They Will get Married.

Some may think it strange lit isn't though
that, ever since the time when we remarked
in our paper that nine.tenths Of oil the hun
dreds Of young women sent by us to the
South as teachers had got married there, We
have been literally overwhelmed with appli-
cations from New England, New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio.
We do not think, that 10 justice to such of
our Southern friends as ara in want of teach
ers, we can send any girl that will not pledge
herself to US to continue at least six months
10 the business. We know that the coudi-
tions may seem hard, but really We shall have
to be memorable.
About three years ago the trustees Of a
hne female academy in one of the Southern
States wrote to US TO send them teacher,-
We sent them very beautiful and accom-
plshed young lady, and they promptly wrote
US letter Of warm thanks for the selection.
In about three months they wrote US again,
telling us that their teacher had got married,
and requesting us to send another, We did
send them another, quite as beautiful and ac-
complished as the first, and they were, as
well they might be, very much delighted with
her. In Just about three months, however,
they applied to US third time, begging us to
send them still another, the second having got
married like the first. In their last applica-
ton, however, they insisted that the lady next
sent to them should be plain-lonking aud not
less than thirty.6ve years old. The condi-
tions were difficult, and we did not succeed in
complying with them. We prevailed upon
our friends, the trustees, to accept a richly
talented lady who was neither old nor ugly,
she giving us her honor that she would not
marry 10 less than half a year. We under
stand that she held out like brave good girl,
to the end of the specified time, but not day
afterwards. louisville journal.

TUssEL WITH WoLF.-At Huron c. w.
last week, Mr.. Michael Sullivan, hoaring a
noise in the COW house, which is close TO the
dwelling, went out to ascertain the cause
When about yard from the door which was
open, an animal supposed by him at first to
be fox, sprsng upon him, seized him by the
collar of his dress and knocked him down.
With CONSERVATION he beheld that his assail-
ant was powerful wolf, but nothing dauuted
be grappled with the animal, regained his feet
and after struggle Of some minutes, during
which he received several wounds on his face,
neck and leg, he managed to brirg it to the
ground. In the fight which ensued, the brute
caught Mr.. S. by the left hand which he al.
lowed TO remain at its mercy, knowing that if
he disengagsd his hand some moro vital part
might be attacked. Mr.. $. now called upon
his wife to bring a knife, which she did, and
shortly dispatched the savage beast.

WESTERN ANTl.SLAyERY FAIR.

The undersigned members OF the Salem Sewing
Circle, hereby inform their co.laborers abroad
that arrangements have been made for holding their
annual Fair on the 24.h and Is h Of December
next.
Those acquainted with this enterprise need NOS
be told of the necessity Of Unusual effort on that
occasion. The commercial embarrassment of The
past year, the clnmor of politicians contending for
side issues, or aiming at selfish ends, the shouts OF
revivalists who ignore the claims of the slave, and
allure many from their course, all contribute, in
their several ways, to lessen our resources, and
hence the urgent need Of renewed zeal in addresst
ing ourselveo to this work.
We therefore cordially invite, not only those
whose kind assistance we have had heretofore, but
all who value liberty for the uGtion and peace and
blessing for their own ~fresides, to unite with Us in
this department of sntiislasefy labor. We ask of
you, liberal cOn,ributious-scarcely any article
that has a market value can como amiss.
Our funds are always used for the propagation oil

THE ANTI-SLAV VERY IBUGLE.


After waiting some time for the murderer of Ma
ior Brooks property to be brought in, Colonc
Miles declared war; in the following proclama
ton, which we take, with the account Of the cap,
turc of the sheep, from the Santa Fc Gazette OF
Oct. ID:
Headquarters, NAvAJoE EXPEDITION,
Fort DEFIANCE, N. NJ. Sept. g, '5S.
I-Since the arrival Of the commanding officer
ut this post, I'D ult.) sufficient time has been CIV.
en- the Navajoo tribe Of Indians to seek. secure ana
deliver up the murderer of Major Brooks negro ;
to atone for the insult to our flag, and the many
outrages committe ed Oh our citizens. They failed
u do SO. Our duty remains to chastise them into
obedience of our laws, and after tomorrow morn
ing war is declared against them.
II-At s o'clock tomorrow morning. the col
umn designated by order No. 2 will be in readiness
to march with twelve days rations, to fight the In
dams wherever found.
iII.--The commanders of companies are eau
toned not to place on one mule all their ammuni'
ton, but to distribute it to ut least three packs.
BY order of the Lieut.. Col. Miles.
T. W. WALKER. 2ud 1t. Ord Inft,
Adiutant of Expedition.
"Three companies mounted rifles, two compan-
les Of infantry, and one sm Ill company Of Mex
lean spies and guides were sent ou,in all 32j men
who remained ont seven days, in pursuit Of the
Indians, and returned with 5000 sheep, and six
Indian prisoneYs. There were two soldiers killed
during the expedition and. several wounded with
arrows while on picket guard, but no regular bat
tie was fought"
The proportion of the capt1red-5000 sheep to
6 indians-at the fact that mo regular battle was
fought" show it to hayo been simply a sheep steal
ing expedition.
Major S. NJ. Yost, the Navajoe Indian Agent at
Fort Defiance, gives the following account of these
sheep.
The sheep arc the finest looking ! have ever
seen. Some Of them will weigh two hundred
pounds and over. We have here now at the post,
selected from this immense herd. four large rams,
which sport each Of them four long horns, either
prong being at least eight inches long. They are
a curiosity in their way"
The following arc the "hrave officers" and the
companions that engage in this sheep stealing
* plot
''Oapts. Elliott and Hatch and Lieut.. Averelle,
three companies mounted Rifles; Lieuts. Whip
pie and Ilildt, three companies Infantry ; and
Capt. Lucero and his guides and spies"
The troops were to leave on the 10th or Goth,
on n second ex expedition, and from the following
which is the concluding paragraph in Major Yost's
lettor--it wonld seem that they mean to steal all
the sheep the Indians have:
"The Indians have $50, 900 sheep at least, and
about GO, 600 horses. These are their wealth.
! Their care and trouble now mostly Is 10 secure
them. Destroy them and they will become despe'
rate. Unencumberod with their herds and they
will enter field with the full determination to fight
it out. A second edition of the Florida war may
be expected. Peace may be plead for TO cave the
stock, but these lost and war to the knifs will be
the motto. Mark the prediction"

MADNESS OF THE KING OF PRUssIA.-The Der.
lin correspondent Of the New York Tribune, in
describing the insanity of the King Of Prussia
which, as is usual in cases arising from softening
of the brain, is intermittent, states that the
Queen, anxious to conceal his true condition from
the people, has been in the habit of availing her.
self of his lucid intervals to bring him before the
public. This, as will be seen, has not always
turned GU, very happily:
In the presence of the Queen of Portugal,
who celebrated her nuptials at Berlin, per pro
curam, the King was to have publicly assisted at
the church ceremonies. Everything was ready.
and ministers, aides de.cam2, c%ourtiers. foreign
ambassadors, and the bride herself, were waiting
for him, when all at once, despite the desperate
efforts Of the Queen, he was overtaken by the
Authorization of believing himself the bridegroom.
Some queer remarks he dropped as to his singular
destiny in being married again during the lifetime
Of his first spouse and as to the improperly of his
(the Underground appearance in q military uni
form, left his exhibitors no chance but to counter.
mand the spectacle which had been need.
The boldness of the Queens operations may be
inferred from the following incident: There exists
still an old custom at Postdam, according to which
the fisherman once in the year pay to the King an
old feudal tribute Of fish. On that occasion. the
Queen to provet to the men of the kingdom the false.
hood of the rumors then circulating as to the state
Of the royal mind dared to invite the foremost of
these men to a fish dinner, to be presided over by
the King himself. In fact. the dinner went of
pretty well, the King muttering some words learn
ed by Iote, smiling, and, on the whole. behaving
properly. The queen, anxious lest the scene so
we'll got up should be spoiled, fastened to give the
guests the signal Of departure, when all at once
the King rose, and 10 a laundering voice demand
ed TO be put il the frying pan. The Arabian tale
Of the man converted into a fish became a reality
with HIM"
