Here speaks the voice of God Let man be dumb,
Nor with his vain aspirings hither come.
That voice impels these hollow sounding floods,
And, like Presence, fills the distant woods;
These grooming rocks tn Almightys finger piled;
For ages, here, his painted bow has smiled,
Mocking the changes and the chance of time
Eternal--beautiful-- serene-sublime!

any gifts lustre by age-being all made of double
thickness, will be found on comparison cheaper

CIRCULAR. ~
To Receivers of Public Moneys, and to the De-
p0site Banks.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT., July III, 1886.
In consequence of complaints which have
been made Of frauds, speculations and mo-
nopolies, in the purchase of the public lands,
and the aid which is said to be given to eff
feet those objects by excessive bank cred
its, and dangerous, if not partial facilities,
through bank drafts and bank deposites, and
the general evil influence likely to result to
the public interests, and especially the SAFE
ty Of the great amount of money in the
treasury, and the sound condition of the cur
rency of the country from the further ex-
change of the national domain in this man.
ner, and chiefly for bank credits and paper
money, the President of the United States
has given directions, and you are hereby
instructed, after the 18th day of August
next, to receive in payment of the public
lands, nothing except what is directed by
the existing laws, viz gold and silver, and
in proper cases, Virginia land script pro-
vided, that till the 18th of December next,
the same indulgences heretofore extended
as to the kind Of money received, may be
continued for any quantity of land not ex-
ceeding three hundred and twenty acres to
bona fide resident in the state where the
sales are made.
In order to ensure the faithful execution
ofthese Instructions, all Receivers are strict
ly prohibited fion accepting for land sold,
any draft, certificate, or other evidence Of
money, or deposite though for specie, unless
signed by the treasurer of the United States,
in conformity to the act of April "a, 1920.
And each of those officers is required to
annex to his monthly returns to this depart
ment, the amount of gold and silver respec-
lively, as well as the bills received under
the foregoing exception; and each depo-
site bank is required to annex to every GER
ti6cate given upon deposite of money,
the proportions of it actually paid in gold,
in silver, and in bank notes. All former
instructions on these subjects, except as now
modified, will be considered as remaining
in full force.
The principal object of the president in
adopting this measure being to repress al
legged frauds, and to withhold any counte-
nance or facilities in the power of the gov
eminent from the monopoly of the public
lands in the hands of spectators, to the in
jury of the actual settlers of the new states,
and of emigrants in search Of now homes,
as well as to discourage the ruinous extern
sion of bank issues and bank credits, by
which those results are supposed to be
prompted, your utmost vigilance is requi-
red, and relied on, to carry this order into
complete execution.

Secretary of the Treasury.

We are Indebted to the Editor Of the Standard
OF the Union for sli? containing the following ill.,
telligence Of a sSirmish which took place between
small party Of hostile Indians and about forty
white men in Irwin county, on the 18Th inst, and
which reached Maledgeviile by express on Friday
last
PindertOwn, Aug. Is, 1896.
His Exctllency Gov. Schlcy:
Sir--On wednesday evening last n comn of In.
dams was discovered by Messrs. p. R. Oliver and
John Guy, back of Guys plantation and near the
river. six miles below this place. News of the
same were imme daely communicated to the citi-
zens of the neglborhood, and we succeeded in col
lecting company ofthirly- Weigh, men by 10 o'clock
the next morning.
We proceeded to the Indian eamp in two de-
tachmen,s, each Of us assuming the command of a
detachment. Our party was so disposed as TO
surround the camp, after eflecting which, we dis
covered that 1t was broken up and the Indians dis
pe!sed IN the direction of Florida
The trails were very dim, and artfnlly scattered
Tor The purpose of deeeivng their pursuers but,
having some experienced traers with us, We sue
ceeded IN trailing them, and after ride Of twelve
miles through the pine woods and ponds, came up
win them IN Irwin county in open pny woods
country. As soon as came in sight, our men
were ordered to charge, which they did promptly
and CALAMITY raising at the same time the war
whoop.
The Indians, who were drawn up in lie, were
so frightened that they broke and run, not taking
time and deliberaion to bring their rifles to n lev
el to bear upon US they discharged their pcices
at Us when we were within about two hundred
yards Of them, and before they had time to reload
they were overloaded by our charge, and soon de-
spatched.
After the battle, which lasted about twenty min
uies, We went over the ground aud found IL men
and We regret 10 say, women dead on the field.
The women SO resembled The men in their dress
that we could not discriminate between them in the
engagement. We took three women and two
children prisoners two Of The women are badly
wounded.
The result, Ct this engagement is Is killed, and
I'VE prisoners, comprising the whole party OF the
INDIANS, without any loss OF killed or wounded on
our part. The Indians were on foot, and had it,
Tie or nothing with them, except their guns and
munitions Of var.

1HE ELECTION At LARoE. IL viii be seen by
the return of votes for Governor already received,
that our anticipaons have been probably fully re-
allied. Gov. JESSIsoN is elected by an overwhelm-
ing majorty'-a majority Of not less than 5000 nor
probably over 10000. There will be as large ma.
iority of Wings in The House of Representatives as
was also an,cirated-nor less than fifty nor proba.

As to Senators We have no definite returns from
only Bennington, Windsor, Rutland, Addison, and
Chtenden. All these co1nies have elected Wing
Senators except Bennington. Franklin, Washing
ton and Caledonia counties. have probably gone for
the spos party. It will probably turn out in tie
end that the wings will have only about two thirds
Of the Senate.
