The Guvernuif nte of Europe make a great
parade and a wonderful display of pomposity in
relation to reigning houses, j France has its
house of Bourbon, Prussia that of Brandonburg,
Austria that of tlapfburg and England, after
trying a number of dynasties, has for 200 years
been ruled by the liooneol Hanover, represented
in a race of G jelplis. All theee houses, and
many more, are now united under the em
pire of Finai.ce, whereof the sovereign is of the
house of Rothschild. The strides of that house
to empire has been long and rapid, and its found
ations are probably more stable than those of
any other reigning family. . Buonaparte rose
rapidly from the lieutenancy of the regiment
La Fere to the command of Europe. A mili
tary organization is not permanent however.
Most ot the present families have come from as
low an origin as the house of Rothschild, but
they have been longer on the journey, and the
frame work of their greatness wss built slowly
in the Ispse of generstions, eech one of which
found the platform raised somewhat. These
Guelphe, whereof Mrs. Victoria Coborg ia the
mort fortunate representative, have been a long
time on the way. They msy be traeed back to
the time of Charlemagne j and the story runs,
as relsted to us by a mysterious vieux mous
tache, in a gloomy tavern at Oenebrick, thus :
n the year 600, Iron'orsnd, Count of Altorf,
saw an old woman wlio had three children at a
birth, and thinking this unnatural he called ber
an adultresa. The old woman in her anger re
taliated, praying that the Countess Intent ret
might have aa many at birth as there are
months in the year. Accordingly, while the
Count waa gone to the chase, bia lady was de-
ivered of twelve boy a; and leering the anger
of her husbsnd she ordered the maid to take ele
ven in a basket and drown them. On ber way
she met the Count, who asked her what waa in
her basket 8he replied, KJuelpbsl' (young
dogs,) The Coun however, examined the
baaket, and from the strength and likeness ot
the boys knew them for hia own. He educated
them secretly, end when they were grown re
turned them to the mother. From that time
Guelph haa been the family name, and Victoria
in her faithfulness keeps up the honor ot the
family.
The 'Guelphe' are therefore a greit house
but the Rothschild dynasty ia in the ascenden
cy. The Baron Lionel de Rothschild is the
first Jew member ot l'srlisment, and bis admis
sion, for which special law ia required to be
passed, is by the English tories considered t fa
tal blow to the English constitution. If his pre
sence in Parliament strikes one constitution th
money of bis bouse upholds half a dozen.' At

In the year 1740, in a little Jewish cettlc-
ment in 'Frankfort-on the-Maine,' dwelt a family
of poor but respectable Jew pedlars, and in that I
yesr they were blessed with a son, whom they
called Mayor Aneelm Rothschild. They gave
him what education their small mesne would
permit, but, dying when he waa at the age of
eleven, left him to hia own resources. He then
earned a scanty living by writing, which he
soon abandoned for a trade. But his ambition
was to be a priest of his religion. Fortunately
for tottering dynavties of the present dsy this
wish wss not sceomplished. His trado requi
red him to travel; and after some years he re
turned to his native place and established a small
business. He soon, however, gained considers,
ble notoriety as collector of old end curious
coins, which brought him much in contact with
persons of tank, among whom it waa a fashion
to make such collections; snd finally he went
to Hanover as clerk in a large banking house.
Subsequently, with a few years savings, he
returned to Frankfort, married, end commenced
a little exchange business. His great sagacity,
strict punctuality and rectitude of conduct, pu
shed him rapidly forward, and toward the close
nf the century the Frsnkfort hanking house had
become famous, and its profit large: The bank
er meantime brought tip ten children, of whom
five sons were 'after his own heart;' and when
he died he left them vast wealth end sn exten
sive business, with the injunction to dwell in
strict and unbroken unity. And the injunction
then bestowed haa been faithfully carried out.
The five sons conducted ss many bsnking house
st the leading cspitslsof Europe. They were
as follows the eldest, Aneelm, wis born in
1773, snd wss the most substantial citizen of
Frankfort; and s representing the father was
the hesd of the whole operations of the house.
The second, Solomon, born 1774, became a citi
zen of Vienna, where he ia held in high estima
tion aa a man, a a well as a member in the most
stupendous bsnking houso in the world. .
The fourth son. Chart-, wss born in 178,
and haa since 1621 conducted the house at Na
pies, ' where hie popularity i equel to that nf
any of his brothers; The yonnpest son, Jarnh,
Wss bom in 1792, and is the bsnker for Paris,
wher? he maintain a splendor that eclipses most
of the nrincee or Europe. 1 he third son we
have yet to mention, Nathan, who was born in
1777, and became the head of the Imdon house
in 1799, and was io evrry intellectual rrsppct
a riant. ' It was obnerved nf him that ehiuild tin

phants. , ., , - -
-- These five houses, combining sll the finsn
ciai resources ot Europe in ineir -movements.
which were always simultaneous, have exe-riv-
ed for half a century a power unseen but over,
whelming. Nearly sll the government debt
of Europe are their contracting. Through the
warsof Bonaparte their information waaslwiy
correct, and always in advance nf the British
government, which wss often dependent upon
them for information as well ss means of action.
Although their residences were always widely
ecpsrated, each controlling all within the sphere
of his influence, and commanding all means of
information, no important transsction wss en-
tered into without consultation sod strict har-
otony of opinion among them all. All comraer -
cial exchanges and all movements of business
were known to snd often cnntroled by the old
Jew in Frankford, who could in the exercise of
bis great power look with contempt upon feeble
despots crying to him for help ; and the aid ask-
ed depended on the assent of the five brothers.
Accordingly they were courted in every pos-
sible way. In 1818, they were made private
commercial counsellors to the King of Prussia ;
in 1815, financial counsellors to the Hessian
government ; also to the Austrian Emperor,
who conferred on them the rank of Barons. In
18.-10 Nathan died, leaving 53 000 000 and ae
ven children, of whom four were eons. The
eldest, Lionel, who had been made Knight of
Isabella, by the Cat bo! ice at Madrid, and who
is a Usron of Austria in right ot bis lather, ap
peared in August, 1830, on the London 'Change,
in the place his father had occopied for 38
years. This gentleman it ia who has become a
merrber of Parliament at the expense of a
change in the English constitution.
The House combined haa loaned the King of
tho French the money necessary to keep him on
the throne a tew yesrs longer. It is manifest
that as this bouse baa grown up with govern-
ment debts, that ths continuance of their power
is in some degree dependant upon existing go-1
vernmenta. A branch of tha House) bss been
established in New York, conducted by Mr.

A correspondent of the St. Louis . Revil'e.
writing from Fort Msnn.on the Arkanass Ri
ver, gives some further particulars of the rwirwa-
ere nf the Santa Fe battalion of the Pawnees:
We bad quite a melee out here on the after
nnnn of the lflth November, the particulars of
hich sre ss follows! About 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, some of our men descried a party of
Indians coming down the heights opposite the
fort, on the other side of the river. Not know-
ine what their intention might be.Capt. Pelzer,
then in command, ordered the troops to beat "to
arms." By this time the Indians had crossed
the river, and encamped about half a mile below
the fort. They were over one hundred in num
ber. Their chief and three others advanced to
wards na with a white flag, when they were
met by Capt. Pelzer, company C, and Lieut
Tuttle, company E, and rmbraced in the warm
est manner, when they all returned to the fort,
alternately smoking the pipe of peace, CspL
Pelzer took them around outside the quartets.
showing them one thing or another, in the
meantime firing off one of the brats pieces,
which appeared not la disconcert them in the
lesst.
At the report, about sixty came up a coun
cil of the officers had been held to decide upon
some measures to be taken, the concluaion of
which waa to take them all prisoners. After
strolling about outside for some time, they in.
duced them tn enter the fort, which they readi
ly consented to, and seated themselves in a cir
cle inside. The guard was then ordered to
bring in a few that had remained outside; but
they bees me alarmed at this movement, and
one of them, who had been taken in by the
guard, ss he approached the circle, harangued
for a few moments, when they all rushed aim
ulianenusly for the gate. We were now order
ed to fire on them ; thoso who had their guns
loaded did so, and the balance commenced load
ing and firing. A number of our men were
outside of the fort at the time, and without their
guns and in their hurry to reach these, they ru
shed into the fort, exposing- themselves to the
fire of our own men, snd it seems almost miracu
lous that not one of them was hurt. -
The Indians were pursued some two miles
from the fort, when wo returned. Three were
shot down the firot volley we fired one killed,
the other two wounded. Three were in Capt.
Prlzer's quarter at the lime, one of them, how
ever, endeavored to effect his escape by rush
ing out of the room through tha gate, and had
so tar succeeded as to gt about fifty yards from
the fort, when he wns'shot down. 'Amid this
confusion and excitement, a shot was fired by
one of the remaining Indians in the room, but
without doing any dnmage.' The guard then
commenced Print? in on tlient from the door
and window of the roou where they were con
craled; and the Indians, to prevent being too
plainly seen, commenced throwing on the fire
pitch materials aa came in their wsy, such aa
officers' cloaks, coats and uniforms, &c., tasano-
1 ther it . .. . ' i .
One of litem had encased himself in an artil-
lery-insn s uniform, hoping by means to effect
his eecspe, but to no effect ; they were perfect-
iy riddled with balls, aa also waa the clothing
I and effects of the t flicers who occupied the quar-
ters. There were in all four killed, two taken
prisoners, and some fifteen or twenty wounded.
I They were a party of Pawnees, supposed to be
the same that has troubled our trains so much
It hia last summer. It might be well hereto
1 state that Capt Kosialowskl and Lieut Tuttle,
I who were opposed to bringing them into the
fort, did not participate in any of the proceed
ings, otherwise than obeying positive orders of
Captain Pelzer, who was than in command.

of stock, for instance, farmers who are scrnpu
loiisly vigilant in applying the most rigid prin
ciples of prudence in other matter, are shock
ingly remiss. My object in the present com
municstion is not so much, however, to censum
ss to offer a word of advice to thoeo whom f ran
b-jt regsrd as negligently inattentive to their
own interests, and to whom consequently, a (r
kindly and timely suggestions may be tx-ni fi-
ciaL The subject to which I wish at present
more particularly to solicit attention, is the
economising of fodder a subject certsinly, in
this climate, of transcendanl importance, and to
which every one who has the care and manage
ment of a stock of cattle, watchfully to attend.
It haa been repeatedly demonstrated and by ex
periment that the simple process of cutting fod
der for horses and neat stock, will effects very
considerable saving. This is a process easily
effected. The machinery, or instrument, ra-
ud for thii purpoiet j, extremely simple
and of small cost. A single operative will cut
a sufficiency of straw, hay, butts or topstslk. in
an hour for fifteen head of cattle, and this fodi.r
so cut, moistened with a little warm water, (if
the weather be cold,) and fed out with a slight
quantum of meal will be twice as effectual in
promoting the growth of the animaW, as it fed
to them in its uncut state.
No "orti" are made in this wsy, and the !srg
and coarse are devoured instead of being thrown,
away. ,
By adopting thia economical system of (ceil
ing his refuse, a farmer msy easily convert all
his straw, stalks, &c, to a valuable uee. If
be has plenty of these materials, he msy, if he
thinks it judicious, mix hay with them in such
proportions aa to him may appear tn be best cal
culated to promote the animal's health ard
growth ; or he may mix straw, stalks snd hay,
and then add water, meal and salt. This 1 find
makes a rich feed, and ia excellent for milch
cows, snd by msny is considered superiour to
hay and grain. In some instances I have added
boiled potatoes to the above materials, which
is doub'.lees a valuable addition, but objectiona
ble where one has a Urge stock, on the score of
its expense. . 1 now prefer feeding the potatoes
eeperate and in their natural stale say once a
week. Thia preventa coetivenesa and as the
potatoes are laxative, conduces greatly to the
animal's health.
If thoeo who have tested the plan, will adopt
it, tbey may rest assured of the best results.
Let every fanner and stock-feeder, therefore,
give it fair trial ; the expense will be emtll,
and far more than refunded in the firrt week.
In England especially in all the test farm
ing" regions, the chopping ot fodder, even Eng
lish hay for horsea and other stock, is prnctised
as regularly as the grinding of corn. Hay and
straw cutters of superior construction, arc thoro
eeen on sale in all'the principal warehouses and
agricultural depots, and are found in most of tha
barna and stables throufjSmt the New England
States. : A Practical Fabmui.
Fish Fiohts. Every one ia aware of the fe
rocious contests which often take plsce among
the higher animals during the season of lovo
snd gallantry ; but few, we believe, will be pre
pared to find the ssma fueling raging at fierce
ly among the cold-blooded denizens of the wa
ters, though the poet haa given his word for it,
"that even an oyster may be crossed in love."
Such, however, is the case, if we may cred t
the subjoined paragraph from the "Elgin Cou
rier." "While several cutter-men (of the Pre
ventive Service) were on their rouuds the other
day, and bearing along the Findhorn, between
Glenfeneaa and Dulcie Bridge, they oUcrvr.d an
unusual commotion among the spawning; bed

large male salmon were aeen engaged ia mortal
combat fur tbe possession of a female. ' Never
