The DUDLEY INDIANs.-The Webster
Times gives a sketch Of the condition of the
fragment of this expiring tribe now remaining
on the lands set apart for their use in Webster
They number only thirteen, seven of whom
through physical incapacity, are wholly de-
pendent ON the charity of the state. Their
cost to the Commonwealth in 1859 was S740
40. The state owns about twenty seven acres
of land in Webster, and in 1857 erected sub
stantial house upon it for their accommoda-
ton. The guardian ofthese Indians has made
some effort to promote habits of industry and
good morals among them, with less success
than could be desired. The passion for intox.
icating drinks is very strong with some of
them, and, in spite Of every care and precau-
ton, their small incomes will afford them the
means of this indulgence and decentralization.
Tho surviving members of the tribe are eighty
in number, sixty-seven of whom reside in diff
ferent sections of Rhode Island and Connect.

EXPENSE OF MILITARY GLoRY.-The brief
season of military service which Gov. Wise
afforded to some of his valorous subjects at
Harper's Ferry and Charlestown, has proved
so expensive that those who stayed at home
are hesitating whether they will pay for it. or
not. The services of Gen. Taliafero, with his
staff of sixty-four men, nearly double the staff
of Napoleon in the flower of his glory, are es-
timated at eight dollars per diem, while his
army of seventeen hundred men is to receive
the usual material rewards for its service on
ture of Virginia indulge the notion that such
courage should be selfsustaining, or, if that is
impossible, that Gov. Wise should pay his
own crusaders

The MISSOURI SLAVE INsURREcTIoN.-Th
Chicago Press and Tribune asks us what has
become of the Bolivia (Mo.,) slave insurrec-
ton Our answer is, that the accounts fur
nished by the Southwest Warsaw Democrat,
which were telegraphed to our paper, seem to
have been mere exaggerations of Christmas
row between gang of drunken negroes and
party of frolicsome white folks. The design
OF the Warsaw paper was no doubt to operate
upon the legislature and create votes for the
infamous free negro bill.-St. Louis Democrat.

How CHAPLAIN TRIED 70 MAKE A
SPEECH, AND FAILED.-The Boston cores
pondent of the New Bedford Standard gives
the following narrative of the scene which
transpired in the Senate one morning last
week. After the tribulation of five ballots, the
Senate had effected the choice of Chaplain
in the person of Rev. Joseph Marsh of Sand
witch =
con Friday morning the Senate met ac-
cording to adjournment, the Chaplain came
within the bar, the President rose and made
the usual proclamation, VIA prayer will
now be offered by the Reverend Chaplain of
the Senate, to which the senators responded
by standing in their places and assuming a de-
votional attitude. The Chaplain then took his
position and proceeded Immediately to astound
everybody by saying, i should like to make
few remarks before | prav-I shall be very
brief This modest request meeting with 10
response, there was an awkward silence in the
chamber for the space of two minutes, during
| which time the Preside mt maintained the most
reverential and devout attitude while the sen
ators were varously engaged in staring wink
ing, oglng, and holding their tongues-a few,
overcome by contending- emotions, dropped
into their seats; presently the determined
| Chaplain broke the silence by putting the
| question dlrect, mus Gan L go on with my
remarks, Mr. PRESIDENT and the perplexed
| President, after looking around the chamber at
| the senators, at the Revolutionary drum, dim
with the dust of years, at the portraits of Ran
| tou and the old Governors answered, and this
| is what he said THE Chair hears no motion
no objection being made, however, the Chaplain
may speak" Then, out spoke that artless
minister. who began by referring TO certain
remarks to which he had listened outside, in
regard to the Chaplaincy-he had been panied
to hear several persons refer to the Office of
| Chaplain as an empty formality, &c. and that
| individuals had advised him that brevity would
be desirable feature in his prayers; he de.
sired to rebuke all such irreverence and PRO
ceeded to speak of the efficacy of prayer gen
orally and then Of the antiquity of the inslitu~
| ton us a religious exercise, but the President
| thinking, perhaps, of his own address on taking
the chair two days before, when he said, 'et
us remember this chamber is sacred to the
uses Of legislation, and seeing that his indul.
gence was being abused, suddenly rose, brought
down his gavel with decided banq, and ex-
claimed thus "The Chair will remind the
Reverend Chaplain that it is quite unusual, if
not without precedent, for any person not
a member 70 address the Senate. If the
Chaplain desires to communicate with the
Senate u will be proper for him to do so in
writing" (bang No. ~ IA PRAYER will now
be offered by the Reverend Chaplain Of the
Senate !" and thus ended this solemn farce.
which, 1t is safe to say, is without precedent in
our history.

BY referring to the first directory of Worces-

All the factories had stopped. On attempt

hands. On starting again, only about one
sixth of the number could be found ; and it
was not long before most Of these left the mills,
and the works were compelled to stop. The
fall of the Pemberton Mills has filed most of
operatives with terror, so that they cannot
bear to stay in the other mills. 1t will be
