A GOOD 'UN.- The Pittsburgh Dis
patch tells some good jokes on n OF its
friends who is styled the "Doctor." One OF
them is as follows:
1.-THE Doctor had also a way of claiming
every body, who was at all distinguished,
as a cousin, uncle, or other relative of him
self. One day Jim asked him whether he
knew one Joseph M-of-county, Mo?
OF course the Doctor s'diLn't know any
body else" jim mentioned his occupation
described his personal appearance, spoke
OF his wealth; all agreed with the doctors
Iviews-it was his "ownu acle, by his moth
er's side" be said. "I'm sorry 1--we bad
news for you, Doc" said jim delibera.e!,
drawing from his pocket a St. Louis "a
per, and reading an advertisement Of the
Sheriff of-county, Mo-, offering $3.50 re-
ward for the arrest Of Joseph M--,sEr-
|ger, who had escspedfrom custody. Tnrre
was no getting out of the scrape, and the
Doctor again "stood treat all round"

THE RAINBOW.

BY AMELIA
The green earth was moist with the late fallen
showers,
The breeze fluttered down and blew open the
flowers,
While a single white cloud to its heaven Of rest,
On the white wings Of peace foated of in the
West.
AZ threw back my srssses to catch the cool
breeze
That scattered the rain-drop and s~prinlled the
seas,
Far up in the blue sky a fair rainbow unroiled
ATS soft-tinted pinions Of purple and gold.
Twas born in a moment, yet quick at its birth.
1t had stretched to the utmost part of the earth
ana lair as an angel, it floated as free,
With a wing OH the earth and a wing on the sea.
How calm was the ocean, how gentle it, swell,
Llkea wonan's soft bosom it rose and it fell,
While its light, sparkling waves stealing laugh
ingly Ger,
When they saw the fair rainbow, knelt down on
the shore.
No sweet hymns ascended no murmur of PRAYER,
Yet / feel that the spirit of worship was there,
And bent my young head in devotion and love,
Meath the form Of the angel that ffoated above.
How wide wa, the sweep Of its beautiful wings !
How boundless its circlei how radiant its rings {!
III look'd on the sky 'twas suspended in air,
III look'd Oh the ocean, the rainbow was there,
Thus fOming a girdle as brilliant end whole,
As the thought Of the rainbow that circled NV
soul;
Like the wing of the Deity, calmly unfurled,
1t bent from the cloud and encircled the world.
There are moments, I think, when the spirit
receives
Whole roiumes of thoughts on It's unwritten
leaves;
When the folds Of heart in a moment uncIose.
Like the innermost leaves from the heart of al
find thus when the rainbow had passed from the
sky, !
The thoughts it awOke were to deep to pass
by;
It left my fill soul, like the wing OF a doce,

n.tisn, Of further indeesion and uncertainty, dis
,rstful Of renewed excitement, and eager to plant
our feet at last on sure and stable ground-we, like
our fellow citizens all over the land, In view Of the
coming vote on the resolution of the House, LOOK
TO THE SENATE; and we look with confidence
for the END.
We profess ourselves to be, what we feel to be,
the friends Of honorable peace. We do not believe
that it is committed by the House resolution. On the
contrary, we believe il to be the form Of carrying
out the notice, the best calculated TO preserve the
peace.
If the notice be sanctioned by the will Of the
Senate, it has been by the vote Of the House, and
then throw the Executive upon its high constitutional
responsibility, Of conducting foreign negotiations,
why manacle the Executive in the initiative step,
as General Houston said to-day The President
can do nothing at last without the consent of the
Senate, as his constitutional advisers in case Of any
important proposition being made; and certainly
be cannot bind his country fortunately for him,
and fortunately for thsm) by any treaty he can
make, without the consent Of two.thirds Of thai
body. This is his position to them,
and this is his position TO the country.

We find in the New Orleans papers of the 9Th IN

the steamship Alabama. The Alabama left Gal

the 30th ult., having on board Mr. Slidell and Mr..
Parrott, the secretary Of legation. These gentlemen
were at transferred from the Mississippi to the
Alabama, and the Mississippi proceeded to Pensa.
cola.
The army OF occupation, numbering some 5,oOo
men, encamped on the 18th ult opposite Maan,o-
ras. The enemy, who were reported as in readiness
to oppose his march, had disappeared as he
advanced. At the Little Colorado, party OF
about $50 Mexicans threatened to FIRE upon the
American army lift attempted to cross the stream;
but they of course Immediately dispersed. Anoth,
er division OF the army, under Col. Twiggs, arrived
at point Isabel on the Oath ult. The transports
from Arkansas arrived at the same time. The cap
tain of the port Rodriguez, seeing the approach OF
the vessels set fire to the custom. house and some
other buildings, and fed with precipitation. Near
point Isabel, proclamation was received from Gen
Meja, expressed in the style of gasconade usual
with the Mexicsns.
The war spirit did not appear strong in Mexico.
General Almonte had been appointed minister to
England, but seemed unwilling to take his depar-

mentioned as the cause of his hesitation. We shall

CHEROKEE AFFAIRS.

The difficulties 80 long existing among the Cher
okee people, produced by the operation Of the urea
ty of 1885, arc about being finally, and we trust,
satisfactorily adjusted. A message was sent to
both houses Of Congress, by the President OF the
United States, on Monday, giving his views and
opinions fully and nnequivocally upon the subject,
and prescribing remedy for the wrongs complained
Of by the several parties. The message Is aeeomPa.
MED by report exhibiting much research and abb
ity, from the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs, (Col
Medill,) communicated to the President by the Sec.
rotary Of War, who had given it his approval. The
message, reports, and accompanying memorials and
other documents, presented by the several Chsrokss
parties in support Of their claims have been ordered
TO be printed in both houses.
We trust, in a day or two, TO be able TO find room
in our columns for the message and commissioners
report. The latter goes into history the origin
character, and downfall of the old Cherokee nation
west OF the Mississippi, now called the "old settler"
party. Il traces the progress Of this nation from It's
6rst inception to the period Of its overthrow with
great cesmess and precision; and, in an able mas
tshy, and fearless manner, shows the title OF the
western Cherokees, as conferred by the treaty Of
1928, and confirmed by the treaty Of 1888, TO re-
main unimpared by any subsequent act Of the gov
eminent Of the United States or the Chero-
KEGS. The commissioner then proposes, inasmuch
as the eastern Cherokees settled in the country
under the provisions Of the treaty OF 1885, that tie
lands shall be diyided-the cold settlers" and their
friends who desire to join them, to form one nation,
and retain sufficient quantity for their subsistence,
and renquish the residue Of the country for the use
of the Ross nstou for the payment Of which to the
old settlers" an appropriation is asked Of Congress.
Il is also proposed that the annues and pc rmansn1
funds Of the nation shall be divided between the
parties, which will efsctuay restore their condition
in this respect its existence anterior to the treaty
Of 1885, by which treaty the Old settlers" accord
ing to the evidence nov adduced, were illegally and
forcibly dispossessed Of their country.

We are indebted to Mr.. Hobbs Johns, of Pt,sy-

of his best manufactured chewing tobacco. We are
no chewers Of the "Indan weed" ourselves, but we

to be a capital article.
