“The McKiin brought dates from New Orleans

iliree millions for the proposeil war, at a rate of in
terest not to exceed 15 per cent. Thm war is stiil
liiected against our frontier, and not against ilie
United iStates, as we anticipated would be the poli

Santa Anna’s release. A proposal has heeii n»ade

THRILLING ADVENTURE IN THE MAM

The following thrilling incident is related of a
party who visited the Mammoih Cave, in Ken

‘ A w’edding party went to the Cave lo spend the

horrence lor foreign interference, and withering
indignation for Dr. Jones. To repose on such an
occasion would be a libe on American liberty,
and a dirgrace to the Anglo-American race. It
would be an admission that our independence has
not long since been achieved bj' our own arms, but
