AFFAIRS IN THE CHEROKEE NATIoN.-Accounts
from the Cherokee Nation to the 18th ultimo in
duce the belief that the late rumor of tremendous
excitement prevailing in that country which reach.
ed us through the Arkansas newspapers was greatly
magni6cd. The Tahlequah Advocate of the above
date does not indicate that there has been any new
outbreak between the Ridge and Ross parties. II
mentions, however, the murder of James Star and
Suel Rider, and the wounding Of two of the other
Stars, who are designated as notorious outlaws. II
also states that the National Council has passed a
law organizing Lighthouse company, whose duty
it is made to pursue and arrest all fugitives from
justice-the people being determined now to rid the
country of the heartless desperadoes who have in
the last few years perpetrated SO many acts o.
fendish atrocity on their unoffendng people.

THE PUBLIC LANDS.

Of this important public domain, the President
proposes TO reduce the price one dollar per acre,
and to graduate the price to lower rates upon such
portions as shall remain for any considerable time
unsold. We cannot perceive any effect likely to
flow from this measure, of sufficient consequence,
even that of convenience to the People, to counter
balance the certain reduction Of the sum of revenue
from that source which will certainly result from it.

offensive capabilities of the lesser navy four-fold.
Unless, for example, you succeed in betting the
island round with circle of steam frigates, and
scarcely even then, you can never hope again, by
means OF your navy alone, to prevent invasion.
"We may take it for granted that, when war
with France does come, it will come suddenly
that the of it will be sought for and found
not by US. but by our neighbors that they will
make all the necessary preparations for it long ere
the evil day arrives, and strike home, or endeavor to

comparatively defenceless."
France is represented as already prepared for
war. She is said to have standing army of three
hundred thousand men at home, independently oil
the eighty thousand now in Algeria. All these are
said to be available for the purposes Of offensive
warfare, because all her domestic necessities are
amply provided for by the Civic and National
Guard.
The whole standing army Of England is said not
to exceed one hundred and thirty thousand men
and of these il is stated that something more than
two-thirds are scattered through the colonies. The
entire force available for home service may be est
mated at fifty thousand, Of whom twenty-five thou

EVENING.

IT'S sweet, when summer suns are DER
And twllight's round us stealing
With noiseless footsteps on the shore,
Gives birth to holy feeling,
To wander by the calm blue sea,
And muse upon eternity
There's music in the solitude,
Of sea and shore at even,
When thoughts of other days intrude,
Like dying strains from Heaven,
But distance mellowed as they roll
In whispered freshness DER the soul.
The sweets that were, are sweeter then
With fancy's hues around them,
That at the very moment when
All bright and real we found them
As fairy scenes through mists appear,
Observation-Disclosures all was clear.
The calm that robes immensely,
With beautiful emotion,
The wide expanse Of starry sky,
The still, small voice of ocean,
Proclaim in accents sweet and clear,
Mercy and love--the Lord is here
When surges lash the sounding shore,
And gloom sits darkly scowling
On sea and sky; amid the roar
OF winds and waters bowling,
We own the rider Of the storm,
But tremble at his awful form.
But when the sun has sunk to rest,
In smiling peace descending,
While gold and roseate blush the west
With tints divinely blending;
Then stand alone and mark the close,
The dawn of night, the days rep Ose.
At first single star is seen,
Trembling as if forbidden,
Till thicker darkness intervene
The lesser lights are hidden;
But quickly Frightening on the eye,
Ten thousand thousand throng the sky.
Below Is peace-the sky above
The spirit calm as even
The breath.of piety and love
Ascending up to Heaven
The God Of Peace accepts the prayer,
And peace proclaims 1t answered there.
