A Remarkable Incident.

The N. Y TEnses, letter from the Sa-
vannah river has the following:
A rather remarkable incident occurred
yesterday. Early in the morning small
schooner, painted lead color, with her sails
set was discovered adrift in the river,
about mile in the rear of the flag of truce
feet and two miles above Fort Pulaski
The vessel was boarded from the steamer
Gen. Lyon, and found to be Abandoned
She proved to be a blockade runner from
Nassau, with cargo of so sacks and 20
tierces of sugar, 8 crates of crockery, and
a number of boxes of oranges and lemons
Subsequently it was sscertained that the
schooner had passed the mouth of the riv-
er, unperceiyed by the gunboats on block
sde and by the lookout at the fort: but
on getting up to Col Mulford's feet. was
deserted by her crew on the supposition
that the transports were feet of gunboats.
Had her Captain not made this mistake he
would have passed on to Savannah unmo-
Tested, as It would have been a violation
Of the flag of Truce for Col Mulford to have
seized the vessel. But finding the schoon-
er in derelict condition, she wss taken
possession ofin behalf ofthe United States
Government, and towed by the dispatch
steamer Eliza Hancox to Port Royal, and
delivered to Major General Foster COM
manding the Department. She was quite
new and her cargo valuable.

whIskey and Newspapers.

a glass OF whiskey, SAYS an exchange,
is manufactured from perhaps dozen
grains of mashed corn, the value of which
is too small to be estimated. A pint of
this mixture sells at retail for one shilling,
and if good brand, is considered by its
consumers well worth the money. 1t is
drunk off in a minute or two; it fires the
brain, rouses the passion, sharpens the APP
petite, and deranges and weakens the phys
ical system. 1t is gone, and swollen eyes
parched lips, and aching head are its fol-
lowers. On the same sideboard upon
which this is served lies newspaper, the
new, white paper of which costs about two
cents.
This is covered with hundred thous-
and types; it brings intelligence from the
fourtquarters of the globe; it has in its ear
ly printed columns all that is strange or
new at home; it tells you the state of the
markets; gives accounts of the war, the
execution ofthe last murder, the last steam
boat explosion or disaster, articles on phil
osophy, government, religion, DE, and for
all this, the newspaper costs less than the
glass of grog, the juice of a few grains of
corn.- n.----=--
/ 1t is no less strange than true that there
are large portion of the community who
thinks the corn juice cheap and the news
paper dear, and the printer has hard work
to collect his dimes when the liquor deal
ers are paid cheerfully. How is this Is
the body better paymsster than the head
are things of the moment more priced
than things of the future? Is the etrapsient
tickling of the stomach of more consequence
than the improvement of the mind, and
the information that is essential to a ra-
tional being? If this had its real value,
would not newspaper be worth many
pints of whiskey ?-British Standard.

IMPORTANT INDIAN TREATY.

Gov Lyon, Superintendent of Indian
Affairs for Idaho Territory, held a grand
council for the Shoshone Indians (com-
monty known as Snakes) at Fort Boise,
ON Monday last, the 10th inst, and treat
ed with them for all the land thirty miles
each side of Boise River, from the source
to its mouth. Two hundred and fifty In
dians were present Tam Tomeeo, the
principal chief, and twelve headmen rep
resented the Shoshones. Col. Maury,
Maj. Truax and other officers of the gar
rison were witnesses to the contract. This
treaty is all that could be desired by the
settlers in the Territory, and it will tend to
puta stop to Indian troubles. The COVER
nor has been with us but few days, and
has accomplished the work of months, and
in some instances of years. He will leave
in a few days for the southern part of the
Territory, for the purpose of rfecting trea-
tieswith the other Indian tribes.

what seward thinks Of Turkeys.

~
Mr.. Seward Is sreported to have said in
a recent conversation, that while this war
had developed the resources of the coun-
try tola an extraordinary extent and while
in the formation of our army and navy, the
American people has displayed more en-
ergy than was ever witnessed in any 9TH
er nation, what would be most surprising
of all to the people of Great Britain, would
be the fact that after carrying on such a
tremendous war for four years, the citizens
of the United States had, on few days
notice, gotten up three hundred thousand
pounds of turkey tosend to the soldiers
inthe field. The sage of Auburn remark
ed that their were more turkyes eaten by
the private soldiers in the Army of the Po-
tomac on Thanksgiving day, than ike
number of the middle and poor classes of
England are able to buy in five years
There were many who viii agree with
Seward, that the turkey dinner to the sol
diers was large thing

OOULDN,T FOOL HER.

The Lafayette Ind. Courier tells an
amusing story of some ladies and gents Of
that place, who were taking social walk
near the cemetery when ghost appeared.
They all ran but one sturdy woman of the
strong minded class, who stood her ground
till the ghost got to her, when she seized it
and thrashed out of his frightful disguise,
a mischievous fellow who had heard the
project of walking about the graveyard dis
cussed, and hid himself there to give the
party a fright. She did not scare worth a
cent; but led him back to to the house, and
in reply to the questions that poured in on
her said: ''Can't fool me; I've seen too ma
ny men in sheets to getfrightened at them"

The Columbus (Ga) Sun publishes a
letter from a member Of Georgia Repi.
ment, which shows how depressed the re-
bels are at this time The writer saws:
Yesterday and to-day we have been
passing through the finest region of the
country we ever saw, but all looks sad and
desolate. Fences are laid waste and fine
residences burned, 50 that should the own
ers ever return to re-occupy their once
happy homes, they viii find no shelter for
their heads, and the fencing around their
fields totally destroyed.
You never saw body of men as anx-
ious for peace as this army. | sometimes
think they would sacrifice almost every-
thing short of honor in order to secure
peace. We are waiting anxiously for the
election in the United States next week,
which all hope viii result In some sort of
settlement. This subject would afford me
thought to write more thanI have time
or space, and the approach of darkness
warns me to close. 80 IF. NJ G.

The Westward movement.

The overland emigration during the
past season is estimated at over 100000
persons. The Rocky Mountain regions
and Pacific coast have given homes, tempo
rary or abinding, to this vast migratory
multitude, and yet so broad is the land to
be peopled that the increase of population
is hardly felt The main body of the emf
grants have located in Colorado, Nevada,
Utah, California, Idaho and Montana. Or
egon, Washington, New Mexico and Ari-
zona have had comparatively few acces-
sions; and Nebraska, Kansas and Dekota
have probably lost more citizens the past
season from gold on the brain, than have
settled within their borders Gold draws
stronger than fatness of soil.

DEVILS INCARNATE.

A diaboieal affair lately occurred in 0s-
age county, Missouri; the guerillas attack
ed Mr.. Owen Riggs farmer, and demand
ed all his money. Discrediting has state
ment, they ordered him to follow them
They took him to the woods, built a fire,
stripped him naked, tied his hands behind
him, tied a rope to his legs, and drew his
feet to the fire and roasted them, one of the
demons sitting on his breast and another
holding his mouth to prevent his cries be-
ing heard. Subsequently they drew him
FIVE times over the fire, tying his legs to
sapling to prevent him from struggling.-
They Also built fire upon his breast burn
ing him there severely and threatened to
burn him to death. They also beat him
about the head with clubs. Failing to learn
where he had any more money, simply be-
cause he had no more, they left him.

There are poems unwritten, and songs unsung,
Sweeter than any that ever were heard
Poems that wait for an angel tongue,
Songs that but long for Paradise bird.
Poems that ripple through lowliest lives
Poems unnOted and hidden away
Down in the suols where the beautiful thrives
sSweetly as flowers in the airs Of the May.
Poems that only the angels above us,
Looking down deep in our hearts may behold
Felt though unseen, by the beings who love us,
Written on lives as IN letters Of gold.

The wonderful idyl of life that thou givest
