The Lands Along the Potomac River.

We have made several Jaunts down this
beautiful river, and 1t occurred to us yester-
day that we would accept the standing invi-
tation Of our old and esteemed friend, Capt.
Stackpole, OF the steamer Arrow, and AXE a
round trip with him over the placid waters OF
this historic stream, Accordingly, without
ceremony, and almost without letting a soul
know where we had gone, we passed. ourselves
quietly on board OF the Arrow, and made a
day oft.
We have nothing special to communicate Of
to the Washington public that is not already
familiar to them as household words; and
therefore we will not try.
But we may say that word which will at
tract the Northern man In search ola home In
the south. There are thousands of New Eng
land farmers working hard on their sterile
Lands, and getting a scanty support, who
could, with little money, Judiciously ex-
pended, on either branch Of the Potomac,
make themselves In a very short time ele-
CANT homes, and obtain for themselves and
their families a retreat where all the Injuries
and comforts of life might abound. Farming
and gardening upon the lands along the line
OF this river can be rendered very profitable
II only requires Industry, such as the New
England husbandmen knows how to use aud
command, TO secure in this country ease,
prosperity and wealth, Everything that the
land can produce will find a ready market in
Washington, Georgetown and Alexandra.
Steamers viii run daily and at hours which
VIII render 1t convenient for all purposes Of
pleasure and business.
We expect TO see In very short time the
banks of the Potomac lined with elegant cot
tages, where prosperity, comfort and peace
with true allegiance shall reign supreme; and
we say to our New England farmers and gar.
ieHers, Come and see these lands for your.
selves"

LUTHER HERRIN, SON of A. W. and A. P.
hATCHER.
Ere sixteen months had elapsed the death angel
visited our lovely home, and darSened its light
with his sable wings, and with his icy fingers un-
tied the golden thread Of life, and bore loving
LUTHER to the sun lit cline. He WIS indeed
lovely child; intelligent and interesting for one
so young; the pride and hope OF Parents,-the
pet of grandparents. But God in his goodness
saw he wai too much tho idol of our hearts and
took him from among u.. Alas how soon were
our bright anticipnti,ns blasted and we caused to
mourn! But why should We mourn when We
know his sweet voice is chanting the praises OF
God in Heaven, for Christ hath said "of suchjs
tho Kingdom of llcavan!'
We've laid him in the cold, cold ground,
TIC luved-thc early dcad,-
Beneath the dark and silent mound
We've made his little bed.
We may no. fear with heavy tread
To wake his slumbers deep,
FIR rests in peace his gentle head
In deaths lons dreamless sleep.

ofpropcrty swept away BY force Of arms, sits

dusiry, and hopes of the people, and each
passing year but deepeus the burthcn. On
III hands, we hear il freely admitted that the
county is bankrupt" and that something
ough; TO be done towards reputation, or
compromise. But the bug bear is the Con-
st:tution" The inviolabi!ity of contracts
Congress passes laws regardless Of the Con-
s.i;n,on and of all right and justice, which
sweep away our property, and places it utter
IS on: Of cur power to meet these obligations.
Net we are told that Conventions cannot pass

Banl.rnp. laws are passed however, ard deb
tors bidden to ril themselves Of these ncum.
ntauces. Temptations are offered for fraud,
ani the obligation Of contracts impaired by

that in cases Of Bankruptcy, the creditors
generally get nothing, while the Judgments"
are only partially and to small amount ''sat.

Nov could universal rule of settlement
be adopted on the basis of 25 cents on the

would soon be relieved of its embarrassuents,
all creditors would be partially satisfied, and
the clog taken from the wheels of activity
and business enterprise. The amount relcas

made up to him, in the increased prosperity.

of the community and State at la re.
How can this consummation ne attained ?
Let the people NEE: at the Court House and

to assemble here in short time. resolve 10
follow the example of their Edgeiiel fellow

STARVATION AMONG THE TNDIANs.-A cor.
respondent of the St. Paul Pioneer, writing
from Fort Wadsworth, Dakota Territory,
March 9Th, gives sad account of suffering
and starvation among the Indians who came
in aud surrendered to the authorities at DEVILS
Lake last fall. Near the Black Butte, on the
Mouse river, there were eighty lodges, all Of
whom are presumed to have perished. There
was also small camp at the Northern
"Chicfs Bluff" who were entirely without
supplies, and no hope is entertained of any
of them being in existence now. The Indians
at Devils Lake are getting fish enough to
furnish them with about half meal day.
Fifteen lodges, near Dogs Den. were without
game all winter, and all are believed to have
perished. The correspondent estimates the
whole number of lives lost in the region re-
ferred to at from four to six hundred
