For my part, I most earnestly hope
Uncle Sam will carry his new plan into
effect, in spite of the opposition of the
agents, and all the friends they have made
by lending out the old man's hard money,
and paying it Lack in promises. Things
are come to a pretty pass indeed, if an
honest man, possessed of the fine senses,

The Dissected Alive.?An Italian
journal relates an extraordinary incident
connected with the recent death of one
of the Roman Cardinals. In consequence
of extreme grief. Cardinal Sommaglia had
fallen ill. He had a syncope, was believed
to be dead, and his servants hastened
to have the body opened and embalmed
before putrefaction. The surgeon's knife
had penetrated to the lungs, when the
Cardinal's heart was perceived still to
beat. He recovered animntinirnt tl?o mn_
mcnt, and had force enough to repel with
his hand the knife of the surgeon. It
was too late : the wound was mortal.
The Josephs.?It is staled that this
large House is about to commence business
again. All their creditors have withdrawn
their suits, and, as they show a probability
of assets, they are left to manage
their own business, under the advice of
the creditors and their friends. Their
surplus assets are reported to be over hall
a million of dolla^P Their indebtedness
is six and a half millions. To pay this,
they have a liitle over seven millions.
Their assets, more than half, are due from
various individuals in Mobile, New Orleans,
Natchez, and Southern places. It
is therefore, impossible to soy what will
be the final result of their nfTairs, hut the
statement, with the sanction of highly respectable
names given it, is a guaranty
of their integrity and honor.
Suspected Murder.?The city of Chicago,
Illinois, wc learn, was thrown Into
great excitement on the 24th ult. bv the
discovery lliat a young lady hod been seduced
by her brother-in-law, a man named
Jenkins, abortion effected, under which
she perished, and the body carried to
Michigan city, a distance of half a day's
sail, for interment, Suspicion having
beeii excited, the remains were disinterred,
and arsenic found in the stomach.
The physicians who attended her, as well
as her sister, Mrs. Jenkins, left the place,
A legal investigation is proceeding in regard
to the melancholy affair. The parties
have been heretofore *ery respectable
and members of the Methodist church,
Florida War.?If the statement lately
made on the floor of Congress be corrc<
'here is real necessity for the Resolution
of Mr. Wise to inquire into the
measures pursued in conducting the Florida
war.
" Mr. Garland, of La. speaking of tl?p
Florida war, stated in Congress as a fan,
that the Government had paid $7,000 for
forty cords of wood. He also said, for a
single trip of a Steamboat, a price was
paid equal to the whole value of the boat.
Mr. Bond said that, in one instance- i? nri.
vate individual, pretending to be a Captain
or a company consisting of five hundred
volunteers, drew $20,000; and that
$80,000 had been paid at the mere request
of the Committee of Ways and
Means.
Anecdote.?The late Dr. West having
married a very tall lady, whose name
wps Experience, was asked his opinion of
matrimony ; to which, he replied, that
by long Experience he found it a very
comfortable thing.
Ax easy way to acquire good manners
and Education?The Drdham Patriot
says, 44 Every man that pays his subscription
promptly in advance is 44 a gentleman
and a scholar."
Severe Justice.?Printlati, the late
cashier to the Copenhagen Theatre, huff
been convicted of defrauding the establishment
of $70,000. The sentence is,
loss of hon trand his right hand, and hard
laoor in a fortress till the money be restored
or the criminal die.

Natural Soda Fountain.?The Rev.
Mr. Spalding, Missionary to the Indians
west of the Rocky Mountains, in the
couursc of his travels has discovered a
natural soda fountain, which yields large
quantities of sparkling water, fully equul
to the artificial.
Border Troubles.?A slip from St.
Louis Bulletin of Oct. 6th contains the
following from the Jeflersonian, published
at the Capital of Missouri :
** \Vc have understood that there is some
probability of difficulties with the Os;n?es.
on the frontier of the State. Information
has been received that the Indians are

We have also understood that the militia

in force sufficient to repel any

j SKETCHES OF THE FAll WEST.
I MR Cat linf whose fame as a painter is
generally known, but whose travels and
i researches among the Indian tribes in the
i Far-far-West, have given hun a still higher
title to distinction, is now engaged in
delivering a series of*Lectures .in New
York, in which he is said t? exhibit sketch* es
vividly and graphically delineated, ofj
the,scenes through which he passed in hts|!
wiltl |?eregiiiaiions, nnd of the manners, 1
habits and characteristics of the various
tribes of nenmev, with whom he sojourn- 1
cd?which are occasionally illustrated
, by his own pencil* by imitation^ of notion
ami the exhibition of specimens of dress,
armour, &.c., in his own person. We 1
enn well conceive the ca*>cr curiosity and 1
lively interest which such u species of en*
' tertainment must excite, from the follow- 1
i ing description of one of these lectures 1
| in the New York Evening Htar, iq which j
the plan of Mr. C's Lectures is explained
more at large:
Mr. Catlin's Second Lecture.? J
This ns we anticipated fro in the warm and
untinitnout* applause Mr. C. received the
previous evening, was, maugre, the powerful
attractions of a theatric character that
now rightly obs-M'b the attention ol nearly
all our population much more attended
than the first. Mr. (>. took up the history
of that hitherto but little known, and
powerful and warlike tribe the Caminancites,
who hold undisputed empire over
the vast and remote prairie regions of the
wast. The intense interest excited in re
lation to tins people hy the expositions of
Generals Leavenworth and Dodge, and
the travels ol Washington Irving and L?'
trohe, &c. was heightened hy the more
detailed inoidents and anecdotes obtained
' hy the indefiligable atnl enthusiastic Calliu,
during his residence among them, graphically
enforced, us is was, hy the spirited
pictures which he exhibited of these
i warriors in equestrian groupes and skir,
miq^es, and in their hunt of the buffalo.?
The proud Cumanche on his war-horse,
so gorgeously equipped and so dexterious
lv managed, and the more than oriental
splendor of his eagle*plumed helmet and
accoutrements of spear, shie.hl, and how,
formed a sublime and picturesque subject
tor Mr C's. able pencil.
The extreme length of spe.ir, (snrr.o of
1 them which Mr I\ showed b**ing over 14
feet) the astonishing and unerring precision
with which the rider plunges it into
his v clim; whether it he his enemy or the
wild and shaggy buffalo, and the still more
incredible supleness with which the warrim,
while at full speed, throws himselt
like the most expert circus rider, nearly
under the bo? y of his horse, to escape the
shaft of hi* pursuer, were admirably and
| forcibly delineated in the vivid sketch#**
' presented, and in the personal illustrations
of Mr. C. himself, hahiied in the very
costume and weapons which his pencil had
so faithiully portrayed. These native lancees
of the prairies must indeed be an extraordinary
people. The landscape of
the evergret n prairies, now a boundless
sea of rrhltin, now undulating the gentle
mounds of the same beautiful tint* and
studded with countless heads of buffalo,
or grotiprs ??f Comanche warriors: ^ave
us for the first time an exurt conception of
those wonderful regions peculiar to our
country.
The dying buffalo wounded and setting
>?n his hunches, the fire yet unextinguished
in his ferocious eye, while the red blood
pjtired in crimson strtams from his mouth,
up to the last death struggle, when be falls
prostrate, and in a moment nft?>r nr>v..i I
'more quivers n liiub or mu-clcT-(an extraordin
try peculiarity in this animal)?is
a picture winch will not easily be forgotten.
It w is in such pictures that Mr. C.
sometimes itnr< duces himself on horseback,
catching with his p? ticil the last ag.
otiies of this chef d'ofuvre, as he deems
i it, of alldiatli scenes lie lias ever witnessed.
Tl e manner also in \vh ch some of
the poorer tribes who have t o horses,
el ?the themselves in the skins of the huge
white prairie wolf, the constant attendant
on the huiTulo, in order to dectiie the latter
and and approach near enough to throw
the fatal arrow, formed also the subject of
another animated and unique picture.
These wolves are familiar attendants and
companions of the buffalo herds, and feed
on their dead.
But the most remarkable exhibition Mr.
C. gave, was that of the Great Medicine
(or physician) habited in'the skin of the
yellow hear, an aniaial of great rarity,
/and therefore much prized. His large
1 rattle, resembling a tBinlnuirino nml Me
javelin and iiinimicrable medicine bag
hanging about him, consisting of the
claws and feathers of various birds, and
the skins and feet and bones of various
small quadrupeds, as the white weasel (the
ermine,) the beaver, &c. constitute a most
grote que picture, which was. again more
strikingly exemplified when Mr. Cfs. at-,
tenlion suddenly appeared before the au-1
dience invested in all the paraphernalia of
this costume complete, and imi'nling the!
tnovriiie t of the bear and process of con
juration. jt
The effect of it?is was start).ng. Then
Dog F cast, or honor pair! by the Maudlins !
on tlie Yellow Stone to Mr. Catlin, is nn-j<
other extraordinary scene. Also the i
Dunce of the Chief*. The description of i
the young exquisites or dandies of the 1
Mandans, lounging in the villages en gaily
caparisoned horses, and fastidiously
toiletted in gaudy costumes of white embroidered
goat or deer sRins, with fans
and fly brushes hanging to their arms, hut
no honon-d memorials of sralpdocke to
their legging, wo> highly n ?vel and enter- taining.
These dandies arc, as elsewhere,
m
utterly despite*! by the braves, and Mr. CJ. |
dared not rake their poriiaits, but be I
brought their huMimctits with him. The
black Feet, the pcxt powertul tribe, neighbors
to the Sioux and counting 30.000 po- I
pulatioi), were also particularly described.
