LINCOLN AND GREEtEY.-We find the
following in the ST. Louis correspondence
Of the Ala. The letter bears date Feb.
9th:
Two very frank men met at Springfield,
Illinois, on the 9th. One is the President
elect aud the other Horace Greeley, and il
the interview between them could be faith
fully reported, it would reveal some very
frank, open aud candid remarks, with ques-
lions aud answers interlarded. We shall
certainly see something about it in the tn
bSSe very soon, aud il the President that
is TO be does not come square up 10 the
don't bulge an inch policy Of the Tn.
bune, there will be an elegant family quar-
rel that may ontrival the one between
Buchanan aud Forney. 1t is stated BY
telegraph that Mr. Lincoln called upon Mr..
Greeley at his hotel, (think Of that, Pres.
ident calling upon an Editor,) and the in.
terview lasted several hours. Mr.. Greeley
urged strict adherence to an anti-compro.
mise policy, and is said to have received
gratifying assurances. His opinion as Ia
Cabinet aud other appointments was sole.
tied aud given. He is known 10 he strong
ly opposed to Cameron, and very much in
terested in the appointment Of Chase and
Colfax Col. Fremont, he thinks, should
have the mission TO France. Although jusl
defeated in Albany for the Senate, be, likt
disinterested patriot, did not ask any
thing either for himself or bis friends. G
B. Lincoln, of New York, was present dur
ing part Of the interview.

FIGHr AT SMcoE-Serious trouble oc-
Cured at the Simcoe Agency on the 9th
inst, between Mr.. Geary, Superintendent
Of Indian Affairs, and DIR. Lansdale, sus-
pended agent, in which the friends OF the
two functionaries participated. 1t appears
that Mr.. Geary proceeded to the ofice Of
DR.. Lansdale and took formal possession,
with, as the DR.. alleges, his assent upon
which q controversy arose between them
upon former matters. The Or. employed
severe and censorious epithets, whereupon
Mr.. Geary seized and held, and pushed
him against the wall. The remarks being
repeated, Mr.. Geary took the Doctors
hand and slapped his mouth. A clerk Of
DR.. Lansdale came up, and the DR. direc-
ted him to get his pistol, and, Mr.. Geary
adds, "shoot himp The Doctors account
OF the affray differs in this particular from
Mr.. Geary's The pistol was brought aud
held by Thomas Pope, until taken from
him. The friends Of the two officers came
in and the scuiile became general. in which
Mr.. KOpus, Oh employee of Mr.. Geary, and
Dr. Lansdale were somewhat injured. The
result was that DR.. Lausdale and his friends
retired, and the next day the DR.. left for
Walla Walla. Mr.. Geary alleges that Dr.
l.. and bis friends endeavored 10 instigate
Indians against him. This is denied by
DR.. Lansdale. We have given thus an i'm
partial account Of this unhappy affair al
We have received it from the Superintend
ent and DIR. LansdaIe, and We can bu
deeply regret both the event itself and th'
causes which impelled to it.-Adroeatc o.

G. FoRD, Sec'y.

Gentlemen: In accordance with the wish
Of the citizens of Stciacoom, we have ex-
amned the trail leading to the Nachess
Pass, aud beg leave to submit the following
report:
First day, March 4th, lS6l.-Started
from SteilaeoOm aud travelled to Mont.
gomery's, and eneamped for the night We
here obtained the service Of an Indian to
act as guide, agreeing to pay him St.5o per
day.
Tuesday, 5th.-Started over the usual
route in company with Mr.. White, for hh
residence on South Prairie. This is about
thirty miles from Steilacoom, dnd is an ex-
cellcnt spot for grazing. Stopped with
Mr.. White over night.
Wednesday, 6th-Exchanged our Indian
guide for another, better acquainted with
the route, and proceeded over an Indian
trail to White River, distant about ten
miles Crossed at an excellent ford, and
followed up the river some ten miles aud
comped
THURSDAY, 7th-Left camp at u o'clock
and followed up the river some four miles
further, where we left It aud struck Of on
the Hudson Bay Co.'s old trail, which we
followed some eight or ten miles. Our
guide here told US that we we're within SO
or 4s hours travel of the summit of the
mountains, over road fully Gs good as
that we had passed, upon which we con-
cluded to turn back, believing we had ac-
complished the object for which we were
sent.
So far as we went, we found the trail
passabIe even now; but TO make IL good
practicable route requires the fallen trees
to be removed and some Of the hills slight
ly graded We believe that there is al
ready enough subscribed to open good
trail over the summit Of the mountains,
provided Il is properly expended
This trail only crosses White river once,
and II our guide is to be relied on, It avoids
Mud mountain and other serious obstacles
on the other routes, and shortens the dis
tance very materially to the summit.
Respectfully, H. G. WILLIAMSON,

THE BABY.

Weep mother, 'Feep!-
For the little one asleep
With its head against your breast!
Never in the coming years,
Though he seek for ii with tears.
viii he find so sweet a rest.
Oh, the brow Of baby Bum!
Oh, the scarlet mouth of Bum
One must wear its crown OF throus,
Drink its cup Of gall must one
Though the trembling lips shall shrink,
White with anguish as they drink,
And the temple sweat with pain
Drops Of blood Ike purple rain.
Weep, mother, Weep!
Winsome little baby Bum
Not the sea-shell's pa!est tinge,
Not the daisy's rose-white fringes
Not the softest, faintest glow
or the sunset on the snow,
Is more beautiful and sweet
, Than the wee pink hands and feet
or the little baby Bum
Wlnsome baby Bum
Pray, mother, prayl
Feet like these may lose the way,
Wandering blindly from the right.
Pay, and sometimes with your prayers
De 70 him like golden stars
Built through darkness into light.
Oh, the dimpled feet Of Bonn
In their silken stockings dressed
Oh, the dainty hands Of Bunnl
Had like rose-leaves in your breast
These will grasp like jewels rare,
But to find them empty air;
Those shall falter many a day.
Bruised and bleeding-by the way,
Ere they reach the land Of rest
Pray, mother, pray

OAK PosTs.-In q recent fence case be-
fore the County Court at Sacramento. a
number Of farmers and ranch-men testified
that from experience, posts made from the
heart Of our native oak would last from
seven to twelve years, whilst those made
from the sap-wood Of the same tree would
rot in a couple Of years, and never lasted
more than three or four. These nre impor-

FEEDING PouLTRY.-Professor Gregory,
Of Aberdeen, in letter to friend, OBJ
serves: As | suppose you keep poultry. !
may tell you that it has been ascertaiued
that II you mix with their food quantity
Of egg gshells or chalk, which they eat
greedily, they will lay twice or thrice as
many eggs as before. A well fed fowl is
disposed to lay a large number of eggs, but
cannot do so without the material Of the
she'll, however nourishiug in other respects
the food may be; indeed fowl fed on food
and water, free from carbonate Of lime and
not finding any in the soil, or in the shape
of mortar. which they often eat Oh the
walls, would lay no eggs at all with the best
will in the world.
