A YOUNG MAN, who had left his home in

be yellow fever in New Orleans and, though
ursed with devoted care by friendly st,an-
ers, be died. When the coffin was being
losed, " Stop" said an aged woman who

Let me kiss him for his mother!


Ere ye lay him with the dead
Far away from home, another


Sure may kiss him in her stead.
How that mothers lip would kiss him


Till her neart should nearly break
How in days to come she'll miss him!
Let me kiLs him for her sake.
Let me kiss him for his motheri


Let me kiss the wandering boy:
1t may be there is no other


Left behind to give her joy.
When the news of woe the morrow


Burns her bosom like coal,
She may feel this kiss Of sorrow


Fall as balm upon her soul.
Let me kiss him for bis mother

Waited on him as q brother

Needing not the foul infection,


Breathing in the fever-breath,-
Let me, of my own election,


Give the mothers kiss in death.

Seek no tear nor sigh to smother,


Gentle matrons, while ye read.
Thank the God who made you human,


Gave ye plying tears to shed;
Honour ys the Christian woman

We hear this question asked hourly by
persons who have lately come over here. 1t
is much easier to ask question of this de-
scription than obtain data to correctly an
swer it. We are induced to think their
numbers are much overrated. Two years
since the band of Pah- h-Utahs, under the con-
troll of Young Win-ne-muc-ca, was called
upon to meet the whites and receive some
presents. kept IN account of the blank
cts distributed among them-one to each
male of the party-l78 pair, was all that
was required. TIL chief said that was all
the men he had control OF. The head
quarters of that ban was at Pyramid Lake.
The Chief, known as Old Win-ne-m muc-ca,
has probably as many more warriors. His
range of country is from Smoke Creek, on
.he Honey Lake emigrant road, to the Hum
boldt River. North of that section there
are no Pah-Utahs. From the Humboldt
River, south and east, to the Colorado River
is the portion of the country where the
Pah-Utahs most abound. The Indians in
that section have never molested the people
here, and probably never will. Should a
difficulty occur, the Pah- Utahs proper can
not raise force of more than three or four
hundred men in the entire scope of country
200 miles to the east of Carson City.


These valiant warriors, about whom we
hear SO much talk, are but poorly armed
and instead of the fine steeds which they
are the reputed possessors of, they own no
kind of stock but the veriest scrubs of In
dian ponies-one or two fine American
horses which they have accidentally obtain
ed, excepted.


We refer the community to any old trader
in Western Utah for information about the
truth or falsity of this statement If it is
correct, what is the use of an entire COM
munity, numbering six to eight thousand
souls, becoming SO excited because there
are few hundred Indians diving two days
travel from the white settlements,) who
make some threats. the Indians UNDER

with grin, "you had better step into the

FAYETTEVILLE, Arkansas, October 3.-The al
legged murderer of the two persons whose bodies
We're found on the mountain road, between this
place and AN Buren, on the 23d ult, was brought
here last night.


This morning a large crowd collected and insist
ed upon hanging the man at once, but by the re.
peated efforts OF some of our most influential cti-
zens, the crowd was finally prevailed upon to allow
his captors to take him back to the county in
which he committed the deed 1t is thought that
he will be hung either to-day or tomorrow. His
wife is in custody as an accessory to the deed

the planter for his loss.

There have been no movementsin real estate this
week. The glory of land speculators-the dealings
in lots under water and lots not under water-have
departed for the present. The new city railway to
The Metairie Ridge will open the way for a few in
vestments the coming year. There is no demand
for fashionable dwelling houses other than in the
way of renting for the season, or perhaps now and
then by the year. Landlords and proprietors, how
ever ask as much for the season as by the year.
From present appearances there will be more
houses and dwellings wanted for the year through
than usual as travelling next season will have
many obstacles to be overcome that will render it
necessary, perhaps coarenient, for many Of our
heretofore transient residents to remain the year
through.

The spirit that predominates in the North


ern States and which shapes and guides theil


counsels, is strikingly manifest in the choice


which the Black Republicans have made
candidate for Governor To preside over the
destinies of that commonwealth they have
chosen one John A. Andrew, an anti-slavery
fanatic of the Garrison school, His political
character is thus graphically sketched by the
Boston Post, leading conservative Journal.
1t says:


"His caucus speeches have been in one
continuous strain of bitter hostility to the
South, and abuse of its Institutions his
course in the Legislature was that of a violent
ultra Aboiitionist, and he endorsed even the
removal Of Judge Loring for executing the
Fugitive Slave Law and to crown his DEM
asosask career, IN the wanton invasion of
Virginia, be presided at public meeting and
pronounced John Brown to be right. If
Massachusetts makes such a politician its
governor, how can it avoid the charge that it
endorses the foul work of war on sister
States ?''

The telegraph bringslsad intelligence Of the
sudden death (by appoplexy) of this eminent
citizen. A good man has fallen in Israel; and
the church ofwhich he was shining orna-

the loss of one who has long stood proudly
and nobly conspicuous for the virtues, abilities
and endowments of the patriot, the christian,
and the sage.


"To the common rest that crowns our DAYS


the good man goes


And full of years, and ripe in wisdom, lays


His silver temples in their last repose."


Pure, faithful, and exemplary in: 'alkhis re-
lations and duties-towering pre-eminently as
Saul, "a head above his brethren"-he has
served his day and generation, and is now
gathered to his fathers. The mighty colossus
Of his intellect stood on pedestal that con-
nected Il with earth and with heaven, and it
seemed fit that he should dedicate his life and
his talents to the high calling with which his
name was indissolubly associated from one end
of the country to the other.


As apulpit orator he stood in the front rank:
but not in the pulpit alone did the bright traits
Of his character display themselves. Happy
in the consciousness of doing good, he diffused
happiness around him wherever he moved
Like beautiful sunrise his presence gave a
soft and golden glow to every scene. Every
successive page in his life is emblazoncd with
constant and persistent fidelity in the dis
charge of the duties which it fell to his lot to
perform.

The election of Lincoln has produced de-
cided change in public sentiment in New Or
leans. Men who have heretofore been noted
for their union sympathies, are declaring
strongly for secession since the election of Lin
coin.


The Crescent and Bulletin, both conserva-
tive Belleverite papers in the Presidential con-
test, have declared for State action The
Courier and Delta teem with bold and power
ful arguments and stirring appeals in favor Of
the same policy. The current of public SEN
timent is decidedly Southcard. An immense
citizens meeting, in which party distinctions
were wholly obliterated, was held few
evenings since and strong disunion resolutions
were adopted. We had laid them aside for
Republication but they have been misplaced
Suffice it to say that they have the ring of the
genuine metal.

Are the Northern States which are under
Black Republican dominion faithful to the
compact which is the foundation stone and
the indefeasible condition of the Union ? The
Union Democrat, published far away amid
the bleak hills of New Hampshire darss to
utter the truth. and replies no 1t says:


But are the Republicans faithful to the
compact are they true to the obligations of
good neighborhood even ? We say no. Their
whole course is insulting and aggressive
Because our Southern friends feel it to be so,
and know it will continue SO, we believe they
mean what they say, and that troubles of a
more or less serious character will follow the
election of Lincoln.


And it adds further:


Let those who imagine that the South will
quietly acquiesce in the election Of asection-
al President, suppose that the South had
majority of the electoral votes. Suppose
and it requires no great stretch Of Imagination
to do it-that the doctrine was popular there
that the people OF the Territories should have
slavery, whether they want It or not, and that
no free state should be admitted to the Union
Here we have a counterpart of the Republican
doctrine of the North This Southern ma
iority triumphs upon the theory that Congress
shall establish slavery in all the Territories,
and that none of them shall be admitted to
the Union without it. What would the
| North do ? Resist. Yet, people don't be-
| lieve that the South will do the same thing,
lyunder an exchange of circumstances for, be
it observed, the circumstances, in theE politi-
cal relations arc precisely the same.

promptly sprang to the side Of Lovejoy tho
other day, and has proposed to fight
Pryor with bowie knives, is rather a des-
perate character, with good deal of the


wild dash Of the borderer in his air and

He was born in Maine, is the descendant
Of grave and pious parents; his grand
father was clergyman, and he is one Of
the most quiet and unostentatious mem-

Though he stands erect, and carries his
head firmly on his shoulders, he is one OF
the last persons in the House whom o
spectator would select as the man who
backed down the pink OF the Virginia chiv-
airy with bowie knife. Potter resembles
rather self-possessed lawyer or mer-
chant, or even clergyman with a strong
spice of the world in his composition, than
a Western borderer. So little stir has he
made in the present Congress, that sew
eral Democratic members of the House
and several Republican Senators did not
even know him by sight till after his affair
with Pryor made him conspicuous.
