CITY AFFAIRS. SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE. We were much gratified, on visiting the Smithsonian Institution a day or two sinee, observe the rapidity with which the section ol the building now in progress, is advancing to wards completion. It is of course impossible as yet to form any correct opinion of what thif noble structure will be when finished, but, so far as one can judge, there is every reason to believe that it will be worthy of its munificent founder, as well in regard to the excellence ol the materials used as architectural beauty. The committee to whom the selection of a site for the edifice was entrusted, have, as it appears to us, been peculiarly happy in the choice which they have made.

Situated on a com raanding poiat of what is called the Mall, it presents to the beholder a panoramic view o' the dry, its public buildings, and environs, oti which the eye rests with unalloyed satisfaction On placing himself in the north front of the edifice, the spectator beholds near him, in the foreground, a gentle toward.the canal, admirably suited for the purposes ol the Institution in experimental gardening, whilst, is the distance, the noble Capitol, with its lefty dome, forms the background of the picture on the east In turning to the north, the fine proportions of the Poet Office Depart and the more grand and commanding outlines of the Patent Office, furnish object? on which the eye rests with infinite pleaaure; and the gratified vision, as it passes the west, lights in succession upon the Treasury building and Presidential mansion, until at length it finds the hor'tftQn bounded by tht towering dimensions of the National Observa tory, situated on the summit of Camp Hill. As a tilling up for this enchanting landscape, he has outstretched before him the various marts of traffic, interspersed with extensive hotels and neat private residences, wbich cover the slopes as they rise from the base-line of the Pennsylvania avenue. So much for the physique and material of the "Smithsonian Institution," as they preseni themselves to the senses; but of its morale and intellectual, the future alone can speak. The will of the projector of the vast scheme ol benevolence of which this noble pile is to be the outward sigu, provides, we believe, speci ticaliy, for the appropriation of a given amount to the erection of suitable buildings; and in making their arrangements tbe Regents very properly, governed themselves by the views of the donor, therein bet forth. Iu carrying out a scheme for the diffusion of knoic ledge among mankind, everything depends upon the agencies employed in effecting this grand purpose, and the channels through which the benign influences of learning are to be imparled to every branch of the human family.

If we may be allowed to express an opinion with regard to this all-important view of the matter, the diffusion of knowledge among man kind will not be best promoted, according to the intentions of the beneficent individual ol whose philanthropy it ia to stand forth as a living monument ia time to come, by the for. mat ion of vut libraries of rare books, or tbe endowment of professorships, in which learned men may doze over the musty speculations of ages that are sped. It is the knowledge for the nation, constituted as they are of individuals pursuing tbe various practical vocations of liie, that he had reference; and it is to the diffusion of such' knowledge, that it may find its way into every workshop and every cottage in the land, that the views of the great English benefactor of our coontry were directed. We have heard much ol the purchase of works costly on account of their rareness and antiquity, for the use of the Institution; and we sincerely hope that what we have beard is not true, as it would certainly indicate that the gentlemen at preseni entrusted with the management of the concern, attach an undue im-' porta nee to what may be called ancient lore. Mr.

Smithson was. a practical philanthropist. Had he wished to have made a collection of curiosities in literature, he would have confined his donation to the Old World, where such things are valued most highly, rather than seek our Western Hemisphere, where practical enterprise, with reference to future improvement in the arts and sciences, forms the great object of consideration. Nor was it as we conceive the intention ol this good man, that the benefits to be diffused through this means should be of a strictly local must be the case if lectureships ate instituted, on which classes to be composed of those who are comparatively wealthy shall attend. It was his purpose, if we mistake not, to make knowledge, as far as practicable, omnipresent, and to enable its apostles and advocates to carry it home to the firesides of the most bumble and most remote.

He wished it to go wherever a book could be bound in calf and lettered in gill, but I in the cheapest form possible, consistent with usefulness and durability. Libraries and museums and laboratories are aH gocd in their way but they are incidental to the plan proposed, rather than its primary objects. If teachers in the practical sciences are to be fitted for the noble work of diffusing knowledge free of charge among the people, and visiting every village and every hamlet, spreading abroad intellectual light among the maeses, it is all very well; and so far as libra laboratories, and museums are required for this end, so far are they desirable, but noj ''ituwr. The Smithsonian Institution roust, in niJanre with the views of its worthy nnO be rather the source whence knowl is diffused everywhere, than a mere con servati'i. ol learning, as aa the gas in Mr.

CtuvAittt's (Win at the Capitol, until wants of man cause ii blaze out at the nd of Ins long-drawn intended to give brilliant to the legislative halls.

LOVE'S EJVGjJGEJMEJYT WITH THE LYVLLYS. A published in the Clay county, Tribune, give, a more d. (tiled account of ihe engagement detachment of Lieut. LovtV command and ihe Indians, on the Arkanaas, than we have yet seen. The letter ia dated on ihe ground, the Arkanaaa river, 27th June.

The battle took place on lha 26th, about sunrise, when aotne of the men were gioon irg their horses, and others were preparing breakfsat. The attack was made on a provision train, stout threa-qusrura of a mile in the They had chosen their position during the night, awaiting daylight, when the cattle would be turned out of the coral. With the exception of six or eight yoke, they auccceded in driving all the cattle over the river. The Indiana thus engaged numbered 250 or 300, and were well mounted, and armed with lances, guna, pistols, bows, arrows and About twenty of tho dragoons atarted to recover the cattle, if poesible. They followed about mile, when regular engagement took piece.

The Indiana appeared to be on the retreat; but this waaonly done to get the men as far as poesible on the prairie. About a hundred Indiana had been stationed on the oppof bank of the river, and ihey now chsrgrd across, came up in the rear of (he Drag, ons, and completely surrounded them. They now had it band to hand to ten Indiana upon cne man at a time, The engagement laated twenty minutes, and 6ve of our men were killed, and six wounded. The n.iy the killed D.ckheart, George Uaekell, J. H.

Blake, 8hort, and Aldrich. Thoae of the wounded, 8ergeant Bishop, privatea Lovelace, Vancsster snd Ward, severely end Wilson J. Bush, slightly. Sergeant Bishop waa shot through ihe left side, above the hip; Lovelace was diagon dly through, from the ri4ht ler to the breast; Vancaster was shot through, from side to was not expected to live. They scalped three of the men.

Some of them had as many as thrive to fifteen wounds from the lance, and were horribly muti'aud the throat of one was cut from ear to ear ears of another were cut off, They were robbed of every thing about them. Aa fan as the Indiana fell, they were carried acrosa Ihe river, and their lose is eetimated at from twenty-five to thirty. The command would remain at their encampment until assistsnce cou be obtained for the provision trein. It is raid that the Indiana had proclaimed that not a train ahould croes the river, and it ia their intention to cut off all communicati in between Santa Pe and the fr tales. INTERESTING FROM SANTA FB.

The mail from the west yesterday, ways I the St. Louis Republican of the 17th inst, brought a mail from Santa fV. The latest dates are to the 27th of May. One of ihe letters which we hare seen that on the 22d of May Col. Price discovered that there were ins! ructions from the War Department, which had been received by the last mail brought by Mr.

Boggs, directed to the Colonel commanding in Santa Fe, in which it was announced that the President refused sanction any ol the acts of Geoeral Kearny, so far as they coufer any right upon ihe citiiens of the territory of New Mexico, as citizens of the United States; and Gen. Kearny, or the officer commanding, was directed not to permit to be carried into effect such part of the organic and statute laws of the territory as confers such rights. On the strength of these instructions, Col. Price officially demanded the release and remission of sentence of Antonio Maria Trajillo, convicted of treaaon to the United Staies. The accused was thereupon set at liberty.

"1 he next step to be taken, says the letter will necessarily be to announce to the Natives that, not being citizens of the United States, they cannot lect a delegate to Congress. "What think you will be the effect of such au announcement to a people whom we have been nearly a year past fighting, hoaxing, and talking into a belief that they are citizcns of the United enjoy rights and privileges as must suffer all U.e penalise, when offending that would fall upon the citizens of the States?" "The go on to aay, that the for the internal porernment of New Mexico received the full sanction of the President, and of course we shall proceed to elect members of a Legislative Council, and do all other acta and things that a people not quite slaves may do." "There has been a shameful crawfishing on the outs part, or presumption upon instructions and orders not given, on the other," in this matter of establishing a full territorial government in New Mexico. We shall see how this may be, when all the instructions are laid before Congress, but as Gen. Kearny, in the matter of citizenship, has not varied his conduct in California, we feel bouud to believe that he has not transcended the powers given to him in regard to New Mexico. The government has crawfished.

Except in the particulars which we have staled, the letter says all goes on as before. "Some fugitives from the valley of Taos, combined with guerillas and Camanchcs, are committing depredations beyond the Moro. A day or two ago, they ran off from Sauta Clara, or the Wagon Mounds, 250 horses, killing one, and wounded two of the party in charge. This has from the most culpable neglect of duty." The writer, alluding to the condition of things in Santa Fe, says "One thing must be done speedily. This military mob must be relieved, or wo must be relieved of them soon they become more lawless and insubordinate every the instructions lately received here, all the officers cieated under the Government for this territory are declared continue only until such time as the country shall be declared anuexed, or its possessions shall renounced."
