We find the following account of the expedition of the Icxian Invincible, as thev arc called in Mexico, in the St. Louis New Era of Monday. It is written, it will be socn bv one of the company, and is said to substantiate the official accounts on the subject, and give some facts not be fore made public. Missochi Rivtn, July 28, 1843. On board Steamtr Tobacco Plant.

The "Invincibles" organised at Georgetown, Fannin county, Texas, end proceeded from thence to net against the Mexican Traders on the routo from the city of Santa Fe, eastward, according to the authority given by the President, to Col. Jacob Snively The "Invinciblus" left Georgetown for the field of action on the 25th April last, and, after a march of about 350 miles, struck the Arkansas river, on the 25th of May, about where we supposed the lOOlh decree of west longitude crosses--il beine about 40 miles below where the Santa Fe road crosses said river. We were joined by Col. Warficld about the 4th of June. On the 19ih of June we came in contact with the advance of Governor Armijo's army, (about 100 Mexicans,) under Chaveler's.

About 100 Tetians engaged in the attack on them. After firing three rounds, we broke their ranks, killed 20, wounded Z6, and iook all me rest prison tin without having Texian hurt. The Mexi cans were fortified in a ravine near the trace, or road, about 16 miles from the Arkansas river The Texians. when all together, numbered about 190 men. We teamed, through the pris oners, that Gov.

Armijo was coming on with 630 men, and was then about 40 miles behind them, and, also, that the Mexican caravan was on its way. under an escort of 240 U. S. Dra eoons. under the command of Cant.

Ccfoke. Armijo, however, like an old fox, tired of the chase, retreated back beyond the Semi rone; and as the Caravan did not arrive at the expected time, we supposed lhat the company had returned 10 Missouri. VVe therefoie sent the prisoners homeward; and eighty-four men of our party started, on the 29ih of June, from our camp on Owl creek, a branch of the Semirone, to return to Texas. The remainder, being 106 men, marched over to the south bank of ihe Arkansas liver, about twenty miles below the Santa Fe crossing, and, as we supposed, upon Texian soil. Next dr, however, Capt.

Cooke took us by surprise, as we had no spies out, and one half of our men were out Buffalo hunting, lhat officer contended that we were east of the 100th degree of longitude, and demanded our Arms, giving us full liberty otherwise; which terms we accepted, it being the most politic, both as regarded ouiselves and our Government. Cols. Snivslt and Warfield, with 70 men, started to return, with five guns, to Texas. The Ca. mancha Indians took advantage of their defenceless stale killed four of their men, and drove off sixty horses and mules.

Warfield pursued them with five men, intending to retake the horses, but he was surrounded by ahout 150 Indians. Warfield repelled the attack; killed seven Indians, and returned to camp without having a man hurt. This expedition was commanded by Colonel Jacob Snively, and was divided into fuur compa-nies. Previous to our breaking up, Ambrose Spen- cur, son of J. C.

Spencer, present Secretary of the treasury ol the U. states, was our Judge Advocate. We fully believe that if Capt. Cooke had not interfered with we should have convinced Gov. Armijo, before fall, lhat he was not a Napoleon, he having had the vanity to compare fiimfelt with that renowned conqueror ery Kespertfullv, SAMUEL HLTFNER.

The following is the order given by the President, to Col. Snively: "You are hereby authorized to organize such a force, not exceeding three hundred men, as you may deem necessary to the achievement of the object proposed. The expedition will be partizan; the troops composing ihe corps to mount, equip and provision themselves at their own expense, and one hulf of all ihe spoils taken in honorable waifare to belong to the puhlic, and the Government to he at no expense whatever on account of the expedition. The force may operate in any portion of the territory of the Republic, ahove the line of settlements, and between the Rio del Norte and the boundary line of the United States, but will be careful not to infringe upon the territory of Uiai uovernnieni. Ai the object of the expedition is to retaliate and make reclamation for injuries sustained by Texan citizens, the merchandize and all other property of Mexican citizens will be lawful prize, and such as may be captured will be brought into Red River, one half of which will be deposited in the Custom louse of that city subject to the order of the Government, and the other half will belong to the captors, to be equally divided between the officers and men; an agent will tie appointed to assist in the division.

The result of the campaign will be reported to the Department, upon the dishandmer.t of the force, as also its progress fiom time to time, if practicable." BENTON COUNTY MEETING. The following, from the Osage Yeoman, will show how the Van Buren men, or rather Benton, are trying to commit Missouri to Mr. Van Burcn. It will bo seen the Johnson men understood the game that was to be played upon them, and adopted the proper course, which will no doubt be of more benefit to them in the end, than all the intriguing and underwork they could got in operation. The people, in whom the power lies, are opposed to all such intrigues and unfair means as arc resorted to by Mr.

Van Burcn's friends, and so soon as they can be made to understand they arc imposed upon, they will not only turn their backs upon him who sought to impose upon them, but they will loathe those who were the instruments in attempting to carry out the imposition. Detesting political jugglery in any parly, and being hopelessly situated, so far as the success of our own is concerned in this State, our feelings naturally lend us to take part with that portion of our opponents who seek to carry their men or measures by fair and honest means, rather than those who pride themselves upon their skill in practising fraud and deception upon the people. It matters not to us, as individuals, or as members of the great whig party which portion of our opponents succeed; we have about as much to expect from the one as the other, and only take sides with the Johnson men, because it is a natural conclusion, or at least a plausible presumption, that if those who seek office by fair and honest means should prove successful, in their administration of public affairs they would still be governed by candor and honesty: and, vice versa But, to the strictures of the Yeoman on the meeting, which will show the Johnson men understand what they are about, and that they will be able to succeed in their efforts without extraneous aid or sympathy: THE MEETING ON MONDAY There is no doubt but that an attempt will be made to create sn impression abroad, that the meeting on Monday wa3 an expression of the sentiments of the democratic party of this county In order to correct any such impression, we give a full and impartial history of the whole a (Fair. We were not present at the commencement of the meetine, nor did we get to the court house until Mr. Shields, (who was requested to do so) was rending the preamble and resolutions.

The proceedings subsequent to that lime, we wit nessed those prior, we have from persons pres ent, and cannot be contradicted. After the chair man and secretary had been appointed and the committee selected to drall a preamble and reso lutions, B. P. Major who had just arrived at the Court House, enquired of the chairman, what the object of the meeting was? to which the chairman replied that it was to ten the relative strength (race their steps. He said he did not wish to be considered as interfering with the democracy of Benton but he charged them as they valued the union, the Harmony and mutual concession oi the democratic party, to retrace their steps to call the chairman back to his seat and re-open the meeting, for the proceedings had not been conducted as they ought to have been, Mr.

Whipple, another Van Burcn man, expressed a desire that the chairman should again take his scat, for he confessed lhat the proceedings had been irregular. 1 he chairman accordingly Iook his seat, and Mr. Dixon moved lhat the resolution expressing a preference for Mr. Van Buren be postponed until the nsxt Circuit Court. Mr.

Robinson moved to amend by postponing all ol the resolutions. A debate ensued which lasted until the hour to which court had adjourned, and notice bcinir given lhat the Court wished to oc cupy the room, the meeting adjourned without taking the question either upon the motion or the substitute. Among the resolutions ihere were many which no one objected to, consequently the friends of Lol. Johnson, as democrats could not vote against resolutions, the majoiity of which were democratic because they contained nt least one objectionable one but they would not vote for them because they could not sanction that one COL. BENTON.

Speaking of this gentleman, the Boon- vine observer oi eunesciay, says: i ms dignitary left our city on Sunday last, perhaps for the Southern Counties. We are informed, before he left here he succeeded in turning the tables from the "Old Mohawk," as Van is pleased to call Col. Johnson, to the sage of Linden wold. Good and faithful servants arc these Democrats wonder what the great "httmbuggcr" their master, will tell them to do next. The editor of the Register is a wayward boy, but we arc unwilling to say he has changed his position again, and suffered himself to be wjieedlod into the support of a man he had laid aside in bestowing his preference and support to Col.

Johnson. Although from our knowledge of him, we would not be surprised at such a course in him, we believe our information cannot harm him farther than the prostitution of principle has already assigned him credit and standing in his political and editorial capacity. rjGPThe Madisonian States that the President has ordered the sloop of war, building at Norfolk, to be called the Jamestown" that at Boston the "Plymouth" and that at the Washington Navy Yard the "St. Mary's," in commemoration of the first places of permanent settlement in America.

Major then replied that there had been no notice of the meeting given that not one fifth of the democratic voters of tho county were present and it was impossible, under the circumstances, that a lair expression of the senti-ments of the democracy of the county could be obtained. Mr. M. said ho had no objection to this meeting expressing an opinion as to their preference, but he objected to the opinion of this meeting being taken as an expression of the preference of the democracy of Benton County. Here one o( the friends ol Mr.

Van Buren replied that the object of the meeting was not lor the expression of such preference, but merely to divise some mode of representing the will of the people in the JYitional Convention. Willi this uncontradicted explanation, the friends of Col. Johnson were satisfied, as they were not so licitous for the meeling and had no intention of getting one up, without previously giving sufficient notice, that the whole strength of botli fa vorites might be present. The meeting was got ten up by the friends of Mr. Van Buren, anil the chairman, secretory, and the whole of the committee to draft the preamble and resolutions were Van Buren men.

Several addresses were then made by ihe friends of Mr. Van Buren; and Mr. F. Robinson, one of the friends of Col. Johnson, was called on for a speech.

He declined addressing the meeting, until he should have heard the preamble and resolutions read, as the meeting had only been called in relation to agreeing upon some method of representing the people of the county in the Nationol Convention, he wanted to hear the resolutions before he made a speech Upon the conclusion of ihe speech of Mr. Shields of Cooper, who was invited to address the meeting, and who made just sueh a speech as any democrat having the good of the entire democratic party at heart, would have made, the preamble and resolutions were read, and the question was put to ihe meeting for their adoption en masse. Mr. Major moved lhat the reso. tions be read, and the question taken upon each, separately but no attention was paid to his motion.

The question was put and the resolu tions were adopted. Upon the taking of the question, some la or voices were heard in the altirinative, and not one in the negative; and the meeting'adjourned aiiiid the hurras of two or three, who declared lhat it was a unanimous vote, and at ihe very lime that Mr. Major whs on the floor enquiring whether the friends of Mr. Van Buren desired to gag Col. Johnson's friends or to break up the meeting they had called without notice, to prevent the friends of the old hero from being heard.

There were probably, one hundred and fifty persons present, yet there was not a negative voice, but no one will pretend to say there were no Johnson men present. The truth is, they had been deceived, and would take no part in the vote, but we have been led to believe by those who profess to know, that if the vote had been regularly taken, the friends of Col. Johnson would have out numbered those of Mr. an Buren. After this hasty adjournment, Mr.

Major took the stand, and claimed the attenlion of the people. He denounced the proceedings of ihe meeting as being over hasly, as having been gotten up by a few leaders, and a committee packed to give utterance to sentiments which were not the opinions of the people of ihe county that no notice had been given of the meeting, lhat the friends of Col. Johnson had been denied a hear, ing, and as such he would publish it to the world. Mr. Shields who is a strong Van Buren man.

Insult to the American Minister. Wilmer and Smith's European Times says An event occurred at uxtord, last wecK, which can hardlv fail to rankle in the minds of the citizens of the United Stales. Their able and popular representatives at the Court of St. James, Mr. kverett, was subjected, by a number of undcrgraduntes and other small try, in tho theatre ot mat university, to a gross insult, when the heads of the college were about to confer upon him the Degree of Doctor of Laws.

The following are the particulars of this unpleasant proceeding: The Oxford Convocation, on Wednes day, conferred the degree of Doctor Laws on Mr. Everett, amid a scene of the 1.. I l.fl...l:9H..nhnn Utmost luiuun; juverai iiiiainivisuisrcuimsi because it is understood the American auv bassador was at one time a Unitarian min inter. A scrutiny into the votes was demanded; but the Vicc-Chancellor says that he was not aware of the fact until too lute a stage. The dissentients threaten ulterior proceedings, to set aside the degree; while in punishment of the riot, a fe low has been rusticated tor hve vears.

two other persons for three years, nnH fmirth for one venr. A nnmber of the dissentients have presented an address to Mr. Everett, earnestly disclaiming personal motive, and expressing the highest raspnet for his character and station. Tho Examiner, alluding to this disgraceful affair, says: There seems to be but one opinion, one feeling, as to the insult offered to the American minister at Oxford. At no pot house meeting of the lowest rabble could worse manners, worse taste, and worse feeling have been exhibited.

And, to crown the decency, zeal for religion is the pica put forth for 'tlrc rude breach of all the rules of hospitality and courtesy to a stranger. 1 ho defence, had as it is, is untenable, for honorary decrees have been conferred on persons not even professing Christianity; but the objection to Mr. Everett was one which, in the eyes of bigotry, is worse than that of infidelity, that he was a Dissenter. But the scene will be best described by an eve witness It is usual at the annual commemoration, which always takes place at this time, to propose some distinguished persons to Con vention for a D. C.

L. degree. Late on Tuesday evening it became known in the University that Mr. Everett, the American Minister, formerly an Unitarian preacher in the United States, would be proposed for this honour. The news created con siderable sensation on the ground of that gentleman's religious opinions, especially among members of that body, in which the right of bestowing degrees rests.

University law requires, that the proposed degree should be announced to the members of Convocation assembled, and their assent asked for conferring it; the form being Pluccl-ne vubis, Domini doctores? placct-ne vabis, magisln? If any Master dissents the Vice-Chancellor asks him whether he wants a "scrutiny," i. a poll, Pctis ne serutinium? If he says yes, then the votes of the assembly, pro and con, are taken on the point, and so the matter is settled. Several members oi Convocation on hearing of Mr. Everett's proposed degree, were disposed to intimate to the Vice Chancellor their sentiments on the subject, with the view thct the withdrawal of the name might release them from the duty they should otherwise be under of opposing his degree in Convocation. Mr.

Lewis, of Jesus, signified to the Vice Chancellor his intention of doing so. The Vice Chancel lor replied, that he hoped Mr. Lewis would consider his conscience discharged by that private protest, and not carry his opposi tion into Convocation, as it would disturb 821,000,000 00 Of these loans 810,711,498 25, bear an interest of 0 per 3.213,791 SO, an the harmony of the meeting.

GOOD ADVICE. The Charleston Mercury, inthecoure of some remarks on the hard times and the cure for them, gives the following sensible advice which will apply pretty well to thu place: Never confound economy, which is virtue, with stinginess, which is a vice, and often the very opposite of economy. Make your money before you spend it, and don't buy a thing because it is cheap; nor imagine for a moment, that extravagance and gentility have any necessary, or sensible connection. We "have too many young men among us, who seem to think idlenew a badge of high life, and the best mark of finished manners to loaf about from one place to another, spending their inheritance on frivolities, or more, running up debts they aie never going to pay, for aught depends on them. If these would remember that labour in this country is honor, and idleness disgrace, and only spend on their brains one half they waste on their backs, the times would be as easy again as they arc, and society be stocked with valuable men to fill its high places, and lucrative employments; whereas but too many we sec bartering their reputations lor per ishable dross, and melting their substance away by keeping up a blaze of gentility to the world, which a little puff of scorn will soon extinguish, leaving nothing, of them but an unsavory snuff.

If we might advise them, it would be in those lines of Ben Johnson, which we should like to see tuck up at every popular lounge and fash ionable corner of the whole town: "III have you sober, and contain yourself Xot that your sail be bigger than your boat; But moderate your expenses, now at first. As you may keep the same proportion still: Nor stand so much on your gentility, Which is an airy and mere borrowed thing From dead men's dust and bones, and none of yours, Except you make or hold it."
