Indian Tribes on the Pacific.

We have had before US for some days

sentatives on the 3lst ult., on PROPOSE

Letter from MILE Rachel.

correspondent Of the Independence Beige
writing from Paris, March l4tb, gives a copy of a
letter from Mile Rachel to Paris journalist who
had started rumor of her intended marriage,
which we translate follows:
81 have heard it saIG by number of intelligent
people that bad treatment by the press is often
worth more than its silence or oblivion therefore
come to thank you for the remembrance that you
have given ME in the. But why, my dear
friend, have you employed yourself for so long
time with rumors Of marriage which you invent
only for the purpose Of blaming me? Why do you
undertake such useless work! / have two sons
that adore | am thirty.two years old according
70 the record Of my birth-fity according TO my
fac; shall not say how much TO the rest.
Eighteen years of passionate speeches inspired
by the theatre, of foolish. journeys to the ends Of
the earth, of winters at Moscow, of treasOns at
Waterloo, the treacherous sea, the ungratefu land
these have all made poor little bit Of a woman
like me Drematurey old But God protects the
brave, and he appears to have created expressly
for me a little corner unknown in all the geOgraph
lee, where may forget my fatigues, my sufferngs
and nv premature old age.-Aud now let fly your
vilanous duck (canard) among the birds that perch
upon my branches, singing their good little songs
OF return-of nv return and that OF spring.
"Il had died in America you would, | am sure
have been the first to devote to me one of your
most ardent feuilletons, worthy of your wit and
your heart. And because / resuscitated in
miraculous way, because | hope to -sOe you again
grasp your hand that Of an old friend, you say:
She lives, thank God! Now let her not cost US
too much Then you set to work to disturb my
too susceptible nerves and TO amuse the world at
the expense Of poor little Rachel A grand triumph
for your wit as if it ever lacked victims! Is il
thus that you ought TO treat poor creature who
has really just returned from the other word2
Come, be just and good, and confess at once your
inveterate meanuess in regard TO me, so that
may with equal promptnsss pardon you once :,ore
and that may hope to see you roon again either
in Paris or in the country.
"By Jove am very gracious to treat you thus
for this letter is certainly not written by grand
tragedisnne but by good girl called RACHEL"

The Practice with the planters, hitherto, has

The Importance of an abundant and cheap
material rs a substitute for rags from which
good cheap paper can be made, may be judged
of from the fact that the United States consume
as much as France and England combined
There is no element in the progress of civiiza-
ton more important than cheap paper. With a
plentiful supply of cheap paper, books can be
supplied at cheaper rates, newspapers published
at lower prices and correspondence conducted
at less cost. For some years the consumption
ofpaper has been gaining on the supply of rags,
aud fears have been felt that the advance in
their cost would ultimately he seriously felt in

On Thursday our neighbor Of the Union
and american gave ANDREW JOHNSON two
or more columns to make up slavery re-
cord for the Cincinnati Convention. On
yesterday he can only afford about half a
column for AARON V. BRowN's inaugural
eulogy of Jackson. Play fair, neigh5or.
Let the aspirants have an even start. We
speak in behalf of AARON. Favortlsm is
odious, and likely to breed mischief 1t is
but pitiful ambition to strive so desper-
ately for the honor of a defeat, but the
American party is not choice as to who
shall be the martyr. We deprecate bad
feeling, however, and trust our neighbor
will see that it is prevented

WHITE are of such ilk, and they consulted
proprety when they dissolved their connec-
ton with the American party, for it can
have no fellowship or sympathy with them.
They cannot make it sectional, and in place
of pretending friendship, let them openly
take ground against it. 1t can well spare
them. for its interests would suffer in such
disreputable company. We wave them
adieu, and bid them go in peace.
