tain Judges, Bank Officers and others,
in conspiracy to drive him from the
U. s. Senate. ! will, when | have lei
sure, respond TO this charge; and in the

tor, that in consequence of the base be-
trayal of the trust reposed in him by
the State OF Missouri, and his attempt
to carry the Democratic party of this
State into the Free Soil Ranks, have
been and am now making open ,oa'
upon him, Free Soilism, Abolitionism
and all similar iSmS and will continue
TO do so; and if he is not driven from

We understand Col. Benton is in
Fulton, where he will speak the present
week, when he designs going in the
northern part of this Congressional
District, TO see what Mr.. Green has

On the 5th inst, two Americans were
killed by the Apache Indians, at Los

command at Santa Fe. Maj. Beal wa:
at Taos, and Major Steen, who had beer
out on an expedition against the Indians

he received gun shot wound in The
leg, but it was not of very serious
character.
Mr.. Brown reports having learned OF
the route, from trains of returning
wagons that they passed the ruins o
Beni's Fort, which had been set on fir,
by the Cheyenne Indians, and totally
consumed Mr.. VIM Bent, who hat
charge of the Fort, is understood to have
gone upon winter trading expedition
among the Indians, leaving a few mel
to take care of the Fort. 1t was no
known what had become of them, bu

the impression was that they had no
been killed. ....... ..........

The grass was abundant and water
plenty. A very large number of emf
grants from Missouri, and the Southern
route by way of Fort Smith, had passed
through Santa Fe, and were getting

where gave evidence of a hostile dis.
position, and it will be difficult to re.

Americans.
In Santa Fe, there was a good deal

THE EAEIMER's DAUGHTER.

She may not, in the may dance,
With JewrlIed maidcns vie;
She may not smile on courtly swain
With soft. bewitching eye;
She cannot boast a form and mien
That lavish wealth has brought her;
But. all, she has much fairer charms
The farmers peerless daughter!
The rose aud lily on her cheek
Together love to dwell;
Her laughing blue eyes wreath around
The heart a witching spell;
Her smile is.bright as mornings glow
Upon the dewy plain,
And listening to her voice we dream
That spring has come again.
The tin,id fawn is not more wild,
Nor yet more gay and free;
The l'ly's cup Is not more pure
In all its purity
Or all the wild flowers in the wood,
Or by the crystal water,
There's none more pure or fair than she,
The farmers peerless daughter!
The naughty belle, whom all adore.
On downy pillow lies;
While forth upon the dewy lawn
The merry maiden HES:
And. with the lark's uprising song,
Her own clear voice is heard
Y- may not tell which sweetest sings.
The maiden or the bird
Then tell me not Of jewelled fair
The brightest jewel yet
Is the heart where virtue Gwells
And innocence is set;
The glow of health upon her cheek,
The gruce no rule hath taught her:
The fairest wreath that beauty iwines
Is for the farmers daughter.

THE SOUTHERN MAIL BAGS.

The Southern Slavery Calhoun locoio-
cos are again agitating the question Of q
violation Of the mails for the purpose Of
preventing the circulation OF papers and
documents opposed 10 the perpe.uaton
and extension Of slavery. The South
Carozinian takes up its advocacy. and
remarks: .-.- ~
"The Government, under the Constitu.
ton. we believe. has the entire control Of
the Posi- Office department, and also the
power to regulate what matter shall be
carried through the mail. In the absence
of legislative enactment, then--for VIC be-
lieve no law exists on the subject. Mr..
Calhoun's bill in 1886 having been lost at
its final reading in the Scna.e--we con-
ceive it to be the duty Of the Executive
a duty which he owes to the people Of the
South-that he should endeavor TO fill the
Post Office Department with men who will
not by virtue of their Office, aid in cir
culating these documents in the Southern
States where they are prohibited By lac.

TIE Peach Tfee.-A New York letter

the meeting of the Farmers Club Of the
American Institute. to-day, Mr.. Pell. one
of the mos; intelligent and successful of
our scientific farmers. besides reading an
able essay on general economy of the
farm, and its management. with regard
TO stock, manures, &c, stated the results
Of his experience in the culture of peach
trees. Contrary to the more common
usage, his practice was to apply the prun-
ing knife very freely to his peach trees
He gave them rich soils, and stimulated
their growth. but at the same time kept
them down by very close pruning. or. as
he termed it. excessive pruning" This
practice. he believed. incre ased the guam
tity Of fruit. preserved the health of the
tree. and prolonged its life. While 9TH
ers. who suffered their trees to grow with
out pruning. were losing them at five. six
or seven years old. he had them in good
bearing state thirty years old. His adj
vice was 10 prune the peach tree frequent
ly. He thought there was no danger OF
pruning it too much.
