"a Rev. Mr., Fullmers a missionary at Cameroons. West Africa, writes home concerning Something of q most Inter esting character" 1t Is that the "reigu of cruelty and aud terror which has pre- vailed there for ages has come to an end" 1t had been supposed for some time that the people had put away all their old superstitions, as they professed to, but, 1t waSs found that one, and that the worst one, had been retained. 1t was the Mungi,. 50 called, being the name Of q powerful secret order, ages Old, and into whose. mysteries no one b d dared to enter. These Mungi, II seems, had certain groves In which they lcultiyateda poison herb which they gave to such as they wished to kill and eat. The chief, a, Christian, h. named Green, encouraged BY Mr., Fuflmer, be- coming satisfied that this evil SILL ex- listed, called all the people together BY drum-beat aud had all the head NJ ungi seized and tied up. The truth was now brought out, and the poison herbs were produced and basket loads of them thrown into the river; confessions were made, one, man giving the names Of twenty-seven persons whom he had killed BY this poison, two or them being native, teachers wb0A Mr.. Fullnier had placed ap one OF his stations. The groves were destroy ed, and the head men ofths Mdngi condemned to transportation, and SO, Mr.. Fullmer. believes, this last terri.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 9.-[Spe- been popular in the minds of the people, who regard them as a transgression upon their constitutional sovereignty. They de- mand a knowledge Of the senate's proceed ings, and applaud the enterprise of the press in obtaining it for them. The meth DDS of purveyance they care not for. Pub lie sentiment is unquestionably with the reporters in the senate indictment against them, anent the publication of executive secrets. Senator Dolph's committee to investigat to the leakage has not been conspicuous for its success. Not Il reporter could be found who would violate a confidence, and for this commendable and rare quality the committee advised punishment of the con- tumacious scribes for contempt. The committee erred in trying to stop the flow of a great stream at the wrong extremity. 1t would have been better had they sought to dam it at the source. If they cannot do the latter land in the light of experience it is evident they %cannot), then their proposed accommodation of the press is mere brutatm fulmen. Failing to elicit any information of value from the scribes, the committees transferred its at tention to the senators, and was engaged Friday in making them swear that they never gave anything away. Senator Pierce promptly and emphat- ically declined to anSw any questions concerning the investigating committee or to express an opinion on the secret ses- sions. remarking that the question was not up for consideration. He said, however, that he is in favor Of having the official re- porter Of the senate give to the associated press correspondent the vote on every con- in order that the constituents of each SEN ator may be informed of his attitude. IRRIGATION FOR THE DAKoTAs. Major Powell is recognized as the high est authority on the subject of irrigation. which so deeply interests our people, and. at the request Of Senator Pierce, has pre- pared estimates which, if approved by congress, will enable the work to be COM menced in the Dako

A Splendid Chance for the Tax payers. by our Bowling Green correspondence. and also thrOsgh the Sentinel, we learn that scheme has been foisted on the Commis siOners for pur- chasing the Phillips farm, by way Of addition to the County ln6rmary property. The objections to that operation are clearly stated by our correspondent, and the scheme is very properly denounced by the Bowling Green lSsniinel. With money scarce, and the burden Of taxes in this county oppressive, this is no time TO incur unnecessary expenses for lands which are not required by the people. II the cond- tion of the lnfrmary farm be as II is represented by our correspondent, that is destitute of good water, it would be better 10 sell the whole con- cern, rather than 10 add to that ineumbranee. The learned counsel who defended the muir derer PnILLIPs, as we are informed, hold the III lie TO his farm for the service they rendered him on his trial, and are now attempting to sell 1t to the Commissioners at eA2 per acre. That seems to be the milk Of the cocoa nut. They wish t. open the nut by cracking II on the heads Of the | taxpayers.

Bleeding from the NOSe.-Puta a piece of paper in your mouth, chew it rap idly, and it will stop your nose from bleeding. This remedy has been tried frequently, it is stated, and always with success. Physicians say that placing small roll of paper or muslin above the front teeth, under the upper lip, and press ing hard on the same, will arrest bleeding at the nose, checking the passage of blood through the arteries leading to the nose.

It seems the party of Indians camped some ten or twelve miles from the negro town, intending on the next night to go and charge upon it. The news of their ar rival reached the negroes, and they armed themselves and sent word of defiance to the Creeks; and the next day a party of Semi inoles, all stripped and painted, appeared on the opposite bank of the creek, who sent a banter for fight Upon these beIlger- ent demonstrations, they concluded to come to barley. When last heard from, the head chiefs of the Upper Towns (Crceks) had repaired to the scene of difficulty, and with the chiefs of the SemnoIes were waiting for the arrival of Col. DuvaI, the Seminole Agent, to 20 into council. The negro town is den of runaway slaves, where every negro who can make his escape from Louisiana and Arkansas is harbored. It should be broken up by the military; some day it will be the cause of serious troubles between the different tribes and the Seminoes, as we'll as between the citizens of Arkansas and that tribe. The troops at Fort Smith, instead of be- ing removed, ought to be increased.-Ar. kansaS Htehigencer We see it stated that 100 of the negroes spoken of above have been arrested.

The Washington OnaOn contains a com munication from Democrat, in which the following just tribute is paid to MT. FILL MORE. It is the more valuable as coming from one which the Union vouches for as an old and staunch political opponent: All eyes, all hopes, all thoughts are now turned to Willard Fillmore, and dare pro- phesy that he will not disappont the hopes and wishes of patriotic people. Unless am grossly deceived in the character of the man, he is a true patriot. He will stand by his party, for in his heart there is no guile; and he is too honest and honorable man to tolerate for moment the idea of party treachery or party assertion. But true pat riotism knows no party tIammels; it is far above the petty political influences that govern party action; and knowing MT. Fill more as l do, and have for nearly a quarter of century, although opposed to him po- litically, l hesitate not to say that purer patriot, truer man, does not live. Firm as the rock of ages in his devotion to his country, he will cast aside all extraneous influences, and save us from impending danger. If he does this-and he wiH do ft it is to be hoped that men of all parties will be ready to bestow upon him the need of praise due to him who saves his country from division and ruin. Ibelieve him to De the man for the occasion. F.
