the dead mothers breast. The stalwart bucks Law
scattered round quietly despatched with a blow
rom hatchet, and thrust two about the
heart with bowle-knife. Infants were crawling
around and hiding among the rubbish, &C. Alto

throw of the United States Barracks. +
These facts can hardly be credited in the Atlantic
states nut assure you they are strictly true. The

indlan Wemen and children for them to kill the

! THE AGRICULTURAL BUREAU.-The following is
the preamble and resolution presented in tbe
House of Representatives on Thursday last, by Mr..
Carey, in relation to the establishment of an Agr
cultural Bureau by the Government:
| Whereas history teaches that there can he No
clviilzatlon without skill in agriculture that death
| is the award OF mprovidence to nations as well as
individuals, and that the extinction of vitality is
| the consequence Of abuse in this fundamental art
that we have the example of the solcitude felt bv
all the civilized nations of the world for the adj
yancement otagrlculture: that it is beyond doubt
that much of our public domain is not capable of
supporting life and much of the land once consider
ed to be inexhaustible has ceased to be cultivated
and the process ofeXhauston is the increase: that
| the main subsistence of the United States
| is yearly growing less, from causes which would
appear to be increasing in their action and which
nave not been appreciated or properly studied and
exists conviction the minds of scientific
| and learned authorities, and it is proved bv our
| short experience that the possibility of CONTINUING
to produce our great staples, cotton wheat tebac-
co, and corn, under the system OF culture practsed
Is most questionable and must eventuate in power
| ty, Wretchedness, and disappearance of popula-
| t0n: that the causes and consequences thereof
with their remedies susceptible of incontesta-
pie proof: that our population is subject to period
zeal returns OF calamities and fatal diseases in a
| great measure dependent upon our bad agricultural
practices: that the richest portion of our inheri-
! tance remains not only uncultvated but living
! cause OF disease and death, and that within com
paratlvely few years, science has revealed a know
ledge othe constitution OF the earth, connected with
vitality, ofthe deepest interest to our race-a know
ledge not possessed by fathers, and for want of
| which they are in wise responsible: that the
means of greatly lessening the uncertainties that
attend upon the methods now in use of increas-
ing articles of necessity and luxures of removing
the causes ot disease, and lengthening the average
| duration of life, of improving the Weld of our
lands, Is within our reach; that all these great re-
! suits are perfectly feasible and practicable; and
that they are Instantly required, is shown by mani
testatlons emanating from divers sources, and by
the repeatedly expressed desire of this community
that there should be an Independent bureau estab-
| hshed by this Government Therefore,
he Hresoired That the Committee on Agricul-
ture be instructed to report to this House bill for
the promotion of the interests of agriculture for
the organization of the agricultural division of the
department OF the Interior, now in defective
dltlon, ana demanding an immediate remedy.
