The Indians ut Spirit Lake.

hS pa
By the arrival of two members of the
Frontier Guard, who are down for pro-
visions, we learn. that the Indians have
made their appearance at Spirit Lake
The party, numbering about 25, were de-
tanned in custody by Capt. Martin, in or
der to learn all he could in relation to
their character and intentions. They
pretended, as all Indians have done who
have visited the Lake since the massa
ere, to be searching for Ink-pa-du tab.
Two Of the prisoners were recognized as
members fInk-pa du-tah' band by three
residents of Spirit Lake, who were also
recognized as acquaintance by the In
dians themselves. There being no doubt
as TO the identity of the murdcrers, Capt.
Marlain started several of the Guard to
escort them to 1T. Dodge for the pur-
pose of delivering them into the custody
OF Gen. Richards. But on the way down
the Indians outwitted their captors and
escaped. They have not since been
seen. .ra ao
Since the above was put in type,
we learn that s of the rs Indians re-
ierred to above, were captured on the
Little Sioux River, and only arrived at
Spirit Lake as the party were leaving
for Fort Dodge. Among them was a
well known Indian named +" Sleepy Eye"
who is also proven to have been one of
Ink pa-du tabs band of outlaws and u
participant in the shocking, barbarities
of 1857. He will probably be sent down
for trial, before long. I#a .Hf

Gov. MEDARY \ JAYHAwEER.--G
Sam. Medary is getting in bad odor
with the Border Ruffisns, as the follow
ing from the Westport Border Star
of the 4lh would indicate:
1t seems that Medary is in secret
correspondence with Vaughan and the
leading kidnappers of the Territory, aud
that they are all working tngether. This
surprises some of our friends, but We are
sorry to say that we are not at all aston.
ished. We have heard enough of Mr.
Medary's operations TO be convinced that
he has gone over, body, soul and breech
es to the jayhawkcrs.

Brig. Gen. Hon. George w. Jones.

Es1- We apprchend that the people Of
Iowa, if they never before appreciated
Senator JONES misrepresentation Of their
views, and his subservicncy to the slave
power. are now fully aware that he was
amenab!e to these charges. The fact that
Mr.. BUCHANAN has thought him, a north
ern man, worthy of executive patronage,
and especially of a foreign mission, is
proof conclusive of the fact. Mr.. JoNEs
did thus misrepsesent, and was thus sub
scT,icnt, and being kicked out Of his
Senatorial position therefor, by his con-
slituents, has therein given the only evil
dence required by Mr.. BUCHANAN of his
claims TO en- executive appointment. He
therefore has been nominated and con-
firmad as Minister to New Grenada, with
salary Of $500 per annum. The
- fancy" Senator, however, evidently
thinks this rather small pay for the
amount Of dirt which lie has eat, and he
therefore declines residence in Bogota.
Report says that he wanted to be Post
mas;e General, but the President did
not want so brilliant an addition to his
cabinet, and has selected less dazzling
intellect, Mr. HoLr, 10 take the place Of
Mr.. BRowN. deceased Whether our i'm
mortal Brigadier Genera and fancy Sen
ator will receive any higher position il
the Administrations infrmary, remains
10 be seen.

AN IMMENSE LrnRARY,-7An article in
the Jan. number of the Eainbpy Reviesp
relates some curious facts about the con-
tents of the library of the British Muse
UNI. 1t appears that number Of gen
tlemen have been employed twenty years
upon new catalogue Of the books. 1t
has already reached the size of two thou
sand folio volumes. This is perhaps the
largest library in the world !; though the
Bibliotheque Imperial at Paris has eight
hundred thousand separate volumes and
pieces. The Museum has a collection of
about $4,000 books published in the
United States, which is more than double
the extent Of any similar collection OF
American books in our own country.

JOSEPH Bound FOR PIXIES PEAK
During the magic Lantern exhibition
last night at the Sunday School festival
Of the scholars Of the First Presbyterian
Church, the selling of Joseph, by his
brethren. iato Egypt, composed one Of
the series. DIR. PHELPS inquired of the
scholars if they could tell him where
Joseph was going. A little fellow who
had been looking very earnestly at Jo-

Administration Corruption.

Eg- The report OF the Naval Investi-
eating Committee, of last Congress, has
been found to be SO crushing upon Sec
rotary ToucEY, in view of the approach
ing Connecticut election, that he has
made reply, which, in the judgment of
most men, cannot but be considered
rather lame and impotent." The Sec
rotary says he was obliged to give the
olive oak contract to the man who
paid money to elect BUCHANAN, because
nobody else could furnish it in time and
as to the coal contracts, he was not aware
that DR.. HUNTER and others had divided
"the spoils' until the report informed
him Of the fact. Innocen: and unsus-
pecting Secretary "Where ignorance
is bliss" &c. Of the employment Of
drunken and idle political brawlers at the
Navy Yard, he seems to be totally obliv-
ious, although it does appear that certain
Democratic M. C.'s complained to him
that they could not get all their eminent
ly worthy hurrah boys into berihs at
these yards, because certain other equal
ly honorable gentlemen had caused them
TO be filed by their retainers, until there
was no more room left AS to the poll
ties OF the contractors for steam machine
ry ii had nothing at all to do with it
whatever. Oh no. These contracts
were awarded exclusively, the Secretary
says, upon "the merits of the plans and
proposals" Of course none Of these
"meriss" could have been the fact that
the contractors employed "450" men
who would vote for Tom Florence. Oh,
no! But why. after being awarded to
another party, was the contract revoked
and given to the Messrs. MERRITT & Co..
il it was not because they were in Mr..
fLoREScE's district. and could help that
gentlemanly doughface into Congress
again ?
The report of another committe on the
abuses of the Superintendent of the Gov
eminent Printing discloses a system of
cheating by double charges, making de-
ceptive entries, receiving inferior arti-
cles for the highest prices, wrenching
heavy per centages from contractors, or
making them loan money to government
agents, which WAS never to be repaid,
&C.. showing a universally and amount
of rascality on the part of those appoint
ed to guard the government against such
robbery that is both astonishing and dis
gushing In one instance the Superinten-
dent was 10 receive no less sum than
81 900 year from tors, in con-
sheraton of his giving them certain
jobs; in another case WENDELL, the
public printer, wrung from paper deal
ers and engravers, the enormous sum of
$4,000 as his share of the spoils alone
for one year, 1t does really seem that
from the hour of Mr.. BUcHANAN's en-
trance into office, the Government has
been set upon by an organized band of
plunderers who has acted as if each thief
was entitled to everything he could, by
any ingenuity, contriye or manage TO
get into lis hands. These disclosures
put all previous abuses into the shade.

DANGER TO THE VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY

DANCER TO THE VIRGINIA Democracy.
The Richmond Enquirer, the Demo
crat organ in Virginia. says:
+" We have laughed at and ridiculed
the reorganization of the opposition long
enough il is time sober reason had been
consulted, and action begun Ii is fol-
ly to deny that there is danger to the
Democratic party from the recent enthu-
siastic and thorough organization Of the
Opposition. Let any candid man look
at the condition of the two parties. and
he will scarcely say there is no danger"

soberly, and we don't want our co.empo-
raries to think that we are particularly
personal upon them, for we apply the
language to the Guardian as well. We
believe that one good paper would do
mone-Sor Independence and for the coun-
ty than all three will ever be able to ac-
complish unitedly. We believe that it is
largely to the interest of our people to
unite their influence and patronage upon
some journal whose proprietor they be-
lieve has the ambition, the ability, and
the requisite knowledge of the business
to give. if encouraged, a paper worthy
Of the town and the county--a paper
which, when sent abroad, will carry with
it some evidence of the intelligence, enter
prise and taste of our people, and con-
yey some idea of our business and res
ources. We do not say that wc can
make such paper, or that our cotempo-
raries cannot. We only say that neither
can do so with the remuneration which
they at present receive.
We have wandered, however, good
ways from the original intent OF this ar
ticle, which was simply to announce the
end OF the present volume, and the i'm
peratlye necessity that exists, that our
patrons should pay up their arrearages.
Notwithstanding our efforts to adopt the
system of advanced payments, many
names have crept upon our subscription
list, which have not the word "paid"
written after them. We find this to be
suicidal policy, and are compelled to stop
1t. No publisher can, in these times,
vim safely with such load. All such
subscribers are dead weight, and we
confess our inability, as well as indispo-
siion, to carry it. We have put our
subscription price down very low, and
to give those wishing to subscribe every
opportunity, agree to take three and six
months subscriptions, at the yearly rates,
and we know not how we can make the
matter easier for our subscribers, and at
The same time safe for ourselves. We
have not yet spoken 10 man who did
not acknowledge that the system of ad-
vanced payments was the only proper
one, ard we therefore believe that our
patrons will not think hardly of US for
enforcing it.
We cannot, in this connection, forbear
an acknowledgment for the interest man.
Tested by many friends in the Guardian,
and the many expressions of good will
with which we are constantly favored. To
our Quasqueton friends we are specially
indebted, for, Notwithstanding our re-
moval, but three men expressed their

ate refused to concur unless a provision
was attached to increase the rates of posi-
age, and this the lower branch refused to
do The Senate tried TO drive the House
