The Proclamation.
From the National intelligence }


The Government paper of yesterday con-
tanned an Executive Proclamation which, Tor
the information Of our readers, we transfer
TO our columns. Following on the heels OF
the recent Special Message to Congress on
the same subject, it is evidence that tne
President anticipates something IKE ciNA
war in the land of Wanted popular SOY

II is proof also Of another thang, Whleh per-
haps the President does not discern 50 cieafIy;
and that II the political error "inch ~
brought these troubles upon him and
upon the country. Surely, never hae au5
false stem Of Government in our brief hlsto-
rv, II IN tie histor, Of any freecountry, been
SO fruitful of eyii-of unmlHed, uncompen-
stated evil-as the uncalied-for repeal Of the
Missouri Compromisa And now the Presl-
deaf Is endeayoring, with the best intentions,
no doubt. to avert one Oh its disastrous con
sequences by a proclamation. What . sight,
In this free Republican country, 20 behold an
Executive Proclamation forDddng civil war
We most deroutly hope il may have the et-
feet. but NC fear that men who are aiming
rifles and reviewers at each others iraternaI
breasts Will be little disposed to heed the
Presidents admontions. And then should
ne find it necessary to interpose the military
power Of the General Goyernment-and that
must be the next step-what state Of thugs
shall wenot then present 10 the world anu TO
the country Is it not enough to make an
gels weep TO see SO happy, harmonious, peace.

WAsHTNGToN TERRITORY. The Puget Sound
Courier of Dec. 2lst says:
We are informed that the Indians have
commenced the work of destruction in this
vicinity, by burning the house and smith shop
| of German, situated on what is known as
Puyallup plains this house was situated
/ about six miles from this place, and not more
than mile from other houses occupied bv
other families. This is doubtless but the be-
ginning Of their work, which will no doubt
be followed up on every opportunity. The
heavy timber which skirts the prairie to the
eastward is peculiarly favorable to predato-
ry lncursions by these miscreants, and we
shall not be surprised to hear of the burning
Of all the houses in this portion Of the prai-
RE.
\ Business PLAcE.-A Fronchman came
into small village one dav, stole a watch
was arrested, tried, convicted, sentenced To
the State Prison, and sent of in a wagon
with some others, all in the space Of two ana
a half hours. On reaching the top Of d hill
from which the whole village could be taken
IN at glance, the wagon stopped, and the
Frenchman turned about and gazing back for
moment, exclaimed
well, dis is de smartest leetle place for
business Eat ! ever did see,'
80 At the late meeting Of the British AS
ISOLATION Of Science, Professor Culvert read
q paper on the iron manufacture, in which he
stated that by mixing about half bushel Of
common salt with every ton Of coal in the
coke room, the coke SO made gave off no sui
phurous flames, and when used in cupola
IN melting, IL produced iron much closer in
gram, ana 70 per cent. stronger than that
made from common coke. 1t is also supe-
rior for locomotive use.
81 L is written by a quaint old jewish
manuscript, now in the British Museum, that
the oldest Of mankind, Methuselah, did not
live as long as he might. The writer says,
God promised hum in dream, that If he
would rise and build him q house, his life
should be prolonged 800 years but Mcthu-
selah replied it was scarcely worth while to
build house for so short u time and so he
died before he was thousand years old.
ca Greek maiden being asked what
fortune she would bring her husband, replied
IN the following beautiful and foreible Ian
guage
" viii bring him what gold cannot pur-
chase-a heart unspotted and virtue without
a stain-which is all that descended to me
from my parents.
THE influence OF WoRDs.-Words are lit
tie things, but they strike hard. We WELD
