GEN. QUITMAN = THE CUBA EX

How some People will lie = The New

from some correspondents that Gov. Quit
man was atSavannah on the 2sth ult, pre-
pared to lead the much talked of Cuba ex-.

hoods some men spread in the east, the
west, thenoTth and the south, 10 create a
prejudice in the public mind against that
patriot and friend Of Southern rights. But
It is useless to complain OF this. II is but a

annah for twelve months. Upon this point
the man OF the Wing gets very keen and
says that i'if the Sentinel intends the above
paragraph 10 mean that Gov. Quitman was
not in Georgia, he is very much mistaken"
Now we would like 20 know ii .here is any
thing in The paragraph published in the
Sentinel that one way or another even hint
ed that Governor Quitman had not been in
Georgia. But the man Of the Wing says
that "Gov. Qui:man visited Georgia some
time in April last''-snd says that he sus
poets be was at Savannah, and probably ex-
tended his trip to South Carolina. Now
for the satisfaction of the Wing We can in
form its editor that Gou. Quitman was not
in Georgia or Carolina last April, or last
year.
He has not been in either Georgia or South
Carolina since 1s47, when he returned that
way from Mexico. And his statement that
he visited Georgia last April is not correct.
He adds that Gov. Quitman has right
to go where he pleasss, and people have a
right 10 speak of his whereabouts whenever
they please. Who ever disputed it. Rut
one thing we do dispute-that is, the right
of people to represent Gov. Qui!maH az

already understood each other perfectly.

II never tasted any," was the quiet reply
as the soft blue eyes fell upon the little

brow; then the idea tha. she was but iok-
ing crept through my brain, and l took
courage TO speak again. Have you seen
'Reveries Of Bachelor?" inquired in
blandest tones, again looking down upon
the fair face Of my partner, and into her
beautiful azure eyes. "Who!" she re-
piled anxiously-,hen seeming to catch
the last word Of my question, continued

encouragement to converse upon some.
thing besides nonsense, and to offer them
something more solid and instructive than
the idle fa,tery and senseless words they
relish so well--when they will take their
minds from the consideration Of dress and
fashion and style, and turn their current
into healthier channel; when, in short,
we feel that in them we can find recip-
rocai feeling upon subjects Of interest and
consequence to refined and elevated spir-
its-then will we throw away the diff
dence, the 'ssmall talk; the unmeaning
ila'tery, which their presence almost in
variably calls forth. MAURICE.

A Niece Of Black Hawk.


A correspondent of the New York
Baptist Register communicates TO that pa.
per the following interesting account Of a
niece Of Black Hawk, who was recently
visiting in that city: '@. .... -...-...-.
Las, Sunday evening at the Union
Church, after a valuable discourse, the first
OF series on The children Of the Bible
an Indian convert went up with the Pas
tor into the desk, and sung a missionary
hymn in her own language. She is the
niece of Black Hawk. Her modest gen
tleness, and her simple eoquence. touch
ed every heart as she recited her ex-
perience. There were few indeed in tha,
intelligent audience, who would surpass
her in the selection and swee.ened utter
ance Of her words, and still fewer who
could speak of nature in words SO beau,i-
full. .... .
when child" she, said, II enjoyed
the presence Of nature in the woods and in
the mountains; the heavens and the frozen
lakes were delight 10 me. But as grew
older everything around ne seemed to
change, and wherever went was sad;
when | looked upward, the bright sky
and the clouds made me sad and the moon
and stars by night. When spring came
with the voice of birds and streams, and
planted flowers in the desola,e wild, she
brought no Joy for me, and wept because
| knew no, God. - ,.sm,e .. ....-... ~.....
This Indian girl had gone into the for
.est<, an prayed before she knew of Jesus
and his gospel. She said she should like
to remember those prayers, but she had
forgotten them forever. In the provi-
dence Of God she came within the influ-
ence of missionary lady, by whose in
terests in her she learned English, and
was enabled to read the Bible experiencing
thorough conver,ion beyond all doubt.
The lamp, as she stood wearing blank
et, and her long, dark hair streaming
down her shoulders, shone in her face,
and revealed the solemn sincerity, and the
power of soul redeemed by grace, I'M
conscious of earthly ambitions, and serving
no impulse but those Of a truth in simplic-
ity. The genius Of Guido himself would
have found in the face of that regenerated
child of the woods model worthy Of his
pencil. s" "

Speaking Of the late burning Of the Rail-
road Depot in Springfield, the Republi-
can has the following new way Of clear
ing off the rubbish.
The ruins presented very decidedly
lively spectacle on Tuesday. Mr. Gray
in order to get the rubbish out Of the way,
gave word 10 the Irish population in the
morning, that they should have all the
wood they could get ont Of the way before
IL o'clock. The consequence was that a
large number were on the ground at once,
and a more busy set probably were never
seen at work anywhere. Hand sleds
wheel barrows, OK teams and horse teams
were brought into requisition, and those
who could not command those modes ol
conveyance used their shoulders. A,
night the ground was as clean as il it hae
been swept with besom OF fame, ant
many house had been insured with fne
until summer time.
