are full thirty thousand colored people in Canada
West, and their number is rapidly increasing. Eight
thousand principally from the Northern Scales, have
found their way there during the past twenty months.
Being extremely poor in a strange land, qnd without
homes or means tor procuring a livelihood, they
have suffered greatly from hunger and cold. The
Missionaries who have gone among them, have
taxed themselves to the utmost in alleviating their
sufferings, giving away their own necessary gar
ments, and dividing the last measure of meal.
Sometimes we hear our Northern Negrofobist
lamenting that the slaves of the South cannot read,
rather, that they are not educated at all. We
join in their lament. It is a great pity that all the
black men on all the cotton, sugar and rice planta
tions south of Masou and Dixon, cannot, or do
not, read newspapers—for we are quite sure if
their eye met this statement of Foote, they would
not be so readily hurried into the abolition trap, and
sent into Canada by the underground railway, there
to die of hunger and cold, as so many thousands of
their brethren are dying there now.—.V. Y. Express.

He refused to be carried from the field, and re

inflexible determination and daring courage I do
not believe was ever exhibited upon the battle
field.”—N. E. Smithy an eye witness.

Gen. Scott.
A Modest Demand!
In 183G, when Gen. Scott was a Major
General by brevet, and in the receit of 84,500
per annum, as a regular salary, he applied to
Congress, by petition, over his own signature,
to be put on the INVALID PENSION LIST;
but the committee unanimously decided that he
could not receive an invalid pension and hold
bis uigh position in the army at the same time,
which ho wanted to do.
A Good Sized Squash.
We noticed the sale, in our market, a few
days ago, of a Squash weighing eighty-six and
a half pounds.—-At/an/a Intelligencer.
he Indian was dead, was curious and affecting.—
The son sat mutely and moodily on the ground, with
irms folded, and his dark piercing eye sorrow
fully fixed upon the corpse of his dead sire. It
seemed strange to him that they should put the body
into a coffin, instead of interring it after the manner
of his own people. As eoon as the coffin was ear
ned away by the undertaker, the tent was ruthless
ly rifled of most of its contents, beads, baskets and
other trinkets the Indian? had been making for a
livelihood, by some pale faced vagabonds in the vi
cinity, spite of the remonstrance of some kind-heart
ed women, who with those lender and humane im
pulses native to the sex, had all along been atten
tive to the wants of the dying stranger. The tent
itself was carried away even, leaving the surviving
Indian to make his bed on the cold damp earth, with
only the sky above for a covering. And there he
was silting last night waiting, in silent sorrow, the
return of his absent relative from her pilgrimage to
the East. It was a sad suggestive incident, the
death ol the lone Indian on the hill. His epitaph
the epitaph of a race in this region of the coun
try, once their own.
“Alas, for them I their day is o’er.
Their fires are out from shore to shore;
No more for them the wild deer bounds—
The plough is on their hunting grounds.
The pale man’s axe rings through their woods,
The pale man’s salis skim o’er their floods,
Their pleasant springs are dry ;
Their children look by power oppressed ;
Beyond the mountains of the West,
Their children go to die.”
Gen. Scott’s Religion*
Much has been said about Gen. Scott’s reli
gious opinions; but it has been historically as
certained that he never “ experienced ” religion
until he regarded himself as challenged to fight
a duel by Gen. Jackson. Hit religious senti
ments did not last him long, however, for in
less than two years ho degenerated into a
“backslider,” and’ challenged Gov. Clinton,
who he knew was bound hy his oath of office
^ot to fight—Kentucky Statesman.
