TO LILLY Thou'rt ever on the wing, Lilly, Tliou'rt ever on the wing; So much more like a bird thou art Than any human thing. Then build thy nest on high, Lil!y, Then build thy nest on high, Where the fowler cannot reach it Oh! build it in the sky. I said thou wast a bird, Lilly, Or some erial thing; But birds-they cannot soar, Lilly, Poising on wounded wing. Then built thee with the eagle, And h'gher-if thou mayest: An angel's hand shall bear thee up, If thou fall when thou essayest. For the eagle builis in the clifTs, Lilly, So high is her iountain home; There the archer's shafts reach not, Lilly, A nd the storm-elouds never come. Eut hide not always there, Lilly,. Come to us now and then, A nd tell its of the house thou hast, And soothe our frequent pain. Come at the early Spring-time, When the first young buds appear; We'll think, when breaks their silence, 'Tis thy bird-like voice we hear. Come, at the evening twilight Come at the hour or prayer; A na we'll try our wings together For that upper atmosphere. MOLLY.

C tr -- - -it, LEAXNING A T3ADE. It is a lameitable fact that too many parents consider the learning of a mcehanical trade a disgrace, and Labor ignoble-worthy only of a lve, :nd send ot their sons into the world an neitumberance rather than useful members of so eiety. I'eople too often judge men by their out side appearance. seeming to forget that it is the heart that constitutes the gentleman, and that 0~ d, tle rainent a man wears is no more a test of -eitility tItan the beard that he wears upon.*his fince. Libor and gentility are not antagonists; nd the connectiotn between them m their true nitNiuig is so close, that they are almost insep- h rble. Ve do not pretend to say that every I1 ntmn who labors is a gentleman. but labor is tne essaLry to develop the good traits of the heart, and prevenit idleness from planting the weeds ofr lissipation, which are so ruinous to the young. All greatt men arc hard workers; and in no othi er way could they have attained the position a they hold. fThe most despised calling may be nade honorable by the hontor of its professors; nor will atty trade degrade the man that is in rinsically pure. it is the hteart, the mind, the itention carried into the work that ennobles or egrades him who is engaged in it. Let ntot parents wvho alnost compel their sonsv to speind their time in idleness and consequenit ebaitcherv andt( dissipation, or who teaich their, stnls to believe that labor degrades them ,:andt that the knowledge of a meelhanical trade is a blota on their charatcter, ever cotmplain of disappointedr hopes in their children. T1hte destiny of the -hild is, to some extent in the hands of the pa. ent, and depends greatly upon the prmeciples nculcated by them. How many a poor, idle, lesitating, errin~g outcast is now creeping and l :rawliinglai waty through the world, who tmight; I ave held tip hisa head and looked the world in, the fice witih an unblanuchinig eye, if lisa parents hbad giveni him a trade, and taught him thiat SH onor and fame from no condition rise, Act we1| your piart, there all the honor lies." Mechanics are often sneered at by a certain chtss of pop-gun gentry, because they fear not, to acknowledge that lie is acquainted with a me chanical trade. The man who does this is no < hionor to the race of humanity ; a mere popinjay, whose mind hats been taken complete posses-. sion of by the weeds of idleness. HeI huas never contribtted a single mite to benefit humanity,1 or done a single deed for the good of his fellowl man. The world in him is burdened with an existence that is a curse to it. Then learn your sons a trade, and prepare them to battie with the storms that they must meat, ere they have sailed fur upon the vogage of life. Then they can smile at the storm of adversity that may gather over them in future life, knowing that they have the power wvithtin themselves to meet and conquer it.-Madison Visitor. IOcevrATIos.-Man's business never ennobles his chatracter. A bad nan elevated to an lion oraible ohlice is still the same original scoundrel lie was before his prefermaent, only he has an opportunity of doing a larger amount of itjury. Virtue, hontor, truth and integrity are the same whether foutnd in the street scavenger or in the judge. An hontest man peddling out matches, jack knives or gun flints, is as much entitled to respiect, as his whose freighted ships whiten the ocean. 'Tis man that ennobles his business. Fathers and guardians make a sad mistake, when they persist in crowding their eons or wards into the different professions instead of giving tem a trade, as though a briefless law ver was a whit more respectable than a good shoe black, earpenter, or printer. Young Indies, too, show their want of gumption, when they give honest worth the "sack " because it.is con cealed under a coatting of tar, chalk, smut, ash es, or ink, and give their hearts and hiands to some of the "learned professions" who have not learned to behave decently, or to earn the alt in the bread they destroy. An honest, upright man is an ornament we love to contemplate. His industry and inleg-| rity are priceless jewels and they will give him independence. Point to one professional man who has distinguished himself in proportion to his opportunities, and we can point you to scores of mechanics, farmers and laborers who . have risen to an enviable eminence despite the impediments by which they were surronded. The learned professions are well enough, but all men were not designed for lawyers and doe. tors. Suppose we were all tin tinkers, what a chattering of tin panis there would be ?-Spirate of the Age. WHAT IS TO BE THE END OF IT ?-The fol lowing terrible picture of javenile depravity, is from the New York Mirror. It is no wonder that murder stalks abroad in that city when the dark stream of crime is fed frotn a fountain so prolific. We may well ask what is to be the end of all this ? " One of the most pitiable and painful sights in this citv, is the thousand and one barefooted, ragged and filthy children idling about the streets, or, in stormy weather, plying old brooms at the street crossings. Running among the amnibuses and carriages, they perform. it i true, ! fair share of what little street cleaning is done, lo the shame of our authorities be it sa id-and their remuneration con.sists of the few pennies Iropped into their palms by pedestrians. 0 No less than a thousand of these unfortu iates may be counted in New York on any --iny day. They are principally girls, mo,t of hem gnder teii years of age, but many of thetm welve, Fourteen, and still older. Mixed among hese giils are enough boys to educnte them ini il the viciousness and vulgarity of their sex; 4 between their own depravity, ingrained by I life in the streets almost, from infancy, and hat caltgbt from their male companions, they resent a picture of debasement which might de ight a fen'd bent on the aunihilation of hiuman tv. Low slang, obscenity, and blasphemy of the oarsest kind is their current language from norning until night. This is %isible to any one vho traverses our streets, unless his eyes te trained on Africa, or some distdint land of less. r heathen. When the night comes thiese chil reni scatter to their haunts-where ? Stne go L homes more filthy than the streets they have een sauntering or sweeping, where druilen ithers and mothers eagerly seize the earnings f their children's sin and shame, to prolong the )ul orgies of Five Points and kindred places: lid some, already reckless of home, or home- b ss, seek rum holes, or hells of vice still more isgustin'" a a 4 I CnEAP WASH FOR COTTAGES OF WoOD.-For f; ie outside of wooden, cottage barns, outbuild- 'l igs, fences, &c. where econoimy is important, d te following wash is recommended: P Take a clean barrel that will hold water. Put 0 it h:,lf a bushel of fresh quick-lime, and slake a by pouring over it boiling water sufficieit to >ver it 4 or 5 inches deep, and stiring it till tI aked. a few weeks will cuse the whitewash to har mn on the wood work. Add suflicient water bring it to the consistency of thiek whiitewsh. his waish is of course white, and as white is a Plor which we think ,,hould never be used, ex- g 'pt upon buildings a good deal surrounded by n! ees, so as to prevent its glare, we would make a fawn or drab color before using it.. To make the above wash a pleasing cream ' >for, add 4 lbs. yellow ochre. E For fawn color, take 4 lbs. umber, 1 lb. Indi. h i red, and I lb. lampblack. Il To make the wash grey or stone color add 4 h; is. raw umber and 2 lbs. lanipblack. The color may be put. on with a4emmon hitewash brushi, and will be found much tnore t urable than common whitewash. as the sulphate t r zinc sets'or hardens the whitewash. Is THAT THE TELEURAr AituivED.-A rath r green countryman front the far West, who e ad resided- all his lifetime at a distance from t ie'modern innovations of railroads and tele- n raphs, lately resolved to visit thte city of New i 'ork, and see all the wonders that lie heatrd or p ~ad of as daily occurretices there. Ile resolved r >do the thinig in sty le, atnd being told that the i t. Nicholas was ihe hotel, he pt tip there. At late hour int the evening, and havitng takeni at ttle refreshment, he retired to rest. Thme irst t (ng sounded in the moirning, iind the untsophtis- a iented traveller sprang from his bed in alarm, C mering that someC terrible accident hand happen. ' d ; but he soon recollected himself. amid puttiiig c is head out of the door, inquired of a passer-by hthter that was the telegrrph which had just, rrived?"' "Yes," said thu person addressed, i who was a bit of a wag; and, perfectiy satidfied, he traveller proceeded to dress and pe'rformn his 5 blution. Presenitly there was another clatter i esounding through te htotel, just as thte cotnn rymnan had reached the barber's shop, antd pine d himself under the htands oif the tonsorial op) rator. "I-How did yotu sleep last night ?" satid le polite barber, observing that his customer vas a stranger. "Oh, I slept very n eli till morn ng, was the reply ; - but the confountded iee I raph awoke me." "Itndeedl, sir! did you heair ny bad news from home?"' "lNo, btt I heard ' infernal noise, and I ain't got used to it." LAYIG vir WVEALTII R OUn CIutLDREN. Phe injurious consequences so frequenutly flow ng from this practice do tiot senm to secure any eriouts attention,else the praeaice would be less ommon thtan it is. It is a moderate caiculation ~hat half (of thtose left rich by their parents have ecomed ruined and bankrupt, both itn business md in moral character, if the efiorts of pa. rents were directed more to the right tratininig of their children, and to the formationi of good Itabits and principles in theta, there would be fwer such results. And evetn those wvho are not ruined are certainly dwarfed and enfeebled by their inheritatnce of wealth. If such facts were duly considered, there would be more wis dom and more happiness in the world. BIE not greedy of great gain. You will find it hard to eat more than a loaf a day-two coats worn at otnce are uncomfortable-a great honse will remind you of youtr own littleness, and con tinually mock you with the thought that your last habitation will be cold, dark, and narrow, one that wealth cannot adorn, or mako safe from the attack of the clay worm. Throw awaty pride. H-umianity is a safeguard in which to travel thme dangerous ways ot life. The well-dressed man is often mad~e to stand and deliver. He who walks in the dark may break his head unless he stoops. RULES FOR HEALT'H.--Never drink anything but water. Never eat anything but oatmaeal. Wear thte thickest boots. Walk 15 miles regu larly every day. Avoid all excitement-Gonse quently it Is best to remain single, for then you will be free from household cares annd mat rimo. nial troubles.

Mr. STYLES, Editor of the " Valley Pioner," thus speaks of our Rail Road and the Barbacue of the 6th inst. We had the pleasure of being present on this interesting and-to old Edgefield-important occasion. The object of the meeting, the Speak er, the Dinner, or someting else drew together a large concourse of citizens, and they were ably anI most intelligently entertained for -Home hours, on the subject of Railroads, and the pro priety of one through or near Edgefield Village, by Mr. Perrin, the able and efficient President of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, and our distinguished Senator, the Hon. A. P. Bat ler. Both speeches were characterised by stern practical common sense truths, and if the peo ple of Edgefield take no heed of their councils and warnings, their doom is fixed.' A Road from Aiken to Edgefield is all that can save the place, and unless they build it or some body else build.4 it. which is very improbable, ten years will find t lie people of the Distriet clamouring to remove the Courthouse upon the line of Railroads. The people of Edgefield are required to sub Feribe $250.000, and become partners in the Greenville aud Columbia Railroad affair, as a consideration for this Road, and it seems to us that the very worst view of the proposition, which would be the entire loss of the Stock subscribed, gives to the Vi!lage advantages that ought to awaken the subscribing energies of that people. However, we have but little interest in promot ing such an enterprise, though we are rot among the selfish and narrow minded few who oppose the project because other intersts may suffer by its successful operation. We of Hamburg must take care of our interests in another way. The Aiken and Ninety-six Road will do us no harm if u e but do our duty and build our own favo rite Road. So, Brother Simkins, go ahead, and stir up )our sleeping capital. TnAPE Co.MNG BACK.-We are gratified to see many old familiar faces in our streets,-Pkn ters fron Laurens, Anderson, Greenville and Spartanburg, who have for some time been alienated from us by the construction of the Greenville and Columbia, and Laurens Roads, and the building up of Cotton markets along their line. These Planters have not paid us a visit for a long time, and their coming now is a matter of a little surprise. We ask them why it is that they cro-ss the Railroads with their Cot ton and come here-fifty to a hundred miles-to trade! Why they leave markets at their doors, and go back to the old wagon systetn to get here? They give us various reasons, bnt the most interesting and important one of all is that thev "can to. do better here,"-that they can make money by "hauling their own Cotton, and selling it in Hamburg." We do not pretend to aceount for this, but certain it is that the num ber of wagons, now daily to be seen in our streets, from the Railroad regions furnishes good cause to suspect that the Planter is not altogether pleased with the way they-do things elsewhere. - t -9h; m f;Tdr illianr-d'WelGentemen come on, we are preparing to accommodate you all with the highest prices for your produce,and with groceries low enongh to pay yon very handsome freights for hauling. We can assure you that Hamburg is yet in the ring, and that she is able, willing and anxious to do a good part by you.-Hamburg Valley Pioneer. KELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. The announcement in yesterday's paper of the death of the youngest son of Mr. Theo. S. Du Bose must have 'struck with astonishment those who saw him but a day before his death, in the bloom of health. This sad event occur ed in the most heart-rending- mwnner. We learn ihat in pursuing his sports lie had wan dertd to the gin-house, and had climbed up on the large central revolving wheel -to which the cogs are attached-this, in its revolution, liassed in about two inches of the lower end of one of the upright pieces that sustain the b:nd wheel. In his bovish thoughtliness, not heeding the im minent danger of his position, lie was. carried around, and dreadful to relate, had his neck crushed under the upright piece, producing in stantaneous death. He was about eight or nine years of age. Alt who were acquaited with the mildness and gen teness of his disposition, and the uncommon vi gor and sprightliness of his young intelleet, will know what a sad bereavement it has been to his affectionate parents, brothers and sisters. For tunately for them, they possess the otnly effec tal alleviation to affition-a firm faith in the wisdom of the Supreme Ruler. WVith feelings of profound sorrow we extend them our most cordial sympjathy.--Winnsboro Register. MAN KILLED. The Petersburg Express has the following ne count, of a catsuailty ott thie Wilmington and Ral eigh Railroad last Fridaiy: - The engineer of the mail train from Wil iington, when a short distance north of Halifax, N. U., discovered a white man standing uponl the track. The train was proceedin'g at a rapid rate, and knowing it impossible to check its speed, the engineer sounded the whistle, but the unfortunate nian remained perfectly motionless, and was struck with full force by the enigine. It is supposed instanit death was the result, but as the train did not stop), we have no clue to hit idetity or what led to the rash act." One of our oldest and most esteemed mer. chants left this city on the 5th of August in the steamship Pacific, and returnted in the same yes eel on the 3d of September, having been absent just twenty-nine days, durintg which time he travelled over a large portiou of Englanid. Scot, land and Wales, transacting a large ameunt ci bsiness, closing old accounts of many years standing, openinig new ones, and entering intc negtimions with thie rteal and activity characte ristic of our countrymen-sleeping in railway cars at night, attending to busiiiess during thet day and participating inimusemecnts in the eve. ning.

Mr. Carroll, of Edgefield, has come before the public to answer or oppose the temptest of ex clamation, as lie calls it, with which the late legis!ation on this subject has been received in the city of Augusta. The sort of feeling ex cited in Augusta, generally attends on acts of spoliation, and is generally more vehemently ex pressed by the su ferers, than by those who have no interest in the matter. With Mr. Carroll's agency in procuring the questionable act we have nothing to do. lie doubtless is satisfied in his own mind, of the delicacy ani perfect propriety of his course; the uniform tenor of his life will not admit of a doubt of this-and if there is deflexion in his legislative experience, from the right line, no one who knows him will ascribe it to anything but an error of judgment. The responsibility of this act is with the Legis lature and the dissatisfaction which it has created is not continued to Georgia or Agusta. If Mr. Carroll, or any one else,can remove that dissatis- a faction, lie wiIl gain a great triumph over popu- r lar sentiment. We mean to inquire how far he has succeeded in reconciling to the public con- ' science, the transfer of the Augusta Bridge I from the city of Augusta to his clients, Messrs. I Jones & Kennedy. 'I'lie great point which lie labors to establish is, that the bridge belonged to the State. Now let i us ask whetier it would be right to give the r bridge to Jones and Kennedy, even if it could be proved that it belonged to the State ? Suppose C the State to have erected this bridge, and built c it with the public money on the public land- V would it be right or proper to give it a way for private purposes? for the purpose of enriching a favored individual with a large income from an investment of money taken out of the treasury ? The State built a road once. It would have I sounded monstrous to propose to give that road c as a reward for the merit of ani influential mem- c ber, and allow him to take toll for private gain and profit at the expense of the commutity. Why not buy a plantation for the popular favo- I rite ? It would not make any difference in r rinciple whether the money was employed in c building hin a bridge or buying him a farm. The answer will, probably. be thi the State < paid nothing for the Bridge; and " light come light go," treasure that cost nothing needs not be economi-ed. But the Bridge did cost the people of Augusta t something. They lought and paid for it from shore to shore. Even by the partial statement of Mr. Carroll, this is admitted, for he does not 1 inore the purchase- under the sale wade by the . 5. Court. Lie knows too, that Shultz and McKitne were-Pvithtwiceirthe ? p t, ahd ~rco~rd jdgnent, (f the Courts of the United States and the Court of Equity of this State, I three times pronoinced on solemn arguments. Conceding then, for the sake of argmitient, the I great noint contetntied by Alessrs. Jones and Kennedy, the ease staids thusi: The city of Augusta have held the property 20 years and upwards, by purchase and claim of title; but there is in that title a 1la:w, by reason of which the State of Sout h-Carolina has the legal right. And on the strength of that flaw in the title (of the city of A ugusta. the State of South Caroli na. anthorises Jones and Kennedy to eject them from half their property, and make the most of it for their own benetit. Is it any wonder that the city of Augusta finds something offini,ive in setting up a claim against long. peaceable aid recognized possession? and aonetlhinLt worse in proceedling to change the I possiion ithout a trial? The anger felt in I Georgia is the natnral expression of indignation I agahint high handed justice-:t species of inter- I Ference with the right of possession, which in F higher circles is called spoliation ; but among the common people, robbery. On' their own showing, therefore, the grant of 1 the Augusta Bridge to .Jones & Kennedy. is a betavaul of the public interest at the shrine of private gain, so far as we, the constituency of the gentlemen, who passed the act, concerned ; and so far as the State of Georgia is concerned, it is the assertion of an offensive claim in the tost insolent manner. -The value of that flaw, which it is supposed that Messrs Jotnes & Ken nedy have discovered in the title of the city of Augusta, wilt be discussed hereafter. NO MEMBER. THE AUGUSTA 'RTIGE, N. 2. This is the passage of Chtancellor H APEVR' decree on which the advocates of the late Lee islation rely: " Then as to ainy right of17 copllaianttts in the Bridge itself it would be sutlicient to sauy that all the complainant SHULTZ's right aind interest therein had passed away by the expiration of his Charter. The franchise or exclusive privilege which constittu ted it his property, no longer exists, and the ma terial structure is attached to and part of the soil, atid would be the property of the States, the owners of that soil, if the franchise had not been renewed to atnother." Before we examine the weight of this author ity it is proper to observe, that it is not a sen tence or judgment, but an observation made by the Chanucellor, iiot called for by thie question before him. For aniy one who will read his opinion will see, that before making this remark, he had already exposed the f~dlacy of SHULTZ's claim, by showing that lie was barred, first, by the decree of the Supreme Court: N'econdly by his Power of A ttorney to Frrzsiuimoss mid ALER : and thirdly, by his own releause. The supertlous obijection abotit the ownership of the soil was therefore thrown in by the Chan ellor as a passing remark upoti a point not ar ged, and not essential to the case before him. This should be said in justice to that groat Judge: and it is further to be remarked that his idea of the effr'et arising from the owniership of the soil is quite inconsistent with the supposi tion that, the State claimed under FaIR, or that the terms of Judge EARLE's deed had any thing to do with the question.. By the Eniglish law, no rivers are ~isidered navigable above tide water; but sues distime tion is not applicable to this conti:wnt, antd to rivera like the blisi5sipi. The Chi::necellor wa's therefore warrented in holding the Navannah to be a navigable river it, Augusta, anid applying to it, the law laid down itn respect to rivers of that class. One of the rules of that law is that: the proprietors of the soil on either bank, do not own to the middle of the atream, but to low-water mark only. And another rule is, that the bed of the, natvigable river belongs to the State, like the ports, havens atnd arms of the sea, within facies terra. These propositions are freely admitted, but the inference which the Chanellor draws from them. viz: that whatever is biilt in the bed- of a navigable river becomes the property of the State, confounds things that are totally different, and is essentially orrone It will not be doubted that the same rule ... c sv ..n. .. to . tzts hvna4 arms o besea, obtains in regard to navigaie " "ers here is for them all, as regards the authority 6f. he State and rights of individuals, one law he right of property; the ownership is- i the Itate as an attribute of-sovereignty. .Forthis * ause the State has power and authority to re 2ove all impediments that obstruct- the free tpe nd navigation of such Rivers. And subject to his restraining power, every man has a right tQ se the water and the bed of4he river for any twful purpose, not inconsistent with the rights f the riparian proprietor. No one can suppose ltat a bridge is an unlawful thing any more ban a boat. The bridge and the boat are equa.: ? legitimate modes of enjoying that usufrct rhich all citizens are entitled to have in the ublie waters of the State. That use which is made of a River by means of the bridge cannot e enjoyed by any but the riparian proprietors,, ecause the banks of the River belong to them... Int to build a bridge is to exercise a common igh t, provided no impediment is- thrown in the ray of the public authority, and-no trespass is ommitted on private property. In the exercise of a common right, no one can e lawfully disturbed; but no disturbance can.. e more flagrant than.to turn'one out of th6 ossession of that which he has constructed for imself. These considerations show that the owner. hip of the soil as an attribute of sovereignty is o ground to argue from, when the rights of in ividuals in the public waters are concerned. 'hore is no analogy between the building on rivate property and.building in the sea. The roperty of a private man in hand is exclusive, vhoever builds on that land acts in direct oppo ition to the owner's rights. But he that builds i an arm of the sea, or a navigable river, does othing in derogation of the Sovereign's rights. )n the contrary he employs himself in strict onfortity with tle will of the Sovereign whose wnership of the public waters is for the com ion use of all-not merely for all citizens to se for boating, and sailing and fishing, but. for. Il lawful -purposes connected with the publio relfare. Nio notion of any such analogy would xist if weefleet on the state of society where roperty in land is upknown. Among - the an ient Germans, as among the-Indian tribes, the woers i of the land was in the Sovereign, un er the a conditions which noumapply to his ,wnership of the sea, The land belonged to lie State colleotive1j- fo.r the use of all; but the ight which theman had .o -his house was ex lu-ive. It ivas' built on the public soil, but it was his pivate property. The idea, therefore,. i f arguing from.analogy, between property ves ed in an individual for his private use, and pro icrig belonging to the State, as an attribute of sovereignt'y, prodeeds from confounding things hat are totally distine'A' The notion that the pridge belongs to. the: ;tate, as owner of the soil, rests entirely:oo the >iles by which the bridge is supported; and. hose who maintain the right, of the $tau inust'2 ilirm it.ybaterifls ill I ------- hr,:. ny such assumptioi, and the position is shown o be false by numberless instances. First with regard to arms of the sea, ports and tvens. No man will deny that the harbor of t2iarleston belongs to the State, and no man is o ignorantt as ntot to know that every wharf in ie city is built in the harbor far below low-wa er mark. There is no statute or ordinance giv ng the right to build wharves. They were >uilt of coninion right, in the exercise of the un oubted privilege which every riparian proprie or enjoyed of ipin)roving his property, by using he fa-ilities afforded by the sea and its branch e. The right may be regulated, but it does tot owe its existence to the ordinances that reg dlate it; nor does any one suppose that the 5.te or city can take away a man's wharf be ause it is built in the harbor. If it interferes vith the free navigation of the port, it may be bated is a purpresture; but such a foul idea as hat of taking away one man's wharf to give it o another, never received the sanction of a ound mind. The wharves recently built into the harbor by hat enterprising citizen, 0. B. HILLIARD, attest lie continned exercise of the right, na well as ts benefteial influence on the public welfare. But the existence of the right which every itizen h's to the usufruct of public waters, in ~luding the right to build and erect structures herein for lawful purposes, is equally shown in he navigable rivers as in the ports and harbors. Mills arp frequent in the tide-water, erected by reat eneroachmentts on the rivers; and to seize Smill built in the river, on the ground that it was attached to the soil, would be scouted, even f it were free front the odious feature of a tri ute to pi-vate influence. Even fish traps are protected, which on the river Banne, in Ireland, vere the signal for a frerce contention in the ime of Sra .Jois DAVIS, to whose report it mightt be useful for some people to refer, for the ist inction between Royal fish and other fish. Thus we see that the attempt of the Legisle. ttre to interfere with the property of the city of Augusta in this bridge, is as unconstitutional as any other act of spoliation would be,and in di ret violation of Magna Charta. The few peo pe that have been deceived in this respect, have been misled by confounding the bridge with an exclusive privilege or monopoly of toil. On this distinction, whicht can be made apparent to the meanest capacity, a few words will sufies. NO MEMBER. AN INDIAN MAssAcE.-A telegraph despatob from St. Louis announces the receipt of intel ligence from Fort Laramie of a melancholy cha rater. It seems that a Sioux Indian stole an ox from an emigrant. The chief of the tribe offered to deliver the offender to the commander of the fort; and accordingly Lieuf, Grattan, Sergeant Favor, Corporal McNal ty, and~ twenty privates, accompanied by an interpreter, set out or the (amp of the Sioux, where thte entire4 ,arty were massacred. It was reported that the :hief of the Sioux wvas also killed. No other xrticulars of this terrible deed of blood are re eived. Reinforcements have been despatched ;o the fort.
