As, how ever, it U a tribute well deserved both by the lecture and the lecturcrcr we think it well worth a place in our columns even at thw late day: "Woman's Influence." Notwithstanding the unfavorable state of the weather, and the very bad walking, on Satur day evening, (Jan. 2nd,) a large, select and ap preciative audience assembled at the Court House, to listen to a lecture on the above sub ject, bv Rv. P. M. Henkcl. The lecture was delivered in an easy and effective manner. It was replete with good sound sense, and illus trated with appropriate, amusing and instruc tive anecdotes. He pointed out how, from the cradle to the grave, we are ever subject to the mild and gentle, yet all powerful and potent infiuence of woman. In everr avocation of life, at all times jnd sex'Kjns, and in every place her spirit is present, controlling, gui ding, animating, restraining, and, in a thou and unseen ways, influencing our lives and ac tions. A pious mother's example, her teaching and her inllner.ee. extcnels far and wide. Like the stor.e ca t into the sea, the ripples reach the other shore, so docs her influence extend, wider and farther, and will never cease, until it is bounded, r-n all sides, by the shores of eter nity. fhe builds churches, founds hospitals, and soothes the sorrowing anel the suffering. The soft music of her voice and the gentle touch of her hand is heard and felt, and loth are re cognised as a powerful incentive to good. Yve cannot, in a brief rctiee like this, give even a passing glimpse of the many truths, the beautiful payings and eoger.t arguments witl which the lecture abounded. If it eouhl be read in the hearing of every person in theland, we think there would be lens occasion to heigh ten and thicken the walls of our gaol and pen itentiaries. Sitting there, we confess to having felt the gentle and magnetic power of woman's influence, and we were happy in the sensation it ;s sa:ei that the tIiait oi Danker 1 1 ill Monu ment bends, each day, successively, Fast, South and West, as the sun's rays fall upon it. Who shall f:iy, then, that lofty dignity, stern, impas sable and haughty grandeur shall not yield to mihl and gentle inllucnee.- ? A pure womanly soul shines out beautiful, like the milder clear ness of the moon amid the darting glow of the tars. There was ere point we would mention, anel that is, that "John Independent" was not the kind of stuff we would have a man made of. A little more of the realization of what consti tutes free moral agency, anel a little less eubser vior.ee to petticoat government in such matters, meets our ideas of a r,!cn. Also : it is a private ojdnion among some people, that any woman, of ordinary capacity, could manufacture, out of equal parts of putty and mulishne-ss, a u:n as good as "A. J., the humble." The Lecture was, in a literary way, a success, and we hope it was equally so in a pecuniary sense. It certainly deserved to be. The music, furnished by the choir of the Presbyterian Church, under the leadership of Mr. Hibler, was excellent. As amateur sing rs they have few superiors. The jingling of the bells, in the opening chorus, reminded some one near us of a minister who, when speaking of the keys of the "pearly gates," in his sermon, let fall an ordinary brass key to render the ef fect more tragic or impre-sive- The other pie ces wcra excellent performances, and so was the opening one with the above exception. It has not been our pleasure to spend an evening more pJeasanily and profitably in a long while Success to Rev. Mr. Ilenkel, the choir, and, a bove all, the ladies. . -6 Konroe County Teachers Institute. This organization met on Monday, Jan. 11 1SC9, in the Court House at Stroud-burg.

The magazine is under the editorial conduct of Capt. Mayne Rccd, a litteratiur whose ele gant and soul-stirring writings have long since made Ida name a household word in his land of adoption. The articles in "Onward," whether in shape of fiction, stern reviews, passing trifles or what-not, all go to show that the old fire still remains an integral part of the gallant Captain's make up, so that we may saftly prom ise oursclf and all the world beside, many a day of pleasure in printed company with the author of the Scalp Hunters, the Rifle Rangers, the Quadroon, and a host more of works of most entertaining fact and fiction.

" In the Field, Fort Cobb, Indian Terri tory. Jan. 10. Brevet Major General W. A Nichols, A. A. (L, Military Division of the Missouri. General : I have the honor to forward the following for the in formation of the Lietcnant General Com manding. The destruction of the Com anchce village by Colouel Evans's com mand on Christmas day, gives the final blow to the backbone of the Indian re bcllion. At 12 o'clock on the night ol the 31st of December, a delegation of the chief Medicine men of the Arapahoes and Cheycnues, twetity-one in all, arrived at this place on foot, their auimals not being able to carry them. They said they rul cd tho village ; they begged for peace and permission for their people to come in asking no terms but for a psper to pro tect them from the operations ol our troops while on their way. They report the tribes in mourning for their lasses, their people starving, their dogs all eaten up, and no bullalo. Wo Lad lorced them in to the canons on the eastern edge ef the stake plains where there is no small garje or buffalo. They are ia a bad fix, and desire to surrender unconditional!'. I acceded to their terms and will punish theui justly, aud I can scarcely make an error in any punishment awarded, tor they all have blood uyon their bauds. Yesterday we received a low papers, the first we have had for a month, and see it alleged by the Indian Agents that Black Kettle's baud was on their reserva tion at the time they were attacked. This is a falsehood. The Reservation extends but thirty miles up the Washita from Fort Cobb. The battles took place 120 miles up the river. It is alio alleged the baud was fricnlly. Nj one could make such an assertion who had any regard for truth. The young men of this baud com menced the war. I can give their names. Some of Black Kettle's men were oat do predating ;;t Fort Dodge v.he-n the village was whiped out and the mules taken from the trains aud carried off. Our murder ed courier's photographs, stolen from the scene of the outrage on the Solomon and Suliue rivers, were found iu their captur ed camp, and in addition I have their il lustrated history found in the captured camp, showing the different fights and murders in whie hthls tribe was engaged, the trains attacked, the laying parties at tacked about Fort Wallace, and the wo men, citizens, and soldiers killed. It in at the service of any one desiring infor mation on the subject. It should be known also that I invited Black Kettle and his family to come in, through the Arapahoe chief Little Raven, in my in terview with that chief at Fort Dodge, in September last, but they did not come. Ycry respectfully, P. II. Sheridan, Major General. ATTORNEY GENERAL, The annual report of Attorney General Benjamin Harm Brewster, for the year 1SG55, sets forth that $50,499.09 was col Iected in the year 1SGS on account ol principal sums due the State, and $1,460, 42 for interest. These amounts were for old claims. "New c!aini3 were collected by . the Attorney General during the year just past amounting to $93,740. 20, on account of interest. "From appeal cases and suits of differ cnt characters $152,239.73 have been collected. "One hundred and twenty-two suit? were brought during the year. The quo warranto issued at the suggestion of the Attorney General in 1807 against the 'Gettysburg Orphan Asylum,' led to the payment into Court of the funds in the hands of the directors, amounting to $S. 500. Interpleaders ia regard to the ownership were filed, aud the point wiil doubtless be argued during the present month. The 'Washington Library Com pany' ceased ii3 operations and was dis banded previous to the day of hearing the quo warranto against it.' Guide Boards. The law requires guide boards to be placed at the forks ot every road, and it ie duty cf constables to report to the Court cuJ'"' where law has not beeu complied with. . This is 2 useful provi siou, and beneficial to .ill clasaC? of pco pie. Nothing ii more unpleasant ,"au not to know which of two roads to takc,t especially when a tang distance from a place where inquiries can be made. In recent rides through our county wc cb served that many cross-roads had no guide boards whatever, and some of those which were up were so much defjeed by ex posure to the weather that they could not be read. We would respect fully call the attention of road supervisors to thia sub- ject. Lafayette College. The late Matthew New-kirk, Fq., of Philadelphia, was indentified with the early history of Lafayette College, and though subsequently a Trustee at Prince ton, his interest in the former Institution continued uuabatcd till the end of his life.
