1t seem that under the laws of Congress, it
becomes the duty of the Marshall of the Wes-
tern District of Arkansas to arrest persons who
have introduced spirituous liquors into the In
dian country. This officer having recently SO
arrested Indians who had been punished under
the Indian law for the offence in the same ca
seS. The Indian authorities are very indignant,
and there is fear Of armed collision to grow out
of the affair. The Secretary of the Interior is
said to have directed the Marshal to makes no
more arrests Of Indians for thir offence who
may have been held amenabe under the Indian
law. until he THE Secretary shall have receiv-
ed full information to enable him to give hin
further instructions on the subject.

The Var Ne,cs.--The intelligence from
Europe in our columns to-day, seems to indicate
the occurrence of a general war. We are, how
ever, still incredulous. We do not think that
the allied powers will allow Turkey to embroil
the wordt, and endanger its commerce. The
la eondnct of Austria, in releasing Kosta, and
allowing his return to the United States, shows
Z eonclusively that there is no intention to in
xolve this country in the conflict
If therefore war should occur the General
prosperity of the Americans will seriously suf
fer. 1t may depress the price of cotton for a
time, but it will rapidly build up our mauufac-
turing and maritime interests, and give us a
still more exalted position among the nations
OF the earth than we now hold. We trust, how
ever, that peace may continue to prevail, and
that the principles of international Justice and
honor may be maintained without bloodshed.-

interests of Tennessee, with the hope that those
of our readers who have not already done so,
will take the time to read it. In view of the
probable stringency in money matters which
may follow this season of prosperity with which
we are, or have been blessed, it will be du-
~ as well as the pleasure of the memg#s of the
Legislature to matureiy consider every PROPOSE
ton that nav come before them asking for aid
from the State; so that they may encourage
those schemes which present the greatest advan-
tage to the State and the commerce of her peo-
pie, for the smallest amount of money. Their
attention will be no doubt called to the impor-
lance of appropriations to the Rabun Gap Rail-
road, but it will be for them to say whether 1t is
10 the interest of the State TO issue her bonds at
the rate of ($800O) eight thousand dollars per
mile to equip the Road from the Rabun Gap,

A PARODY.

BY J. II. PENNINGTON.
lis the last cent of kindreds
Left lying alone;
All its former companions
Are scattered and gone,
No one of its nature,
No centum is there;
To mingle, and jingle,
The pocket to wear.
Illnot leave thee, thy love one,
To run the sad race;
Of hundreds of bright ones,
Which have been in that place,
But will take thee out now;
While the pocket is whole,
And convert thee into
A honey dew roll.
Thus all cents must follow,
AS oft as I'm dry;
For as sure as there's any,
So sure they will fly:
But when these cents Saint thar
Then to chew | am prone;
And no cent can be left
In my pocket alone.

Accideatai LaRora'HY-In the DAYS when
newspapers were scarce, great worth or great
power, intellectual or physical only, rendered
men immortal in history. Results alone were
chronicled in ancient times, and We have only
in history the names of the men who were most
associated with them in triumph or victory, and
even of them, we moderns know more than did
their distant cotemporares. Nowadays, ac-
cidents make men immortal No matter how
humble may be those by whose good for
tune, Or by whose i'll fortune, moral or poiti-
cal question of Importance is started, become,
upon the instant, known every where that civ.
ilized people are found. Who was Martin
koszta a year agO?--a most obscure man. An
accident, which, he no doubt thought great
misfortune, has given him place in history,
and his has become one of the immortal names
that were not born to die. The Koszta affair
will be talked about and written about when
the name of the Ministers and State Secretaries
who wrote diplomatic notes of ponderous vol
ume pro and cor in regard to it, shall have
been forgotten. These are changeful times in
which we live!- Cincinnati Columbian.

Tie Money Pressarc.-The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Courier DC Enqui-
rer of the 18th inst says; "The amount of
Stocks received at the. Treasury for redemp-
ton yesterday, was $4,000 on which the.
premium paid was about $4,000, making to-
gether $532.OOO in coin relea sed from the SUBJ
Treasury. This movement of stocks towards
the Treasury is evidently the effect of seri-
GUS money pressure in New York, which again
is the result of commercial derangment in
England consequent upon the scarcity of food
and the imminency of war on the continent"

loot rendered such on account of the names
connected with it, but for its continued aglta-
ton through the columns of other papers IN
Tennessee. We see with regret IN the Regis
ter of fhe 18th, another communication over
the signature of "Montvae." in which unchaste
iusinuations are made against Hon. John Bell.
But Mr. Bell is too well known to the people OF
{. Tennessee and the world, for his future fame to
REQUIRE one word in defense. His present en-
inent position as statesman and man OF
integrity has been attained over opposition IN
all its forms, whether it be detra etiOn in the
private circle or the cunning mo ings of the
pen, dipped in the jealous cup of persecution.

How TO DO UP SHIRT BosoMs.-We have often
heard ladies express desire to know by what
process the fine gloss observable on new linens,
shirt bosoms etc. is produced, and in order to graf
ify them; we subjoin the following receipt for
making Gum Arabic Starch: a..
Take two ounces of fine white gum arabic pow
der-put into pitcher and pour on it pint or
more of boiling water, (according to the degree of
strength you desire,) and then having covered it
let it set all night In the morning pour it out
carefully from the dregs into clean bottle, cork
it, and keep it for use. A table spoonful of gum
water, stirred into pint of starch made in the
usual manner, will give to lawns, (ether white or
printed) look of newness when nothing else
can restore them after washing. 1t is also good,
fnch dilute0 for thin white muslin and E55toinet.

A CALIFORNIA LAKE-Lake BiQzer, described
by the Placerville Herald, is certainly one of the
curiosities. It lies at great elevation between
two distict ridges of the Sierra Nevada, but one
and half miles to the north of Johhson's route to
Carson Valley 1t is at least fifty miles long
with an average width of from ten to twenty
miles, and is of great depth. s g. z..-.
It never freezes; though surrounded great part
of the year by snow. On either side are ranged
those great rock barriers that, since their first up
heaval, have, though aided by volunte er torrents
from the melting SHOWS, successfully resisted it's
annual efforts for release from it's mountain pris-
ON. It abounds with fish of several varieties,
among which the speckled trout, many of large
size, and salmon, real salmon, aredominae.-
They are taken in considerable numbers by the
Indians that resort to this, their wildly romantic
and beautiful summer retreat ~
So clear are its waters that stone or other OBJ
iect can be distinctly seen at the bottom thirty
or more feet deep. About midway between the
two extremes of the lake, on the eastern side, is

Am Exquisite story by LamertIns-

In the tribe of Neggdeh, there was horse
whose fame was spread far and near, and q Be-
douin of another tribe, by the name of Daher, de-
sired extremely to possess it. Having offered in
vain for it his cameIs and his whole wealth. he hit
at length upon the following device. by which he
hoped to gain the object of his desire:
He resolved to stain his face with the root of an
herb, to clothe himself in rags, to tie his legs and
neck together as to appear like lame beggar.
Thus equipped, he went to wait for Naber, the
owner of the horse, who he knew was to pass
that way When he saw Naber approaching on
his beautiful steed, he cried out in weak voice,
81 am poor stranger; for three days have
been unable to move from this place to seek for,
food. am dylng-help me, and Heaven will re-
wardyour''
/: The Bedouin kindly offered to take him upon
his horse and carry him home-but the rogue re-
piled, +. 4t b.
81 cannot rise; have no strength left" !, -.
Naber, touched with pity, dismounted, led the
horse to the spot, and with great difficulty set
the seeming beggar on his back, but no sooner
did Daher feel himself in the saddle, than he set
spurs to the horse, galloped off, calling out as
he did So
"It 1, Daher; Ihave got the horse and am off
with it." Ef
Naber called to him to stop and listen. Certain
of not being pursued, he turned and halted at a
short distance from Naber, who was arme with
spear. % @ ~ st-tf se4 ~.
"You have taken my horse, !" said Naber, "since
Heaven has willed it; but I do conjure you never
to tell any one how you obtained it, a.
"And why not" said Daher. ,.....sf .-...-
Because said the noble Arab, "another man,
might be really i'll, and men would fear to help
him. You would be the cause of many refusing
to perform act of charity for fear of being dup7
ed as have been,''
Struck with shame at these words, Daher was
silent for moment, then springing from that
horse, returned it to his owner, embracing him.
Naber made him accompany him to his tent,
where they spent few days together, and be-
came friends for life. Fts7' ~ e~at. .tsv
