But this is not all. We now owe many
millions Of anuetles to the Indians Ior

Indian treaties, Indian agents. commissions

Indeed, nearly the whole expense OF the
Indian Department is justly charseable TO
the public lands; ant these expenditures
have recently annually exceeded the
amount OF the sales OF land.

How much the public domain has been

SAD PicTURE.-We find in n letter from
the Rev. Mr.. Crumley, the esteemed pastor
of tho Methodist Church of Savannah, to the
editor of the Southern Christian Advocate,
the following mournful picture of the effects
Of the epidemic in that devoted city;
yesterday, followed the last blood kin
of Geo. Whitfield from n garret to the grave.
! will give more of his history at another time,
if Providence permit. How changed is our
beautiful, growing, healthy city, lately full of
enterprise, noise and business. Now it is
nearly depopulated. The long streets are
empty, save a few sad professions which are
seen silently fastening on-there long train
of mourners-here, lone hearse bearing the
dead to the city of silence. And at even-tide
in the public squares, the pride and beauty of
the city, in place of the gay groups that
promenaded tho snow white walks, and the
merry children that romped upon the green
grass, there is tar-fre flaming in the centre,
throwing lurid glare on the surrounding
trees, and spreading abroad a long train of
pitchy smoke that covers the city like
mourning vail"

THE LUNAR WORLD.

Mr.. Champion, in little book entitled
"The Lunar World" draws the following in
teresting picture of the appearance which the
surface of that satellite would present to a
visitor from the terrestrial globe:
"Choose the period of the last quarter, and
direct our way to that dark shadowy spot
marked N in the map, and situated at the
northeast portion of the lunar globe; il is the
Marc Imbrium, or Sea of Showers, rs it is
called, though no water is to be found there
and no shower ever cools or mostens its bar
rem surface. II is about seven hundred miles
in extent every way. Let us cast our eyes
around, and what do we see? boundless
plain or DESERT stretching away as far as the
eye can reach on every side, save In one or
two points, where a chain of lofty mountains
can be perceived, whose brilliant, pointed
submits, glittering in, the sunbeams, just ap-
pear upon the distant horizon. The light
that glares upon the plain is intense, and the
heat of tropical ferceness, for no cloud shell
ters us. BY that light we may perceive, scat
tered over the plain, an infinite number of
circular pits, of different sizes and depths,
varying from few yards to some hundreds

the planet; some of them but few feet, and
Others to an unknown immeasurable depth.
Above the sky is black, out of which the sun
CLEANS like red-hot ball; and the stars
sparkle like diamonds, for no atmosphere like
ours exists to give by its refractive and reflec-
tive powers the delicious blue to its heavens,
and the softened shade to its landscape. The
lights and shades are indented upon its fea-
lures deep and dark, or intensely bright; no
softening away in the distance, no gentle and
beautiful perspective; no lofty twilight, morn
ing or evening, stealing over or away from
the scene. All the shadows are abrupt, sud-
den; all the outlines sharp, clear; appearing
startingly near even when really distant. No
sound follows our football, or is ever heard in
that silent place; for there is no atmosphere
to conduct it; no fresh breeze blows on its
mountain tops, sighs through its burning
deserts, rustles through its brilliant green of
forests, or waves over meadows; the silence of
death broods over its arid wastes and rocky
shores, against which no tides or pillows
break"

INDIANS STARvMG.-Tbe condition of the
Ottoe, and Missouri Indians is indeed deplora-
Bile at the present time. Government having
neglected to comply with treaty stipulations,
those tribes are suffering from the gnawings
of hunger, and have commenced ravaging the
gardens, and plundering the whites sojourn-
ing in Nebraska, of everything they can put
their hands upon. The whites over there all
complied with the demand first made BY the
