We were walking few days siace upon
the banks al the nobla Missouri, on the Ne-
braska side, meditatlng upon the past aud
anticipating the tutRye, when our attention
was attracted by form which sat rccllaing
upon the old trunk of n fallen tree that
lenr. long aao stood najcstlcally upon the
border of the river. We soon perceived
that il was the form Of one OF our "Ted
brethern,n who seemed lost III revere, and
doubtless would have suffered Us to pass
unnoticed, but for our having acecsted him,
which we did in a very friendly manner
After we shook hands, he gazed upon US
steadily for few moments, and then burst
into tears We said in our thoughts, "poor
fellow why is it, that YOU weep. Have You
mistaken our smiles for ;rowns, or has some
secret woe filed thy heart with sadnessr'
We inquired into the cause Of his distress
which he partially described in such broken
language as to be almost unintelligible. -
We listened to his tale, which was charac-
terized by iha; simplicity and pashos that
uiyes so much interests 10 the complaints
Of the Red man. lie pointed toward the
land far, far across the prairie which i de-
signed BY our Government TO be the future
home o.ihe Omahas and Ottoes, aud then
glanced over the beautiful prairie that sur
rounded US He wept again, We read the
cause of his sorrow in his very eounteHanee,
and felt that each tear that fell from his
eve upon the wild grass, was tribute to
departing hope. He felt that he was about
to leave the home tina, to bin was 80 dear,
10 seek place in the midst ot a wild eoan-
try far, far away What lesson was here
taught the white man. Behold the poor
untutorea savage eviacing patriotism 50
worthy OF emglatiaa--a loye OF home
that cannot be appreciated save by
those who possess true hearts and whole
souls.
When we returned home our reflections
rested for some Ime upon tie incident
We have mentioned, and though our SYM
pathy was excited almost IL sadness. we
felt tha, We should profit By @ha, we had
witnessed.
We wish that those Of cur countrymen
who are tryingto barter away our liberties,
destroy the tranquility Of the country. and
render our homes desolaie for the establish

THE Rock ISLAND BgIpGE,-The St.
Louis Republican is down Oh the project Of
building a bridge across the Mississippi at
Rock Island, but it is evident the arguments
Of the Republican are directed by selfshness
and one sided views. II objects to the
building Of the bridge, not because it would
be an infringement of the general laws and
interests Of commerce, but because II this
precedent is established other bridges will
be built across the Mississippi and also over
the Missouri river, thus presenting an un-
disturbed chain of railways across the coan-
try north of 81. Louis and thereby d.vcrting
the rich currents af commerce she has 81

We have frequently spoken OF the I'M

will center at Cairo upon the completion oi
the Illinois Central Railroad, and OF the ne
ccssitv, which will result, of establishing
regular packet steamers from that city TO
New Orleans, as well as TO points On the
upper rivers. 1t seems that the managers
Of the Michigan Central and Illinois Cen,
.ral roads are aware of this necessity, and
have already unitedin an endeavor g con-
s,ruct line ef steamers between New Or
leans and Cairo.
A gentleman connected with the above
railroad lines, we understand, has been at
st Louis preparing 10 make arrangements
for the necessary steamers. Nothing las
vet been fully decided upon, but probably.
shortly will be. The boats, OF course, Will
be OF The larges, tonnage and dimensions,
and will Be 50 arranged as. TO afford speed,
