COURSE OF LIFE.--Life bears us OH like
the stream Of a mighty river. Our boat at
first glides gently down the narrow channel,
through the playful murmurings Of the
little Brook and the windings of its grassy
border. The trees shed their blossoms over
our young heads the flowers on. the brink"
seem to offer themselves to our young hands
we are happy in hope, and we grasp eagerly
at the beauties around.us; but the streamhuT-
ries us on, and still our hands are empty.
| Our course in youth and manhood is along
a wilder and deep food, and'amid"objects more.
striking and magnificent We'aYe animated
by the moving picture OF enjoyment and in
dustry which passes before us; we are excited
by some short iiped-s,rccess, or depresseda and
rendered miserable by some equally short
lived disappointment. But our energy and
dependence are both in vain. The stream
bears us on, and our joys and our gsiefs alike
are left behind US. We may be shipwrecked,
but we cannot anchor; our voyage may be.
hastened, but it cannotbe delayed, whether
rough or smooth, the river hastens towards its
home, till the roaring of: the ocean is in our,
ears and the tossing Of his waves is beneath
Our heel, and the lands lessen fronl. our eyes,
and the foods are lifted up around lis, andthe
earth loses sight of us, and we take our last
leave of earth and its inhabitants, and of our
further voyage, there is no witness but the In
finite and Eternal
And do we still take SO much anxious
thought for the future days, when the days,
which are gone by have so strangely and uni
formly deceived us? Can we still SO set our
hearts on the creatures of God, when we find,
by sad experience, that the Greater only is,
permanent? Or shall We. not rather lay aside
everv weight and every sin which doth so cas-
ily beset us, and think Of ourselves hence
forth as wayfaring persons only, who have no
abiding inheritance bat in the hope ola better
world, would be worse than hopeless, if it

MORE.MURDERS BY THE INDIANS.
sHIIDEI IA Nil IIC

BY the steamer Hyperion Captain Churchill,
which arrived last evening we have received the
melancholy intelligence of the murder of three
more families by the Indians, since that of Mr..
McLane's noticed in yesterdays paper. The
name however, Of but one has been ascertained
by us, that of Mr., Lamb, about eight miles from
Blountstown, and within a few miles of a mill
tary post. They attacked his house on Friday
evening and shot him while endeavaring to
escape. There was in the house at the time of
the attack several other persons, two of whom
were severely wounded. After they had killed
and driven from their home, the family. they pill
LACED the house, and set on fire the dwelling, to-
gether with several outhouses.
The other families that were attacked, lived
in the neighborhood, several of whom were kill
ed, but we have not been able to learn their
names.
The Indians who committed these depredations
are said to number about fifty or sixty, and con-
ceal themselves in the hammocks between Apa-
lachicola river and Tallahassee until a favorable
opportunity offers for them to commit such like
deeds.
This forms the fourth family which has been
murdered in that vicinity since the 23d ultimo,
and it is time some steps were taken to prevent
them in future.
CoTToN.-Cotton has come down freely for the
last two days, previous to which there was none
Of Importance, owing to the low state of the
river. The sales of cotton, during the last week,
has amounted to several thousand bags; at prices

The river, during the first three days of the week,
was extremely low, but we are glad to learn has

ANOTHER FALsEHooD REFUTED.

The federal party love Office much, and the
plumber of the people is so sweet, that they re-
sort to every expedient to retain it. They SIAN
der Gen. Harrison without stint. Among those
fabrications on which they most rely, is that, as
Governor of the Territory of Indiana, he sane
toned law requiring property qualification
to entitle citizen to vote at elections. If this
had been true, it might have been justified on the
ground that he was a native of Virginia, and had
carried with him that fundamental principle Of
her constitution; but when this, like every other
charge against him, comes to be examined, it
proves that the reverse of the charge made
against him is true, and that, far from restrict
ing the right of suffrage, Gen. Harrison was for
enlarging it. The law which is cited to prove
that he was in favor of property qualification,
turns out to be law explanatory of the ordi-
nance OF Congress of May 18th, 1900, requiring
a freehold of fifty acres of land, &c., which ex-
tended the construction of that ordinance so as
to give the right of suffrage to those to whom
it would have been denied

Why is it that the Federal organs througho u'
the land are perpetually bawling out their lying
revilings against one of the bravest and truest
patriots that ever served his country long honest
" and we'll Have they nothing else TO write
about Where are the acts of Van Buren,
Where are the promised blessings of his admins
tration' Cannot they tell us what he has done
worthy of great Statesman And why are not
his deeds like those of the old hero of Tppecanoe,
engraved in lasting characters upon the hearts OF
his countrymen Where is. their old -boaled
Rosenante, the bank of the Il. s.; and their po-
litical hobby--their Sub-Treasury steed Is he
spawned and brollenwinded, THAI they can ride him
no longer bare-baclled into office over gulled
and deceived community? Why do they vainly
try to heap their blaekened falsehoods upon the
war-worn brow of Harrison-sinee he regards
them no more than the Eagle does the mists upon
the mountain Why endeavor to dim the laurels
of his fame in the tatarian dye of their malicious
envy he heeds it not, for bright sstlie beams of
the noon-day sun ara they, unclouded by one in
glorious act why dare they scrawl hkeidle
boys upon the COLOSSUS of his greatness where he
stands towering to the gaze of a grateful people ?
Dream they that thepu attempts of'their lie
connecting brains can ever destroy that mighty
fabric, which the light-nings of thousand ages
will leave unscathed.

slept for ages in the tomb of forgetfulness and

winding track into the temple of their Liberties,

ments, andNvhen Historians would compare them,

TRIAL OF GREEN.

The cross examination of Mr.. Dabney was
continued yesterday, without closing. We
think it probable it cannot be protracted much
beyond to-day Nothing new or important, we
believe, has been elected since the examina-
'tion in chief. As soon as the trial is over,
we hope to be able TO give all the material
points in the testimony. As much curiosity
has been manifested TO know Mr.. DIS account
of the beginning of the deficit, we will give
it as we understand it. The first over-check-
ing was permitted by another, then an officer
in the Bank When it came to his (Mr. D's)
knowledge, he consented to conceal the fact,
for the purpose ofscreening the officer, under
promise from Green to make good the def
cheney next day, or in some very short time.
That promise was not fulfilled; on the con-
trary, it was alleged that more money was
necessary 10 prevent exposure-and SO il
continued from time to time-bankruptcy and
consequent exposure being threatened as the
means of extorting larger sums-until the
deficit reached the present amount.-RicA
