s'Nay, this is quite matter of busness-one
in which am serving myself and you must take
this note, il is your first quarters salary. You
owe me no thanks I; il is quite a matter Of bust
mesquite. And let me see-this is Monday

hard-it is quite amatter OF business give you
fair notice. And now lunch is ready. You shall
take lunch with me, and then go home TO your
family. Come, Mr.. Blythe, walk this way,
lunch is ready.
A tear to the shame of Blythe's manhood, fell
glittering at Lord Wycherly's feet, but Blythe
could not utter a word neither could he have
tasted at the peers luxurious table for all the dia
monds that were ever dug up-ambrosia itself
would have choked him. What should he feast
on dainties abroad, whilst his wife and children
starved at home.
And home the Reverend Benjamin Blythe
went-home in Lord Wycherlys carrage-for
his limbs had all mutnied entered into a union,
made strike, formed conspiracy not TO work
for their master any longer and hard master
he must have been for two Of the finest horses in
the peers stud dashed him along, they went far
TOO slow for his impatient spirit.
But atlength his Joy was shared by that dear
little wife, and those dearest of children. All !!
world, thou has no pleasure abroad like loving
hearts at home!
Remember the rainbow another time, love-"
said the wife.
"Seven times day." replied the husband ''yea,
seventy times seven!"
"And while we live we will make the first of
April joyful anniversary" said the wife.
"Ay, TO the very last we see p replied the hus-
band. sand now let US celebrate the ffst.'
Meanwhile Lord Wychery finished his let
ter to Mr.. Winkler. As il has furnished rather
curious specimen ofepistolary correspondence,
we present it to our readers -
'sSir-" Feeling anxious to do all in my
power to oblige your friends, and being perfect
y satisfied thatyour abilities qualify you for even
superior appointment to that ofmy secretary,
write to assure you that shall have great
pleasure in seeing YOU
So far had Lord Wycherly written when he
had been interrupted by poor Blythe and his
scene, after which he had done no more than
wafer on Mr. Winkler's own note under the un-
finished lines, aid then read thus
u shall have great pleasure in seeing you

The Cincinnati Chronicle has been OK.
aiming the SIX returns of the Census, taker
at intervals of ten years each since the adop.
ton of tho Constitution. These calcu.
tons show some curious facts
l. The population of the United States increase,
exactly "a per cent. each ten years, and itich dou
DIES erery heenfy four years. This law is uniform
and permanent, that when applied to the population
OF Ivy, and brought down to the present time il pro
duces nearly the very result as shown BY the census
OF l9lO. And thus we may tell with great accuracy
what will be the census Of 1850. 1t will be neari
tpenty three millions
e But tho this is the aggregate result il is BY nc
means true OF each particular part of the country
for New England increases at the of Is per cent
each ten years while the North Western States in.
crease 100 per cent. in that period.
8. The Stare Population increased at 30 per cent.
but since at less than % per cent. The Free Pop
uaton have, however, increased at the rate of 80 pei
cent At this rate therefore the difference between
the free and slave population is constantly increasing
a. Another fact is, that the colorod population in
crease just in proportion to the distance south and
that slavery s certainly and rapidly decreasing in the
States bordering OH the free States
ms state OF things continued would in half cen
fury extngvlsh slavery in these States and concen
trate the whole black population of the Uuited States
on the Gulfof Mexico and the adjacent States ON the
Southern Atlantic.

GREAT BATTLE IN THE INDIAN
COUNTRY,

Large numbers Of Indians, nerroes and
mOngrels from Florida have been placed
upon the borders of Arkansas and Missour;
BY gentleman direct from Fort Leayen-
worth we learn that some 600 negroes from
Florida and runaways from the Choctaws
and Cherokces and from the whites, united
with few Indians and perhaps few white
men, have been gradually associated in the
Businesses west of Arkansas. Not long
since they marched high up Rcd River and
camped for the purpose Of hunting buffalo.
They built very tolerable Fort with logs,
surrounded with ditch, to protect them.
selves against all dangers. Thcy caught but
few buffalo and therefore to supply their
wants invaded the possessions of the Choc-
taws and carried of cattle, poultry, grain
&c. Tho Choctaws followed but finding
their numbers and Notifications an ovcrma,ch

upon the works and soon made the splintcrs

refugees at signal rushed outside of their
Notifications and began to form upon the
Prairie in front Of their works. Ere they

his gallant Dragons charged upon them at
full galiop. The carnage that ensued is rep
resented as terrifc-the Dragons routed
them in all directions, and after putting large
numbers 10 the sword, succeeded in captur-
ing the UhOie body! The conduct Of the
Dragons is represented as worthy of all
commentator as regards both skill and
bravery. The bravery and numbers of the
refugees ayailed absolutely nothing against
the irresistible charge ofthe mounted drag
oons.
This decisive blow will give security to
that exposed portion of our frontier and con-
vince the refugee negroes and Indians that
our Dragons may not be trifled with. The
loss OF the dragons was unknown to our in.

expected US to revive business, why do YOU
not let US adopt the measures we propose I
Why oppose every thing we dot If indeed
mere change Of men, without change of
measures, could bring relief, then there
must have been an abomnible set of men in
before, and there is every reason why they
should not DO pu. in again. You oppose the
extra session Of Congress. aud oppose every
thing done to alter y our system Of policy
You insist on our continuing that policy /;
though you admit something is wrong. Now
We ask is it reasonable to require us to fol-
low in your track, keep in your officers,
continue policy which has placed u, in a
condition OF uncNamplcd embarrassment in
