can dispose Of TO an advantage. 1t has
also been stated that My Father will prob
ably buy in all the property at the sale
that does not GO of at high price.
1t might seem unnecessary to notice
such reports, but 1 find they are pre-
va,i,ns 30 generally, that without contra

family have already taken their final de-
parture and shall follow as soon as can
settle my business. My Father does not
want my property he will not be bidder

SPEAKER OF THE VIRGINIA HOUSE OF DELE
dATEs.--It is highly probable that, at the meet
ing of the Virginia House Of Delegates next win
ter, the ELECTION of Mr.. Banks, the former
Speaker, will be opposed. The names of sevc-
raj gentlemen have been mentioned to fill that
office, and amongst them we begin 10 hear talk
ed Of frequently, that of john JANNEy, Esq. of
London. We need not add the satisfaction we
should experience at such selection. To tai
ents of high order, Mr.. Janney unitcs industry,
amcnity ofmanners, and great attention to bust
ness. During the time he has served in the Lee
gislature, he has distinguished himself as rca-
dy debater, and for knowledge of the rules of
order. His honesty, Independence and frank
ness, also, won the esteem of political foes as
well as friends, and secured him the respect and
confidence of the members. Should Mr.. Janney
be determined upon the gentleman TO be run
by the Wings as their candidate for the speak.
er's chair, it would be compliment well deser-
we'd by himself, and proper to the intelligent and
influential county which he represents-a county
than which none other in the State can boast OF
more virtue, patriotism, elevated feeling, and
devotion to the cause of constitutional freedom
and rational liberty.-Aler. Gas.

INDIAN WAR.

The following highly interesting information
is furnished by the Arkansas Gazette OF the ION
ultimo, Of which we shall no doubt shortly have
the authentic particulars.
DesDerate engagement beficeen the United
States Dragons and PaURse Indidns.-By n
gentleman from Washington county, we learn
that the United States Dragons have recently
had bloody fight with the Pawnee Indians, IN
which the latter lost so killed, and l5O prison
ers Our informant derived his information from
n Young man who was at Fort Gibson when the
prisoners were brought in under an escort oil a
detachment Of the Dragons. The remainder oil
the United States forces belonging TO the explo-
ring party, were left in pursuit Of the Indians.
The Pawnees are said to have fought desperate
", and to have killed eight Of the Dragons
Several Usage prisoners were rc-taken at the
same time, from whom il was pretty satIsfacto-
rily ascertained, that the young man whom the
Pawnees took from the Rangers last summer,
had been killed. These the only particu-
lars that our informant was able TO collect. To-
days mail or that of Saturday next, we hope
will furnish the details of this affair"
Speaking Of this Indian expedition, the result
Of which is reported above, the Globe says
"The Pawnees and Commanchecs, warlike
and powerful tribes, are in continual hostility
with our frontier settlements, making frequent
and affecting nroads upon the white settlers, as
well as upon our Indian emigrants. These last,
the Government is by its treaties bound TO pro-
tect and unless an efficient protection is furnish
ed the great and long standing policy OF the
Government, of inducing all the tribes east, to
pass to the west of the Mississippi, will encoun-
Ter serious obstacles if not defeat
"Thc sickness which has prevailed, general.
" in that country, is an accident common to all
conditions of life, and would be singular OBJ
lection to necessary military operations 1t has
been general through all that region this season,
and even more severe at the posts than with the
troops in the field.
Sc After returning from the Pawnee towns, the
dragons will probably be divided into three de-
tachments, and be kept throughout the season,
patrolling between our frontier posts, ready to
prevent any iuroads from the Indians, or to pun
ish those who may have the temerity TO make
them.''

by the peculiar operation of the Act ot 1892.
 el-While on this subject, have to mention that on inspecting the names of purchasers, il Is apprehended that due eau tion is moi observed by the Registers H operating under the act of 1852, which provides that no one individual can enter ;:nc-c .han eighty acres in tracts of forty acres. Increased vigilance is strictly en- joined i'll this respect; and in order to ] ensure strict compliance with the law, the Register is hereby required to keep an al- phabeticaI list of the names of purchasers of quarter quarters of sections, which list must always be referred to as a check, prior to the admission of entries of land in That mode under the act aforesaid.
 aths In cases where individuals have set tied on public lands since the passage of the act of 18th June, 1884, the form of affidavit prescribed in the l4th clause of the circular letter of 22d July last, may be varied to suit the peculiar circumstances of such case, by striking out the words < cad Hat thsre acas not, at that time, ar.t person residing Thereon, of. cultsrattng the same,n and inserting in lieu thereof, all the facts in the case as they are found to exist.
 10th. Military land scrip cannot, under existing laws, be located on any public lands settled, or occupied, aeithod the aur'iHen consent of such settlers or occupants, as may be actually residing on said lands at the time the same shall be entered or ap- piled for" Such settlement or occupancy, therefore, although 1t may or may not have reference to any existing pre-emption priyl- lege, IS bar to the location of the s:rip, without the written consent of the settler or. occupant. The form of the affidavit prescribed for such cases by the circular letter of 2d October, 1888, will substan- italy remain unaltered but in cases where individuals are desirous of locating scrip, 1t is not deemed necessary to require from them two separate affidavlts, one under the circular of 2d Oct. 1883, and another un- der the l4th clause of the circular of 22d July last; but the substance of both forms may be incorporated into one afii- davit.
 llth. Payment is to be required ia all eases arising under the late pre-emption law at the lime the right of entry IS admit ted. In cases arising under the third sec ton, or i'll such as may be of doubtful character, and which you may deem it ne- cessary to refer for the decision of the De- partment, payment will not be required untii favorable decision IS communicated. Meanwhile the land claimed is to be with held from sale.

 MOUNTAIN SAILING.

On Monday last. the inhabitants of Hol- lidaysburg were permitted to witness mo- veity in the tide of emigration, which the completion of the grand chain of internal improvements has caused to flow through this channel, and by which the Mississippi and Delaware have been made, as 1t were, to unite their waters, and which has opened a new field ln which to display the ever va rying and never tring, and most universal ly successful native talent, for developing the undiscoyeredresources of this great and growing country.
 A gentleman of the name of Jesse Chrlsman, from Laekawanna, tributary of the north brance of the Susquehanna river, embarked himself and family, in all con- slsting of eleven persons, together with the necessary requisites for the comforts of a family, to wit beds, tables, chairs, stoves, cooking utensils, poultry, pigeons, &c. &c. on board canal boat of the following di- mensions: 29 feet long aud ' feet 1t wide, wide ofl which he proceeded down the north branch canal to the junction of the Juniata division of the Pennsylvania canal, and up the lat ter to HollIdaysburg, where he intended to dispose of his boat, and proceed by way of the Portage rail road and western division of our canal to Pittsburgh, on his way to the town of Hennepin, in the State of Illi- nols, upwards of fifteen hundred miles from whence he embarked, on the now tanned waters of the Susquehanna.
 Here It was suggested to Mir. Chrisman, by our friend, John Dougherty, proprietor of the Reliance transportation line, that 1t would be practicable to pass the boat, to- gether with the family and cargo. over the lowering heights of the Alleghany mountain, ana safely to land the same in the basin at Johnstown, whence they might proceed by water to St. Louis.
 MT. Dougherty accordingly prepared a rall road car, calculated to bear the novel burthen. The boat was taken from it's proper element and placed on wheels, and, by the superlntendence of Maj. c. Will llams, who politely offered his services to play captain of rail road cars and canal boats, (and who, be 1t remembered, was inc tsrst man who run a boat over the Alleaha- ny mountaln,) at twelve o'clock of the same day, the boat and cargo, together with the delighted family, began their progress over the rugged Alleghany. It was pleas ing to see the comfort and convenience that the ingenuity of man has added to the Journey ot the emigrant. The whole fam- y were comfortably located in the cabin off the boat, which appeared to glide up the heights of the Alleghanies, unconscious off its being fish out of water, whilst some oi the family were preparing the coming meal, others were lying on their downy pil l ]! low, occasionally aroused by the hissing of the steam from the engines at the head of the inclined planes, but they were not to be stopped by this hissing of the puf1ing audi l tory, but continued to ascend the proud emipence which the projection of ingenuity was destined to attain.
 And now. you may see her safely resting on the summit of the Alleghany mountain might has oyertaken thenl, and ahere they :

As they com menced descending into the valley of the Mississippi, which opens it's extended lap to receive all that may wish to enter, and here is no trivial vale, but wide and far spread counsry-2ooo miles ID length and 300 in breadth. How great the stretch of imagination required to comprehend the all most boundless prospect. On the top of the great mountain, this boat to some may appear a small affair, but greatness Is rela- tive. We do not wish to compare 1t to the vast castles that float on the ocean. Com pare them to the ocean, and they sink into insignificance. Compare our boat to the streams over which she now presides, and she rises in the scale.
 How great she appears when compared to the streams from whence merge the Ohio and Susquehanna rivers: but which are here hardly sufficient to float one plank of our boat-boa. did 1 say, no! of the vast ark of Jesse Chnsman, of Lackawanna. On Tuesday, our boat and crew left the sunny summit of the Alleghany, and smooth y SHded doWii heI lIon way 10 JonhStoWn, astonishing the natives. She was safely deposited in her own element in the basin at Johnstown, on the same evening, amidst the plaudits of the congregated citizens, af- ter completely establishing Chrisman's claim to rank second to the ancient Patriarch, whose ark once rested on the heights of Arrarat.
