From TExAs-FIGHT WITH OMAN.
cHEs. We find the following in the
Galveston News, of the 5th instant !:
The White Man, of the 2sth ult.
has an extra, containing the news of a
fight on the 10th. Capt. Ross, with
twenty-five United States cavalry, had
q fight with sixteen Camanehes. in
which thirteen of the latter where
killed. The chief'syoung son was cap
tured, together with white woman
and her child, the woman having been
among the indians since childhood.
The Indians had Mrs. Sherman's Bible.
with her name in it copies of the
White Man, with the name of Mr.
Riley-one of the Jack county settlers
killed by them-and other articles, in
dicating that they were Of the party
that committed the recent depreda-
tions. A few days before the fight, a
party Of thirty-fve warriors left the
camp on marauding expedition to
the settlements.
The GALVESTON News learns that the
United States officer in charge of the
new fort building there has received
invoices ofthe arms ordered to be sent
there by the Federal Government.
We also learn from the News that
on the l4th of December, Buffalo
Humph, chief of the Camanches, and
Tahausen, chief of the Kiowas, were at
Fort Wise, the new post on the Ar
kansas river, held by six companies of
United States troops under Major
Sedgwick's orders. A letter from
Fort Cobb, near the Wichita reserve
agency, says one of the chiefs there
has two sons among the wild indians.
and Thus each party knows what the
other is doing. m l

A Southern Confederacy.

A Southern Conlederacy.
In the Language Of u Kentucky co!cm.
porary (says the Richmond Whig,) We
have one insupcrahlc objection TO n
Southern Conlcderacy: rs .fn&mratd
princVie is CHANGE, INSTABILITY,
ANARCIYl All its advocates affirm
that every State has a right to nulliry any
obnoxious law and to secedc from the
Confederacy whenever she ilncies her
rights are invaded. This is the one great
idea OF all the precipitators Of South
Carolina. They boast Of a rule of action
which they hold in common with the
McXican Greasers, who no sooner install
one ruler than they have him court mar
tailed and shot. We will consent TO i've
in no Coniederacy which is based on this
destructive hcrcsy. We have no respect
for any government which has no stobili,
ty, no bond Of union, no strength, but is
the wrctched creature Of whlm and ca
price.
The Congress and Gov. Brown.
If we may believe the reports of some
Of the newspaper correspondents from
Montgomery, the course Of Gov. Brown
OF Georgia. in taking independent meas
ures of redress after the Provisional Gov
eminent had assumed the quarrels of
the several seeding States with those of
the old Union, is dsapprovcd. The cor
respondent of the Mobile Register writes
from Montgomery, Feb. 18th: "The
course of Gov. Brown, in his second seiz-
urc of vessels, is deprecated here. 1t is
considered disrcspccttul to the Federal
Government and calculated to embarrass
its action. Separate State action, 1t Is
said, was very good thing. so long as
the States were separate; among conled-
crate States there must be no other than
confederate action. Gov. Brown forgot
the distinctions and, suppose. if one
could have listened to the proceedings o!
the secret session of Saturday and to-day,
one would have heard the spunky Gov
crnor pretty roughly handled"

In the editorial with 1hich you pre-.
face this communication, you say: al
though the State las refused by popu-
lar vote TO cali Conventions, the people
have elected delegates by overwhelming
majorilcs to Convention, and in doing
so have said these gentlemen reflect
their opinions and sentiments. In view
Of the failure to call Convention, we
know Of no better mean, Of expressing
and defining the true feelings Of the
State on the extraordinary condition OF
public affairs, by which wc are now sur
rounded than through a meeting Of
these delegates"
must beg leave to dissent from the
views expressed by you and your Spring
Hi! correspondents, and lilttcr myself
thai can give you satisfactory reasons
for so doing. In the first plnce there is
no more propicty in calling together the
delegates elected on tie 9th Of February,
than thcie would be in calling togelhc.
one hundred other private citizens OF the
State Of Tennessee, selected hy primary
meetings, for the plain and simple rca-
son that the people OF our State have, by
a very decided majori V. refused TO cloihe
the aforesaid delegates with any power
at all. They have decided that they
will not have any authoritative expression
Of opinion from these delegates, and
consequently the delegates elect, not
wthstandlns they were elected by large
majorities, have by the fiat Of the snvc-
reign people, been authorized to do noth.
ing.
In the next place, as the delegates at
present are clothed with no authority, |
am opposed to calling primary meetings,
for the purpose of investing them with
the authority TO "dciino the position Of
Tennessee in relation 10 the questions
that are disiracting this once happy coun-
try.' Primary meetings do not always
reflect the sentiments OF the people,
They are usually managed hy political
