INDIAN TROUBLES IN BUrrE.-The Marysvillc
Appeal of July Goth, has the following: A pro-
clamation had been issued, threatening all Indians
who did not come in by Saturday night and de-
liver themselves up, with determination. One
hundred and three came in to Chico on Saturday
morning. and expressed willingness to be put in
charge of the SubIndian Agent The body of
the second Lewis boy had been found at the foot
Of precipice over which he had been thrown by
his captors. The girl captured made her escape
by a shrewd piece of strategy for one 80 young.
The party of Indians who captured her, nine in
number, killed an OK and when they came to the
foot of high hill the girl pretended to be entire
ly exhausted and unable to walk any further
She asked them to let her lie on the ground till
they carried the OK up the hill and then carry
her up. They went on with their burden, leaving
her and when they had nearly reached the top
Of the hill. she sprang up and ran with all her
might. They pursued her, and she only eluded
them by crawling into the thickest chapparal
when they passed near her, and running when
they Disappeared. When she finally reached a
grim field and left the chapparal, they SAW and
followed her till the workmen in the field. who
ran toward the girl when they heard her call, saw
them. They then turned and disappeared in the
chapparal, and the girl was safe.

SOUND DocTRINE.-The New York Journal of
Commerce we'll puts the matter thus:
We sustain our Government because it is free
Government, intended to make men free. and to
pcrpeuate liberty. Why then incur the fearful
danger of destroying all that We contend for
"Any means to save the Union" says the ardent
patriot But is there no limit! Let us see Ii
to save" the Union" we must make monarchy
| an autocracy, to last ten or twenty years, with
the dim hope Of reducing it to republic after
ward shall we do that? No replies the Ameri-
can. What then? If to save the Union we must
sacrifice present comfort. present wealth. life that
we love, sons that are the.hOpes of existence.
all the rightest dreams of our past years, shall
we do thatf Yes-a thousand times yes? But
shall we sacrifice the principle of liberty in the
vain hope of saving liberty? No.
The distinction is u visible one. We cannot,
we must not give up liberty to save liberty. But
we are told that it is nothing to give up tempo
rarily. 20 we only save it perpetualy afterward.
Who insures its safety? Who guarantees that the
sacrifice shall be only temporary? All experience
forbids to trust the assul ance. The guarantee of
no mere men is sufficient to make the iice
safe All history tells us that when men give up
liberty for an hour they are years in reganng it.
if they ever wholly recover its blessing.
But when the will of any one man, or of any
body of men, transcends the law, and imposes
burdens, restraints or penalties that are not law
full then it is no longer our law that weighs on
us, no longer our Government that has its hand
upon us, and liberty is danger To require the
people to submit to any such arbitrary exercise
of power is to require them to yield self-govern-
ment for absolutism !; and though a thousand
voices promise that the sacrifice should only he
temporary it is impossible to believe them. Just
So in all history, liberty has pcrished and repub-
| lies have vanished from among governments.

A NIGGERHEAD COOLED OFF,-The other
evening a we'll dressed, sleek tongued Niger
head found two or three of the gallant Third
Ohio boys, recently arrived at Camp Chase,
quietly enjoying themselves fishing in tho
Sciota, short distance above the city. A.
ter few casual remarks, the Niggerhead
emmisary suggested to the heroes OF Pi'ss' urg
Landing, that the present was most favora-
Bile time for them to denounce and stigma
tize Democrats as "traitors" and "rebe SYM
pathizers." They very promptly informed
the sneak, that they regarded the Democrat
ic party as The only loyal party in the coun
try; and they moreover informed him, that
such was the opinion of their entire regiment
with but very few exceptions. The aforesaid
Niggerhead and sneak thereupon expressed
great astonisbment, that men who went to
the army as Republicans should join the De-
mocracy. The gallant Third Ohio boys were
proceeding to give reason for the faith that
is in them, in terms not very complimentary
