nouncing to our readers that one who long
held friendly intercouree with them through
the columns of the SPY, is no more. COLE:
3,1 J. Bum., Esry., recently Editor of this
T.nper, died suddenly at the Washington
llouFe, on Thur,day morning, after a very
short illness. We attempt no eulogy of the
deceased; his friendly relations with all
who knew him, and the universally express
ed regret at his cudden and untimely death,
speak plainly the estimation in which he
is as held among , •t us.
We feel that no expresion of our sym
pathy with his bereaved friends, can soften
the blow of his loss, hut we do not say too
much in assuring them, that the entire tom
.munity feels deeply for them in their afflic
tion.
8:1-The spring rush has at length com
menced; the llivermen are upon us thick as
shod•tlies. The rafts began to pour in on
Wednesday, and have continued since to
throng the river, from the bridge to the
dam. The corners opposite our office fairly
buzz, about "ear time," and the air is mu
sical with "Chcmung," "Tiog," and "Steil
ben." Yoreig,n notes, of a denomination
less than five dollars, prevail as a circula
ting medium; and the pure juice of the
corn suffers. We are always glad to see
our up-river friends; they enliven the town,
beside being rather picturesque oltjeets, in
their red and blue shirts, and (sometimes)
"e.hocking bad hats."
They are still arriving, and to our friends
along front street we would say:
"Ilang out your 'trowsers' on the outer
'awning posts'—the cry is still the 'Yanks!'"
notice in our Lancaster exchanges
an account of the death by drowning of two
sons of Samuel Able, who so lately made a
narrow escape with the same boys, while
attempting to cross the river from this place.
We have taken some trouble to obtain au
thentic information on the subject, but can
only learn that the drowned boys were seen
a day or two after their fearful death, ped
dling fish in our streets. There was a re
port of two boys havingbeen carried through
one of the gaps in the dam, on Monday last,
but we have not been able to corner a sin
gle eye-witness this incident. It is certain,
however, that at the present high stage of
water, and in a high wind, there is some
danger in venturing too fardown the stream.
The current is of such strength as has not
been known here since the building of the
dam; and the boys who have been in the
habit of boating ou the river, should bear
in mind the change.
A canal boat broke her tow line while
crossing the riser on Monday evening, and
sus saved by anchoring sonic distance from
shore, where she was compelled to remain
all night.

Indian Troubles
• Again we hear of fearful outbreaks among
the Indians of oar north-western frontier,
and the massacre, by them, of the more ex
posed settlers. Reports received, represent
the atrocities as unprovoked, and wanton;
but, in the face of the well known cause of
most of the later Indian wars, this may be
fairly doubted. The border savages have
riot, for the lag ten or fifteen years, been
thrown, by the rapid advance of our popu
lation, in contact with civilization and the
strong arm of Government, without learn
ing to fear the chastisement that outrages
upon the lives and property of our citizens,
are sure to bring heavily upon them. They
have been too frequently, of late, harried
by the U. S. dragoons, and picked off by
the rifle of the volunteer ranger, not to avoid,
if possible, hostile contact with the whites.
The old delusion that the white man could
be exterminated, and the unquenchable
thirst for his blood, has been driven into the
wilderness amongst those tribes which have
least felt his power; and uneradicably as
the desire for vengeance and the appetite
for slaughter may be implanted in the In
dian nature, the day of unprovoked hostili
ties by the savages. has gone by. But, with
4 border population considering "Ingen"
fair game, and government officials who
dare not interfere for the protection of the
weak, when the wrong comes from a white
man, and the recipient is one of the outcast
race, can we wonder that the savage passions
are sometimes aroused to fearful acts of re
taliation? that the goaded feeling of rage
drives them to a bloody revenge, and blinds
them to the heavy retribution that will sure
ly follow its indulgence.
We are no sentimental advocate of "10,
the poor Indian!" We see as clearly as the
most progressive, the necessity of peopling
our immense and fertile western plains
with industrious and producing whites; and
that the aborigenes must give way gradually
before our westward march. But, in Heav
en's name, do not let the nation that is in
no degree backward in flaunting its supe
rior intelligence, energy, freedom, and great
ness, in the eyes of the world, exhibit the
pitiful spectacle of a mighty people merci
lessly seizing upon the heritage of a few
scattered, and, apparently, God-forsaken
heathen, and giving them steel and bullet
as their redress.
As our government treats the savage, so
will the turbulent spirits who are necesarily
brought in contact with him on our frontiers.
If the United States officials hold their
places as means of repayment for political
service, their example of secret plunder will
most surely be followed by the open pillage
of the adventurer. Many of the most promi
nent among the U. S. officers, both civil and
military, whose duties bring them in con
' tact with the Indians, actuated by a true
philanthropy as well as the spirit of justice,
treat these unfortunate outcasts humanely,
and strive to ameliorate their, in many in
stances, forlorn condition; but it is a dis
graceful fact that the prevailing spirit
amongst the subaltern officers of our army
is a desire fur the excitement of a "brush
with the red-skins," without reference to
right or wrong. A laudable craving for dis
tinction, drives them to the massacre of a
few Squaws, and into utter forgetfulness
that their mission is to preserve peace upon
our borders rather than to break it lightly.
With such example our western people
are not backward with their acts of aggres
sion. The late Oregon trouble proceeded,
upon the authority of Gen. Wool, from in
juries, wantonly inflicted by the whites, in
the first instance; and the war was carried
on by the people with the expressed deter
mination of exterminating the savages.
With this spirit actuating the reckless
and unruly frontiersmen, we cannot but ac
cept with hesitation, the report that the In
dians are the aggressors in lowa and Min
nesota; and we trust that the origin of this
bloody raid of the Sioux among our western
settlers will be promptly sought out, and
the guilty parties receive signal and severe
punishment; not from the hands of volun
teers, but by the proper United States au
thoriti es,
OUR GROVIS . G POPULATION.—An Irish
family, passing through Columbia in the
emigrant line, one evening last week, bound
westward, suddenly changed plans and
halted at this place, where the mother, in a
very short time, gave birth to a fine child.
They were accommodated in ono of Mr.
Robert W. Hamilton's rooms, opposite the
the Washington House, and their wants
were kindly ministered to by a number of
our citizens, prominent among whom were
two distinguished politicians. 'We do not
believe the report that these gentlemen were
actuated by the prospect of another vote for
their party; we attribute their kindness to
their well known benevolence; besides, the
stranger proved to be of the non-voting sex,
and, although she may eventually become
a "mother in Democracy," unless women
obtain their much-agitated rights, she is
not likely to swell the vote of either party
by her own.
Before the sex of the newcomer was
known, it had been settled in caucus to
name it Hamilton Watt; but, neither of
these prefixes being susceptible of feminine
termination, Columbia, America, and Hi
bernia, are spoken of as substitutes. Mother
and child are doing well.

jpiiir-We have been handed for publica
tion the following extract from a letter, re
ceived by a friend from a, medical gentle
man, well known in our town, who•_ is now
pursuing his studies in Paris with a , view to
perfect, himself in anatomy and snigory:
`Trance has a history as-exalting as the
pages. of a romance; and :that hiitory is
illuitrnted and -embellifihed-by the glorious
monuments that attra7ct ones attention - on
every side. I am not at Paris to write its
history; but, I would like to possess the fa
culty of description to that-extent, that I
could make you participate in my admira
tion of so much that is beautiful.
The carnival closed a few days ago, and
all have relapsed into the even tenor of their
ways. We know but little of the carnival,
and its follies, in our country; but in Ro
man Catholic countries, the masses look for
ward to it with joy, and regret it when it is
passed. The last week was the most exci
ting of the season; women and children
walked the streets in masks and fancy cos
tumes, screaming, and blowing horns before
the eyes of the police, who, in any other
than the carnival season, would soon have
silenced them.
One of the most singular ceremonies I
ever witnessed, is La promenade des kalifs
gras, or, in plain English, the promenade of
the fat cattle. This commenced on Sunday
morning, and lasted three days; during
which time the procession marched through
the principal streets of Paris, stopping to
pay its respects to the Emperor, and other
high functionaries. It was headed by a
large number of military officers, and musi
cians, on horseback. They were dressed in
the gorgeous costume of the sixteenth cen
tury, and presented a Site appearance.—
Then followed two cars, each drawn by four
beautiful horses. In the first car stood the
largest ox: his horns were gilded, and ho
was crowned with wreaths of flowers and
evergreens: honors were heaped upon him;
still his oxship looked very serious. Well
might he indulge in a little sober reflection,
for on Tuesday night his soul and body
were to be separated by a fatal blow of the
axe, and his fat loin divided among the gour
mands of the court. The second car resem
bled the first, but the ox was not so large.
There was still another car, which brought
up the rear of the procession; it was larger
and more gorgeous than the others, but was
loaded with a different sort of stock. It
contained fifteen or twenty women, butch
ers' wives and daughters, in fine apparel.—
Among them was one they called the queen,
who had a crown of flowers on her head.—
She was certainly, not the queen of beauty;
I saw none of that sort of queens in the party.
This ceremony I understand, is peculiar to
Paris, and has existed here hundreds of
* *
I=l
I see the Emperor very often; he comes
out almost every pleasant day, in the after
noon, and walks for an hour in front of the
palace. He is a small man—very far from
fine-looking—dresses plainly, and were a
stranger to meet him in the street, he would
as soon take him for a clergyman as for an
Emperor.
The Empress is frequently to he seen in
her carriage. She is very pretty. The baby
prince, who is now a little more than a year
old, rides out almost every day in his car
riage and four, surrounded by a company
of troops, who ride along with pistols raised
and cocked."
TAVERN LICENSES GRANTED.—The court
on Saturday morning proceeded to hear the
applications for tavern licenses. The fol
lowing were granted for Columbia:
Catharine A. Howard. John List, Corne
lius Tyson, Joseph IL Black, J. J. Gault,
Jemima Brown, Abner S. Bear, Bentz &
Iluffnagle.
Licenses for the following eating houses
were also granted for this place:
Rebecca Eberlein, J. W. Shuman, Joseph
Ulmer.
M.-Intelligence from the West reports a
terrible Indian outbreak in lowa and Min
nesota, and the massacre of the white set
tlers. Seventy persons are reported killed
or captured. We extract the following par
ticulnre:—
On Friday, the 27th ult., at about one
o'clock, P. M., they entered the town, and
first called at the store of Geo. and William
Wood, which they robbed of the goods and
$BOO in gold. Wm. Wood was killed and
Gen. Wood missing; was supposed to have
been burned with the store.
They next called at the house of Josiah
Stewart, and shot him through the bead.—
His wife begged for her life, to which they
replied, "nepo squaw," (kill squaw,) And
shot her also in the head. Her two little
girls wore killed with war clubs. John
Stewart, a little boy, eight years old, hid
himself behind a log, and escaped. Major
Williams has taken him home, and will
bring him up. Ile has now a good protec
tor.
They then proceeded to the house of Mr.
Thomas; several families had here collected
together, and there were some eight or nine
rifles in the house. Umpashota, an old In
dian chief, well known in this neighborhood,
ran past the house, shouting to the inmates,
several of whom, unfortunately, ventured
to the door to see what was the matter,
when about twenty Indians, posted behind
a bar stack, about five rods distant, fired
upon them, killed a son of Mr. Thomas,
aged ten years; •Mr. Thomas was wounded
in the arm, rendering amputation necessary;
David Carver was shot through the arm,
the ball lodging in his side; the wound is
not considered dangerous; and Miss Dry
sella Swiver received a ball in her shoulder,
the hall passing out upon the opposite side.
The doors were instantly shut and barri
caded. Some of the inmates engaged them
selves in moulding balls, others in loading
the rifles, while John Bradshaw and a man
named Markham fired upon the Indians
from without. Their chief and a number of
others wore killed; the exact number is not
known. It was reported by an Indian to a
man named Shigley that nine-were killed
and five wounded. Towards night the In
dians withdrew, carrying their dead and
wounded with them. No white person was
killed after the first fire.
BATTLE BITWISS TBl LCMANS AMII VOL
lINTEERS.—Chicago, April 27.—The latest
intelligence from The scene of the Indian
troubles, in Minnesota, is to the effect that
on the 12th inst. a battle was fought at We
lonwan River, thirty miles above Mankato,
between the Indians and the St. Peter's vol
, unteers, under command of General Dodd.
1 Twelve Indians were killed and several
wounded. The Volunteers did not lose a
man.
ASSIGNMENT OF TH2 LANCASTEM SAVINGS
INSTITUTION:4M Friday last, before Alder
man; Carpenter, Judge S'haetTer, Preiident,
in behalf of the Board of Trustees, Made an
assignment of.all the properties bf the Lan
caster Savingi Institution for the benefit of
the creditors, to Mr. T. L. Roberts. The
Board allege, says the Daily Ezpr . es,s, that
they were compelled to make an assignment
on account of numerous suite which bad
been ents.red against the institution by its
creditors; whom they would otherwise have
been compelled to pay in full, to the preju
dice of other creditors who did - not press
their claims to a suit; and that, had they
not done so, the assets would have been ab
sorbed by one portion of the creditors, while
others would have received nothing.
The liabilities of the Institution arelkearly .
$200,000, and the assets are'estimated at
$lOO,OOO, exclusive of certain coal and other
stocks, from which something may be reali
zed, though that cannot be counted upon
with certainty. The expectation is that suf
ficient will be realized from the assets to
pay the creditors at least fifty per cent. on
their claims.—Examiner.

TUE POISONING AT WASUINGTON.-It IS
now believed that not less than seven hun

son, at Washingtoir; and some .twenty or
thirty deaths have occurred in"consequence.
Among others, the Hon. Robert J. Walker
is not yet entirely recovered from his severe
attack. Senator Hale, of New Hampshire,
has become a thin, lean man under its rav
ages. It is now the opinion of many per
sons that there was a deliberate purpose to
poison Mr. Buchanan; and that the diaboli
cal scoundrel hazarded the lives of thousands
in the attempt.
DF.A.T.II OT A MEMBER OF CONGRESS.--JOllll
G. Montgomery. Esq., Democratic member
of the Thirty-fifth Congress, from the dis
trict composed of the counties of Luzerne,
Columbia, Montour and Wyoming, died on
Friday morning at his residence in Danville
Pa. He is another victim of the insidious
malady contracted at the National Hotel in
Washington, where be lodged at the time
of the Inauguratitn. Mr. Montgomery was
a lawyer of standing, and had served with
credit in the Pennsylvania State Legislature.
air-The latest mews from Central Ameri
ca, represent Walker as hemmed in by an
overwhelming force of Costa Ricans, under
Gen. 'Nora, who is preparing to open fire
upon the plaza at Rivas, where Walker is
entrenched. The htter will doubtless fight
with desperation, but the next news will
probably be of his entire defeat.
EXCITE.RENT AT ST. LOOS ABOUT TIIE
COMET.—The St. Louis papers each contain
articles about the Comet, now visible by
means of the Telescope. One writer treats
the subject seriously, and is surprised that
persons should make light of it.
1. There are astronomical calculations of
the orbit of the coming comet that warrant
the prediction that it will touch the earth—
I made 'em myself.
2. Science can calculate the orbit of this
eccentric co-net, no matter how long its pe
riod, and I predict, unhesitatingly, that the
comet now approaching, will come in con
tact with the Earth on the morning of the
16th of June, about 20 minutes after 10
o'clock, and the point of contact will be in
the vicinity of a place celled Vide Poche; or
Carondelet.
3. The nucleus of this comet is very large,
and composed of the bisulphuretted carbo
nate of the protoxide of manganese. The
tail is chlorine, and although you cannot
sec stars through it, they will probably be
seen by many individuals at the time of the
collision.
4. There is plenty of proof on record that
comets affect the atmosphere. Every thing
can be explained very easily.
Another writer says:
"It is now only about sixty days till the
great event will occur, if the figures are
right. One of the first thoughts of our bank
ers will be, that they must confine them
selves to thirty day paper. But what will
this avail them, if they are all to be swept
away at the end of sixty? Their precautions
will be impotent.
"On the other hand, extraordinary efforts
will be made by the needy to effect n!go
tiations at ninety days. Only this morning,
ono of our hest men endeavored to effect an
accommodation at four months. This latter
is considered a significant fact. Why should
any man want four months' time, if all were
safe?
"The press should give warning, and the
'money article' should treat of this important
matter."
The writer of river news for the Repub.
lican says:
"The River Reporter ought to have some
thing to say about the comet which is now
attracting so much attention, although we
must confess it is rather out of his lino.—
There is no doubt in the minds of astrono
mers that a comet is "approaching the earth
with fearful rapidityr," but there is some
doubt as to whether it will come in direct
collision with this world of ours. Steam
boat collisions are of frequent occurrence,
and are said to be caused by the neglect or
inefficiency of pilots having the boats in
charge. Their effects are often disastrous,
but the collision of the earth with 'a lens
tailed fiery comet,' is quite another affair.
The pilot of the earth is doubtless wide
awake, and of sufficient experience in di
recting the motions of heavenly bodies to
prevent a collision. Both the comet and
the earth are said to be shining bodies, and
have their lights up and everything in trim
for passing as safely as two well directed
boats on the Mississippi."
SED — A witty lawyer jocosely asked, a
boarding house keeper in Recorder Bald
win's court the following question. We
think the reply was good:
—, if a man gives you $250 to keep
for him, and he dies, what would you do?
Would you pray for him?'
'No, air,' replied the man, 'I mould pray
for another like him.'

INS—Mr. Donald McLeod, favorably known
as an author, has assumed the oditorrial
charge of the St. fmtle Leader,
PaceNtx writes to the,,X.Nter.aanocaza from
New Orleans; speaking of the "hops" at the
St. Charles hotel, le says:
"It was at one of these gay re-unioas that

Hear him upon Southern Hospitality:
"I should say there was • a great deal of
hospitality in Now Orleans, which, (with
some notable exceptions,) - appears to be
graduated pretty closely to the number of
bales of cotton annually shipped to that city
by the recipient. Thus it has been sagely
remarked, that a stranger in New Orleans
must give bale, to be .well received, and
hence, when a resident of the city is ob
served to be peculiarly kind and attentive to
a visitor, they are said to 'cotton' to each
other."
