On the other hand writers whose hearts scent to be steeped in the gall of bitterness, whose very pens drop venom, would fitin have ua believe,, that nothing noble, nothing human, characterizes these sons of the forest Libel ing theta as blood-thirsty, and brutalized, and devoid of natural . affections.

As my acquaintance is confined to those tribes found within the boundaries of Minnesota, I will but allude to the Sioux, Fox and Chippe wa tribes. Each tribe is peculiarlY.senacious ortribal diqinctireness. They look•-upon all other t tribes with a jealous distrust, and consider 'them as inf6liors. In, consequence of this j feeling, intermarriages. are prohibited. mid if at any time a warrior [should continct a mar- I rine of this character without first obtaining convent of the tribe, his life is most likely to be forfrited. - Many of the bloody wars which . have been waged among them, owes their origin to this cause.. It is true that. when tribes are. 'at peace, that Matrimonial alliances are con meted to , strengthen the bond of amity. Again, when-11'47'443e is decimated--by-"war;-or the more direful scourge of epidemics, and in their wenkness feel unable to resist the attacks of their porterful neighboys; in many cases theyare incorporat etl into a different tribe, nod . thus lose their identity. lint in almost every inst tunic, ,one of., the ,conol,9l,nr-is a mutual pledge, that eternal Phial be waged 'against the offentlingYribe. This is it prolific source of Each 'tribe is easily distill, .guished by some peculiar trait differing, from all surrounding tribes. Thus, the Fox" tribe is noted for their height, fine forms,' erect bearing rind-prdittl'defimit Walk. Whilst the "Sioux" aro remarkable for robust bod ies, slightly stooped and restlessness. This is so peculiarly in harniony,with their bad 'faith' and low cunning, for whichi they are so noto riously credited,- that. treachery and the. "Si oux" are synonomous terms.

So subtile is it that even the close textured glass cannot repel it, or forbid its entrance to your chamber.' But resistlessly it comes bringing joy .nnd gladness to all. It enters the animal as'well as the plant, giving life and vigor to both. Without it the earth 'would be unin habited and the universe evoid. And what is this that seems so potent ? A little sun-beam so minute, that with thecount less millions of, its fellows that have. cheered the earth since the - creation, the fittest balance is not. affected. It. cannot be.

' And yet•thisis_ but one of a host. of marvellous phenomena that are constantly before us and upon which our very lives depend, yet we pass them by unnoticed. The peasant who, trudges :daily over the Alps = looks upon those dizzy heights and yawning elm:nos tis so many obstacles to bo overcome and avoided. ,fie sees. no sub limityin those landscapes which fill the soul oft he philosopher with reverential awe. - And. we like the unlettered rustic, become no fn mihar- with -ate- wontters•of-natuv that-sur— round us, as to lose sight of their real gran difur. • ^ - • • When we lookaround 'us and _observe 'that all of the-really powerful agencies of nature . are like Caloric and light exceedingly subale, and like th ese can - only be estimated by their effect:4, we do not wonder at the ilinmeopath for claiming that as by the process of attenu ation,- his drugs are made to approximate in form to the imponderables, their "power „ to heal, is increased and like that ,of light and heat_ can best be known by, effects. ants carried into the doinains of 1;-scti it nniy not be out of,place to close this with a few remarks upon „ attenuations.' When the disciple of !Wittman speaks ,of -the power' of attenuated medicines, he means that by attenuation, the drugs are so commi nuted that they can enter all parts of the ors ganism, and attacking disease in its secret lurking places, cause its entire overthrow.— Again, as has been said aboVe„by this process they tire made more nearly to 'assimilate the imponderable agents, and hence their activity is vastly increased. Further,. this is reason, able. for it being only the Surface of the par ticles that can conic in contact with the tissues, and thus act upon these, their activity must increase in direct proportion to the increase of surface. 'That the surface is increased by trituration and succession, needs no demon stration. The extent of this increase any be inferred.from it familiar example A grain of gold, which in the lunili presents a' surface less than thelenth part Of a square inch, any be beaten out so as to make fifty squareinches of foil, and this having two sides, gives a sur face of one hundred sqiihre inches or more thatrirt honsand . times the surface - it- bad when in lump, and yet this is but the beginning ot' the enth,---Then. there ate several reasons why attenuated medicines shonld be effective.— They can meet disease ,just in those tisues where it assails the organism; the vast in -crease of- surface,' - in proportion to their ab solutetbulke makes., them vastly more, active than crude drugs; and besides these, their ' curative action is greatly favored by the in-, creased susceptibility of the diseased Organ or tistte. to the swim' of a drug that weak' act specifically upon it when in health.

'Here, on the 10th of -oe tober,-1774, during-what is , known-as- Lord 'Dinunore's War, was fought one of the fiercest and most ddsperate battles that ever took place between the Virginians and their forest foes. , • After the battle in .tpiestioti, in which the ,Indians were. defeated with great loss, a fort was hero erected by . ,the victors, Which - became a point of ,great importance throughout the sanguinary scenes of Atrife which almost im mediately followed, and which in this section of country were continued fol.: many. years af ter that establishment of peace which holcnow.: lodged the United Coloniei nfrce and indepen dent' coition.
