The Pen and the Sword.

No county recognizes 10 a greater ex.
tent the fact that the pen is mightier than
the sword, than the United States. Upon
our extreme frontiers, among hostile In
dians. the printing press is found, and
when our armies invaded Mexico the
printer was as necessary an arm of the
public service, as The flying artillery, sap
pers. miners. or Texan Ranger. By this
means our people have been kept better
informed on army operations than any
other belligerent nation, and the English
Press acknowledges The fact. Speaking
Of Military Literature 1.-The chronicles OF
the camp and the control of,he pen over
the achievements of the sword.--the Lon
don Atheneum makes q concession and
contrast. by saying:
American papers are reinarking on The
absence of all literary efforis in the Cri.
mea. and are there in mixing every much
10 their own glory---a Characteristic diff
ference between the surroundings of an
American and OF an English army. The
contrast is fair The self-lsudation is no;
unjust. Our readers know that hen the
Yankees marched into Mexico they car
ried with them printing press, and pub.
lished newspaper along the line Of in
vnsion.
Across prSiries. through dangerous pas
ses, over mountain ranges. sometimes on
mules, oftener on mems shoulders, occas-
ionally in wagons, travelled press. pa per
type and ink---editors, contributors and
pressmen--6ghting. foraging. writing on.
ward. Infinite were the uses of the press.
1t carried orders through the camp. Ev.
cry morning the soldiers read in it the
story of the previous day. 1t anticipa-
ted the gazettes. 1t disse minated orders
of she day, it perpetuated the gossip o!
the camp; reflected public opinion in the
army; made known every want; supplied
every information; exercised. inspired,
and animated every heart. Had lhv Amer.
leans been in the Crimea, they would
have had daily papers at Balaklava, Eu.
paroria, Yenikale and Constantinople;
and these papers, rejecting the humors,
inc idents, and life Of the camp-would
have ranked among the best historics
documents on the war. AS it is, our
soldiers in the Crimea are indebted 10
the London journals for authentic inlor-
ma tion of what occurs in the camp itseli
and within a mile or two of their own
tents. Jonathan is ahead of US in some
respects

INDrASs IL lEDiANA.--.Joh Bowling.
Esq. Indian Agent, who has recently vis-
tied the Miami Reserve, where he paid
off the Indian aunuities. gives the reTre
Haute Journal some interesting inlorms'

Last year there were PSI Mianis in this
State. and this year there are only 26l.
exclusive of FIVE who have ilined their
brethren West, showing an actual de-
crease, calculating births and deaths. OF

the sa me ratio of decrease, this once proud
and naughty tribe will in less than
quarter of centuary more become ex-
iinct, in case those West decreases in the
same proportion. This is a melancholy
picture. but it is TO be hoped that last
year will prove an exception, and thai.

increase like their white neighbors.--
Most Of them are sober and industrious,

aware of the necessary Of sobriety and
systematic industry to .heir preservation

Besides the 26I M;amies proper. there
are IL Eel River Miamies who are enli-

BORROWING TRoUBLE-The newspaper

of the propensity OF some people 10 be
distressed at imaginary evils:
Borrowing is bad thing at best but
borrowing trouble is perhaps the most
foolish investment Of foreign capital thai
a man or woman can make. An anus.
ing instance of this species of operation
is sat forth in down east paper. wherein
a man thus related his experience in o f.
nancial way on the occasion OF failure
of local bank.
AS soon as heard of it. my heart
Jumped right into my mouth. Now.
thinks !, 'sposin I've got any bills on lha;
bank! I'm gone if l hev--that's q fact'
So put on m. coat and put for homo as

looked keerlulIy and found that hsdn't

Then felt easier
There have been a thousand instances
of borrowing trouble when it was rot q
whit better secured than ia the present
example.
