Flournoy, at Little Bock, said that, he was "sufficiently shot at in the - war with Mexico to satisfy the ambition of any nan." ', , , . 21s! A very sensible reply from Sena- tor Borland, and a tnuch stronger exhibi tion of true; courage than vie see put for ward by our public men,, now a-days. He might very truly have replied in the '' language of the anecdote which we pub lished the other day, that "any fool could , give a challenge, but it takes two to light a duel." In thus refuting' to make a fool of himself, he hat given the best evidence that Jie is a man of genuine courage. (Jr-Gen. Persifer F.

Lane and the entire command, were in good health. . Mr. White met Kit Carson at Whet stone on the 24th of October in charge of the express lor I'regon. At the Lower Cimerone Springs, he met F. X. Aubrey, and Reed's train from Lexington near Ce dar Springs. , . Mr. White on hi trip in, experienced considerable severe weather but upon the whole,the trip was a pleasant a could be expected at this season of the year. But few Indian were seen upon the plains except Kansas, Osages, &c, who appeared perfectly friendly. The new in regard to trade, &e., is of but little importance, further than all kinds of goods were selling at reduced rates, and a large supply oq hand. Mr. White brought in $58,000 in gold and silver coin and bullion. We give below a few hem of new from the Santa Fe Republican, of the 18th ultJ A census of New Mexico has been ta ken, from which it appear that the pop ulation of the territory not including the country of Valencia is 32,226 of which 28,151 are classed a whites, and 4,057 as Indian. Senr. Camp, (Co. I, Id U. S. Drar- oons,) was murdered on the 10h ult., in bante t e, but the murderer passed uncle tected. At a fandango on Sunday evening, the 15th, Romaldo Polinario killed another Mexican by the name of Valencia, in a quarrel, io which knive were freely used. L. mi. Masmiigton, civu sou military cotmnaudant of New Mexico, arrived at Santa Fe on the 10th ult., from Monterey, by way of Chihuahua. He was well re ceived. Col. Washington left Monterey, in July last, with a command, part of which, was destined for California. They pursued their march without molestation, and, indeed, receiving the hospitality of the Mexicans, until their arrival at Chi huahua ; where, after making all neces sary arrangements, the command, on the 4th of September, seperated, Col. Wash ington pursuing hi route to Santa Fe; and Maj. Graham assuming the command of the California expedition. He had with him two companies of .the 2d Drag oons, and two campanies of the 1st, under the command of Capt. Rucker. The dis tance which they had (o march is set down at 1300 miles. The distance from Chi huahua to Santa Fe is stated a 1200 miles, and the average march per day to Chihua hua is set down at 20 miles, and thence to Santa Fe 17 1-2 miles. The Republican contains the proceedings of a Convention of delegate's of the peo ple of New Mexico, "to form a constitu tion, and apply to Congress for a State or Territorial Government, and to do s'icli other acts as to them my seem for the in terest of the people." A majority of the convention were Mexicans. Antoine Jose ,MaJrt,ie f1' It0:.

FOHEIGN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA. New York, Nov. 20. The steamer rfcadia arrive:l at Boston yesterday, having left Liverpool on the 4th inst. She brings seven days later intelli gence from Europe. AUSTRIA. Accounts to the 2Sth October, from Berlin, state that every in ducement to a surrender of the city had failed, and that the wa ter and gas pipes supplying the city, were cut off by the troops who were, besieging it. Reports were currentthat the Italian difficulties had been set tled by the mediation of Eng land and France. Austria, it is said, obtains the possession of v i . .a jomoaroy, granting io ner a new Constitution and withdraw ing her troops from Italy, Iddilionul neies by the ACADIA. second despatch. New York, Nov. 20. ENGLAND. The meeting of parliament has been postponed from the 5th to the 12th inst. O'Brien's counsel have pro cured the issue of a writ ol er ror, and will have a hearing be fore a higher court. If unsuc cessful there, they will go before the House of Lords. A simi lar course has been granted in the case of Meagher, McManus, and O'Donahue. FRANCE. The National Assembly de termined to support a motion to postpone the election of rresi- dent until February next, but Cavaignac opposed the move ment. An election will take ftlace Dec. 10th, and the Napo eon confederation, it is thought, will be successful. AUSTRIA. The last accounts left affairs in Austria doubtful. Vienna was bombarded, and the slaugh ter was great. There is a chance for a peaceful termination of the crisis in Italy. It was rumored at Vienna that it had been decided in case the Imperial Bank of Vienna should be pillaged, the notes should be declared of no value. Measures also have been taken to place the Bank under military guard. WA LA CHI A. 23,000 Turks are in occupa tion of Bticharist. Business is at a stand. It is feared that the Turks would be followed by 40,000, and that a collision would ensue their mutual hate being inextinguishable. SWITZERLAND. The Peasants of Frieburg took a stand against the Govern ment, but were put down by troops from Deric. Bishop Marillj' has been ar rested for inciting the Peasants to insurrection. RUSSIA. The Emperor of Russia has made peace wtth Circassia, it is supposed, with the intention to withdraw his troops from thence and send an army of 300,000 men into the principalities of Danube. IRELAND. Murders and riots continue, and the country is very unset tied. V FRANCE. On the 20thiust., there was an extraordinary display of Milita ry exhibited before the Assem bly at the capital. There was much agitation, and a collision ensued between, the Guards of Mobile and the line, which con tinued in the northern Fau borgs. A coi.flict took place on the night of the 1st. The opera tives mingled in the tumult, and pelted the Guards with stones. The meeting of the electic was marked by special violence. On the question of the Presi dency speeches were made, in which the population of the de partment were menaced in case Prince Louis should be return ed, and right of the minority to raise and maintain their opin ions by violence, if necessary, was declared amidst lout! ap plause at a banquet at Dijon. One of the orators pronounced a eulogy upon Murat, Robes piere, Collet, Merbois and Dan ton. In the assembly on the 2d. inst., an amendment was pro posed by M.'Pyattto restore the Detroit travail. The prop osition was supported by 86 votes and negatived by 648 votes. The rev ision of the Con stitution will be completed be fore the middle of the week. Latest. Vienna. Affairs in Vienna are frightful ; you can only get a true narration by the mail. Still Later. New York, Nov. 21. The Jlcadia brings tlatc from Berlin to the evening of the 29th of October. According to a letter of this date, a train had arrived from Vienna, but bro't no letters. The editor of the Gazette, says that Windis chgratz, who is in command of one division of the besieging army, will take the city by as sault. I Passengers in the 7 o'clock train state that Vienna was in flames, and that Windischgratz had proclaimed, that all persons found underarm, should be 6hot. A letter say s that Vienna has capitulated. ' PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. OFFICIAL COMPtSTl. Below, we copy from the Metropolitan the official vote of the whole State, at the late election, and that paper says that from a hasty estimate which it has made, Gen. Caa majority will be about 7,406. A ny one, however, who wishes to know the precise result, can figure it for them selves, i ratucriiT. - -. COVEBNOR.

On tho first attack of this disease, the fauces generally become much inflamed, soon succeeded by grayish sloughs, which renders the breath fetidthe parotid and other glands swell, tumefy and suppurate. The tongue, teeth and lips are covered with a brown or blockish incnistatior, the eyes red and dull, deafness, delirium, co ma, and when malignant, death frequent ly closes the scene. No form of mercury, nor any medicine that excites the mucus membranes should ever be given in this disease, as the inflammation generally centres in these membranes, particularly the fauces, parotid and other salivary glands. The prima via should be imme diately evacuated, and we know of no thing so well adapted to this as Dr. Bragg's Indian Queen Vegetable Sugar Coated Anti-bilious Pills,which operate thorough ly without irritating. Cooling drinks should be given freely, and frequent bath ing with cold water baa the happiest ef- feet. . Follow up with the Tonle Pills for a few day s to restore she system to healthy action, and sound health will soon be es tablished.1 Atrial will satisfy any one of the entire efficacy of this course of treat ment.
