The world of prairie which lies at dis tance of more than three hundred miles west of the inhabited portions of the Uni- :eIi States, and south of iiile river ifkat- sas and its branches, has been rarely, and parts of # never trodden by the foot or be- held by the eye of an Anglo Amercan.- Rivers rise there in the broad level waste. of winch, mighty though they become in their course, the source Is unexplored. = Deserts are there, too barren of grass to support even the hardy buffalo; and in which water, except in here and there a hole, IS never found. Ranged over by the Cumanches, the Pawnees, the Caiawas, and other equally wandering, savage and hostile tribes, it's very name is mystery and terror. The Pawnees have their vil- lages entirely north of this part of the coun- try; and their war parties. always on foot --and seldom to be met with to the south of the Canadian, except close in upon the edges of the white and civilized Indian set dement's. Extending on the south 10 the Rio del Norte, on the north to distance hundred miles of the edge of Arkansas Territory, and westwardy to the Rocky Mountains, Is the range of the Cuman- ches. Abundantly supplied with good hor- ses from the immense herds of the prairie, they range, at different times of the year. over the whole of this vast country. Their war and hunting parties follow the buffalo continually. In the winter they may be found in tho south, encamped along the Rio del Norte, and under the mountains j; and Tn the summer on the Canadian, and to the north of it, and on the Pecos. Some times they haunt the Canadian in the win ter, but not so commonly as in the summer.
 Itis into this great American desert that wish 10 condactmy readers--hrst solemnly assuring them that what am about to relate IS perfectly the truth, and that nothing Is ex- aggerated Or extenuated in the narration.
 In the month of September, 1881, Aaron E. Lewis, residing at the time near Fort Towson, on Red River, in the territory of Arkansas, was induced to undertake jour ney 10 the province of New Mexico, al- lured by the supposed immense riches in that country, and the opportunity which he imagined there was in making for tune there. He looked upon New Mex ico as sort of Utopia, country where gold and silver were abundant and easily obtained. In short, his ideas of 1t were precisely such as the word Mexico general Iy suggests to the mind. Neither has he been alone in his delusion. With blind- ness unaccouutable, men still continue rushing to Santa Fe, as if fortunes were to be had there for the asking. Men who by hard and incessant labor have amassed a little money, laying that out to the last farthing, and in addition, mortgaging per haps their farms to obtain farther credit, convey the goods thus obtained to Santa Fe, hoping thus and there to gain fortune. notwithstanding they have seen numbers returning poor and impoverished, after starting, as they are doing, with high hopes and full wagons.

*It has been asserted that there is danger from the Pawnees and Cumanches to the Che- rokees and Choetaws in their new country. Now, reader, the case is far otherwise.

GOV. FORSYTH AND GOV. CAss.

1t is pretended, in the opposition prints, that these
gentlemen are about to resign their stations in the
cabinet The fabrcators and crcuators of this false
rumor have seen it contradiced but as the two Sec
retaries have gone to specye homes, tturnh-
es some color for their imposition, & they, therefore,
ring the changes upon it, supposing that it will have
some effect both at home and abroad, in giving the
appearance of an unsettled condition of the public
Administration.
We again pronounce this story of the opposition
utterly groundless, and without pretext-and with
out even a circumstance, tending IN the slightest
degree, to make probable the event suggested as
about to take place. So far from returning home
with view to final resignation, both the Secretary
of State and Secretary at War have visited their
respective residences to prepare for an indefinite
absence from their homes. Gov. Cass, we under
stand, has gone to lay out his estate in lots for sale,
so that the city may be extended, MIR. Forsyth,
who accepted his station after long session of
Congress, and who had not before returned to visit
his estate, recently went to make the necessary ar
rangements for protracted residence in the city.
Both these gentlemen have the entire confidence
of the President and they cherish for him, know,
the warmest personal and political attachment

WHAT SHALL WE INFER! The Albany Daily
Advertiser, on the authority of Paris cOrespon-
dent to the London Times, inslnuates that blr.
Rlves while minister at France, during the " Three
ID tys of July used his influence with General
Lafayette, to get his support OF Louis philippe, and
thai the consideration OF his obtaining that support
WAS to be the recognition of the American claims !.
The inference which that print draws from this
supposed arrangement, is, that " it an outrage
upon liberty, and a sacrifice ofrepublcau principles
for The sake of money
But there are other differences, if the facts so
which the Daily Advertiser ought to draw, of much
importance, in their bearing upon the history
ofboth France and America. Iftrue, then was the
good Lafayette a dupe of Mr., Rives, whose talents
as negotiator have always been conemned by the
federal presses in this country If true, the justice
of claims extremely doubtful, notwlthstand-
in the progress which had been previously made, un
der the reign of the rejected royal family i Iftruc,
the honor of Louis Philippe is rather tarnshcd by
his delays in enforcing the stipulated indemnity ! !!
If true government, both executive and legisa-
tive, are no better than extOrtioners III urging the
equity of the claim, they have done ! ! If true,
the cowardice and gulblity of the French people is
most preposterous, IN passing the indemnify at all,
with these proofs of Mr., Riycs's chicanery before
their eyes and the mighty naiion which the Daily
Advertiser prophesied, would give much
trouble in of war; and humble us with an 9TH
er Bladensburgh," has been frightened into an act
of servie tribute--an act of cowardly and humiIa-
ting degraadton And lastly, if true the Albany
Daily Advertiser is the only honest upright, repub-
lcan print in America But it is not rue and
consequently, all these astounding inference, tumble
to the ground together; and ends the matter.
The Daily Advertiser must try some other point to
assa the honor of country and the character Of

account of fire in Charleston, S. c., from which
we gather the following particulars:
The fire commenced about IL o'clock on the 9th

next morning. The destruction of property is said
to be the greatest since the fire of 1870 which was
in the same vicinity 1t estimated that 374 dwell
lings and stores including out houses, were burnt,
among them a number oflarge brick mansions. The
fire being confined to part of the town remote
from the business portion, but few stores ncla
ded in its ravages and the loss of merchandise is
proportonably small. Whole loss supposed to be
about 10000, and only $4,000 insured

they have swept their opponents from office, and

probably do it again, ere long It's the order of
