Dtaa Sia : In looking over the columns ol your welcome paper, no notice is published thst the Star of Enpire U ft ill Westward and that Juniata is furnishing her quota of the Dumber that is swelling the population of the West disappomttneul Will aud must meet some, while prosperity and success will crown the efforts ot others perseverance and energy, are the characteristic, that mark tte growth of men's fortunes in the land of the "setting sun," and he who sup poses that when here, he will Inhale an Ambrosial Atmosphere, and revel in perpet ual sunshine, snd Meal enchantiueuts, will And these weird illusions dissipated by a semi-darkness that by no means savors of iuapirslion, r makes a man leel that it la good Ivr him to be here. It is otten amus ing to see the "rose-colored conceit" that the novice entertain, when be makes his iitli.1 among the grim and clear calculating deuitens of th West. This rarely happens. and we are glad of it, as it is hardly ever purged from him until he bas passed through tlie mill of financial tribulations and find, nothing lef t but boots aud neck tie. The towering men ol the West, who have rien to wealth and eminence, have backed but little iu recreative enjoyment, or lovei but little in that Imaginary stream, whose limpid waters ripple over rubies and diamonds. An inexcusable indecision, rath er thin slouthful inactivity, is the bane of many men's success. That the time is past tor occuntu!atii.'g fortunes, in that rapid manner that once characterised tbe West, we have no douot ; yet we would say that mere is room lor ail wno would put a shoulder tb the wheel, and thst her great fertile and prolific prairies invite yen ; yea, beseech you to come and make yourselves homes in a land, though not to bo indulged in extravagant phantasies, nor in snrh a manner as for you to wjke np and find your selves in a wild dream when it is too late, but in a laud where continued perseveYarice reaps its reward. There are very few of those who come West at present, who stop in Iudiana, but between the years 1840 and 1350, alaige number of the Pioneers who moved wettwaru from Juoiata couuty, lo cated in this State. Many of them are liv ing in and near this city, while the msj irity settled in Carrol county, in the vicinity of Delphi. In fsct if a man were to drop blind-folded into almost any part nf that county and then "have his eyes opened" he would think he was surely among the good people of Tuscarora, for h. would tind the Whartons, the Uuilifords, the Martina, the Groningers, the Krpners, ic., some of whom had the energy and courage to grap ple With the adversities of a pioneer's lit. ; seeking homes in the heart of an nnbroken forest, beyond the confines of civilization, with the Indian for a ducky mate, and a log cabin for a place of shelter, severing the nearest and dearest ties of friendship, leav ing behind them the scenes of childboed and carry ifg with them reminiscences ot happy days gone by when in their youth their voices echoed among the hills of old Tuscarora Valley. Heaven ha seen tit to srLilo upon them, and tlw horn of plenty bas poured copious streams, mingled with peaceful enjoyment, upon the troubled wa ters of their early days. Some have meas ured the time of their earthly coarse, tud are laid away to rest beneath the sod ol tl Wabash Valley, whos fertile acre, they helped to clear, aud whose silent shades once rang with the steady strokes of their axes. But we digress. Fort Wayne is now the metropolis of northern Imliaua, and the second city in tbe State in size and population. Her growth and development in the last twenty years bas not l oeo su-pissed by Any c'ty in the West. She stands to-d-iy the emtxxli tuent of weal.h and enterprise the city of churches proverbial for the number, splen dor and magnificence of her residences. Proud of the collosal edifices, she has reared for the education and reti -ment nf her children, and rich in her manufactories. In fact, full worthy of the name she bears in commemorating tbe name of the illus trious "Mid Anthony Wayne." On the 14th of September, 1794, General Wayne commebced the erection of Fort Wayne at the confluence of tbe St. Joseph and St. Mary's rivers, and from this point be lent messengers with overtures of peace to the defeated Indians, who bad gathered in the vicinity of Maumee Bay, after a long series of battles in which the General severely punished them. Ttefe overtures finally in fluenced the Indians to meet Gen. Wayne In a council for the purpose of framing a treaty of peace, tbe result of which is known as the famous treaty of Greenville. This council was perhaps oui of the ablest of tbe kind that ever assembled on the continent, and much time was consumed before a final adjustment was made, and the treaty signed. The Indians displayed much ability and were remarkable for the knowledge and shrewdness they manifested in meeting the exigencies that surrounded them. General Wayne also showed himself ad expert diplomat, and conducted the pro ceedings of the conncil in such a manner a. to .how that he was fully conversant with the laws of diplomacy. After tbe treaty had passed a second reading and had been signed, General Wayne addressed the coun cil as follows i "AH you nations now present, listen. I shall ask each nation individually if they approve of and are prepared to sign these articles in their present form that they may be immediately engrossed for that purpose. I shall begin with the Chippewas, w ho with the others who approbate the measure will signify their assent. You, Chippewas, do you approve these article, of treaty ? and are you prepared to sign them t (a unani mous answer, yes). You, Ottawas, do you agree ? (ditto). You, Pi.ttowattomies T (ditto).

A large part of Ohio and Indiana was ceded to the United State, by this treaty, and with it commenced tbe tide of immi gration from tbe Eastern and Middle St&tes, that has been bonst&ntly flowing into the north western territory, and on ths ground where stood tbe famous fort, the present Site of the city of Fort Wayne i. located j Where We will leave it for tbe present, for fear of Intruding on your time and space.

A humorous occurrence took place iu a clrc'e of Lutherans th. other day, and may be related in this way : James Simons, sad dler, and member of tbe Lutheran church in this place, traded in a lot Of potatoes. Rev. Mr. Berry bought two busheU of the let, but left them in a bag in the saddler shop. LsteT in the day the reverend gen tlemen went into Simons' place to see about bis purchase, and arrange to take the pota toes to his borne. Editor Boflsall, also a Lutheran, happened to be in, and Justice Rreider, recently elected a Deacon in the ns church, most opportunely put in an appearance just then. The preacher gave attention to his pur chase, which drew the ready observation of the 'Squire id a remark or two, which was responded to by llr. Berry, adding. "Tes, the bag contains nic. potatoes, but that is not all of th a business; they really ought to be up at the parsonage.' , Tbe 'Sqnire In his business way turned to Simons, as much a. to Say, "Now is the time to make a ten strike, give the potatoes to our preacher." The "Squire can almost be read by th. attitude he strikes, so ex pressive are th. movements of bis person, and Simons read bim at a glance, aud an swered, "Tes, Mr. Berry shall hav. the po tatoes, they are his ; will yon take them to his honse ?" Tbe 'Squire thought he had brought Simon, to time, and he answered, "Oh, ). ! certainly, where can a wheelbar row be bad I" A wheelbarrow was soon obtained, the potatoes loaded on and the , 'Squire put between the handle, to wheel the load to. the preacher', home. Mean while Mr. Berry huiried to thd parsonage where he received the 'Squire and the pota toes in tb. most cordial manner. Tbe wheel barrow was returned and the circle wa. calm and content, with the 'Squire in a most complaisant mood, bsppy in the belief that t he bad got off a pleasant affair on brother S imons, and bad helped their pastor to just two bushels of eatable. Meeting brother Bohsall he expressed satisfaction at the lit tle joke on brother Simons. The surprise ot the 'Squird can better be imagined than described when Bonsau, quietly told him (hat if be tfnderstood tbe situation through: out, the' "boot certainly was on the other leg," and he, the 'Squire would, also, io conclude when told that Mr. Berry had paid Simon. 25 cent, per bushel for th. po tatoes before tbe "Squire appeared on the scene.
