CV The Bellevue Gazette, IN speaking OF
the Fontennelle Bank, says, eve do not be-
lieve it will, OF, can redeem single dollar
Of its issue. People may as well be undu-
deceived in this matter, first as last. The
bills are, as q few days will show, entirely
worthless" This is the end Of one Of the
wildcats. We have no tears to shed over
its timely decease. Requies CATin pace.
CO Questions having frequently been
raised before the General Land Office, as to
the necessity Of the residence Of the wife of
a claiment under the presumption laws, it
has been decided man being the head Of a
family must show residence with his family
on the land claimed, in order to entitle him
10 the benefit of the statutory provisions.
CO. Strange times, these-as the follow
ing will prove. The Boston Post of Oct.
7th, says: Gone Of our most wealthy and

ca evil no grouling earthquake give
this great globe a shaking that shall acake
men to a feeling of greater insecurity as to
their lives than now affiicts them in regard
to their money" Such was the language
of the Intelliyencer the day preceding the
appearance Of the earthquake at St. Louis.
The glory Of the prophecy coming "to pass"
the Intel2igencer had achieved enough Of
fame, and feeling a s'greater insecurity as
to its life," at once ''gave up the ghost"
and played quits. :" -9a..r'5 '-...f't

ErQA the Plains.

Agentleman who reached our city Satur-
day from Fort Kearney, reports that about
two weeks since party Of Cheyennes at
tackled one of Messrs. Russell & Waddel's
trains, loaded with provisions and arms
The teamsters, seeing them approach, be-
came panic stricken and fed, leaving eyery
thing in the possession of the indians, who
instantly commenced rifing the wagons, and
finding one loaded with rifles Immediately
supplied themselves. All the guns they
could not carry with them they broke across
the tires of the wagon wheels, completely
destroying them. The teamsters, seeing
the Indians scattered about the train, rallied
and returned, when the Cheyennes retreatcd,
carrying of with them 50 rifles, but they
had time to carry away very little Of the
ammunition. -z.@ -, ST. -
The success which has attended their de-
predations of late, has emboldened them,
and as they have three of their tribe prison.

will make an attempt to rescue them. II so,
they will be warmly received, ~ one COM
pany of infantry is stationed there, and the
fort is defended by eight pieces of heavy
field ordnance. - geIeias, s&ss

A Wish Likely to be Gratificd.

a The late Mr.. Dobbin, Of North Carolina,
expressed the wish, in the following letter,
that the Washington Monument would new
er be completed, in order that each success
sive generation may testify its respect for
the Father of his Country. His wish seems
likely to become prophecy; and if the pro-
gress the Monument has made since the let
ter was written is to be taken as the
ratio of its future advance, the lovers Of
the Union may well pray that it may last un-
til the Washington Monument is completed.
Wash. Republic. -. s.

GENTLEMEN: forward to you the letter
Of Mr.. Whittlesey, in regard to your patri-
otto contribution to the Washington Monu-
ment. The money will be paid to him this
morning. 80 .r5,....
These modest contributions will gradually
elevate that noble shaft of marble. My
feelings are, that it should never be COM
pleted, but that generation after generation
should be privileged to add evidences Of
their appreciation Of the lofty patriotism Of
ssthe Father of his Country" The Monu-
ment then will continue to rise, until the
character of our people shall begin to fall.

EnaisPatien 10 the West.

ta Many Of our Eastern exchanges contain
announcements Of the departures of large
numbers Of the laboring population of the
large towns and cities of the sea-board
States, f,r the West. This heavy emigra-
ton, at this time, is in consequence of the
financial embarrassments of the East, the
depression Of trade and the stoppnge Of
manufactures. Our sagacious eastern CO.
temporaries, who have heretofore INDUCED
in lach-ymose and gratuitous forebodings
of tho downfall Of the "Great West,'' have
now changed their tunes, and admit, yea,
feel quite confident that tho prosperity of
the West is upward and onward, and that
there is likely to be as great an immigra-
ton during the two years to come, as dur
ing the two years past. Let them come
our broad rich prairics will welcome them,
and in time amply repay them for every
privation they may at FIRST be subjected to.
Let them come---the West needs mechanics,
artisans and farmers. The former to up
build its towns and cities, and the latter to
cultivate it's broad acres, and help to furnish
the s'daily bread" required by the thirty
millions and upwards Of inhabitants Of this
nation. s.-.,-s.-.... ~ "a s.s-
. The Warrington Republic, in speaking Of
the recent movements to the West, says
that cit has been thought BY many persons,
that the movement Of population already
made to the West, would prove to be in cx-
cess Of the numbers who could be pro6ta-
bly, employed in agriculture. II is proba-
bic, however, that this movement may be
continued somewhat longer, before the pro-
per balance between the urban and rural
population Of the country is restored. The
relative gain has been largely on the side of
tho cities and towns for many years, and it
must take some time before the contrary
movement can become excessive. To the
West is now added Missouri, opened to free
labor BY recent events, and Kansas; both
adapted to the great staples of hemp and
tobacco. All the emigration to the West,
which engages in agriculture, viii not, there
fore b employed in raising wheat or fatten-
ing pork. To the staples Of hemp and to-
bacon, will soon be added cotton, which
will be cultivated by white labor in the
magnificent territory south of Kansas. The
West Is largo enough, and its capacities arc
diversified enough, to absorb all the labor
