AN INDIAN NATION.

Tnr truly important subject Of tho
consolidation of the various tribes of West.
ern Indians, has assumed the shape of a
bill in Congress. On the 25tl, ult., Mr.. Pom
eroy, of Kansas, introduced bill into the
Senate, which provides for the consolidation
of all the Indians on the frontier into an
Indian nation. FOR an equitable settlement to
be effected with them, their dues invested
in seven and thrce.tenths per cent stocks
for their benefit and lands to be furnished
to them TO the amount of eighty acres Tor
each individual cmigrating the land to be
located within tho limits of the present In
dian territory. The bill prohibits the man
uiactmo or introduction of Intoxicating liq.
uors, and forbids the granting Of licenses
to trade to any but Indians, members of the
consolidated tribes.

THE TAX QUESTION.

A WASHINGTON correspondent Of the Co
lumhus JowndL says the tax bill seems to
be almost an ntcrminablc affair. Interests
likely to be affected by the law, are repre-.
sented from all parts of the country. at.
tempting notifications or total immutics.
Some, it is lamcntablc to say, are engaged
in the selfish business of attempting to
shift the burthens of the war upon their
neighbors; while others, more patriotic and
enlarged in their views, shrink from no
portion of the public load The New Eug-
land representatives vote against n tax on
cotton, because it effects their manufactures
Of that staple, while Pennsylvania opposes
u tax on coal and iron, which are her two
great interests. The Great West asks for
no exemption; but stands ready with her
strong shoulders and hearty hands to give,
and work and sacrifice everywhere for the
holy cause of the country.

ny MyRA.

How dcplorable tho thought that men
will engage in anything 80 degrading to hu-
manty as the selling of Intoxicating liquors,
We can regard it in no other light than a
traffic which at once obliteratcs from the
mind of him who engages in it, all generous
and pure feelings, and in the extinction of
these he becomes alike inscnsibc and re-.
gardless to the claims of his fellow crca-
lures. He deals out day after day, the
maddcning draught which no we'll knows,
not only ruins the body but destroys the
soul, And while we blame, and yet pity
the poor incbriate who writhcs under II
bondage he has not tho moral courage to
break. We loathc and dctcst the man who
coolly and deliberately deals out to him the
poisoned draught which is slowly hut sure
ly bringing him down to toAdrunkard's grave.
Upon him moro than upon his wrecked vic
tim should the ccnsure of all good men and
women fall. When once the insatiatc thirst
for Intoxicating liquor has been formed, he
it is who holds out the tempting bait, he it
he who fills the sparkling goblet which
sends the fire of hell coursing through
heart and brain. In every village all over
our land the rumsellor may bc found. He
may be known by his sinister look. As
everything seeks its equilibrium, SO III an
occupation low and groveling as his, we
are sure to find corresponding mind
And woman! What shall be said of her,
who encourages her husband in this soul
winning busiucs? Woman, whose mission
it is to lead man into higher life. Scarce
ly can we imagine the depths into which
she must have fallen. One instance of a
woman weeping over whisky which had
been empticd into the ditch, has como to
our knowledge. Oh, shame where is thy
blush? Far better weep over the ruined
beings whom your whisky would most as
surcdly have taken with it. Far better
visit their homes and weep with those whom
you have caused to weep, the suffering
wife and worse than orphaned children.
Drmkards have their part i'll the lake
that burncth with fire and birthstone" II
this dreadful doom be the dru k,rd's por-
ton. What we ask shall be that of the
rumscllcr. Surely tcnlold punishment
and u more fearful rctribution await him.
And if there be place in the drunkard's
hell where the flames burn ts focus there
shall the rumscllcr be found For if the
lrunkard escape. not, how shall you, O,
runscllcr. And what shall be your plea
when called upon to answer not only for
your own soul but for the souls of those
whom you have dragged down to pcrditon.
Surely you shall he borne down to the low
est hell by the curses of the mothers, wives
and children, whose lives you have render
ed dcsolate, but who still walk among us
bearing the lifelong burden of an untold
anguish. Rumsclcrs a day of rctribution
cumcth and the souls of slain thousands
shall be required at your hands.

They're gone 49, the wstch-fres they have set

The powder smoke is blown away;
Faint, brukcn shouts fall ON my ear;

Yet, thosgh my comrades all are far,
There CLEANS full many golden star,
And angel bands light up, ON high,
The ct ,rnal watch fires of the sky.
On, comrades brave, tn victory!
Farewell, We banners, high AMI ir.e

White banners, in the moonlight spread,
Float through the heavens above my head
Slow sinking now | see them wave

oh, loved one, It's the thought Of thoc
Alone weighs down this heart III me;
Yet weep not, love, be this thy pride,
That bravcly at my post did
The Lord Of Hosts, unseen, on high
leads ont the armies of the sky:
Soon shall H. call ray name out clear,
And ], true sentry, answer: Here!
