Moral Rearing of Land Reform
BY REV. HENRY WARD pEEcuER.

LAND MoNoPoLY.--Hitherto the majority of
mankind, who have titled the earth, have been
slaves or tenants. The soil has been owned by
kings and the military chiefs and mobiles, and by
them rented to landlords, and by these to still
smaller dealers, and by these again it has been
divided and sub-divided, until the majority who
have paid the rent, sustained by the sweat of
their brow, not only their own families but three
or four orders of society above them; while they
themselves, have been crushed beneath the
weight, and have lived on the borders of starva-
ton the sickness of week, and often single
day, rendering them paupers.
The same monopoly of the soil has sent ano-
Their large class of the community into manufac-
turing establishments, to work out their days in
ignorance and hopeless poverty; and another
to the army and navy, where honor and wealth
await the few, and ignorance and an early grave
the many. The consequence of excluding such
numbers from the position and the healthful cul-
tivation of the soil, has been ignorance, reckless
indifference, turbulence, and crime. Tortured
by their expressions, and unrestraned by moral
principle, they have been prepared for desperate
deeds Such state of society cannot be made
happy; the evil is radical, and can only be rem
edied by giving new direction to the physical,
moral, and intellectual energies OF men.
we mpDL as we'll DdIlQ Will HOu the trees OI
the forest, aud expect their expansion, or throw
upon them in stnted measure the light and rain
ofheaven, and expect their luxuriant growth, as
to cramp the human mind by unequal insttu-
tons, and expect the development of its resour-
ces as in happy state of society. Room for
action must be afforded, and light must be pour
ed upon the understanding, and motive pressed
upon the heart. But to accomplishing, the earth
must be owned by those who till it. This will
give action to industry, vigor to the body tone to
the mind, and by the attendant blessings of heav-
en-, religion to the heart From agriculture, slim
ulated by personal rights, will result commerce,
science, arts, liberty, and independence. The
attraction of gravity is the great principle of mo-
ton in the material world !; and the possession
of the earth in feesimple by the cultivatct is the
great principle OF action TO the moral world
Nearly all the political evils which have affict-
ed mankind have resulted from the unrighteous
monopoly of the earth; and the predicted reno
vation can never be accomplished, until this mo-
nopoly shall have passed away, and the earth is
extensively titled by the independent owners Of
the SOIL

Wonderful Discovery.


Another of Natures wonders has been brought
to light. The remains of one of those antedi-
luvlan monsters, known among naturalists as the
MaStoIon MdrinaS, or GREAT MAsToDoN, have
recently been discovered in this village, the d.
mansions of which, we are confident, exceed
even those ofthe far-famed Missouri Mastodon
On Tuesday last, while engaged in ditching
the large ravine or marsh on the East side of the
river, the railroad workmen struck upon two i'm
mense tusks, which at the time were supposed
to be petrifed wood, one of which unfortunately
was considerably cut and broken before being re-
moved. On digging further five teeth were
thrown out, corresponding in size with the
tusks, when it soon became known that these
were in reality the remains of some huge ami
NAL Some additional search was made yester-
day, and another tooth discovered The frag-
ments of the tusks and teeth were carefully pre-
served, and may now be seen at the Empire
House
These remains were found between three and
four feet below the surface OF the earth, and i'm
bedded upon strata of shell mari and gravel, the
upper or diluvial strata being principally peat bog
and in the immediate vicinity of innumerabe
springs of living water. The tusks are in an ad-
vanced stage of decomposition, being nearly of
the consistency of unburnt clay, while the teeth
are in much better state of preservation, the en-
amel of which still retains its natural appearance.
The point of one the tusks also still retains its
worn and polished surface.
One ofthe tusks, as preserved, measures 7ft.
inches in length, and 81 inches in circumfer-
ence, weighing 1o5 lbs; about inches of the
point of this tusk evidently broken off, so that it
musthave been at least 81 feetin length Three
of the teeth correspond with the ''ponted teeth"
ofthe Mastodon as described in BakeueUs Geoz-
ogr, and the other three are fiat crowned teeth,
or grinders. The largest tooth weighs Labs.
and measures over 90 inches in circumference.

The Foote and Benton difficulty.

The following, from Washington,gi sum-
mary of the report of Mr. Pearce, OH the difficult
ty between Mr.. Foote and Mr.. Benton:
sThe committee, narrating the whole affair,
pronounce it to have been most discredtabe TO
the Senate, and trace its origin to the violation
of that rule of order which forbids all personal-
ties in debate..-The committee are unanimous
in the opinion that " Mr. Foote is innocent of any
design to assassinate Mr.. Benton;" but they ac-
cuse him of having at various times during the
present session, without any sufficient provoca-
ton, INDUCED in personalities towards Mr.. Ben
ton the most offensive and insulting character
These were suffered, the committee say, by Mr.
Benton for a long time, with great forbearance
On the 26th of March, the insulting provocations
being renewed, Mr.. Benton manifested his re-
sentiment with great violence, and on the sue
ceeding day retorted Sin language equally per-
sonal, dsorderly, and abusive" They then re-
fer to the outrage of the 18th of April, but mas
much as no shot was fired, no blow struck, and
they can find no precedent, the committee for
bear to recommend any action to the Senate
They hope that the strong condemnation public
ly expressed will be a sufficient rebuke and a
warning not UNDECIDED in the FUTURE

Correspondence of the st. Louis Republican.
Fort LARAMIE July 1st 1850


Fort LARAMIE, July LIST, 1850.
For few days past the emigration has very
sensibly diminished but still the road is throng-
ed, and large crowd yet behind. Up to last
evening the number of names registered at this
place was 1912. The number of wagons g.
773. Making small allowance for those who
have not put down their names we shall have a.
bout 10000 for the number of those who have
passed this point
The leading trains passed here two months
since, and must now be in the vicinity of Sacra-
mento. Between that point and this, there is
one continuous line of gold diggers dragging its
slow length towards the Pacific. From the scar
city of provisions amongst many of the emf
grants, there can be but little doubt that the suf
fering will be frightful in the California noun
tains. Government should push forward from
California supplies to relieve those who started
on 1000 miles journey with provisions for
1900.
The sickness this season has been much more
fatal than it was last. A gentleman just from
the frontier, states that he counted no less than
six hundred and torty-fve new graves along side
the road. The troops are quite healthy, but ma
ny emigrants have been left here in dying state,
and consequently the mortality has been great.
Most of the sickness has been produced by in
attention to diet, want of proper clothing, and
drinking stagnant water.
An express just in from Fort Hall, with the
news that Col. Porter, with his squadron of Ri
files, has abandoned that place, and is on his way
to the Dalles. On the Goth of May he was on
the Snake river, 1856 miles from Fort Hail. Co
lionel LOOMS, Col. Hoffman, Major Carlton, Maj.
Thompson, Captain Wharton and Capt. Dyer
reached here ten days ago. They will leave
here on their return to the frontiers about the
10th inst.
We are in the midst of the rainy season, and
are favored daily with rain and hail storms that
would do credit to almost auy country.

washing made Easy.

The following pc for a washing fluid, has
been handed US by friend, who has fully tested
its qualities, and pronounces it the best in USE
But very little labor is necessary to do large
washing with this fluid, and it is said that cloth
after being soaked in the pure mixture, is in no
way rotted or injured. We hope our female
friends will try the recipe, and inform us of its
qualities still farther. If it proves as we have
reason to believe it will, much of the labor of
washing will be saved.-WiS. Tribune.
Washing Fluid.-One pint pure Alcohol, one
pint Spirits Turpentine, two ounces Ammonia,
one Gum Camphor.
Put the above in tight bottle--keep tight
shake before using.
Manner Of Using Three table spoonsfull of
the mixture to l pint of soap, or its equivalent
of bar-soap dissolved in water
For.5 gallons of water, this is enough. Put
clothes to soak in water to which yon have adj
ded the mixture, and soap. Let them soak 90
or 80 minutes. Bring them out and boil in pure
water, use no more soap.
Rinse them and hang them out, no rubbing
needed
N. B. Colored clothes put in the same wa
ter in which the white were soaked
As dollars amt plenty with those who do the
washing pfths world l offer this and vouch for
it, for the good of the poor.

and lava: little, compared to the mighty whole
which issues therefrom, can be converted to the
good of man. But even, as it is, let us not des-

noble and glorious ends-it is designed for no
less purpose than bringing about the regenera-
ton of the human species Although, as yet,
the press has been, for the most part, the unwl-
ling slave of error, and the instrument of kings,
priests, aristocrats, and imbeciles, in carving
out their irrational, ambitious, uncivilized, and
uncvizing designs-yet despair not, ye lovers
of truth, for it will ere long trample these min
ions, the imbeciles, under its now trammeled
feet! Even no,o it shows disposition to reroh,
Even noa0, Truth is TO be seen smiling in the
distance at its operations; while monarchs stand
and frown-priests scowl-aristocrats tremble
and imbecies are sent to the tomb of all the
Capulets Yes, monarchs frown, priests scowl,
and aristocrats trembe-for it no longer ercla-
Siuely obeys their internal mandates! Reader,
did you ever see printing press ?-That small
machine, ms gnifcant in itself, but mighty in its
results, is destined to be the grave of ignorance
the tomb of monarchy-the sepulchre of
piiests-the vault of aristocracy-the mausolc-
UNI of error The press is designed to mature
the mind of man--that mind which is at present
only in its infancy; it is designed to eradicate
error and to establish truth; is designed to de-
throne vice and folly, and to establish in their
stead virtue and wisdom
