SIMPLICITY OF DREss.-Fema!e

if they would make good their title to
that name. should carefully avoid or.
naments, which properly belong to
Indian squaws and African princeSses.
These tinselries may serve to give
effect on the stage or on the ball room
floor, but in daily life there is no sub.
stitute for txe charm of simplicity. A
vulgar taste is not to be disguised by
gold or diamonds. The absence of a
true taste and refinement of delicacy,
cannot be compensated for by the
posse ssion Of the most prime ely for.
tune. Mind measures gold. but gold
cannot measure mind. Through the
dress a mind may be read, as through
the delicate issue of the le,tered page.
A modest woman will dress modestly.
A really refined and intellectual wo-
man will bear the marks Of careful
selection and taste.

SIR JOHN FnANKLrN.-The New

for the fate Of the bold searchers of
Franklin is more appropriate at the
present time, as all hope of Franklin
being found alive must be vain. 1t
says:
"Six or eight vessels have wintered
in some of the bays or inlets which
empty into Baflin's Bay, beyond the
point where the whale ships ever
venture. and it will be well if other
expeditions are not required TO re
cover some of them. The American
vessels. we fear, were not sufficiently
we'll appointed for the undertaking.
and we fear much for the safety OF
their crews. We know nothing on
earth which we should not rather
encounter than winter in the ice on
board small vessel, above latitude
70. II requires greater amount OF
courageous effort than to lead a
squadron on the bloodiest field of bat.
tie the earth ever saw, for that trial
would be quickly over, and there
might be excitement enough in the
contest to carry one through it fear
lessly.
II is probable that Franklin's ves-
sells. which have now been absent
more than six years. succeeded in the
first or second season, in reaching
some point Of the Arctic Sea. which
is seldom open, perhaps not oftener
than once In a generation. and here
frozen in, where they had all persisted
by cold or starvation. Not unlikely
the vessels and the bodies Of the men
may be found hereafter, and many
thrilIingly interesting memorials found
recorded in their journals by their
side, which the last of them no doubt
kept as long as life remained"

is supposed, will be reason for his withdrawal

State Convention show that the Union men have
elected eightythree members, and the State Rights

INDIAN TREATIES IN OREGON.

DR.. DART, the Superintendent of Indian Affairs
in Oregon, has, as we learn from late papers re-
ceived from that country, concluded Treaties of
purchase with ten tribes of Indians about the mouth
of the Columbia river, by which the title Of the
natives to about three million acres of land has
been cxtingushed for the sum of S9l 200, payable
in ten annual instalments Of money, -four groceries,
clothing, &c. The land thus acquired extends over
hundred miles on the Pacific coast and some sixty
miles up the Columbia river. A small reservation
was made b. the Clasops at Point Adams, con-
tanning some four or five square miles. The Kalh-
lamet band reserved two small islands in the Co
lumbia river, called Kathlamet and Woody.
DR.. DART was assisted in making these treaties
by Messrs. SPAULDINe and PARISH, Agents, and the
party were making arrangements at our latest dates

THE WAR IN CENTRAL AMERICA.

By accounts in the Mexican papers we learn
that hostilities have actually commenced between
SALVADOR and GUATEMALA. 1t appears that Gen.
CABRERA, at the head of 1900 men, invaded Saliva
dor, and encountered the Salvadorian army, 4,5OO
strong, under President Varasconcelos, at place
called San JosS. An engagement took place, in
which, according to the Guatemalean accounts,
Carrera was completely successful, routing the al
lied army, which lost 22S killed, $50 or 200 pri-
soners, 1000 muskets, and large amount of am
muntion, &c. Carrera's loss, according to these
reports was about fifty In the pursuit which fol-
lowed the Salvadorian army sustained still further
losses. Carrera has been appointed commander
in-chief Of the forces Of Guatemala, and medals
have been voted by the Congress to the soldiers
engaged in the battle of San Jose. AT the city OF
Guatemala 1000 persons were under arms. II APP
pears that after this brilliant victory, Carrera took
up position at the town Of Santa Anna /; but on
the approach OF Gen. Cabanas, he retired into the
Guatemalean territory. The reasons for this sin
guar movement are not known.
