MIR. DONNELLY's SPEECH.

s ability, as we find in the Uncon-

n:luding paragraph from an article
the subject:
"Mr. Donnelly's measure is an import
one. We believe his speech on this
l is his first effort in Congress. He is
asidered one CT the most promising men,

intellect and ripe scholarship, and he

Mr.. Donnelly emphatically does hon.

From tic Siosx City Reg;.t<r

From tic S;osx City R<gi.t<r s s.5
\ We learn from the Davenport Demo
crat and Ners that Brig. Gen. sully:
took his departure from that city on,
the 9th inst, for St. Louis, where he
goes to mature his arrangements for
the Great Indian Campaign during the
coming summer. For this purpose he
has to charter about dozen boats Of
draft suited to the Upper Missouri riv-
er navigation for the transportation Of
troops and about 1900 tons of commits:
sary stores for the use Of the Expedi-
ton and supplying some posts already
established and those to be established
by General Sully during the coming
season. 4~... as-@. ~
The expedition will be composed Of
about $500 cavalry and sufficient in
fantry for boat guards Each boat
will carry two pieces of ordnance on
her bow for offensive operations. At
a point on the Missouri river known as
-Bois Cache Greek, the expedition will
be joined bya detachment Of $500
cavalry and battery or two Of artillery
from Minnesota, by the way Of the
Yellow Medicine river. which will swell
tho force to 5000 men. A portion ef
this force will be engaged in establish
ing military posts-one Of which will
be at Devils Lake, one on james river,
one on the Missouri river near old Fort
Alexander. Each of these Forts will
be garrisoncd by about 400 men, one
half cavelry, and one half infantry, and
will be supplied with one years previs-
ions. As soon MS the forces have joined
at Bois Cache Creek, aud the ptelimina-
ries have been arranged, Gen. Sully,
with force Of about $500 cavalry,
starts for, the Black Hills on \ special
visit to oil these Indian tribes that in
fest that unexplored country south and
west Of the Missouri river and which
are yet strong in the belief that they
have the ability to whip any set of
white men that ever lived. The bulk
Of the fighting will probably be done in
the vicinity Of the Black Hills, for it
is there that the hostile tribes are con.
gregating in no mean force. Gen.
Sully goes prepared to give those ami
mails such warning as will teach them
a decent respect for the power Of the
pale face.
During all his Indian campaigns, Gen.
Sully has never had IN opportunity to
visit the country Of those war like tribes
south Of the Missouri, and it is said he
looks forward to the campaign with some
degree Of satisfaction, having doubtless
some little personal accounts to settle
with the red skins OF that locality.
TIL: 9th and 7th Iowa cavalry 60 with
him on his long expedition. From the
Black Hills Gen. Sully moves his forces
in north-wes. wardly direction to the
head Of navigation on the Missouri,
where he is to rejoin the boat. and
come down again with tho "fall RISE"
The expedition will set out as early as
possible in order to make tie long
march projected before the coming Of
another winter.

Ambition.

1t is noble mark in man to be possessed
of true and aspiring ambition; a worthy de-
sire to raise himself in the scale of the useful
and good, to give wings to his intellect that 1t
may float aloft and behold the vast field Of
knowledge Of all that is worthy to be obtained
for this transitory life.
Those who possess this noble mark Of a
man, are not content to drink of the common
stream of mortals, but with steady eye and
firm resolve begin to ascend the steep and
rugged sides of the towering hill of science
and fame, and as they pass boldly onward and
upward, the pure, sparkling waters gushing
forth ever invite them to drink freely, not to
slake the thirst at once, but to tempt them on
ward to partake at the fountain head.
Point out youth of true ambition and you
behold one eager to gain the summit of all
that is noble and exalting; he looks not for
such honor as money or mere title can give
but for that which may not take wings and
fly away, leaving him more desolate than il
he had never possessed it. G tA
Yet there are those whose ambition has no
higher aim than to seek pleasure in fashion
and folly, and like fashion cease to be, -they
pass away and are forgotten. c. 81. G.

space to particularize his performances; suf-
fee it to say they were done up with great
skill and to the satisfaction and amusement of
the large number present. The rope trick
was failure, from the ignorance of those

ISOLATION; but it was observed that he did not
engage with as much interest as was expect
ed in their blasphemous amusement At
ength one evening, after they had read some
portions OF the Gospel, he suddenly began to
say, with an unusual gravity, I" However II
may be with this book, gentlemen. / freely
confess on behalf OF the truth, that know no
one, neither, in France, nor in the whole
world, who Is able to speak and write with
more tact and talent than the fishermen and

and of such powerful Influence on the mind,
and possessing such unweakened and pervad-
ing effect, after the lapse of centuries, as each
individual account Of the sufferings of Jesus
Christ, in the book before u.s."
He ceased-all at once, instead of the laugh
ter which shortly before had rung through the
hall, a general and profound silence ensued.
The truth of the speech was felt. The compa.
ny silently broke up, and it was not long be-
