From Tuesdays Daily.

ARTILLERY 10 THE FRoST.-The cit
iaens OF Musclsshell, after the late Indian
difbenlty, sent . petition, asking for the use
of one of the Territorial cannon. Upon re-
esipt Of the petition 6enl. Howis immedi-
ately forwarded q field gun and . sufhcient
Quantity of artiney ammunition TO that
point, to Be used solely in defencs of the post
IN the event Of an Indian attack. This ac-
tlon OF the General was very proper, and
highly commendable, for those people who
are struggling 70 establish upon the frootier
OF civilization, an outpost, are entitled 70
all the means of defense that can be placed at
their disposal. 1t u far better tast the guns
entrusted to our Territory BY the general gov,
eminent, should be trained mp on the savages
that prowl about that far OF settlement, than
60 be reposing within the security Of the
Territorial arsenal. when these savages
again come down fpoiling for fight, they
viii consider for q time the expediency of as
sault when they see this braIsn gun reposing
IN sullen defiance threatening TO pour upon
them the missiles of death.

WATCHES. C. o. D.-A recent ad-
vsrtisement Of the National Watch Company
contained n severe rejection on all parties
who have advertised to send watches, G. o. d.
Aessrs. Fuller 4 Co. of this city have adyer-
tised for long time in the Tribune, that they
would send the genuine Wsl.ham or Elgin
Watches c. D. D., and from satisfactory in
formation, we have no doubt of their Integ-
Tity and fair dealing We have never heard
of a single instance Of complaint on the part
of any buyer that be did not get precisely
what be ordered and what they had advertised
TO send. We have no interest in the compe-
tition between dealers in watches, but buyers
have, and If they order . Walthsm or an e.
gin watch OF Fuller Co., We have DO doubt
they wall receive it.-IN- I. Tribune, FsD-
