THE AVENGER OF BLOOD.

We take the following relic of an ancient custom
still in existence among some Of the Indian tribes
Of our western wilds, from Boynton's "JouyRey
Through Kansas"
A few years since, at the base of an Indian
mound, q chief resided, whose young daughter was
a girl OF uncommon beauty, aud this beauty was
but the external manifestation of a pure and noble
spirit As a matter of course she had MANY ad-
mirers among the young braves of her nation.
Her nature was above the arts of q c~oQuette; and
loving enc among them all, aud only one, she hest
tated not to let her preference be known, not only
to the Young Eagle who had won her heart, but
also to these whose suit she had rejected. Among
the rejected suitOrs one alone so laid it to heart as
to desire revenge lie, the Providing Wolf, was
flied with rage, and took little pains to conceal
his enmity, though he manifested no desire foi
open violence Both these young men were brave

as a yonng savage may feel, the Wolf was reserv

brow seemed, after the maiden had refused him

PROSPECTUS OF THE UNA.

In announcing a new Volume Of this periodical,
we deem it essential to call the attention of the
reading public to the claims it may have upon
them for patronage
The wOmans' rights movement having become
one of SO much Importance as to enlist almost
every variety of character and shade of opinion,
it has been deemed needful that a correct history
of its progress might be preserved; its demands
Itruthfully presented; and its philosophy thor
oughly treated that there should be one periodical
through which those most interested could have
uttcrance.
Political papers or those devoted to special re-
forms are alike ~unsuited to present a question in
volying SO much OF truth as this, one which needs
the fairest the kost candid and careful e~Xamina:

Our paper has been free in it's character admit
ting almost every variety Of opinion and upon all
subjects and this it will continue 10 be.

Peter, Lizzie Linn whose story of marriage the

the New Year and is quite worth the prize of the
paper.

Bursting Of a Mountain.

Prospect Of q Volcano IN Arkansas
We learn from the Fort Smith Herald,
Dec. 18th, that mountain, about five
miles from Waldred, has exploded three
times during the last week. The explo-
sions were very loud and terrific, causing
the earth around to quake, throwing up
stones and earth, and filing the atmos-
phere with clouds of dust and smoke
The report of one of the explosions was
heard in the vicinity of that town few
mornings since a distance of 45 or so
miles. The earth on. the mountain has
sunk to considerable depth The peo-
pie in the vicinity are very much alarm
ed. These are the facts as far as We are
able to learn; but We hope to hear more
fully and particularly in a few days
What does it mean! Are We to have a
volcano in Arkansas, belching forth fire
and smoke, and hurling red hot stones in
the atmosphere, and filling the valleys a.
round with melted laval

County Auditors Rercrt

We lay before the readers of the "Jef-
fersonian" to-day, a statement of the Re-
ceipts and Expenditures of this County,
for the year 1854. We are grati6ed in
being able to state that Monroe is free
from debt, aud that there is balance in
the hands of the Treasurer, amounting to
SI25 553; and about SO, 600 due the Coun-
ty, on the outstanding Duplicates, in the
hands of the different Collectors, which
amount, we have been informed, will be
paid into the Treasury in a very short
time. We have no doubt this fact will be
hailed, by every taxpayer in the county,
with gratitude.
This is the first time since the organi-
cation of the County, that this State of
things has been brought about; and much
credit is due Levi SHUTTER, Esq our worthy
Treasurer, and his able Deputy, Col. Bur
Dett, for the prompt manner in which
they have discharged their responsible
duties.

and wonder at their own stupidity in
being too late.
Some classes of persons coming here
now must, at first, be out of pocket, and
live on their previous means, expecting
to be remunerated in the future. Bat
there is one class of people at least, who
can make money from the time they set
foot on our soil. / mean building me-
chanics, such as brick. makers, brlck-lay-
ers, stone masons, carpenters, plasterers,
&c, and also laborers. They are the
first people neened, and even last season,
carpenters and masons readily command
ed two dollars and half per day, and
laborers 81 ,25 to 81 so, and found. a
perfect legion of them will be needed
early in the spring. Hotels, warehouses,
public buildings, all must be built
Nineteen or twenty towns are laid out,
and must be more or less built up if the
labor can be had. The War Depart
ment will probably expend at least
hundred thousand dollars in stone build
ings. For all this, to say nothing of the
work to be done in erecting farm build
ings, and improving farms, we have, com
paratively speaking, no men. Those who
have taken claims will be engaged IN
doing their own work, and We shall want
large force of men to take at the very
highest wages, the town buildings. In
my opinion, half million OF dollars Will
be spent the next year in that way.
Again the mechanic, or laborer, who
is earning his wages, and laying up mon
ey can, at the same time, mark claim OF
16O acres, which he can pay for before
the lands come into market, and can im-
prove into n farm at his leisure.
4 man can come to St. Louis as half
price passenger for about fifteen dollars,
and at full fare for about thirty dollars.
When the river is open. he can come here
for twelve dollars more, and should be
here by the first of March, which is the
commencement of our spring. We have
had nothing which Pennsylvania would
call winter, as yet, and it seems to be
generally thought, that the same weather
will prevail until spring,

We arc permitted to lay teforc our
.caders the following extract of letter,
rom Gov. REEpER, of Kansas, to a
friend in Stroudsburg. Great induce
nents are held out to laborers, mechanics,
and farmers to emigrate to the new ter
ritory.
SHAWNEE MISSION, Kansas,
December "a, 1854.
Dear SIR Il suppose you are anx-
iously waiting to hear from Kansas. L
have been so necessarily engaged here
that could not write you sooner.
There will be an immense emigration
next spring aud summer, and the spring
will open about the 1st of March. 1t is
beautiful and fertile country; which,
when populated and improved, will be a
perfect garden spot. The climate is a
most delightful one, dry, bracing and
healthy. There are number of instan-
ces of men, whose lungs were affected,
being entirely cured, by trip across the
plains or a residence in the territory.
The winters come nearer to Indian
Summer weather, than any thing else.--
This afternoon We all sat for two hours
out on the porch as comfortably as you
could in September.
There will be an immense number oi
buildings erected here next summer, and
building mechanics OF all kinds will be IN
great demand. Masons and carpenters
commanded So 80 day last season, and
can do at least as we'll next. Laborers to
quarry stone, cut timber, burn lime, make
posts and rails, &C., &c, will be needed
far beyond the supply, and at the best
wages. All is cash here.
Rich and yalutle land can be marked
out, and held until the sale, when they can
be had for 81 25 per acre, that will make
splendid farms. 1 drove past log house
the other day and things looked so nice
and promising, that l stopped to talk to
the man;--found him a Pennsylvania
(of whom by the bye, there are grea
many in the Territory He had jus
dug well, and told me that the rich blacl
loam vas tacenty fve feet deep.
When | have seen those magnifcen
river bottoms, lying waiting to be taken
by any one, who would go on them; ans
the good land here that people turn u
their noses at, and call poor land, I hav'
often thought Of many Of my friends i
Monroe County, who are Shaving them
selves in cold climate, on poor stony
farms, which they clear by hard work
and cultivate by harder, and wished tha
could transport a thousand of them here
gherc their farms are ready cleared; ans
where crop after crop can be raised with
out manure, or even burning the lime
stone aroud them, and where the hard
labor, which at home will only keep bod
ty and soul together, would soon max
them rich. As for the roads they are tb
finest l ever saviour young men wh'
expect to live BY labor and can raise So
! or $40 to land them safely here, with
few dollars in their pockets should nc
hesitate to pack up and leave on the Is
