SUNBUltY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL A TRfcATV WITH THE OJICCOX INDIANS- The Washington Republic announces (hat the commissioners appointeJ by Presl dent of the United State W treat with the Indians in Oregon, west of the Cascada mountains, for tha purchase of their lands, have concluded a treaty with the Santiam band of the Callnpooya tribe of Indians, by which they cede to lha United States a por tion of tha YVilliamolte valley, about eighty miles in length and about twenty in width. And they hare likewise concluded a treaty with the Twallatty band of the same tribe, including a country about fifty miles in length, and nbont twenty miles in width. Tha lands ceded by these tieaties are among the most valuable in the Williamette val ley. They objected to remove, and refused to have any of the purchase money appro priated to educational purposes, and they have been allowed to remain where they are. A largo portion of both of those bands are at all times living in white families in the capacity of servants ; and are represented as being very useful to the white population of the country. It is the opinion of the commission that tha most feasible plans for the civilization and enlightenment of the Indians of this country is to permit them to remain in the neighborhood of the while settlements, and to be imployed in tha vari. ous industrial pursuits of the white men. These Indians, unlike those on the east side of the Kocky mountains, are not only willing but anxious, to adopt the habits of civilized life ; and for this reason it was stipulated to pay a large portion of their annuities in clo thing. Most of them have, for a number of Years past, been in the habit of receiving money for their services, nnd have a tolera bly correct view of its value. The treaty has to bo acted upon by the Senate of the United States. FROM MEXICO. The Schoonor Robert Spedden, Captain Golding, arrived at New Orleans on the 7lh instant, from Vera Cruz, which port she loft on the 31st ult. Wo learn fiom Major J. A. Kelly, our Tehuantepec correspondent, that the voniito was prevailing to a great extent in Vera Cruz. The American Consul, Captain Ro gers, had been ill of it, but was getting bet ter when the Spedden left. Major Kelly, who came passenger on the Robert Spedden, is direct from Minatitlan, which place he left on the 23d ult. Ha brings despatches from Mr. M. W. Sidell, Engineer. We learn from Major Kelly that the sur vey is entirely completed, and that the hy drographie party was waiting at Minatitlan for transportation home. Thirty-four Californians came passengers from Veia Cruz on the Sears. They had taken the Acapulco route, and had been four months at sea, having been becalmed that length of time oh the Pacific. The principal question before the Cham bers was that of granting extraordinary nowers to tha President. The Senate has i passed a resolution giving tha Government the privilege of disposing of the remainder of llio American indemnity to the public creditors, and allowing loans to be negotia ted to the amount of $200,000 per month ; of fiimnrcssiiiL' the maritime and frontier custom houses, and cf doing various other things suited to tho exigencies of the limes. The Trail d'l'nion eays of theso resolutions, that ihey are all mystification. They give with one hand and taka away with the other, and would bo of no practical utility for tho raising of funds. When the subject came up in tho House, fourteen deputies withdrew, thus breaking the quorum. Af ter this, it was agreed to remain in session two days longer, but during that time noth ing was effected. On the 22d ult., a meeting of French resi dents, who had been expelled in 1838, was held at the restauraut of the Bazaar. Tho object of tho meeting was to receive tho report of a committee, concerning the prop er reclamations to ba made for injuries re sulting from the expulsion. Tho report was to bo transmitted to Franco through the French Legation in Mexico, Tho city of Tampieo has imposed a muni cipal tax ol a bit on every barrel of Hour imported into the place under the lata ile creo admitting foreign bread stuffs. We learn from Yucatan, that Gen. La Vega arrived at Campeachy on the 20th ult., and was received with great rejoicing by the inhabitants. Tho way has taken a turn favorable to tho whites. Col. Rosado had made an excursion into tho eastern portion of the peninsula, and had reduced a great many ol tho rebels to obedience. Tha city of Carmen has been again visited by a des tructive conflagration. It wi'l be recollect ed that on two occasions last year the town was nearly destroyed by fire. There is no doubt that incendiaries are determined on its destruction. The Shelield Independent statos that the Mormons have determined on a great and systematic attempt to convert England to Mormonism. They uie at this moment add ing to their churches, by adult baptism, 500 disciples every month. So confident are they, that they propose to hold a great Mor mon Conference in London, in the month of June. It is to bo hoped that repoiters will bo admitted to the sittings of the saints. Higii-Handeii Measure Tha Detroit Daily Advertiser contains an account of a brutal murder committed on Beaver Island on Friday last, upon Thomas Bonnett, undo, tha color of ecclesiastical authority. Mr. Bennett was shot through tha body with five rille bullets and thirty-eight buckshot, by a parly of fifty Mormons. His brother Samuel was also shot, but not killed. Great excitement pervaded the whole community. The Navy Department has, issued special instructions to the East India Squadron, to procure and send home rare plants and iteeds, particularly tho sugar oane and tea plant adapted to our climate and soil, and useful for domestic purposes, for distribution throughout the ccuutiy, THE AMEPJCA1T.

The July number of this excellent book is upon our tabic. It has now been established twenty one years and of course has attained its majority. Tho contrast between the Book in its babyhood and its present age, is as great as between the infant in am s and the beautiful woman. It owes this rapid and immense improvement to the talents and in dustry of Mr. Godcy nnd his graceful assistants, who have so well succeeded in pleasing the dif fering tastes of its numerous patrons, Wc may sufcly say it is the most popular of the magazines. The present No. is literally a Lady's Book, all the contributions being written by American la dies. HlICCKlKt's PlCTOIUAL HEinTHSTOVK, is upon our table. It is published at Philadelphia at$l per annum. It is, ns its editor says, de voted to the information for tho public and to wordly comforts for the publisher. GLEASOX'S PlCTOkTAt. Dhawisg Room Companion, Nos. 7 & 8 have been received. They are splendid specimens of tnsto and work manship. We refer our readers to the advertisement of Mrs. Grecnongh, in another column, in which she offers at public sale her household furni ture, &c, Pexhstlvaxia Fabm JoensiL. Tho June No. of this valuuble periodical comes to hand filled with highly useful and instructive matter. Its olrject is to impart information to the farmer, and from what we have seen of it, we feel war ranted in faying that object will be attained. It is published by A. M. Spauglcr, nt Lancaster, for tho low price of .$1,00 per annum. Every practical farmer should have it. Seabs' Family Visitor, published by Robt. Sears, No. 181, William street, New York, at $2,00 per annum, is a very good family news paper. It contains fewer pictures than some of its kind, ttnd consequently more reading matter. ttJ" The Montour Iron Works, at Dan ville, are busily engaged in rolling out the rail for the Williamsport and Elmira Rail Road. ttjr" Change of Namk.

KF" The Whig Stale Convention for the nomination of candidates for Governor, Canal Commissioner, and Judges of the Supreme Court, will be held in Lancaster, cn the 24th inst. tty The interior of Ihe Court House and public offices, presents a cleaner and neater appearance than we recollect noti cing in those apartments for a long time. It is only occasionally that we have a board of Commissioners who pay any at tention to the appearances of things, and consider the comfort of any person but themselves. The present board show a creditable spirit which we hope their suc cessors will emulate. O3" The crops will not turn out as well as they promised in the earlier part of the season. The grass and grain, a week or two ago grew most luxuriantly, and gave the hope of a bountiful yield. The grass still continues to flourish, but the grain is much beaten down by the heavy rains, and injured by the fly. We hear of some fields, which looked very well a short time ago, that will scarcely warrant harvesting Corn and potatoes are growing finely, but the trying time for them has not yet come. fX7" A large number of rafts passed here on their winding way to market last week. Many are till detained above for want of sufficient water. This has been a severe season on the lumberman. We hope they may soon have a railway to carry their stock, when the fickle water fails them. O" A very correct idea of the moral character of the Massachusetts higher law advocates, may be formed from a perusal of a tingle sentence of the speech of the notorious Elizur Wright, at a meeting at Chelsea. It is a fair sample of the whole address, and exhibits the indeceucy and profanity of that class of fanatics. "If a slave-hunter came lo my house J would kiil him, lake the constitution for hit wind ing ihect, AND BURY HIM IN Hi.lL '." ELECTION OF JUDGE. It has been justly remarked that n6 oc casion Las occurred since the revolution in which a question of so high moment was involved ns in the selection of our Judi ciary, under the amendment to the Consti tution. The persons whom we chose will be clothed with the highest authority in the State. The Supreme Court, as its title implies, are the interpreters of our Consti tution and our laws. They are the arbiters upon whose integrity, learning and judg ment, depend the titles of our property, the liberty of our persons, and even life itself. They hold a power, the exercise of which is most important in its consequences, and from which there is no appeal. The re sults of its exercise are of immense magni tude, not only to the present generation, but for time to come. Every man in this Commonwealth, rolls lie in countless wealth or drags he out existence in abject poverty, nay, the women and children, have a weighty interest in the formation of this high tribunal. No individual is so high that the hand of justice can not reach him, no wretch so degraded but the law stoops to throw its protection over him. Our legislators may make enactments, but the Governor can refuse them his sanction. The Governor may oppose this veto, but the legislature can set that veto at defiance by a vote ol two-thirds of their number. Thus each is a restraint upon the other. But it is in the Supreme Court that the power exists to control them both. They can construe the provisions of the law and mould it as the please, or annul and destroy it. No restraint is upon them but that of their own consciences, No power can set them right if they are wrong ; but the good or' evil effects of their decisions must go down to posterity, to bless or to curse. Their will is omnipotent. Their responsi bility is as f.refst as their power. But a greater responsibility rest3 with the people. It is their duty to scdect, with care and de liberation, those whom they would elevate to til is high station. Each voter has a per sonal interest at stake ; he is in c fleet cho sing a guardian of his persju and his pro perty, for to these judges it is committed to watch over and protect both. It is not with them, as with the officers hitherto chosen at elections. No party or (action is to be represented on the bench, nor should sectarian feeling approach it. The principles of justice and equity belong ex clusively to no party or sect ;. and these are the only principles which ought to be regarded. Great legal learning, correct judgment, unquestioned integrity and mo rality are some of the qualifications that the men we vote for should possess. Without these let his political opinions be what they may, he is unfit for a judge. If every man, as he should do, votes for those enly whose ability and honesty is acknowledged, and to whom he would per sonally trust his dearest interests, then the right kind of men will be selected. And it is only by this course that wc can faith fully do our duty. KT The Romanists of Spring Garden, Philadelphia, lately held a meeting, at which the common school system of this Commonwealth was condemned in strong terms, because "it is destitute of that par ticular religious instruction, which seems required to fix in the minds of the young, a deep practical sense of the demands of reli gion, as set forth in the doctrines and disci pline of the Catholic Church." It was deter mined to establish parish schools in connec tion with each of their Churches, and un der the management of the priests, and to refuse to send their children to the public schools. CP A man named Jackson M'Laugh lin, fell from the top of A. E. Knpp's barn, at Northumberland, on Thursday, and was severely injured. Dy A great fire has occurred in Stock ton, California, by which SI, 000,000 worth of property was destroyed. 7" Richard Later Slnel, the eloquent and impassioned orator of the Dritish House of Commons, died at Florence, on the 25th ult. The trial of Robert Morris, tho colored lawyer, was suspended by Judge Sprague ; and Mr. Dana B. Walker, one of the jury men to try tho case, was put under examina tion for perjury, a charge being made against him that he took oath to bring in a true ver dict under the law and evidence, whereas it alleged that he has long been violently op. posed to the Fugitive Law, and was a mem ber of the Committee of Vigilance to rescue fugitives. Messrs. Seaver and Washburn, of our Common Council, and other witnesses testify to conversations with Walker in which he declared ha was a member of lha Vigi lance Committee, and no colored man should be taken out of Massachusetts The trial creates much interest. Judge Sprague has set aside Ihe abolition juryman, Walker; lha testimony against him was so strong that no defence was offered. Boston rajier, ISth inst. The Exhibition. The attondanca of vis itors at tha Horticultural Hall on Saturday was unprecedented. Freni all parts of Ches ter and neighboring counties, the people poured in deuea numbers lha principal part, as we thought, being ladies. On Sat urday, besides the life members, who came and went at their pleasure, there weie be tween two and three thousand tickets sold. The attendance was much greater than at the last years' Juno exhibition. Piiag Record, EXTItACT OF A LETTER I llOll THE EIJl tor dated. Columbia House, ) Philadelphia, June 16, 1851. J There is so little certainty in lha mails fiom tho Post Office here, that I almost des pair writing, lest, as was the case with my last letter, it would not arrive until several days after the paper had gone to Press. That tha fault is in the Philadelphia office, there enn be ne doubt, ns letters coming hero are received in twenty-four hours from Sun bury. Tha Telegraph, thank fortune, can now bo resorted to, and will be found, in many cases, of the utmost importance, us it always has been to me. Tha proceedings of tho two late Conven tions at Reading and llarrisbnrg, together with the concerts and movements of Jenny Liud, have kept politicians nnd others here, on tho qvi fine, for tho last few weeks. Jen ny's ruptuie was very sudden. At her re hearsal on Monday nflemoon, in tho National Theatre or old Circus, she expressed her de cided disapprobation of tho place. Though Jenny's nasal organ is not large, her nostrils are well distended nnd fully developed. Her sense of smell is therefore exquisite, niul she did not seem to relish the horse stable perfume, which she fancied was tho pre dominate odercr of the place. Jenny jinim bled anil Uainum cogitated, and tho result was Jenny nyreed to give Barnnm S7,000 to release her from the siv nijjhts yet due, to make up the or,o hundred of tier rnjiiiire ment. Her original engagement was one hundred and fifty nights, with the privilege of breaking it at the one hundredth night. on payment of a forfeiture of $25,000. She therefore buys her term of fifty-six nights, for which she pays Huriinm the snug sum of $32,000. liarnum, it is said has inadu nut of her about $500,000 and she hag realized about 350,000 in this country, in less than nine months. Who can any longer duubt that tho American Republic is a great goose, and that Americans aro us liablo to be plucked ns tho royal bipeds of Europe. On Wednesday nnd Fiilny nights she sang at the Musical Fund Hall, which was filled to its utmost, at S3 per head, (excepting the dead heads of the Press) with a premium of ono to two dollars on many of the tickets. I was present at the Concert un Wednesday evening, and could not but admire, as I did on a former occasion, the wonderful scope and powers of her voice. The tones of her voice arc ns clear nnd ns molillnons as one could imagine Ihe music of lie spheres, but i the great misfortune is, that harmony, melo- j dy, pathos, feeling, tenderness, nature and , simplicity are sacrificed to brilliant displays j of the voice, and wonderful feats of execu- j tion, with superhuman efforts to supersede ' human uiiluro itself. I am well aware that j amateurs and critics by profession, will, as! they have done, smile at my simplicity, and meet such objections by attributing litem to a want of a cultivated taste. This may be so, but I am strongly of opinion that such tastes are moibiil and nnnntuial, and aro ac quiied like tho taste of tobacco, opium, and other unnatural stimulants, nnd wu want no better proof than tho fact that tho touching and simple airs of nil the best op"i.'is. are always most applauded and most cherished while tho opera itself is sometimes almost whollv forgotten. In the course of tho eve ning she sang ;IIlonie Sweet Hume-' and also '-Coming through tho Rye." These songs brought down thunders of applause. Tho first stanza of "Hume" was sung in most beautiful strains, such as moital man never before listened to, at least in this country. Tho audience was breathless in silence, and at the end of the stanza gave vent to a burst of enthusiasm and applause, that shewed how well they could appreciate tho true and simple melody of nature. In the second and third stanzas Jenny begun to threw some of her waibliug nnd other extras. The result was they were less etTcctive, and less applauded. Professed musical critics, in a jargon that sets at defiance common sense, as well as common intellect, never alludo to theso facts yet stiamre to say there aro few that venture to differ with them lest they should bo deemed unfash ionable. Such is, and always has been, Ihe despotism of tha tyrant fashion. While on lha subject of fashion I may as well alludo to the attempt making to intro duce a new costume for l!io ladies, accord ing to the Turkish mode, of trousers and shorl skirts. On a lady of a good figure, I havo heard it said, they look exceedingly well. Ladies, in this costume, have already appeared in New oik, Boston, Baltimore and other places, but I have not heard of any ono being seen in Ibis city. Some re form on this subject would, no doubt, piove highly beneficial, but I or one shall never consent to yielding up the breeches wholly, lo the softer sex, though, no doubt, sumo would wear them with a better giaco than somo of the lords of creation. While some are advancing tho costume of short skirts, others are running into lha other extreme. A few days ago I observed a lady in a hand some silk dress, promenading Chestnut street, sweeping the pavement in a trail that extended at least a yard behind. Near Sev enth street, a gentlemen accidentally trod upon tha trail of her skirt, which somewhat extended its dimensions. The lady looked daggers at lha unfortunate pedestrian, and passed on with the air and dignity of an in suited pea fowl. I observed another lady, a few days after, walking up Seventh, who swept all the gutters across tho pavements Her ancles, could they have been seen, would, no doubt, have presented a beautiful exhibition. 1 took occasion to spend a day at Reading, during ihe Convention. Tho town was filled with strangers, and it was next to impossible to get accommodations at the hotels. We was indebted to Friend Get, editor and pro prietor, of that excellent Journal tho Reading Gazette, for comfortable quarters during the night. A number of the citizens kepi open house, among the number was Han. George M.Keim, and Henry A. Muhlenburg. After the adjournment of the Convention on the first evening, an invitation was given to the delegates to a wine paity at the house of Henry A. Muhlenberg. Some wag imme. diately moved to amend tha motion by in cluding tho outsiders, which was carried by neclamation. Mr. Muhlenberg's elegant mansion was amply supplied for nil. The temporary organization of the Convojition, in tho appointment of a Chairman, gave pro mise of a regular scrimmage, but the matter was soon settled, and every thing passed off harmoniously. The nomination of Mr. Big lor gives satisfaction in every quarter. Ma ny of the whigs in this city will vote for him.. They all have confidence in his ubility and integrity. Mr. Clover the nomi nee for Canal Commissioner, is said to be a competent and worthy man. The nominations for Judges of the Su premo Court are well received here, except ing Judge Campbell's. Some of the friends of Judge Campbell seem very much elated, because tha "Statesman" has ceased its op position. The editor in his paper of Satur day last, says he will give tho whole ticket his hearty support, but winds up with the follow ing left handed compliment to Judge Campbell : "We have wnrncd the Convention of the con sequences, which we feared, and still fenr, will result from the nomination of Judge Cnniphell ; and if those consequences should ensue, the dele gates mav divide t lie responsibility among them selves." It is certainly to be regretted that Phila delphia city which prides itself on tho legal learning and distinction of her Bar, should not have presented a less objectionable can didate. But we must all live and learn Bought w isdom is sometimes the cheapest though the first lesson may be a haul one. .bulge Campbell is, we believe, nn amiable and respectable man, but these qualifications are not alone sufficient. The strawberry season is nearly over here. Very fine ones have been selling from six to ten cents per quart. Cherries are plenty. The maiket is uiso supplied with tomalues and new potatoes. I lit K AMI LOSS Of i.ii i:. un from tha Lebanon Courier W of the 13ih u!t that on Thursday morning, the on the Union Canal, about two miles below Har per's tavern, was totally destroyed by fire, along with several of its inmates. The house was occupied at tho time by Michael Rurk and wife, and Mr. Ilarwill, wife and tinea children. Mrs. Burk and two of Mr. liar will's children were burnt in the building, nud Mr. llarwiil was so badly burnt 'that he died on the evening of that day. Mr. Burk escaped by leaping out of a window, in do ing which he was badly injured. F.very ing in tho house, was destroyed, excepting about S.'iO in gold, which was aflerwards found Pori t.ATioN of China. Every loot of ara bhj land in this enimtrv needs to be cultivated to give food enough for the inhabitants: and jet. notwithstanding they are the most in dustrious at:d economical people in the woild, there is great diliiculty in supplying their necessary wants. Some idea of the crowded stales of the population may be formed from the fact, that a farm of forty or fifty acres, which in this country supports a family of six persons would in China support fifteen or twenty such families. The Steamer Scltana Ki'rnciv The splendid steamer Sultana, for New Orleans, was buined at her wharf, on Friday, at St Louis. She had just go', o.i board a full cargo, consisting in part of j0 hhds. bacon, 10(H) bales of hemp, fee., all of which was destroyed. The boat was insured for $50,. Ono, of which 30,000 was in tho Lexington, Madison and Floating Dock, Columbus and I'nion Ollioes. Tha fire from the boat communicated to tho extensive sugar refi nery of Mr. Agelrodt, causing damage lo the extent of 5?25,Oi)0, which, however, is cover ed by insurance. SiMri.irrrv. The more 1 see of the world tlie more I am satisfied that simplicity is in i separably the companion ol true greatness 1 never knew a truly great man a man who ovei topped his fellow men who did not possess u certain playful, and almost in fantile, simplicity. True greatness never trusts or plays the king upon the stage. Conscious of its elevation, and know ing in what the elevation consists, it is happy to act its part like other men, in tho common amusements and business of mankind. It is not afraid of being under-valued fur its hu mility. i'd'lWiig. Destiu'Ctive Fmr. at I'niostows, Pa.

A Dtr.t was fought al Yicksburg on Ihe 12th instant, between Gen. Freeman and Gen. Smith, opposing candidates for Congress. Gen. Smith, the Democratic candidate, was wounded in tho shoulder.

Last woek Ihe woiknen at Power's Sumit, on the Ohio and Pennsylva nia Railroad, found a petrified snake, the size of w hich would seem lo indicate that in this region at least that species of reptile has greatly degenerated. His snakeship was imbedded in the solid limestones rock, sixty feet below the earth's surface. Its size is enormous -sixteen feet in length, and in the middle at least four inches in diameter. The Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad is now under contract from Pittsbuigh, west ward, 185 miles. The competition was great and thework was allotted on favorabln terms. It is intended that ih whole rodd shall be fiiashtd for use ia 1853.

In tho island of Java it is an invariable custom for the natives to plant a tree at the birth of every child. Even the Euiopeans settled there have adopted the practice.
