CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Com EXCHANGE BUILDING AssoCIATIoN.-Iast
night meeting of the members of the Corn Ex-
change, favorable to the erection of Corn Ex-
change building, met at Barnum's Hotel Henry
M. Warhed, Esq, called to the chair, and
Ihos. K. Matthews, Jr., Esq, appointed Secretary.
VIM. Crichton, Esq, rose and stated that serious
objections were urged against the charter under
which the Association were working 1t was the
one procured from Col. Geo. Kane, and called for
S100 900 worth of capital stock, while the Associa-
tion required but $4,000 capital stock
Persons subscribing under the present char
ter were compelled to put down double
bed. This was owing to the fact that the en-
tire amount of capital stock (SlOO,OOO,) had
to be taken before the Association could commence
practical operations. Some persons objected to
this on the ground that at some future time they
might be held responsible for the full amount ofther
subscription He stated that the Association could
get charter from the Superior Court of this city
Of $50, 900 capital stock, which would answer all
the intended charter, which he presented for the
the consideration of the meeting. 1t was
read and on motion the old charter was
given up and the proposed one accepted A COM
mttee of five was appointed to select nine names
directors to receive the new charter, who shall
have power to amend and alter the minor points of
the charter to precisely meet the wants of the
association. The subscription books were opened
and about $40, 900 were subscribed, this amount in
addition to that previously subscribed, makes the
amount of stock taken $4,000. This insures the
immediate erection of the building. The utmost
harmony prevailed in the meeting.
A BEAUTIFUL ALrAR.-A very handsome altar,
seven feet long, designed for st. Anne's Episcopal
Church, at Annapolis, is now being constructed al
the stone yard of John Whitelow, attached to the
new Presbyterian Church, corner of Madison and
Park streets. The centre piece of the work is al
ready finished. 1t consists of slab of beautifully
wrought Nova Scotia drab stone, four feet long by
one and half feet wide bearing in three circular
pannes exquisitely chseed representation of the
implements of the crucfxion, in bas relief. The
central PANEL contains the cross, while in the pan
nels on either hand are the hammer, pincers and
nails The whole is surrounded by clusters Of grape
beautifully wrought, being emblematical of the
wine used in the Administered on of the holy sacra
ment OF the Lords Supper. The artist who execu
ted the work for Mr.. Whitelow is Robert Thompson,
same church.

BLOODY FIGHT WITH THE INDIANs-ForPs Ram
gers Cut CB.-The Centrevile Herald published at
Centreve, Leon county, Texas, in its issue on the
Sth inst, published the following account of des
perate conflict with the Indians, on the northern
frontier OF the State in which Captain Ford's com
pany OF Rangers were surrounded by eight hum
dred Indians, and all killed except five:
give you below brief statement of the loss of
forty-three of our brave Rangers in an unfortunate
engagement with the Indians
Captain Ford, with forty-seven of his men, left
camp in pursuit of the Indians who had carried off
four hundred horses. He was Joined by two hun
dred friendly Indians, and afterwards by Major Van
Dorm, with two hundred and eighty regulars. After
the united forces had passed the headwaters of Red
River, Major Van Dorm, not deeming it prudent
to press the pursuit further without additional
supplies for men and horses, turned back
Captain Ford and his men, with the friendly In
dams, continued two days travel in the drec-
ton of Kansas. Between midnight and day break
OF the second night, the friendly Indians left the
camp of Capt. Ford. About daylight Capt. Ford
found himself surrounded by eight hundred war
riors, who demanded his surrender. He refused
and ordered his men to prepare for fight, each
being armed with two revolvers and rifle They
fought bravely and desperately but were overpow-
cred by numbers, and all butchered except Capt
Ford and four of his men, who cut their wav
through and escaped.
Among the names of those who fell fighting
bravely, are the two nephews of Gen. Fd Burleson
Aaron and his brothers, (whose father was killed
In former engagement with the Indians and
whose untlmely fate will be deeply regretted by his
friends and relations in our county
The above information was brought me direct
from Austin upon the arrival of the EXPRESS from
Capt Ford, and is reliable.
Great excitement prevails in Travis and adioin-
ing counties, and it is supposed that large com
preparations can be made.

From Washington


WASHINGTON, April 20.-In relation to Nicara-
guam affairs, many speculations are INDUCED, and
some of the statements concerning them are doubt
less unintentionay erroneous The true state of the
question is ascertained to be that the treaty. recent
ly returned is with one exception, entirely accept
able to this Government, which has heretofore
assened to its provisions. The exception is to the
amendment which, in substance, provides that the
United States shall engage to due vigilance and
all lawful means to prevent the organization of hos
tile parties in this country intended for the invasion
OF Nicaragua. This is not considered important but
If ultimately rejected by the President, who has it
under consideration, no doubt is entertained that
the treaty will be modified by Nicaragua, in accord
ance with the wishes of this Government. By this
treaty Nicaragua engages to the necessary force
to keep the transit route open, but if at any time
she should fail to do So the United States have the
right to land troops to protect the persons and pro-
perty Of American citizens. The information from
Nicaragua leaves no doubt that the British are
acting in good faith, and are making arrangements
for surrendering the Bay Islands and the Mosquito
Protectorate. Such, at least is the present as
pect of affairs as ascertained from authentic
