Fillmore and DonelsOn.

The following incident is related to us BY
gentleman who happened to be present when
Mr. Fillmore visited the Hermitage as he passed
through this section Of country after the close
of his Presidency. He called, after leaving tho
Hermitage, and spent several hours with Major
Donelson, who had prepared q collation., Of when
many of the neghbors partook. In the course
of the evening, Major Donelson, after advertlpg
to the fact, that he had once bitterly opposed
Mr.. Fillmore, having looked upon him as the
head of party which stood on platform un'
safe for the institutions of the South, stated 70
his friends and neighbors that he was happy TO
have such an opportunity as this of expressing
his conviction, that he had done his dlstin'
guished guest, who had just left, great ipJustce'
1t was now manifest that Mr.. Fillmore was .
far more reliable friend of the constitution"
rights of all sections of the Union than MI
Pierce, for whom he, Mr. Donelson, had vosea.
Time had shown that Mr.. Pierce was the patron
of the ultratists who had so bitterly opposed .us
Compromise Measures, as final settlement Of .ne
slavery question. 1t was also now evident 'na'
Mr.. Fillmore, in standing by that settlement
had brought upon himself the wrath ofthe h'en'
er law men Of the North. Under such cireuln'
stances Mr.. Donelson said, he was reaoy
make all the amends in his power, and that % %
he had helped his Democratic friends " P.,'
down the administration of Mr.. Fillmore, 10 J.
would say to them that he was ready to Dunu :"
up again: and as an earnest of his intenhon0'
he would now propose as toast, az Ills WV
house and at his own table:
Millard Fsllnore-The people will make n' u
President in 1856, as they did Gen. jackson ~
1928, and 1882 He s true to the CONSTITUTE.

has shamefully surrendered both to the keeping

Late from Oregon.

The New Orleans papers have received dates
from Oregon to the 9Th Of March. The Orego-
MAN Of the latest date says, that by an arrival
from Walla Walla Valley, it is learned that the
troops are in good health, and only awaiting
for supplies. The Indians are encamped on the
Columbia river, near where the Snake river
flows in. About two thousand Indians intended
to make stand on the latter river. The Snake
Indians have joined the conspiracy with one
thousand warriors. About two thousand are
located elsewhere.
It was expected that the great battle would
occur on the LIST or 9Th Of March. The volun-
teers had obtained boats and cannon from the
Hudson Bay Company, at Vancouver, to aid
them; and decided victory, it was thought,
would end the war.
The steamer Wasco, while ascending the Col
umbia river, between the Cascades and the Dali
les, was fired into by the Indians, who were
collected in large numbers on the north side Of
the river, opposite the mouth Of Dog river.
An express was sent to Vancouver for aid
against the Indians, who were approaching the
heart of the settlements. They had driven the
settlers from their homes to take refuge at o.
ympia, which is barricaded.
A large body of Indians attacked the town Of
Scattles, on the 26th Of January, but were re-
pulsed after the death of two white men. The
sloop-of-war Decatur, did considerable service
BY throwing shells into the Indian camp, and
aided materially in holding the Indians at bay.
The q. 8. steamship Massachusetts, was at
Steiiacoom when last heard from. There are
now three o. 8. men-of-wsr on the sound to
old in protecting the country from being over
run by the Indians
Capt. Benjamin Wright, Indian agent At Port
Oxford, and some twelve or fifteen other white
men, were m&ssacred BY the Indians, near the
mouth Of Rogue river.
In the South the Indians are carrying every
thing before them. The volunteers have neither
food, clothing, horses, ammunition or anything
else.
At Puget Sound, . battle was had with the
Indians, on the END, in which they we're de-
feated.

BRANDY FROM CoAL.-Some French Yankee
at Pottsville, Pa. proposes to distil brandy from
bittuminous coal, and in this way: Coal gas is
first distilled in the ordinary way, and con-
cent. of heterogeneous bicarbon in q gaseous
state, which is separated therefrom-rather a
complicated affair-and introduced into closer
vessel, containing sulphuric acid; the vessel is
agitated until the acid absorbs the gas. Water
is then mixed with it, and the whole distilled for
alcohol, which the experimentalists confidently
say can be produced.
What an idea! To think of calling for glass
of Cumberland" or Lehigh," with or with
out sugar.

Lafourche Bridge.

A plan of the intended bridge across the La
fourche, at this point, has been submitted, and is
now on exhibition ut the postoffce. This really
looks as though the projectors Of this important en-
prise lat least to Thibodaux) intend to do some
thing in reality 1t is well, and we sincerely hope
that the undertaking will not be suffered to lag
from the want Of funds to carry it into immediate
effect We learn that between fourteen and fifteen
thousands dollars towards the capital stock of the
company have been subscribed, and that sufficient
amount to complete the sum necessary for the con-
struction of the bridge can be easily raised
The main bridge, agreeably to the plan submitted
by Messrs Bayley and Nelson, is one hundred and
lightweight feet in length, with an approach on
either side Of seventyfve feet by fourteen feet in
width. The bridge is of the HoWe's patent truss
kind-pivot, with an opening Of seventy-nine feet
for the passage Of boats. The main bridge rests
on solid pier Of masonry from low water mark,
which rests on pile foundation.
We are requested to state that the company are
now ready to receive proposals for the work,
either as whole, with brick pier, with wooden
pier, or for the bridge separate and distinct from
the pier. In other words: proposals will be en-
tertained-frst for constructing brick pier as
per plans and specifications; second for construct
ing the bridge without the pier; third, for COM
pleting the bridge with wooden or brick pier.

ANONYMOUS CoMMUNIcArIoNs.-T are a
number of communications resting in the hands
of the editor of the Educational Department"
of personal character, which cannot be adj
mitted. We have always thought that individ
uals who can stoop to indecent personalities
and fragrant abuse, through the medium Of the
press, under an assumed name, lack moral
courage, the GROWING beauty of manhood, to
substantiate their charges when brought face to
face with the person whom they attack.
We will here state that the editor desires. and
will be happy to receive from any individual,
communications pertaining to scientific, literary
or educational subjects; but so long as he has
charge of these columns, he will ever ignore per-
sonalties in whatever shape presented, unless
the full name Of the writer accompanies them
