AVc would request particular attention
to tho important sTnvo ordinance which ap-
pears in to-day' paper.
Wo have to apologizo for tho want of
reading matter in our issuo of to-day but
bing obliged to publish tho important or-
dinance regarding slaves wo necessarily
had to leavo over matter which should
havo appeared.
TIic Hanger Itcglmcut.
The Galveston News of tho 23d inst.
takes from' tho Waco Democrat (which has
not yet arrived here.) a letter written by
Lt. Col. Smith of Col. Johnson's Regiment
of Rangers. Tho letter is written from
Oanip Ritdzyuiinki and contains news both
important and interesting.
Uol. Smith had returned from an expedi-
tion against - tho KicUapoo Indians. The
litter having heard of rtio forces coming
ngaiust them lied to Fort Arhuckle for pro-
tection ami wero received there under thf
gua d of tha U. S. troops. The expedition
then returned scouting back by companies
ninny of ihu men fnllinc sick but nil netting
back in safety.
The letter says ;
Tho scout of Cnpt. Peter Ross and
friendly Indinns have also rotuvned from a
scout of J 50 miles up Red river and re-
port no Indians to bo found. Also Lt.
Lang from tho Canadian with tho huuio
news. Tho U. S. troops under Capt.
iSturgls havo gona n hundred miles still
further and report that all tho hostile In-
dians have fled into Kansas and Utah
where thoy havo left their women and
children and to tho mountains for conceal-
ment. They also report that it is impos-
sible to pursue them on account of tho
Kcatcity of water and grass. They have
six horse tenuis to haul barrels of water
which wo havo not Many of our scouts
havo eomo in with their tongues swollen
and their lips parched and cracked open
from fasting for water. In many instan-
ces after marching for days and nights
thoy would at hist find water and rush
headlong into it only to find it so halt that
they could not drink it or if they did
they would bo immediately taken with
paiuful purging and vomiting of blood.
I havo often como upon men who have
crawled ofl' their horses and got under a
brush to die; and would havo to older
their comrades to take them up by force
put them on their horses and drag them
on until hotter water could bo found.
Even then I had to put sentinels over tho
water to keep thorn from killing them-
selves. The sun blazes in tho heavens as a great
ball of fire and tho wholo firmament is
liko a fiery furnnco throughout tho live-
long da). Every living thing is burned
up by tlio sun nnd in many places by fire
which has broken out from our camp fires
and bv Indinns who had sot fire to the
prairies to keep from being followed. .
Tho thermometer is always from 101 to
1 10 in tho shade. Wo are 10 miles above
tho last white man's house. Dumull's
Company refuses to bu'dgo because it is
so hot and will bo discharged to-morrow.
All tho other companies havo obeyed eve-
ry order that we have given and say they
will stand by their officers to tho last.
Rut none want to go any further. Even
our friendly Indians who firct got in from
150milps above yesterdayevening tell us
thijt no human being could livo up there.
They had to kill their horses and take
out the maw to pack water in to keep
themselves alive.
Since my writing tho above Col. John-
son has determined to go on in spito of
water ro and heat. Inaddttion to Darn-
all's company Captain Rurleson and Dul-
rymple's companies havo preferred to "go
back. They all start to-morrow Darnell
to bo discharged. Rut as Rurlesou and
Dalrymple did not absolutely refuso to go
on but onlv asked leavo to do so thev
are ordered back on tho frontier to their
old posts to guard them whilo wo are
gone. They nro gallant men and I regrot
to part with them. Wo go on with Wood's
Fitzhugh's Johnson's and Ross' compa-
nies nnd Capt. Peter F. Ross' Indian spy
company of 50 men accompanied by the
brave and futlifu'. old Plaeido And wo
will whip nnythirg wo como across in the
shape of Indian or devil. Rut there are
more terriblo enemies to encounter nnd to
overcome. They arc thirst hunger fa-

Douglas's itlaelc Itcpubltcaulsni
The Albany Kven n Journal-a strong Se-
ward juper thus notices Mr. I)ouj;lasH re-
cent speech at Alh.iny. Let every tiouth-
eruer lead it and ponder over it.
"Mr. Lincoln if called out by his ft lends
would havo given expression to thc.se senti-
ments. They are tho sentiments of the
Uepublican party. In all the ''slavery agna-
tions" hi Confess sieijee 1850 Itepuhhuaus
havo acted on tho tleftiibive. Slavery luu
been the aggressor.
"The ground Judge Dougla; is compelled
to occupy shows where thing? nro dotting.
Ills section of tho Democratic party has
ceased to bo tho pro-slavery paity lt is
now in the position as to slavery of the
Demociatio fieesoil party in 1818. Wheth-
er like that party it will when tho election
is over slide kick icmains to bo seen. Pro-
bably not. The census may iniluence its
com so. In tho meantime the pdncipeU
here announced by Douglas will bo vindica-
ted and established by tho election of a
Uepublican President."
What will Mr. DonglnstsSouthcrn friends
say to this unequivocal declaration from
leading lllacl; Republican authority of the
similarity between their leaders' doctrine
and that of Seward Lincoln and Greeley on
the rights of tho South in tho Territories?
There is no escaping from the dilemma this
declaration places Mr. Douglas in. Either
he tells one tale to the tSou'h and another
to the North or else tho South and the
North both agree in political doctrine and
are both anti-slavery.
His squatter soveieignty interpretation ol
tho Cincinnati Platfoim has been shewn by
tho author of that memorable document to
say nothing of tho opinions of tho leading
Democrats of the country to bo utterly
contrary to its real meaning intents and
purposes Mr. Douglas nor any of his par-
lizans. havo attempted anv reply wliatsoevei
to Mr Ilallett's crushing letter and speech
es published all over th country. Thaf
would be attempting to prove to a sane man
that he had lothis reason. With all his
boldness. Mr. Douglas cannot daro to con
tradict Mr. Ilallett's plain and unequivo
cat statement that in drawing up tho Cin
cinuati Platfoou le had not the remotest
idea of asserting the doctiine of Squatter
Soverignty a doctrine so cleat ly opposed
to the rights of theouth in the leintones;
a doctrine incomplete opposition to the de
ciMon of the U. S. Suprune Court j a doctt ine
which has done much injury to the South
in her own domain ;aud still more injury
in the North in enticing away from oui
cauM2most ol tha pallant band of Demo-
crats who until this fatal heresy preaihsd to
them had fungi t so valiantly for our consti-
tute nil lights in the Union.
. Tho true Southern press havo often as-
serted that Mr. Duugias's Squatter Sever-
eingty doctrine was but semi- Ulack nepubli-
