DEsoLATIoN.--An immigrant Just arrived

tion Of the memorable Jarnado del Wuerto,"
on which SO many thousands of animals and
so many persons Of the last years emigration
perished | sa f3lsla a.
" If there is section of countryin Gods
wide-extended creation that can surpass that
large scope of country lying between Salt Lake
Valley and Carson river, for sterility of soil,
scarcity Of timber, and everything that has
tendency to cheer up the spirits OF the wea-
ried traveller, am sure that don't care to
see it, From the sink of Humboldt river
across the desert to Carson river, my heart was
sickened at seeing the great destruction of
property, viz: wagons, carriages and buggies,
dead horses, mules, and cattle, whose carcases
lie thick all over the ground, in state of pres
ervation, the skins and good deal of the flesh
being dried to the bones-the water marshes,
and air, being SO strongly impregnated with
alkali that it has tendency to keep off the
devouring insects and birds of prey. But the
worst is not half told yet: to see, every two or
three hundred yards, a grave, where father,
mother, brother, or sister, has been buried
but ere the train is out of sight, the corpse
is disinterred by the prowling wolf OF the saw
age Indian-the bones to bleach upon the
great American desert. Although am rather
hardened sinner, yet, when saw the scene
as just described, could not refrain from she'd
ding tears, and feeling myself more submissive
to that mighty and powerful God who rules
the universe-Floridd Neus.

The Maysville (Ky.) Eagle alluding to tn

The Maysvile (Ky) Eagle, alluding to the
resignation of Mr. Clay, suggests:
whether it does not become the Legisla-
ture of Kentucky to signify by some fit and
appropriate form of expression, it's own as well
as the general sense of the people of the State,
of the great and patriotic services Of Henry
Clay, not only to his country, but to the cause
of mans freedom in all climes; the public re-
gret at the cause of his retirement from the
public service, and the pride felt in contempla-
ting the glorious career of his public life"
Upon which the Frankfort (Ky,) Common
1ceahh remarks:
"We second this suggestion with oil our
heart and the more earnestly, because we be-
Ieve the time has come when both parties can
unite to do honor to Henry Clay. He is no
more to be candidate for Office His connec-
ton with political parties is past and gone. He
stands bofore the country in position higher
than that of any party leader The whole
Union, the whole world, regards him as the
great statesman and patriot who has thrice
saved his country. The representatives of the
people of Kentucky will CRAFTY their constitu-
ents and honor themselves by distinguishing
in some appropriate manner the close of his
public life, Now seems to be the fitting time
for such an honor for it is much to be feared
that when the next General Assembly shall
convene, it will be too late for honors to reach

CHEROKEE AFFAIRs.-We stated, few
weeks ago, that the Cherokee Indians had been
faithful to their obligations and promptly paid
out of the moneys received from the Govern
ment their outstanding liabilities which in
some instances took every dollar of their per
capita. We also noticed afew days back that
Colonel Drennen, Superintendent of Indian
Affairs, had left this city with 81 100000 to
pay another per capita to the Cherokees Out
of this amount we perceive that the National
Council have authorized the Treasurer of the
Nation to reserve five per cent. out of the per
capita due them, to pay General Waddy Thomp-
son and Arnold Harris, Esq, their fees as at
torneys in the settlement Of their affairs ut
Washington. We are delighted at this, for it
substantiates what we have always asserted in
regard to these Indians, that they would be
faithful to all their obligations; and it gives us
still greater pleasure to know that our most
worthy fellow-citizen, Major Arnold Harris,
will receive out of the payment yet to be made
near $4,000. We only wish ten times that
amount was due him, for it could not fall into
better or more honorable hands. Major Har-
ris and General Waddy Thompson were the
attorneys for the emgrating party of Cherokees.

The Salaries OF Government Officers.
To the Editor Of The american Tslegrdph:
Mr.. EDrroR: On the subject of an increase of
the salaries Of the higher and subordinate officers
Of the government, an almost unanimous opinion
exists favorable to such an increase. 1t is q no
torious fact that the executive branch of our
government is most poorly, not to add meanly,
paid The British Minister near this government
receives n salary Of $40, 000-$5, 900 more than
is paid to the President of the United States
Our Cabinet ministers are often obliged to draw
upon their private fortunes to enable them TO
maintain the dignity Of their official stations and
meet the expectations of those with whom they
have official and social intercourse. Our foreign
ministers all concur in opinion to the impolicy
of poor men, however eminent may be their abili
ties, accepting an appointment to any respectable
court in Europe Such is the opinion Of Mr..
Lawrence. our Minister to the Court Of St.
James, of Gen. Cass and Mr.. King, late Minis
ters to France, and Of our present Minister Mr..
Rives. Does IL not become us, then, as great
and growing nation, TO reward literally the SER
vices of the officers of the government at least
to an extent commensurate with their services
and responsibilities, and adequate TO the neces-
sary outlay and expenses incident to their official
POSITIONS .r..
Even among the subordinate officers Of the gov
ernment in this city the pay is, as a general
thing disproportionte to the services rendered,
and insufficient to enable the clerk to provide
comfortably and respectfully for his household
This is altogether wrong II "the laborer is
worthy Of his hire
am glad to see that Mr.. Senator Hunter has
already made n move in the matter, and trust
that his efforts may rebound 10 his own honor,
and promote the welfare Of the employees Of the
government. X. Y. u.
EDIroR's RENARKs.-wc would reply to our
correspondent, that we are in favor Of giving to
the laborer in the service Of our government
just reward; that we do not think eight dollars u
month and an occasional Hogging suitable re.
ward for n soldier or n sailor; that VIC DO not
think eight hundred or n thousand dollars u
proper recompense for the services of the kind Of
men we should have for clerksin the departments
at Washington; but that we do think the present
salaries Of our secretaries, foreign ministers, aud
President are sufficient Splendor and gorgeous
effects arc incompatible with the genius Of oar
government, and we would not pay for such
things, especially since few Of our abest states
men and diplomatists are at home Ia such array
We would prescribe uniform 10 be worn by al
our representatives abroad, and would have that
uniform decent, comfortable, tasteful, scemly
and indicative Of the simplicity Of rcpublicansm
and we would have them independent IL the 81
trayagancc and fashion Of courtiers whom they
cannot equal and should not initiate In brief
we would reward labor, skill and ability and dis.
courage oil sorts Of regal and aristocratc pa
geantry.
