 The Judge Advocate was directed to read t,he extracts from the letters alluded to, and linen record them. They go to show that as early as January, 1885, nearly one year be. fore the commission of hostilities, General Clfhch apprised the Secretary of War that from an intimate knowledge of their charac- fer and declaration of their intentions, the Sarninoles would have to be removed BY roRcR. This opinion was expressed over and over. again and again reiterated in the same communication, so tha: the necessity of im- noediate action should not, COULD not be, un- iNen4ionally overlooked. Their reading mroAuced extraordinary excitement in the Court. as we'll as did the manner and matter of the brave and distinguished Clinch. In losing him, the army has lost one of its very best, most efficient and most loved chiefs.
 The Western Monitor, published in Mis- souri, has the following charge against Amos Kendall:- Caruthers, Kinkle & Co.,, large stock company in the transportation of the mall, have recently received an ertra allowance oi $36,OOO! The fact is said to be indisputable that the amount has been equally divided with Amos Kendall, post master general, anc used jointly in the purchase of public lands It is also said that Amos has recently recelv ed present of $2OOO in bank stock, and splendid family carriage, in consideration o other ertrGs from certain favorite contractors It is thus the officers of government openly take the money of the people under the GOV CT of Jacksonism.
 Wesipord Ho!--In these gloriously hare times, the eyes of all arc turned towards the West, as though in that quarter reigned plen ty and prosperity. It is an Ell Dorado ir the imagination of many, where wealth is t. be obtained without labor. Our young mel bend their steps thitherwards, full of hope.- Fortune is before them,-and they gladly leave the bleak hills of New England, wher n man is obliged to earn his living, for tha happy climate, where they have but to pu forth their hands to secure an abundance But little harm would be done, did the grea magnet-the West, draw to it only our idle inactive young men. It would be blesse thing for many, who are lounging about tn streets of our cities, rusting with idleness, they should take up their march for the va ley-for wiiie: there, they would have to wor or starve. But when we sec our hardy sul stantial farmers, with their imaginations a on fire, selling their stock-disposing of the finely cultivated farms, and turning from
 knh Ia in m ny known and untrodden path sudden riches W sigh over the fallacy of their hopes.
 Many are the farms that have thus bee left behind-many the homesteads thus de serted; and we fear many and many will the sighs, as, after while, the poor emigran casts lingering thought on the home he ha left. and the quiet happy life he there enjoy ed. We have seen number of statement made by those who have gone to the Yves and they all express regret that they le New England. Hardly one is there who
 not disappointed in his expectations; an they all speak of their "father land" in tern of unqualified praise, and advise those WI are about to throw themselves into the curre which is sweeping through our land toward the setting of the sun, to hold back and r' main in the land of their birth.-Portlander
