The EYcnrSinn.

About two hundred and fifty gentlemen, officers of
state and members of both Houses joined in the ex
cursion over the Central Railroad on Saturday. At
the mouth of White River the company very
handsomely greeted and treated by Mr. Campbell, the
well.known "hero of the Bridges" and hour was
pleasantly passed in examining the noble Bridges of
the Passumpsic and Northern Railroad Companies, at
that point, and in passing compliments with New
Hampshire neghbors. On returning, the Central
Bridge at Royalton was duly inspected, and after a
very handsome lun to Northfed perfect justice was
done to dinner at the Mortified House. literally
provided by Gov. Paine. Of the things said, sung
and done, we hope to give full account in day or
two. Suffice it to say now, that the excursion was
every way satisfactory Journal.

OF swearing the use of ardent spirits the disregard
Of the Christian Sabbath. They although in their
infancy as a company and vilage) determined to
have the stated preaching of the Gospel and have al
ready raised funds for that pupose and they are de-
srous that strong moral and religious influence
should run through the village in which their mill is
located While this is literally the case, Ithey would
repudiate the idea of attempting to control the reli-
gious opinions Of those in their employ, of birding
them within the narrow precincts of contracted and
llliberal sectarian views
The correspondent of the Freeman would have the
community understand that the mducement held out
to young ladies to 60 to that place. and for Christian
Parents TO permit them to go there because it is to be
under an influence and such regulations, is all
"hgh sounding pretension," "notabe expedient"-
and thus accuse the company Of practlcing deception
and fraud upon those they would employ, by deceivng
parents, and nduce them to sacrifice their daughters
to the worship and worshppers of mammon." All our
professions based upon the true position we
py and the religious aspect of which he speaks is also
literally true.
His attack is also directed toward the Agent, as an
instrument in the hands of the company 10 carry out
their fraud and deception and therefore him of
being equally culpable with the company. The above
grossly false impressions wish corrected.

summit cut of the Rutland railroad, Mount Holey,
discovered fossil tooth of great SIZE and in state
OF fine preservation 1t lay in muck pit, or feet
below the surface of the ground, which at that point
undcrlies the muck The tooth is about eight inches
long on its face and four or five broad, and weighs
seven or eight pounds. The color is a dark lead.
A few days subsequently, in the edge of the pit,
fossil horn was taken out, more than four feet long
and four feet in diameter The color is darker than
that of the TOOTH and both ends decayed and gone
The surface is hard and tough and feels like horn

A Sisters Dnty Aud Influence.

A sister This is one OF the most tender and
endearlng appeaons in our Language. and the
relationship some from which flow some of the
gentlest and most aflectonate sympathies which
soften and sweeten the intercourse of the family
circle. No ties Of consequently are more deli
cate or more powerful than those which proceed
from, and entwine themselves around the heart Of
lovely and afectionate sister. Tbe Nance
Brother and Sister, are enshrned in the al
fectlons Of every bosom, and can never be separ-
ated or forgotten. And all who bear these en-.
deared and endearing names, c.g,t to cherish
IN their hearts, and manifest in her conduct,
the corresponding affections.
Whatever be the cause of the de- re ;e very
often happens that the sisters o. fmilv are
more vrtuous, pious, amiabe, aud exemplary in
all respects, than the brothers. And no one can
fail OF observing and rejoicing in that benign and
powerful influence which many sisters exert over
their reckless and hayward brothers. Sometimes
the only earthly hope Of a young man is in the pe
NAL and plastic influence of an interesting and
ahectlonae sister. For her sake and under her in.
fluence, he will abstain from vices, which but for
that suspicious influence and regard would dis.
grace her and ruin himself; and will do things
for his own advantage, which, were it not for her
example, satisfaction, and gentle persuasions he
would never do, She can entertain him. and
make him happy at home, or induce him TO ac-
company her to the abode of yruous, salutary
and refined society, in default of which the gam.
bling room, the haunts Of mfamy, the abodes Of
proiIgacy, and the resorts of dissipation, would
be visited for recreation and indulgence. She
can gently and insensibly insil INTO his mind
the doctrines and precepts of religion; compel
aim to admire virtue and piety by lovely and
winning exempltlcaton Of their heavenly graces
in her own character, conversation and life and
she may prevail on him to accompany her to the
mouse of God, where he may hear the words of
eternal life when but for her, he would slide in
to nhdelity, learn to despise and $ fat religion,
and spend the lords day in idenns3, dissipation
and revelry.
This is not a mere picture of inn ir on unat-
alnable in experience. 1t has ofteo cen exem-
pIifed in real life and ought to b. familiar to
all. Many sisters are more than guardian angels
to their brothers, and will be ascertained to have
been such, in better world

He was Afraid.

1t is related of the Rev BEN. Wooster, late of
Fairfield, in this State, that among the destitute
places which he visited while missionary in this
State, was one called 'Whippe Hollow, place
between Pitstord and West Rutland He took
for his text on the occasion. the words, Forgive
US our debts as we forgive our debtors;" which
he explained in this wise: that if any one said
the Lords Prayer and felt hard or implacable
towards another, he prayed for his own danna-
ton. We must pray to God to treat us as we
treat others. GA woman who was present, went
home and when she came to lie down at night
she began as usual to say the Lord Prayer, but
omitted the words of my text. She dared not
pray that God would treat her as she did others.
And then she could not rest, because she had not
said the whole, So she passed sleepess night
In the morning she was in deep conviction, and
so continued till her hopeful conversion. 1t spread
among the people until about forty were con-
verted"

A Song for Autumn.
BY EDITH MAY.

Brighten the bird from the tasselled nine
Where he sings like hop IN a gloomy broast.
Tread down the blossoms that cling to The vino
WlDnow the blooms from the mountains crest
Let the balm. flower sleep where the small brooks
twine
And the golden-rod treasure the yellow sunshine.
Mufle the bells of the faint-Hpped waves;
Let the red leaves fall; let the brown iawn lean
Through the goldenfern; in the weedy caves
Let the snake coil up for his winter sleep.
Let the rngcd snake coil up wneGe the earth is
drcar,
Like grief that grows cold as he tcut grows
sere.
Pluck down the roinbow--~maka stoadfast the
throne
Of the star that was faint in the summer n,Obt.
Let the white daughters of wave and sun
Weep as they closter the pale, pale light
Let the mlst-wreaths brood DER the valley-bound
rs,
And the sky trail its mantle far over the hills,
Plumber the wrecks of the forest, and blind
The waters that picture its ruinous dome;
Wildly, 0, wildly, most sorowful wind!
Chant, like prophet of terror to come
Like Niobe stricken with infinite dread,
Leave the spirit of beauty alone with her dead.
Throne the white Naad that flleth her urn
AT the tount OF the sun; on the curtain Of night
PANT Wild Auroras, like visions that burn,
Rosy Auroras like dreams of delight
Mantle the earth, fold the robe on her breast.
" nile the sky, like seraph hangs over her rest.

Speculation in .NegrOeS.-The Cherokee Advocate

there has been controversy pending for some time
between the Snminoles and the United States, to
the right of the former to large number of negroes
of which they have been deprived and who have been
enjoying Governmental protection at Fort Gibson, un'
der the plea that they acquired their freedom by
rendering themselves as prisoners to the U. s. Army
during the Florida war This controversy we hear,
has been or is about to be, determined in favor OF the
Semnoes-whch will lead to the restoration of these
negroes to their owners. In anticipation OF this re-
suit. we understand that number of white men in the
Creek country have commenced buying up all the
negroes they can, and at greatly reduced prices, with
the expectation oil realizing large profits, by selling
them in the southern market"

IMPORTANT INDIAN TREATY- Toenty.t four millions

Of Indians aairs passed through this city last night,
having bought out all the right Of the Mnomnee In
dams in Wisconsin territory, by which the United
States have acquired the title t, 24000000 acres of
territory in Wisconsin, embracing land on the Fox
and Wisconsin rivers, and laid down in the recent
maps as parts Of Brown, Portage and Wisconsin
counties. 1t embraces Little and Big Bull Falls,
Whitney's Mills, &c.
The treaty is very fairone for both parties. The
Indians get about S300000 and, out of this speci
tic is set apart for manual labor school, gris
MILL backsmith's shop, and the support of miller for
fifteen years. The Indians remove themselves and
thus save those swindliug operations which are gone
into by contractors in their removal There are no
reservations for spectators. Thus the whole matter
is plain business transaction between the Indians
and the Government There are no reserves in the
matter to make trouble Chicago Dem.

Medill in making this treaty, the whole expense Of

FOURTH DISTRICT.
The Slave Trade,

Our readers can judge something OF the extent to
which the African slave trade is carried on, under the
d.g of the United States, by the following extract
from the report Of the British Consul of Rio Janoro,
submitted to Parliament at its session in 1847:
The departure of slaves from Rio Janero is CLASH
fed as tolows-Under the Brazilian flag, eleven;
Portuguese six American, fifteen; French five; Ham
bureuese, three in all, forty Arrivals under Brazil
ian flag four Portuguese, four; American, fifteen;
French, four Swedish, one; Hamburguese three in
all, twenty. seven. The acting Consul adds
These returns, however furnish criterion of the ex-
tent of the slave trade between this district and Ar-
ca great number Of vessels that sail for that coast
leave this harhor under cleaances for different Bra
lillian ports, and others depart from the various small
out ports in this neighhorhood while many of the YES
sells that land slaves along the coast report themselves
on arrival hee, coasters aud such is the protection
and assistance granted by all the Brazilian authorities
to slave trading transactions, that is impossible in
place so much requened by shipping from all parts
Of the world, to be OF all the proceedings con-
nected with this nefarious traffic
Since the British vessels Of war have ceased crus.
ing this coast all the energies Of the slave dealers
have been directed to Illustrate the plans of Her Mai
esys cruisers on the African coast: in which, to Judge
from the number of vessels that have landed full car
goes Of slaye5in this noighborhood they have been
very successful
This success may be mainly attributed TO the great
assistance and protection hat slave dealers have de-
rived from the use of the American flag, which has so
aided hGG, in organizing their plans OH the coast OF
Africa to facilitate in great measure, the embark
alton Of slaves, and the departure Of the vessels
And it is much to be feared that so long as the flag
Of the United States continues so entirely subsequent
to all sa4ohodng purposes it is at present. the sup

REMARKABLE ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE BYA SLAVE
On Tuesday, as the steamship Columbus was coming
up the Delaware river and when short distance a.
bove Newcastle Dell OIL removing the matches to get
the goods in the hold in readiness for delivery black
man was discovered, slowed away among the boxes
and bales He proved to be a slave named Moses,
the property Of Miss Mary Brown, wealthy lady Of
Charleston The ship Immediately put back to New
castle, where the fugitive was lodged in prison.
The regular sailing day of the Columbus was
Thursday, but she was delayed at Charleston until
Saturday, and her passage was prolonged beyond the
usual time by heavy sea. Just before her hour of
sailing on Thursday, box marked "E Mshaw, Phila-
dephia" was brought aboard and the freight paid on
it. TWAS put below near the hatchway. The runa
way slave incredible as II may seem, was tightly con-
fined in this box, the dimensions of which were two
feet in depth two feet four inches in width, and three
feet five inches in length.
He had loaf of bread and jug Of water in the
box with him, which would have been sufficient for
his sustenance from Charleston to Philadelphia had
the vessel not been delayed, The delay, however
drove him to extremtes. He bust ont of the box
in which it is astonishing how he could have had air
enough to breathe, cut his way through bale of cot
ton, and finding box in which there was nice lot
of wine and pound cake, sent by newly married
couple in Charleston to their friends in Philadelphia,
he RECALLED himself upon these Injuries. He next
found his way into box of pomgranates, and thus
managed to I've finely He was nearly dead though,
when taken ont. No inquiry has yet been made ut
