~" In Narrative of Travels on the
Amazon and Rio Negro, just published, Mr.
Wallace describes an extraordinary tree, cal.
led the milk tree, which was one Of the first
wonders he saw near Para. The fruit is eata-
bic, and full of a rich and very juicy pulp; but
"strangest of all is the vegetable milk, which
eXudes in abundance when the bark is cut
1t has about the consistence of thick cream.
and, but for very slight peculiar taste, could
scarcely be distinguished from the genuine
product of the cow. Mr.. Lcavens ordered n
man to tap some logs that had lain nearly II
month in the yard. He cut several notches
in the bark with an axe, and in minute the
rich sap was running out in great quantities.
1t was collected in basin, diluted with wa
ter. strained, and brought up at tea time and
at breakfast next morning. The peculiar
flavor of the milk seemed rather TO improve
the quality of the tea, and gave it us good a
colo. as ricl.-aseam; ~ coffee II is equally
good" The milk is also used for glue, and
it is said 10 be as durable as that made use Of
by carpenters"

THE MoRMoNs.-it is now thought that
Capt. Gunnlson and his party were not mur-
dered by the Indians, but that the Mormons
were the perpetrators of the treacherous act
The Cotton. Plant has the following article
on the subject;
awe publish in another column an extract
from ST. Louis paper, in reference to the
massacre of Capt. Gunnson and his party,
which expressed the opinion, based upon
those of old mountaneers, that the deed had
been committed by the Mormons, and not by
the Indians. The fact of the slain being un-
scalped, and papers and other articles which
are of no use to Indians being taken, goes
far to support the suspicion. Vigorous mea-
sures should be adopted, were it possible to
ascertain the facts. But, in community
claiming to be civilized, dwelling in the cen
tire of their territory, and whose officers are
nomiually appointed by their Executive, the
United States are perfectly and absolutely
powerless. The Governor of the Territory
il the head of the Church of Latter Day
Saints. The officers Of the territory are all
of the same faith, and the fact is, that the
National Administration has countenonced
and does countenance in the government of
Utah, union of the State with Church,
the tenets of whose faith are more horrible
and revolving than any known in the ciyiliz-
ed world. This is only the plain and naked
truth, and although the evil may not be con.
sidered great, yet the existence Of that com
munty, organised as it is, is n sore, which if
not attended to in time, may spread over a
large section Of country and affect the heal
thy tone of the body polite.

TWENTY SEVEN ToNs OF SILvER.-Ther,
Is now, and has been for some time, living II
the mint in Philadelphia, over one million o.
dollars in silver coin, ready to be furnished Il
any applicants in exchange for gold. Not
withstanding that this fact Is well known
says the Bulletin, all who visit New York arc
annoyed with the filthy rags that are thrust
upon them as change, the excuse given, being
the scarcity Of silver; and then follows O
sharp piece of impertnence about the mint at
Philadelphia not being able TO furnish silver
The true scarcity of silver in New Yorl. is
that the banks there find il to their advantage
to keep their customers iu ignorance of the
large silver coinage at the mint, as it enables
them TO keep their miserable, filthy small
notes in circulation, and thus to profit by the
ignorance ofthe community.

the incendary publications to which we refer;
and the two millions of newspapers which
may be assumed as our annual export, are in

ped up to her. and patting her famiarly on

informed her husband OF what had occurred,
Mr. Weigart soon after entered the store, and
commenced firing upon Gushing with re-
vover.- Wegart fired four shots, the last of
which was while Gushing was in a STOPPING

PRoFiTs OF THE MuscoGEE RoAp.-The
Columbus Times, says; at may not be gen.
orally known that this company have declared
a dividend of per cent. from the earnings of
the last six months. The money was made
in the last four of the months. The Presi.
dents Report, which we have already pub.
ished assumes that the month Of December
would only pay as much as tho month of
November. In this he was mistaken. Since
the accounts for December have been made
up, it is ascertained that there was an increase
in receipts of $4,000 in favor of December.

Still the angel stars are shining,
Still the rippling waters flow,
But the angel-voice is silent
That ] heard here long ago.
Hark the echoes murmur low,
Long ago!
Still the wood is dim and lonely,
Still the splashing fountains play,
But the past and all its beauty,
Whittier has it fled away!
Hark the mournful echoes say,
Fled away!
Still the bird of night complaineth
(Now indeed her song is pain)
Visions of my happy hours,
Do call and in vain I
IIark the echoes cry again
All in vain!
Cease, oh echoes, mournful echoes
Once ] loved your voices well
Now my heart is sick and weary,
Days of old, u long farewell!
llark the echoes sad and drcary
Cry, Farewell, FAREWELL

The TURKS DEMocRATIc.-By n natural
though unexpected consequence, whilst the
religious dogma Of the Koran tends to deism,
that is to say, to the very ncgation of dogma,
it leads, with regard TO morals and politics,
to doctrines the most liberal and progressive.
Every principle of our modern democracies is
therein contained, not only in germ, but ex-
pressed il the most formal manner. A Turk
having had explained to him the meaning of
the words Liberte, Egalite, Fraterniie, STAMP
ed upon one of our coins, Allah kerini, "God
is great" cried he. "That which the infdels
write upon gold and silver coins, God has
written in the heart of every true Musselman."
