Hon. Andrew 7. Butler, United States
Senator from South Carolina, which took
place on Monday evening. lie will long be
remembered as one of the most impetuous

of the memorable attack upon Senator
Sumner, BY the late Preston S. Brooks
This assault took place May 22d, 1856, and
witain one year and three days from that
time, the grave has claimed Mr.. Butler as

More Indian 0utrageS.

From the plains we have the start
ling Intelligence that one hundred
troops and FIVE hundred transfers, I'M
der the command of Col. Sumner were
attacked by large body of Cheyennes
and Amploe Indians, two hundred miles
west of Fort Kearney. All were slain.
The report is confirmed by trader ar
irving from Pacific City, Iowa, and al
so by an emigrant train from Salt
Lake.
Another report places the number at
one hundred troops and two hundred
transfers. We fear the Indians are
going to be more troublesome just
now than was anticipated, and some
immediate measures should be taken
by the general Government to protect
the life and property of our citizens
from destruction and plumber. By the
way has this reported outbreak of the
Cheyennes and Amploes any consecu-
tive connection with Brigham Young's
recent sixteen days visit among the
tribes on the plains. 1t is not at all
unlikely that he has hired them to act
as destroying angels" to carry out
and give form to his hate and maligni-
ty towards the United States Govern
ment. We are firmly convinced that
prompt, enargotie ao,io", i" sa's K--.'.o'
and If need be, the severest punish
ment of the outlaws there. will put a
stop to Indian outrages more effectual.
" than any other means which coule
be used. and we sincerely hope Col
Cumming will make the experiment.

A BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT. The follow
ing extracts, from the May number OF
the Wisconsin Farmer, were written by
Prof. j. w. HoYr, one of it's editors.
They contain both poetry and sublime
truth:
To the majority of men, we are
satisfied that soil is nothing but DIRT
but to the chemist, who knows its ORR
gin, its history, it's nature and capabll'
tiles, it is a wonderful mixture OF those
beautiful elements, which, in their ev-
er-varying forms, become the ambient
air, the liquid ocean, the precious opal,
the amethyst, the jasper, and the still
more precious diamond or the deli
cate blue-bell and violet, the amaranth,
the lily and the rosebud, the spire OF
bluegrass and the cedar Of Lebanon /;
or again, the ruby lip, the matchless
orb Of the love-lit eye, the nobly-pal-
plating heart, and yet more wonder
full brain!
These are the jewels of which the
soil is composed, and yet of which the
husbandman so unheedingly strives to
force the food his hunger Graves.
Henceforth, as he turns the turrow
of his field, let the sleep Of his thought
be broken by the reflection This
earth, thus stirred by my ploughshare,
is doubtless composed in part OF the
ashes of ancestral heroes, whose his
tory are the deeds of the past, and
whose mortal remains are the plastic
material out of which we are building
the bodies of the men of today.

1t was ronger arm than Faiths

up in sudden bewilderment, and saw
her husband bending over her with his
blue eyes full of tears. The sudden
joy was too much for her-and all her
pride was swept away in a moment.

"Iknow it, dearest-I know allI

Forgive !"
There was a beautiful smile upon
her lips, as she drew him nearer, and
kissed him passionately. Theestrange>
ment of year was all forgotten in
that bewildering return of happiness.
Faith wept silently for Joy, upon her
husbands shoulder, in the little parlor
below. And believe me, the angels in
Heaven rejoiced to see so perfect and
complete a reconciliation between those
proud and loving hearts. For those
who forgive, are dear in the sight of
him who has forgiven!

1t is burning shame to the citizens
Of st. Charles, that they have not ere
this laid out cemetery, or in some
way provided a suitable burial-place
for the dead. The question is daily,
and almost hourly, asked, what are the
St. Charles people thinking about, that
they should neglect this important
matter so long. We can only answer,
that their thoughts are probably most
ly occupied with the rise in the value
Of town lots, and forty per cent"
The thought that they may not live
forever, one would judge, scarcely en-.
tiers their minds. We would suggest
that a meeting be called, and attention
given to the subject, without further
delay.

The New York Mirror, whose editor
has known Gov. Walker intimately
and thoroughly for ten years." says OF
him:
After handling some hundreds of
millions of the public money, he left
the Office as poor as primitive chris.
tan. Since then he may have bought
stocks and lands and mines that have
made him rich. But when was it
counted crime for fortune to award
the sagacity even of Spectator p
In 1843, Mr.. Walker invested 1850
in the purchase of land, on what is
now the city Of Fond du Lac, for which
he has been offered, within a few
months, more than 100000 ; and he
also bought, years ago, coal and quick
silver mines, which are making him
millionaire.

Immense Emigration.

! Inc last pencillings of the sur
oeams are so glorious, that men. as
by one consent, look with lonpino
hearts to the West. This has always
oeen the case, in every settled country
on the globe. It's tendency in this
country has been its remarkable and
constantly increasing settlement. Its
result mas been the erection of towns.

the boldness to predict. cut re"
year ago, the annua' --hgratioh TO the
West was cn,,ptSd by tens, then hun
dreds then thousands, and this year,
owing to various causes, by hundreds
OF thousands. 1t is intimatcd that
not less than ten hundred thousand
individuals will remove from the East
during the year 1857, and will take
up their abode in the West chiefly
in Illinois, Wisconsin. Minnesota,
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, making
an average increase in each of these
States and Territories, in one year, of
one hundred and fifty thousand persons.
This may he an over estimate, but it
is beneath the calculation of some of
the most observing men in the country.
The wonderful energy and enter
prise of the West its contemplated
improvements, and the immense tracts
of lands, granted by the last Congress,
for Railroad purposes, to new States,
have opened to eastern capitalists,
new and more profitable fields for the
investment of capital than ever before
presented, and this, with the issue of
slavery or no slavery, in newly organ
lied territory, will be accompanied,
with an unprecedented emigration
from the Eastern, Northern, Middle
and Southern States to the West.
No political economist, can look
upon this immense emigration during
the present year without mingled
emotions. The Eastern States will
furnish the greatest proportion of
these settlers. To do this the manu-
featuring towns and pleasant villages
must be decimated of people and
wealth, and their interests must con-
sequently be materially affected. No
section of country will be SO seriously

The LATE SECRETARY MARcY.-The
New York Evening Post states that
Secretary Marcy had for thirty years
suffered occasionally from what he
called stitch in his side, and during
the last two years of his official life
he was several times taken suddenly
i'll in his Office with an affection which
appeared to alarm him considerably
during the few minutes while it last
ed: At such periods be would turn
soon as he had recovered he would for
get all about the matter, and become
outwardly as cheerful as ever. He
was evidently impressed, however, by
these attacks, and said on the Sunday
before his death that he should not
live to see the election of another
President. OF his retirement from
public life the Post says:
at is we'll known that Mr. Marcy
had declared at least year before the
end of his term in the State Depart
ment, even if President Pierce were
reelected, his intention to retire from
public life. This announcement he
made in terms so explicit as not to be
misunderstood by the inquirer and
when he found that an effort was made
by certain gentlemen to procure his
re-appointment by President Buchan-
an, he discountenanced the project in
a letter so peremptory in terms as to
lead the friend to whom it was ad-
dressed to fear that he was permanent
ly offended"
Mr.. Marcy intended, before he died,
to reply to the criticisms of the Brit
ish and continental press on his letter
relative to the abolition of private-'-
ing, which had not been ansu>sfed 70
his satisfaction by the, r'css OF TINS
Country. All tho articles adverse to
his doctrines had been gathered into
a book, and these he intended to re-
view, for the purpose Of vindicating
and asserting his views on the sub
.ject.

Spy of June 8, says:
"Hon. Eli Thayer returned to his
home, in this city, yesterday morning,
after fortnight's tour Of business and
observation, through portions OF West
ern Virginia and Eastern Kentucky.
Mr.. Thayer made no secret of the Oh.
iect of his visit, and was received
with the most cordial hospitality,
wherever he went. by shareholders as
we'll as others, and the most intense
interest was everywhere manifested,
in his emigration scheme for intnslng
Yankee enterprise and thrift into the
dead and lifeless communities of the sun.

public meetings during his absence,
at which he unfolded his plans OF the
Emigrant Association, and at all OF
which his remarks were listened to
with the closest attention, and compll'
mentary resolutions were passed. Mr..
Thayer;s first visit to the South has
demonstrated that the bark OF the
fanatics of the South is worse than
their bite and that the people are
ready and anxious for the influx OF q
horde of Northern emigrants, to TIL
their fields, and show them how to ap
propriate the munificent natural ad
vantages they possess"

The Old Homestead.

Down in quiet sun-lit valley
Stands my low-roofed cottage home
Rushing thoughts around it rally,
Thither waited while roam,
There In summer, as of olden,
Waves the green-topped maple tree;
There in Autumn sere and golden,
Shadows fit across the lea.
Still the streamlet cleaves the meadow,
Bordered by the mantling vine,
Where beneath the tall oak shadow,
Then threw the hempen line.
Thoughtless childhood happy childhood
Iwould journey back to thee;
Roam again the tangled wildwood,
Sport beneath the maple tree.
