crit would appear from the following ar

that our friends in low are having a hard
time:

weather for some time past, the wolves IN

folds have been robbed 10 a irightlul extent.
and in several instances the hungry beasts
have not been Inclined ID spare thc human
species.
About three weeks since. "a man returning
from a prayer meeting. accompanied hy his
two daughters, one sixteen and the other
w enty-three years ofage. They were all r.
ding the same horse, when suddenly a pack
of timber wolves assailed them, and, being
unable to escape by flight, they attempted To
defend themselves. But the f@erocious brutca
attacked the horse, rendering him unmanare-
able. The oldest daughter was partly
thrown aud partly dragged To the ground,
and instantly devoured. This enabled the
father and other daughter to escape. Sew
eral neighbors were soon mustered, but upon
repairing to the spot, nothing WAS to be found
but one shoe, and a very few remnants Of the
unfortunate girls clothing.
A boy Of about thirteen years old left his
father's house to get water at a spring which
was about half a mile distant, since which
time nothing has been seen OF him. The
pail was found near the spring; also some
marks of blood, and a lock or TWO oi i,air.-
Several persons have been CHASED by tha

STILL No ~SPEAxER.-Is it right that the
Administration, so largely in the minority,
should still insist on having the Speaker
Docs Democracy consist in the government
of the many by the few? 1t is clearly the
duty of the minority to give way and not
continue to clog the wheels Of government
as they are now doing. For the Republican
anti Nebraska party TO yield, wonld he to
irample under foot the very foundation prin-
ciple of our government. They should
stand. and it is right that they should have
the Speaker.-Cra journal.
The above IS one OF the %silliest paragraphs
we have ever seen emanating from any man
who pretended to the least common sense
If the Administration is so largely in the MI
norsty. how is it possible for them to pgereat
an election? Or, how is it possible for them
to elect? 1t is not expected that a Democrat
would vote for an Abol;tionist, nor is it to be
presumed that 4 minority could elect--espe-
cialiy when they are so much in the minor
itv as are the Democrats in the present Con-
gress. The Black Republicans are response
bic for the delay in the organization OF the
House, and none but fools try to shit that
responsibility upon the shoulders of Others.

"Whom the Gods would destroy they frat

The above quotation has been forcibly ex-
empiided in the management of the Peru &
Indianapolis Railroad during the last lour
months.
At the late election Of Directors, large
promises Of retrenchmont reform, and inn
provemcut were made by the successful can
didates, none Of which, thus far, have been
redeemed.
The road has been taken ont of the hands
Of an efficient Superintendent and placed in
charge of one, who, however honest and well
meaning, had neither the skill nor physical
energy requisite to its efficient management.

Kansas.

Owing to the arrangement Of the mails,
caused by the late snow storms east, the
Presidents message on the condition Of
things in Kansas has not vet arrived. We
perceive that the Free State part, as It is
called in Kansas, annot agree among them
selves on Z State ticket. They have two fall
tickets already in the feld-one supported
by the emissaries of the Emigrant Aid So
ciety of strong abolition tendencies-the
other supported by the emigrants from the
Western aud Middle States, who take the
position on slavery and free negroes assumed
by Indiana in her new Constitution. We
r1iriaEnsd some months ago by a gentle
@1l1r3akansas a year or
lie SAID that The Emigrant Aid
socisty's men, going to Kansas with all the
! ultra and impracticable notions Of the abo-
ition school, would not harmonic with
the western men, whose views. though anti
slavery, were conservative. We perceive
this same gentleman's name on the Free
State ant.-abolition ticket, and We presume
his representation Of the state Of things to be
correct.
This Emigrant Aid Socie. IS operations
nave produced, as yet only evil. No sooner
had tie Nebraska bill passed, thiu the men,
orabls three thousand" who protested
against the BIZ ain the name 1 Almighty
Cod with other fanatics OF lie character
Tor prudence and common sense, organized a
society for sending settlers TO Kantaa. They
picked up persons who had not thsN first, nor
the last qualification for settling anSw coun-
try-Persons of neither the physical nor the
moral character necessary in pioneers MANY
Of them scarcely landed in Kansas before
they turned about and went back. The
most reckless and uneasy, However. remain
ea. ard have contributed quite as much as
have The "borler mfians" of Missouri to
keep mp excitement and disturbar zee in the
country. Had these men in New 1ork and
Kew. England, these f~anatical protagandists
Of abolition sentiments, instead of INTERFERING
in the affairs Of Kansas by sending settlers
there imbuel with the restless and ~fanat;cal
notions Of Boston abolitionists, attea ded only
to their own business at home, We should
have heard nothing Of the i~neEsios Of bor-
der maisns from Missouri, for thase incur
sions would never have been pade- We by
no means approve, nor shall we defend the
acts OF the Missourians, bit we as little ap
prove, and can as little defend the measures
of the Emigrant Aid Society. KANSAS should
have been let alone, to be settled according
70 tho natural laws OF emigration. L would
in that case have been settled by hardy, in
dustrious, quiet citizens, of strong common
sense and moral honesty, and would in due
time have come into the Union, without ex-
element, as a free State, as dill iowa and
California. As it Is, il Kansas ever does be-
come a slave State, it viii be but the result
of the very efforts made by these northern
abolltionists to pre-oceupy the Territory, and
to ~forestall the unbiased decisions Of the le-
gitimate settlers.

6The Louisville Carriers correspondent
AZ Frankfort, states that Hon. A. Ct. TALBOT,
Representative in Congress from the Fourth
District, has been indicted, by two grand ju-
RES, for bfibing voters in the late canvass.
TALBOr IS q Know Nothing and it will
b. remembered that he was only elected BY
a majority Of fifteen votes. It was charged
n the time Of his election, by Democratic pa
pers in his district, that he obtained his cleo
ton By fraud the truth of the charge is now
~substantated By a court of justice. Such is
one Of the phases of the great American party
which was to purify the ballot boxes, aud
put an end to all election frauds.

LET THE Coon WORK PROGREss.-We no
tice that in our n~eighboring State. Ohio, the
Democracy are arousing. The Democrats of
Cincinnati have recently formed themselves
into aa organization called "The Young
Mems National Democratic Association"
with ALEXANDER LoSG. fer President, and
S. A. FERGUSON, for Recording Secretary.
They nave obtained fine rooms, and meet
once each weak for consultation. We trust
the association viii be a centre from which
may 90 forth true democratic influences.
Some portions of Ohio need it sadly.
We notice, also, that the Democratic club
at Muscatine, Iowa, IS in a hourishing condi-
ton, many old Wings and Know Nothih%
Disguised with their former connections, nav
ing recently joined it. The fact is, there are
hundreds and thousands of old Wings every
where who are in truth real Demoerats-at
any rate, on the slavery question, now the
prominent issue-and they ought to have the
manliness to come out boldly and cast their
influence with the only national party in ex-
~istencc.
The Muscatine, (lowa,) Enquirer recon-
mends the formation of Township Clubs all
over that State. We trust it will be done,
and that other States will follow the exam
pie. There is nothing like organization. 1t
IS the only way to render victory certain, and
il we would defeat the plots, plans and trail
torous designs of the Black Republicans, we
must be up and active. The present is no
time for ease and lethargy. The present
battle on the territorial question Is the great
est one the Democracy has ever been called
upon to fight since the organization of the
government. Once under the lead of JEFFER-
SON. it conquered the Federalists at another
under Jackson, it demolished the monied
aristocracy. Shall it now defeat the traitors
TO our constitution? The vigilance of the
Democracy will determine the question.

FIDELITY.-Never fOrsake q friend. When
enemies gather thick and fast around him
when sickness falls heavy on his heart, when
the world IS dark and cheerless, this is the
time to try true friendship. They who turn
from the scene ofdistress, or offer reason why
they should be excused from extending their
sympathy and aid, betray their hypocrisy, and
prove that selfish motives only prompt or
move them. If you have a friend who loves
you-who has studied your interests and hap
piness-defend you when prosecuted and
troubled, be sure to sustain him in his adj
versity. Let him feel that his former kind
ness is appreciated and that friendship was
not lavished on you for naught.
Real fidelity may be rare, but it exists sin
the heart. Who has not seen and felt Its
power? They only envy its worth and pow
er who have never loved a friend, or latored
to make one happy. The good, the kind,
the affectionate and v%irtuous, see and feel
this heavenly principle, for heavenly it is; il
is the fruit gathered from n sacred germ i'm
planted by heaven in mans bosom.
And true fidelity has its reward. It may
be sighted by some, overlooked BIZ others:
but pure-minded men cultivate and cherish
a fond and undying love for it.
As the diamond is found in the darkness oil
the mine, as the lightning Shoes with the
most vivid flashes from the darkest cloud, so
does fidelity proceed from a heart susceptible
to the calls of deepest melancholy, and
shows itself brighter and stronger in the adj
versity of a friend.-Mrro Of the Times.

Report Of the General ia Chief of the u. 6
Army.


Army.
General Scott, in his annual report 10 the
Secretarv Of War, comments the recent acts
of Congress charging the monthly pay of the
rank and file of the army, and giving them,
through the grade Of sergeant, eligibility to
commissions. He hopes the addition of the
four new regiments will give adequate num-
bers to subdue the Indians in actual hostility,
and afford reasonable protection to every
frontier against their future d~epredaiions. Al
increase of general officers IS stated to be a
want very sensibly felt throughout the army;
and General Scott suggests one additional
sIsior General and two additional Brigadier
Generals. 10 make, with the two Brigadiers
ofcthe line already in commission, fire com
manders for the geographical departments OF
The army, with six other Brigadier Generals
for chiefs Of the Adjutant Generals Depart
ment, the corps OF Engineers, the corps of
Typographical Engineers, the Ordinance De
partment, the C0mmisssrist of Subsistence,
and the Pay Department, respectively. Jus
tioe, symmetry, and the good Of the service"
says General s, appear equally to demand
these additions" The improvement of the
efficiency Of the body Of commissioned off
GERS generally By a retired list, as we'll as by
augmented compensation, Is, in the opinion
Of the Commander-in-Chie "a measure Of
demOnstrable necessity" The report closes
with recommendations for-l. Revision of
the rules and articles for the government of
the armies Of the United States"-drticles Of

army, placing them on the same footing with
those Of the navy and, 3. Change in the
