To be had at the Stores and at the Door. S. D. Sibbet, Eq , plocutionist. has completed his coarse of instruction in el ocution to a large class or our young folks: and we arc pleased to learn that all who attended the whole course are highly gratified with their progress. Ilis plan of instruction is simple and comprehensive, and calculated to impart clearly and systematically the fundamcn tnl principles of that important but much neglected sciuicc. Sir.- S., previous to taking the class, favored us with a few Shaks'pcarc readings, which gave very general satisfaction to his audiences, and indicated a pretty thorough knowledge of his profrcssion. His readings were in deed excellent, one prove clearly the great necessity of a more thorough "en eral instruction ia this important branch of education. The province of elocution is to teach how to deliver a written or extemporane ous composition with force, propriety and case. How often have we all been pain ed to hear even our professional men read, or attempt to read, compositions of high order, but would do it, in such a bungling and improper manner that their beauty would be nearly if not en tirely lost. If we cannot imbibe or comprehend fully the spirit of a production, it is an utter impossibility to properly read it; and if it is uot properly rendered its beauty is lost. How to do this elocutiou proposed to teach, and :hould therefore be more thoroughly undcrttood by ali Fcekers after the beautiful and useful.--To be a good reader ia indeed a Gne, but exceedingly rare accomplishment. Mr. S. is doing a good work and has our wish es for abundance of success. JSS.We are in receipt of the January number of the Atlantic Montldy which is as u-ual, filled with excellent matter. Tho principal articles it contains are, Olympus, Asgard, Juniata, "LeftBohiud,' is a very excellent poem. Coffee and Tea, should be read by all who use these beverages. Men of the Sea, Obiaadeo, The Illustrious Obscure, "The New Life of Dante," the great Italian poet, is well worthy of a careful perusal. "At Sea, Bulls and Bears, The Professor at the Breakfast Table. "The Minister's Woo- ing," is a new and popular story by Mrs Harriet Bccchcr Stowe, which should be perused by all. There are many other articlea of equal merit whioli time and pace will not permit us to notice. The Atlantic Monthly was established b little over a year ago, and by its ster ling merit has become one of the first lit erary magazines of tho country. All who wish to keep posted in literary matters hould certainly obtain a copy of the At lantio Monthly.

The minutes of tho last meeting were read, when tho committee appointed to draft Constitution and By-Laws, for the government of the society, reported, through their charman. Col. C. Burnet. that they were unable to report at this time. The committee, appointed to inquire into the .suitability of location, and re port upon tho securing of lands, through their chairman, reported that a num- bcr ot persons had onercd lands, sta ting terms, &c. On motion, it was Resolved, That the committee of three be increased to nine; and they be em powered to receive propositions for Fair Grouuds; such Fair Grounds to be with in three miles of Stroudsburg.

The Four Indian States. From the New-Orleans Picayune. The progress of civilization in sovcral of the Indian tribes occupying Territo ries west of the States will soon bring up a new question for the decision of Con gress. What shall be done with tho In dian Governments or States that are now fully organized! Are they to be finally admitted inio the Union? Is a new re moval at some future time to be made of the tribes civilized and Chri.-tianized to make room for the Caucassian wave roll ing West? Or are foreign governments to grow up in tho very heart of the ter ritory of the United States? The Chcrokces organized a regular government' as early as 1839, copying tho peculiar features of the Constitution of the United States. The forms of legialatioit and the arrangement of the courts of jus tice eo nearly resemble those of the States that, but for the tawny skins a- rnnnd him flir trivplpr into Ohprnl'f?' territory would scarcely find any indica- tion of having passed its boundaries. This tribe has improved in all the arts of civilization, to such a degree that ma ny of its principal men would graco the refined society of any nation. In re spect for the law, regard for popular ed ucation aud public morality, aud the a doptiou of all the elegances and advan tages of civilization, the Chcrokces have taken a positiou which forbids interfer ence with their rights to tho territory they occupy, to suit the conveniences or obviate the anomaly which the existence of their state now presents. The Chootaws formed their Govern ment, taking the institutions of tho Uni ted States for their model, in 1834. Im itating their more progressive white neighbors, last year they revised their Constitution, and adopted even 'the mo.-.t miuute forms of government and the names of the olSccrs which prevail in each of the States of our Confederacy. The Chickasaws, lately separated from tho Choctaws, have also followed the ex ample of the two tribes mentioned, and thus tho third government tions identical with borders of the South cupying territory ceded eo them by Geucrul Government. The Greeks are taking steps to create the fourth independent organization of a State form of Government, and will soon present an example, of the influence of civilization in subverting the customs and traditions of the race indigenous to the continent. Those Indian States are a strange an omaly. They are not a part of the Uni on, nor are they known in law to exist. Tho white man canuot pass through their territory without a pormit, nor can he take with him, when he is allowed to en ter the Indian domain, certain articlos of merchandise, even though the packages are unbroken and are simply de-igncd for the New-Mexican market. The singular tate of things cannot exist for many Over-bear.s wUhont forcinS itsclf uPn the at- tenlion of Congress. The tide of population is steadily roll ing Weht. In less than ten years it will beat against the barriers now thrown un i Caucassian raccpresses upon them as inde- pendent governments. I he people, civilized aDd attached to the soil they have im proved, cannot be removed to remoter IIU' - , uwi.

Whereupon he was arrest- ed and taken before Jus-tice Drury, where he was examined and searched. Three pistols, loaded to tho muzzle, were found upon him, for which he was fined; but, on sa)ing that he had not a cent in the world he was sent to tho workhouso, where Mr. Queen subjected him to further search.- tin l iTtiiit t . wnen, 10 ana ueuoid : no turned to be a walking treasury of coins, ancient and modern.

Below we print the bill granting pen sions to soldiers in tho late war with Great Britain, and to other parties there in mentioned, which passed the House of Representatives, on the 22d ult., by the strong vote of Yeas 122, Nays (1. A majority of both the Administration and Opposition parties in the House voted for this measure; but inasmuch as it will draw nearly two millions of dollars from the Treasury per annum, and as the bill moreover may be regarded as making the pension system the permanent policy of the country a policy always consid- cred of very doubtful propriety in a llc- publican government wo understand that many members will interest them- selves to procuro its rejection by the U. S. Senate. It is doubtful whether they will be successful in this sini.-ter move ment. It is au "old dodge" for the llou-o to pass a popular measure, and then -leave to the Senate the thankless duty of defeating it. But this game may oe piayea once too oucu. uur own o pinion is that the Senate will pass the bill, aud thus, if defeated at all, it must be done by the Veto of the President. The vote of the N. J. Members on the passage of tho bill was as follows: Ayes Messrs. Adrian, Clawsou, Huyler and Robins; Nay, Mr. Wortendyke. The bill reads as tollows : I ft - m - ojscjtion l.

The readers of the Tribune a re not gen erally aware of the extent to which tobac co is raised in this "Land of Steady Ha bits." Our neighbors of the South will not be prepared to believe the facts that! are frequently stated by the farmers, when, they meet in public places. Indeed, the interest of that crop is, at this time tho season of stripping, selling and packing paramount to all others. Perhaps there, is no place in New-England so adapted to the growth of the "weed'' as this beau tiful valley, between Hartford and Sprint field. In good soil, the crop will average from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds. Ihavcsectv one field of nine acres the past seaso'n, thc yield of which wai more than ',900 pounds per acre. Many of the farmers say that they would not attempt to raiso grain, were it not for the faot that they can employ their hands upon that, when' the tobacco needs no care. Speculation is the order of the day. The great prevailing idea is, "make- or break. ,! The high price paid within tho pa-u ten days looks towards bankruptcy. Humor says that some lots have been t-old from 20 to 30 Cents per pound. Putnam, Jit. - Eed Pepper for Punch and Overcoats. The Scienlifu: American recommends as a substitute for hot whiskey punch of a cold night, the following : 'Put three or four lumps of sugar, with half a teaspoenful of cayenne pepper, in a tumbler, and fill it up with hot water; when the sugar is dissolved, drink. It is not only pleasant to the palate, but warms the whole body more effectually and quicker than spirits."
