iwnl. There an: many well-known laws of
matter, wh'n h have the appearance of bein-j di
vinely provided for the belief t of man. Thus,
by a very peculiar law, contra: v. as it were, to
a general law, the rivers and fountains in our
climate are pri.vei.ie l from freezing to any very
great dej-.'.-i. The effect of heat upon bodies is
to expand, and cold to contract them. If this
Saw was constant in its operations, iu respect
to water, ice would commence to form at the
bottom of lakes, rivers, and brooks, then they
would rnpi'.ly frecr.e upwards and destroy every
living thinr therein. This is provi led against
hy a peculiar law. The water of our rivers,
and hikes, above 10 degrees Fahr. when expos
ed to a greater degree of cold, co.ls rapidly t
it-; surface, w hich surface wafer is condensed
and sinks. This process of surface cooling and
'Sinking goes eni rapidly until the whole water
has been cooled 40, which is S degrees above
fee'.ia pv.nl. Below this temperature the
chilled surface of the water, instead of con
densing into less bulk, actually expands (be
comes lighter) and. remains at the. surface, and
the cold is thus very imperfectly propagated
downwards. The surface in tluj end freezes,
and the ice may thicken, but at the depth of a
few feet bchnv tlie tetnper.Uure is not under 40
which is indeed high when compared with that
which we frequently experience iu our atmos
phere during winter. If water, in cooling lie
low 40, obeyed the same law which it does in
cooling to that point, our rivers, streams, and
lakes, would become masses of ice, upon which
our warm summers would make' but little im
pression, and the cheerful climate which we
now enjoy would be less comfortable than the
frozen regions of the' poles. Upon such deli
cate and beautiful adjustments do the order mid
harmony of tho Universe depend. Scientific

Horrible Cruellies to Mrs. Vilson, icliilca
Capt ice among Vie Indians. We have already
announced the escape and return of Mrs. Jane
Wilson, of Texas, to Santa Fe, who had been
ta.en captive by the tamanchc Indians, and
subjected to the most extraordinary cruelties.
The affair has very justly excited the greatest
. ,. . . ' J . . . j
mdignat.on in 'Now Mexico aguinat tue Ia-
dians.
From Mrs. Wilson's narrative, it appears
that she is but 17 years of age. About a year
a 'o she was married to a young farmer in 'tVx-
i as, and in April they joined a party of fifty two
I emigrants, bound lm- California. They were
attacked by Indians and the party was compel
led to return to Texas; but Mr. and Mrs. Wil
son remained at El Paso, where their horses
being stolen, they were co npelled also to give
up the plan of going to California and set out j partial and unprejudiced yielded their judg

Mr Wilson and his fttjier ii.-il into the hands of man reasoning, h'u oipjntn's were facd to
Indians and were murdered. Mrs. W. returned confess, in secret, that he was a marvel fcf iatel
to El Paso, and again in September started for j lectual power and accoinplUhincuts.

of PhaiAoiti Hill, an American military post,
they were attacked by Camanches, w hile some
of their men were oil in pursuit of some of their
horses tiuit had been stolen. A Mexican, who
was with yirs. Wilson, was brutally murdered
and sca'ped before her eyes, and she and her
two brothers-in-law, lacs of 12 and 1 0 years,
te seised, bcand, n-td - cairicd - cSV ivi.h toe
entire property of the party.
The Indians,with their captives, proceeded in
a Northwest direction, each being appropriated
as the property of one or other of the chiefs.
lhey were stripped ot neariy all their clothing.
and otherwise brutally treated. Mrs Wilson,
although expecting soon to become a mother,
was subjected to every conceivable cruelty nud
indignity; beaten and bruised; exposed to fati
gues of all ki ds; her llesh lacerated by lariats
and in whips, or by the loads of wood she was
obliged to carry on her bare back; compelled to
the W'ork of men; or punished for her ability by
being stoned knocked down and trampled on;
almost entirely deprived of food aud all this
lasted for twenty-five days. At this time, she
was sent in advance in the morning as usual,
when she determined to attempt an escape,
which she succeeded in accomplishing by se
creting herself iu some bushes till the Indians
had passed.
Fur twelve cays she wandered through this
Indian country sudsisting iipou berries, when
she fortunately fell in with some New Mexican
traders, who furnished her with some men's
clothing and a blanket. In consequence of
their meeting with a Camanche, they had to
leave her behind, np.'l 'sl.e narrowly escaped
a second cnpUijv, But, by the siou."'!'! aid
of one of the traders, a Pueblo Iud.an, she wa3
enabled, after hiding herself for eight days, to
escape. At the expiration of this time she was
rescued by the traders, furnished with a horse,
and brought to the town of Pecos, New Mexico,
w here Major v'arleton and others, of the army,
took care of her and enabled her to proceed to
Santa Fe.
This is but an outline of a terrible story, the
counterpart of which, in all except the escape,
are said to be frequent. A letter from Santa
Fe says that the white captives among the
Catneauches are as numerous as the Indians
theu.seb cs. The same letter mentions tho es-j
capeofa vu.r Mexican wpmau who returns, !
i tor :i i':ir tiM-iMi o ca itiviiv. exneetmi' to
iivny,
beeome the mother of an infant whose father is
a wild Indian. The CamaiTchcs practice cruci
fy in its utmost refiir.cinent towards their cap
tives. Children are trained to be more savage
than they arc themselves, and women lire sub
ject to outrages too horrible to be mentioned.
The Saute Fe Gazette says: "The two broth
ers ed'Mrs. Wilson are yet in captivity, and un
less soon reclaimed, will imbibe a taste for the
wild life of the Indian, and be forever lost.
There are many hundreds, and we may venture
to say, thousands of captives among tue Indians
of New Mexico, principally women and chil
dren; the former are forced to become slaves
of the men, and the latter are trained for warri
ors." ..
When Gov. Merritweher c:mc out, he was
fortunate enough to rescue two Mexican "iris
from near Cainanehes erne sixteen and the
other e ighteen years of age. They had ieen
captured from near Chihuahua, one three "years
and the other ten months before. Thoy were
to the Gov.rnor of that State, who acknowl
edged the conduct of the Governor of New Mexi
co iu very handsome terms. They said there
were a large number of Mexican women in cap
tivity, and they saw one American women,
with a small child; that an Indian one day,
when thoy were traveling on horseback, took
the child from its mother, threw it up into the
air, and as it came down caught it on his spear,

In fancy, like Kip Van V7iuitl we'll sleep
For a gcas'ju, iheu at the world take a poop.

Let us take up a paper and see if we then
Can gain by its reading an iusight si 4-icar

'Horrible accident (no one to blirao.')
On the air-line road. The r.ew lightning train.

"Captain Ja'.:e Swift has a steaniboit fur sale,"
"Shirts made by Paul Jones; call without fail."

In old Faneuit H ill, upon the bcyt way
For governing cities, China annexing.
Abolishing slavery, and like things perplexing."

A glance at tho firesides and then we hrtre dono,
For so dismal n plr.ee we are tempted to shun.
A forlorn-looking man in a roekin-j chair dozes
A half-Caished letter the secret discloses.
"Dear Joe. having mended lay little boy's stocking

capital of only four hundred dollars which he j
had carefully husbanded again?', a "rainy day."
On arriving at bis place of destination, he wise
ly purchased for himself, a snug little farm,
which he stocked as much as it could boar not
with wheat, corn, sheep or cattle, but with peach
trees. His neighbors, no doubt, thought him
sides. But this year.his immense peach orch

profit of $30,000.

' as strange and more than ordinary men. Ao
i experience of souse fifteen years with the craft,
has od'ered inmimenible opportunities to find
. : ; .
them out, and study in a measure their "natu
ral history." Printers are, to a greater extent
than any other class of prffaxu.ucl men, mi
gratory. The printing office, of itself, being a
jiterary Institute,few can abide or labor long in
it without getting somewhat enlightened upon
the historical, scientific and general intelligence
of the day, and about as soon as thu appren
tice gets into his freedom suit, or his head
cramed with knowledge of the craft, his ambi
tion tends to go out into the "wide, wide world,"
and see the works of art and nature he has
read, and enabled others to read about. Few
seem bent on. setting down to make a fortune,
and the expense of profes.siot.al fit out being a
mere song, cr rather n piece of Iras. rule,
w hich serves as a sort of cabalistic aitn to tbd
brotherhood scattered over creation, a clean
dickey, light heart, and equally hefted pocket
bogk. the printer rocs on his way of exrdora-
tion and adventure. Posted tip in "price cur
rents, he can talk business with the merchant
or planter; versed in general statistics of the
nation, he can hold Lis own with your country
politician, and for w-hmn, if he takes a notion,
he can set down in a fluurisiiig settlement, start
a paper, rcpenish his purs and wnrdrobr, write
and set up patriotic leaders and irresistible puffs,
w hich sends his patron to Congress or the Leg
islature. He has long been accustomed to "tat
tle' "squibs,'' "poetic gems," 'ihe ladies de
partment," &e. and proves quite at home in
conversational circles, where he can illuminate
old ladies, the girls and children, equal to a
pedagogue, Hoo l"s works, Baron Munchausen
or Robinson Crusoe.
He can talk horse or honored catt'c, all over
the fields of agriculture. He has had many,
cases in his time to attend to, such as law re
ports, and wonderful curse, and hence is some
thing versed in law and phyic. Having set up
and proved astronomical tables, he knows some
thing, also, about the starry heavens, wafers
and winds. Anil, indeed, not to be too prolir,
the printer, if a thorough ones a man cf science
as well as ait, and backed by his collegiate
education, his views expanded by travel, and
himself made practical by the vie'issitudes of a
miscellaneous and peregrinating life, he is often
a living wonder, aud most always a whole his
tory of human nature under a hat!
In this office there are some twenty printers
engaged look at them! In age3 ranging from
twenty to forty; in size and complexion, from
the ordinary stout (we never knew a fat printer,)
to some that might crawl through a greased
flute; some as white as Circassians, and others
brown or rosy your "Georgia cracker' w
Pennsylvania, publican. Some bearded like'
the Pard, others smooth faced as the Greek
Slave. One has travelled all over the North
American continent, hunted bears in Arkansas,
and the wild horse in the pampas of South
America; another ha3 been out on the broad

a profession printers are much addicted to; for
about half the actors on the American boards
were printers. One we believe, has preached
sermons, and another has lectured to crowded
houses. Another has served in Mexico with
Gen. Scott. A sixth has been stump orator,
member of the Legislature "out West, and

in various parts of the United Suites. One has

fallen, the young of the village got up a grand
sleighing party to a country tavern nt some dis-

in the same sxigh, under the same Uullalo &

"Oh! don't," she exclaimed, ns we came to
the first bridge, catching me by the arm, and
turning her vailed face towards me while her
little eves twinkled through the moon light.
"Don't what?" I asked.'
"Fm not doing any thing." "Wdl, hut I

Mrs. Lambkin.
"Toll!" I rejoined, "what's that?'

On the 10th of March, 1831, at a dinner in
New York city, Mr. Webster; in speaking of
Mr Hamilton-, said: "He was made Secretary
of the Treasurr; and how he fulfilled the duties" of
such a place, At such a time, the whole country
perceived with delight, and the whole world
saw with admiration. He smute the rock of
the national resources, and abundant streams
of revenues gushed forth. lie touched the dead
corpse of the public credit, and it sprung upon'
its feet."
