A WHITE CAPTIVE AMONG THE Saw
AGEs.-Many of our readers may remem-
Der the massacre, last fall, by the Sioux
Indians, of aparty of emigrants journey
ing from Iowa to Oregon. The expedi-
ton, we believe, numbered seventeen wag-
ons, and the travellers were said to have
been killed with the exception of two men,
who fought their way through, and two
women, one of whom was left for dead at
the foot a precipice, but was afterwards re-
covered and restored to her friends, and
the other taken into camp and compelled
TO adopt the savage life of the Sioux
This summer, when the half,breeds from
Pembina were at the Yankton camp on
the plains, some of them, as they alIege,
saw this hapless woman in the wigwam Of
her captors. They say that they convers-
ed with her, and that she was anxious to
get away, bu! was unable to effect her es-
cape. 1t is worthy of being inquired into,
and if found to be correct, means ought to
be taken by the American Government for
rescuing a woman of their country from a
position of misery and degradation which
she must feel to be worse than the ~cruelest

The Moses.

Who but Ruskin could have written the
following beautiful passages, in regard to
the mosses?"
"And, as the earth's first mercy, so they
are at last gift to it. When all other SER
vice is vain, from plant and tree, the soft
moses and gray lichen take up their watch
by the maidstone! The woods, the BIOS
SONS, the gifebearing grasses, have done
their parts for a time; but these do service
forever. Trees for the builders yard, flow
ers for the brides chamber, corn for the
granary, moss for the grave. Yet, in one
sense the humblest, in another they are the
most honored of the earth-children. Un-
fading, as ~motionless, the worm frets them
not, and the autumn wastes not. Strong
in loneliness, they blanch in heat, nor pine
in frost. To them, slow-fngered, constant
hearted, is intrusted the weaving of the
dark, eternal tapestries of the hills; to
them, slow-penciled, iris-dyed, the tender
framing of their endless imaginary. Shar-
ing the stiffness of the uninterrupted rock,
they share also its endurance, and while
the winds of departing spring scatter the
white hawthorn blossoms like drifted snow,
and summer dims on the parched meadow
the dropping of its cowslip gold.

~The Rev. Samuel R. Wilsop, Pas
tor of the First 70. S. Presbyterian
Church, Cincinnati son of the famous
controversialist, for many years pastor of
the same church-preached a discourse to
his people in November, which has been
published. A single extract-a brick
from the edifce,-may suffice as a speci-
men. Parson Wilson says:
"In the South the negro is made to work
when he is well; in the busy season like
the free men of the North, to work hard
and keep at it; he is well fed, we'll clothed
well housed; to a very great ertent he is
taught the saving knowledge of the Cos
pei; when sick he is well nursed and well
physicked. IF he is lazy or idle he is
sometimes nell whipped: but not more fire.
quently perhaps, than northern men whip
their uiues, for Which privilege they pay

If you wish for the indiluted doctrine Of
slavery, get a clerical advocate of it. As
an abolition lecturer once said, sit takes all
the s%anctity of an orthodox d. D., to stand
up in defence Of slavery"

News Items.

We clip the following lively paragraph
from the account given by the South Car
Gilman of a celebration the other night in
Columbia:
A large transparency had the following
notices: "Euchre-South Carolina Plays
it Alone" "Her Right and Left Bowers,
Georgia and Florida" "Her Trumps, Ma
grath, Colcock, Conner" "With these she
claims a March,"
The Omaha Republican says hat gold
dust is coming in there from the mines in
large quantities. One nugget purchased
by Smith and Parmalee weighs 4 ounces,
is valued at upwards of $40.
The Santa Clara (Cal.) race course was
the scene of a remarkable trial of equine
speed and human endurance on the lst OF
November. ]. r. Pice, of San Jose, made
a wager of $4,000 that he would, on the
day above named, ride $50 miles in the
unprecedented time of six hours and thirty
minutes, or at the railroad speed of more
than twenty-three miles per hour, not al
lowing the time lost in mounting and dis
mounting the different horses which he
proposed to use. He won the bet with
fourteen minutes and ten seconds to spare.

Evil Company.

1t is said that Sophronius a wise teach
er of the people, did not allow his sons and
daughters even they were grown up, to as
sociate with persons whose lives were not
moral and pure.
"Father," said the gentle Eulalis one
day, when be had refused to permit her to
go in company with her brother to visit
the frivolous Lucinda, you must think that
we are very weak and childish, since yon
are afraid hat it would be dangerous to us
in visiting Lucinda"
Without sayings word the father took a
coal from the hearth and handed it to his
daughter. alt will not burn you my child"
said he; "only take it."
Eulalia took the coal, and behold her
tender white hand was black, and without
thinking, she touched her white dress, and
it was also blackeued. "See," said Eula-
liza, somewhat displeased as she looked at
her her hands and dress, "one cannot be
careful enough when handling Goals"
"fes, truly" said her father; "you see,
my child, that tn. coal, even though it
did not burn you, nevertheless Hackened
you! So is the company of immoral per-
sons"

~We can inform the Southern Secess-
i%onists, as a matter of fact worthy of their
attention, if they have not lost the capaci-
ty of reflection, that the real old Abolition
ists-those who believe in the extinction
of slavery-the Garrisonans-and those
who believe in ~hurrying on the irrepressible
conhict-are delighted beyond expression
by the news from the extreme Southern
States. 1t is believed in the North, not
only by Abolitionists, but by all men who
know enough to state a proposition in the
'single rule of three" that the meaning of
Disunion is precipitate emancipation
Gentlemen of the South, if you cut loose
from the Northern States you will find no
people on the habltable globe who will be
your friends as we have been. And if you
repudiate the guarantees you now have un-
der our common Constitution, it will be
impossible for yon ever again to seucure
the rights you surrender.

He wouId be Frank with Him.

The Mecca oil fever calls out to that To-
cality everybody. No one stays away who
has q desire for speculation, or to crafty
curiosity, which by this time everybody is
tinctured with. A company of gentlemen
were at the oil grounds a few days ago,
among the number a clerical friend, who,
albeit, is never "armed and equipped" with
a white choker-with which some are dec
grated as the livery of the desk-but who
appeared to the observer as a sharp, genial
polished worlds man. The party not con-
GLIDING its observations, repaired to hotel
conveniently adjacent for LODGINGS for the
night. After supper, our friend, being
by common consent spokesman, requested
of mine host a room with fire in it, the
party contemplating a cosy discussion of
the oily subject they had been investiga-
ting. Landlord, instead of rubbing his
hands at the prospect of settling a good
bill in the morning, and saying walk this
way, gentlemen. nice rooms" DC, never
stirred a peg, but declined fayoring his
guests with the accommodation. Clerical
friend insisted, landlord resisted-had a
house burned by having fires in the guest
chambers, and be couldnot think of run
ming the risk again. Clerical friend insis-
ted, demanded. Landlord looked embar-
raised q moment, then turned to clerical
friend, with the frmest of diction, said /:
"You cannot have the fire, sir; l know
what you want, and l will be frank with
you, Inever aHow any gambling tn my
rooms, in my house-you cannot have a
fire sirp
What the landlord thought of subse-
quent explanations, and with what gusto
the story is told in certain circles, can bet
ter be imagined than described; and this is
recorded as one of the cleverest humors of
the "oil fever."-Rauanna Democrat.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16, Il

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16, 1860
Mr.. EDlroR:-The young ladies' Fair at
the Presbyterian Church, which had been
going on for two weeks, closed last Thurs
day evening with an auction. We had a
lively time there, for the bidding was very
spirited.
On Friday afternoon, we were called on
to attend the fueral of the Rev. John Wes-
ley Dagins, of Wesleyan Conference. The
news of his death will be sad indeed to his
many warm friends in the Western States,
where he preached for some time before
his return to Washington. He leaves a
wife to mourn his sudden demise.
We received notice to-day to attend the
uneral of Rev. VIM. Ballentine, of the
Nineteenth street Baptist Church, who had
been sick for six weeks with the consump-
ton, and another to attend the funeral of
Mrs. Sweeny, from the Union Bethel
Church
Washington just now is very sickly.
For the last four weeks we never knew the
weather to be more severe here. Many
persons were frozen to death, and nearly
all outdoor business was suspended; but
as all things were settled down for this
cold winter weather, we were suddenly
thrown, as it were, into the very lap of
spring
Our criminal court is now in session.
No cases of much momeut have yet been
tried, except that of DR.. Boyd, for abduct-
ing slaves from this city and removing
them to free State. He has been found
guilty.
The trial of Major French, U. S. A, for
embezzlement of Government funds, will
come off this week.
We were very glad TO see in your New
Haven letter that the Rev. VIM. L. Cato
arrived safely in that city.

Mr.. VIM H Marshal on Tuesday evening

The decision has given general dissatis-
faction. Both white and colored citizens
condemn it. The "Post" of last evening
remarked that it believed with Mr.. Waugh
that Rhode Island needed legislation for
the protection of her own school children.
Last night the colored citizens held meet
ing in Zion Church 1t was large and re-
spectacle. Sherman S. Marrs presided.
and Ransom Parker acted as Secretary.
A collection was made towards defraying
the expenses of the suit and carrying it up
to the Supreme Court, and the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted.
RESOLVED, That the decision of the court in the
case of Waugh vs. Goddings, for excluding the
formers child from the public school in which he
belongs is one that takes the question heretofore
known as the "Colored School Question" out of
effects every inhabitant of the State, for by the
decision any such inhabitant, white or colored,
may be denied even admission to any school with
out redress
ResOiued That we invoke the aid of the rich
and poor the learned and the illterate, in this
case, but declare particularly to poor men of all
classes to see to it, for your being poor are most
likely to feel the force of this decision.
ResolUed, That petition be presented forthwith
to the General Assembly, asking for the passage
of law protecting the rights of every inhabitant
of the State white as well colored, in the mat
ter ofpubic education, as no law now exists ac-
cording to the above decision.
Permit me to say, to the credit of the
plaintiffs counsel, Mr.. Blake, that his eff
fort was SO able and skillful as to complete
ly silence the opposing counsel. Mr.. B.
is one of the leading members of the Rhode
Island Bar. WIN. F. JOHNSON.

Mr.. George E. Stephens replied to the
last speaker. He said that the African
Civilization movement is colonization dress
ed up in new suit-both societies demand
the same things. He believed Mr.. John
son to be like Rip Vanwinkle, for he knew
that the Haytians had demonstrated to the
white race the fact that they are able to
govern themselves, and so had the Libe-
rians; and when hear gentlemen say go
20 countries where the people have never
demonstrated the fact of their capability of
selfgovernment, am dissuaded from COM
plying.
Mr.. John c. Bowers spoke again. He
reviewed the cotton argument, and remark
ed that when Gabriel blows his last trum-
pet the negroes will still be in slavery, un-
less they emigrate. Several Others who
had spoken made remarks a second time,
without eliciting anything new upon either
side.
The number of deaths reported to the
Board of Health last week was 1873, 8 of
which were colored. BANSEKER.

RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL QUESTION.

DEAR ANGLo:-Mr John Il. Waugh,
highly respectable colored citizen of this
city, brought suit against Alvah W.
Godding, teacher, for expelling his child
from school without cause. The case was
tried in the Court of Common Pleas before
Judge Shearman. After lengthy argu-
ments on both sides, the Judge gave the
following decision:
"The revised statutes of Mass. put the
schools under the control of the school
committees of the towns, and therefore no
suit could be maintained against a. school
master; because if anybody is liable it is
the school committee, and whether they
could be sued or not, admits of doubt
There could be remedy independent
of that, but not by a suit at law; because
there has been decision of the Supreme
Court of this State, in suit against the
trustees and against the legal authorities of
the town, and it was decided there could
be no action: because there was no law,
there could no action lay
L AC fotSA0 VI tAS WI fOAoIlOiA PAN-
ceed to remedy any wrong they had done,
by an application to the Supreme Court
for writ of mandamus. A new suit can
be brought. There is full and ample
remedy.
The plaintiff, in order to maintain suit,
must show right to send child toschool.
Where the public act, especially in respect
to the public schools in the city of Provi-
dence, which says that the public schools
shall be subject to, and conducted in a
manner which the proper authorities shall
see fit to order, the plaintiff, in order to
maintain a suit, must show his right to
send child to school under the rules and
regulations of the city, which he has wholly
failed to do, and to put in any such evi
dence from the proceedings of the City
Council or any other authority. There
fore there is proper cause for non suit
and the plaintiff must be non suited.
