themselves awake by clamoring, against

FLASH OF Soul IN A DIGGER. The
Humboldt North Californian describes
striking incident of the late Indian
war. A village of the enemy was de-
serted by all but an old chief, who stood
resolutely among the ruins of his home,
and kept the whites at bay in front of
his levelled rifle. The volunteers had
orders to take the old man alive, but
were afraid to advance upon him
until their Lieutenant hit upon a STRAIT
egem. The only surviving wife of the
chlef-a young squaw-was brought
forward, aud taking her before him the
officer advanced, covering his body with
this frail but, to him, invulnerable shield.
Afraid to fire upon the pair, the old man,
after a moments hesitation, lowered his
weapon and was Immediately surrounded
and ironed.

A Terrible Adventure ON Prairie.

S. H. Packard, Esq, an Iowa editor and lawyer,
was recently lost in snow storm between Sioux
Rapids and Fort Dodge. About three hours after he
started, heavy snow storm burst upon him accom-
panied by a high wind from northwest. Knowing
the danger OF attempting to cross those large prares
in such q storm, he turned back and attempted to
retrace his steps, but soon found it was impossible
for or beast to face the Storm be therefore pro-
ceeded on his journey confident that he could ride to
the next house go miles) by nightfa. But his
horse, having broken through the ice several times
became afraid to go upon the ce and he was delayed
many times at sloughs until night overlook him at
slough about half way across the prairie. Here be
found it impossible to induce the horse to go upon the
ice and while searching for better crossing the ice
broke with him and let him into the water above his
knees. He endeavored to get to the shore, but the
the ice snow and water distance OF twenty or thir
ty feet before he came to firm ice.
He at attempted TO remove his shoes and stock
ngs, but they were so encased in ice that 1t was i'm
possible. Convinced that he must remain where he
was until morning. and that his only safety was in
keeping in motion, he commenced running upon the
ice, and continued to do so until daylight the next
morning. when having succeeded getting his horse
across the slough, he started foot, he supposed
towards Fort Dodge. After walking about two miles
and hall he found he had turned around and was 60
ing back he retraced his steps and walked
all day, dragging his feet frozen through snow ankle
deep, and at times knee deep, his horse following
him, and was again overtaken by night about three
miles from house. Here he left his horse and started
on, hoping to reach the house In an hour or two,
but he was so faint and weary that he fell frequently,
and was nine hours in walking the last three miles
His sensations during this time, described by him,
were peculiar and strange the road appeared to be
embroidered in most beautiful colors and be stopped
and reached to pick up specimen several times.
Satisfied that his mind was wandering, he endeavor-
ed to divert bis mind from the consideration Of that
subject but in van if he looked at the side Of the
road it appeared to be walled up, and to be covered
with hogs lying on their backs Raising himself he
proceeded, and at length reached the house of Mr.
Welch, about O'Clock in the morning. He was
taken and cared for until the arrival of friends from
Fort Dndpp.

Congressional Agitation.
Hany State may either adopt or exclude
the loathsome institution of slavery, when
everi chooses, under the provisions of the
Federal Constitution, then why is it that
Congress gives more attention to subjects
bearing upon the existence of thatinstitu-
ton than it does to questions connected
with any other matter or thing wholly
reserved by the several States to be dis
posed of as may best suit the pleasure OF
each, independent of the General Govern
ment, which was established only for the
purpose of providing for their common
defence and general welfare in a national
capacity
If the constitution has left to each State
the exclusive right to adopt or abolish
slavery at pleasure, then why is it that
members of Congress so generally, and as
often as a -pretext for that purpose can be
found, spring some question having its
foundation in that odious relic of barba-
rism, instead of attending to those matters
ola national character and interest which,
strictly speaking, are more properly con-
nected with their duties?
The agitation of any question connected
with slavery by Congress has ever been
productive of ill feeling, discord and bit
ter sectional animosities. How long will
it be before the two great political parties
of the present day will make it funda-
mental principle in the avowed policy by
which they are governed, "that there shall
no longer be allowed, in the Congress of
the United States, any question whatever
having bearing upon the institution of
slavery, further than to carry out the in-
tention of the trainers of the constitution,
as manifested in the third clause of Sec
ton two, in article four of that instrument,
and in that particular, also, to carefully
avoid any provision which might possibly
make Unnecessary for any citizen to do that
which would, in his opinion, amount 70 a
positive wrong, and thus compel him to
violate the principles of that religious faith
which he may profess, the free exercise of
which is expressly guaranteed by the
supreme law of the land?"
Until Congress ceases to agitate the
subject of slavery in any form, there will
not, nor can there ever be harmony of
feeling among its members, nor will there
be sught else but discordant state of feel
ing between the free and slave States.
When, and not until, any and eyery
question bearing upon slavery has been
finally dismissed by Congress as subject
with which it has legitimately nothing to
do, will that institution commence the
process of natural decay, which, in the
end, would be certain to wips its existence
from this fourishing sisterhood Of States,
and make them nearer what they profess
to be; IAN asylum for the oppressed of
ALL nations" w. R. SAUNDERS. |
