For em them brake the smddem foe; So thick they died the pe~ple cried " The gods are moved agasiat the land. The priese in horror about his altar To Theor and Udi lifted a heand, 'Help ua from famine And plage and strife ! What would you have of as ? euman life ? Were it oar neUrest, Were it our derest. (Answer, 0 answer,) We give you his life." Uat "till the foemean spoil'd and burned, And cattle died, and deer in wood, And bird ia air, and tIhed tu.'n. And whiten'd all the rollang good ; And dead me lay all over the way. Or down im a furrow scathed with fame, And ever and aye the Priwthood moan'd Till at 'ast it seemed that ao aower cam.e: ",The King is hmpp" In child and wife; Take you his nearest, Take you his dearest, ive w life.' I& pries weas out b7 hasb sad hill, The Kiag was hnetng is the wild; bey foun the mother setting still; She cas her arms about the child. he child was only eight tsummers old, Bi. beauty still with his yars inaemed, Mis aee was rddy. hi hair was old, Be seemed a victim due to e Prie.

Daily is the chair. A aill was introduced by Uon. John Doaluga, deiag who shoubl be coasidered competent vwters a. the Territory of Montana. Bill reflered to Election Comn.iLtee. Thesubject for disceusion was then considered is order. lon. Mr. Wright msai that he represented eae of the richest counties in the Territory of Montana, which consileration would ree der him equal to the more able speakers of the House, to whom he submisted the ques Moe. Mr. Sheel said he had spoken before om the subject of the memorsal before the bouse; that he had never recognised slavery ns jest or right, but be considered It palpably wrng that so much blood of white citisens sheuld be shed in order to elevate the negro noe. The object of the reconstruction law was so secure a majority of votes in the elec ties of eeaeutive iers, and if sch conduct was persisted is, it would be very detri.atsal to the interests of the country. Mom. Mr. gleestus maid s. was opposed to the memorial mad that through mmam of the obstiaacy of the South, Cor was con ,"ed to place them under military rule, and Swas cotmilered ecear by Gina. Shermam for the protecti of the live d propqst I the loyal citiemms l the South. He con idewrd at prfeertly comesitutieaal that the government ocials who had perjured them selves should he distrachised, sad that the rights of loyal citiseus should not be denied s the angroes who fought side by side with the soldiers t the North to restore the Hon. Mr. sl.grave said he coamidered that the memorial claimed n.tbhig unremsomae, amd that it would be in ccoeedace with the spt of comme hamamity, that Conmgre dreps the receaetraction law. Reo. Mr. Willims euleised the old which Washlagto and his ctemporarie ramed sad adored. The North was jutiiabl-e is its protection cad not one star shoai lose its brilliancy. Having accused Cougrems of being too svere sad uaeecessarily Imposing military retrictioa on the South, he coacle ded his remarks by arguiag that vindictive feelm.gs should ow be discoatinued, mad that he was therefore in favor at the me orial. Hom. IMr. Vatrokl said be b*ad preems ly ezpressed his sentiments on the subject in qestion, but he would do so again on this occasion. tie ared that Congress had dome nothing unconstitusionally, which he said hit opponents could not deny, and Andrew Johnson proviou to his being elected as Vice President of the United States, had sarmed that Congrees had the prerogative of reoon straction. He argued that if the people of the South had a right to seek permissiao to come back into the Union, Congress had a right to investiate their claima and to ascer tain if they maintained a republican form of government, and their govermment was found to be an oli~rchy. He then proceeded to reate sl e l of the aruments of the oppo site party, and concluded his remarks by stating that no loyal man had ever objected to the proceedinge of Congrem. lion. Mr. Johnson argued ably in favor of the memorial and noted the itvancible obsti nacy of the opposite party, who tie sad were not willing to b convinced. le then called attention to some of the critical fetures of the memorial, and considerel its passage as mecesury to the peace and pr'pe..rity of the nation. Hons. Mr. Richmond, ione an and Bed man, each spoke on the long debated quetion and submitted the memorial for inal passuee. On motion it was put to a voe and carried; yen d. asys S. Notice was then given by eom. Mr. Wright of his intention to intre dace a bil petiening Cogres to repeal as aet tgualg the rachi of the Ter ies; also a llraoting divorcee on alight We. A. Reperter. InJ the present semasn of tornadoesand earthquakes in the West Indies. the snbhjioed information has an uusual interest : Those islands were so named by Co lumbes in honor of the 11.000 virgins of the Roman ritual. They may nlw be said to be divided between England. Spain and the United States. The Span iards lay claim to these Islands near Porto Rico, and the United States have just agreed to the sum for the purchase of the Danish islands of St. Thomas and St. Juan. an additional sum to be paid for Santa Cruz. provided France will waive her claiml toe tha:t ipland. Cotton grows luxuriantly in these islands, and its cultivation was increasing. The chief town. Tortola, was on the south side of the island of the same name, close to the water's edge. At the census of 1861. 6.051 persons w.ere, enumerated in these islands, eo tar as they were Briti~sh, distributed over an a,-a of 94 square miles. The population included 478 whites, 4.018 blacks and 1,.557 mixed. The statistics of nationality show that only 26 of the inhabitants were natives of ireat Britain and Ireland; 243 were natives of other West Indian colonies, and 5.644 were born In the colony. The British Islands are Tortola, Virgin tiords or Pennistan, (sometimes corrupted into Spenishtown) Joe Van Dykes. (Uuana Isle. Beef and Thatch Islands, Anegada. Nichar, Prickly Pear. Camanas, Ginger 'ooper's Salt. St. Peter and several other smaller islands. Mr. Martin., in his sta tistics of the colonies of the British Em pire, compiled from the oficial records of the Colonsl Olffice, states that the Virgin Islands were celebrated for a great variety of ish. The area of the several islands. ln acres, is stated to be as follows: Anegdsa. 81200; Tortola, 18.000; Spuaishtown, 9,500; Joe Van Dykes, 8.00; St. Peter's, 1,800; Beet dan 1,500; (nans Island, 1,190; and forty other ilands, with an area varying from 900 doew to ive acres each. am eresgia Waaewn ,tasfrs. i Director Delmar, of the t~atietical Burssse in regly to a enommnnietion from General Butler, has given same la teresting financial statis:ics, going to prove that the c.vilisatiu of the world depend. ls a gir measre upon the character sad quantity of ts circulating medium. He traces the amount at coin age from the Augustan Age, A. D. 14. when it amounted to $35,000, to the present time. and shows that from the year named the amount of cola in circa Istlos gradually dimialshed uneil A.

Its marked increase was in the year 1.600, when the mines of Potoe were opened. which marked the cleosing of the Dark Ages. From the commencement of the ninth to the close of tihe fifteenth cen tury the credit system tecame estab lished is Europe. The lendig of money on interest daring most of this period was deemed odious, and the tradc fell entirely into the hands of the Jews, who, becoming greatly enriched by it, were frequently plundered. The taking of interest seems first to have been reg ulated in VensIe. in the twelfth century. when the legal rate was four per cent, and controlled by a few Jews. Thelong monetary dearth daring the centuries named led to the social degradation which marked the Dark Ages. and which culminated in the system of feudal laws from which even yet modern civilization has failed to entirely tree itself. In 115: the Bank of Venice was founded, that of Geneva in 1845. and of Parcelona in 1401. Between this time and that when the Bank of Amsterdam was founded. A. D. Iti7, occurred the influx of the pre cious metals from America. The present amount of coin in Europe and America he estimates at $2.800,000,000, of which $500,000000,000 are in gold.
