Indian Revenge..Lex TaliOMis.

In June last, a difficulty took place on
the st. Croix, between lumberman named
HARRISON SHULTz and Chippewa Indian
named OGA-MA-GE. GEL. The latter was shot,
and killed, by SHULrz, who Immediately
made bis escape down the river. A son of
the murdered Indian, about eighteen years
of age, swore to be revenged upon SHULTz,
and since that time, is reported to have
sought every opportunity to take his life
SHULTz remained down the river but few
weeks, and returned to ST. Croix Falls.
The Taylor Falls Repo, ter relates the Sc
quel:
On Thursday last, in company with one
OF his chums, Shultz went into the woods,
a snort distance from the village of St.
CrOix Falls, to cut cOrd-woOd. The Indian.
hearing OF his whereabouts, went after him.
and while they were busily engaged at
work, skuiked up to within three or four
rods of them, where he remained tor up
wards of an hour, awaiting favorable op
pOftunity to shoot Shultz without harmiDg
his cOmrade. AT last, while they were
oOeu az WIN uPSu O tICc, StduuluS
about four feet apart, and just as Sbultz
was in the act of lifting his axe for stroke,
the Indian fired and be fell to the ground
and died without a struggle. The Indian s
gun was loaded with slugs. three of which
entered the back part of Schultz head.
And thus terminated the existence of
one who, had he directed his talents Alright,
might have been an ornament to society.
We learn that his parents now reside
10 New York State, and are respectable
! and wealthy. His early education was
good, having at one time entered college,
but subsequently getting expelled Tor some

you may prove yourselves worthy of the
great occasion. Our ancestors probably
committed blunder in not having fixed
upon every fifth decade for call of gem
eral convention to amend and reform the
Constitution. On the contrary, they have
made thesdifficulty next to insurmountabe
to accomplish amendments to an instru-
ment which was perfect for five MILL ms of
people, but not wholly so as to thirty
millions. Your patriotism will surmount
the difficulties, however great, if you will
but accomplish but one triumph in advance,
and that is triumph over party. What is
party when compared to the task of rescu-
ing ones country from danger? Do that,
and one long, loud shout of joy and gladness
will resound throughout the land.

and liberal commercial relations be our
motto. With these principles, without
envy towards other states in the line of

LARS VOWED.

Lars Vowed in strong dungeon lay,
Condemned to die at dawn of day.
A black-robed priest he came to pray
At midnight with Lars VOWED.
"Outlaw repent" the holy man
His ghostly counsel thus began;
"Confess! repent! for shorts the span
Allotted thee, Lars Vowed"
"We all must die-Heaven's will be done!
And yet hope to see the sun
Rise many day ere my race be rum"
Undaunted, cries Lars VOWED.
"Oh! clasp thy guilty hands and pray
That outraged Heaven in mercy may
Pardon cen thee--for at dawn of day
Thou'lt surely die, Lars VOWED.
'More merciful than man is Heaven!
And by all hopes to be forgiven
l tell thee, priest, thou oft hast shriven
Worst sinners than Lars Vowed"
"That cannot be-" the priest replied,
"For guiltier wretch yet never died
Than thou, who'll perish in thy pride,
At dawn of day, Lars Vonved!"
Lars Vowed gave laugh of scorn-
Think not, good priest, the coming morn
Will see the fearless heart out-torn
From the bosom of Lars Vowed"
Farewell, thou Boosting fool! 60
And leave thee to eternal woe!'
may, good priest, do not leave me sO!'
Softly cried Lars VOWED.
The priest turned round, and ere he knew,
Was pinioned and mouth gagged too,
His robe stripped off and his hood of blue,
BY the outlaw, bold Lars Vowed.
'sSir priest, must make free to borrow
Your dress awhle-but do not sorrow;
They'll set you free at dawn tomorrow,
So FAREWELL" cried Lars Vowed.
The watchful guards, as they let him pass.
Said-"Holy man, has he taken the mass?
Does he repent?' ooh! no, alas!
Too hardened is Lars VOnved!'
At dawn of day the dungeon door
Was open thrown, and on the floor
They found the good priest grooming sore,
But flown away Lars Vowed.

LORD PALMERsroN, in his seventy-ffth
year, is unaffected by the weather. During
the summer he is accustomed to leave the
the House of Commons after its rising, and
walk home to his house in Piccadilly at

morning all the cares of the state on
his back, and all the salient points of the
night and mornings discussion in bis head.
During the winter, he is here, there, every
where, dlscharging the duties which belong
to his station-now featuring the farmers
on improved modes of culture, now giving
advice to the farmers laborers as to how
they may rise in the world on nine shillings
per week, and now discoursing, trowel in
hand, on the blessings of education, when
laying the foundation stone of q new litera-
ry institution which a benevolent gentleman,
out of his liberality, has bequeathed to q

conditions, and for the prosecution of the war
for their preservation. In its last issue it
uses the following strong but just language:
"'The most contemplate funkeysm of which
we have any knowledge, is found in Northern
men and newspapers who oppose the prosecu.
tiOn of the war for the preservation of the
Union, and the suppression Of treason and re-
bellion. We hate a traitor from any quarter

man who processes to be for the Union, ard

from the Advocate, and adds:

The State Journal of Thursday contains a
tabular statement showing how many Of the
forty.one Coloncls now at the head of Ohio
Regiments were elected, how many appointed
and by whom appointed, their political ante
ce,lents, and what if any military experience
or education they had previous to taking
charge of their commands. From this an
alysis it appears that twenty-three were ap-
pointed by Gov. Dennison, Of whom II are
Democrats, 9 Republicans, American. one
whose politics are unknown-s were educated
at West Point, 5 served in the Mexican war
and in the three months service in Western
Virginia, 2 in the Mexican war and not in
Western Virginia, in the three months SER
vice in Western Virginin, and of the only two
taken from civil life one was an experienced
militia officer. This certainly shows very
well for Gov. Dennison, both us regards quail
fcation OF those selected and freedom from
anything like political bias.
