
that day; but for what purpose, we were not in-
formed. However, we do not think it was to con-
spire against the Government neither to swear ven.
geance against any woudbe otfcious officials but
simply for the purpose of having little family re-
union, and also, to let all thieves and rascals know
that they are still in existence and ready to give
them their quietus should they presume to take
without asking.
