From Fort Smith - Capt. G. Leftwich, of the Army, arrived here on
Wednesday last, from Fort Smith, which place he left about ten days
since. The troops from Fort Smith, had arrived at the place selected for
the new military post, which is about three miles up Grand River, on the
left bank, and not at the mouth of the Verdigris, as before reported. It
is called CANTONMENT GIBSON, in honor of the present Commissary General
of Subsistence. This post is about four or five miles from the mouth of
the Verdigris, and about the same distance from Choreaus's trading
house. Capt. L. brings nothing new from the Indians. |

Maj. Alexander Cummings has been transferred from Fort Smith to Red
river, and takes command of the new military post to be established at
the mouth of the Kiamiche. There will be two companies established at
that post. |

Mr. Philbrook --- Capt. Leftwich also informs us that on Sunday
before last, the body of a man, which there is every reason to believe
is that of Mr. Philbrook, was picked up about two miles above the
Spadre. He did not see the body, but was informed by several persons who
examined it, that there was a wound in the left side, and one of the
ribs broken, just below the left breast, which appeared to have been
occasioned by a ball, and that there was a hole corresponding with the
wound through the vest which was found on the body. --- These
circumstances lead to a suspicion that Mr. Philbrook was murdered, which
we consider very doubtful. When it is considered that the body had
drifted more than 200 miles, it is more than probable that the wound
appeared on it, was occasioned by drifting against a snag or log in the
river. The description of the clothes found on the body, we understand,
leaves no doubt of the identity of Mr. Philbrook's person.

Horses have recently been taken up by the Quapaw Indians. They are now

STRAY MARE
STRAYED from the subscriber, early in the month of November last, a BAY
MARE, about 6 years old, about 14 hands high, white stripe in her face,
left fore foot white, branded on the left shoulder thus M, and on the
left thigh thus (sideways M). The first brand is plain, the second not
so easily discoverable.
She was lost about 14 miles from Hardin's Bluff on the road leading to
Little Red river; was afterwards seen near the Cross Roads, on the road
from Little Rock to Batesville and is supposed to have been stolen by a
party of Cherokees, who were hunting in that vicinity at the time.
Whoever will return said mare to the subscriber, living at Wright
Daniels, 4 miles below Little Rock, or give him information so that he
may recover her again, shall be reasonably compensated for their
trouble.

TWO STRAY FILLIES
HAVE been running with the subscribers horses for some time past, which
do not belong to any person in the neighborhood.
One of them is a strawberry roan supposed to be two years old; the other
is supposed to be two or three years old. They are both fine animals of
their age. No brands perceivable on either.
The owner or owners of the above fillies can get them on application to
the subscriber being on the south side of the Arkansas, above the mouth
of the Palarm and paying for this advertisement.

A letter from the Hon. Henry W. Conway, dated March 20, to a
gentleman in this place, says --- "Since our road bill passed, little
has been done for Arkansas. Subjects of a general nature have occupied
the exclusive attention of Congress; but I hope, before the session
closes, that I shall be able to accomplish something more for our
Territory. Governor Miller is here. His health is now pretty good, and
he will return to the Territory in the spring; at least, such is his
intention at present."

We copy the following from the "Missouri Republican," printed at St.
Louis on the 26th ult.
CAUTION - The public are cautioned against trading with or trusting a
certain man by the name of PARKER WILLIAMS, who came to our office some
time since, and had a large handbill printed, which he called a
"Vindication of his character," against some heavy charges brought by
the good people of Boonslick. He says he is a preacher, though he never
would be suspected but for his own assertion. He is a stout man, and
when with us both dirty and ragged. He perhaps had a sudden call, or had
to leave here in a hurry for neither did he take his "Vindication" or
pay for it.
[ A man, calling his name Parker Williams, came to this place last week,
and on Thursday, preached at the Court House to an audience of about
eight persons. At the close of his discourse, we understand, he made
appointments to preach at the same place on Saturday evening, on Sunday
Morning, and on Sunday evening, next.] --- Edt. Ark. Gaz.

Mr. Philbrook --- We are informed by Dr. Swanson, who returned on
Sunday in the Florence, that he had the body of Mr. Philbrook, the late
sub-agent to the Osages, taken up, for the purpose of ascertaining the
cause of his death. The examination, he informs us, resulted in his
entire conviction, that Mr. Philbrook was MURDERED --- but by whom,
remains a mystery, which we hope may yet be unravelled, altho' we have
not heard a whisper of suspicion as to the author or authors of the
deed. The would which caused his death, was evidently occasioned by a
ball, which entered his left side, and passed through his heart in the
direction of his right shoulder.
