rp The startling intelligence reached San Diego on the 10th ult. of
the murder on the Deseret of Colonel Craig third infantry and Sergeant
Bales first artillery by two deserters from Major Hicntzclman's command
at Camp Yuma. They were arrested.
The circumstances of his death illustrate the character of the man and
are briefly these :
Col. Crai"- on the morning of the 6th ult. when about one-third of the
way across The desert from this side met two deserters from Camp Yuma
toying to make their way into the settlements. They were on loot and
.armed with percussion muskets. The colonel and his party were on mules.
He pursued the deserters taking with him two sergeants who like himelf
were armed with pistols and sabres. He followed them two or three miles
urging them to surrender and stating to them that he did not intend to use
force. At length the deseiters halted and Col. Craig taking off his sabre
.and pistol and handing them to the sergeant in their presence dismounted
and unarmed approached them addressing them at the same time. The
colonel's mule having strayed at that moment one of the sergeants "went
to catch it. In the act of doing so he heard two shots id rapid succession.
Turning his liead he saw the colonel and Sergeant Beals fall. They
then commenced firinsr on him when he put spurs to his horse and fled to
.camp. A party was immediately sent out. The body of Col. Craig was I
found and near it the sergeant who had been wounded in the leg the '
.same ball killing his mule. The wounded sergeant stated that Col Craig
was fired upon when within a few feet of the deserters; received the shot
in the front and lower part of his body; did not speak and expired in
About ten minutes. He was buried on the desert at a place called the
"Alamo Wells' Thus terminated the career of this most gallant officer
and most honorable and estimable man.
GEN. HAMILTON AND THE CREDITORS OF TEXAS. Washing-
ton July 19th. Gen. Hamilton notifies the creditors of Texas that the
Senate Committee refuses to make up the deficiency between their claims
and the offer of Texas and recommends that they accept the offer. Ho
also requests such as may be inclined to do so to inform him of the fact"
in ordsr that he may petition congress to relieve from suspension the live
millions retained in the U. S. Treasury and obtain the money for them.
He states also that such action will not deprive them of the right in fu-
ture to appeal to Texas and to Congress for the balance.
TROUBLE WITH ENGLAND. Boston Monday July 19. The Bos-
ton Cornier this morning publishes a despatch from Mr. Webster stating
that the measures about to be taken by the British Government relative
to the American fisheries will completely interrupt the fihery business of
New England and may end in the destruction of life. He states that three
English men-of-war are expected on the coast of British North America
with the object of seizing all American vessels found engaged on the fish-
ing grounds.
0 Mr. Webster and Mr. Crampton. the British Minister are now
here (Boston July 21) and are closeted together in Mr. Webster's rooms
at the Revere House.
ASSAULT. At Washington on the 1 1th ult. the Hon. G. W. Jones a
member of theHouse of Representatives from Tennessee made a violent
attack with a chair on Mr. Van Wick a clerk in one of the departments.
Mr. Van Wick was in conversation with Col. Niles and Mr. Jones over-
heard him say that "no member of Congress earned his money half as
-much as a clerk in the department." Civil and criminal suits are to be
instituted.
IF Hon. John Henderson formerly a whig senator from Mississippi is
now a zealous supporter of Pierce and King.
MR. WEBSTER AT BOSTON A dispatch from Boston to the Balti-
more Sun furnishes the following brief account of the arrival of Mr. Web-
ster and his reception at that city. He arrived at Boston from New York
sia. Long Island Sound early on the morning of the 9'h ult. much to the
disappointment of persons residing in the towns on the New Haven route
where receptions were intended to-be given. He afterwards proceeded
to Roxbury where he awaited the committee of reception:
' The reception that took place this evening was the greatest that has
been given for many years; the militaiy mustered very strong not less
than twenty-five companies being out They suffered very severely from
the heat) the thermometer rising to one hundred and two degrees in the
shade.
The houses were decorated with flags and the city wore tho appear-
ance of a national holiday. The streets were thronged with spectators
and .bouquets were showered into Mr. Webster's carriage by the ladies at
the windows. The crowd of persons collected on the Common was esti-
mated at 30000. Mr. Webster on reacing the platform was vehcmently
cheered but looked worn out and dejected.
Mr. Webster was welcomed by J. Thos. Stevenson in an eloquent and
appropriate address. At one passage Mr. Webster was so much affected
as to be unable to control-his emotion anil burst into tears. On rising to
reply he was greeted with tremendous plaudits. His remarks were full of
gratitude and feeling but contained no important political allusions.
He was afterwards escorted to the Revere House where he remains for
the present. After nightfall the residences of a great number of his ad-
mirers were illuminated and a display of fireworks made from a number
of buildings.
