have no sort Of objection to this. On the
other hand, if your business is confined 10
CELLARS and 6ack-rooms. when clever people

Therefore, lawyers ought to advertise
What their business does comprise
And doctors, too, should name their pills
For cv'ry ache and fleshly ills;
Nor should the merchant be behind
For he it is that wants to find,
Around his counters all the while,
Customers of every age and style.
And so we might, of ev'ry trade,
Where money is want TO be made,

&c Toll for the Brave.o


There is yet war in the world! Brave men
are rallying to the sound of arms and though
we may be far distant from the field of contest
yet we feel a deep interest in a struggle. the
termination of which may influence the desti-
MES of the world.
News from the great Eastern tragedy is now
eagerly devoured at every foreign arrival. The
curtain has just fallen upon scene of SURPRISING
interest. At the siege of Silistria fell brave
men-both Turks and Russians But our SYM
patty should always be with the right, of what
ever nation, whatever faith. The fall Of MUssA
PAsHA, the noble Turkish cheftain, will elicit
far more attention and regret than that of all
the opposing victims. The disciple of Mahom-
ct, though often cruel and barbarous, dies with
heather prayer on his lips, and awakens a
sympathy for his cause throughout the world
which his falling foes fail to command.
But let US beware lest we be led away by our
sympathy and our country become involved in
'cntangling alliances that may prove fatal
to our own independence.

TRAVERSE, July IL, 1854.
MEssRs. EDIToRs,--I drop you line to mere
ly call the attention of our officials to the con
diton of the Indians here, their conduct now
and what we may reasonably expect in future
They are now here in swarms, and daily com
ing in from the Reserve, aud I presume in a
few days we will have the most of those
belonging to the upper bands at this place
They say there is nothing for them to eat, and
they have determined to live off the whites
and already have they commenced operations
which promise source Of trouble that is, they
are digging up our young potatoes that are
not larger than quail's eggs. Our crops are
very promising indeed, both corn and potatoes.
and presume there will be enough of them
here to destroy more than one half of the crops
raised this summer ifthey are left here.
Now, what is to be done? Are we to sub
nit quietly to these dcpredations? Can we, af
ter enduring the hardships and rrivations Of a
frontier life, see the fruits of our labors destroy
Have our agents forgotten this part Of their
charge? Have they not repeatedly assured us
that we should not be annoyed any longer by
them? Have they not ample means to supply
them with something to subsist upon, without
letting them destroy our hard-earned crops?
Maj. Murphy told me yesterday that he had
used all the means in his power to get them
away, and as last resort he thinks the Co
vernon will have to dispatch the troops here to
remove them; and if this is to be the only re-
sort, for goodness sake, let us have them i'm
mediately, before they all get here, and before
our crops are maturcd.
From what 1 can learn, and what is said.
believe our citizens will not quietly submit to
this wholesale robbery. but will defend their
rights, if it has to be done by shooting down
all they can catch in in their fields. We do
hope this will not be DONE and that the Cover
nor will act in this matter with his accustomed
energy, promptness, decision and good judg-
ment, () and that We may be spared the sight
of starving Indians or mutilated bodies, caused
by the action of those who are only maintain
ing their natural rights, guaranteed to them
by their fathers, who bequeathed to them the
richest legacy that ever was given to children
by any parent-our Constitution" May that
God who rules over the destinies of men and
nations avert it, by directing the controlling
powers in the way that will be the most effect
ual in accompanying this great end.
Respectfully, S.
