From the Racine Advocate.

o. The subjecto of 'sassociation' seems
to be attracting considerable attention Of the
East. Influential men, who have made it
a business 10 reform the socialities Of the
world, are now giving this new Commune
ty system their attention, and we every
day hear Of some new society of this kind
being formed. This system as a preten
ded reformation Of the many evils that eX
isl in civilized life, is of undOubted impor-
lance, and is worthy no doubt Of al least
practical experiment. 1t may be unlike
the thousand new theories that have been
Invented to distract. rather than benefit
humanity, and should at last be oolee in
to with a proper understanding Of the ma
turc Of man, and the evils which it is IN
tended 10 rectlry. Lit should by expert
men, prove consistent with human nature
and c essential to our worldly condition. it
may have a wonderful benefit. 1t may
not be impossible that theword IS all wrong;
there are occasions at least, when every
one feels severely the many petty oblga-
tons which are imposed upon him by the
unnatural customs Of society, which perpot-
ualy tends TO disturb our social enioymcnts
Mans breast is cursed with passions that
are fostcred and strengthened if not entire
~ created by unnatural circumstances;
jealousy and envy are parents of a numcr-
Gus race of cares that prey upon our daily
comfort, and ever will until men become
wiser and better than they are even IN this
enlightened age.
SELF, is the governing priciple-the
polar star, that degrades and brutaizes
man.

aud our business men and mechanics, more
engaged and in better spirits than we have
seen them Cor many years. The number
of strangers at the public houses is greater
than we have noticed since 1886; and new
life and energy seems to be infused into
every branch Of business.
A number Of new Forwarding Houses
have been established here during the past
winter, and are now ready TO take advan-
tage Of the apring business. Our rorwar-
ding and commission me chants have bad
their agents in the Inferior Of Indiana and
Michigan, since the close OF navigation,
forming business arrangements; and from
their reports we are satisfied, that tue TEEN

rich products into our warehouses during
the coming season.
The cars have again commenced run

produce which has accumulated ia the viii

ROM THE INDIAN COUNTRY.

FKOM 1 1E lNl)iAN COU NIRI.
Information of very important charac-
ter has been received in this city from one
of the trading posts on the Missouri, occu-
pied by Ebbitts, Tavlor & Co., some 500
miles above the Council Bluffs, and about
90 miles above the Little Missouri, called
Fort George. The company ia question
is an Independent one, started two or three
years since, and has been, it is generally
understood, proftably managed. Differ
ence, however, arose between the mana
gers Of the concern in the Indian country;
and Mr.. CHARLES KELSEY, who was the
principal capitalist, undertook TO drive from
Fort George some portion Of the worthless
hangers on Of the ESTABLISHING nj, who, in the
then state of things, were hostile 10 him.
They left the company's quarters, but oc-
cupied building not far distant with a
view, PROBABLY Of fomenlng the troubles
which had arised in the Fort. Mr.. KELSEY
went to them, and warned them to leave
the territory. They refused 10 do so, and
accompanied the refusal with threats a.
gainst his life. which they had repeatedly
made use Of before that time. Mr.. KELSEY

He again went to them-repeated his or

killed two Of the party, anG wounded 9TH
ers.The name of the persons killed are Civ
en- to us as Marble, and job Bull-the lat
Ter probably nickname. The remainder
decamped. We suppose, from what we
can learn, that Mr.. Kelley was afterwards
compelled to flee from the Fort,-as be,
with others, reached Liberty, in this State.
after suffering almost incredible hardship,
Mr.. KELSEY has probably proceeded to n.
York, where he resides, by way Of the
Lakes.
We understand that Mr.. RoBERT w.
TAYLOR, formerly Of this civ, left Fort
George some twenty days before Mr.
KELSEY and his associates-hc taking the

heard of MIN. Fears are entertained that
he has lost his life hv exposure in the in
