use of the following expression: God

When so MANY OF his selfstyled

says the Boston Post, We don't see
much Inconsistency in the request.
1t would not be unortbodox to reply
that only the devil has an interest in

his calling on God for help shows that

ST. PAUL, July 16.-An express
from the Sioux Indian Agency brings
the news that ] 200 warriors were
defying the United States troops.
Possibilities will be Immediately re.
newed. The settlers on the frontiers
are flying for protection 10 the towns
and military posts. Gov Medsry
was endeavouring to preserve peace.
The action of the Superintendent Of
Annuities has been suspended until
the band Of muIderers are surrender
ed. The Sioux refuse to surrender
them, and are endea voring to have a
collision with the United States
troops. A Geographic dispatch from
the Secretary Of War, refusing Gov.
Medary volunteers for defense, has
been received. This action Of the
Secretary has caused great excite
ment. A body of 200 man is about
to march to the frontier.

Why do not Negroes make their
Homes among the AbeHtioniSls!

A1umcr ehvuS tuU Avv"s'~"'
The following extract, which We
take from au article in the Cincinnati
Enquirer, contains IA idea worth
looking after;
aThere is a remarkable and very
sugg estive fact in regard to the negro
emigration into this State. 1t is this
of the twenty-five thousand free ne
groes in the State, the vast majority
reside in counties where there are
very few Abolitionis,s, and which
have been chiefly settled by emf
grants from the Southern States
These negroes appear to have a great
dread Of the Abolition counties; they
give them wide berth. Thus, for
example, AshtabuIa,has negro pop
ulation of forty-thrse; Geauga, sew
en-; TRANQUIL, sixty-fye. The other
counties on the lake have proper
tionate number Of negroes. These
counties are settled almost exclusive
ly by New Eaglaud emigrauts. On
the other hand, Ross county, a Vir-
ginia settlement. has one thousand
and six negroes; GaIIia has oEe thou
sand one hundred and ninety-eight,
and Hamilton county has over four
Thousand.
'ln these countries the Negro is
regarded as inferior. socially and po-
ilitieslly. ana the Aboltionists have
bat Il slight Told. What is the cause
Of this discrepancy Is ii tnat the
negro feels aud knows bis inieriurity,
and naturally attaches himself to the
population whie!. is disposed 10 re.
gard hin as inferior? Or is it that
the whites 10 the lake shore coun.
ties are ab0htionisis from an iguo-
rance of the Real character Of the
negro? Certainly there is 20 better
mode of caring reighborIood o
abolitionism than by inflicting or
them a coloBy Of free negroes. Tue

Havana for Mstanzas, or any other
domestic port, with a constructive
cargo of -four, the customary duty on
which, when arriving from foreign
countries, is SO 50 per barrel. With
papers all regular, she goes to sea,
falls in, by previous agreement, with
an American vessel on the coast Of
Florida or elsewhere, actually freigh-
ted with the same datiable article.
The cargo is transferred, and the yes
SCI, which left Havana entirely empty
proceeds on her voyage, and enter
ing the port from which she had
formerly cleared, throws the flour upon
the market duty free.
