Nothing did me any good until got Rhodes Fe-

News important.
The Indians in Oregon continued their at
tacks on the whites, they had captured the
Steamer Mary on the Columbia, killed a
large number of citizens at the cascades, de-
stroying the town, and at last accounts were
fighting with the forces at the Block House
at Cornhils Prairie in Washington Territory.
The volunteers had skirmish with the In
dams killing 40 and routing the remainder.
Mining accounts promise as large a yield
as last year.
Ex-senator Foote has withdrawn as the
American candidate for Senator of the u. S.
The drouth which has prevailed through
out California for months had given place to
copious showers of rain in the southern coun-
ties. In is feared the pasturage will be in
sufficient to sustain the cattle during the
summer.
1t is said the Mormons are making re-
connoissance of Colorado River with view

Another strong movement has been made

Francisco and the Russian possessions. The

GS" That the Peace, which has recently
been concluded in Europe, may affect con-
slderably the business of this country, all
agree; but whether favorably or not, is
questioned. That it will reduce the price
of breadstuffs, is certain, and that can injure
no one. The price of wheat, of late, has
been too high: it has been out of healthy
proportion to the other products of the coun-
try, and stimulated to the establishment of a
false standard for the valuation of real estate.
Such price, whilst it seems a present profit
to the farmer, always has a bad influence
1t tends to drive producers to a reliance upon
that crop alone, which is one of the most UNI
certain raised,-this year enriching by its
abundance, and next year impoverishing by
its total failure. The fly, the rain, the heat,
all animals and weathers, can destroy it
Mt particular seasons. When plentiful and
in demand, it creates an unreal property
when cut off or low priced, it produces e.
tensive embarrassment. A more varied Gull
ture, exclusive dependence upon no one crop,
but a jndicious intermixture of all adapted
to the soil and climate, is the true policy of
our Agriculturalists.
But save in lowering the price of bread,
land there are more eaters than creators of
it in the land, and that it can fall below a
remunerating price no one expects, how does
peace hurt us? Our projected public i'm
provements, which, while they employ much
industry now, will open new supplies and
subjects of more, will be able to command
that foreign capital which the apprehensions
of the owners or the mandates of the gov
eminent locked up during hostilities. True,
our tunnage may be withdrawn from the
transportation of men and munitions of war
to the Crimca; but largely increased
amount of it will not meet the call which
pacific nations, intercbanging products, will
make.
A war like that just closed, really benefits
no one. Russia has derived from it one ben
eft, indeed. She has been taught that mill
tary discipline,-military appliances Of all
kinds,-cannot extend her dominions, or sus-
tain her in remote theaters Of action. Her
country must be developed, -intersected with

CENSUS REPORT OF OTTAWA TOWNSHIP
According to census recently taken, the
population of this township was, on the 18th
of April last, 957 OF the number SOP
were Hollanders, 276 Americans, IL colored,
all others 16S.
The whole number of families was 2O2.--
These were composed as follows: Of Amer
leans, SIS; Hollanders, ITO; Colored, 8; all
others, "a.
The number of deaths from April Is,
1855, to April Is, 1856, was 20; the num-
Der of births, 40. The deaths were mostly
among the children of foreigners.
Of this population the number living in the
village was 667, as follows: Americans, 243 !;
Hollanders, 337; Colored, 4 all others, SO.
In May, 1854, the population of the town
ship was 684. Since that time slice of
our territory has been given to Holland, and
also the new township Of Robinson has been
formed. The area of the township has thus
been lessened more than one half. To the
portion taken from us there has latterly been
considerable emigration, and it is safe to
say that the population of the territory which
constituted the township in May, 1854, has
nearly or quite doubled within the last two
years.

Sabbath, if not in the transactions of ordi-
nary business, at least in pleasures and amuse-
ments wholly inconsistent with the spirit Of
the day; but to our happy disappointment,
we found goodly congregation in attend
ance, who seemed to engage with interest in
the duties of the occasion, with degree of
decorum and seriousness greatly commenda-
bic in the opinion of stranger, if we except
few boys sitting in a remote corner of the
room, who, in that retired position, no doubt
considered themselves privileged to whisper
and laugh to the serious annoyance of those
in proximity.
The services were performed by the Rev.
VIM. M. FERRY-the pioneer Minister Of the
Grand River Valley, who for more than
twenty years, as we are informed, has minis
tered in holy things to the people of your
village, and who is one of our thorough-going
New England doctrinal divines, and reasons
upon the great truths of the gospel in man
ner that, properly needed, cannot fail to pro
duce the desired beneficial influence upon
community.
The singing accompanied by the sweet
tones Of the melodeon SO admirably played
by Professor HUBBARD, was most excellent
Your village can indeed boast of choir, un-
surpassed probably in musical talent and skill
of performance by that Of any other place Of
equal size in the State. The chorister, Mr.
T. w. WHITE, is well worthy the position he
enjoys, and calculated to inspire the whole
choir with the true spirit of pleasing and
profitable church music.
We noticed many young misses and sew
eral lads of dozen years and upwards, whose
intelligent countenances, fine musical ex-
preston Of eye, and good chronological de-
velopement of Time and Tune, we should
suppose, would entitle them to a seat in the
choir, but who took no part in the pleasing
exercise of singing. Would itnot add much
to the interest of the church services, if these
could be induced to unite with others in
singing joyful praises to the Creator, in the
sweet simplicity Of youthful innocence.
AFTER the services of the morning were
concluded, we felt ourselves privileged to re-
main during the hour devoted to the Sab
bath school exercises; and it was pleasing to
see SO many children and youth assembled
under the superintendence of Mr.. H. GRIFFIN,
and engage so heartily in the exercises Of the
occasion. We opine many very valuable
truths are there treasured up weekly, that
will in future years, produce happy influence
upon community, in respect to moral worth
and integrity.
Judging from the report read by the Su-
perintendent of the attendance and progress
of the pupils, we should think the school in
a very fourishing condition, and one in which
parents as well as teachers and pupils take
great interest.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, if a stranger and
a native of those States wishes to en- Joy the
quiet, and interesting exercises of a New
England sabbath, during sojourn in your
village, he can do SO, and almost imagine
himself again amid the rugged hills and
quiet valleys of his childhood's home.
