AMUSEMENT OF THE STUDIoUs.-
Every class of men have some charac-
teristic amusement to which they are
attached. What is relaxation to one
is probably labor to another. A man
who has been confined to an Office
chair all day, when he wishes to divert
himself, takes walk, a mode of enioy-
ment quite alien to the notions Of an
unfortunate penny postman. Amuse-
ment consists principally in the excite
ment which the mind experiences from
change of ideas, and it is on this ac-
count that we so frequently find men
talking pleasure in pursuits which ap.
pear entirely foreign to their usual hab-
It's and occupations. Thus we see the
highest intellects delighting in trifes.
Agesilans diverting his children and
himself with riding on stick, and
Scipio picking up shells on the sea-shore.
This seems to be the reason why our
poets do not carry their poetry into
life, and why such discrepancy exists
between their biography and their
verses. Literary men are often addicted
to amusements which have nothing In
tellectual about them. Their object is
to let their minds lie fallow, as a MEM
ber of the agricultural committee would
express himself and they delight to
abandon themselves to pleasures in
which there is no waste of thought.

CONCLUSION OF A TREATY OF PEACE.
On the 18th September, Gen. Clarke
concluded a formal treaty with the
Ceur d'Alene tribe, granting them
peace. The conditions granted them
were: That they should give up the
young men who commenced the attack
on Col. Steptoe; that they should give
mp chief and four others, with their
families, to go to Walla-Walla, and
remain there year, unless sooner
dismissed as hostage for good beha-
viour OF their tribe; that they should
give up all public property or other
property taken in Col. Steptoe's fight;
and that all white men should pass
through their territory hereafter unmo-
Tested. The first three conditions had
been complied with. The hostage and
others are now with the United States
troops.
On the 23d September treaties upon
the same terms were concluded with
the Nez Perces, the Spokans, Pen
d'Oreilles, the Colvilles, the Isles dc
Pierres, and other tribes. The Suakes
had also sued for peace. On the oath
September, noted chief named DUAL
chin, was seized and hanged in the
camp. The command, at latest dates,
was in camp, II miles from Steptoe's
battle ground, but is supposed by now
to have reached the Dalles. The
troops belonging to garrisons in Wash
ington and Oregon Territories have
been ordered to their respective sta
tons. The Artillery battalion is on
the march from Walla- -Walla to Fort
Vancouver. General Clarke is now in
San Francisco, and the war is definitely
closed. Gen. Harvey, who arrived at
San Francisco on the ,&evens, on the |
10th October, will, therefore, have lit
tie to do, the Indians having already
been vanquished.

Keep pushing-'tis wiser

Keep pushing-'tis wiser .of
Than sitting aside, Ia
And dreaming and signing,
And waiting the tide;
In life's earnest battle grs rr5g
They only prevail r
Who early march onward,
And say never fail
With an eye ever open, H
A tongue that's not dumb,
And heart that will never
To sorrow succumb;
You'll battle and conquer, SIX
Though thousands assail;
How strong and how mighty
Who never say fail.
Ahead, then--keep pushing,
And elbow your way, a3t
Unheediug the envious, e.,
All asses that bray;
All obstacles vanish,
All enemies quail,
In the might of their wisdom, ..FT
Who never say fail.

Your footsteps to guide;
In storm and in sunshine,
Whatever assail,
Wen onward and conquer,
And never say fail.

Capt. E. D. Keyes, Sd Artillery,

energetic and gallant throughout.
Although the troops extended over a
mile, yet the Captain was always in
the right place at the right time.
The howitzer battery, under Lieut..

Company ID, Sd Artillery, behaved
most gallantly throughout the action.
Eight shells were thrown into the midst
of the enemy during the fight, and

The friendly Nez Perces were en-
ployed chiefly as spies and ssguides, as
well as guards to pack train. As usual,
they behaved well.
