Unyeil thy bosom, faithful tomb
Take this new tueasure to thy trust,
And give these sacred relics room
To seek a slunber in the dust,

While the boys passed round the grave
and deposited evergreens for the last
resting place Of their faithful teacher.
The burial case containing the loved
form was then removed from the hearse
and deposited in the tomb, and the
young ladies strewed it with garlands
and bouquets, that the earth might not
press too heavily upon the noble heart
which had SO often responded to their
calls for sympathy; and as the last sweet
notes Of the singers died away in the
solemn voice CT the preacher commit
ted the dust to earth, and her soul to
God who gave it, many manly face
was turned aside to conceal the unbid-
den tear which welled up in symathy
with the sobs ofpupils who were unable
to restrain their grief as the last visible
tie Vas sundered which had bound
them to friend whose place here must
ever remain vacant.
To the chosen companion of her life
he whose strong arm and stout heart
had been her shield and refuge-these
manifestations OF sympathy and love,
and the recollection that the image Of

heart of many grateful pupil, must
prove a consolation-for he knows
it is all that friendship can offer in the
day of sorrow and sffiiction.

A NEW TERRITORY PRoPosED.-A cor
respondent of the Boston Journal, writes
thus from Sumner, Kansas
There is political movement of some
Importance going on in connection with
these gold discoveries. It is the fornaq>
lion ofd new territory hom the western
portion of Kansas. The parties in the
vicinity of Pixies Peak it is said, will. at
an early day, elect delegate to Congress,
and send him on to the next session, with
petition for a new territorial organi-
cation. 1t is said that gentleman from
Kansas City, who is to start with one Of
the trains leaving this week. will return
as the embryotic Congressman. +.
The grounds upon which they ask this
action of Congress, will be that they are
live hundred miles from the we'll settled
portions OF Kansas, and its seat of GOV
eminent, it will be impossible for them to
ind any protection from our territorial
authorities and that, unless furnished
with an organization of thier own. mob
law must prevail, and they must suffer
from general anarchy. Seven hundred
miles. they claim. are quite too much for
the length OF a State, where railroads are
unknown and steamboats, impracticable.

The CAMELs.-Our readers are all

three years this Government has import,
ed seventy FIVE cameIs, intending the to
be used in conveying baggage and sub
sistence for the army over the pIHins OF
the interior, where, from the scarcity Of
water and berbage, it was difficult to
travel with horses and mules. A portion
OF these cameIs Cthirty four in number
were imported in May, 1856. and the re-
mainder forty one in January, 1867
The latest accounts respecting them are
that forly!nine, including all those last
imported, are at Camp Verde, near San
Antonio, Texas. and the others are ems
ployed By Lieutenant Bealc in his explor

in a thriving condition, only one OF the
last lot imported having died since their
arrival in this country, while some twelve

young zones. it is stated. bid fair to grow
up as healthy, large and strong as those
imported. thus proving beyond controver-

The Secretary OF war is thoroughly sat-

imals. and Of their superiority for army
service ia the wilds Of the interior, over
both the horse and the mule. This. opin.
ion is confirmed. too by the experiments
