Our Country.

Perhaps you have never thought what
your country means. 1t is all that sur
rounds you-ail that has brought you up
and fed you-al that you have loved. -
This country that you SEE these houses,
these trees, those girls who go along there
laughing this is your country this is
your country! The laws which protect
you, the bread which pays your work, the
words you interchange with Others, the
JOY and grief which come to you from the
mcu ana things among which you live
this is your country! The I:i,.r room
where you used to See your mother, the
remem5ranccs which she has left you, the
earth where she rests--tk,s is your country
You see it, you breathe it everywh here -
Think to yourself Of your. rights and du
ties, your affections and your wants. your
past and your present blessings; write
them all under a single name and that
name will be your country. We owe it
all that We are, aud he who en- Joys the
advantages of having free country. and
does not accept the burdens of it, forIeils
his honor, and is IL bad citizen.

his recen. trip down the Missouri river

some dozen th'rs, about one hundred

encountered a large band of Sauntee 10.
dams camped upon both sides of the river,
who fired upon him and compelled him to
land. The Indians boasted of being from
the Minnesota river and as having killed
very many whites there, and that they in

handful, aud take what they had Mr. G

the time, and by his ability to converse
with them, and the judicious distribution
Of nearly all his provisions among them,
together with the entreaties of his wife to
spare them, or her threats that her tribe
would avenge her husband death--af,er
much delay and intense suspense hey
were allowed to proceed. They report
some 1900 lodges in that vicinity, and
found one young lady, about eigh;een
years of age, daughter Of James Price,
of H.. and ascertaned from her that there
was another woman and i've children held
as captors, aud could be purchased or
would be exchanged for ponies. The en-
tire party were grieved at their weakness
and inability to release the prisoners from
their horrible BONDAGE, but knowing tLat
it would be worse than folly to attempt it,
they could only comfort them by assuring
them that they would use every exertion
to urge forward an expedition Of sufficient
strength to release them from captivity
and capture the Indians.
This probably settles the question as to
the whereabouts of those Indians who
have escaped from Col Sibley.

On the top Of ridge of mountains in
Portugal, called Estrada, are two lakes OF
great extent and depth especially one OF
them, which is said to be untalh Omabic -
What is chiefly renaraOl> in them is, that
they are calm when the sra is so, and
rough when it is stormy. 1t is therefore

to be confirmed by the pieces OF ship
