1t is said that the Populations of
the Indian tribes who have been to
Washington, to converse with the
great-tather there, are subjected to
very rigid cross examination after
their return. The stories they bring
back OF the wonders of civilization,
thrill their simple neighbors, as the
fabulous tales of the wealth of the
Western world thrilled the Spaniards
of old. The railroad especially is q
great source of marvel to them. AZ
ter many minute inquiries in regard
to it, they will sit for hours in solemn
silence, pondering the wondrous tales
they have heard I; and then often come
to the sage conclusion that their com
rades have learned bad habits of the
whites, and come home to tell them a
u" heap of lies !" A good deal of
amusement was caused last winter,
during the visit of one of these Indian
Populations to Washington Some
waggish "Black Republican " assured
them privately that their great IA
Their" was great liar, and only ell
ticcd them there to deceive and over
reach them Their pcrplexity, on
hearing this, was beyond description,
and they have not settled the question
in their own mind to this day.

EDITORIAL DEMONSTRATIONS are some
what remarkable for traits of charac.
ter. We have sometimes reflected
upon what the probable cause of this
might be, and we have come to the
conclusion that editors, like other hu
man beings, are affected by circum
stances, place having much to do with
it. Who, for example, but a country
editor, and a Western one at that
would address his readers in the fol
lowing strain. Let us premise by in
forming the reader that the extract is
from the Magnolia Flag. Magnolia il

CAUSE or INDIAN TROUBI Es.-WC have
heretofore alluded to the probable con-
nection of the recent alarming Indian
troubles in Washington and Oregon
Territories with certain treaties long
since signed by the Indians, but even
now remaining before the Senate of
the United States not ratified. We
learn from the Washington Star that
the Indian tribes in those territories
number in the aggregate upward of
fifteen thousand souls, and that they
have coded to tho United States gov.
eminent between siXty-two and sixty.
three millions of acres of land, for
which they were to receive, within
twenty years, two millions and fifty
thousand dollars in money, besides
the residence among them of physi.
clans, school teachers, farmers, &c
These treaties, ten in number, were
signed by the tribes three years ago
Although they have not been approved
by the Senate, the whites are said to
be taking possession of the lands con,
veyed by them, and are driving of
the yet rightful owners. 1t is no won,
der that the latter are dissatisfied,
and in some cases have been provoked
into hostilities. The treaties have
been duly laid before the Senate, but
the majority of that body have been
so engrossed with trying to force
slavery into Kansas that they have
found no time to attend to the Indians.
1t may be, also, that many of the
members are infected with the Wash,
ington Unions idea that Indians, like
negroes, have "no rights which white
men are bound to respect" under our
government.

SLAYER Captured.

On the DIST nit. the United States
brig Dolphin, Lieut.. John n. Mafiit
commanding, sailed from Sagua la
Grande, in Cuba, and at daylight dis
covered sail ahead standing on the
same course as the Dolphin, which
gained on her very rapidly during the
day. At p NJ the sail ahead hauled
on the wind, as if trying to get on:
of the Dolphin's course, which caused
her to be considered a suspicious
craft. The Dolphin tackled and stood
off in pursuit, hosting the English
colors, and fired a blank cartridge
which not being answered by the
other vessel another was fired at half
past p. NJ, and this also being un
noticed, at p. NJ. she fired a shot
across the bows Of the suspected YES
sci, which had the effect of producing
the American flag at her peak but
she still continued on her course and
seemed to be making her best en-.
deavors TO escape, when a we'll d.
rcctcd shot from the Dolphin took cf.
feet i'll her fore rigging, causing her
to hcave to and lower her colors. On
boarding her she proved to be brig
from the coast Of Africa, with three
hundred and eighteen negroes. Her
crew were instantly confined, and the
prize placed in charge of Lieut.. J.
NJ. Bradford and Second Lieut.. Chas.
c. Carpenter and sixteen men from the
Dolphin, with orders to proceed to
Charleston, S. C., at which place they
shortly after arrived. The slaves
were landed at Fort Pinckney and are
in charge of the U. S. Marshall, while
the Dolphin has proceeded to Boston
having the supposed SLAYER captain on
board.

The Railroad Convention.

The Railroad Convention, held in
St. Charles City on Thursday of this
week, was an important event in the
history of the Upper Cedar Valley
On the forenoon of that day tn.
weather was very inauspicious, it be.
ing rainy, and it was supposed that
the attendance at the convention
would be meagre. But tho result
proved that, regardless of rain, the
leading citizens of the valley,-from
the counties of Blackhawk, Bremen,
Butler, Chickasaw, Floyd and Mitch
cll,-camc in in large numbers--and
the delegation from Blackhawk were
attended by the Cedar Falls Brass
Band, which served very materially to
enliven the occasion. The large hall
of Cheney & Bracket, in which the
convention was held, was crammed al.
most to suffocation, with an interested
and intelligent audience. The pro-
ceedings, (Which are well reported by
the secretaries, and given elsewhere
in this paper, showed that the Rail.
road Officers and citizens present, were
all fully determined to go to work at
once and build the Railroad. Certain

by what he then and there saw and
heard, to believe that the day is not
distant when the locomotives whistle
will be heard, and it, with it's attend

gers and merchandise, will be seen
speeding through the valley of the up.

From statistics carefully collected
in England, it appears that in that
country three hundred and fifty-seven
Incorporate persons die for every one
hundred and ten of Incorporate hab-
its. At twenty years of age, an in
temperate man may expect to live fif-
teen and a half years longer, while a
temperate man of the same age may
expect to live forty-four years longer.
At thirty an Incorporate man will
probably live fourteen years longer.
a temperate man thirty years longer.
At forty, an incorporate man will or

a temperate man will live twenty
nine years longer.

\ correspondent of the New York
Times makes the following statements
in regard to Illinois /:
"Mr. Buchanan and his office-hold
crs represent the regular Democratic
organization in Illinois. They have
$4,000 voters. That is my estimate
and it is concurred in by Fitz Henry
Warren. one of the closest political
calculators in the West. Mr.. Douglas
has $4,000 Democratic voters. The
Americans may be estimated at 25,.
900, and hold the balance Of power
Their leaders have gone over to Mr.
Douglas, and the contest now is for
the privates. The Republicans think
they will get three-fifths of them. II
Mr.. Buchanan should remain firm,
Senator Douglas would be beaten
ought of sight. He would not have
one-fourth of the Legislature. But he
will not remain firm. He will yield
just in time to allow his $4,000 to
settle comfortably into line. In that
contingency the star of Mr.. Douglas
will ascend to the zenith, and will tri-
umph over all his enemies, including
Mr.. Buchanan"
The Chicago Press says that an en-.
bassy has been dispatched from Hi,
nois to Washington, consisting of
three gentlemen, to procure some con.
ciliatory proposition from the Prcsi-
dent and Cabinet, as the basis of uni,
ting the two branches of the Illinois
Democracy.

A woman is said to have been the
cause of the protracted war between
the Sioux and Chippewas. The two
tribes were formerly friendly and al
peace with each other, until rupture
took place at Yellow Lake, on the St
Croix. There, as the story goes, the
tribes met for tete-a-tete, and, when
they came to separate, the wife Of a
noted Chippewa Chief went off with a
Sioux. The Chippewa followed and
overlook them, and killed the guilty
pair, whom he found sitting side by
side The friends of the Sioux avenged
his death, and there has been war ever
since.

If the times are dull, sharpen your
wits with view to greater efforts.
If times are hard, work the harder
If times are slow, get up the more
steam. In this way times can be
made better. We have no sympathy
with croakers. 1t is within the pow
err of the business community to make
business good, if they will set about
it Alright. We hate that detestable
old stereotyped song" There is moth
ing doing" Well, whose fault is it
Sirs, it is your own. Stir round and
there will soon be something doing.
1t is by general consent that there is
at certain times 50 little doing. If in
stead of this, there was a general de-
termination that much should be done,
it would be so. Concert of effort will
insure the return of prosperity. Keep
moving. If you cant make $1,000,
make 500; if not 500, make 81.
At any rate do something.
