(which fact Of itself is proof sufficient that
the animals necessary to pack provisions
for the army could also live), their entire
stock could be taken from them, and the
Indians driven into the mountains, where
they would either have TO starve, or come
IN and deliver themselves mp as prisoners of
war As soon as the Indians cattle and
horses are taken from them, the Indians
themselves are whipped, for they will stand
and fight for them stock, and under no
other circumstances, unless sure Of victory.
In the summer the mountains are full Of
little valleys, in which not only themselves
can live but their stock also, and that too
where it is impossible for the whites to fol-
low with any hope Of success. To be sure,
We may garrison and hold the country, but
had it not been for the acts OF the vOlun-
tecrs this winter there would have been no
country left by next spring worth holding
Had the Indians not been Kept busy by
the volunteers during this winter, don't
believe there would have been n honse
standing upon its foundation throughout
this entire country, unless it stood within u
short distance of some of our larger towns.
But this is sufficient. A candid state
ment Of the facts as they really exist is all
the people of these Territories wish placed
before the public, and then they are willing
to abide the decision, be it favorable or
adverse to their action. | forward you

Rumor says that money has been left in
this country by some of the citizens Of Cali

dence of the people in regard to its being

is not the disposition Of the citizens of

that there is great uneasiness and uncer
tainty amongst the creditors in that city,
concerning the shape in which the Texas
debt bill was passed by the Texas legisla-
ture. No copy Of the act has yet been re-
ceived, but rumor prevails that it con
tains proviso to the effect that rcnunci'
alton by the state of Texas is not to be
construed to affect the right of citizens to
apply to congress for indemniiication fol

SEPARATING THE SEXES IN ScHooL.-On
this point, Mr.. Stowe, o celebrated Glas-
gov teacher, uses the following language /:
The youth of both sexes of our Scottish
pesantry, have been educated together,
and as q whole the Scots are the most
moral people on the whole face Of the globe
Education in England is given separately,
aud We have never heard from practical
men that any benefit has arisen from this
arrangement. Some influential individuals
there mourn over the prejudice on this point
In Dublin larger number of girls turn
out badly, who have been educated alone
until they attain the age Of maturity than
Of those who have been otherwise brought
up-the separation of the sexes has been
found to be injurious. In France the sepa-
ration of sexes has been found to be posi-
lively injurious. 1t is stated on the best
authority, that Of those girls educated in
the schools Of converts apart from boys,
the great majority go wrong within a
month after being let loose on society, and
meeting the other sex. They cannot, it is
said, resist the slightest compliment or fiat
terry. The separation is intended to keep
them strictly moral, but this unnatural Sc
clusion actually generates the very princi-
pies desired to be avoided.
We may repeat that it is impossible to
raise girls as high, intellectually, without
boys as with them and it is impossible to
raise boys morally as high without girls.
The girls morally elevate the boys, and the
boys intellectually elevate the girls. But
more than this, the girls themselves are
morally elevated by the presence of boys,
and boys are intellectually elevated by the
presence Of girls. Girls brought up with
boys are more positively intellectual by the
softening influence of the female character.
In the Normal Seminarya at Glasgow, the
most beneficial effects have resulted from
the more natural course. Boys and girls,
from the age of two to three years to four
teen and fifteen have been trained in the
same class rooms, galleries and play
grounds, without improperly, and they
an dnever separated except at needlework.

HS- We copy the following account of the late in
formal wool gathering at Pittsburg, from the San
Francisco Herald of March %. From what is con
taned Of their proceedings, given below, infer
that the doctrine enuncatcd in the infammatory
speeches Of the lovers of kky hair must have been
infamous-iust exactly such as has teaded to create
all the difficulties in Kansas. The day of doom for
the abolition arch-tratols Is close at hand.

The Black Republicans held an Informal
Convention at Pittsburg, Pa, on the 22d
of February, for the purpose of efrecting
national organization, and providing for a
National Delegate Convention for the nomi-
nation Of candidates for the Presidency and
Vice-Presidency of the United States. The
meeting was called to order by the Chair
men Of the State Republican Committees of
Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, In
diana and Wisconsin. Horace Greeley
addressed the Convention, counselling ex-
treme caution in their movements-the
Federal forces were in the hands of their
implacable enemies. He concluded by
detailing the wrongs Of the free citizens of
Kansas under what he termed the tyranny
Of the slaveocracy. Joshua r. Giddings
next addressed the Convention, and ridi-
culed the idea Of quiet measures. Mr..
Lovejoy, of Ohio, said that the places Of
those patriots who were about to be shot
down in Kansas would be supplied by other
freemen. lie was willing to 60, either as
captain or q private. He would rather
be there wsltering in blood than see q set

He would use Sharp's rife and fire with
good aim. They should put down border
rufians men should go to Kansas armed
and equipped for war to the knife-hit, if it
must be so. Eight Southern States, three
Territories, one District and twelve North
ern States were represented in the Conven-
ton. The Southern States were Texas,
Kentucky, Missouri, Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, South Carolina and Tennessee.
On the night of February 25th mass
meeting of Black Republicans was held in
the same city to aid in the emigration to
Kansas of these desiring to enlist in that
country.

POET q "
THE TOAST.

The feast is o'erl Now brimming wine
In lOrdly cup is seen to shine
Before each eager guest;
And silence fills the crowded hall,
As deep as when the herald's call
Thrills in the royal breast.
Then up arose the noble host,
And smiling cried /: d" A toast toast!
To all our ladyes fair;
Here, before all, pledge the name
OF staunton's proud and beauteous dame,
The LAdye GundAmere1'
Then 10 his feet each gallant sprung,
And Joyous was the shout that rung
As Stanley gave the word;
And every cup was raised on high,
Nor ceased the loud and gladsome cry,
Till stanley's voice was heard.
/" Enough, enough" he smiling said.
Aud lowly bent his naughty head;
That all may have their due,
Now each In turn must play his part,
= And pledge the ladye Of bis heart,
Like gallant knight and trueF'
Then one by one each guest sprung up
And drained In turn the brimming cup,
And named the loved ones name;
And each, as hand on high he raised,
His ladye's gnoe or beanty praised,
Her oOnstancy and fame.
IT'S now 81. Leon's turn to rise;
On him are hxed those countless eyes;
A gallant knight Is he;
Enviad BY some, admired by all,
Forfamed In ladye's bower and hall,
The flower Of ehivalry.
81. Leon raised his kindling eye,
And Lifts tue sparkling cup Oh high:
=" drink 10 Ons," be said,
"Whose image never may depart,
Deep gTaves on this grateful heart
TIL memory be dead.
"To one whose love for me shall last
When lighter passions long have passed,
30 holy 'tis and true
To one whose love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply mixed, more kee1ly felt,
Than any pledged by YOU"
Eeaeh guest upstarted at the word,
And laid hand upon hs sword,
With fury-asshing eye,
And Stanley said We crave the name,
Proud knight, Of this most peerless dame,
