CongressionaI--Indian War.
WAsBlNeToH, Jan, IS,

WAsHlhuTOng JhH' TO-
SENATE "A message was received
from the President transmitting letter
from the Secretary Of War in refeIen ce
10 Indian hostilities, representing that
vigorous measures and more men will be
required at once to protect emigrants
overland to Cslifornis, and the settlers
along the route.
Mr. Gwin was glad to see the Presi-
dent taking prompt measures upon the
subject. A great many emigrants have
been robbed and murdered ihe last year
along the route to California. As un.
derstand, the President proposes to call
out VOLUNTEERS. Mounted men should
be sent into the field at once and chas.
tise the Indians. We can have such q
body, under the command Of such Off,
GETS as are accustomed to border warfare,
and have prepared measures to get q
"a pid route overland to California; and
hope these troops will be called out at
once and restore safety and security TO
our people along the route.
Mr. Weller. As a member Of the
Military Committee, l shall endeavor tC
get early action upon the recommends
lions OF the President. lfCongress vii
carry out the views at once, they will
do Uuly that which ought 10 have bsel
done long ago.
Mr.. Rask. hope the Government
will also include those who suffer a
their homes from the depiedations Of ln
dians.
The Speaker laid before the House q
message from the President, transmit {

ry of War, relative to the probable re
newsl OF Indian hostilities, and asking

Bottom OF the Comfy Fen Out!


How extremely interesting it is to
hear men prate about hard times, and
the want Of money, &C., inthese days.
We would say to all such gentlemen
that they are certainly hoaxed pretty
bad by being shaved and shorn by In
diana Bankers. Our losses on lndi-
ana paper, especially, is great; but, at
the same time, can not fora moment
believe that the bottom has fell out OF
the country and let all the real wealth
through-no such thing. There is
just as much money in the country now
as ever there was, and little more; all
you have to do is to work for it. II
you are in professional business, attend
to your office; ifa mechanic, your shon;
if farmer, your farm; and our word
for il real money will soon he plenty,
and hard times vanish az the misls OF
the morning before 2 bright sun. Let
US set an honest industrious example 10
posteIlIyj h.And down 10 them a pure
Democratic Government-disconn
ed from Banks and special corpora
tions-and prosperity and happiness
will attend us, nationally and individ-
ually. Do these things and our word
for it we will hear no more croaking
about Hard Times.

Of a N. Workers. Wife
with a South CnrOlinian.

The Sun says that on Tuesday after
noon a merchant in New York, doing a
large business, was waited upon by a
young man at his store, who handed
him letter and Immediately left. Not

able importance, be continued filling an
order which he had commenced when
The letter was put ;nto his hands. As
soon as he got through with his bus siness
he went into his Office and opened the
letter, and found /! was from his wife. /.
1t contained Tile intelligence that she
had that afternoon concluded to leave
his house for ever, and it would he OF no
use for him to .attem pit to search for her,
as she could not be found. The mer
chant. alarmed at the contents Of the
letter, and feaful that she, in o ftof in.
sanity. had taken measures to commit
suicide, hastensd home. There he found
the doors unlocked and no person in
On the table in her room was another
note, similar to that which she had sent
him at the store. All her clothing and
some valuable family relics, tugether
with a small sum Of money kept in the
bureau, were gone.
The thought struck him that she had
eloped, and, with a view Of ascertaining
the tact, In state Of unusual excite
ment. ne went into an adjoining house
and inquired whether they had noticed
anything peculiar going on about his
house that day. No person seemed TO
know anything more than that about one
o'clock carriage stopped there a few
moments and then drove of. They did
not know who was in it, or whether any
person got out or in. He then related
the circumstances Of his position 10 the
lady Of the house, and she informed him.

weeks, h.different times, she had motto

allight and 60 into the house, stopping
there a short time. and then returning
to his carriage. He was advised to 60
into the other adjoining house and make
inquiries there.
He did so, and then learned very
nearly the whole Of the facts of this sim
guIar proceeding. They stated that the
man noticed by their neighbor to enter
his house had been introduced to them
by his vile as Mr.. William Thorn ton,
Of Charleston, S. e., as a relative of his
family, putting up at the Howard House,
and visiting different connections and
acquaintancss in this city. The injured
man Immediately went to the telegraph
office. and had dispatches forwarded to
Boston and Philsdelphia. describing both
parties. with directions to the police to
stop them both if in the cars. He has
always lived pleasantly with his wife.

those modern. midnight, political
knaves in his minds eye, who have at
present the control oil our Banks, and
are now organizing secret political
society, for the purpose Of Matching
out some more whelps of the same sort.
To prove this their object, we quote
below from the late message Of Gov.
BIoLGR OF Pennsylvania; where it is
said offers of $4,000 have been lately
made for votes in favor of Bank char.
tsrs, In Gods name we ask when is
this swindliug of the people to end?--
The Governor says:
"Af extensive increase OF banking capital
and other eIpedients will doubtless, be press
ed upon your attention; but il is hoped that
no such fallacy may find favor. Nor Is there
any sufficient reason Tor the alarm and sensi-
tiyepess manifested in certain quarters, the
real wealth OF the country still exists. and
the aatufal elements Of prosperity are nc
less than heretofore. II is the shadow, moi
the substance that is passing away. The
business community should look the danger
bravely in. the face, and BY their energy, hon
esty aud enterprise, overcome it. Mutual
confidence and fo;bearance should be cherish,
ed by all, as a means Of accomplishing this
desirable end"

METHODIST REvlvAL.-Quite an in.
teresling revival is now going on among
our Methodist friends in this place, un-
der the auspices of Bro. HALL, who
has labored zealously. We sincerely
hope many may be brought 10 that re,
pentance which is alone acceptable to
the Girsr Of all blessings. Pure and
undefled religion, which leads US to
coed morals, correct walk and conduct
through life, and vanishes hypocracy
and other sins from our midst, we hope
will be shed abroad in The hearts OF our
people.
