NUTRITION; How PossTBLE-The blood
is simple this-A SOLUTION OF FooD.
Now it is the function of the blood, to
build up afresh continually every portion
of the frame But for this building-up
process, it is not enough that blood be
present, simply There must also, so to
speak, be willingness and readiness, on
the part of muscle or brain, or whatever
else it may be to take up from the blood
the peculiar nourishment it may stand in
need of. "One man, as the saying goes,
may lead the horse to the water, but

True Friendship,

In the matter of friendship, says
Charlotte BrOnte, l have observed
that disappointment arises chiefly,
not from liking our friends too well
or thinking of them too highly, but
rather from an over estimate of
their liking for and opinion OF us.
that if we guard ourselves with suf-
ticient scrupnlousness of care from
error i'm this direction, and can be
content, and even happy, to give
moro affection than we receive
can make just comparison of circum
stances, and be severely accurate in
drawing differences, and never let
self-love blind our eyes-then i
think we may manage to get
life with consistency and
unembittered by that
which springs from re-
vulsion OF feeling. The moral is,
that if we would build on a sure
foundation of friendship, we must
love our friends for their sakes
rather than Tor our own.

Radical RaScaIity.

The following instance of Radi.
cal rascality, as practiced in FlOri-
da, is only one in a thousand that
come to us from all sections of our
Southern country where they are
in authority: A Mr.. +. l.. Young,
who, though not a lawyer, is Grant
Judge of Alachua county, has an
uncle who practices in his court
To engage the uncle as counsel is
not only to make sure of winning a
case, but also to escape the pay
ment Of counsel fees which are ex-
torted from the litigant so unfOrtu-
nate as to be opposed to the un-
cle's client. The people of Alachua
county are becoming impatient of
this Grant style of doing business,
because both parties cannot secure
the services of the uncle at the
same time. The arrangement is,
however, a good one for the uncle,
and being i'm full accord with Long
Branch precedents. it is not pre-
sumable that FlOrida's carpet bag
will interpose the
slightest objection to this rascally
manner Of defrauding the people,
and perYeStpg the ends of justice.

Indian Battle.

Advices from Muscle Shell Riv-
er, of the 18TH via Fort Benton, Mon
tana, contain the particulars of
Il bloody battle fought on the 11th,
between the United States troops
and a tribe OF Indians known as the
Uncapahas- a fight occurred on
the 4th, but as the results were
comparatively insignificant, we
omit the particulars as published,
and refer directly to the main bat
tie. 1t seems tfsat the Indians, af-
ter the first engagement, fed 10 the
''bad lands" and by order of Genl.
Stanley, GeDl. Custer, with four
hundred and fifty cavalrymen,
started in pursuit, the result OF
which is thus detailed
Gen. Custer left on the night of
the Sth, and on the morning of Au
gust 18th, at daylight, was attack
ed by about 500 Indians, who came
down to the river and fired on his
camy. The firing was returned for
two or three hours, both parties u.s.
ing trees for cover. A party of
800 Indians then crossed the river
above and below the camp, endeav-
Oring to reach the bluffs in the rear.
The man liismOunted on the bluff
and received them bravely. The In
dams beyond the ridges kept up
CALLING fire until Custer ordered Il
charge. The men then mounted
and pursued them hotly for eight
miles. just at this time the train
came up and opened on the In
dams across the river with artillery.
A few shots dispersed them and en-
ded the fight. This battle, which
took place within two miles of the
Big Horn, was fierce one. Gen
eral Custer and A0iutant Ket-
cham had their horses shot from
under them. Lieut.. Braden was
badly shot i'll the thigh. Private
futile, Gen Clusters orderly, was
killed, and twenty soldiers slightly
wounded. There were four horses
killed and three wounded. The In
dams loss is estimated by Gen.
Custer at forty killed and wounded.
The Indians were well armed with
heavy rifles, and had abundant am
munitiOn. Some were dressed in
clothes procured at Agencies. These
were mainly Uncapahas, supposed
to be under the command Of Sitting
Bull. 1t is also supposed they have
received their supplies from Fort
Peck on the Missouri. The eXpe-
dition arrived at POmpey's Pillar
on the 18th, reached Benson on the
10th, and is now, however, home
ward bound. Gen. Stanley expects
to reach Fort Rice by the LIST of Oc-
tOber. Health good. Lieut.. Brad

Tho Regulated Bonds.

From the following letter, which
we find in the Clarion of the 2Sth
it will be seen that Beast Butler,
the thieving father-in-Iaw Of Genl
Ames, is surely working in the in
terest of parties holding these re.
pudiate bonds. The charge that
this vile man was the attorney OF
these bond holders, is fully substan-
tiated by the letter. Let all Mis-.

i'll the welfare of the State read it,
and then decide as to their future
action:

THE COMING MAN.

We have carefully read our eN-
changes with Il special view to as
certain their opinions and preferen-
ces in regard to the man who is best
fitted to lead the hosts of DemOcra-
cy and Conservatism against the
forces of Radicalism III the coming
conflict, aud our researches have re-
suited in the conviction that Gen.
Benz. G.. Humphreys, thus far, seems
to be the most prominent person
spoken of in that connection. The
Democratic press generally accord
to him all those high and ennObling
qualities so essentially necessary in
the moral, social and political char
acter Of the Governor Of a great
State, and without which qualiffca-
tions the chair thus occupied would
be disgraced and degraded. All
that is necessary to defeat the
usurpers of our soil, and once again
establish a pure and stable govern
ment, is the harmOnizing of all the
elements of discOrd and distrnst in
opposition to Radicalism; and it
seems to be the general opinion,
both among Democrats and Con-
servatives, that Gen. Humphreys,
in greater degree than any one
else, unites in himself the elements
essential both to success and wise
of our State affairs.
If this be true, and we doubt it not,
patriotism as well as policy
points to the selection of General
Humphreys as our standard-bearer.
Should the Convention, in obedi-
ence to the wishes of the people,
nominate this noble hero and states
man, and the rank and file will but
do their whole duty, there need be
no apprehension as to the result of
the contest; and when he is borne in
triumph to the Capitol of the State,
will have hOnored her
self by thus elevating one of her
own sons to the highest Office with
in her gift.

The Race Barriers.

The New York Ncars has this to
say of the Beauregard uniGcatfon
failure:
General Beauregardfs attempt to
miscegenize the people of Louisia-
ma has failed. There was a great
flourish of trumpets when he pro-
claimed the policy of equal social
rights for all men, but somehow
neither whites nor negroes rallied
to the call. The whites are unable
to get over the prejudices implanted
in their breasts by nature, and
while they are willing that negroes
shall vote and enjoy all the politi-
cal privileges that they do, they
cannot reconcile themselves to the
idea of mixed schools, dinner ia
bles and sleeping cars. Therefore,
they decline to train in General
Beauregard's nEificatiOn movement.
On the other hand, this generation
of negroes will never be induced to
trust themselves in any political
alliance with x-COnfederates-
They regard the old white popula-
ton as their natural enemies, and
the carpet baggers as their natural
friends. No amount of reasoning
will knock the distrust they have for
the former, ont of them. They
were once slaves to the Southern
whites, and they believe that the
capet baggerS gave them freedom.
The nOblest Southern gentleman
might talk to them for day in
vain. They could be persuaded by
the shabbyest, sneakingest carpet
Dagger in a minute. Therefore,
they will not train i'm Gen. Beaurc-
CARDS unificatiOn movement. With
only a handful of well-meaning the
Orists to back HIM, the general has
received his worst defeat. I'VE see
no reason to regret it. Social
between the races has
been tried in the British West In
dies. 1t is almost needless to
dwell upon the results. 1t is nOto-
rious that the hybrids, which have
sprung from the amalgama ton
which followed the wiping ont of
race distinctions, are mentally and
without stamina. I'm
der their shifIess rule the garden
spots of the world are wildernesSes.
A quarter of a century of Beaure-
CARDS unification would make Lou
isiana and Mississippi what jana
ca and San Domingo are. The best
policy is to let the present genera
ton of blacks go their own way
Concede to them every political
but waste no talk on
them. The next generation will be |
better educated, and will be better
able to distinguish between their |
true and their false friends. The |
salvation of the whites Ofthe South
west will not be won by process
Of miscegenation, but by preserv-
ng those peculiarities of race
which both white and black i'll
feel are right.
