News from Ell Paso.

The UeStern Term has a private letter
form Ell Paso dated Feb 25. which states
that the people are highly elated with the
prospect of having two companies Of soldiers,
stationed in that Viei nifty.
About three weeks previous to the date
Of the letter, the Indians took fifteen mules
from Pa rea's train, between Magofin's and
Ponies Ranches,
From the same letter we gather the follow
ing iasSdepts:
Mr.. Burgess, of Preside del Norte, learn
ing that d party of Indians were somwcheres
between that place and chihuahua, raised a
party of Mcxicans and went in pursuit
They found the Indians, surprised and killed
about thirty of their number, and took n
large number Of animals, with which they
returned to Preside.
Alter his return he started to- take the
captured animals to FL Paso. Attic Canons
about eighty miles below San Elizar, while
Burgess and Guilford were on ahead hunt
ing, four Indians made their appearance in
a hostile attitude. The men in charge of
the cabalIado dismounted from their horses
which were rather poor ones for a chase,
and taking the best from the caballado,
started in pursuit, The Indians fed in the
direction Of Burgess and Guilford. They,
seeing the Indians coming towards them.

heads following. naturally concluded that
their camp had been o%yerpowered BY supe-
rior numbers, and these were a detachment
sent in pursuit Of them.
Acting upon this superstition. they pu
whip to their horses, and never drew RENT
until they reached Guadaloupe, where they
found Lieut.. Robertson With seven dragons.
The Lieutenant immcdatelys started back
with them in search Of the remainder Of the
party. Before reaching the Canon, they
found the men in high spirits. bringing on
the Caballado.
Burgess isknown to be a man Of courage

call that telling wings not support Mr.. Shar-
on? Do you not make a business of urging
wings to vote for all men that you wish TO
be elected? We believe that is a general
rule. Perhaps though you are an exception
to general rules"
Now let US seeif you did not tell them tc
vote for him. You say-"We trust there

construction of the road over the pan handle,
The same information has been conveyed in
these columns already, but we publish this
as it bears the marks Of undoubted authen-
ITCHY, and indicates the final determination
of those concerned. Sufficient warrant is
found for this i'll the fact that no law exists

Virginia territory, between Pennsylvania and
the OHIO river, commonly known as the Pan
Handel The right OF way was not procu-
red from the Virginia Legislature, it is true;
but hat fact will moi prevent this section OF
the road from being made. Deeds in fee
simple have been procured by Mr.. MEANS
for a strip Of land one hundred miles wide
and five miles in length, from the Pennsyl-
yania State line to the Ohio State boundary,
in the Ohio river, which will give him abb

GIGANTIC SrgAMERs.-We published
among our items OF foreign news an an
n0unccmrnl that contract had been made
in England for the construction Of a NAM
moth steamer, upward of six hundred feet
in length, and measuring 10000 tons. The
idea Of a monster ship like this is not o-igi-
nal with John Built Mr. Burden, of Troy,
IN this State, man Of wealth, and me-
chan!c Of original genius, some years ago
suggested the construction of a steamer OF
seven hundred feet in length, and Of CORES
ponding depth and width, to run to Europe.
Mr.. Burdens idea was that it is practicable
10 construct a steamer which would 20
across the Atlantic with as little motion a.
ferry steamer runs on our rivers. He
proposed that his steamer should draw sev-
cnty-fvc feet Of water, and her top to be-
an hundred feet above the water line. The
maximum height of the waves of the ocean
from the bottom Of the sea through to the
crest Of the wave Is estimated not to exceed
thiriy-fvo feet hence Mr.. Burden con-
cluded that a vessel of seventy five feet
draught would always run on an even keel.
There are but few ports were such a vessel
could enter. On the Atlantic coast, New
port offers the greatest facilities of a good
harbor, with ease Of access and abundance
Of water, and here MIR. Burden proposed to
establish the headquarters Of his ship. No
steps were ever taken to carry out the ma
jestic idea of our couutryman, and it is now
broached on the other side of the Atlantic,
and measures are taking to secure its rcali-
zation. The proposed British ship is to be
propelled by two sets of side wheels and a
screw at the stern having, we presume,
three independent engines aud sets of ma
chinery. The experiment of running a
steamer Of such gigantic proportions will be
watched with intense interest, and if sue
ceSsful, will mark new era in navigation

Printers.

Printers, il is said, universally Ne at an
early age. This is doubtless caused by the
noxious cffluvia arising from the type, the
want of exercise, constant confinement, and
the late hour 10 which their work is pro-
longed. There are no other class of human
beings whose privileges are 80 few-whoSe
labor is as continuous aud whose wages are
as inadequate as printers. If a typo be
a man Of a family, he is dcbarrcd from the
privilege of enjoying their society at all
times, because his hours Of labor arc almost
endless and his moments of leisure so few,
that they must be spent in sleep to recruit
his exhausted energies, and prepare him for
renewal of his tolls Poor fellow, he
knows little or nothing of sociability, and
from necessity is as clearly shut out from
the world as a convict in a prison cell.
Truly he is in The world. yet knows not
of it. Toll, toll, by night and day is his
fate, until premature old age ends his exist
ence. For the advancement of science,
morality and virtue, the chords of his heart
are surrendered, on- by one, and when his
race is run and lime to him is no more, he
goes down TO the grave uncared for. and
unknown, though his existence has been
sacrificed for the benefit Of his race.
When we hear merchants crying out
against oppression, and demanding certain
hours for labor and for rest, we cannot but
reflect upon the situation Of our own craft
how every moment Of our lives is forced
into service 10 earn bare subsistence, and
how uncomplainingly they devote them
selves 10 the good Of that same public who
would wear them as loose garment, 10 be
donned when convenient, and doffed when
no longer needed.
Printers are universally poor men, and
for two reasons: The first s-they rarely
ever receive a fair compensation for their
services. And the second is-that Injured
to continual suferings, privation and toll,
their purse strings are ever united at the
bidding Of charity, and the hard earned
dimes are freely distributed for the relief
Of their fellow-mcn. Thus it is that they
live poor, and die poor, and, il suitable re-
ward does not await them after death, sad
indeed must be the beginning, the existence
and the end of poor IyPos.-Richmond Re-

THE "JoUR. ."--You may sometimes
meet, in passing down street, at an early
hour in the morning, an individual, perhaps
partially wrapped in wooden and cotton fab

he possesses You discern in a moment
that for all practical purposes, he is i'm

your fnery, may be nobody, though you
may think otherwise, while he is all he pre-

no noise in the world, would not il he could,
but, nevertheless, has his value where and
how, you may learn on inquiry. Tho true

around you may see his works. Go where
you will, the mechanic has left his mark
In the gray old pyramids, in the rmbaitled
towers and mighty Notifications Of the old
and new ages, in the huge oak levinlhans Of
the ocean, and in almost every spot where
the foot of civilized man has ever rodden,
his handiwork is visible. Even in the midst
Of the desert, you may hear the clank Of his
