Kit Carsot.
This celebrated mountaineer and
trapper 3et lives on the Missouri
River, nigh the town of Arrow Rock ;

I. say* the last tight place lie got
into was 'i'the )'car 1846, during the
Mexi'in wa'r. The Mexican's were
cUmmiitting de'edations (if all kiuds,
and had st6len home 'f onr 0 ove'nient
horses and thules. Uhpt. Price-af
terwards Gen. Sterling liric was in
command of a company of IJuited
States: \'olunteers, who were ever
Yeady for a scout or a fght. He was
'6rdered to thke a detail of twelve of
his beat men anud send them in search
of the stolen propef'ty. Twelve

shout from the twelve brave men bid
him weleome ; thei' obecot stated and
requesting him to tuke command.
Nothing suited Carson better th&a
this.
Ile told Capt. Prite that lie could
follow a cold trail as fast any living
man could, aid to gke himself no

twelve men back and not lose it

The old chief, %o61 knowing the man

Carson then told him to orde'r u$i M.

with.
Carson then mounted the old chie-C

found things as represented by Car

but had lost the trail, which had
otised the delay. Capt. Price gave
the chief many presents, and escorted
him to his tribe. Ie ever afterwardi
was a true friend to the whites, nues
in ntany inhstances did very valuable
service.
Thus by the coolness, cunning arid
downright bravery of Bub Carson t.hi.
devoted band of twelve brave imena
were resuued from certain death.
Parties right here were with Carson
at that tito and can vouch for the
truth of the above statement.

How the South Is to be Delivered.
In recent di.aeussions of the is8ues
of 1872 we have int iiaAted tha't 'tie
we't 'presaideutial coutes:, would lie
one lor the deliverance of the South,
and that such deliveranoe, if achieved
lt ail, would have to comao from the
Denoeacy of the North. The south..

and pa'triotisin are illuatrated on every
page of the nvtional history ; and it
is not surprising that a people on

eminent and honorable part, in a great
national con oversy, should be relue

sy of 1872. But it is in precisely
ttis way that the South can do itClf
the greatest service and render its
lrteudi, th0 greatest aid. The south
ern states are 'bot fre' b they have not
possesaion of their full powers - their
.lction is fettered ' and even their
.1ounsels are \var ed by a' hiflamed

the terrible lessous of six years have
taught them that their belple.s out
cries fur relicf only provoke fresh
measures of oppression. For them
to deliver themselves has, again and
again, be6n p'ol/e'd 'to be an impossi.
bllity. Their indiguant remonstran.
ces ive hot listened to ; and the local
outbr'caks which their wrongs excite
are sure to provoke aggravations of
those wrongs. The ruliug party does
at the Suuth whdt it would not dare to
do at the North. In fact, it assum'6s td
do anything it wi4hes to in the south
ern states, ai.d thus far its usurpa.
tious have sarcely elicited a remon
strance froin the country.
The South then must rely upon
the Democracy of the North to fight
its battle, and to secure its deliver
anee. The northeru states are still
compaiatively free, though they
clearly disoein that the dread shadow
which envelopes the South is steadily
moving north vard. The struggle for
the deliverance of the South is at the
same time a struggle for the mainte
inanee of thc:r own freedom, anld a
colnsciouHUse of .th fact will, if it
can, lend fervor to the efforts of the
