Smith had a curiosity to find out what the Sons did, and Shey employed Mrs. Smith's cousin to propose their names for membership Mrs. Curtis then goes on to say "We were proposed and elected, and Joe came down into the store where we were and old us, so we hurried through with the dressing, and went up to the ante-chamber and sat down nil in a row. We hadn't sat there long bi fore two men came out to us, from the inside room, all inutiled up in gowns, and having a kind of tin hats on their heads which covered their faces. They asked us for five dollars each and Joe handed over the money for us and himself, as we had ven him nearly our amounts, and promised lnm the rest soon.

Then there came two more men like the other two, who formed us into a line, (they call it a single file) and told us to walk right along. They had swords, and one of them walked before Joe, who was in front, while the other walked behind me.

So I got through all the manoevres, previous to that coat business, pretty. But wken the conductor said, Can you swim, I said "Yes!" "Can you swim in fourteen feet of water?" I said "Yes! th deeper the better!" "Well, take off your coat and try yourself!" Now, when he said "take off your coat," that scared me, because 1 had put on a loose sack on purpose, for reasons you will sec yourself. However, I thought a moment, and then said, "No, sir, never heed the coat, I can swim as well with as without it!" "Very well," said the conductor, "your peril will be upon your head. Now, hold up your right hand, sir, take this life preserver, he gave me a push, and I went over backward, and as soon as I alighted I went up again, down and up in the same way, un il I thought all my brains were flying out of the top of my head, and then everything swain round and round until I did not kuow anything at all, for I had fainted. The next place I found myself was in the ante-chamber, or rather, just being led into the ante-chamber by two men, and I was first conscious that 1 must have been sitting in a bath tub with my clothes on.

I think that the cool air brought me to my senses. The two men looked very scared and sorry. I looked about for Mrs. Smith and Job, but they had gone as soon as they had heard the noise in initiating me. I asked one of the men if Mr.

Curtis was in the The man said he was. I said I would like to see him a minute. The man went into the lodge room, and presently out came my beautiful husband, all mufiled up.

In the State of Tennessee there is a cortain village boasting of a tavern, three stores I and four groceries, where, from morning till night, and from night till dawn, a person entering tho town may find in the tavern, Stores and groceries aforesaid, one or more groups of persons playing cards.

Gambling there is reduced to a history four kings is thoroughly studied, and from tho school-boy to the grey headed veteran, from the miss in her teens to the mother of a large family, they are initiated into the mysteries of high low, jack, game, right and left honors and the odd trick. One of the best players in the village Was Major Smith, the tavern-keeper or, as he expressed it, the proprietor hotel widower, who like Judge in Israel, Ilad a daughter passing fair." Fanny, the daughter, was one of the prettiest girls in Tennessee, and, therefore, one of the prettiest in the world for we here di- f'ennessec i ess in order to lay down as ipse dixit, that women, in point of beauty, are matchless. The sweetheart of Fanny was a young farmer, residing in the neighborhood, whoui we shall designate by the name Of Bob. It happened that one day before harvest, the young man was detained in the village, and found him as usual at the hotel, seated between the Major and his daughter. After a desultory conversation between the two gentlemen, on the state of the weather, the prospects of the approaching haivest, and important staples of conversation, the Major asked Robert how his wheat crop pi omiscd to yield.

In reply he was told that the young farmer expected to make at least i One hundred bushels. The Major appeared to study for a moment, then abruptly proposed a game of olcl sledge, or, "seven up," the stakes to be his daughter Fanny against the crop of wheat. This, of course, the young man indignantly refused, because he could not bear the idhi that the hand of her he loved should be made the subject of a bet, or, that he should win In due time they were married, and ever after that when anything occurred of a pleasing nature to the happy couple, they would express their emphatic approbation of it by the phrase, "Good as wheat." Ola Hume! To accommodate a certain taste at the north, such correspondence as follows is regularly furnished to order for the use of sensation Republican papers. The idea here conveyed, is, that a father was conveying a beautiful, blue-eyed, ladylike, well-formed, sweet, fair-haired, clear complexioned daughter to market, for sale as a victim to lust, and that the purchaser was a friend! None but a libeller of Southern manhood would write such stuff, and none but a fool would believe it but such stories goths rounds, and papers as respectable as the steady old Chicago Journal want political success so much that they give currency to anything charging brutality upon citizens of the Southern States. correspondent of the Chicago Journal, Democrat, a wife by bling for her and, perhaps, because he knew the old man was "hard to beat," and there was a strong probability of his losing both wheat and wife.

It was not until the Major, with his usual had sworn that unless he won her he should never have her, that the young man was forced reluctantly to consent to play. The table was placed, the candles lit, the cards produced, and the players took their seats, with Miss Fanny between them, to watch the progress of the game. The cards were regularly shuffled and cut, and it fell to the Major's lot to deal. The first hand was played, and Robert made gift to Ms opponent's high low, game. Robert then dealt, the Major begged it was given, and the Ma jor again made three to his opponent's one.

"Six to two," said Miss Fanny, with a sigh. The Major as he dealt the cards, winked knowingly, and said: "I'm good for the wheat, Master Bob." The old inan turned up a was a spade. Fanny glanced at her father's heart sank he held the three, eight spot, and king! She then looked at Robert's hand, and lo! he had the ace, queen deuce and jack or knave. She whispered to Robert to did so. "Take it," said the Major.

Robert led his deuce, which the Major took with his three spot, and followed by playing (lie king. Robert put his queen upon it. T.ie Major, supposing it was the young man's last trump, leaned over the table, and tapping his last trick with his finger, said: "That's good as "Is it?" asked Robert, as he displayed to the astonished Major the ace and jack, yet in his hands. "High, low, jack, gift and game, shouted Robert. "Out!" ejaculated Fanny.

"Good as wheat," added Rotart. as he flung his arm around her neck and kissed her. writing from Cincinnati, relates the following incident: On the cars the other day, we noticed a beautiful of the finest forms, and sweetest lady-like countenances we have seen for many a our attention.

Mrs. the St. Cloud (Minn.) has a chapter on dancing. Hear how she talks: "It is worthy of that those churches and people who most strenuously oppose dancing, have always encouraged nnd practiced it under other names. Like the temperance man who would not drink cider, but had no objection to a glass of apple juice, our opponents of dancing have their children taught the art under the nameof "Calisthenics," and practice it when it is called "Plays." For it is a remarkable fact, that those old time favorites of religious communities, 'Dear Sister 'Ring round 'All a marching to 'The White While, without these refining and elevating additions it is evil on evil, and that continually.

There is no escaping this conclusion, for the anti-dancing churchcs and christians are too openly committed in favor of these vulgar plays for an intelligent man to deny, that either they have acted blindly or that the kissing and hugging sanctifies the dancing. Now, since all the experience of the past proves that people will The Newburgh Daily 1 Prairie 4u Ohm f- u- dance, even grave and reverend deacons, we are in favor of the dancing without the etceteras. But apart from all comparisons, we regard dancing as a positive good, as something which requires no apology, but is inherently right in itself an efficient means of perfecting, refining and cultivating the crowning work of God's creation a means appointed and directly approved by the Creator himself! It is liable to abuse, and the object of reformers should be to regulate, not abolish it. From Denver. JOHN R.

The difference between the religious dance and the profane dance is, that in the former, man in the room is compelled, on pain of breach of etiquette, to kiss every woman in the room and vice versa, that it is quite in order for married women to sit down on the knees of young gentlemen, put their arms around their necks, bring two pair of lips together with a smack, and do any amount of hugging. While, in a profane dance, even those of most doubtftil propriety, the greatest familiarity between persons of opposite sexes is a gentleman placing one hand on a lady's waist while she rests one hand on his shoulder and holds his disengaged hand in the The churches, therefore, who set up rules against dancing, arc all fairly and squarely committed to the doctrine that promiscuous dancing is all right, and pious and innocent, provided it is accompanied by promiscuous kissing, with a suitable amount of hugging and general rough and tumble. after degrading themselves to the level of! keen a large amount of gold taken out du the hog.

179. Letter from thefiold Mines. GOLDEN CITY, Jan. 4th, 1860. Mr.

John ff. The holidays have visited us in our frontier home, and brought with them a goodly share of enjoyment in the shape of dancing, theatres, and tables furnished with luxuries that would compare favorably with those of the older settled States or cities of the East. But they are passed and gone, and we are launched forth upon a new year, and I will commence it by writing you a short sketch of the prospects and improvements of this country for the past year. Golden City, my present winter quarters, is located on the valley at the foot of the on either side of the beautiful stream, Clear Creek it is one of the most delightful town or city cites in the West, and is the center point to all the principal gold diggings yet discovered in this vicinity bding at the mouth of the canon that leads to the Gregory-Russells Gulch, Nevada Gulch, Gold Hill and Patch Mining Districts, and the only point to arrive at them with loaded teams. The Fort St.

Vrains, Golden City Colorado Toll Road Company have located and laid out a road, have graded over the worst part of the mountains, at the present time, and will have it completed by the spring emigration through to Blue River, a bttrtich of the Colorado, so that any ordinary team can draw twenty hundred. This road leaves the Platte River at Fort St. Vrains, sixty-five miles in a north-easterly course from this placc, and passes over a level plain well supplied with wood and water, through the village of Arapaho, situate four miles east of Golden City. Immediately on leaving this point it raises the first range of motrntafas, passes in a south-westerly direction, then follows the at Bergen's Ranche and Spanish Diggings, on Clear Creek, 30 miles back in the follows the Lodge Pole Trail to the South Park, to the Tarry-All Mines, thence over the divide to the Blue River Diggings. Ft.

St. Vrains is on the main Platte route, sixty-five miles north-east from Denver, and the emigrants from all points on the Missouri River, and from the Eastern and a portion of the Southern States, must pass over this route to arrive at the mines and by leaving the old route at St. Vrains the traveler will save twenty-five miles. This new road leaves Denver and Auraria fifteen miles to the south they arc situate fifteen miles southby-cast of this place, on the plains at the junction of Cherry Creek with the Platte, fifteen miles from the mountains, and are The flourishing village of Boulder is situated twenty-five miles north of Golden City, on the stream of the same name, as it emerges i from the mountains some twelve miles north of the village are the Boulder Mines. The mines of this country arc yet in their infancy they have been but poorly prospected and that very limited, for the reason that the emigrants who came through last 1 spring were poorly supplied with machinery and implements for quartz mining, and wi hout funds and provisions but there has A A ring the past six months, and some have made good fortunes, but nothing to what will be taken out the coming season.

In the Gregory Diggings there are several Golden City contains 150 dwellings, 6 variety stores, 6 hotels, 2 blacksmith shops, 1 cabinet shop, 2 butcher shops, 1 bowling saloon, 2 saw-mills, 1 shingle machine, 1 district school, 1 billiard saloon, whisky saloons without number, 5 lawyers, 4 doctors 1 jeweler's shops and a good supply of carpenters. I am satisfied with this country, and expcct to make some money this year. The winter, up to the present, has been the most pleasant I ever saw. Nothing more at present Yours, GEO. S.

Tbeodore Parker on Washington. This gentleman delivered, in Boston, a lecture on Washington, which is rather difttie reverend gentleman's notions: "He (Washington) had great power of wrath. Inheriting the high, quick temper of his mother, in youth he was "sudden and quick in quarrel in middle life his wrath was tremendous, sometimes getting vent in words, sometimes in blows. He never overcame this. Jefferson tells us of one occasion on which the President was much inflamed, and got into one of those fits of passion, and called a certain man a do not think he mis-called him) said, 'By I had rather be in my grave than in my present Hamilton, who worshipped him in public, and led liiui, behind the scenes, complains that in the latter years of the Revolutionary War, his temper greatly offended the officers.

"You had no business to take me from my if you didn't like to hear me talk: there were other men as good as you who said there was I music in my voice," and, AS usual, the wife had the last word. amm Communicated for the Our Indian Wars and ifeftMif AtrotlMt' One can hardly read a paper from tho frontier States but he will find some mention of depredations, murders and affraya, In which all the the the atroefOtis, murderous deeds, are dorfe by Indians.

Families Women and children flee through the path less forest, of skulk ifi the grass-covered plain horses, cattle and other stock arc driven off cafcins are burnt and stragglers shot. It really carries one back to the primeval times wfien our forefathers and foremothers too, braved the hidden dangers of the lurking savages to find a home for progeny. The papers and the variousofficers are not backward in imploring (fcfc aid and intervention of Government for protection, and we, the readers of these transactions, wonder why these poor settlers are left to the destruction of toeans and the cruelties of ruthless savages. Perhaps, however, we only hear and read one side of the stories, The wrongs, the' insults, the butcheries and the atrocities which the Indians suffer, seldom or never arc published they are conveniently forgotten, or hushed up altogether. A little reflection on the cowed condition of the hemmed in as they are aS sides' by the powerful whites, would preclude the idea of aggressions by them, except by desperate necessity, or the innate desire for revenge.

The frontier settlements arc generally made by men who, dissatisfied or disappointed where they first ture out beyond towns and cities, Kncf Stater almost, to make their competence they are generally restless and reckless, their rule of conduct being to consider only what to the gratification of their desires and the increase of their means. In every cofttacf the Indian must succumb or be punished woe to the whole tribe if one of their number, stung by insult, dares to resist and revenge an aggression, and then the papers are filled with accounts horrid IndSttV murders. These few thoughts were suggested by reading the account of the Pitt River War, in the Alta California, written by Mr. Geo. Lount, a resident of the Pitt flivef district in California.

Mr. Lount moved into the district in taking with him his stock of cattle (about 300 head). He found the Indians peaceable and friendly, and with his companions remained till fall. During this time the were joined by other stockowners, until there were nearly 3,000 head of cattle grazing in the valley. The menlived in brushwood tents, the Indians going in and coming out freely and on the moat friendly terms.

No instance was known of their running off the contrary, if any cattle were mired, or got into holesdug by the Indians for deer, the fact was instantly made known, and the Indians cheerfully assisted in extricating them the Indians were eminently peaceable, and associated with the whites without fear. This tribe consisted of some six or seven hundred they were numerically strong enough to have killed, at a blow, the whole of the ten or twelve men who were scattered over the five or six miles of country. Matters continued thus until Lieutenant' Bailey with a scouting party passed through the country, who, seeing a squad of one Indian and several squaws, fired upon The Indian escaped, but the squaws were captured they were released after a long parley, by the earnest entreaties of thestockmen. Soon after, a company of twenty-two Rangers, under a Lieut. Langley, arrived.

This company surrounded the Indian camp, and after a night of carousing and drinking, commenced the day by a vol. ley upon the unsuspecting Indians. The scene which ensued is unequalled for fiendish cruelty. The greater part of the Indians fied from the danger, but the squawsand papooses were brains blowed out or skulls split with tomahawks. Little children and babes in baskets smashed and cut open.

Mothers and infantsshared a common fate. The screams and? cries of the victims were frightful, but pit-eous supplications availed not with the devils. Whole families were butchered decrepit squaws, young gfrfo and infants, none were spared. Some of these wretched creatures had lived with tho very men who struck them down, and haci other claims than common humanity mercy, but it availed them nothing. One of the butchers, named Lee, had been attended while sick, very sick, by the Indian women, who had shown him all the kindnesses of rude charity and Recognizing the man, they raised their hands and cried out "Lee! Lee!" but in vain he was the most infuriate of the party, boasted of the skulls he had split openr showing his tomahawk hacked and broken in the dreadful work.

This is no sensation story, but a simple record of fact, detailed by a respectable of known truthfulness. Fearful facts they arc, and one almost shudders in recording them yet this iniquitous deed goes unpunished. Unpunished? Why, a bill is nowr before the Legislature of California for paying this and other parties of like nature sum of $70,000, for their services It who escaped becamc warlike.
