'What a mighty procession has been marching
toward the grave during the p'st year. At
the estimate, since the first Of January, 1853,
more than g 10000 of the worlds population
have gone down to the earth again. Place
them in long array, and they will give moving
column of more than thirteen hundred to every
mile of the globes circumference Only think
of it; ponder and look upon these astonishing
computations! What spectacle, as they ''moye
on tramp, tramp. tramp-forwardl upon this
stupendouS dead march
Life is short and time is heeting
And our hearts, tho strong and brave,
Still. like mui1ed drums are beating
Funeral marches to the gravel"

An Indian on Lging.-The Chattaraugus
Wing states that a suit was recently brought
before a magistrate in the village of Randolph,
and during its progress an Indiap was brought
forward to testify. His blank, expressiOnless
face, and the general unmeaningness of his
whole demeanor gave rise to a serious doubt in
the mind of the "court" as to the admissiblity
of his testimony. Accordingly he was asked
what the consequence would be if he should tell
a falsehOod while under oath. The countenance
of the Indian frightened little as he replied
in solemn tone, 'Well, if tell lie, guess
be put in jail-a great while may be. Bime-
by | die-and then Iketch Il agaiH!" The wit
ness was permitted to proceed.

The democratic papers are making quite a
noise over the letter of Ex-senator Clemens to
the President. explaining the report Of con-
versation Mr. c. had with Gen. Pierce in rela-
ton to the Nebraska bill. 1t is declared a COM
plete vindicalion of the course Of the President,
and that it places him before the American
people in such position as cannot be -i.isun-
derstood or misrepresented. 1t is claimed for
the President that, by this explanations, he is
made to occupy truly national ground. Now,
we have read attentively and carefully both of
Mr.. Clemens letters, and we can not see how
his explanation betters the matter at all. The
President calls his attention to one sentence
in his first letter and itmates that he might
have Inexperienced him on that point. To
the other and more offensive portions of that
letter no reference is made and no explanation
is asked; by implication, then, we may conclude
that Mr.. Clemens has reported the President
eorrecfly;so that he considers the bill offered
by NJ. Douglas as a proposition i'll favor of
freedom" and believes that If it passes no more
slave States will be received into the Union
even If we absorb the whole territory Of Mexico.
These views are undenied. Then we may infer
from Mr.. Clemens last letter, that the President
holds to the doctrine of "squatter sovereignty"
which the whole South repudiated when Gen.
Cass was the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency. IF such be the case, we do not see
how even Southern democrats can still hold up
Gen. Pierce as a national man. Raleigh Star.
