been discharged from the estab' shment n

given orders not to allow him in the kitchen.
Fatally for him, he went there yesterday
morning, and taking cup asked the pantry
man for some milk and sugar, and was about
to go TO the coffee urn, when Meuillot told
him that the proprietor did not allow HIM to

passenger; but he endeavored to keep dark,
and may therefore be considered conspira-
tor. When l saw him on his way out TO the
United States TO organize, lie told me plainly
that he should return to resume the head OF
his rebellion; and he has returned as far as
this country, and has now only to run the
gauntlet, and get into some Irish port-that
is to say, If he intends going on with the
dangerous game, from which very few per
sons rise up winners. We shall probably
soon know who are in the right-those WING

Dear Journal:
Our train, now consisting of 43
mule wagons, (mostly 10 mules to
each wagon), 3 four-horse wagons,
and 10 ox-wagons, "a Americans,
3 ladies, 6 children. 60 Mexicans and
one negro, were taken in charge by
the military authorities, at Font
Larned, on the LIST day of this month,
there organized under the leadership
of genuine Mexican Train Master,
Jose Chavis, and ordered to
proceed to this Fort, and
report. We reported as per order to-
day. Now we have our orders to trav-
ell; not, however, on our own chosen
route, but to report at Fort Lyon,
which will lengthen our journey 2O3
miles. But this becomes necessary on
account of the hostility of the Indi-
ans. We have met with no troubles
from them, and [ am still of the opin-
ion that we shall not, for our motto is,
Better be sure than sorry" Our
train is we'll armed, and -four courage

tend with triple our numbers. -as.
Last night, a report reached our
camp that train had been attacked
yesterday. about 8 miles from u.s.. To-
day I received the official, report from
Major Douglas, commanding this post,
as follows:
Three men wounded, four missing,
So head of cattle. and 10 head of
horses and mules stolen, at the
mouth of Mulberry Creek, eight
miles below here, and at the time of
the occurrence three miles from
where we were travelling. One of the
missing men has, since the report,
came into the fort. Two were found
dead, and one was seen to be carried
off a prisoner by the Indians. This
was the result of carelessness. The
train was travelling on a route for
hidden hy treaty and by the military
authorities, and the men guarding
the stock were totally unarmed
A small party OF Kiowas are now in
sight.of our campo The scents have
decoyed a few into the fort, and they
are now prisoners. No doubt they
are the guilty party. The Major is
holding them to try to ascertain facts.

GENTs-After careful enquiry,
come to the conclusion that the crops
generally in this part Of Illinois will
be far above the average. Wheat
never looked better or gave greater
promise than now. To be sure, there
are few spots, where indications of
rust is found but, thus far, it is main
ly confined to the leaf, and will not
do much injury. unless it should ex-
tend to the stalk. A friend from
Albion, who. had just returned from a
somewhat extended trip through Wa.
bash County, assured me, on Monday
last, that he never saw finer pros
poets, and he is good Judge
Corn looks well, although the heavy
rain-storm of week or two ago did
considerable damage to someafelds by
washing up the hills. Those farmers.
however, who instead of sitting down
and bewailing the visitations of Prov
idence,s went right to work and

good one.

information. [ do not tn NIX so much
ground is devoted to this crop as.
there was last year, probably because
prices are not so good. During the
past three weeks a very large amount
of tobacco has been. received here,
as we have some Indianians at our
town, buying all they can get.

planted. Formerly, considerableIoot-

Occasionally, here, as I presume is

son to pay his taxes. The rust win

or else the fly will destroy it, or it
will all turn to cheat; Ad he will

just as well plough up the whole field

the issue therefrom being declared illeciti

The issue of poiigamy can hardly be
considered more .'illegitimate' than the
attempts which Congress has made from
time to time to put an end to it. Every
movement in this direction has resu,tee,
in bastardy. Brigham has LAUGHED at

Of two helpmects. In Utah the Rev.
Brigham numbers his coneubines by

not only does the same sun shine on

RAILROAD CAR f1rIQUErrE. The Ci..
ca.o Ifttoge has the following sensible
advice to railroads about the foolish prac-
tice of locking their car doors:
During the war there was some ex-
cuse for 1,t8tes' cars, but now there is Ger
tainly none especially when all pay the
same price fer passage. Under this lock
car rule, ali other ears are virtually
smoking cars. There are many gentle
men who travel, to whom tobacco smoke
IS highly obnoxious, and yet these men
are iield prisoners in these smoking cars
If any car is 10 lie locked let it be the
smoking car, and pat ali o,Ile. pa3scn
gers Oh their good behavior. IF man
will supke, let him 90 into The smoking
car il a man will chew and squirt MS
tobacco juice about the Car, soil ladies
dresses. let him be sent to the smoking
car Because an inveterate chewer and
squirteg of tobacco has his wife or daugh-
ter with him, it does not follow that he
should have any betterright to the ladies
car than well-bred gentleman who trav-
els singly. Gentlemen, take off your
locks and put your passengers ON their
good behavior.
