EDITOR.
Lumber Seizures.

A few days since we published instructions
from the Department relative to the duties of
Timber Agents.
We find in the Democrat of Wednesday,
further instructions on the same subject, which
were communicated to that paper by Col. Ir-
win, U. S. Marshal. 1t appears that the Mar
shall "and Capt. Estes are fully authorized, by
written instructions from the Department at
Washington, to allow RATS of lumber cut on
government land, to pass without seizure in oil
cases where the owner will, within three months
deposite money in the Land Office sufficient to
enter quarter section of land for every $780,
600 feet of lumber measure so cut on Govern
ment lands"
Our objections to the course pursued by
government have been based upon the fact that
trespasses have been committed only upon lands
which were withheld by government from sale,
the timber upon which was necessary to the
prosperity of the Valley of the Mississippi gen.
orally, and this Territory in particular. The
instructions above quoted, remedies to some
extent, the difficulties with which our lumber
men and the Territory would have been other
wise burdened.
This will answer as remedy by which the
lumber men may clear their lumber that has
been already cut, and is an arrangement that
will doubtless be satisfactory to those interest
ed. 1t is not, however, the proper policy to
be hereafter pursued. If we understand the
law under which the Department acts, it is in
tended to prevent trespass on public lands, and
our views are, that the Department should
bring all the pine lands into market. Allow
the lumbermen an opportunity to purchase the
land they lumber on, and then punish those
who trespass on public lands. Allow no lum-
Der to be cut on lands belonging to govern
ment. Let the Timber Agents act in the
Woods instead of on the Rivers and at the
Mills, and those who have bought their land in
good faith, and cut their timber on their own
lands, will not be subjected to the necessity of
proving their right to run their lumber, after
Inc; u c. are one, two or five hundred miles from
home.
AS we have before said, we do not believe
pine tree would be cut on government lands
in this Territory, if the pine land was in mar
ket, and we hold that as the lumber is necessa-
ry to the settlement Of the country, the lum-
bering interests of the Territory should not be
trammeled by the government, as has been the
case for the last few years. Above all, the
lumbermen should not be subjected to annoy
ances and delays in the prosecution of their le-
gitimate business.
In justice to Col. Irwin and Capt Estes we
extract the following from the Democrat, rela-
tive to their labors at Washington, in behalf
of the lumbermen
"Col. Irwin has labored indefatigablv to
bring about this arrangement. and if we right
y comprehend it, it is sufficiently liberal to all
parties. Col. Irwin also informs US that Capt
Estes was unremitting, during the winter, in
his endeavors to procure modification of his

Prayer.
~ ALFRED rUHYsoN.


Pray for my soul More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore let thy voice
Rise like fountain for me night and day.
For what are men better than sheep or goats
That nourish blind life within the brain,
If, knowing Cod they lift not hands of prayer
Both for themselves and those who call them frisndP
For so the whole round earth is every way,
Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.
The Head and Heart.
BY JOHN G. SAKE
The Head Is stately, calm and wise,
And bears princely part
And down below, in secret lies
The warm impulsive Heart.
The lordly Head that sits above
The Heart that beats below,
Their several Office plainly PROVE
Their true relation show.
The Head erect, serene and cool,
Endowed with Reasons art,
Was set alOft to guide and rule
The throbbng Maynard Heart.
And from the Head, as from the higher,
Comes all directing thought
And in the Hearts transforming fire.
All noble deeds wrought.
Yet each is best when both unite
To make the man complete
What were the heat without the light?
The light without the heatp

REMARKABLE CoINcDENoE.-A correspond
ent of the Petersburg (Virginia) Express, writ
ing from Charlestown, in that State, relates
the following series of incidents, which, if true
are certainly very singular:
washington was accustomed to wear two
seals on his watch--one of gold, and the other
of silver. Upon both of them the letters 'G.
W. were engraved, or rather cut. The seals
he wore as early as 1854, and they were about
his person on the terrible day Of Braddock's
defeat. On that day he lost the silver seal
The gold one remained with the General until
the day of his death, and was then given by
him to his nephew, gentleman of Virginia,
who carefully preserved it until about seven
teen years ago, when, in riding over his farm,
he dropped it, and could never recover it. The
other day, the gold seal, lost seventeen years
ago, was ploughed up, recognized from the
letters g. W. on it, and restored to the son
of the gentleman to whom Washington had
presented it. At almost the same moment,
the silver seal, lost in 1854, just one hundred
years ago. was ploughed up on the site of the
battle in which Braddock was defeated, and in
like manner recognized from the letters sc.
W. so that in a very short time the two com
pauions will be again united. / have this
whole statement from the most reliable source
possible-namely, from the gentleman him
self, who has thus restored to him these pre-
cious mementoes Of his great ancestor. The
affair is but one more proof of an oft stated
maxim, that truth beggars fiction in strange
ness. repeat, there is not the slightest exag
geration or misstatement in the matter, and M
room for mistake. In legal phraseology, eth,
proof excludes every other hypothesis.

INFORMATION OF PAuPERs AND CoSvIcrs.-
The commissioners of emigration are directing
their attention 10 the increasing emigration
caused by the sending of inmates Of European
prisons and poor-houses TO this country. Within
three months, not far from fifty persons, en-
bracing several families, have arrived here,
mostly from Baden, in Germany, and intima.
tons have been received that some Of the Ger.
man governments propose adopting more ex-
tended system of transportation. We have al
ready noticed that several persons Of this class
have been returned TO Europe from Boston.
We have no law in this State by which Euro.
pean paupers, idiots, &C., can be sent back,
without their consent; but they must be main
tanned for the first FIVE years subsequent TO their
arrival hero, at the expense Of the emigration
commissioners, unless their true character Ia
detected, in which case the expense Of their
maintenance can be charged to the consignee Of
the ship bringing them. With convicts, the
case is different; they can be returned.
The method Of proceeding now adopted in
Europe, is to grant pardons TO convicts, on
condition that they shall emigrate to the United
States, and rs they experience little difficulty
in obtaining passports in Germany from the
American consuls, they easily elpde detection
on their arrival here.
Captain Cfabtrse, vice president Of the beard
Of commissioners, has addressed the Depart
ment Of State respecting the matter, requesting
that United States consuls on the European

PRINCE ALBERr's VISIT TO FRAEcE-The
London journals give copious details Of the
grand review Of the French army at Boulogne,
at which the Emperor Napoleon was present,
with Prince Albert, and Of the departure OF the
latter for England. The reception Of the prince
was most enthusiastic; and when he embarked
from Boulogne, the Examinations, FIRE works
and rejoicings were on a very grand scale. A
farewell banquet was given by the emperor, re.
markable for its taste and magni6cence. Az
this banquet the emperor, in proposing the
health ofthe queen Of England, said:
IL have the honor to propose toast: Our
most intimate ally, her gracious Majesty the
Queen OF England; under the two flags OF
France and England, which are as the bow OF
promise TO liberty, the yoke Of the despot viii
presently be broken"
Prince Albert replied
"The kind reception which have found in
ycur empire will never fade from my memory.
/ reckoned confidently on your imperial ma
iesty, but the enthusiasm Of the French people
on my behalf has very much surprised my most
sanguine expectations. Let us hope your au-
gust majesty viii soon CRAFTY us by visiting
the shores OF Albion, where the English peo-
pie, am sure, will be delighted to receive the
|. visit of your imperial majesty"
The entente cordidk between England and
France strikes us as having become of that
kind which homely proverb declares "too
thick to thrive" 1t resembles the undying
friendship Of very young ladies, Of hothouse
growth and doomed to wither beneath the leas,
touch of frost. Nspoleons toast to liberty, and
Prince Albert's invitation to his imperial ma
iesty to visit the shores Of Albion are certainly
curiosities. Bali. American.
