DIED, on the Eth February, on the Sem eca Reservation, in Penr sylyania, the cele- brated Chief GAR-YAN-WAH-GAN, or CoRNplANTER, aged about 100 years.
 This noble Indian, at an early period of the Revolutionary war, took an active part on the side of the Americans in that glori- ous struggle, and has ever since manifest ed the utmost friendship for the whites. When solicited by Washington to send some of his young men to Philadelphia for the purpose of being educated, he sent at the head of the band his son, Henry O'Bai --an evidence of strong mind overcom- ing deep rooted and long-existing preju- dices.
 He, with his associate, Red Jacket, was, for many years. lhe counsellor and protec- tor of the interest of his nation; and we re- gret that our sources of information are too limited to furnish the particulars more fully of the eventful life of this NATURES NoBLEM .n-Butfalo Journal.

It seems that high prices for provisions are not confined to tic West. The New
 York Journal of Commerce says, that in that city ducks are selling al $2 50 pair; chickens (snaI ones) at $1 50; beef, l2
 to l6 cents; veal, IA cents; eggs, cents
 a piece. These prices, however, must
 soon be reduced, as they are not caused by
 any increased demand, but by the inclemen- cy of the weather, rendering it very difficult Tor the country people 10 get their produce |to market.

 ELECTIVE FRANemsE.--Wlth all our prejudices against English liberty, it does appear that the King has some privileges after all, and is at least entitled to vote. The following IS from the Windsor poll books:
 Name. Residence. Profession William the Windsor King of Great Bri- Fourth. Castle. tain and Ireland.
 According 10 custom, or law, we know not which, and in order to secure certain privileges III the city, the heir apparent to. the English throne must be mechanic. George the Third or Fourth was button maker. Louis 16ih, of France, was an ex- cellent locksmith and a good miller. Pe- ter the Great was a ship builder. Several of the European monarchs are excellent turner's. We notice these facts, that our young men, with such examples, may not turn up their noses at an honorable trade.

 The Emperor JosEPH, of Germany, was printer. Whether he acquired his know ledge of the art in compliance with an esta- blished usage, or ftom love of ssers altittnl conserraisir," We know not-but it Is cer- tain that he was very much attached to it. We were once well acquainted with an aged printer, who had learned the business in the Royal office at yienna-and who had ire qacntIy seen the Emperor come into the office and set his siick-full.

We have read of mountains somewhere in South America, in ascending which the traveller passes through half a dozen eli mates. In Arkansas there is no occasion to ascend mountains in order to enjoy this variety in the shortest space of time. At this season We have. on an average, three climates day--the consequence of which is, couple of kinds of pleurisies--as many of agnes-and an infnitu'le of conglome- rates, enough in all conscience to puzzle even the doctors themselves. We do therefore rejoice most incontinently that there will be no French war-and conse- qrcnhy no rise in the price of Quinine and Peruvian Bark.

It will be seen by reference to the Con- gressional proceedings in this days paper, that an attempt was made in the Senate to fetard the admission of Arkansas into the Union, by shackling her with Michigan.

LEIGH, in a long letter to the Virginia Le- gislature, dated the 2d tlit. refuses either to vote as instructed or to give mp his seat at present.

A number of the members were absent, or declined voting. Mir. RtvEs has only three years i'd serve--as the term for which he was originally elected commenced on the 4tb of March, 1883. He afterwards resigned, ia consequence of instructions oil the Deposites question-and Mr. TYLER took his place. TYLER is now turned out, and RIvEs reinstated--all within the short space of year.

PROSPECTUS

FEVIIE great and growing rQsoarccs Of
Il Mississippi and the rapid increase Of
wealth, population and business, seem TO
demand ano'hcr Paper in this Ciry:
The POLITICAL character of this Paper will
be indicated Iy its title. 1t will advocate
the great principles Of Safe Rights and
State Remedies, and announce, from the .
wa'c h tower, every encroachmcntof tie
Federal Government on the rIgli'S .of tho
States and the liberties of he People BY
frequent recurrence Of the first principles,
and the doctrines taught by the Trainers of
the Constitution, il will endeavor to hnpart,
clear views of the federal compac', that the
people may be enabled TO mark, and prepnr-
ed to resist the advances of dcspotism and
corruption.
Tho peculiar Institutions Of the South
and the present crisis, require energy, in
intelligence and organization on the para Ot
the People. The wealth and luxury Ut
Rome only stimulated The rapacity and av-
arice of the Northern barharians. We must
not only, individually, become acquainted
with the rights aud interests Of the South,
but we must effect such \ union of feeling
such physical organization as will defy
the hold schemes of fanatrsm and alc
wiles oltrcachcrous dom1gogues; and trans
nit to postcritv our glorious institutions,
pure as VIC received them from the handsvf
our forufllhers.
Though thero arc times and CircumstaTl-
ccs when the law may be dispcnded with,
and summary punishment be resOrted Il,
vet VIC arc coiiginccd that Lynch law has
hCconc quite too common all over the
country. 1t hHs excited furious and sam
Culinary spirit. at war with civilizatioB and
injurious to tho prosperity and happiness OF
our common country. 1t thas in many cases
enabled individuals to wreak vengeance
for private griefs, at the expense Of tho
peace andor,ler ofthc community, and tha
life, probably, "f the innocent. The Sen;i-
mel will uphold the majesty of the laws;
believing That they ought only to be dis
pensed &i1Ain extreme cases, when public
liberty and life are threatened by the organ
lied bands Of conspiratOrs.
