THE INDIANS AND OUR CouNTRYMEN.

The singular race OF human beings found in
America, at its discovery, presents us with a
theme of interesting reflection. We cannot re-
Ter to the borders of our country without some
sensation of dread, probably derived more from
the recollections of our early history and the
trials of the pioneers of freedom, than from anv
other causes. But be this as it nav the first
acts OF the white man were calculated TO pre-
judge the Indian mind against the practices of
his more civilized visitor. They did much to re-
tard the introduction of our manners, our arts, and
our religion, which is much to be regretted for
1t not only arrested the immediate good which
would of necessity have flown to the savage race,
but subjected the settler TO the repeated de-
predatlons which were committed upon the
homes of our fathers The cruelty of The Span
lard, will not be soon forgotten by the more
Southerly tribes and we much doubt whether the
great portion of revenge which enters into the in
gradients forming the Indian character, will ever
permit the recollection OF it to be entirely erased.
This course oftreamentis greatly to be regretted,
and if never introduced by the whites, they
would have been received with that hospitality
and kindness, which the Indian always extends
TO his guests.
II must be gratifying TO the American nation to
be able TO say, That it has been reserved for this
day, and for the men Of this generation TO show TO
the world that the American people are not neg
ligent in providing for the peace and comfort OF
the race, that has been POLITICALLY described as
being driven forward by the tides of civilization.
And we have made provision. True the tribes
are not civilized. Bat they are in the enjoyment
OF region strictly their own; where no white man
will dare TO invade With hostile intent without A

Sons OF TEMpERANCE.-The Grand Division
for this State met at Charlottesville on the 23d
instant, and adjourned, at an early hour, on the
morning of the 9th. We learn, that there were
more members in attendance upon this session
than have been in attendance at similar meetings
since the organization of the Order in the Slate
the members embracing representatives from all
sections of the Commonwealth and acted upon
questions Of great moment to the order, not on
~ III Virginia but to it generally. 1t NAV be
gratifying TO the advocates of the movement TO
learn the following facts, connected with the
growth Of this institution: There are only ttcelcc
counties in Virginia in which the order has not
been introduced the State has three hundred
and ninety-two Divisions, numbering upwards of
sixteen thousand members; Mr.. Smyth of
Wytheyille has been appointed as travelling
lecturer; there has been chartered this year one
hundred and twelve Divisions. We are gratifed
to learn, that two OIL ynchburg's most worthy and
active temperance advocates have been elevated
TO responsible stations in the Grand Division.

HE LYCEUM.--A Lecture was To nave Deeu ue
lvered before this Institution W Wednesday night,
by C. E. Lester, on the subject of American
steam Navigation to tile Shores of tue Medit ezra
ne an.
UNION orrHG ClrIEs.-The subject was the
special matter of debate at the Mechanics and
Workingmens Society Lecture meeting on Wed
nesday evening The President Mr.. Lay one
OF the Trustees oft4e village and also one Of the
Special Committee of the Board on the subject
was in the Chair Mr. Tobit to whom the affirm
alive had been assigned, not arriving, Mr. George
Thompson was requested to take that side which
he did supported by Mr. J. L. Boughton, lboth
members of the bar and on the negative Messrs.
Rutan and Taggart, and the Secretary of the So
ciety, On behalf of the proprety OF the Union 1t
was said that the citizens of WILLIAMSBURG and
Brooklyn are identified, in business and in fact,
with Newly ork, and that they already are but one
place that London, Paris, Rome, and many other
large cities Of the world are situated on both sides
of river that there are avast many carmen and
other persons licensed by New York who are now
compelled to reside in it, but who could, were the
whole united cross over the river at great accom-
mediation to themselves, and but little If any loss
TO New-York and fine comfortable homes, which
they cannot obtain in the lower part of the city
that the ferry facilities would be improved, and
the character and standing OF the whole, as the
City Of New-York, greatly benefited. Onthe neg
alive. it was contended that Williams )urgh IS ca
pable of selfgoyernment can adopt what is good
of the New. York system, and have a better chance
of beneficial government, as small place than II
appended to New-York and that little extra
cost should not be minded for the sake of good
government; that WILLIAMSBURG is rapidly and
solidly increasing, and that union is net neces'
sary, nor would it be beneficial &c.
The President, on putting the question for de-
cision stated that he was in favor Of the proiecr
Of union OF the cities, and that all the members
of the Committee who had expressed an opinion
were SO; that while it was desirable TO have our
government as close as possible at our doors, yet
the expense Of a separate city organization would
be very great, &c. The President made further
remarks
The question was decided by the meeting in
the afirmative-that is, in favor Of the union

CITY ITEMS.

MECHANICS INSTITUTE EXHIBTIoS-We have
recently seen sketch or design of the building
proposed to be erected on vacant lots in the upper
part Of the City for the t air and Mechanical Elk
hibition to be held by the Mechanics Institute
next year. The building is TO be circular-200
feet in diameter, and like the edidce for the
Wsrlds Fair in London, is to have an inner ele-
walton rising above the outer. This outer projec-
ton is to be, say 20 feet in width and to be d.
vided into compartments 70 feet by 20, all ra,
dating from the center and opening inwardly into
the main building, and lighted by window in
each from without. These compartments, about
fifty in number, are to be occupied by such differ
ent trades and mechanical occupations as are
novel and ingenious, all in actual operation Two
or more will accommodate the steam engine
which is to drive the machinery of such as re-
quire power; and one, atleast will be used as an
entrance to the building The space within the
main building, the area of circle Of say loo feet
diameter, will be used for the display OF manutac-
tured articles Of curious and excellent workman
ship except about 80 feet in the center, from
which Will rise an Enclosure extending above the
root OF the main building, with an upper story
lighted BY windows still above the roof of the main
building and divided into ROOMS for the accommo-
dation OF articles of finer and more costly work
nna1sbip, and the necessary offices end Commit.
teerooms The roofs are to be planked and GOV
cred with tarpaulin coated with preparation 80

within and rising above another.
This seems to be novel and most promising

many trades and occupations il the outer con
Partments viii be striking and fall & interest.
The cost Of the whole edifce, we learn from the
Builders estimates, is to be only $500. The
design IS TO construct the whole building with 50
little injury to the materials that il may after the
Exhibition, be taken down and disposed Of Tor

building could be Reconstructed aftorward for 9th

and prepared BY John |. Fisher, Esl. Chairman
OF the Fair Committee OF the Institute, and the
