II was on the 18th Of June, 1857, that
arose with the expectation of spending a
cheerful day. But, alas when | raised
my window and saw the clouds gathering
thick and fast, my hopes were blasted.
Still it did not rain so proceeded in
getting ready as fast as | could. | was
not near ready when heard voice call.
ng-"Cousin, the girls are waiting and
the cars are nearly filed" Now the idea
Of having them leave me could not en-
dure, for was bent on going. as l had
heard we were TO Lave such nice music,
&C., so / hurried SO fast that in crossing
the porch my head came in contact with
the porch bannisters, bidding il pain.
ful good morning. l arrived in time to
gain seat with two others-a young wo-
man and her little brother. We were
soon going at full speed, passing green
corn. fields and little villages with the in
habitants gazing at us so intently, j

young lady-concluded to go down to the

room. We knocked at the door. "Come
in" was the answer, in loud but pleasant
voice. / knew in a moment that they
were Irish. The family consisted Of one
old lady and two girls-her daughters, l

glass of pure, sparkling water. We
thanked her, and took our departure.
We then visited the Telegraph Office.
There we found very kind gentleman,

We found tho grass all dry, for the sun
was sending the heat down so severely
that We felt like dropping under the first
shady place We came to.
After eating Of all the goodies we
brought, we then proceeded to visit Cen

was TO see beautiful monument Of costly
marble, but instead there was a common
stone wall built around the grave, with
tall cedar trees on every side, making the
place look like perfect wilderness. We

termination of the rebellion, but the men
who had controlled tho country for half q
century would not relinqush their power

Louisiana, but in every other ex-slave
State that, if successful, the condition of
the negro would be worse than before the
war.

who had done their best TO destroy this
country, who had prosecuted him, and done
all in their power to crush and destroy
him, in now asking the aid of him and
others whom they prosecuted, to elevate
them to political power. But he said
he would, if possible, crawl on his hands

in Texas before he would aid in putting
such oppressors in the position which they
before held and to which they now aspire.

The Indian War.

A war with the Indians is not a matter
OF choice with our Government, Us wa'
hopefully reported short time ago. The
savages are bent on doing all the mis-.
chief they can, and their late depredations
have called for decided measures on the
part Of the Lieutenant. General. That
officer is concentrating his forces on the
stage, telegraph and railroad lines to Den.
ver, Utah and Montana, thus securing all
the most important lines of communica.
tion from the incursions Of the hostile In.
dians. The authorities ut Washington arc
promptly reinforcing General Sherman
with detachmcnts Of regular troops, and
general Indian war is now regarded a:
almost inevitable.
