No Message Xet!

In consequence of the stubbornness. out the
part of the Oonici in refusing to meet with
the House Yesterday, in joint Convention, the
Governor was unable to deliver his message.
Another $21O was expended to grstiiy Che
" skulduggery" of few logged members.
1t is hardly paying even decent respect to the
Executive of the Territory BY thus retarding
business, but as the House is fully organized
and waiting for the action OF the Council, we
should like to ask how much longer will ii be
obliged to wait? Most reverend Senors!-
how much longer! tr
MATTERS AT WAsuINcroN.-The Pioneer
of yesterday says:-" A private letter to us
from Washington, of the 3lst December, says
-. The prospect is favorable that Congress
will make grant of land in favor of a railroad
through Minnesota. Members are beginning
to think, l imagine, that justice requires such a
measure. Nevertheless, several Republican
papers-the New York Tribune in particular
ARE bitterly opposing ii; and making ardent
appeals to Republican members to vote against
it. This, It seems TO me, is inconsistent and
unjust. The people OF the Territory ought to
have had the benefit Of grant two years ago,
| If men who oppose a project OF this kind would
consider that it will put money into the Treas
ury of the United States, their views of politi-
cal economy would be changed. The untiring
efforts of the sincere friends Of Minnesota are

On Monday evening, Miss Gardiner,
who was taken prisoner at Spirit Lake,
Iowa, in March last, by Ink -pa-dutal' IS

city, from the Yellow Medicine Agency,
accompanied by Mr.. Robinson and the
and the interpreter at the Agency. and

metal as he walks, Ho- ton wash-tee, or
Beautiful Voice, and Che-tan maza, or
or the Iron Hawk, the three Indians des-
patched lasl month by Agent Flandrau,
to effect their release.-Upon the arrival
of the steamer, and its becoming known
upon the wharf that Miss Gardiner was
on board, considerable excitement was
created, and her appearance was greeted
with hearty cheers. Miss c. was placed
in carriage and driven to the Fuller
House, Win her escort.
Miss Gardiner is native of Seneca Co.
New York, and at the time of the massa-
ere was living with her parents at Spirit
Lake. Her father, mother, and the re-
maindcr Of her family, were all murdered
at the time of the attack on the Spirit
Lake settlement, with the single excep-
ton of an elder sister, who removed to a
more densely settled portion of Iowa a
few days preceding the massacre-This
sister has since married and is now living
on the Des Monies. Miss Gardiner is a
healthy, pleasing, intelligent lookig girl
Of about fifteen years of age. The onl,

of the great suffering she has undergone
is that she is very much sun burnt, ane

THE MOTHER LESSON.

mo, no, Laura; you must not speak
in that manner"
"And why not? Why, mother, to
hear you talk, one would suppose that l
were about to enter nunnery instead of
being married. No, tell you no hus-
band rules me. I shall be my own mis-
tress."
Laura Burke was young, happy crea-
turc, just on the eve of matrimony, and
like thousands Of others who look only
upon the pleasures of the future, and
laid her plans only for the greatest amount
of enjoyment that she might secure to
herself independent of all other circum-
stances. Her mother, Mrs. Amantha
Burke, had not yet passed life's autumn
nal equinox, for not over eight and thirty
had as yet been hers. She was woman
OF strange beauty, and though the flood
OF lille was yet warm and vigorous. she
was still moved by spirit Of deep mel
ancholly that had moulded her features
to its own cast. Under her pale brow
there were lines9of sorrow, in the deep
blue eyes there was light that seemed
to turn all vision in upon the soul, and
ouer her whole countenance there was
shed the unmista kcable shadows of
thought and feeling that could only
spring from a heart that had become
the homo Of the most powerful expert
ence.
"Ah, Laura said Mrs Burke, 81

with blind eyes. You are picturing to
yourself only that which may flee from
you ere you can grasp it. You forget
that the life you are abont to enter is one

groom gazed half wonderingly upon her
as she appeared SO deeply impressed with
the solemnity Of the occasion.
The Clergyman who had como to per-
form the ceremony was stranger in the
place, he having come from distant
part of the country, and at the present
time. had assumed the duties Of the pulpit
for one Sabbath while the regular clergy
man was absent from the town.
The magic words that made William
and Laura man and wife were spoken,
and the couple awaited the parting advice
and counsel Of the minister. He spoke
of the important duties they had taken
upon themselves-of the responsibilities
they had voluntarily assumed. Then he
fixed his eye on the fair bride, and while
his lips trembled and his eyes gathered
moisture, he said:
:" To you my fair child. | would fain
give word more of counsel. You must
remember that the HOME ALTAR is under
your administration and o fail not to
see that the purest of your affections are
kept burning there, SO they shall ever
light with joyous brilliancy the life you
have chosen. O could you but know
what earthly bliss hangs upon your
course, you would never-never-'
The clergyman stopped. His eyes
choked. AT that moment low cry broke
from the lips of Mrs. Burke. The minis
ter turned and caught her eye. All
present wondered at the strange scene,
but when, in a moment more, the mother
tottered forward and sank upon the bo-
som of the clergyman, they were lost in
amazement.
Amantha /" whispered the man, as
he bowed his head "Amantha
"My husband O. my husband =
Have you come to forgive me ?"
!" Yes, yes, my wife. Is there not hap
piness for us yet on earth ;"
The mother would have spoken, but
she conld only cling moro frantically to
her husband, and bless him that he had
come back to her. Mono were there but
who wept at the scene and Laura left
the side of her new made husband to
seek the embrace of her father.
At length the mystery was explained
to those who had witnessed the scene.-
But to his wife and child alone did James
Burke tell all he had suffered-how be
Lad wandered from place to place, and
how at length he become a preacher OF
the gospel. He told how his heart had
yearned to see his wife, and how he had
forgiven her for all she had done, and
also that he had determined to see her
once more and for that purpose he had
come back.
Years have passed away since that
evening, and James Burke and his wife
still live, but their old age is happy
happier far than their days of youth
And Laura, she is indeed noble, true
hearted wife. Her Mothers Lesson
was her salvation. 1t sank deep into her
heart, burying forever all of evil that
lurked there and sending forth into ac-
tive life all those charms and graces of
the female character that do most adorn

spirited woman subjected to the MOST de-
grading outrages. The tasks allotted to
her she would not willingly fulfil, and was
often cruelty beaten, in her resistance to
the tyranical will of her captors.--Miss
Gardiner thinks that it was this peculiar
temperament, that not only caused the
murder of Mrs. Thatcher, who it will be
recollected acted in the same manner. but
also Of Mrs. Nobles.
In regard to the treatment those unfor-.

But we question if American history can
furnish another instance of where females

@ The Baltimore american, speaking
of the decline of slavery in the border
States. sets forth the following very sensi-
BILE views in regard to the future of the
peculiar institution
"The experience of the past, and the
evidence deily placed before us, ought to
be sufficient to prove that wherever white
labor can be turned to profitable account,
slavery must succumb. Prior to the rev.
olution it existed in all the colonies. Ten
of them are now free. From the remain
ing three, Delaware, Maryland and Vir-
ginia, it is slowly but not less surely dis
appearing. In Kentucky and Missouri 1t
presents similar evidences of decay. Its
tendency has ever been to the southwark.
for it is only in semi-tropicel regions that
slavery can flourish. As the Caucasian
race moves westward, no Territorial laws
could bind the African to the soil. He
gnds his congenial alsoil and climate in trop-
ical or semi-tropical regions only. North
of the Missouri line heis not only an ex.

After organizing the party marched to

were startled by the military display and
martial music. At s O'Clock a public
meeting was held at the rooms of the En-
igrant Aid Company, over Jenkins hard
ware store. S. n. Wood was chosen
chairman. He then gave full account
of the transaction. and declared his COM
plicity in tie rgsctis Of Branson. The
meeting was unanimous in approving of
his course, as it was the position assumed
by the Free State party at the Big
springs.
Mr.. Wood said he expected tie iahoEe
rescuing party would be arrested. But if
the warrant was issued cut of the United
States Court, and placed in the hands of
the Marshal, he should obey the sam
and go into that Court, and test the right
of Missouri to make laws for Kansas. He
stated further, that he vas really and

have it there decided whether moi from

and elect officers for the government of
