The tribes of Eutaw Indians who live

one hundred warriors visited Sante Fe
to obtain from Governor Martinez res
titution, for depredations committed
last spring on their people BY trap
ping party Of Spaniards undes Portel-
ance in the neighborhood of the Salt
mountain. The six chiefs being in au-
dience with the Governor in his pal
ace, expressed themselves dissatisfied
with the presents offered to them and
the leader attempted to pull the Gov
crnor from his seat by the hair-where-
upon Martinez seizing his sabre kill
ed two Of them and the other four
were despatched by the gurard who
rushed in. The hundred warriors in
retreating to their village massacred
twelve Mexicans and brisk was be-
tween the two nations war anticipated.

Of ruins The columns and pillars which once
lifted on their sholders some mighty roof, now
press the Earth. Thsbes. with her hundred
gales has crumbled-her temples, her towers
and gates now form one common mass Of ru.
ms. Pile rises upon pile, moss grown and
grey with age. Where now is Tyre, the mis-
.ress of the ocean! 1.-THE days of her glory
are as if they had never BEEN" Where is all
her opulence and magnidcence where are her
fleets and armies and where her extensive
commerce. All have passed away with the
hand of time and she is now but the shadow
of her former greatness. Rome. the seven
hilled city-,he mistress Of the world-where
is she! where are her .riumphal arches, her
aqueducis. her towers, temples. palaces, her
royal gardens and her monumental statues!
" The Goth, the Christian, Time, War, Flood and
Fire,
Have deal, upon the seven killed Ciiy's pride-''
and all her glories have passed away. Where
there stood long years ago, thousand palaces,
now stand thousand marble hilloeks and
where stretched street, ,hronged with the
busy crowd, are now shapeless piles Of rufus.
But still the yellow Tiber rolls on in solitude
and silence. She changes not for thousands
of long years her yellow stream has laved the
confines Of this noble city, and watched her
rise, progress and decline. From the infant
city old Tiber has seen the mistress of the
world proceed-has seen voluptuousness and
effeminacy enter her sacred walls; her honor
furnished, her glory fade and finally, Rome a
mass of ruins. sk~
The cities Of Greece-wherc are they !.
where is Athens, the birth place of Literature
and the Arlsi where are her groves, palaces
and temples, her theatres, baths and ampiihe-
aires, her alters, porticos and s,a,ues' Old
Time has deal. upon the magnihcence of this
city. and now they lie, temple, bath and statue
in massive piles, the throne Of Ruin.
"None shall build them up:
Forever they will lie wasted and spoiled and des-
olate."
/" A dwelling place for beasts and monsters;
A desert where tho owl aud ostrich meet,
The lion walks in gloomy sovereignty"
These cities, pompous piles and magnih-
cent structures were the work of man: Insig.
nihcant as he appears, his arm reared TO their
stupendous heights the lofty walls and mas.
sive turre,s of Babylon.
Man took the rough marble from its earthly
bed, moulded i.in Perfec. form and reared tenn
pies to the Gods. But they are fallen. and
their mighty ruins teach him the solemn les
son, tina. time must conquer"
"That the loudest blast
That ever filled renown's obstreperous trump,
Fades in the lapse Of ages and expires.
Who lies inhumed in tina terrific gloom
or tho gigantic Pyramidi or who
Reared its huge walls! Oblivion laughs and says
The piey is mine. They sleep and never moro
Their names shall strike upon the ear Of man;
Their memory bnrst its letters"

but there is a report, which comes from
an authoritative source, that the Mes.

are always preaching to them about

This which follows is the extract from

ave would make you farther ac-

in Oroomiah, among those Americans
who are residing here. Quite quar-.
rel has taken place between the Bish-
op and people on one side, and the
Americans on the other, on account of
the improper proceedings of the latter
in the said town. This led to coun.
Gil ofthe Jealous and true shepherds,
with their rational sheep, and they clos

which the Americans had established
in Oroomiah. We moreover,haye writ
ten to them a letter, under our seal,
that the school should remain closed
and that the Americans should be sent
away from there"

FEMALE FRlENnsHiP.-Ih have heard
it said by many, that frindship is acold
feeling when compared to love. It
may be so with us men. but not, 1
think, with woman. Men love each
other on more selfish principles than
women do. The passions, the politics.
the mutual services Of men, make them
friends but women become such
from the pure impulse of their own
hearts, when neither passion nor oPih'
ion nor obligation knits the bond. IN
conformity with this, they delight more
than we do in the outward marks ana
signs of afcction-the symPathies o.
gentle words, kind looks, and aTde .n
expressions. whilst we demand 'ne
more essential proofs of friendship p"
merely in profession, but IN acts o',s ,.
Of the sternest character. A woman :
dclicacy and strength of feeling ie's
