Texas Land.

The Legislature Of Texas has just pass
ed law raising the price Of land script,
to S1,--S1 rs and 50 according to
grades, 1t has heretofore been issued at
so cents. The measure will have tho
effect to raise the price Of all lands.
Now that the poorest public lands can
not be had for less than 81, other lands
will raise to that minemum at least.
While the bill was under discussion. and
particularly while it was passing from
the Legislature to the Governor, for his
approval there was great rush to the
Land office to get script at the old price.
The Governor without delay, placed his
signature to the bill to arrest the specu,
lators, some Of whom were cut short in
their operations, halfcompleted with the
Land Commissioner. This will be ac-
ceptable intelligence to the holders oil

A ROLLING MILL.

In the Mining Journal Of New York Of tho
9th ult., we perceive that the owner Of the
Indianapolis Rolling Mill is in Now York
City cndeavoring to dispose Of six shares of
81, 500 each in the Mill.
The total shares in the concern are IL or
sl14, 900, which is good capital for Roll
ing Mill in an interior town. Had the pro
prietor como to this city it would not have
cos. half that money to have erected Mill
equally as good. He could have had Penn
sylvania, Ohio, and Tennessee Iron delivered
at his own wharf at the cost at the Furnace,
only adding river freight, which is far less
than it can be got for at indianapolis. Coal
is stated to be delivered them at &3 per ton,
whereas here it would be not over 81 soc Ter
ton. Labor also is cheaper here than in any
other part of the State.
We hear that we are to have Rolling Mill,
Ono Of our citizen is now absent making thc
preliminary arrangements. The saving in
coat of iron--cost Of coal-and lobor will be
sufficient of themselves 10 yield reasonable
profit here, when tho indianapolis Mil
would be compelled to stand idle. X.

The Cherokee Nathan.

A traveller through the Cherokee and
Choctaw Nations, in a letter to the ST. Lou
is Republican, gives the following account of
the state Of affairs in the Indian Territory
At the Arkansas We ,cave the Cherokee
Nation and come among the Creeks. The
traveller, in passing through that portion Of
the Indian Territory occupied by the Chcro-
KEGS, cannot but be favorably impressed with
the evidences of civilization which are mani
fest on all sides. Their dwellings arc neat,
and their farms arc under hgh state OF
cultivation. The nation now numbers about
twenty two thousand, including about one
thousand slaves. The form of government
under which they live is very similar to that
Of the United States, being divided into four
Observation-Disclosures executive. judicial
and military. They have permanent school
fund of two hundred thousand dollars, and
have nearly thirty different schools, where
their children are taught The common branch
rs Of an English education. The Indian
blood, however, is becoming fast extinct. no
great has amalgamation existed among them
for the past quarter of century. In fact, a
| ty in the Cherokee Nation.
But with all the marks of civilization
which surround these Indians, they are In
dams still. 1t is easy to take q white man
and make his nature in keeping with the In
dian, but it is thing next n an impossible
| ty to make the nature Of an Indian accord
with that of the white man. had a CONVEX
sation with full blood Cherokee who had
been raised and educated in New England
but true to his natural instincts, he had for
saken civilized life and taken to the home oi
the red man ,among the mountains ana prai-
ries ofthe ludian Territory. lie was a man
/ OF fine talents, and converscd intcllgently
upon various subjects. He talked freely o.
the Eastern country. All the fields, and
rocks, and rivulcts, the beautiful Connect
cut, the evergreen primitive hedges lying
along its banks, which "had smiled for :
Thousand ages on the march of decay" were
all successive themes for his Imagination
But he had forsaken oil these beautiful scene.
for a precarious livelihood IN the forests, th.
prairics and the wigwam. He remarked that
for reasons founded in the nature of his race
the Indian cannot be satisfied with o mer,
description OF things, however beautiful may
be the style, or harmonies Of verse in which
it is conveyed. But he must sec them q.
they live in their own native magrifcencc
on the eternal mountains, and in the score
untrodden vale.
1 find that the subject of forming n Stat,
Government out OF the Territory, and apply
ing for admission into the Union, is being
freely discussed among the whites and half
breeds of the Cherokee nation. This portion
of the inhabitants are very enthusiastic in TIN
matter, while it meets with great opposition
from the full blooded Indians of the Nation
am creditably informed that John Ross
Chief of the Chcrokccs, who is nearly fnll
blooded white man, is very strongly in favo
Of the movement.

DECLINE OF PARrrEs.-Thc most encour-
aging indication Of the present day is the ev-
ident tendency Of the free thinkers Of tho
country to escape from thebonds and tram
mels Of party. The spirit Of party, the sub
serviency Of ones thoughts and actions to
the will and direction Of o set, . prejudiced
and self interested faction, is fatal to that
manly independence Of Judgement and firm
ness of principle that should charactcrizc the
citizens of free republic. Allegiance to par
ty is the doctrine Of demagogues; and round
Of cant maxims is put forth to enforce it up
on the wavcring minds Of the weak and sus-
pcc;ed- Men admonished to follow the
lead not only Of platforms and resolutions,
and caucus harangues, but more especially
of certain prominent persons thrust forward
as interpreters and spokesman; whose words
must be taken as directory and conclusive BY
those who allowed themselves to be ranked
rs their followers; or rather who are listed
and drilled, and cudgsllcd, and frightened
into an undertaking adherence to the as
sumptions of the party they are delegated te
represent.

A FEDERAL UNION OF THE BRITISH
NORTH AMERICA Provinces, has been
long under consideration. The great OBJ
stacle to the confederacy. has been the
difficulties Of INSTRUMENTATION. In
winter all intercourse between Canada
and the other colonies was cut off. In
summer, New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia can communicate with Canada,
only by tedious voyage up tho st.
Lawrence Gulf and River, or by the
way Of Portland or Boston. These
barriers are now broken down by the
Grand Trunk Railway which is nearly
completed from Port Sarina on Lake HUI
ron to Halifax, opening an avenue from
the best commercial port on the Atlantic
to the remotest settlement Of Canada
West, which will serve to unite al the
provinces together by intimate, social and
commercial intercourse. Their political
Union will follow as a natural conse-
quence. During the last year, the Prov
ince Of Nova Scotia sent Commissioners
to England to confer with the Home
Government upon the subject Of Fed
eral Union. The British Ministry ap-
proved and encouraged the plan. The
Colonial Secretary informed the Commits
sioners, that her Majesty's government
had no desire to interfere with the de
termination to which the colonies them
selves might come on point so imme'
diately affecting their owe interests; ant
that if they should be Of opinion tina
union would advance their prosperity
the government would oppose no obsta
Gle to their wishes. This declaration @
the freedom Of the colonies to decide thi
important question Tor themselves seem
ed to be all that could lie desired froI
the government.
The colonies have now only to agre
upon a basis Of union; to accomplish II
important measure.
The suggestion Of erecting the Mort
Aerican Provinces into kingdom, ar
placing one Of Queen yictoria's Sol
upon the Throne, is said to have con
from England, and was first promulg
ted by certain military officers, who a
supposed to have spoken under instru
tons. The notion is not popular wi
the native Canadians. 1t is thought
be prudent scheme Of the Queen
settle one Of her boys comfortably

The BuRNIS6 OF THE LOCKWOOD is do
scribcd rs a terrific scene. It was eight o'clock
in the evening when she rounded out from
the landing, and the fire was first seen burst
ing out from the watchman's room, from
which it spread with fearful rapidity. The
boat was headed for the Kentucky shore,
into which she ran her bow twenty feet, by
which every one was enabled to gain the
shore. While the boat was making her way
to the opposite shore envolopcd in flames, the
levcc ut New Albany was crowded with cit
liens, hundreds Of whom had relatives and
friends on board, and the excitement, and
agony Of tho crowd was Undesirable. I,
was soon allayed by intelligence from the op-
posite side that all were safe. In few mo-
ments after the escape Of the passengers the
boat swung out from the bank and driftcd
down the river to the lower point on the New
Albany landing, q floating mass of fame
In the darkness Of the night, the scene wa,
grand and beautiful, though terrible. In
half an hour the charred hull was all tina,
remained Of one Of the most beautiful spec
linen Of New Albany marine architecture and
mechanism that has ever LEFT her wharf.
The Pilot, Mr.. VIM. Dean, heroically stood
at his post until the boat reached the shore
and all were safe, when finding all retreat
cut off, and being surrounded by the flames
he jumped from tho hurricane deck to tho
shore, fortunately, without injury. The en-.
ginec, Mr.. S. Armstrong, also stood ut hi.
post till the last, and with the pilot, were tn,
last to leave the boat.
Capt. Lamotho loses by this disaster Oh,
entire savings of a life of industry and fru
gality. In o few minutes he was reduce,
from competency to restitution. Ilelost no
only his boat but in the excitement and OK
ertions to save others, he threw off his Goa
containing his pocket book with all his none,
and valuable papers, which were consumed
The boat was built in the most thorough an,
substantial manner, and elegantly furnished
for the Missouri River trade, at cost of owe
$50, 900. There was fire insurance to cove
her while bailding, Of $4,000. 1t is said th
payment Of the policy will be resisted ON til
ground that the risk had expired ON be
leaving the wharf.
