From the st. Louis New Era.
COL. PRICES COMMAND.

Several Of the country papers are of
opinion that the truth shnuld not be told
abou, the manner in which Col. Price has
exercised his military authority in Santa
Fe. Very few Of them, except the Han
nibal Gazette, seem TO doubt the truth of
the mortifying reports from Santa Fe; and
we think, if they would reflect little
more upon the matter, they would also
come to the conclusion that the truth
should be published. What advantage is
there in concealing it, The reports, though
somewhat disgraceful 10 portion of the
troops, reflect chiefly upon the commanding
officer. Men of sense and information
know that soldiers collected in camp and
held there inactive, inevitably fall into the
worst habits that Incidence and sloth
create. unless the officers in command are
unremitting in their efforts to enforce
proper discipline among them. This is
true of any set of young men, collect
them from what section of the country or
condition of society you may; and it
grows chiefly out Of the neglect of COM
handing officers. If then, to this neglect.
there be superadded, on the part of these
officers, a disposition rather to promote
than to check license among their subordi-
mates, what can be expected, except what
is believed to be the truth of matters in
Santa Fee
We have asked what harm is done bv
publishing the facts as they are. We might
ask, if it is not important that they should
be known! 1t was from the beginning, at
the first rumor of Col. Prices appointment,
asserted that he was unfit for it. He was
not the real choice of his men-but was
forced upon them. He was a mere parti-
IAN place seeker, and as such got the place
he now holds and disgraces. The system
under which he was appointed is most vi
cious and reprehensible one. Proof of all
these assertions and predictions we now
have in abundance, and such proof ought
not to be hid from the public. The publ
cation can harm no one, except those who
have shown incompetency or unfaithful-
ness in the discharge of duty, and may
probably do much good by fixing public
attention on the necessity of reform. If
we wish to avoid the disgrace and injury
of maintaining mob under the name Of
volunteers. and TO save our young men
from contracting the worst vices of camp
we must not vince at the publication Of
such statements as have come from Santa
Fe.

A Boy Adopted bya IVot.-An officer of
rank in the Indian army writes from Feraz-
poor, that a male child, about seven years
of age, has recently been discovered by
some police in the den of wolf. He can
not speak and eats raw flesh. The boy Is
claimed by parties who say they lost HIM
four years ago, when he was three years
old, and it is supposed he had led a VOLTS

GOD SAVE THE PLOUGH.
BY MRS. SIGoURNEY.


See how the shining share
Marketh earth's bosom fair,
Growing her brow
Bread in its furrow springs.
Health and repose it brings,
Treasures unknown to kings
God save the plough.
Look-in the warriors blade,
While Ger the tented glade,
Hate brealbes its VOW
Wrath, its unsheathing wakes,
Love, at its lightning quakes,
Weeping and wo it makes
God save the plough.
Ships DER the wave may ride,
Storms wreck their hammered pride,
Waves whelm their brow
But the we'll loaded vain,
Garnering the golden grain,
Gladdened the household train,
God save the plough!
Who are the truly great?
Minions Of pomp and state,
Where the crowd bow.
Give us hard hands and free,
Cultures Of field and tree,
Best friends Of Liberty
God save the plough!

Affections, Female weaknesses, dc, dc. For the
above complaints this plaster has no equal. The
great celebrity which it has already acquired not

The sales throughout every city, town, and vii

A circumstance not surprising, when the vast

valuable preparation.
In Rheu,ndtism either acute or chronic the claims
of the Hebrew Plaster have long since been uni
versally acknowledged. Those who are luboring
under weak backs, no matter from what cause
the weakness may have originated, (even it such
person have been misguided in previous appi-

will find the affected part suddenly restored to its
original soundness.
As n supporter in cases of constitutional 'reak-
