Tbe Indiana land rust of the Mississippi had already been ceded to government by treaty, and tbe
red men only dwelt there, by the consent orgovern-

them. I took up my quarters al tbe bead waters di

streams, tributaries to the great father of water?

Suitiag the action to the word, he began to ¡ml]

held the thirteenth in his band, and finally laid it
upon tbe rest, exclaiming, ■•That's It, exactly."
E gave it back to him, telling him he owed bul
twelve,but the Great Spirit would not let me cheat

Mr. lintltmn'N Speech*
Iti the House oírKeprasentatiyes, when the death
of Hon. Presley Stoingva lüéntíjes) trfüifl Bausa,

between bim and our wi.konio' back. Secure in
the strange confidence with which mortality moeks

lie. lieiu-d no more aJBOng Dfi. OttS line of vision
n-ü.'l.j-t! nol half ao far ; bnt we measaeed dlstasee
only wití) our lio;ies. The death of .l'i*e.--!ey BwÜlg
eonie¡s nearer home to individúala in Ihis hody,
¡naSffiuch as he endeared hiniseU'UJ all most i'ratei--
iiallj ; and whether we admire his talents and consistent liberality on this floor: or recall around ttie
social hearth or board his bamofous originality
and oddity, our voices assume of themselves  the
low tone of aflfectionate ¡sírrow, and the «nile
*hich had sprang to the lip I'ade.s sadly way. We
cannot hut wonder and be amazed at God's providence ; but yet wonder y.'hy one SO fitted to Cheer
and make Inqipy. should hi; so early called away ;
at the very dawn ol manly existence, whose morning sun was rising with more than common brightness, that promised a long summer day of uscíul-
ness and well rewaided exertion, the twilight of
tiie grave came on; and they who loved him—the
aged parents, whose pride and stay he was—are
left to sit within the shadow of his eclipse. Tu
them and to the constituency he .so honorably represented, we can but offer om" condolence of sincere sympathy and regret ; and while we confidently re,;ign our owu will to that of tlie Onmiscient
One, who giveth and also taketh away in his good
time for his own purpose's, we cau best express our
feelings in the simple sentence, which should be
engraven on the stone that marks his grave—"'lie
had no enemies.-''
To ourselves let as bring this striking lesson
home, and in this hour—set apart not only to honor but to contemplate—let us ponder on the uncertainty of our time at mest. let us look onward
at thc work we have laid out for our lives todo,
aud upward to that power whence cometh our
power to do it. Let us remember that our sight is
not the same as His who made us, that when a t isk
seems done to us. to llim, the Lord, it is unfinished, and when most unfinished to us. to Him it
is already done ; that the thin thread of life where-
With we arc to weave thc web Of out* day's work is
often stayed in the hand at high noon, and knots,
odd blemishes, and places overshot, together with
the soiled spots and marks of careful toil, remain
as we have left them until the time of the great
showing; that deeds whieh are to us trivial hav
great influence, aad in one moment tread too fast
upon the heels of the other, burdened with its own
weight of aetion so much as to be unable to spare
anything to rectify or alter. Yet, while we are in
earnest, as these contemplations should make us,
we can gain still another lesson than that of our
mortality, from the one of our number, whose
work has been so lately finished. We ¡nay learn
that by the cheerful and conciliatory discharge of
our own duties, we eucouarage our fellow laborers
in theirs, so that we
high and low plav-es oi Power, and scatter, broadcast, tho blessings and blessedness of Troth, BgqaU
ty and Justice.
I'.ui lure  we come in contact  with  a  standing
complaint -not   altogether   nnfbabdBd  -and   yci
originating in a glaring faull : fbr whieh the industrial classes are themselves responsible, it U
said, and perhaps truly, that the essential Interests
of Agriculture and the Mechanic A rts have never,
se yet, bean duly represented In mir Éfaétenad tad
State Legislatures; and that, while otUey interests
bave been dulj protected and encouraged, '■■;. bu ,-
rial legislation, ours have been mosl shamefully
neglected.
Admitted'    and   whai   111 ¡ -11'.'     Whu-e fault ifl  tl ¿'
The ¡true answer bo this Inquiry places us in almost
a ridiculous position.     Let OlilO asa sample of all
Ehe members of this great confederacy, answer it.
Here we ai-e. B ¡Stale wilh inore than a qu-irter gfa
million of farmers, and a host of nieHiaides, a large
and overwhelming majority over ali ulasscs coin-
biped. And we eall ourselves the Sovereign People. We bave under cultivation, nine millions,
eight hundred and fifty-one thousand, four hundred and ninety-three aeres of land, ami uearl) n ¡
much more yet unimproved; Ami still
ihal we we nol fairly represented in the grand
councils t>¡' ¡he people, and oomaktinlnglj a aer!
that our editcaiinnal and  other  ¡uteres..-- ore  nol
properly eared for.
Whose fault ÍS it? It ¡S V'tur nwn fault: you
have neglected your own business. Vou have nut
qualifiedyourselves for high and responsible positions. You are-conscious =of the htet. and do not,
as a class, feel competent to take the keeping of
your own interests aud institutions info your owd
bonds. Youtlierelbre.selret others to do this business for you ; andstill you complain oi'ibe unfaithfulness of your chosen servants'. Whose fault is
it'.' Willi your limad aeres of Iniilful fields—with
markets at your doors, ond prices that would make
Jeshuram "grow fat. and kick"- with the school
master abroad, and in yuur midsl—with a Press
laboring to give utterance to the grand resnltfi >A'
seientitic investigations—with sons and daughters
rising up around you, to call you blessed, aad
whose " eyes wait upon you" for useful knowled'
you still complain of neglect, and wait i o he lifted I
out of the quag-mire of voluntary degrada! i ou and
désppndeneel '¡'his should not lie so. And ii fa
believed that the time is near at: hand, when men
and women engaged in Ihe Industrial (itocatlons.
will vise to the plane of a decent self respect, and
exercise a more comprehensive supervision of their
own interests and affairs. Itis our aimtoahl. Lo
the full extent of our ahilil.y. in bringing about bo
desirable a slate of things. Let every friend of
these great interests become a co-worker iu this
laudable undertaking,—Ohio Fanner.

CHAS. lí. JOHNSON, Scc'y
Inilueiicc ol" Agriculture Upon the Gcnerol
Xnterfsts ol" the People.
The intrinsic and comparative importance of
agriculture and kindred pursuits will he more
justly appreciated, when the o-enerosity of thinking
meuViiall have duly considered its inliueuee upon
the Social. Civil aud Pecuniary interests of the
American people.
The civilization of thc soil is eminently peaceful, aud tL*an.[uilizing. in its effects—-conducing to
the promotion of health, and to the augmentation
of happiness. Of course this is said in reference to
those who know how to think, how to labor and
how to enjoy. But we can never realize the peaceful influence of rural employments, until we have
heen abroad, into tlie great busy world, to observe
the fierce conflicts of antagonistic interests, the
stern grappling of mind with mind, the overweening
love of gain, the petty tricks of trade, the low
resorts of meanness, or ihe hazardous schemes of
reckless villainy, which contaminate and curse the
very atmosphere of" those places wheremea most
do congregate" for the purposes of trade, traffic
and hazardous speculation. From these great
" sores upou the body politic.'' we turn to the home
of the intelligent Farmer, or that of the enlightened, temperate and industrious artizan, aud Hiere
lind peace, contentment and enduring happiness
[sot everywhere, perhaps, for there are exceptions
to all general rules, aud sorrow and anxiety are
common to all classes; but if the rule does not
always hold good, other things, extraneous to these
modes of life, must cause the difficulty.
The Home of the farmer, where industry, directed hy intelligence, secures thrift—where thrift secures plenty, and plenty brings contentment—
where cheerfulness produces happiness, Witt joy
springs spontaneously from an exuberance of grati-
tudc to the Giver of mercies—títere yon may see
the intluence which a noble employment exerts
upon the social interests of the people.
But we arc not to stop here. From these flreside
sanctuaries goes out a redeeming influence, which
is embodied in the civil laws and institutions of
the .State and of thc Nation.
Virtue aud vice arc confined to no one class of
mankind. But we are free to say that the virtues
of patriotism sincerity, integrity and pricti:.al
honesty, are more congenial with rural pursuits
than with any other. Law—what is it but; an embodiment ot'a moral sentiment—-an expression of
the prevailing sense of right? Hence, the importance of having onr civil laws emanate from a pure
and wholesome public sentiment. And when* shall
we look for an influence, powerful, as an element
ot improvement—au intluence, adapted to fhe genius of ;;ui* social and pdii=;eal ins:.;l;it.i.;ns and th-
wants and emergencies of our civilization, if not
among thc independent cultivators of the soil'.'—
From those homes, where the virtues are not only
taught but exemplified—away from the haunts of
dissipation and prodigality—there mm-t, wercpeat.
go ont a redeeming principle, thai sbail purify the
Ajtsyrlnii Pnlati-m.
Mr.Layunl thus graphically  describes tin   Bpt£-
tacle which, in days of old, met the eye of those
who entered the abode of the Assyrian kings:
-"Hewas ushered in [through the portal guarded
by the colossal lions or bulls of white alabaster.—
In the first hall he found himseli' surrounded by
the sculptured records of the empire. Battles,
sieges, triumphs, the exploits of tlte cha.se, the
ceremonies of religion, were portrayed on the
walls—sculptured in alabaster, and painted tn gorgeous colors. Under each pictur.; were engraved,
in characters filled up with bright coppei, inscriptions describing the scenes represented. Above
the sculptnres were painted other event»—ttra
khiir. attended by ¿sis mhhwImmm-J muviers, receh
ing his prisoners, entering into alliances with
otliei* monarchs, or performing some sacred duty
The representations were enclosed in colored bor
4ers of elaborate and elegant design. The emble
inatic tree, winged bulls ami monstrous animal.-
were conspicuous amongst the ornaments. At tin.
upper end of the hall was tlie colossal figure <•>'
tin; king in adonuion before the supreme deity
receiving from his eunuch the holy cup. He was
attended by warriors bearing his arms, and by bi
priests or presiding divinities. His roboa, aa
those of his followers, were adorned by a gnmp Of
figures, animals, and flowers, all painted in brilliant colors.
'■The stranger trod upon alabaster slabs, each
hearing an inscription, recording the titles, genealogy, and achievements of the great kings. Several
doorways, formed by gigantic winged lions or
bulls, or by the figures of guardian deities. Led
into other apartments which again opened lutu
more distant halls. In each were new sculptures.
On the walls of some were processions of eolossal
figures—armed meu and eunuchs following the
king-, warriors latd^n with spoil, leading prisoners
or bearing presents and oiferiugw to the gods. < >
the walls of others were portrayed winged priest:
or presiding divinities, standing before  the Bacred
trees.
'■The ceiling above him were divided into square
compartments painted with flowers, or tlie figures
of animals. Some were inlaid with ivory, each
compurtaneift being surrounded by elegant borders
and mouldings.    Tlie beams, as well as the sid"s ol
the Bhambers may have been gilded or even plated
with gold and silver; and tiie rarest woods, in
which the ceder was conspicuous. v,as used for
the wood-work. Square openings in the BeiHnge
of the chambers admitted the light of «lay. A
pleasing anadow was thrown over the sculptured
walls, and gave a majestic expression to the human
features of thecolossal forms whieh guarded tlie
entrances. Through these apertures was seen the
bright liiui; of au eastern sky. enclosed ia a frame
on which were painted, in vivid colors, thc win 'ed

graceful forms of ideal animals.
"These edifices; as it has been shown, were great
national movements, upon the walls of which were
repreduutcdio sculpture, or inscribed in alphabetical characters, the chronicles of the empire. lie
who entered them might learn the history and read
the jgfory and triumphs of the nations. They
served, atthe same  time, to bring continually   to

them on festive occasions, or for thc celebtatton of

The Mountain Democrat (1'htcerville) publishes
the following letter from Capt. Davis, the hero of
the tweuty-seveu-hul)et-and-eleven-men-slain story.
If the whole affair be'a humbug—a " sell,''' ;us fast
people would call it, or a " lie,*' as slow folk would
name it—the redoubtable Captain is pleased to
persist In his statements. There is nothing like
sticking to a tiling. Right or wrong—stick to it.
Thus consistency and the admiration of others are
gained. The Democrat says that the Baron Munch
—Capt.Davis. we mean, has requested H to stato
that, if tliere lie any persons still skeptical, he, the
Captain, stands prepared to take them to the Ippt
«here the light took place, and show them tho
grave» of thc robbers, as well as those of his unfortunate companions, Or. Sparks and M. McDonald.
Ilis letter is as follows :

little of the matter as possible, lest my veracity
shottldbe doubted ; and besides it is a matter of
indifference to me whether the world is inclined to
believe it or not.   Yonr paper of last Sainrday
has just been shown to me ; and 1 see your remark
that I ''still persist in saying that every word of it
is true,-" Of course; I meant the general facts ns
published.   Since then the ''white hat" has been
sent down to me ; and, alter a more minute examination. I find that Ihe party who published an account of it, have erred tn the number of bullet»
that passed through it. They must have counted
all the ludes where the balls came out tii it, in
their passage Lhrough the crown and brim of it. as

figured it very much by poking their fingers thro'
