DEATH of OShkosh.-This celebrated
chief of the Menominee tribe of Indians
in the northern part of this state, died a
short time since. A newspaper publish
ed at Shawno gives the following par
ticulars of his death:
One Of the traders sold him whiskey.
He and his two sons drank freely, and
became intoxicated. Oshkosh who is
very cross when drunk, got fighting with
his sons--they getting exasperated tied
him, and logged him SO severely that he
died from the effects of it! He was
buried last Tuesday. All the tribe at
tended his funeral, also the traders Ke-
shena. He was buried in two coffins
the inner one was lined with black vel.
vet, and tastefully lined with ribbon.
He was painted with vermillion. The
coffin had a glass fixed over the face
through which the sorrewing tribe got
the last look of their beloved chief. At
ter the funeral, Krorou made speech
against the ruinous effects of whiskey.
and how it had caused the death of their
lamented chief. They danced their
death dance, and one by one dispersed
to their homes. A-quon-a-may, his ell
dest son, it is expected will succeed him.

The Sabbath schools of the Baptist and Pres

excursion to this city on Saturday last. The
scholars together with their teachers and friends
formed procession at the Lake Shore depot
and marched to the park the number Of persons
in the procession was probably five hundred
The company had provided itself with an ample
supply of refreshments, which were distributed
among the mustitude After the dispensing Of
refreshments, short and appropriate addresses
were delivered by Rev. Mr.. Clark, Rev. Mr.
Hanson, Rev. Mr.. Gridley, and Rev, Mr.. Smith.
The weather was highly propitious, and the oc-
casion passed off pleasantly.
By some most unaecountable mistake or neg
lect, the friends of Sabbath schools in this city,
were not appraised of the visit of their Wauke-
gan friends; no preparation, therefore, had been
made to give a suitable reception to the visitors
and no seats, stands or tables provided in the
park for the accommodation of those present.

nually.

of our planters, we would suggest that
IN Agricultural meeting be called to
meet at the Court House, in this parish,
in October next, and that steps be to,

During the fore part Of the week we
had heavy rains in various portions OF
the parish, and the roads, in many pla-
ces, are in a sad condition. No where
in this part Of the parish have the roads
been repaired. We learn that the plan
tiers, on the road leading from this point
to Bayou Crosse Tete, are now at work
repairing it in a thorough manner. The
recollection Of the condition Of this
road during the months Of January,
February and March last, is a sufficient
incentive to those interested, to prevent
a recurrence Of such a state Of things.
We trust that the inspectors in other
portions Of the parish will, ere long, do
something to have the repairs executed
in their respective districts. v-
The population of cur Parish is rapid.
ly increasing, and nothing contributes 80
much to the development Of a country
as good roads and speedy communities
ton. We need only a little energy and
attention on the part of the inspectors
and the cooperation Of the planters to
make the roads complete.

FRoA THE PLArNs.-The New Orleans
papers of the 18th inst, publish a tele-
gram announcing that the Utah Peace
Commissioners passed through St. Louis
on the 9th, on their way to Washington.
Mr.. Cronin, Of the party, reports, that
when twenty-one days from Albuquer-
que, they met three hundred and seven
ty-fve men, well armed, on Shawnee
Fork, Arkansas River, on their way to
Sonora A large body Of mounted men,
numbering some 800, armed with Min
ME rifles and Colts revolvers, and hav-
ing with them a battery of eighteen
guns under Col. Titus, are reported to
have passed through Chasto, bound for
Sonora. 1t was reported that General
Walker was at the head of the expedi-
ton, and was with Col.Titus at Ell Paso.
The Delta corrects this statement, and
saws that two days ago Gen. Walker
was in Mobile, and that he would just
as soon be caught with the devil as with
Titus. Mr.. Cronin reports having met
also q large body Of Indians on the
Pawnee Fork, assembled there to re-
ceive their annuities from Col. Bent.

THE LEVEES.

Soon the Police Jury Of this parish is
to assemble. No subject, in our opin-
ion, ought to occupy the attention and
command the consideration of the Po-
lice Jury more than that of our Levees.
1t is no argument that the Levees hav-
ing withstood the food, and preserved
the community from a disastrous over
flow, that they are entirely secure. It
is well known that had no c~reyasses oc-
cured above this point, the overflow
Of the whole lower Mississippi was in
evitable. What saved us this year may
not occur during another season of high
water.
We see that the Governor of Missis-
sippi has called an extra session OF the
Legislature of that State, for the pur-
pose Of devising means for the safe pro-
lection Of the planting community from
the recurrence of the disasters of the
present season. Arkansas will do like.
wise.
We are informed that the citizens Of
the upper Parishes Of this State have
petitioned Governor Wicklife as to the
propriety Of calling an extra session Of
the Legislature to come to their relief
The result Of this will be to conine
the water Of the Mississippi to its prop.
er channel, and then our Levees will
have to bear the whole force of the wa.
ter.
The question arises, are our levees,
private and public, prepared to stand
firm against another food, under the
circumstances Surely not. Then
it becomes the Parish authorities to use
the proper means to make them secure,
at the earliest time, and not wait till
the eleventh hour.
Our pasih has been preserved from
overflow. this year, by the timely help
Of the State in rebuilding the Grand
Levee, and by large and judicious ap.
preparations Of money by the Police
jury, for the purpose of building, in a
substantial manner, the numerous parish
levees. Let the present Police Jury
continue to carry on q. system which
has proved 80 benefcial-let it enforce
its laws in relation to the levees with
promptness andthe parish will be secure
from overRows.
