A BEAUTIFUL EITRACT---WOMAa.

Oh the priceless value Of the love Of
true woman Gold cannot purchase a
gem so precious. Titles and honors con-
ter upon the heart no such serene hap
piness. In our darkest moments, when
disappointment and ingratitude, with cor
roding care, gather thick around Us, and
even gauut poverty menaces with his
skeleton finger, it CLEANS around the soul
with an angels smile. Time cannot mar
It's brilliancy, distance but strengthens its
influence bolts and bars cannot limit It's
progress. II follows the prisoner into
his dark cell, and sweetens the home
morsel that appeases his hunger, and in
the silence Of midnight it plays around
his head, and in his dreams he folds to
his bosom the form Of her who loves on
still, though the world has turned eoldly
upon him. The couch made by the
hands Of loved one is soft to the weary
limbs of a sick sufferer, and the portion
administered by the same hands loses
halt lis bitterness. The pillow carefully
adjusted by her, bringing repose to the
fevered brain, and her words of kind
encouragement, reviyes the sinking spirit.
Il would almost seem, that God compass
sioning woman's first great frailiy, had
planted this jewel in her breast whose
heayenlike interest should cast into for
gclfulness mans remembrance Of the
fall. by building up in bis heart another
Eden, where perennial flowers forever
bloom, and crystal waters gush from ex-
haustless ountains.-iStratton.

Indian War.---False Alar,,,

We gave in our last paper the variou.
rumors IN relation to alleged hos,ili,ies
OF the SIOUX Indians. We are now a,,,e
to state that these rumors were w;,bou,
the least foundation. AS far as we can
learn, there has not been a S;o.x I,d;
an. within the last month, this side their

whole thing appears to have been a
"o"' oy whom or for what purpose
originated, no one has been able to
learn. Strange as it seemed TO us and
contrary to the manner of warfare
among our tribes of Indians, as we knew
4 TO be, the information, which lead to
orr notice last week of the rumoys i,
Circulation, came so direct that M o,a
could reasonably doubt its truth for the
moment, or at least that there was soma
foundation for it. The settlers who
came in with their families, fro n the
country in the direction of the Asenov
each brought reports of the murder oe
some family or the destruction Of ,ra,-
erty by the army of Indians ALLEGED "a
be in motion. Thus the staDsoeae be.
came general.
A similar false alarm occurred too
years ago. 1t is surprising that any
lears OF Indians should ever be enter
tanned, when it is well known that both
tribes of Indians, the Sioux and Chip
pewas, in this part ofthe State, are ar
nuity Indians, and dependent upon
Government to- support. These Indi-I
ans well know, and well understand that
should they cum@eRce war upon the
whites, not onf y woafd their annaities
be cut off, but that there is force enough
IN our State, independent of Forts and
Government, TO stterly extesminate
them ia "a xeEy short time.
No such alarms as these would evcr
