DESERVED PUNISHMENT. Mr.. Flandrau,
the agent for the Sioux Indians in Min
nesota, recently procured from Fort Rig

ray, and proceeded in search of three of
the murderers Of Mrs. Noble, at an Indi-
an village on the Yellow Medicine River.
Here they surrounded lodge in which
was son of the Indian chief Ink pa-du-
ia, the noted leader of the band of saya-
GEES whose depradations row form SO sad
a page in the history fjthe West. He is
the identical savage who dragged Mrs.
Noble from the lodge of the Yankton chief
who purchased her. and after having sat
isfed his hellish appetite, beat her to
death with clubs. Before, however, the
party could surround the lodge. he made
his escape 70 q ravine, where the grass
was very high The soldiers then sur
rounded the ravine, and with some diff

severe wounds. The indian returned the
FIRE with double.barreled shot gun; one
of the charges struck the cartridge box Of
soldier, who thereupon, rushed forward
aud bayonelted the savage. Upon exam
ming the body several wounds were dis
covered. The carcase of the murderer
was left lying upon the ground, and the
party, after having secured his squaw,

II never saw SO much hustle and ex-
element among the Indians as the last

at the house where we were, about 300
strong, all armed and naked, but made
no positive demonstration. That night,
we armed aIlthe men we could, and pass
ed the whole night awaiting an attack.
"The Indians brought up the body
and had large and long council over it,

response sufficient to induce an attack. I"

TnE Wool CRoP OF OH1o.-Tt is estima
ted that the wool crop of Ohio this year
will exceed that Of l $50 by three millions
of Pounds. The Cleveland Plaindealcr,
says: -
ia A large part, if not all the wool. has
now passed from the farmer to the mer-
chants, and considerable portion into
the hands Of the buyers for the New York
market and eastern manufactures. The
prices paid for the wool crop range from
40 to so cents, and In some Of the best
districts As and 60 cents have been paid.
We are informed that one buyer in this
county has in store in Licking county over
two thousand pounds, which cost over so
csnls per pound. The amount of cash
distributed in this State this year for
wool will exceed six millions Of dollars.
"Phe State has become the leading wool>
growing one in the Union. Besides the
increase in the number Of fieeces, the
sllearing occurred month later this year
ahan last. and the increase in the growth
of wool during this time. affords an in.
crease Of 8 per cent. to the clip. Buyers
are confident that the supply of wool in
the county will fall SHORT. Of the demand,
and the prices cannotrecede.

committee selected to pass upon the con-
Lroversy between the Boston Courier and
DR.. II. F. Gardner, respecting the alleged
phenomena of spiritualism, after weeks
investigation, made the following report:
1.-The committee awardd that DR.
Gardner, having failed to produce before
them an agent or medium who 'commu-
nicated a word impaired 10 the spirits in
an adjoining room. who read word in
English written inside book, or folded
sheet of paper who answered any ques-
ton, which the superior intelligence
must be able to answer who tilted pi.

to move a foot; and having failed TO ex-
hibit to the committee any phenomenon
which, under the widest latitude ofinter-
probation, could be regarded as equiva-
lent to either of these proposed tests. or
any phenomenon which required for its
production, or in any manner indicated a
force which could technically be denom-
mated spiritual, or which was hitherto
unknown to science, or phenc menon
of which the cause was not palpable 10
the committee, is. therefore, not entitled
to claim from the Boston Courier the
proposed premium of Eve hundred dol
lars.
ut is the opinion of the committee, de-
rived from observation, that any Conuec-
ton with spiritualistic Circles, so called,
corrupts the morals and degrades the in
tellect. They, therefore. deem it their
solemn duty to warn the community
against this communicating influence,
which surely tends to lessen the truth Of

ment which lie has manifested in so ma.
ny Of the appointments since his elevation
TO the gubernatorial chair, Governor
Wise, upon the death of Capt. Clutter,
rendered the Office of Fist Auditor to
James Neeson. Esq. of this county. The
duties of this Office are almost entirely

He has. nevertheless, all the qualifica-

partial IN his judgements, and having in
tellectual ability enough to grace Mr..

the Office. however. preferring the laurels
or emoluments of his Office to the "plea-
sures' of an authorship. The frst au.
ditor's salary is two thousand dollrs per
annum, which is increased several hun
dred dollars by the perquisites of Office.
We would not be afraid to wager our

Withdrawal oil the Soutn- w estetn
Branch of the American Tract ociety.
Alta special meeting of the Southwes-
tern Branch of the American Tract Soci-
ety. held in New Orleans on the evening
OF the 3oth of June, 1857, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted,
viz:
Whereas, At the recent annual meet
ing of the American Tract Society. held
in New York, May, 1857, the following
resolution, among others, was adopted,
viz: "That in the judgment of your COM
mittee, the political aspects of slavery lie
entirely without the proper sphere of this
Society, and cannot be discussed in its
publication; but that those moral duties
which grow out of the existence of slave.
~, as well as those moral evils and vices
which it is known to promote, and which
are condemned in Scripture. and so much
deplored by Evangelical Christians. un-
doubtedly do fall within the province Of
this Society, and can and ought to be dis
cussed in fraternal and Chistian spirit"
And whereas. the passage of such res
olution justly alarms the friends of the
Society at the South in regard to its flu
ture issues, indicating, as it does, a de-
parture from the principles that have
hitherto governed it in relation to the
subject referred to, and as any such de-
parture from those principles would justly
impair the confidence of Southern Chris
tians in the Society, and must entirely
destroy its usefulness in this portion Of
our country, therefore,
Be it resolved. That so long as the pa
rent Society continues to be governed
strictly by the Constitution, in the issuing
of its publications, which is, viz: ITO diff.
fuse knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ as the Redeemer of sinners. and
TO promote the interest of vital goodness
and sound morality, by the circulation Of
religious tracts calculated TO receive the
appreciation of all Evangelical Chris.
tians," we will continue to give it, as
heretofore, our fullest confidence and our
warmest support, and as its South> West
ern Branch. do all that we can for the
promotion of the great objects for which
it was established.
Be it resolved, That in the opinion Of
Parent Society, in the adoption of the
fourth resolution of - May last, is con-
trary to the spirit of the Constitution,
and in opposition to the uniform action Of
the Society for upwards Of thirty years,
and if acted upon, must, however much
it is to be, deplored and regretted. at once
dissolve all connection with that portion
of country represented by this Branch.
Be it further resolved, That our Cor
responding Secretary be requested to fur
nish copy of the preamble and resolu-
tions adopted at this meeting to the va
rious papers of our city. and also TO for
ward copy to the Parent Society at
New York.

WHAT A NEWSPAPER DOES FOR NOTHING.
The following article should be read
and pondered well by every man who

1.-The result Of my observation enables
me to state, as fact, that the publishers
of newspapers are more poorly rewarded
than any class of men in the United
States, who invest an equal amount OF la
Dor, capital and thought. They are ex-
pected to do more service for less pay, to
stand more sponging and "dead- heading"
TO puff and defend more people without
fee or reward, than any other class.
They credit wider and longer get of
