FACTS.

FAI y.
We happen to know something about
this Mr.. Mix, and something so important
too, that we cannot, consistently with our
sense of duty, withhold it from the public
on this occasion. Mr.. Butler has said a.
boye that there were suspicious appearan-
ces about the contract with Mix; and Mr..
Cambreling said she did not think the go
Yernment ought to have made contract
with Mix. Whether these gentlemen
were justified in their expressions respec-
ting this man, let the following incontro-
vertible facts now decide. These facts are
given me by the most respectable witness
ses, and | hereby pledge myself for the le-
gal proof of them whenever direct deni-
al shall render that necessary and proper.
.'ln the year 1911, Elijah Mix negocia-
ted promissory note for, say, between 8
and 4 thousand dollars, with Homes and
Towns Endorsement TO Samuel Stillwell.
under all understanding that Stillwell
should not put it ahoat in the market, with
out first apprising Mix of his intentions;
but, Stillwell wishing to purchase some
goods of Homes and Town, asked them if
it would be convenient to take in part pay.
ment, their own endorsement with
marks of surprise, they deried there was
any such endorsement in existence. Still
we'll was positive, and returned to get the
note to exhibit to them; meeting Mix at the
door, he told him of the negotiation, and OF
their having forgot their own endorsement
adding, that he was going back to satisfy
them. Mix heard him in silence, took the
alarm, consulted friend, and immediate.
ly left the state. 1t was then discovered
that he effected the forgery by the follow
ing;ingenious arti6ce.
"Some time before. having to pay Homes
and Town sum of money, he wrote re-
ceipt for them to sign, near the top OF the
leaf in his receipt book. in such manner,
as to enable him to cut of their signatures
from the receipt aud leave them attached
to the blink paper below, and then by
turning the paper back for front. he turn.
ed the signatures on one side into an in-
corsement on the other, and then by wri'
ting note and signing it himself payable
to Homes and Town, instantly Homes and
Town appeared as indorsers tor the same
sum. This he dld, and Immediately be-
came possessed with more than con]u-
rors adroitness OF the endorsement OF Hone
and Town, for upwards Of D3O00.
''For this piece Of dexierity, the Grand
Jury OF New York at the subsequent ses.
sion, saw fit to find an indictment for for
gerry against Mr.. Mix, which be took good
care should never reach him, and of course
never be tried. And now reader, you have
become somewhat better acquainted with
the man with whom the agent Of the GO
vernment has since The above transaction,
made contract by the nonfulhlment OF
which, strange as it may appear, he has
transferred to his pocket out OF the
pockets of the people, the trifling
sum Of D925 900, and has retired to
spend the money with leisure and dignity,
at Georgetown, where as we have been
told, he has been living in style of splen-
dor that vies with that OF the most opuIent
men in the place."

Shiny uncle WILLIAM had been revolu-
tionary officer, and enerprizing and as brave
soldier as ever fronted an enemy yet, with
courage bordering upon rashness, he united an al
most feminine compassion for weakness, and de-
lestation of all kinds Of oppression. Having been
somewhat crossed in early lite his mind had assn.
med contemplative character, and from frequent
wanderlngs in the country. he had acquired lively
relish Tor the beauties of nature, and was true
poet IN his feelings and sentiments AS his disap-
poiniment was entirely owing to the artificial char
acler OF society, he had imhibed dislike to manv
OF the rehnemens Of civilization &, with the polish
OF a gentleman and soldier, he delighted in de-
claiming against the folies of fashion and the vices
OF CIVILIZED communities. His opportunities Of
observation had been great and, in relating the
instances which he had witnessed of the usurpatons
OF the whites over the aboriginal inhabitants, he
painted the scenes with force that made his lis
teners blush and tremble for the country. One
evening he related to me the subject Of the follow
ing pages; but, as it is many years since, and m,
mind has been occupied by other, and doubles.

overset and destroyed in the breakers; but the men,

SUNDAY AND ADULT SCHOOL uNIoN.--Last eve
ing meeting Of this society and its friends, Grove
that spacious and elegantly neat place Of worship
lie | st Presbyterian church, in Washington squar
he meeting was opened by pious and appropr
lie address TO The Throne of Grace by the rev. M
IAN Week, who gave out the following hymn
hoir of the church.
Selected from The Sunday School Hymn Book.
CHRISTIAN UNION.
Let party names no more
The Christian world o'erspread;
Gentle and Jew, and bond and free,
Are one in Christ their head.
Among the saints on earth,
Let mutual love be found;
Heirs of the same inheritance,
With mutual blessings crowned.
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
Before our Fathers throne,
We pour our ardent prayers
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
We share our mutual woes;
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathising tear.
When we asunder part,
1t gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.
From sorrow, toll and pain,
And sin, we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign
To all eternity.
