referred to the B~yron-Stowe scandal, and

greatly inoonvenienced by the water
which, in many places, is three or four
feet deep. The overflow possesses many
attractions-at least to our young folks,
who, disdaining all fears Of a ducking,"
ride about in their little canoes, and seem

The Stsuewau Cotton Mills have sold
nearly their whole product-cloth and
thread-for the past year in ST. Louis.
Their sheeting, at fifteen cent per yard,
is heavier and smoother, and made Of
better cotton, than any Of the same grade
Of goods manufactured in the United
States. The S|tonewalI Mills are in the
pine barrens, near Enterprise, ninety
miles above Mobile, on the Mobile and
Ohio railroad. The operatives are, with
out exception, white women and chill
dren-many of them widows and orphans
Of the war. The profits Of the company
for the past six months have exceeded
thirteen per cent. The cost of the estsb-
lishment was about 500. OOC. Can't Mem
phis create such a house of correction, or
Of industry, where vice and idleness are
anticipated and prevented instead Of pun

Major Boudinot writes to the Van Blu
ren Press from Washington: Commits
Sioner DelanO informed me the other
day that he had reverSed his opinion, that
1 had q right, under the treaties and the
law, TO manufacture tobacco in the Chero-
kee Nation, without complying with the
revenue laws; and that as the St Louis
manufacturers could not compete with
me in the Indian trade, he had resolved
to pa. a stop to my business. The Indian
country is in d bad way; I have no idea
the Cherokee treaty viii be ratified; the
golden opportunity was suffered 10 so by,
8 year or more ago. There is strong prob
ability that a territorial bill win pass; the
immense power Of the Western railroads
Is combined against the continuance OF
separate naIionalities among the Indians.
Whas would be the best policy for them
TO pursue under the circumstances, is hard
10 say. The Cherokees have a large dele
cation here, representing them, who viii
doubtless do ali they can"
The Chatham (Canada) Planet gives a
deservedly very complimentary notice to
Mr.. Cartier. the lighthouse keeper, at the
mouth Of the river Thames. Recently be
TIsked his life to save that OF an adven-
JurOus fisherman, during an almost blind
ing SNOW Or.n. ihe man was OF MS
aay to Carriers for some supplies that he
ly-g there on occasion Of a previous visit,
when hummOcks Office were so abundant,
and being tossed 80 wildly about as to
prevent anything like sailing or rowing. (
H5 g0s within ten miles Of the light
house, and there amid d low " ice, was
hemmec IN, ia danger Of being frozen to
death. From this dilemma he was res

way over the Ice and through such water
openings as he could find, and finally
grssping the almost famished man,
brought Linn, not without much aiBcOlty,
and eueouutsriuS fresh dangers a every
step, to the lighthouse. This is only one
of many similar acts Of humanity and
bravery that link tHe name Of Cartier
with all thai. is great and noble in human
nature.
