From the Macoupin (111.) Statesman.
a Distinguished stranger. .
We were visiWd a few day ago by a
man by the name of Joseph Burnoy, who
aayi he is in search of a aon, who, he
supposes, lives somewhere near Alton.
He made his escape on the 10th of last
May from the Flat Head Indians, near
the head of the Flat Hoad river, in Ore
gon. Ho. state that he has boon with
this tribo of Indiana 18 years. We lis
tened for some length of timo to his his
tory, many portions of which are truly
thrilling. . He waa taken prisoner in
1830 on the Upper Missouri riverwhile
In the employ of a Fur Company. Ho
is a native of France and spooks Eng
lish bat -poorly; but wo give who I he
communicated to us as nearly as possi
ble. He Vt&a in company with n man
iy the name of John Robertson, both of
whom wore captured. Ihcy attempted
to defend themsolvs, and killed two In
dians, but the were overpowered; there
being twenty(-nvo Indians to contend
with. They weie securod hand and foot
end placed on ponies, and started to the
north wpstward, and traveled five weeks
when they came to the hunting-ground
of thn tribs:' where thev were civen UD
to the chief, who shook hands with them
pad manifested much j0 of thV; c8p.i
tute. They wow .WZn4 and confined
in a hut, rnera they 'wore fod but not
allowed to escape. The chief oflforod
tbem bis two daughters if they would
marry itnd remain with the tribo. Find
- ng esctpe utterly impossible for the
itime being, the term were accentod,
;and the marriage took place, ine iruits
4( his marriage were two children, both
,of which are stiTt living, a naugnier six
' teen years old, and a aon fourteen, both
f which he left with the tribe. Two
Icara ago Robertson attompted to escnpo
ut waa re-taken, and scalped and buried
alive leaving three children -with the
tribe, tasven years ago Barney attempt
ed to escape but was recaptured, and
would have been nut to death bul for the
interposition of his wife, who was the
flanirhier of the chief. During the timo
of hit captivity? Barney states that he
was aricaeed with his tribrln three bat
tles, two with the Black Feet and one
with a tribe Jha name of which we do
not know, in one of whlfh he says over
seventy Black Feet wpce killed. , -
rTbe most of. . he time of his captivity
Itaa lived at the head of the Columbia
and at times as far no aa the bead
of the Fiat ' Hood river. , Duririg tbeae
eighteen years he saw neither salt, bread,
potatoes, cofleS, tea or anything of the
kiil;' -living npon th meat of moose,
ilaett tknnk, rattleanates, tdrkies, prai-
rie hens, etc . At the time ha made his

nlSht; having his dog along,', which he
killed the next morning, to prevent his
returning to give a duo to his track.f
About eleven o'clock the samocday,
whon about thirty-Cvo miles out, ho was
overhauled by his father-in-law's dog,
which he also killed, and carriod the
carcass away from tho path, and thon
coicoalod himself In the bush; while he
waa, thus concoalod the chief pasiod
him, and as ho passed, tho chief muttorod
to himsolf. in hisjanguago'l will pans
this mountain, and at the foot of it I will
take tho left hand." On hearing this,,
Barney availed himself of tho informa
tion; following tho chief to tho foot of
ilia mountain, he fonnd,-' suro onouzhJ
that ho had taken tho loft hand road,-)
.which ho asoortoino.l by tho tracks of
his pony. ' He continuod his joorncy to
tho cast until about two hours before
day -break on tho next morning, when
he sat down, fatigued and hungry,: after
day-light ho killed a rattlesnake about
eight feet and a half in longth, which
he roastod for his breakfast. v v
Ho kept on in the some direction,
whon about 6 o'clock ho was overhaul
ed by his brother-in-law's dog, which ho
killod immediately and paasod on.' On
lliej next day, about 5 o'clock, ho was
ovcrhnulod by another dog, belonging to
tho tribe, which ho dispatched in tho
saino manner as tho others; after which
ho proceeded without any molestation
traveling four days without during to
build a hro, only in tho day time. Ho
wos'sevon weeks traveling boforo he
came to any tribo of Indians, during
which timo he hnd spont ono week in
despair, not travolfng or expecting ovor
to reach a habitation oi whites. At the
end of that time ho camo to ri tribo
which he calls tho Tomahawks. Ho was
kindly treated by thorn. For foor of bo
ing again taken, lie assured thorn that
ho belonged to the Flat Hoods, and was
in search of two crazy Indians who had
made their cccape.
Artcr asking some questions in J-ng-lish
concerning tho "crazy Indians" ho
donartod, and after nino miles trnvol,
i u - i
camo to tr.o .Missouri river, no maio n
rofl of logs ond crossod . over. Travel
ing due east, ho continued his journey
nine 'weeks, before ho errivod at White
Lake, in Minnesota, during all of which
time he had subsisted upon garao, which
he had killed with his bow. and arrow.
He remained thoro throe doys and sold
fiia accoutrements for clothing, and thon
made his way for this State. IIo arrived
heja to-day.
Barney is a man of considorablo in
telligence, and eocms to have a vivid
recolloction of nearly nil that passed
during h!a raptivity. Ho says that it
is his intention to employ some ono to
write out and publish n minuto account
of the hardships he had to enduro. Ho
seems familiar with Indian J uo, and
gives many of their signs for determin
ing courses, cures for disooses, otc. Ho
would like to see his children again,
but would ralhci forogo the pleasuro
than to go back and remain with tho
tiibc. He was married soon pf:er ho
came to-this country, and lived in Otso
eo countv. N. V.. where bin wife diod;
after which ho was employed by the Fur
Company. He is 0U yonm old: but s'ill
seems activo nnd hardy. lie describes
the country where he has been as being

HORACE GREELEV'S LECTURE
Tho lecture upon "Reforms and Ro
formers' was a typo of 'the intellectual
can of the lecturer. ' Aftor a subdued
tiller through tho audience, drawn forth
by tho eluphantino movcraonts of tho
ungainly Horace, ond a most desperate
and comical attempt ol eloquence, with
ono accord, all bogan, to comprohend
tho idea, tiiat it tne speaker was a bur
lesque upon tho cod-like art of Ouinlil-
lio n, ho was nevertheless tho iniporjo-
nation of inlclicrtunl nobility and ear
nest sincerity. We forgot the eccen
tricities of the groat journalist, and on
ly looked for iho intellectual ingot thai
enricliod his path vay. If wo may not
accor l the sanction of a hearty ajiprov
ol lo oil he ultcrcd, we aro yd unpol
led to admit his sincerity. Nor nro ws
so certain that tho errors wo aro dispos
ed to impulo to him, are not our own.
He is a man that lives in advnnco of his
ago. Wo bonst that wo aro conserva
tives ; bat such enrncst men as Groeley,
pioneering tho race,. eroded the platform
on which wo now slnn.l ; so another
generation may stand upon the heights
whnro lio is now almost solitary nml pro
claim in tarn, that they too ore conser
vatives. .Such men have piloted the
world to its presont position they will
still lead it, till the promised beatitudes,
even in this life, are attained by univer
sal .nan. The stones wo throw at him
lo-dny, (idea borrowed from the lectur
er,) may build tho immortal cenotaph
which futuro generations will admire.
Thcro is certainly nothing moro ridicu
lous ami prepostorously absurd than tho
ideas which somo people onlcrtain in
reference to conservatism.. Tho platform
of to-day must be eternal we aro not
iO look for tho lights which ore held but,
as if fiom. licavin, lo' guide men on to a
promised perfection bul cling, witb
obstinate pertlnaciiv to ni Pi0?-? ?n 'll'J
old stones. For ourselves, wo havo a
Biblo failh in mnn's uU'imilo perfection,
and we shall not ecu so to look for the
lamps which will lijdit the way. Rut
we diverge. Groclcy is a character, orig
inal nnd unchangeaple. ' For any other
man to talk and road as ho docs, would
be a farco to bo hissed-, and scoulcd.
But for him. tho Icwcls of his mind are
so rich and radiant, thct wo "forgive ihe
shabby and prnceloss manner in which

CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR.
Last yoar thcro were consumed in this
country about soven hnndrod and five
millions of pounds of cano sugar, and
twenty-seven millions of pounds of ma
ple sugar. This gives moro than twenty
four pounds of cano sugar and ono pound
of maple sugir to ovory man, woman
and child. This does not include mo
lassos or honey. If this sugar was put
into barrols holding to hundred ponnds,
and each barrel occupied tho space of
of tliroo equaro loot only, it would re
quire 333 aejos of land for it to stand
upon. The barrels, if placed in a row,
would reach TWO hundred and twenty
miles. If this sugar , was put up in paper
packages, of five pounds each, it would
require ono hundred and forty-six mill
ion four hundred thousand sheots of wrap
ping paper; nnd if orly a yard of siring
was used to each package, would bo re
quired four hundre and fifty-nine million
lw hundred thousand feet, or eighty-
io. thousand milos- Ot sV.ZZ P4?K
than throe times enough to go round tho
world. If every retail clerk sold a bun-
drod pounds of sugar each day.it would re
quire nanny twenty ;livo itiousand clerks
to sell it all iii a year. - If the dealers,
wholesale and retail toecathcr, made a
profit of only .two cents a pound on the
sugar; thes profits olono would amount
to nearly fifteen million of dSllars.

. ' Jefferson and Hamilton.
Jackson and Clay...
Or tho two commanding pnrtiosof the
country, Mr. Baldwin has drawn out
tho comparison wilh much vivacity ond
vigor ; and considering whore his licafl
lies, vith.moro justice than could havo
been hoped, from one whoso anient na
turo shines out even in his stylo. That
ho was resolved-to make an impartial
norlraituro of his illustrious countrymen,
both for his own end his country's sake,
is apparent in every line, but the head
and the hand cannot accomplish what
the heart disallows. We" give the par
allels drawn, presenting Hamilton and
Jp.FFERSoir, Clay and Jackson, sido by
sido, to show how the best intentions
and the greatest ability will foil to reach
an honest aim where the feelings falter.
Jefferson ond Hamilton aro thus
delineated as they stood in juxtaposition
in Washington's Cabinet:
"Wasliington proceeded to orffiniso his a
minislralion bj appointing Jefferson lo the
Slate Department, Hamilton to the Tiensury,
Knox to tte War Department, and Edmund
Itondolph as Attorney General. 11 is difficult,
to decide in tho then disturbed and disordered
state of affairs, foreign and domestic, when a
policy was to be fixed, internal and interna
tional, which of tlicso offices waa of the first
importance or required the higher order of abil
ities. We inclino lo think that the Tiensury,
though not the first in dignity, was the first in
difficully; mainly because the principal mo Iters
of foreign relations were dependent for solu
tion on general grounds and considerations,
and were of such potent Interest as invited the
examination and co-operation of the whole
Administration; while the affairs of the Treas
ury, depending upon knowledge of political
economy and of finance, and consisting of au
infinite number of particulars, must necessa
rily nave oeen lert, in a great measure, to tne
head of that Donartment. - -
"To Jefferson must be awarded the high
praise wh ich his celebrated feport on the state
of our foreign relations has ever commanded.
It is one of the ablest State papers ever issncd
from any department or ihe uovernmenij in
deed, his whole correspondence in his depart
ment, while it elicited the warm- approbation
of Washington, throws an enduring luster on
his pen-.
'Hamilton's busy Invention was al work, on
the finances. He found the public credit at its
lowest ebbi the country impoverished) every
interest languishing; the sourcea of revenue
choked up. II i3 fuuding system, making pro

the first. They both held the most prominent
positions before the country. They were both
very ambitious. ' They were both very fond of
having their own way. neither hod ueen ac
customed to a rival, and could little brook one.
There-was but little agreement in political
character; indeed, their political opinions, as
to radical principles, wore nearly antipodal;
and there was bul little congeniality of personal
disposition-. They were euuauy jealous ol tne
favor of Washington; for il was everything at
that timo. Each wos conscious that hnrbjcll
and the other were making, history) and we

. ''Hamilton was, hy fourteen or fifteen years,
the younger; but this -disparity was coiinlerb.il

Jackom Thus passed from the world one- i
of the most remarkable men. who, in all the
generations of mankind, ever made his mark . . ,
upon hi age. It is vain to deny to Jackson a ?.
titlo to greatness. He achieved great things, ' t . .
and won a succession or spienuia wumpo, ;
unequaled in the history of any man, lave one,. ,v. .
of hi generation. He achieved tlifcm, not by '
the Torce of accident, but because of the power 'y -within
him. It is idle lo disouis tha abilittea or t 4
the merits of a man, who, in different,, and : vA
these the highest, departments of human en-.
terprise, succeeds, not in one department or in 4
one measure, but in all departments and in all ,.;
things, throughout a long succession of yearn - :v
and of struggles, against the greatest and most : ;
various opposition. Such successes do not " .
come by chance. Bul if we will not take thle '
general conclusion, let ns look to particulars. ?A
What did he accomplish? He raiaed hinuelf,
in a profession, of all others, the least suited -lV
to his genius, at a time of life, when- men of . ....
real merit era only preparing themselves for . ,
local diatinetion, to the office of Attorney Gen-r ,
eral and of judge: and when the scene Chan'
ged from peace to war, he rose at onee to the '
post of General, and, in a few months, won
the most brilliant sucoesses snd the brightest ,:;
laurels of the war, and placed himself aide by i. -side
with the great captain of the world. He
took his seal in the Senate of the United States. -j .
