On One Condition.

Some years ago, when one of the
middle States was framing a new con-,
stitution the discussion was warm and
obstinate. Many days had been spent
in fiery debate, and the vote was at
length about to be taken. just at that
moment n country member who had
been absent for some days entered the
house and took his seat. Another
member, who was in favor of the a
mcndcd constitution, went to him and
endeayOrcd to make a convert Of him.
'IoU must vote for the new constitu-
ton by ali means, said he.
Twill think of it, returned the coun.
try member.
But you must make up your mind
at once, man, as the vote is about to be
taken
Tho country member scatched his
head and seemed puzzled.
Come why DO you hesitate will
you vote for the new constitution ? l
am sure it will give satisfaction

An INDIAN WEDDING.

The Nebraska City Ne0s of the 3D.
inst, contains long account of tho
marriage of u Pawnce chief to a blood
royal squaw Of the Otoe tribe. Tho
bridegroom was named Whitewater,
and the bride Wah-mush, pc shinga.
We extract the following: ..,
The chieftain S daughter was elegant
" dressed in a red flannel shirt with
deep blue calico border, q checked
apron, n summcr-killed buffalo robe
and white felt hat. Her jewels were
magnificent. From either auricular
depended bright ornaments of brass,
tin and copper.
We must not omit to mention that
Miss Wa.mus-pc-shinga also wears q
cred pcttcoat," embroidered accord.
ing to design Of her own, with por-
cupine Quills, representing a desperate
dogfght. Her entire wardrobe and
jewclry could not have cost less than
six thousand dollars in Fontcnellc mon.
ey. The bridegroom was attircd in
all the magniiicence which his rank
and wealth demanded. lie wore
standing collar, medal Of President
Pierce, blue straight collarcd soldier
coat, with brass buttons and an Gle
giant pair of Spanish spurs, while his
stalwart loins were admirably clothed
in an ancient coffee sack. Altogether
the appearance of both the bride and
the groom was appropriate to their high
sphere in life.
The most sumptuous feast awaited
the guests at the residence of tho
brides father. 1t was spread in u
camp kettle and suspended over tho
fire that burned in the centre of that
princely lodge. 1t consisted ofyoung
dog meat, very tender, blue corn, and
old dog meat, beaver tails and mule
steak, fresh fish and sugar, making al
together one ef the most palatable and
nOuriShing compounds that ever graced
a royal camp.kcttle. The horn spoons
Of occidental luxury seldom convey to

UTAH EXPEDITION
{ Fort Leaven worM, Kansas, | d,
March IL, 1858.

Mafcn III, 1905.
A mail and express reached us to /.
day from the army at Fort Brdgcr,
with dates to the Goth of january
The army continued in good healih-
no appearance of scurvy whatever
and the animals grazing on Henry's $
Fork were improving finely and would
probably be in a good condition when
their services would become necessary.
Colonel Johnston intends pushing
on at the earliest practicable moment,
forcing his way, if necessary, step by
stey. The first movement will depend
on the arrival of the supplies to be for
warded from Laramie, and the animals
for which Capt. Marcy was sent to New
Mexico. The opinion of an intelligent
officer is that the advance will COM
mence as early as the first of May
yt"v probably not beyond the 18th.
Brig,..am Young is sending some hos
tile messages to Johnston, which, Ia
ken in connection 18th his reasonable
message to the Legislature, and the har-
angues Of the chief-priests for sopa-
rate government, lead the oi%ccrs to
think that resistance of some kino will
be met. The precise nature of it how
over, cannot be anticipated. Young
is too shrewd to risk an open BATTLE =
lie will probably resort to a species of
guerilla warfare which may annoy but
cannot check.
The faith Of Johnston doubtless
rests upon the fact that he knows his
officers and men, and can depend on
them to the last man and the last hour.
The littlo army will move like wall OF
steel in the execution of its orders. -
The movement will be watched with
deep interest, but the result, I think
and hope, is beyond doubt. 1t may
not be pleasant to the Saints to hear
Johnston's cannon firing the customa
ry national salute of 81 guns on the
Fourth of July; but mark me it viii
be done. Many of our gallant mcr
may not hear it, but their comrades
will.
Orders from Washington, by tele
graph, have materially modified tho
movement referred to in my last. But
nine teams, escorted by detachment
of foot troops left yesterday. The Of
ficers accompanying it are, Col. Hofl'
man, who superintends the transporta
ton of supplies from Laramie, Lieut.
enant Gill, 4th Artillery, and Lieuten
ants cambridge, Saunders and Carol
who proceed to join their respective
companies at Fort Bridger. Assistant

There are about 600 adults, of both

And left thee alone, IN thy hearts blank despair,
To wrestlc and ugonze in silent prayer;
Yet God forbid that thy young heart should e'er be-
