apt to be the case, when changes comes over

Road. Nearly five years ago he began Ia

communication on the line of the Mississippi
and Columbia Rivers; now he is for the car

idea. The expedition OF Lewis and Clarke,
recommended by him, established it.

THE GOVERNMENT q. NEW MEXICO.

The Washington Union, in an article on
affairs in New Mexico, takes the ground, that
Gov. Trias, in seizing, by an armed force
Mesilla Valley, committed gross outrage,
which was combined with folly. And furth-
er, considering the weakness of Mexico, ii
would hardly be magnanimous in the U. s.
Government to make any hostile demonstra-
tion, but If the act is not discountenanced by
the Mexican ausssArities, then the U. States
cannot hesitate how to act.
The article bears stamp Of authority, and
will no doubt attract attention.

Taking a Newspaper.

Under this head, the New York Tribune
has an excellent article, designed to show the
value of the Newspaper in the family, and its
importance not only to the Business man, but
to the Farmer and the Mechanic. As there
is much in the article adapted to this locality,
we shall take the liberty Of quoting from it
literally. 1T would probably be near the
TRUTH says the Tribune, to 'estimate that one
half Of the families of the Free States take
some sort of a Periodical. The remainder,
including majority Of our immigrants from
the Old World, take none at all; what mea-
gre, confused, imperfect notions they gather
OF the history of the times, are obtained by
occasi onaly borrowing neighbor's Journal,
or turning through one in some convenient
bar room. s--55 t.l,t i.....

families make grave mistake in neg'ec:ng

four cents per week for a paper. These are

01T-The Cherokee Advocate gives a gloomy
account of the financial condition of the Cher.
okee Nation, and has some gloomier antici.
pations OF their future fate, unless a reform
takes place in the administration of their
affairs.
The Nation has been indulging in the lux
ury of civilization, large public debt. The
Government is supported by the annuities
which they receive annually from the United
States, under the provisions Of treaties.
These are insufficient to meet the current ex-
penses of the Government and accordingly
the debt continues to increase. 1t takes the
form of warrants upon the treasury, issued to
citizens of the Nation; but in the course OF
trade these have passed into the hands OF
white traders and merchants within the States,
in payment for goods. They are secured BY
the pledged faith Of the Cherokee Treasury; |;
but the only revenue from which they can be
paid, is the annuities from the United States.
As this fund does not increase, while the
debt does, the Advocate foresees bankruptcy
whenever the creditors press their claims
The course which is intimsted that they will
pursue is to apply to Congress to stop the an
nuities until these debts are thereby provided
for II this be done the Nation will be ut
terly without resources or revenues, and its
government will stop. Next follows, in the
apprehension of the Cherokees, a claim
on the part Of the United States to extend ju-
risdiotion over their country as measure of
protection, and then proposal to buy their
lands and remove them further west. If they

for three quarters of a million. Individual

years. The meeting though unexpected, was

InrosINe UPoH THE NEXT WoRLp.-A
New York paper proffers the following ques-
ion with regard to the hanging law:
"There is serious objection to capital
punishment, that we have never seen pre-.
sented, and that isa query Of this kind:-
What business has this world to rid itself of
nuisances at the expense of some. .othsrwevid,
We complain Of the o,d countries for sending
the sum Of their population here, and nuke it
law in this country that every, town shall
support iis. own paupers; and is it then 4
secure transaction to ship bad men 10 foreign
shores in the unknown world! IF hanging
were an humiliation, it might be justifable
on the principle of sacrificing the less to the
greater; but if it only turns the man loose
else, we should find out first
whether he is wanted where is sent. 1t ia
possible at least, that he is forced upon a
society that have no more relish for him than
those who see fit to expel him. We should
have too much regard for this possibility to
vote for capital punishment"

A BLOW UP.

A Store house was blown up with gun pow
der, few days since, at the place called the
Hole.in-the- Ground, in Belmont county, and
entirely consumed, with all the goods, books,
&c. The proprietors were awakened by the
noise occasioned by the explosion of two kegs
of powder, which we're in the room. When
they reached the ruins it was too late to save
anything, the Neat being so intense as to pre-
vent them from working. A rather singular
circumstance was mentioned in connection
with the explosion. A small clock was sit
ting in the window facing the street. When
surrounding the ruins the clock was heard to
strike, and upon looking around, was found in
the street, some considerable distance from the
building, running & keeping time as though,
nothing had happened. Query-Could the
clock have been thrown into the street by the
explosion, without being injured, or was it
carried there by some scoundrels who had
robbed the store and then set fire to it to es-
cape detection!- Cadiz Republican.

were the scum and dregs of all parties-who
were fugitves from routed fields or deserters
from pledges given to the people, when they
obtained these appointm ents." .....
