The Lynchburg Virginian, in abiding to the
proposition of Mr.. Lewis, of Harrison, to authors
Use the construction of railroad from Clarksburg.
in that county, to the mouth OF the Big Sandy,
makes the following important revelation
''At the Commercial Convention in Baltimore.
a few weeks ago, Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
preached this scheme and urged it very warmly.
From Lexington in that State, he said there
were, or shortly would be, railroad connections
with the whole West, Southwest and Northwest
From Lexington to the mouth of the Big Sandy
there was a charter and the means had been pro-
vided, for the construction of railroad From
the mouth of the Big Sandy to Parkersburg-to
which point the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
branch, he informed them, was distance of
only eighty miles. If Baltimore would fill that
interval he assured them she would have the
shortest, cheapest and best communication with
the Valley of the Mississippi of all the Atlantic
cities. He also answered an objection, suggest
ed by some one, that Virginia might refuse a
right of way, by insisting that the State was too
deeply committed to the principle of free trade,
to lay such an embargo upon internal cons
merce.
eft is in aid of such scheme as this, for di-
verting from Virginia the trade for which she is
making such noble struggles, and to obtain which
she has appropriated millions of dollars, that Mr..
Lewis presents the measure of which we have
spoken"

ceived from Monterey that the revolution had
been proclaimed at that place, and rumor has it
that Carvaal is there, although one of his Off
GERS must be near the frontier, as news had been
received that Col. Montero, of the regular Mex
lean army, had been captured by him. He also
say that the National Guards. who so nobly met
the regulars in the streets of Matsmoras, had
been completely successful, for, the goth,
Col. Basave arrived at Matamoras with the re-
mains of his badly cut up forces, acknowledging
that he had been beaten. When Cardenas was
arrested at TuIa. Canaes succeeded in making
his escape, leaving in the hands of his pursuets
his hat, sash, sword, cane, &c. What became
of him was not known, but it is reported that
some rancheros had murdered him. This was
not believed. The correspondent of the Valley
adds:
On the 10Th, Avaos enlightened the world by
publishing couple of procamations, ad
dressed to his troops and the other to the people
of Matamoras. The first speaks of the valor, con-
staucy, fidelity and obedience; the second tells

THE FLORIDA INDIANS.

In the House of Representatives Wednesday,
the Speaker presented the following message
from the President of the United States:
~ The Senate and House Of Representatives Of
The United States:
| have the honor herewith to transmit n re.
port from the Secretary of the Interior. from
which it appears that the efforts of that Depart
ment to induce the Indians remaining in Florida
to migrate to the country assigned to their tribe
west of the Mississippi have been entirely I'M
successful. The only alternative that now re-
mains is either to compel them by force to COM
ply with the treaty made with the tribe in May
1889, by which they agreed to migrate within
three years from that date or to allow the ar
rangement made with them in 1912, referred to
III the Secretarys report, ty which they were to
remain In the temporary occupancy of portion
to the peninsula until the Government should see
fit to remove them, to continue.
1t cannot be denied That the Withholding of 80
large portion of her territory from settlement is
serious injury to the State of Florida; and al
though ever since the arrangement above referred
to the Indians have manifested desire to remain
at peace with the whites, the presence of people
who may at any time, and upon any real or fan
cied provocation, be driven to of hostility is
a source OF constant anxiety and alarm to the ill.,
habltants on that border.
There can be no doubt, also, that the welfare
of the Indians would be promoted by their reno
val from territory where frequent collisions be-
tween them and their more powerful neighbors
are daily becoming inevitable.
On the other hand, there is every reason to be-
lieve that any manifestations of design to re.
move them by force. to take possession of the
terrltoty allotted to them, would be immedintely
retaliated by acts of cruelty on the defenceless
inhabitants
The number of Indians now remaining in the
State is, it is true, very inconsiderable, mot ex-
ceeding, it is believed, FIVE hundred,) but owing
to the great extent of the country occupied by
them, and its adaptation to their peculiar mode of
warfare, force very disappointment their num-
bers would be necessary to capture expel them
or even to protect the white settlements from their
incnrsions. The military force now stationed in
that State would be Inadequate these objects; and
If it should be determined to enforce their remo-
val or to survey the territory allotted to them
some addition to it would be necessary, as the
Government has but small force available for
that service. Additional appropriations for the
support of the army would also, in that event, be
necessary.
For these reasons | have deemed it proper to
submit the whole matter to Congress for such &C.
ton as they may deem best.

The Brave Man.

We love brave man. Not your bearded
musket bearer, who stalks like a puppet, to tho
battle field, and pops a ball or two in the air,
and then retires; but the man who has inherent
in the inmost recesses of his soul that fortltude
ofcharacter, that invincibe Spartan spirit, which
spurns the base promptings to evil, and chooses
only the true path whose mile-stones are vir-
tue. The soldier is we'll in his place-he is
necessity. So is the bull dog. Excellent, both
of thcm in case of hostility. But the man
whose stern purpose is not to bend from the
right, is the angel of earth But alas! like an
angels visits, they are very few. 1t is seldom
you see a man bear the ills of life, its miseres
and cares, and come out from the ordeal pure.
1t is told in history that during the celebration
of the festivals of Diana in Orthia, youths were
whipped before the alter, and he who bore the
lash of the whip with the greatest patience and
without uttering groan, was declared vlcto~
rious and received upon his brow the chaplet
of victory. There are such trials in human life.
",Ien feel the whips and stings Of outrageous
fortune"-some to fall and sink into oblivion,
others to rise triumphant through the ever-pre-
sent influences of that fortitude of character
which receives, as its need, the praises and
paudts of the world

A Bear .Sto'y-The following item Of in-
telligence is so very old (says the New York
Courier) that it is probably new to the present
generation. The New London CON- Gazette
of February A. 1922, says:
"a very odd kind of a providence happened
lately in our neighborhood, viz: Mr.. Zebulon
Stanhope, farmer, living N. E. by N. from
this township, having trained up couple of
large bears to the plough and other services,
capped them before his sled last week, with
twenty shipple= of wheat for the new city
The animals drew extremely we'll for miles
and half, when, the halter giving way, the
farmer set about repairing it; but whilst thus
employed, the inhuman brute, seizing him by
the right leg, tore it miserabIy, and both bears
pulling at once, ran away with the sled so that
with the utmost difficulty he got home in four
hours on foot Messengers were dispatched
to look for the sled and cargo; two days being
spent in frutIess search, they were given up
for lost; but on the third at noon the noise of
a carriage near the house was heard, and young
Cad Stanhope jumped up to see who was com
ing, when be beheld, to his great astonishment,
the two bears drawing his sled into the barn.
with no earthly thing in it except four large
bears and three cubs. The lad and two men
that happened to be then in the house ran fast
and shut the barn door, and with long gun
shot them all through a crevice."

TThe New York Sunday Atlas announces
that discovery of the utmost importance to
wine drinkers has been made by Mr.. Struggles,
maker Of port and champagne wine in New
Jersey. II is stated that the rapid consump-
ton of cockroaches, used to give the nutty and
peculiarly piquant flavor to wine, has made it
difficult to find a sufficient supply. In this di-
lemma the wine makers conceived the happy
idea that bed bugs might be used as a substi-
tute. He tried the experiment, and the result
was far more satisfactory than he had anticipa-
ted. 1t was found that a quar-. of bed bugs
contained as much of the flavoring principles
as three pints or more of the reaches, and that
the former have but little of that narcotic or
sleep producing effect, which is attributed to
the latter. Contracts have been made with
some of the fashionable boarding house keep
ers in Philadelphia and New York for an ample
supply of this new article of traffic. 1t is
thought the boarders will be somewhat pleased
with the intelligence.
