BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS.

We quote, for the purpose of commencing,
the following remarks by "Observer" in the
Baltimore Clipper of this morning:
REV. JOHN A. CoLLINs.-This distinguished
divine of the Methodist Episcopal Church, under
circumstances of a peculiar character, has been
induced to accept an Office in the Indian Bureau
at Washington. From the important relations
which he has SO long sustained to his church,
and the efficient and distinguished ability with
which he discharged his ministerial duties, it is
not a matter of surprise that many of his
brethren in the Church. as well as his numerous
friends out of it, should regret the step he has
taken. Independent, however, of considerations
above alluded to, with which the public generally
are not acquainted, (but which, if known, would
be sufficient Justification there is another
namely, duties connected with his official rela-
tons, which opens to Christian minister q
vast field for the exercise of an influence which
will tell favorably not only on the present, but
on future generations.
He is chief Of that division of the bureau which
has charge of the civilization, education, moral
Improvement, and, in great measure, the
christianization of the aborigines of our coun-
try; and is there a Christian or philanthropist
who does not feel the liyeliest interest in seeing
these great objects effected, especially when we
reflect on the sacrifice which they have been
compelled to make, and for which lin COMPARE
son with us) we can never make an equivalent
remuneration. Are not their claims superior
to those who are in darkness in foreign lands
The rapid march Of civilization, and the un-
precedented increase of population, has driven
them from mountain to valley, until they have
now well-nigh reached our uttermost bounda-
ries; and the crisis has now arrived when ex-
termination seems inevitable, unless the benign
influence Of civilization, education, and religion
be exercised in tanning their savage nature, and
preparing them to assume and adopt our manners
and customs.
This latter alternative has been the great OBJ
ject of our Government in oil its dealings with
them for years and to great extent its benev-
olent designs have been carried out in many Of
the tribes yet much remains to be done; and
in the selection of an efficient agent to assist in
carrying out these great objects, the Govern
ment should be congratulated in securing the
services of gentleman of such talents, ability
and energy, as the Rev. Mr. Collins None can
doubt his efficiency, and that, in the multiplicity
of his engagements he will not lose sight of the
great cause to which he has been consecrated
or the interest of the church to which he is at
tached; but availing himself of every opportu-
nifty to do good, which his official relations may
suggest, will with energy and industry devote
himself to the great work to which he has been
assigned, till Providence in His own time shall
direct him again to grid on his armor to 60 forth
with renewed zeal on the watch-towers of the
church, then to bear undaunted the standard of
his Master. OBSERVER.

ANOTHER CUBAN EXPEDITION There seems
to be no doubt of the truth of the rumors that
another expedition for the independence of
Cuba is on foot among the restless spirits of our
southern States. The projectors of it have kept
it very quiet, SO that the extent of their pre-
parations and means cannot yet be ascertained
Apalachicola is talked of as the rendezvous,
but this is probablya mere blind, to divert
public notice from the true place of gathering
No leaders name is mentioned, but from the
mystery lately enshrouding the redoubtable
General Lopez, it is possible he may have o
hand in it; in which case he will again find
that he has "put his foot in it." The Cubans
have had warning of the movement and an ar
rival at Norfolk, from Matanzas, reports that
active preparations were making to resist the
inyaders.-PhiLd. Bulletin.

THE MURDER OF MIR. RUMpFs CHILD.

The murderer of the little boy in Baltimore
mas been found, and proves to be free colored
boy between twelve and thirteen years old.
The murdered child was only five and half.
we do not copy the narrative of this heartrend-
ing event. as it is faithfully given in the Balti-
more papers of this morning, for it is indeed
most painful to read it,
The boy fully confesses the crime. He had
taken the little child into the yard adjoining a
slaughter-house to play. He here accused him
Of secreting his top-cord, which the little fellow
denied; whereupon he struck him with o big
stone and cut his head. After this he made
him play with him again but again accusing
him of having secreted the cord, dragged him
into the slaughter-house, and beat him on the
head with large stone, and there left him, GO
ing home and washing the blood from his hands,
and keeping his own counsel During the night
the groans Of the child were heard in the neigh
borhood, but no one suspected where they came
from. On the following day he was found dead,
his manned and bruised hand lying upon his
head.
The negro boy is more than usually intelli-
gent for one Of his age, but has no relentings,
and exhibits an unconcerned demeanor He is,
however, monster, and has always been noted
for his violent passions.

CHEEHFULNEss OF SHAKsPEARE.-0ne more
royal trait properly belongs to the poet. /
mean his cheerfulness, without which no man
can be poet; for beauty is his aim. lie loves
virtue not for its obligation, but for its grace
he delights in the world, in man, in woman,
for the lovely light that sparkles from them.
Beauty, the spirit of joy and hiarity, he spreads
over the universe Epicurus relates that poetry
hath such charms that q lover might forsake
his mistress to partake of them. And the true
bards have been noted for their firm and cheer
full temper. Homer lies in sunshine; Chaucer
is glad and erect; and Saadi says, at was
rumored abroad that | was penitent; but what
had | to do with repentance2" Not less SOW
ereign and cheerful-much more sovereign and
cheerful-is the tone of Shakespeare His name
suggests joy and emancipation to the hearts Of
men. If he should appear in any company of
human souls, who could not march in his troop
He touches nothing that does not borrow health
and longevity from his festal style.

THE ABOLITION PRAYER.-The words of a
prayer, about three times as long as the Lords
Prayer, were reported by the New York Herald
as having been spoken en- tempore at the wharf
in Boston, between four and five o'clock on the
morning of Symmes embarkation, amidst all the
exciting incidents of the scene. 1t is also copied
extensively into other newspapers without credit
to the Herald. Now that paper deserves great
deal of credit for this prayer, for its reporter
gave very particular account of every thing
else that took place on the memorable occasion,
and could not have reported this PRAYER steno-
graphically nor phonographically, except by
holding candle with his left hand as he wrote
down the words with his right; but, as pious
minds are very retentive of such things, we NAV
suppose that he learned it by heart from the
single hearing However reported, the achieve
ment is very remarkable, and the good brethren
Of the press should give credit where it is due.

IMPROVEMENTS IN OCEAN STEAMsHIPs.-The
New York Courier and Enquirer publishes a COM
munication from Mr.. David Davidson, of that
city, in which some wonderful discoveries in
the art of propelling boats by steam are limited
at What they are is for the present kept Sc
cret by the parties who are interested, but the
results to be accomplished are disclosed in offers
made for the building of two vessels on the pro-
posed plan-one to run on the North River and
the other on the Ocean. 1t will be agreed with
responsible contractors to build the frst-named
steamers in such manner that it shall perform
the trip between New York and Albany in five
hours, and possess all the advantages of the
most substantial and elegantly built steamboat;
and similar agreement will be entered into for
the construction of an ocean steamer, within
eighteen months, which shall run at least one
hundred miles further in twenty-fou hours than
any vessel afoat or being built, and which shall
be unequalled for strength, capacity for freight
and passengers, safety, durability, economy of
construction, propulsion, &c.-PhR. American.

THE BASIS QUESTION IN VIRelNIA.--The great
question as to the basis Of representation in
Virginia, it is said, will probably be compro-
missed in the convention, at Richmond, by pro-
viding that the representation in the House be
on the white basis, and that in the Senate on
the mixed basis. The controversy has assumed
almost as strong sectional aspect as it did in
1929, when it threatened to divide the State by
q line drawn between eastern and western Vir-
ginia. Henry A. Wise is the earnest champion
of the achite basis, and Of free, equal, and uni
versal suffrage. Such reform he holds to be
necessary to the full development of the ener-
ges Of the people and the resources of the State.

SAILING OF THE BALTIc.-We learn from the
New York Herald of yesterday, that the U. s.

ship to Europe. On Monday afternoon there
were one hundred and seyenty-fve on the book,
which was fully expected to be increased two
hundred or more. Amongst those who had en-
gagged passage were the Hon. Ashbel Smith, of
Texas, and Benjamin 0. Johnson, delegate from

SHARP PRAcToE.-A map pedler, in pursu-
ance of his vocation, CHANGED to stop at the
principal hotel in one of the pleasantest of our
western State villages. A friend, whom he had
known in former years in Yankee-land, seeing
him at the hotel, invited him to a large party
which he was to give the same evening. The
Yankee came; and, when received by his host
at the door, was found with three maps in his
hand. "How-de-du ~" said he; "got any nails?
