THE IXDIAS 'AT SAKATOCJA;
There is an Indian fenriainpnient just
back of the Congress 'Park.'' where a
'great many. of the poetio race have, ta
ken up their summer quarters, Cor the
slightly ignoble purpose . of mating
money. Their pursuits are stilf thq
same; ever marked with1 the grandeur
or motive . which characterized them
when Fecifrrore'Cooper used to hob nob

think, of jhe''Lasr of the iMohfga.ns,'J
and gaze at the man who 'sells wicker?
basket? with admiration an4 awe. ''Ha
is so brown, so :uly, so immbblej and
sa very dirty. The- "hut of the red
man" i .so , full . 6t: pqetry and . pthe
things. His heart is large, .anfT his
hand free ; as is proved by the many
little articles rwhich- by a singular acci
dent are always found in his possession
after a fire."J- ' ' -4 "y j
The daughter of ' the pale face adi
vances tremblingly, and for the purpose
of . making herself intelligible, to the
red skin, speaks, as unintelligibly as
possible. ". ' ' ' ' (.

'That's vtrf 'Sef .! murmurs the
gentle Shoddia ; "no take any iessle ?

been robbed of--home, of country, ofj
all, and now meanly attempt to jew hint
down on ,the l price, of his wicker bas
kets! .. , , . .... .. .. ,
But the sternest 'nature vill relent:
Still gazing at the almost fabulous
beauty of Shoddia's false curls, a tear
trickles down his widened nose, and in
a broken voice, he utters, .; 'Five and a
haif.ie," "..
Shoddia, who does "not want it a bit,
and only asks the price out of curiosity,
resolves to buy the whole basket. .. Her
whole 6-3UI is in ft enaotic lutuu't Lvi
brain always Js. She extends a ten
dollar .bill. O, heaven! their hands
meet! Does his heart stop beating at
the swb'k contact ! ' 4 '
; 'No, it doesn't If it did it would kill
him. Ay; deader than the -door-beli,
which, never having lived, is now dead
indeed!. He. presses the taper fingers
until he gets the' bill, and then he lets
them drop as if they were something
very disagreeable. !Tis . his duty, for
does not the arrogant white-ski.! forbid
ell intercourse wiih the son of the forest?
Cut what of thai? He has already crib
baged her handkerchief, smelling of
musk, which he will keep as if. sweet
souvenir until he can sell it' for a good
price. "
biuding tbe ten dollars under tbe
folds o",bi$ graceful drapery, a filth 7

cross-bow, and becomes forgetful of the;
presence of. her whom he had ouiy ten
minutes before so madly loved. . ,..

Shod-iTa.- r '."
"VYhat-ie ?": retorts the brave.
"Money ; I gave you ten." . ; .
"Poor Indian fire-water poor . In

mgly. " She heed3 him not.
'Will you give me my change, you
filthy, cheating wretch"you? for Shoddia
has a temper as well as the next one.
But unfortunately, the next one has
more temper, and can shout longer and
louder than sbe . Springing to his feet,
Awfullidh executes an appalling war
dance,' and preceding his remarks by a
war-whoop. yell3 out: : : ' '
"Me no give money me shoot white

Reflecting that it is evening ; that the
encampment is far ofT from the 'abodes
of civilized people"; ."that the only wo
men about are some hideous bags, who
are stewing up a supper for their hus
bands, and look, tending over the fires,
like the witches in Macbeth. Shoddia
makes up her mind to lose her change
and get back to the hotel as quickly as
possible. She never goes to see the
Indians again.
Awfulliah still lives. But when he
dies, his spirit will doubtless take 'flight
to the happy bunting ground of his fath
ers, where, with his' faithful dog by his
side, he will endeavor, either by swap
ping rifles, or other sharp proceedings,
to remain true to his glorious nature.

III7MDLI.G OP THE CIHt';
X,:.. v; .... . ALUK0 1 ;.. ;-. p;rj j
The Norfolk JPast, f noticing ,. the
action, of the Mississippi,, Convention J
makes the following comments:" "
-1' Mississippi was, perhaps,' rnore to)
blame for : this war tbari any other
southern .State .except'; SuthJCarolina.
It was that p.affed up vanity in regard
to the superiority of her people a.3 sol
diers,' which had beenf vid by newspaper
flittery,' that led the Mississippians to
believe that theyvete the bravest peo
ple,1 'not only in Ihe Southtut in -the
.whole world, and that one. regiment of
their rifles commanded by Jeff. Davis,
could conquer the entirja 'Npr,h, which
first prompted the South to rush so fran
tically into -secession. It was the ex
aggerated notions prevailing throughout
the. country, of Mississippi's prowess in
arms, because Jeff. Davis had held his
own against Santa Anua's undisciplined
hordes in the skirmish at Bueoa Vista,
of which 4o much capital was made by
correspondents and the writers of Mex
ican war history, at the. expense of the
regular soldiers of the. army and the
sturdy men of Illinois and Indiana', to
whorA really belonged the credit of the
victoryit was'tEis puffing of southern
valor and chivalry, we sayj which led
the rrn'ost sensible persons to -believe
that' the Missippians and the entire peo
ple of the South were superior to those
of the North as soldiers. The Palmetto
regiment, of South Carolina, which
never participated in anything 1 more
than a skirmish in that war, compared
with what the Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania troops attempted at Fort Wag
ner, were by this same kind of puffery
led to look upon themselves as invinci
ble, atd Consequently : they rushed into
war confident of an easy victory.;..They
lost sight of ihe-factthat the glory of
the Mexican war; was due to our brave
little regular army, of which the North
furnished the entire, fighting material,
and that the ' only southern regiments
which-1 saw ' any active service were
more indebted to the newspapers for
their reputation than for any extraordi
nary display of bravery on the field.
But the Mississippians and South Car
olinians realfy':believed all the flattery
that was lavished upon- them, 'and
thought a victory over the northern die
chanics and "Yankee peddlers" would
be an, easy matter. They would only
have to show themselves to strikp i"'
sJ diemajr iu the souls of their adver
saries, and they could then walk over
the field and gather the rich spoils of
victory... : j ; . . . ;
, How . terribly they were deceived
they have by this time discovered to
their cost, also that bravery and chivalry
are: not the exclusive heritage of any
people or nation, but that . courage is
cosmopolitan, and there are brave men,
as well as cowards, in every clime.
The soldiers of these two States, which
promisee ::so much, have gained fewer
laurels than those of any other State in
the South, in fact we. believe the Vir .
ginians lay claim to all the honors of
the war, as possessing all the bravery
and as having " borne the brunt of the
fight. South Ctrolina and -Mississippi
are humble enoQgh' Sow. They have
passedrthroiigh a terrible- 'ordeal, and
have learned "that pride goethi before
destruction, and a haughjj spirit before
a fall. We shall hear np more of Pal
metto chivalry, arid the invincible rifles
of Mississippi. That great myth; called
prowess-on the battle-field, will not be
held ia such high esteem anywhere,
now that it has been, discovered that
even the negroes can charge into the
very jaws of death. The modest arts
of peace will in future be more earn
estly followed, for their triumphs are
greater than those of war. .Labor will
be more honorable than warlike glory."
Speech of President ; Jolinson.
The following are the main points of
the speech of President Johnson, to the
delegation from the Soutnern States, on
the 11th inst.t ' ' '':"
"Gents : We have" passed through
this rebellion. I say tve7 fofiit was us
who were responsible for-it. Yes, the
South made the issueand I know the
nature of Southern people welt enough
to know that when they have become
convinced of an error, they frankly ac
knowledge it in a direct . manner,
and in the performance of duty, or in
deed any act they undertake to per
form; they do it heartily and frankly,
and now that they come to me I under
stand them as saying "that we made
the issue, we setup the union of States
against the institution.- of slaveryrwe
selected the arbitration of the God of
battles, the argument was the ,sword,
the issue was faitly and honorably met.
Both the questions presented have been
decided against us, and we are .. pre
pared .to accept the issue." . I find on
all sides the spirit of candor and hon
or prevailing. The issue Was ours
and the judgment has been against as,
and the decision having been : made
against us we feel bound in honor to
abide by the arbitrament.
"In doing this we are doing our
selves no dishonor,- and should not feel
humiliated or degraded, but remember
that we are ennobling ourselves by our
actions, and we should feel that .the
Government has treated 'us magnani
mously,, and we must meet the Govern,
ment upon the terms it ha& sb magnani
mously proffered us. So far as am
r-'r Ji. t : '1 .- li- t -a' i
cpneerueu. persoumiy, a am inwueuceu
'by any question, whether it affects the
North or South, East or i West.
-..'I stand where I did of old, battling
for the Constitution and the. Union of
these" United States. In doing so I
know I opposed some of ' you of 11 the
South, when the doctrine of secession
was being urged on the country, 4 and
the declaration of your rjgbt to break
up the Government and .disintegrate
the Union was made. I stand to day,
as I have ever ;:sto6il.ririhly 'in L the
opinion that if . a !maoopoly contends
against, this country, it must go down
and the country must go up. Yes, the
issue was made by the South against
the Government, and the Government
has triumphed, and the South, true to
her ancient instincts of frankness and
manly honor, comes forth and express
es its willingness to abide the result of
the decision in good faith.
While I think that the rebellion has
been arrested and; subdued, and am
happy in the consciousness of a duty
well performed, . .want not only, -you
but the people of the world to know that
while I dreaded and feared disintegra-tion-of
these States', I am equally op
posed to consolidation or- concentration
of power here, under whatever guise
or name they bear, and if the issue is
forced upon us, I shall still endeavor to
pursue the same, efforts to dissuade
from this doctrine of running to ex
tremes, but I say let the same rules .be
applied. As I have before remarked
to you, lam gratified to see so many of
you here today. ' It manifests a spirit I
am pleased to observe. ' I know it has
been said of me that my asperities are
sharp; that I had vindictive feelings to
gratify, and that I should not fail to
avail myself of the ' opportunities ' that
would present1 themselves to gratify
such desp'calle feelings. If my acts
will not speak f zx me and : for them
solves, then any professions I might
now make would be equally useless.
But, gentlemen, if I know myself,' as I
think I do, I knuw that I am - of the
Southern people, and 1 love them and
will do all in my power to restore them
to that' state of happiness and prosperity
which they enjoyed before the madness
of misguided men, in whom they had
reposed their confidence, led them
astray to their own undoing. If there
is anything thai can be done on my
prt, vis 09licvt y lijl.lj'lv.0 vf ilic, Ooa-
stitunori, to promote these ends, be as
sured it shall be done. Let me assure
you, also, that there is no disposition
on the part of the Government to deal
harshly with the , Southern people.
There may be speeches published from
various quarters that may breathe a
different spirit, .Do not let them trou
ble or excite you,, b,ut believe that it is
the great object of, ihe Government to
make the Union of these United States
more complete and perfect than ever
and to maintain it on Constitutional
principles, if possible more firmly than
it has ever before been.

Sometimes our dwarf trees strike, a

sirable dwarf trees should . do. Es
pecially is this so of the dwarf cherry.
The best remedy for this is to carefully
dig the tree;up, and re-set it again im
mediately after. - Indeed, whether they
grow very vigorously or not, most dwarf
trees are improved by a biennial or
triennial transplanting. It is not essen
tial to good success; but is one cf the in
gredients in perfect culture.
Dwarf trees can be set from eight to
ten feet apart, and a great number of
all sorts set in a half acre lot. They

A! OUT-DO0U CELLAR.
It is very unwise to store a large
quantity of vegetables in the. cellar of
a farmhouse, even if it is of sufficient
capacity. In the latter part of the win
ter there, will be some decay, and noth
ing can be more detrimental to health
than living over a mass of decaying
vegetable matter. But few cellars are
large enough to hold the products of
the farm that require winter storage.
As we devote more attention to the
economical feeding of stock, the ne
cessity of good root cellars will be felt
more seriously.. Carrots, , beets, par
snips, cabbage, and the like, require
cellar room. A sandy hillside is the
best place for making- a cellar, as in
this situation good drainage is secured
as well as easy access. A good cellar
however, can be made in any place
where the water will not be wilhin three
or four feet of the surface. Especial
pains must be taken to secure good
drainage. Dig down as far as drain
age . will allow, and throw the earth
back, to be ussd in banking up. If
rough stones are .to be had, they are
best for. the walls ; if not, posts and
planks will, answer. A, strong ridge
pole is necessary, which' must be sup
ported by posts. Bank op the sides
with earth, and plank the roof, and
cover. with straw or leaves, over. which
rough boards, or something of the kind,
must be placed to prevent blowing off.
An easy entrance should be made 'at
the front by digginsfdowrr the earth in
a gradual slope; ani as this part will be
exposed to the weather, it should be
made double; and if of boards, filled
between with straw. Where stone is
used a space for air is sufficient. JHicA

aro tampering with these tribes. The
Commissioners are likely to meet with

'-A Natios or Small Farmers. An in
telligent American - agriculturist writes
fro n abroad concerning the small farms
of Saxony thus: """
'Agriculture is better developed, mdro
science applied, and better results ara
obtained in Saxony than anywhere I have
yet vibited. In Prussia, that is, in Meck
lenburg, Mark-brandenburg, Pomeranla,
Pozen, and the . province of Prussia, the
land is owned in large bodies, the estates
averaging 2,000 morgens, or about 1,400
acres; but in Saxony the "tiller of the
soil" is the owDer of the land, hence the
farms or tracts are small, for the popu
lation is very dense; in fact. Prof. Dr.
Reuning the Minister of Agriculture for
Saxony, told me that, exclusive of for
est, there was just one acre of land for
every individual of the population.
This, one acre, then, must produce tha
food and clothing for the individual, be
sides producing plants for commercial
purposes. If the land was farmed as it
ia in the United Sttttoo, th Saxon mnat
starve: but fortunately for him, he be
lieved that science would assist him in
his agricultural operations, and he will
ingly accepts tha counsesl of science and
put;them into pratice. There ia an agri
cultural academy at Tharand, another
at Chemnitz, an experimental farm at
Pommritz, another at Salzmundo, &c.
These sehools have accomplished a vast
amount of good: have made the farriers
intelligent, and have made agricultural
operations as systemic and intelligible as

A Speedy Trip. Salt lake papers no

worth only eleven months out. The train
started with flour for the troops at Salt
Lake but was harassed by Indians dur

and didn't thaw out until very late. They
ate up the flour and some of the mules,
and arrived among the Saints very much
