relative 10 a new kind Of food adopted by
the Digger Indians as they are called:
" There are two considerable Indian vii
lagos in the vicinity at the present time.
and the Indians. who looked as lean and
gaunt as half famished wolves during the
past winter. now appear enjoying all the
luxuries that an abundant supply Of beef
and bread can afford. The hills in the vi
entity are ver,lant with nice tender clover.
which is devOured by these poor savages
with as much sus;o as an epieure would de-
vour the most dainty dish. They gather
the clover in baskets and prepare IL for use
by heating large stones and placing a layer
Of clover veil moisfened between each LAYER
Of stones. It soon becomes ready for use.
and each one Of them will eat supply Of
clover thus prepared that would almost sup
ply horse"

THE FArE OF THE TERRITORIES. How

fate Of the unoccupied Territories west Of

evitably be smitten with the curse ana
blight of slavery. The North Is in arms 20

crime. and no one pretends 20 doubt that
the success of the North on the Mississippi
would secure from the polluting gasp Of

The North have colonized many new States

South. But the North has never establish

The Territories are the real issue al stake.
and the sword was never drawn in more
righteous cause than that which seeks TO
preserve them from the misery and pollu-
ton Of slavery.
