WILD CAT, THE SEMINOLE CH1Er-
We see that reward Of teu thousand
dollars has been offered by the Seminole
agent for the apprehension of some
hundred and fly or two hundred slaves
who have been taken from the Creek
and Seminole nations by the celebrated
Wild Cat. The section in which the
Seminoles have been located does not
seem to present proper FIELD for his en-
terprising genius. Having SURVEYED
the country as far as Mexico, he found
no eligible field until he passed over
into the territories of that Republic
He found the people unwarlike and sui.
ferng under the terrible depredasions
OF the Camanches. He offered to pro-
tect them from the incursions Of the
Camanches and Apaches on condition
OF having portion Of theig territory al
lotted to him and his followers, for a
residence. This proposition was readi.
y accepted by the provincial authorities,
though it has met the disapproval of the
Supreme Government of Mexico
Wild Cat has now returned, to lead a
large portion of his nation to these new
settlements. Should Wild Cat return,
the prospect Of a similar state ofthings
on his frontier would be to him irresisti-
bic. The advantage of position with
in the limits of Mexico, to which he
might retreat without fear of pursuit,
and the ease and facility with which he
could execute his predatory incursions
across our prairies have been properly
appreciated by him.

A proposition has been made 10
convert the frigate Constitution
"Old lronsides"-as the sailors call
her-into a receiving ship at Boston.
We sincerely hope the dissertation
will not be permitted. What, turn
that glorious lrigate, whose flag has
"braved the battle and the breeze"
for more than half century; whose
quarterback has been trod by PrebIe,
Hull and Stewart in moments OF
victory; whose planks are yet STAIN
ed with the blood Of the brave tars
who died at her batteries; turn her
into an ignobIe receiving shipi-
Neverl There is as little occasion
for the PROCLAMATION, as patriotism in
the suggestion. The Constitution
was thoroughly repainted, only two
years ago, and is good for another
half century; moreover she is one of
the fastest ships in the navy. Let US
keep her as a talisman Of victory,
the glorious old frigate that has never
been beaten. What a thrill Of proud
associations her name awakensI

Oh tell me not l am beloved,
Alas, it was dream
That shed across my spirits light
Its bright yet withering CLEAN.
You do not know-you cannot feel
How deep the wounds your ligh
words make
Wounds which. once given, nought cal

b Grease my anguished bosom ache.
Oh bid me not to quell the love
That rushes through my veins,
But bid the lutte send forth no more
Its sweet yet mad'Eing strains.
But when you win another heart,
That's gay and wild and free,
Do not then crush it with such scorn
As you have given to me.
Borne on despair's dark ocean,
Drown'd in its surging swell,
Then know that l have loved thee,
Not wisely-but too well.

Bounty LAND LAw.---Amendment
Proposed-Judge Sutherland has re.
Gently recommended that the land boun-
ty act should be so amended as to give
TO each person who was out in the pub
lie service during the Indian wars, or
the war of 1919, one hundred and six.
ty acres of land. He says that soldiers
who were enlisted about the close of
the Mexican war, and who were at Fort
Miflin, when peace was proclaimed,
received $50 acres, or one hundred
dollars in scrip. Some of these recruits
were not in service more than a month,
and yet got the $50 acres Of land. He
thinks, therefore, and justly, that the
grant Of 40 acres, lat the Government
estimate of25 dollars. for three months
service, is entirely too small to be given
by the Government TO either a soldier or
a soldiers widow, and where it is to be
divided among minor children, is not
worth the trouble and cost OF the npYli-
cation. i

On the day Of the meeting Of the
secessionists at Kingston, revolu-

that he could not very well see.-
He was told that they were trying
to get the people 10 dissolve or
secede from the Union, Whereupon,
he dropped his withered face. and
seemed to be in deep distress for one
or two minutes, after which he rais-
ed his head, and, with a faltering
voice, said, "Oh, don't do that till I
am deadl'' While he uttered these
words, the large tsars chased each

which he replied, "Don't let them do

the following address, on the subject Of
the WHIsKEY INsURREcTIoN, delivered
a few years ago before the members Of
the Mount Pleasant Temperance Socie-
ty, WestmorelaEd county, Pennsylva-
mia, by the Hon. JOHN LoBNGIER. We
have no doubt it will be acceptable to
many of our readers as furnishing them
with some facts and incidents, by per-
SON who was an eyewitness and, in
some degree, an actor, in one of those
scenes of madness and misrule that
sometimes take possession Of whole
communities as well as individuals.
Judge Lobingier, though verging f it
towards ninety years of age, is still. we
are happy TO learn, hale, active man,
venerable for his age, and esteemed and
beloved by all who know him, for the
of his manners and the integ
rity of his life. CASPER TARR and
PHILLIP REAGAN, Esqs., mentioned in

During the second session of what
is known in history as the "Coon
Congress" floods Of light were pour
ed on the land Of "Buncombe,n from
the reservoir of Congressional wis
dom! Being young and fulfof fire,
we were determined to contribute
our humble mite towards the ad-
vancement Of the literary, political
and miscellaneous knowledge Of the
age! The person who writes, is
Mr.. H. NJ. Watterson, formerly a
member Of Congress from Tennes-
see, now editor OF the Nashville
Union. Ii was on the ID dav OF
July, lS42, 1--WE like TO be particular
in dates,) that Gen. Robert L. Caru-
theirs paid his respects 10 "Bun-
combe" in a very able speech
Whilst we were listening to the
thunder Of his eloquence, we felt a
reply crawling all over us, and the
moment we heard the word "Amen,' y
or IFS equivalent, we sprang to our
feet and said, in. stentorian voice.
"Mr. Speaker" Never shall we
forget the Speakers response, for it
sunk deep into our affections. "The
gentleman from Tennessee has the
floor" Finding that we had drawn
prize, we just rolled up our sleeves,
spit on our hands, and pitched into
Whiggery for about one hourl-
When our terrible labors were con-
cluded, we found our physical
strength nearly exhausted, and
down we went to Pettibone's Tat

ment Of the Capitol for medicinei--
That day and night we took some
twelve or fifteen dosesl The conse-
quence was, that we got up next
morning with a most intolerable
headachel In looking over the
morning papers we discovered a
sketch Of our remarks in the House
the day before. Although they were
accurate as far as reported, they
were not as full as we desired.-
About this time we met with our
colleague and much beloved friend,
Aaron V. Brown. "Look here,"
said we, "You have it in your power
TO do me a great favor" "What is
thatl" replied he. "You heard my
reply to Gen. Caruthers on yester-
day--now take this paper Chanding
him mornings Globe,) and write
out my speech at length" "Certain-
ly, certainly, sir. | will attend to il
with pleasure," was his kind re
sponse. Faithful to his promise he
did it up "Broton''--we franked 1t
10 our consiitUents-and that was
the last we thought OF it until our
eyes fell on the above paragraph
Thursday last being Thanksgiving
day, we found time, and deemed il |
a suitable occasion, to give the
speech referred to a re-perusal. I'll

OF Tennessee, on the Veto Message;
delivered in the House of Representa-
tives.
Perhaps our readers would now
like to hear our pinion Of it. We
give it with frankness. As written,
it is about such a speech as sillier
men than Solomon would be most
heartily ashamed OF, and which |
would reflect but little credit on

THE Way STORIES Grow As THEY
TRAvEL.-On Friday last, fire was
put under the boilers Of the Cotton
Mil, TO try the draft OF the new
stack and the movement Of the en-.
CINE. The superintendent and en-
gineer were surprised to find a new
stack draw so well, and were reIa-
ting TO each other the difficulties
they had frequently encountered in
forcing draft through new stacks.
One said to the other that powder
had to be burned in the chimney TO
induce draft. A crowd Of by-stan-
ders heard the words 'spowder,"
'sstack y and "boilers.' and imagined
some iendish villain had put powder

THE REPUBLIC.
H.rhor nm DaSsatad.

Our iears concerning the fate Of the Hsrbor bill
are realized, and 1t has again been struck down BY
the mAlign influence Of Locofocosm.
We are not informed Of the vote by which the
northwest han again been stricken down; we do
not know whether the principle Of n-appropria-
tions has been made corner stone Of the Locofoco
creed at the instance Of southern politicians; but
we do know that the barterers Of its birthright
will allow no subterfugc to shield those who own
allegiance TO it from the full measure Of its con-
demnation - Chicago Journal.
Our friends in the northwest have probably
learned by this time to whom they are indebted
for the defeat of the Harbor and River bill. If
Mr.. JOHN WENTWORTH had devoted himself
half as zealously to the prosecution of that
measure as he did to malignant persecution
of Mr.. RIrCHIE, it could no doubt have reached
the Senate at such a period as would have
made it impossible for its enemies to talk or
read it to death, though some ofits false friends
might have killed it by amendments.

The funniest document that has recently
fallen under our eye is the circular Of Colonel
THOMPSON to his fellow-citizens of the fifteenth
Congressional district of Virginia. The idea of
trying to convince the people Of that district
that the plain, honest, hearty HAYMoND, is all
sorts OF JOHN ADAMS, Blue-light Fed
eralist, and has been so from the origin of
the Government, is quite too ridiculous. II
Colonel THOMPSON had said that his competitor
had stolen horse, or disturbed the conjugal
felicity of his neighborhood, or violated the
decalogue in all its parts, he might haye pre-
vailed upon some long cared persons to believe
him. But when he talks Of Tom HAYMoND-
shrewd, sensible, popular ToM-as an aristo-
crat, trying to make the ''rich richer and the
poor poorer" that is laying it on little too
thick. The colonels constituents will never
stand that.
There is another thing about Colonel THoMP-
SONS circular that will make the citizens Of
the fifteenth district laugh little. While it
undertakes to hold Colonel RAYMOND response

Senator was again taken up in the Legislature
of that State on the 18th inst, and continued on
the l4th. Fourteen Intellectual balotings took
place. After the eighth ballot, Mr.. GRIswoLD

sequently he also was Withdrawn, and the Hon.
