0z-Some of Mr.. Owens friends are dispo-
sed to quarrel with us for charging him with
neglecting his district They say he has done
wonders for the district, that heretofore when
officers were to be selected our claims were en-
tirely overlooked by the General Government,
but Mr.. Owen has been so indefatigable in his
exertions that at last he has succeeded in divi-
ding the spoils with other sections, and they
tell US he has secured the lions share. Well,
we acknowledge the corn: He has secured the
lions share sure enough, and the people are ben
Gifted, We suppose.

Os~Robert Dale Owen has secured for his
brother David Dale Owen, the appointment of
Principal of the Northwestern Geological Sur
vey, which embraces the Northern part of Wis
consin and the new Territory of Minnesota, east
of the Mississippi. 1t is estimated that it will
take three years to complete the survey. DR..
Owens pay is eight dollars per day, or nearly
nine thousand dollars for the job. This is a
snug little sum, and is another evidence that
Robert is doing all he can for the family-dis-
trict we mean. The people are unreasonable
if they complain after this.

CCFlt is the intention of the Sons of Tenn
perance and Sabbath Schools of this city to GEL
citrate the approaching anniversary of our Ma
tional independence in a style worthy Of the
occasion. The celebration will come off on
Saturday, the Sd of July, and the arrangements
have been entrusted to joint committee ap-
pointed by the Sons of Temperance and Sab
bath Schools. The joint committee has selec-
ted fifteen Lady Managers to attend to receiving
and serving up the refreshments which may be
donated for the entertainment. The exercises
of the day will come off and the entertainment
will be served up at grove near the city. The
Lady Managers have authorized us to say that
the refreshments will be received at s o'clock on
the morning of the day at the following places,
namely: At the Episcopal School House, and
at the upper and lower Engine Houses, where
committees will be in attendance to receive and
forward the same to the grove Contributions
in the shape of provisions cooked and ready for
the table, will be thankfully received from the
friends of the Sabbath School and Temperance
organizations.
As the number Of persons in attendance will
be large it hoped that refreshments will be con-
tributed literally, as it is the wish of the joint
committee and the Lady Managers to be able
toinvite all to partake. Besides the Sons there
will be about seven or eight hundred juveniles
10 feed, and many of our citizens not connect
ed with the Sons of Temperance or Sabbath
Schools will join in the procession and celebra-
lion. Doubts have been suggested as to wheth.
er provisions enough can be collected in the
manner proposed to feed so great multitude
but those who have entertained or expressed such
doubts have not surely observed the bountifu
manner in which the Ladies Of Evansville have
heretofore provided for similar occasions. Gu
brethren (of the Sons) in the country will also
contribute, and we will venture the prediction
that none will be permitted to leave the grount
empty.

tute, is three thousand dollars per annum, or
uplvards-David Dale Owens pay as Princi-
pal of the new Geological Survey is nearly 5000
dollars per snnum-Richard Owens pay as
Captain in the Army is about one thousand one
hundred dollars per annum, and Mr.. Fauntle-
ry, Mr.. Owens brother-in-law, receives as Coast
Surveyor one thousand and five hundred dol
lars per annum, making between eight and
nine thousand dollars per annum distributed to
this family. ITO the rictors belong the spoils, .
is the doctrine of our opponents, but we don't
believe the party when they adopted that mot
to intended that one man or one family should
have ALL the plumber. Suppose that the pay Of
the soldier had been increased little and these
salaries cut down a triie, would there have
been anything unconstitutional in that? Mr..
Owen may think there would, but the people
those who do the fighting and the voting. won't
think so.

OS-The Princeton Clarion ofSaturday makes
several very stupendous attempts to explain
away Mr.. Owens vote against increasing the
pay of the poor soldier-the pith of all of which
is that Mr.. Owen could not find it in his heart
to be so unjust as to give the Volunteer $40 a
month while the Regular only received 81
Well, why did he not, with all the vast infiu-
ence he possessed over the party in power, just
get the word Irregular" inserted in the resolu-
ton, and thus increase the pay of both arms
of the service? Will you answer that Mister
Kurtz Or will you, in imitation ofyour candi-
date when the same question was put to him
by Judge Embree, stand mute?

The GREAT POISONING CAsE.-The Houston
CTeIas) Telegraph says, that Wilkinson, at
whose house, upon the occasion of the marriage
of his daughter, the bridal party was poisoned,
has confessed that he gave the arsenic to the
cook TO be mixed in the cake, and he eau
toned the bride and other members of the fam
ally not to eat the cake. He belonged to the
moderator party of Sabine, and he stated that
he took this opportunity to destroy as many re-
gulators as possible, to avenge himself for the
injuries they had inflicted upon him and his
friends He has made a fearful atonement for
this horrid crime; but we fear others may be
implicated, and the bloody feuds Of the regula.
tors aRd moderators may be renewed
The Telegraph has also heard report that
Wilkinson was overtaken in his flight by par
ty of the regulators and was hung by them.

that we shall have another severe hattie. A
gentleman who has travelled through the coun-

ascent, and for nearly three miles the road, with
high and rugged sides, is only sufficient to adj

turning it, and no mode of attack, except by a
direct movement, through the pass.

OFThe following is the reported result off
Court Of Inquiry into the conduct of Col Bowles,
qchom the BUansUilIG Journal has branded as a
chase coward, and does not possess magnanim-
ity enough to take it back OF to apologize for
thus slaEdering brave but inefficient officer.
We take the above from the Princeton Clar-
ion, after correcting its bad grammar; for which
courtesy, we only ask that the Editor will not
hereafter mar ours so horribly as he does in bis
last.
As for taking back our charge ofcowardice
against Bowles, or apologizing for thus calling
things by their right names, we couldn't think
of so much 'magnanimity' even if the Courtoi
Inquiry had been more lenient than they have
been in their findings. Nothing that the Court
of Inquiry could have done would have made
Bowles anything else than the coward Nature
left him, and we always thought him. Since
the decision of the Court every body, save the
Clarion man, has come over to our opinion in
regard to him, and it wouldn't look well for us
to change sides just now, even to join so res
pectable minority as Mr.. Kurtz composes.-
Upon due reflection we won't do it. -

ged at length slowly by and night came
on apace, but the band still kept the place
of their encampmen,. The fire was lit
up, near the camp, and the Indians, wear
led by their toll during The day, and their
watches during the night previous, gradu-
ally, one by one, their prisoners being
securely bound, sunk into heavy sleep,
But the captiyes, though oppressed with
fatigue, could not sleep 1t was a time
for bitter thoughts-a time to think on
the past. HARDWOOD did think; ay, of
her he loved. VIVA, his own fate was TO
be, he did not know. lie certainly could
not expect mercy from the rcvengelu
savage, nor would he ask it, His own
destiny he was prepared to meet with COM
posure; but the thought Of leaving her he
priced above all the earth beside, in the
hands Of a ruthless foe, was maddening.-
Was there no way 10 fly these evils and
rescue her from such fate? The idea
was electric;-he started, but the cords
with which he was be md, cut deeper his
lacerated arms, But carefully examining
them, where they passed around the tree,
to which he was secured, he observed
that they were somewhat worn by the fric-
ton Of its rough bark. The thought now
occurred to him, that in this manner he
could free himself Of his bonds. Proceed
ing carefully and patiently, he at length
succeeded i'll breaking the first, then tho
second finally the last, and he stood be-
fore the camp, free and unbound. The
clouds, that had been some time collec-
ting, had now arisen high in the west,
promising sufficient darkness TO facilitate
their escape The swarthy savages lay
around him, but were soundly seeing.--
He sna,ched a tomahawk that lay near
him, and gently stole TO the tent, where
he had seen Ella Morton was bound
The huge form Of the savage chief was
extended across the only passage, over
which ho was obliged TO pass. AS he
stepped over him, his foot grazed his
breast, which caused the chief to start
somewhat--the ready tomahawk Of Hart
wood, hung over his head, to strike the
deadly blow If required--but the Indian
sunk back in sleep again, and HARDWOOD
passed on, Ella knew her lover, as no
approached the spo, where she was tied,
and would have spoken; but he laid his
finger upon his lips, in token of silence.
HARDWOOD cut the bonds asunder, and mo-
toned her to follow him steathiy out Of
the tent,

cried stentonan voice from the rocks
above, as the tall commanding form of Hart
wood appeared, just visible in the faint
CLEAN of light that the decaying fire sent
up from below. All stood astounded and
eagerly gazed, molionless as if petriied,
then, recovering from their amazemenl,
many turned for fight; but bristling
row of rifles, ready to put their leaden
death into their ranks, met them III their
course. Never was surprise more COM
plete; beset in front and rear, and fully
hemmed in on every side. The loud
clash of arms, as the soldiers flung from
them their smuskets, drownded the loud
voice of their commander, as he attempted
their rally, and hundred Of the French
submitted as prisoners of war. Their
arms we're now secured, and themselves
placed under guard, hut soon were obIig-
ed to enter their own boats, which were
now brought for that purpose, and cross
the lake, below the enemy, in order to
take up their line Of march for the En-
gIish camp. This they did with no easy
grace, when they found how few their
capturers numbered Grea, haste was
necessary, lest Ike main body of the enc

wood stood alone upon the shore until the
last receding boat had faded from his Wis
ion upon the dark water, then turned up the
lake towards the hunters dwelling. He
had not proceeded far before the sharp re-
port of a rifle met his ear. There is mis-.

qulckened his pace.

The coiIing, kissing flames had almost
reached the spot where the father lay well
lerIng in his gore-were already running
along the dry-celIing over his head, and
wheeling around the sides of the room,
when his faithful dog, that had escaped the
The wrath of the Indians, leapng through
the smoke, that almost blinded the door,
howled and moaned around his master, &
licked his wounded head. Suddenly the
hunter groaned and moved, then, opening
his eyes, seemed to have consciousness
OF his situation. A sharp, acute pain now
caused him to place his hand upon his
head, where the rifle ball had grazed it,
laying bare the skull, with no other ser-
Gus effect than stunning him for while
Then, mastering all his strength, as
though life depended upon the result,
he slowly crcpt TO the door, through
which the dog had already passed, as if TO
assure that all was safe. lie next drew
himself TO the fountain that flowed near
by, and, bathing his head awhile in its
cooling flood, was soon enabled to stand
erect and walk. Turning towards his
home, which was now smoulderiDg
heap Of ruins, the though, of his daughter
now seemed TO return, together with
consciousness Of, the past.
oh! where is she1' he exclaimed, my
daughter! Oh! where! Can it be she has
persisted in the hames!--even that thought
would be comforting,-na nay! in the
polu,ing hands of the Indian chief. Oh!
kind Heaven, spare her, that may res
cue her from this savage monster Then let
thy avenging stroke fall on his guilty
head! ..-...
Almost frantic with despair, he rushed
towards the border Of tie lake, whittier
he had discovered signs of the enemy's
retreat, and there saw the traces o. their
canoes upon the sand, together with the
footsteps of the foe. The hunter, alone
even, would have seized upon one of the
boats, that the Rangers had moored by
the shore, few hours before, and gone
in pursuit, had not small bugle just at
tina, moment sounded, and the party of
HARDWOOD appeared upon the bank above.
They had escorted their prisoners towards
the camp, until they fell in with party
of English scouts, 10 whom they entrusted
their charge with information concerning
the position of the enemy, and then had
returned, according TO the direction Of
their leader. To them, the hunter told
his grevous tale, and his suspicion Of the
capture of HARDWOOD. Now, each eye
flashed fre-each Bosom heaved and
burned-each heart longed to be away in
pursuit, and have dagger at the breast
of the Zoe.
The sun had now been sometime risen
and motion could be plainly observed by
The Rangers, among the enemy. This
somewhat damped their ardor, 5u, draw
ng their boats into a small coye, so as 10
completely conceal them amid the flags.
he party took themselves TO the cave up
IN the hill, to wait the march of The army.
Soon, boat showed off from the shore,
by the encampment, and crossed over the
