Vigilance Com mittee in Michigan.


The citizens of Flint, and other towns IN
Genesee county, Michigan, have been moved
to the appointment of Vigilance Commit
and violence which hac lately been exhibited
there. The Flint Citizen sums up some of
the more recent exploits of the villains who
infest that region :a
ssThe death of Mr.. Seavers, shot in Grand
Blanc; the burglaries and horse-stealing
Immediately after the fair; the murders in
Mr.. Johnson's family in Fentonville, and
the attempts to rob the house of the Hon.
w. III. Fenton,- arrived at its eliminating
point of outrage, by the burglary of Mr..
Belcher's house on Tuesday night, which
was happily foiled by the intrepidity of the
maid giving the alarm just in time to save
his valuable plate AlIof these acts, follow
ing close upon one another, raised consid-
cradle degree of excitement among our citi-
zens, who on Wednesday morning organized
a Committee of Vigilance, all pledged TO
each other to purge the neighborhood of
these villains at W hatever cost, and to root
out the haunts ofevice' and crime that nes-
tied themselves in the city, Quite a num-
Der of suspected characters have been under
examination during the week, and the iail
is full both of men and women. a com
miltee of the Vigilance organization has
visited the gaming saloons, and warned the
proprietors that they must be discontinued,
which they have all agreed to. Ifthey fail to
do so voluntarily, they VIII be compelled.
The Vigilance organization is complete, and
composed of men of nerve, who are all
awake and fully determined to put stop to
this career of crinne.'' -

Henry Ward Beecher discourses thus
beautifully of the use of troubles and the
spirit in which they must be borne:
There be troubles that may be scorn out.
A patient endurance will Destroy them
Like tides, they cannot be checked nor re-
sisted when rising. But, like tides, if pa
tiently waited upon, they viii turn and flow
out of themselves
Nay, rather let me say that they are inun-
dations of freshets. When God means mer
cy to the seasons, he sends clouds to the
mountains. From their bosom, all the noun
tain springs nurse, and are full. But when
from the fullness of the rain the streams
swell, and branch adds to branch its tribute
the oyer-swollen river spreads wide over all
the neighboring meadows. Trees wade
deep; bushes half-hidden, seem cut in twain,
and the earth is lost. But with few days
the stream sucks back its waters and drives
them out to the sea. Now see the drench-
ed world all aslime. Mud, mud, mud
But go again in two months and see the
children of the mud-grass that waves its
little forest-fowers that carry heaven in
their bosom-corh and grain that exult in
richness and vigor. Troubles come to us
like mire and filth But when we'll min
gled, they change to flower and fruit.

5 Often are we tempted, when the storms
gather around, to iook'baek, faint and weary,

mist, doubling of the triumph of the truth.
We al feel SO at times, and amid the perIs
and tolls of this Kanzas conflict it is not won-
derful that some are found nistrustful of the
final result, when they see with what con-
isistency and apparent success the foes of
Freedom steadily push on toward the black
and bloody goal to which they strive. Yet.
though we. have been struggling for three
years in difficulty and danger, and the gold
en- prize seems further from US, be not dis
couraged, a ea =

And ever the Truth comes upPermost."
Look back, oh doubling, desponding
one. over the soiled and sullied pages of
history, and see where the finger of Time,
in letters Of living light, has written glo-
rious lessons of truth, and love, and hope.
Hear the voice of the Ages, as they speak

and surely the progress of humanity is vis-

Through the ages one increasing purpose runs,

Freemen of Kanzas, let US work on, hope
fully, trustfully, amid all the darkness of
the present hour, confdentin in the righteous
ness of God, and satisfied in the assurance
that ace at least are performing our duty
Banded together as one man in opposition
to the foul wrong which menaces our rights
and liberties holding, as we do, the pro-
gress of the race in the balance for time,
let US be true and faithful, striving and
struggling to pave the way when Freedom

Our Postal Affairs.

Some dissatisfaction having been ex-
pressed, and justly. too. by the people in
this vicinity, in relation to the ill-timed con-
nection of post-routes from Fort Scott to
Council Grove, the undersigned would state
that the Postmaster General has been petit
toned to so change the arrivals and depart
ures of mails on these routes as to insure
the conveyance of our mail matter to and
from this place without delay. Steps have
also been taken to secure the establishment
of special route between this place and
Lawrence until such time as one can be OBJ
tanned by act of Congress. There is every
reason to believe that route between this
point and Topeka will, during the session of
the next Congress, be established, and soon,
it is hoped, our mail facilities will be equal
to those of any other town in southwestern
Kanzas. Those interested should see that
the proper steps are taken to secure the es-
tablishment of these different routes.

E LOVE AT SIGHr.-On Monday there came
to st. Louis, from village thirty miles dis

FIVE years old, and made careful purchases

The Gifsed Haskell's Fate.

The fate of Haskell, of Tennessee, should
be warning to all young men. He passed
through Louisville last week, in charge of
trlends,son his way to the lunatic asylum at
Lexington. While on the Frankfort cars
he arose, and In the most eloquent and pa
thetlc terms appealed TO the gallant Ken
tucklans present, among whom he was, to
protect him from the relentless enemies he
imagined were pursuing him. He became
so excited and violent that his friends were
forced to confne him. The career Of this
gifted but unfortunate son of genius should
be known for the lessons which it teaches
From his earliest oyhood, says the Nash
vile Banner, he has shown himself pos
sessed of thehighest order of talent While
at college he distinguished himself as a poet
and an orator His graduating speech is
spoken of by those who heard ,t as worthy
OF the Immortal Prentiss in his palmiest
days. He served his country on the battle
field and in the halls of Congress- 1t was
his residence at Washington that confirmed
upon him those unfortunate habits which
hnaliy blasted his intellect. He at one time
broke the fiery serpent from his hands and
dashed 1t to the earth. To make his own
reformation complete, and aid in lifting up
others who had fallen, like himself, he went
through the State lecturing on temperance.
The tour was an eminently successful and
brilliant one-his lectures being fully equal
to those of Cough, whose eloquence has
electrified thousands in this country and In
England. But his old habit gained the mas
terry over him again, and his subsequent
life has been but fearful struggle between
his appetites and his ambition-a struggle
in which, it must be confessed, his appetites
have generally triumphed. So great, IN
deed, was his craving for artificial stimulants,
that even while delivering his temperance
lectures he made use of drugs, sufficient in
quantity and potency to burn out the vitals
of an ordinary man.

STEAMBOAT ExPLosIoN.-We learn OF
one of our citizens who took passage from
st. Louis on the steiner Cataract, that while
leaving woodward near Boonville, on the
morning of the 18th inst, before daylight,
an explosion of her mudshaft occurred,
badly shattering the upper decks and filling
the cabins with seething hot steam. The
passengers Immediately sprang from their
berths, opened their doors, and were imme-
diately suffocated with steam. Some, prob
ably, lost their lives in this way. Others
were suffocated in their berths. On the in
slant of the explosion, the pilot sprang on
shore, and made the boat fast by the rope
that had not yet been taken in. When our
informant left twelve persons had been
found dead. Others may since have been
added To this number-Lawrence Repa5.

An importation of $50 Lamas is coming
from South america. These animals are
well known in the Pacific, where they are
extensively used as beasts of burden, and
are very valuable for. their wool. In the
mountains of Peru and Ecuador, where there
is much snow, they are found in large num-
bers; and, as they are thus accustomed to
cold weather. it. is believed they are well
adapted to the; climate of this country. par
tieularly that of our northern latitudes-
They are very hardy, vigorous animals, ca
pable of bearing much fatigue, and of be-
ing sustained with comparatively little food.
Those expected here are of the description
from which the alpaca wool is obtained.
