[EXTTRACT FROM WARDEN'S LIFE OF CHASE.] i "Thirty five'years ago, over all that la now Ohio, thera stretched one rast wildernesB, unbroken, except by the small spots of civilized culture, the one at Marietta, aifd the other at Cincinnati. At these little openings, hardly eacb Vpin's point upon the map, the' arm of the frontiersman had leveled the forest and let in the sun.'" "These are the words of Dan iel Werster in h!s first speech on 'Foot's resolution.' .. They usher in a splendid description of the wonderful transforma. lion of the, territory' that 'now constitutes the Stale of Ohio, from- a- wildernesa in- which dwelt savage .men andVatage beasts, inio- a' rnagnificeni abode ot civilization, opulence, taste, and power. . It is a brvathidt, inlage of what- has been., ' The description was molded upon facia and took their exact shape.- Lo'y nnd grand though it be, it can not be grander or loftier thin. I he scene it pictures. Thirty.flve years ago, our city was, as lie said it was, a little opening in the midst of a vast unbroken - forest? And what1 la it now? Let us look around us. Let us walk around Cincinnati and lake note ot what we see. First, there is the great landing sloping down from Front street to the water's edge, a declivity of between sixty and seveuty feet irS-per-pendicularelevHiion.Aiid reach ing along the river mi're than two squares. The noblestream is up now, and a partol this immense work is hidden Iron tiew. .Yet enough is visible lo show that it would be a diffi cult matter to Gik a structure like it anywhere. If the rise of, water hides the landing, it allows the steamboats, lor the usfl ot which I he landing was made. There they are, of a stately structure, fitting the river on whose bo3om ihey rush along, and (he mighty ler ritory whoce productions they carry to a distant market. As if Providence had designed this spot lor their use, the river, generally, careering on with a rapid current, here sweeps round an eddy, and thus forms a natural harbor, as it were, (or them. They are discharging and receiving their cargoes to-morrow almost every one of litem will be gone and their places will be filled with oth. ers. As we proceed eastward, coming up into the city a little, our ears are greeted with the sound of buty occupation, and our eyes with the sight ol nu merous lactones.- There ar the steam mill, and the cotton laciories, and the saw mill fac tories, and the engine laciories, and others that we have not room to enumerate. Herein the principal source of the wealth and prosperity of our city. Jl it labor that gives vaU ve t) everything. 'The raw ma terial is worthless till it is wrought What purpose serves the iron in the earth? ' What good does the cotton ere it be gathered? Labor must be ap plied belore value can be crea ted. Ever since the decree went forh, 'in the aweat of thv face shall thou eat bread, little has been the worth of the earth's spontaneous produc tions, and so will it be ever. Wnrre the sweat of the face is, there will be bread; and where the laborious population je there will be the prosperous city and the flourishing empire, We do not mean to assert that all our vigorous growth and early maturity is due to me ohanid labor alone. Commerce has X. Share, and..qhter .cajjses lays had their share of itnfla- suit. We ouly intend to say that the Vinacbanio was the principal, not the sole agent of the prosperity of the city. ' We Dass on 'eastward until we coma to ; the water works, and then climb up the hill that lies just down. upon the river, until we attain, a commanding position, for a panoramic view oi the valley. Tjie first thought that strikes us is that this spot must have been marked out for a high destiny in the councils of heaven. That wide amphi theater must have been' scoop ed out on purpose to be the eat. of a ..great city, bo all sides it is gutrded by the ever lasting hills, which seem, from this point, to be arrayed around the whole valley in the form" of an elli'pse.nWe erifT'uTMU Riviere': entering it from' the north-easUrlt sweeps, around in a beautiful curve, and we see It again Jar oft, and seeming like a zneiof silver, binding nature's verdant appareling, gliding awav tranquilly toward (he mighty Missis ippi. ' From '.he north and the south several small streams are seen pouring in their cAnty.,tribute. J The canal comes in from the north, aud is covered with boats. We clohe our eyes for a moment and listen. We hear from ths river, the roaring ol the steam; from the canal, the notes ot the bugle; and from the entire city, that contused noise ot the rat tling of wheels, arid the jar ol machiiies, and the 'clamor of voicea, which always indioate the presence of a multitudin ous populatiou. We open our eyes again, and we almost irn ayme we see the city grow. We do not see all the symp toms of vigorous growth. There are lactones, more than we saw in the valley, and in every part ol the city. There are many churches, boine ot them grand in their proportions, audsplen did in their architecture There are the residences of some of our private citizens that show like palaces. There are. ex tending streets and multiplying erections ot every description, on the twoleveU that, with l lie connecting declivity between them, form the area of this vast amphitheater. There are the markets, nol quite so neat fab rics as they might be, but filled to overflowing w,nb the abund ance of the surrounding coun try, and "crowded by the great multitude! who live lb eat, or eat to live. There, too," is not alas! that we must say so a city hall worthy of the great ness and opulence of our city. "Having now cast a general and rapid glance over the scene belore, us, we descend the hill, and we meet with men not as yet in the. prune of life, who tell us -that wheli they were boys hey used to gather grapes, and hunt squirrels and wild turkeys, over the very Spot where those thick-crowding ed ifices now stand. ,' "This is a faithful outline of Cinciunati as she now is. We intended, when we began, to sketch in the same brief way, her history, and cbaracter.'and prospects; to speak somewhat ot the inducements held out to emigrants, and to say , what classes ol men would, probably, find advantage iu coining here, but we have no room to do all this now. ' Perhaps we may re stime the subject in our next or some iulure number. ' In the meantime, we may observe that we do not expect to edify our city Iriends with a descrip tion ot what they see every day, but to gratify the natural curl psityypf those who, 7liyijjg at some . distance; ,. from ' os, have frequently expressed a wish to know something Jw)re7 a" bout PiuciqnaU than they '; could learn irom geographies."

' " ' '' i , Previous to 1783, therA were very tew, and those of such in ferior order as to prejudice lar mars against them as rjnfltto compete withhorses" in 'work" upn. M foiprilitriilt CConi sequently there were no jacks, and no disposition to increase the stock; but Washington be-, catrio convinced 4haithe Intro duction of ; mqles generally among the Southern planters would 'prove theal ac great, blessing, as they were less Iia able late injured thin-torse by careless servants. A .oonaa jt. bfeanse knQwn that the illustrious Washington desired" to. stuck ifs) Mount Vernon estate with mules, the King of Spain sent 'him a jack and two jeotists from the Royal Stables, and LalayeU sent an other jack and,, two jeoneta from the Island 0 Ajata.v . The first was a'gray color, 16 hands high, heavily" made, and of;sluggish nature.-, -lie. was named4 the' Royaf 'Gilt.' The othet was called the, Knight ol Malta; he was about as hijh lithe, fiery, even to lerocity. , , The two different sets ot am tJiah gave him the most favora ble opportunities ot -making improvements by cross-breed-iug, the result ot which was the favorite jack, Compound, be cause he partook of the best point in both the original. The general bred his blooded mares lo these jacks, even tak ing those Irom bis laruily coach tor that purpose, and produced such ,uju1s: that the country was all agog to ' bfeedlome ot the sort, aud they soon became quite common. This' was the origin ol i.nproved mules In the United Siates. There are now some of the third and fourth generation of Knight of Malta and Royal Gilt to be found in Virginia, and the groat beneJts arising from iheir introduction to the country are to t'e.seen upon every cultivated acre in the Southern States.. Horrible Indian Crime. Omaha, , August 22. A shocking murder accompanied by torture was perpetrated in a lonley spot in Coltax county, this state, on Sunday. A num ber of Indians, supposed to be Pawnees, camped' near a homesteader's cabin, aud two squaws went in search of food. Tney carhe to the house when the man fas absent and t went through it, in spite of the wile's remonstrances. Finally they-, attempted "to Hike away the family provisions, to wKlrih' the wile objected. The two squaws beat her over ths head. Juki, -then the husbind came in, and seeing his ' wifo wounct ed, tooK his gun and shot 'one of the' rquaws. The Other squaW'Tanto the Jndiao camp a id reported what hnd beeu done.T, Twelve of the Indians' then .entered the house, cap lured the, homesteader, Bkin ned him, cut his bauds' off 'and bis Veart out. - This was' done in the presence 0f his, wife. A large party ol pureorers has lelt West Point lu search of the Indians, but it is almost certain that they will , not fiud them. ' Whin a Tennessee husband will '-'horsewhip -his wife1 'for washing potatoes in his Sunday plug-hat, it is time to, inquire whether this geneiation of mpn) isit't Vftettlng ?M loo confounded high toned for the age of the .oointry? -A' imaLL Milwaukee'1 boy thinks It absurd to, ask ; fiity dollars for a thrashing machine, when' his mother .only - pays tq 4oHars; pafotKppew Saving and Having. Either a man must be con tent with poverty all bis life, or elsejbe willing to deny him' self some luxuries, and, save to lay the base of independ nee in the luiure. But if a man defies the future,, and spends alt he earns (whether Ills earnings' be one 'pound or ten pounds every week) let him look for lean and hungry want at some future time, for lor it will sufely come no mat ter what he 'thinks.' ' To save is '.absolutely the only way! to get a solid fortune; there is no other mode on earth.' Those who shut their eyes and ' ears to these plain facts will be for ever poor; aud for their obsti oate rejVctions 'of the truth, mayhap will' die in rags' and filth.' 1 Let thbm so die and thank themselves, JJut.. nol They take a sliort, recompense in crushing; fortune. Great waste in breath! They ' might as well curse the eternal hills ' For I , can tell them : fortune does not give away her real and enbbtaatial goods. She sella then . to the highest bid der, to the hardest, ' wisest workf r for. ;the J boonl , !Men never make so fatal a mistake as when they' think they aire mere creatures ot fate; 'tis the sheerest folly In the world. Every man, may make ot mar bis liley which ever ' way he mayi choose. 'Fortune is for those who by diligence, hon esty, frugality, place them selves in a position to grasp hold of fortune when it ap pears in view. The best evi deuce ol diligence is the souud of the hammer at five o'clock in the morning. The best evi. dence ol IrugalityVisj 'the "five hundred pounds or more stand-, ing ia your name ai the sav ings bank.. The best evidence of. honesty are both diligence and frugality. ' . . '. How to Succeed. your seat is too hard to sit upon, stand up. If a rock rises up tnyourpalb, roll it away, or climb over it. If you want money earn it. If you wish for confidence, prove yourself worthy of it. Il takes longer to skin an elephant than1 a mouse, but the skin is worth something, Do not be content with doing what another has done surpass it. Deserve suc cess and it will come. The boy was not born a man. ! The " . - : t , , i , sun does not rise like a rocket, or go dowu like a , bullet fired from a gun; slowly and sureiy it 'makes its rounds, and never tires. It is as, easy to be a leader as a wheel horse. If , e the job be long, the pay will, be greater. II the task be hard the more competent you must be lo'-tio it. ' When the late General Thorn as, U. 6. A., was asked for a futlough by a backwoods sol dier, in order 'hat be might visit his wife,'(o'wboru he bad been married but three' months, he replied: "Why, my dear ellow. I havn't seen my wile lor three years." The back woodsman stared increduously at the General for a moment, and then broke out, "But you see me and my wife an'tlhat kind."
