MARRYING THE PEAcE.-At The last dates
from Utah, Walker, the Indian chief, was con-
tinuing his depredations upon emigrants and the
Mormon settlements. The subject being before
one of the conference meetings of The Nlormons,
Elder Smith in,imaied that he could settle the
difficulties with the Indians, provided some one
of the sisters had taste for wigwam life. lie
said:
81 know men are careless, women are care
less; and if there is not greater care taken, wo-
men will be carried away prisoners, and their
children will be murdered if they wander of
carelcssly and without protection. tell you, in
Il country like this, where women are scarce and
hard to get, we have great need TO take care OF
them. Walker himself has teased ME Tor 4
white wife; and if any of the sisters will marry
him, believe can close the war forthwith.
am certain that unless men can take better care
OF their women, Walker may supply himself on
a liberal scale, and without closing the war either.
In conclusion, will say, if any lady wishes to
be Mrs. Walker, if she will report herself to
me, will agree to negotiate the match"

INDUSTRY THE ROAD To SuccEss.-lt is a pro-
verbal remark, founded on experience and COM
mon sense that Satan will employ him who does
not find employment for himself. Industry will
secure the confidence and encouragement of
good men, What is it that we first inquire
after respecting one who is just coming forward
on the arena of public life! Brilliant talents
my be desirable respectable connections may
have IN influence; property may serve as az
outfit but after all, our real Judgment of the
man, and our readiness TO commit important
trusts 10 bis keeping, will dcpcud on something
more inherent and personal We must know
that lie is industrious and faithful. Without
these abiding qualities, capacity, and family, ard
fortune will seem light as air and empty as
bubble.
1t is instructive to ask who they are that rise
to the highest distinctions both in Church and
State. Flashes of genius and outbursts of
efforts usually accomplish but little. We hear
much of fair opening and happy beginnings; but
in a great majority of instances, the men of
persevcring diligence bear away the palm. The
best talent on earth is that Of assduous applica-

EXTENSIVE FRAUDS on THE PENSION OFFICE
David w. McNuty, who was arrested ut Cincn-
natl last week, on charge of committing frauds
on the penon Cllice, at Washington, has for
fcited his bail of $4,000, and disappeared. 1t is
said an examination of his case would have
brought forth some startling developments, and
seriously involved several respectable citizens
of Cincinnati. 1t is alleged that in January last
application was received at the Pension Office
for pension for Catharine Swan. the widow of
Jesse Swan revolutionary soldier, of Clermont
county, Ohio. The application purported to
of Pensions suspected fraud, he dispatched ]. J.
Combs, Esq, lawyer of Washington, to Ccr-
mont county. This gentleman soon aSccrtaincd
that the papers in the case including the county
seal, were all forgercs: that Jesse Swan left Eo
widow, and that several of the witnesses men,
toned in the application had been dead for many
years After Mr. C.'s return to Washington, on
an examination of the files in the Pension Office
it was discovered that several large claims had
been admitted within The last eighteen months,
and the money paid thereon at the Louisville
agency, amounting to over six thousand dollars,
in which the papers were drawn up in the same
handwriting as in the Swan case. On further
investigation, the Department became satisfied
that these cases were all fraudulent, and made
out by forged papers similar to those above de-
scribcd Subsequently events transpired which
led to the arrest of McNulty, on suspicion of his
being the guilty party. and the proof against him
it is alleged, was overwhelming.
IMPosToRs pleading abject poverty are said to
have become perfect nuisance along the lines
of route pursued by the myriads Of emigrants
going West. A fellow at Rochester the other
day made affidavit that he was entirely destitute
and the superintendent of the railroad was about
writing him free ticket, when lie took q fancy
to search the "poverty stricken" wretch. IN
his fob was found q gold watch, ten eagles and
nine dollars in other money. He was arrested
for perjury, and stands q chance of doing 2" the
State come servse." On the following morning
another party applied for aid, and on examination
was found in possession Of eighteen dollars.

A LARGE CoRn F1ELD.-On the west side
of the Scioto, just below Columbus, (Ohio0
there is field of six hundred acres OF bottom
land planted in corn. Fifteen shovel pioughs
and three cultvators, worked by eighteen men
and twenty-five horses, are kept in constant
requisition; and the result is that scarcely
weed can be seen in the we'll -ploughed furrows.
twenty-five German girls (white servants) follow
the plonghs, and do the hoeing, for which they
receive e62! cents per day. The men receive

was formed to make provision for deciding upon
disputed claims, &c. Resolutions were adopt

YANKEE AGENTS.

We gave an instance the other day illustra-
tive Of the misrepresentation, OF our institutions,
often circulated by these persons.
Now from this, among &he many lessons which
the South has had to learn, from these agents
of Northern as well as of Southern houses,
travcrsing the country, We hope our citizens will
make up their minds fully 10 have nothing to do
with these Yankee agents from either Northern
or Southern houses. If they came among US as
truthful spies, we would not object to them,
butthey are spies, having previously made ar
engagements with some dirty little abolition sheet,
as in that instance, above alluded TO, write let
ters, and thus deiray their expenses. When
facts fail them, with the incentives offered by
the success of Mrs. Stowe, they resort to fiction;
for the theme is Il popular and money making
one there. They should always be dismissed,
in so doing, we are aware that we would some
times treat discourtcously well behaved gentle
men, but that, however much to be regretted,
is unavoidable. We have Il number of men
here at the South who would gladly undertake
the business Let them be employed. We
have no doubt that great many poor students
in the South Carolina College could be found
who would, devote their summer vacation to
such employment, as means of defrayng their
expenses of obtaining an education, and thus
making themselves useful citizens. Here for
instance is a case just in hand Two South
Carolnians. NIessrs. Johns son and Walker un-
der!akc to compile Map of the Stale, under
the special patronage Of the Legislature, we be-
icve; that, however,, is mmatcral. Its greatest
demand was among Carolinians. Instead of
getting Caroinians, or Souhcrners to act as their
agents, they import regiment of New Englan-
dcrs and despatch them over the whole country.
They have reaped the reward, many of them re-
turned with the fruits of their labor in their
pockets, and we wager, with their heads stored
"with such facts Of slavery" as we recorded the
other day. The agent who visited this section
Of the country, Mr. Kellogg, as far as we can
learn, conducted himself like a gentleman. But
nevertheless if We had it to do over, we pledge
ourself that we would not purchase 4 Map For
as one citizen, we are determined to discourage
the appointment Of agents from that latitude
