sELF-TAUGHT MEN.


They possess some peculiar advantages
over all other classes Of men. They have
confidence in their own power. WhatevS
er Of character they possess has been tri-
cd in a school Of severe discipline. They
have breasted the pillows, in great meas
urc, alone. Others have had their doubts
! resolved by teachers; in the fnd resort,
the whole depended on foreign and auxil-
larry aid their own powers have been
taskcd for while, but the last weight has
been lifted up by tho shoulders Of others !;
a clearer eye has penetrated the dark
cloud for them. II is sometimes the fact
that the individual who has been taught BY
others, has more confidence, he Is wayer-
ing, timid, pliable. His character Is not
compacted and assmilated, but yielding
and capricious !; his usefulness is, of'coursc,
greatly diminished. Butthe men of whom
/ speak have measured their powers.
They have depended very lille, on extra
neous aid. gSes- sfYs =
Another attribute of this class'of indi-
viduals is independence Of purpose. They.
are accustomed to form opinions according
to the decision Of their own Judgments
They are like that description of lawyers,
who have deeply studied the elementary
principles Of their profession, who have
followed out these principles into all their
ramifcations, and who como to conclu-
sions which are, in great measure, irre-
spectiye of particular facts which may Coz
incide, or may not, with an original princi-.
pie. Such lawyers are Independent, in q
great degree. ofprecedents, or Of the opin4
ions Of courts. BY severe thought, and,
we'll directed study, they have formed, an
independent habit Of Judgment. Such is,
the fact with those individuals who have
been self-instructors. They may err In
opinion, and their purposes may be form
ed on insufficient grounds, but they are not
accustomed to- bow to human authority,
nor yield their free agency TO the call Of
party or sect. t..,s, 7I a...sS.
Many Of this class have, moreover, an in
vincible perseverance. The resolutenessi
with which they resolve, has counters
part, in the untiring execution OF their
schemes. Difficulties only excite more
ardent desire to overcome them; defeat a.
wakens new courage; addiction nou:ishcs,
hope disappointment is the parent and,
precursor of success. Aresolution so strong

PROSPECTS

We know that most men place but Little
reliance in calculations, and perhaps for no
other reason than the unexpected majority
OF electoral votes given 10 Gen. jackson in
1923. But if they will review some ofthe
causes, and take into consideration The fact,
that 60 of his electoral votes were elected in
states where the aggregate majority of the
peoples votes for these go electors was only
% ,l61-every one of which states having
thrown off the shackles of Jacksonsm
will certainly vote against him in November
next, they will be prepared 10 look at the
signs of the times and judge correctly.
Let the following figures show by what
small majority of The people Gen. Jackson
was elected.
The electoral vote was in 1928 as follows:
Mr. Adams-63: Cen JackSon-l7S.
The following states gave 60 votes TO
Jackson, which would have been given TO
MIR. Adams by change of less than twelve
thousand votes

Dodge being about nine hundred men,

join him, which will probably put an end
to the war in a short time.

INDIAN WAR.

The Steamboat Niagara, Capt. STAN
ard, arrived this morning, bringing the
Detroit Journal of the lst inst. which
says that an express arrived there on
Sunday with Chicago dates to the Doth
ult.
The William Penn had reached Chic
ago with four companies of troops, and
no case Of sickness had occurred on the
voyage. Two or three cases of cholera
occurred after they landed, and about
the same number among Major Whist
ler's corps. A few of the citizens had
been attacked. The general health of
the troops was much improved. The
schooners Huron, Commerce and Ma
renge, freighted with public stores, had
arrived, and the Napoleon was near at
hand.
When the express left Chicago, Gen.
Scott was about to join the pursuing ar
my in person, leaving the troops to fol-
low when fit for field service. Gov.
Miller of Missouri has called out 1900
militia.
In consequence of the above intelh
gence, the requisition for militia from
this Territory has been countermanded.
DEFEAT OF BLACK HAWK.
BY the Schooner President, letters
have been received from Fort Howard
which announce the gratifying intelli-
gence of the defeat of Black Hawk and
his warriors. The details of the engage
ment are contained in following letter
which has been politely furnished us.
Fort HOWARD, July 25th, 1892
Dear Sir--Last evening we received
the intelligence of battle having been
fought between Gen. Dodge and his di-
vision, and the Sacks and Foxes, in
which the former were victorious. The
particulars, as stated i'll Captain Plymp-
tons letter to Captain Clarke, are these.
Parquett, with few Winnebagoes, left
Porsage few days since, to proceed 10
Gen. Dodge's army and guide them to
the Sac camp. On Saturday morning
asst, 2lst inst, Gen. Dodge sent his adj
jutant to report to Gen. Atkinson Of his
movements. He had not proceeded far,
before he came upon the Sacs and Fox
es' trail, directing their course to the
Wisconsin river. He Immediately re.
turned and reported the circumstance to
Gen. Dodge, who pursued and overlook
them about shutdown of the same day
Saturday on the left bank of the Wis
consin, and about 40 miles from Fort
Winnebago, where the fight ensued, the
Indians at the same time retreating.-
The night being very dark, they found
it impossible TO pursue them.--They
had found, when Parquelt left them,
which was early the next morning, rs
Indians killed, and but one white man
killed and wounded Parquett thinks
not less than 10 Indians fell in the en-
gagement.
Gen. Dodge was to start early that
morning Sunday, in pursuit, and had no
doubt Of overtaking them in the course
OF the day. The object is to cross the
Wisconsin, at what is called the Ford
and go down on the right bank to the
Mississippi. The force Of "Gen. Black
Hawk was reported to amount to about
three hndred aud Parquett is Of the o.

So much for the great majority of Gen.
Jackson in the contest of 1928, when the
candidate was promising and the phrensy
was increasing At the last election for
Governor in New York quarter ofa mil
lion Of votes were polled, and notwithstand-
ing large portion of the N. Republican
party voted for the Jackson candidate, Mr.
Granger came within thousand votes of
being elected. There is now an union of all
parties opposed TO Jackson, both upon the
Governor & upon an unpledged ticket for e
lectors, both of which will be elected by
10000 votes. New York is, therefore,
sure against jackson; so is Kentucky, Ohio,
Indiana and Louisiana, all of which have G.
lected National Republican Governors and
Legislatures, each by a majority of some
thing like 3 900 votes.
