has long shaded the family mansion.--
Hcnceforth the glare Of the world, with
its cares and vcissitudes, falls upon the
old widower's heart, and there is nothing

the full weight of misfortune. II is as il

wing of his angel was broken and every
movement that he made brought him to

troops always in movement; the drum
never ceases; at every public place you
may stumble OH a groupe Of soldiers,

as il it we C not so much city as

hardly more unfortunate IN this respect

THE AxlcAL MAGNETIC ENGINE.

A public exhibition Of the various en-

The engine consists Of line Of hell

the atmosphere, concentric to the inner
opening Of the helices. 10 the end of
this is attached the shackle-bar, commu-

Late and Interesting from SANTA M

Ldte anu interesting, from Cantu Cos
By very late intelligence, of.date Julylst,
from the capital of New Mexico, we learn
that a. body Of three hundred Camanche
warriors presented themselves, on the 9th
and 18th Of June, at the village OF Anton
Chico and La Cuesta, situated in the South
ern part Of the county of San Miguel. They
professed purposes entirely peaceful towards
the inhabitants OF New Mexico, and esps,
cially admiration forthe Americans. assgn-
ing as the reason of their visit that they
were on their way to make war upon the
Navajos, who live considerably West ofthe
Rio Grande, and about the parallel Of Santa
Fe. Notwithstanding these professions
they did not leave the villages above. named
without committing wanton depredationson
the inhabitants, killing stock for which tIey
had no use, and driving off others. No PER-
sonal injury, however, was inflicted on any
of the people, though some Of them WIRE
rudely treated.
Col. Alexander, commanding the Unied
States forces at Los Vegas, sent troops to Ihe
points mentioned, and Col. Munroe at hst
advices was busted in issuing orders desisn.
ed to chastise and repel the Indians, if THY
could be discovered.
The people of the lower portion. of !be
county of San Miguel were put in a state oi
great CONSERVATION by the unexpected lp.
pearance of these Camanches, and earnestly
called upon the Government and miliary
authorities for protection.
Further news from that quarter, .willbe
looked for with interest. Mat. Intel. Augi9.

on the Goth Of September next, and have
published a list ofpremilms for that occasion
which will be found in another part of to-

ticular attention Of the Farmers, Mechanics,
and Others of this county. The society is in
its infancy and needs the encouragement that
all new and worthy enterprises are entitled
to. Let every farmer and mechanic joir the
society and contribute towards its firm and
prosperous establishment, and the premiums
al the next annual Fair can be doubled. The
Society can offer larger premiums and ex-
tend the list of articles. This, will Justify
members in taking more pains with their
crops, the result Of which will be an increas.
ed yield from the farms. 1t will be an in

of horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, &C., and the
consequence will be that not only the far

eThe Chippewas,.

BIZ the treaty of Lapcint, in ls4s. the
Chippewa Indians sold their lands on Lake
Superior (the copper regicn) to the United
States. II is now insisted upon removing
them, four hundred in number, to Sandy
Lake, region destitute Of game, and where,
it's said they must perish. "Hole-in-the-
wall, one Of the chiefs, addresses an affect
ing letter to the Minnesota Democrat, at St.
Paul. Heallsges that the Indians were assu-
red in lS42 that the Government only want
ed the copper, and did not design removing
them for twenty years atleast, and probably
not at all. He urges also that the chiefs have
begged permission TO visit their Great Father,
the President, and that, although they offered
to pay their own expenses, the priyiledge
was refused. He appeals through the Demo
crat to the Government of the United Safes
and the symphthies of the people. These
people have been very badly treated. They
cannot subsist upon the lands allotted them,
and, if placed there, must organize band O.
thieves and marauders, or starve. The letter
of the Chief is full of simple and touching
eloquence.
