The Mystic Three.

Three Furies are there-Fear, Remorsc and Hate
They vex with iron hands our mortal state;
Yet are they guardians Of heavenly gate.
Three graccs are our stars--Iifc, Beauty, Truth
Primeval sisters, bright in endless youth,
That cheer mans slavish toll with peace and truth.
Young Abel lies wreck in childless death,
Cain withers in his own envenomed breath,
Yet hopeful Eve is yearning still for Seth.
Tho rain that vets the summers joyous leaves,
The beam that dries them, and tne wind taI neaves;
Each spirit gives charm, and cachreceives.
Three dcstinics-are throned DER all supreme
Life, Death and Crowth--widc shapes Of cloud they
Yet rule the ages work, the moments dream. lseem
Three nations arc there in the world of old,
Who from their graves all earth's dominion hold
The Jew devout, wise Greek, and Roman bold.
Prose, Song and Cable are three modes Of speech,
The only ones on earth for all and each.
Sense, essensc, nonsense, as they can to teach.

Cur Indian Relations.

From the report of the Commissioner
Of Indian Affairs, we find that the semi
annual and per cnpita mode Of paying an
nuities is attended with the happiest ef-
fects. ,,
The law restricting by penalty the in
PRODUCTION of spirituous liquors into the
Indian country has been attended with
the most beneficial results, though the
evil exists TO frightful extent. Some
Of the scmi-civilized tribes" says the re-
port, "perceiving lis ruinous effects, and
approaching the anxiety Of the government
to put stop 10 it, have themselves, in a
most commendable spirit, passed severe
laws upon the subject, but it can never
effectualIy be checked until the States adj
joining tile Indian country, come forward
and cooperate in the general effort against
this unholy and iniquitcus traffic, by pas
sing stringent laws, restraining the evil
disposed among their citizens on the from
tier from engaging in it with the Indians.
If this were done, and authority were
given the department to punish the Indi-
ans themselves, in the manner recommen-
ded in the report Of the superintendent at
St. Louis, for their participation in it,this
moral pestilence would soon be driven
from the confines of the Indian country
which would soonbe followed by the dawr
Of a brighter day upon the condition and
destiny Of our colonized Indians.

The surveys have been almost entirely
completed in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Ar
kansas, Mississippi, and Alabama; and
they are rapidly drawing to a close in
Michigan, Missouri and Florida
There have been brought into market
during the past year, 9,459,74l acres
1t is estimated that about 9,ll3, 400 acres
will be proclaimed for sale during the
present year.
In ls47 the quantity Of land sold was
1921 1906 acres; and the amount of pur-
chase money was, So, 296, 4O4 0S. Dur
ing the first three quarters of 1913, the
quantity sold was AS, 240, and the pur-
chase money was S2,O3O,G6S. The whole
quantity disposed Of during these periods,
by sale and location of bounty land war-
rants, was s 1897 $50.
The whole number of Mexican War
warrants issued up to Nov. 30, ls4S, was
43,l7l. embracing 6,505,96O acres Of
land. The number Of regulars and vol
unteers entitled TO bounty lands is about
90,CC0 men. 1t results, therefore, that
&c, S26 warrants remain TO be issued.
The estimated receipts Of cash, on ac-
count of the sales of public lands, for the
fiscal year ending Both June, l949, are
stated at 50, 1874, 7CO; and of the fiscal year
ending 3O,h June, 1850, $2,407, 500.
Under the act of July IL, 1916, the
whole OF TIE reserved lands in the States
ofIllinois, Arkansas, Wisconsin, and Iowa,
supposed to contain mines of ''lend ore, ;"
have been offered for sale at public auc-
ton, and but very small proportions still
remaining uhsold have become subject TO
"private entry at the ordinary minimum of
81 25 per acre; and the leasing system
has been entirely abandoned, as unprofta-
bic to the government, and injuries 10 the
settlement and Improvement of the coun-
try.
The sales Of the mineral lands in the
Lake Superior district, in Michigan, and
in the Chippewa district in Wisconsin.
have fallen short of what had been antci-
pated. There have been sold S,4SO,SS
acres, amounting to $26, 242 81. It's re-
commended that the price of those lands
be reduced 10 the ordinary minimum price
OF 81 70 per acre.
The extension of the pre-emption priv.
ilcge is recommended, to all actual settlers
on public lands, whether surveyed or not
TO which the Indian title has been extin-
guished.
The ccssion of swamp lands to the States
in which they lie, is recommended; also a
like cession Of all public lands when the
quantity remaining in the State does nc,
exceed one million Of acres.
The question of the boundary between
Missouri and Iowa is still pending before
the Supreme Court; and in relationto those
between Arkansas and Louisiana, and be-
tween Georgia ard Florida no action has
yet been had by Congress.--Jour. Of

John C. Calhoun.

Less is probably known to the public Of
the personale of the great exponent of South
Carolina opinion, than of any other of our
eminent statesmen. A number Of facts in
reference to his personal habits, &c, have
recently been disclosed, which will prove
of interest TO our readers. Tue family of
the Senator consists of Mrs. Calhoun and
seven children. OF these, one son is a
planter in Alabama, the next captain in
the army at New Orleans-the eldest daugh
ter is in Europe, wife of our charge at Bel
GUM. Of the three scns at home, one is a
physician, the others are young men of 20
and IS. MFR. Calhoun has upon his table
everything of southern production, but is
himself spare eater. The view from his
house commands distant mountain ranges
40 and 90 miles away. His study is 90
feet south OF his mansion, and has but one
room and one door. His library is not
large, but choice, and most of the books
relate to the Union and her interests.
The key Of this building he keeps al.
ways under his immediate control when al
home. No one enters it but himself, I'M
, less he is there.
His house stands on the Seneca River
1000 feet above the level of the sea, ant
| 200 feet above the river. There are, per.
haps, 70 or so negroes on and about the
place. The largest part Of his negroes are
in Alabama, where he OWNS a large cottor
plantation, under the. management Of hi
eldest son. Mr.. Calhoun has peculiar
manner Of ditching, draining, and plant.
ing, of such utility that his ncighbors re.
gard it as model farm. His crops arr
represented as far before any other cult
vator in that region of country. His farm
is known as Fort Hill, from fort which
once stood there in the time Of the revo
lutonary war, Mr.. Calhoun's habits arr
very regular. He rises at 4 or 5 O'clock
exercises on horseback, or in long wall
over the farm for an hour; writes unit
breakfast, at 8, and, after breakfast, is busy
in his library until l or 2. On Friday
which IS mail day, he rides to the village
His newspapers, of which large number
are sent to him, are spread in the hall 70
the use of his visitors. He is very hos
pitable, is great lion even in the yer,
neighborhood of his own house and in al
the relations ofprivate life, is most est
mablc, upright and honorable man.

list, while in our city. He seemed always
to have great hatred to monarchy. He
will, perhaps, in his new position as load
cr, make some trouble and cause some
blood to flow; but the powerful armies OF
France, Austria, Spain and Naples, must
crush him, and he will die the death OF
what those powers consider a traitor de-
serves. He may be two smart, as we say
in common parlance, to be caught. If he
escapes, he will have no other refuge than
the United States, in which he most prob

Garihaldi.

II may not be uninteresting to our read
ers to know that Garibaldi, the leader of
the insurrectionists of Rome, once kept a
public house on Sixth street, between Plum
and Western Row, in this city. His house
was, for some time, one Of the stopping
places Of the celebrated Charles Hammond,
as editorials from bis pen will show, as
any man who has file, or who read his
paper, may see. He kept liquor, but his
eatablcs and familiar, yet gentlemanly con-
verse, formed the principal attractions for
Hammond. Many time, our old citi-
zens inform lis, did the veteran editor refer
to Garibaldi as the prince of good eating
and good company. From Garibaldi's in
dustry and good management in this city,
he made money; and when he left for TIA
ly, he remarked that his $4,000 cash.
that he had amassed would make him as
wealthy in Rome as Griffin Taylor and
others ofgreat wealth, Sc, were consid-
cred here. When he left our city, quite
a large meeting of respectable persons con-
gregated at his house, and the proceedings
of the meeting were published in the city
papers OF 1888. A grand supper was pre-
pared and partaken of, toasts drank, &c
sc. A friend of ours, from whom we OBJ
tain this information, remembers a remark
OF Garibaldi at the time. He said: "Befort
long there will be revolution in Europe
and wish to have a hand in It," By thu
foreign news it will have been observed
his name has figured largely in the ac.
counts from Rome. 1t will be seen by
yesterdays Geographic report, that, al
though the French had entered the "Eter'
nal City" Gribaldi has escaped with ter
thousand men.

What would the French people say
You would hear from all parts of France
Of the injustice OF such proceedings
They would be denounced as barbarian
IN the extreme. The French people
would call upon every Republican gov =
ernment to assist them IN repellng the
5arbarians of North America. But would
there not be perfect similarity between
the actions of the government of the
United States in sending that army to
Paris, and those OF the French govern
ment in sending her army to Rome?
Certainly there would. The one has
sent an army for the purpose of rem sta
ting Pope, and again reducing a nation
to abject slavery. The other would have
sent an army to reinstate king, and en-
slave nation.
From the late elections, which have
resulted in returning majority of true
Republicans to the national assembly,
and from the formidable Instructions in
Lyons and Paris, we may infer that the
invasion OF Rome is isapproved by the
people, and also that the present admin
lstration is becoming very unpopular.
