Discomfort AMONG THE INDIANs.-A

in the vicinity of town for some two weeks
past, waiting the return of the Superintend-
ent, to have a talk with him in regard to the
intentions Of the Government towards them.
Mcddlesome and reckless white men have
been creating the impression among them
that tho Government was broken up, and that
their land was to be taken away from them in
violation Of treaty stipula,ions. We under
stand that Mr.. Waterman has quie.td their
apprehrnsious and that they have left for

perintcndents is construed into a change Of

readiness to believe anything that is told
them. They do not understand the policy Of

The News.

The news for the past two weeks has been
of more than ordinary interest. The capture
of Atlanta by Sherman The surrender Of Fort
Morgan on Mobile Bay, thus giving us the
entire control of that important ha,bor. and
releasing a large blockading squadron which
can now be employed elsewhere; Grants
possession of the Weldon railroad, the main
and almost only means of communication with
the southern portion Of the Confederacy the
overwhelming defeat of Wheeler and Morgan
in Tennessee the failure of EARLY i'll his sec.
ond attempt to invade Pennsylvania and Ma
rylnd-the success of our armies in all quar-
tiers, with no serious reverse, presents a most
encouraging aspect of affairs.
The political new is equally cheering to
the friends of the Administration. The re-
suit Of the long talked about Chicago Dem
~ocratic" Convention is all that the friends Of
the Government could desire. as it conclu-
sively shows that there is nothing serious to
apprehcnd from their reasonable machina-
tions. The fact that they have placed a war
man upon a peace and secession platform will
not fail to disgust all honest peace "Demo-
Gratis" Besides, those who have watched
McClellan's course since the outbreak of the
rebellion, can have no faith in either his hon
esty or his sincerity.
The election news from Vermont, the
"frst gun" since the nominations have been
made, show very large gains to the Admins
tration cause. Grants letter to Washburne
indicates very clearly where his political SYM
pathies are, and cannot fail but have a good
influence upon the public sentiment Of the
North. 1t is undoubtedly true, as General
Grant says, that the last hope Of the rebel
cause is centred in the election of a peace
President, and that a united North would end
the rebellion in a few weeks. The large mum
Der of deserters who are now coming into our
lines, amounting according to Grants esti-
mate to a regiment a day, will, if continued,
soon break up the rebel army.
Tho news received on Tuesday evening
last must have been a terrible damper to the
hopes Of the Democracy" If Grant could
be driven out Of Virginia, and the Govern
ment credit run down to twenty cents on the
dollar, as has been SO confidently predicted
and zealously prayed for by Copperheads,
they would have some little chance o. elec,ing
their candidate, Mcclellan. But in spite Of
their efforts to accomplish these results, Grant
still holds every position he has gained, and
is steadily but surely contracting his lines
upon Richmond. and the credit of the Gov.
eminent is slowly but steadily improving. and
the indications are that it will soon be back to
where it was before the democracy" com.
menced their systematic efforts to dppreciatt
it as a last effort to aid the rebellion.

CONFIDENCE IN WIvEs-If you are in
trouble or quandary, tell your wife-that
is, IT you have one--all about it at vnce.-
Ten to one her invention will solve your dif.
icuty sooner than all your logic. The wit
Of woman has been praised, but her instinct
is quicker than her reason. Counsel with
your wife, or your sweetheart, or your moth
er, or your sister, and be assured that light
will flash upon your darkness. Women are
too commonly judged as verdant in all but
purely womanly affairs. No philosophical
student Of the sex thus judges them. Their
'ntultions or foresight are more subtle, and
II they cannot see cat in the meal, there il
no cat there. In counseling one to tell his
troubles to his wife, we will go farther and
advise him to keep none Of his AFFAIRS secret
from her. Many a home has been happily
saved and many fortune retrieved, by mans
full confidence in his better half" Woman
is far more seer and prophet than man.
If she be given a fair chance. AS general
rule, wives confide the minutcst OF their
plans and thoughts to their husbands, hay
ing no involvments to screen from them
Why pot reciprocate it. if but for the pleas
ure Of meeting confidence We are certain
that no man succeeds SO well in the world as
he who. taking partner for life. makes her
the partner of all his impulses or Judgment
she may check or set Alright with her almost
universally right instincts. "Helpmect was
no insignificant title, as applied to mans
companion. She is helpmcet to him in eve-
ry darkness, difficulty aud sorrow Of lifc.-
Ard what she most Graves and most deserves
is confdence-without which love is never
free from shadow.

A TRIAL OF UGLNEss.-Ihe followir z
amusing anecdote is from the "Knick
Knacks":
Tho west is great country. Tall things
happen there now and then. Here is a spec
linen: We were passing through the upper
lakes recently, with our old friend Captain
Howe, on the Hcndrick Hudson steamer
One OF our travelling companions for the
time, happened to be a thoroughbred Hoo
Sicr, "A prince of a fellow one who feared

We hadn't been long aboard when the Cap
tain called our attention to q most remarka-
ble looking individual seated at the end Of
the cabin. We have seen some i'll looking
men in our day, but so ugly a man as this
had never crossed the scope Of our vision. -
Howe declared him cinphaticay "the ugl;est
man that ever lived )" whereupon by stand.

Self. As they entered the cabin door the
betting party With an air of conscious tri-
0mph, turned to direct our attention to his
champion, when he discovered the fellow
