OUR MEMBER IN THE FIGHr.-The
Washington correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl Gazene thus writes in regard TO the
fight On the floor Of the House of Repre-.
sentatives, last Friday night:
The manner in which the Northern men
stood up on that occasion, meeting every
requirement manfuliv and hurting defiance
right in the teeth of insolent aggressors,
has made decided impression, and may
be the means of preventing further diff
culties. Grow, Washi'urn of Illinois, Pot
ter of Wisconsin, and others, showed
spirit and purpose which will tell hereaf-
ter, should the experiment be repeated Of
attempting to dragoon men into submis-
sion by threats of violence. Potter was
especially noticed in the midst Of the par
ty where dozen members were engaged,
hewing his way through all oppostion,an
doing vigorous service in a manner which
quite astonished and shocked some of the
chiyalry,

following:
GA store mason noined John Farris had
resided in this city for some time He was
estineerned by every one for his industry
and upright conduct, He married q young
country girl. by whom lie had several
children. He built him house, and liv-
ed in peace and comfort--for he could ea-
silly earn three dollars day.
"lohn Farris was good Catholic, and
one of the most Jealous members of the
little congregation in this place. He was
supposed to be either an lrishman or
Scot hman.
what then was the surprise of all
on learning that this honest workman
and father of large family had Just
been arrested on authority as Fugitive

"Ccrtainly il never would have entered
into the mind of any one, however close
the scrutiny-esrecialiy when his ihteili-
gance and estimable qualities were consid-
ed, that John Fawls bad African blood in
his veins. But the Judge, to whom, with!
out doubt, were furnished undisputed ev.
idrnce of the former condition of the un-
fortunate man. surrendered him np 10
the Deputy Marshall of Alabama, and Far
ris was taken away to slavery, leaving be-
hind his wife and family and the little
home, which, by long years of industry, he
had reared.
.'Farris is owned by man named Rag
Ian, residing in Alabama, from whom he
escaped in 1862, and after many dramatic
adventures took refuge in Pittburg; but
man named Shaw, who had been sent out
on pursuit, succeeded in discovering him,
and the poor slave had to leave precipi-
lately. 1t was then that he conceived the
project of coming to Brunswick.
THE wife wished to follow the hus4
band to Alabama, but after much entreaty
on his part,she consented, for her children's
sake, to remain behind.
"Son1e friends of the unfortunate fami-
ly subscribed $4,000, which they offered
for the release of Farris, but Raglan, the
master, refused To sell.

The STATE TAx.-Mr. Davis. the Treas
urer Of Waukesba county, passed into the
StateTreasury the tax due from thatCoun-
ty this morning amounting to $1,000.
There is bill pending in the Legisla-
ture to postpone the time for the collec-
ton of taxes. The people do not ask for
such measure. Ii is mainly urged by
county and town Treasures who have
money in their hands, and are anxious to
hold it in their possession for five or sin
months longer.
1t seems to US that sound policy would
dictate the rejection of the pending bill
on this subject State Journal.

The southwestern Boundaries.

The Indian Bureau is 10 receipt of CON.
munication from A. IL. Jones and II. NJ.
Brown, who are now engaged in the survey
Of the boundary lines between the Indian
tribes in the Southwest, dated at Camp Rad
yininski. near the Tooth meridian west Ion.
ci,ude, Nov. Both, 1858. The writer's state
they have good observatory, and their To-
struments ore all in excellent order. They
expect to winter at their present stopping
place. as it will require fully three months
constant observation to identify the initial
point Of the l00th meridian, which is an i'm.
portant object with them.
Their party is under the protection Of Ma.
Tor Van Dorm and his command. They speak
10 the highest terms Of this officer, and allude
TO his recent battle with the Camanches, on
the Canadian river, as having been the sever
est punishment those tribes ever received
They also pronounce the chsstisement ss be-
ing richly merited, and assert that the ludi-
ans we're the same gang who, under old Buff
falo Hump, have long been committing de-
predstions in Western Texas, and who threat
eued the safety of For, Arbuckle last sum-
mer, when the troops were mostly withdrawn
from that post.
The hostile attitude Of these same Indians
has delayed the prosecution Of the survey in
which the writers of this letter ore engaged
at least three months; but through the ef-
fcient conduct of Maj or Van Dorm and his
command, it is supposed that there does not
DOW, nor will not fer some time to come, ex.
ist any danger Of new outbreak among
them. They have entirely dieappeared since
the fight, but notwithstanding that Major Van
Dorm has scouting parties out aim ost con-
stan,ly, although the weather Is Indictment
and the ground covered with snow foot

mand, as we'll as of the members Of the sur
yeying party, is excellent - Wash Star.
