Smith is to virtually give tha raoe to Uan. Colquitt. The ohanoe that tba junior candidates had in the formerstatcs of the field was that Colquitt and Smith would eaob be strong enough to prevent the other’s nomination; that in the prolonged scramble resulting between them, a com promise man would beoome a necessity. The elimination of Smith leaves the field without any candidate strange enough to engage Colquitt in a really serious strag gle for the nomination. Gov. Smith’s friends, almost without exoeption, inoluding each veteran cam paigners aa Judge Hall and Mr. Wes Mur phy, are for Colquitt. Two-thirds of all the Solicitors General, and in faot Gov. Smith's whole strength has gone to him, inoluding many of the newspapers for merly supporting Gov. Smith. This wholeaale rallying of Smith's friends sround Colquitt la due to the faot that the moat of them were his supporters before our present Governer became a candidate. By the combination of the forces of the two leading candidates there exists little doubt but that Gan. Colquitt will be nominated on the first ballot. xx qovxbnob Johnson's position. In sddition to all the above, it is known from the moat perfeot.authority that ex- Governor Johnson ia openly, and earnest ly la favor of Gen. Colquitt's elution. The relations between these two pVre and distinguished Georgians hsve slweys been most intimste and affectionate. Gov. Johnson does not hesitate to ascribe his election over ex-Governor Jenkins Gen. Colquitt's supreme popularity and energy. Gen. Colquitt, then a mere boy of 26 years of age, was the Democratic nominee for Congress in the Fourth Dis trict. The district bad a natural and oon- atant Whig majority of about l,7u0. The campaign was one of unusual apirit. Bs - ker oounty, then as large as thru counties now are, was stirred from oentrs to air- oumferenoe, in Colquitt’s behalf. The whole ooanty was ablaze with bonfires; barbecues drew great orwds at every oross road; every stamp had its speaker and its sndienee, snd when the oount wss made it was found that the young leader had ee- tually reversed the majority of 1,700 votes, and wss elscted by over 600 votes. He oarried the State ticket with him, and, as Gov. Johnson was eluted by only 363 votes, it i, apparent that Colquitt's per sonal strength in hir Congressional dis triet, had much to do with tha result. After this campaign, these two gentle men formed sn intimacy, that nothing has ever weakened. Mr. Johnson's pre ference for Mr. Colquitt Is open and sin cere. His influence in Middle Georgia, especially, is very great, and must give great strength to the candidate for whom it is thrown. CONGRESS. ■•CEE.. Washington, May 3.

INDIAN TRADITION!!. WUY KNEMIB8 ABB BCALPXD—MASONS AMONG THB OSAGEH. From tho Indian (Osage Agency) Herald,] The tradition of the first landing of Indians iu the New World has been re peated to chosen braves over and over from one generation to another, and to this day the Ganges have what is enpposed to be nearly the original language of their an cestors. They claim that their progeni tors caiue in ark or boat, and while in the vessel the Great Spirit came and restod npon one of their namber, end told him to select six others to assist him in gov erning his nation ; hence the origin of the seven original bauds of the tribe. The Spirit, while in conversation with this favorite one, directed him to oom- muuioate whatever instructions he re ceived for his people through his chosen assistants, and to this day the name of the one upon whom the Spirit rested sig nifies one who talks with God. His lodge is a sanctuary for any criminal who may flee from juaiioe or vengeance, and he ranks with tbe highest chief of the tribe. Hefore they oame in ooutact with white people they lived in tbe enjoyment of peace and happiness, bnt they are now realizing that white people are as numer ous as “leaves in the forest,” and that they only constitute a remnant of this once powerful and warlike tribe, aud are at the mercy of the white raoe and liable to be driven backward step by step into the waters of the ocean. Their religion tends to give them a gloomy and melatioholy east of character, and among other things they believe that the spirit of the departed hovers in an guish around them nntil a scalp ia taken to accompany it to the Indians' last rest ing place, the great hunting ground, where the spirit of a slain enemy servos him the most servile offloea throughout eternity. For this purpose, though much ban been said and written abont the civ ilization of tbe Osages, they yet organize mourning parties and go upon the war path, when otherwise they are peaceable. Though at first thought it may strike the minds of our readers as almost incredi ble, there are Masons among Osagex. They were probably admitted to the secrets, rites and privileges of this ancient iusti tntion by the French, in early days, they being the first whites with whom they met. They retain a part of the workings of the craft. Colonel J. M.

From the Loudon Times. ] Mr. Spalding, au American, proposes to reverse a natural process which has been in aotion for thousands of years, and, in his opinion, has produced the ; >resent distribution of the human race in Snrope. It is a question of taming the waters of the Bltck Sea into the Caspian, and filling that great inland basin to the depth whioh obtained at a remote period. At present the Caspian Sea, and, through kindred influences, the sea of Aral and Lake Balkasb are losing their water*, and ths vaat region whioh belongs to their system is becoming a desert. According to Mr. Spalding, this deterioration was probably the cause of the great tnigra- tions which hiatory reoords. Vast multi tudes oame forth from the uuknown east because the lands of their birth wore no longer able to support them ; by long wars they obtained possetMiou of the whole of Europe, which, with its more fertile soil and less warlike population, invited conquest. The region to whioh ths American engineer calls attention is a great basin depressed below the level of the ocean. The lowest parts are occupied by the Caspian Sea, which recoivos, be sides smaller tributaries, the two great rivers, Ural and Volga, whioh drain a large proportion of the central regions of the Russian empire. These rivers have for ages deposited in tbe C ispiau the soil of the regions drained by thsiu. The di mensions of the sea have consequently beoome oontraoted, aad the bottom of what remaina of it baa been raised until very Urge areas are becoming unuaviga- ble. By reason also of the diminution of tbe water spaoe available for evaporation, the surrounding regions are becoming sterile wastes, und commerce diminishes not withstanding the approuch of civiliza tion. The only means of arresting this im placable aotion of nature is to restore to the Caspian its ancient body of waters, and oonrteqnently its ancient depth aud area. This is to bo done by outtiug tbe channel which shall bring iuto it the wa ters of the neighboring Black Hea. The projector wonld make a great cutting, connecting the two seat* upon one level. It is to be premised that the Caspian is considerably lower than tbe Black sea aud tbe Mediterane&n, and, therefore, a con tinuous flow from tho latter into the for mer would ensue npon a communication being made. Mr. tipaldiug anticipates not only a natural but a political revolu tion from this artificial cataract. The force of the water acquired by the plunge wonld effeot a deep exoavation, and iu the end would not only till the baHin of the Caspian to the level of tho Black sea, but would form a magnificent harbor iu the former, unassailable by an enemy, and certain to beoome the emporium of the commerce of Russia aud Western Asia. The author enters into cumulations ak to the movement of the water through suoh a ehannel, aud determine-* that at the end of forty years from the beginning of the work the levels of the two sous would be so nearly uniform that naviga tion of the now channel could begin. This time oonld be shortened to about twenty-fivo years if, npon tbe completion of the work already described, tbe opera tions were to be repeated by connecting the Dod and the Volga. The object of this latter work wonld be to bring tbe waters of tbe flea of Azof to swell the volume discharging into th* Caspian, the current of the Don being reversed. Mr. Spalding mentions a similar work per formed in Amerioa by catting tho ridge of limestones whioh separated the waters of the Cbioago river from those of the ter Mason, who prided himself in the mysteries of the Order. Their so-called “medicine work” is simply the perform ance of a religious ceremeny in which is introduced all the forms derived from Masonry, tradition and other sources. They are grades in rank, or degrees, as iu Masonry, and the ceremonies of intro duction aud advancement to the higher degree are as elaborate and impresaive as any in the world. Livrapool.

Evidently strongly moved by what he hart seen and heard in the Capital of the United States, the correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer graphically photo* graphs tho White House and its notorious occupant, as follows : T wander forth in this magnificent Capital at night, and every imposing edi fice steps iuto my path to tell a story of fraud l They are all monuments of ras cality. I wander throngh the park, won dering how long a great people will pa tiently bear tbe ehame that is npon them. And suddenly I stand in front of the White House. White House, indeed! The windows are dark, and under tho stars tbe famous buildiug stsnds like a great white sepulchre! With* in sleeps the man who is the embodi ment, the unintentional cause, of the de moralization that crept into every branoh of the publio servioe. Sixteen brief years ago an obscure nothing, then spitting tobRCoo juice ou a stove in bis father's ■tore, drinking whiskey and on $1,000 a year. Then came war! He is Colonel, General Grant, silent, obstinate, fortu nate, snccessful. The idol of a people intoxicated with viotory. He is elevated in the Chief Magistracy—as fitted for (he duties of the great office ae a hog for a throne. He has saved the country with hin sword, and be has, therefore, an im perative right to ruin it! To bring shame and disgrace on the Republic at home aud abroad ! Shades of General Washington, Father of Hm Country, founder of the Republic, Amt President of the United States; spirits of Adams, Jefferson, Mon roe; Fathers of '70, look down ou the man that slops around in George Washington's shoes, and think of the President of the United fltates issuing two proclamations extending the boundaries of an Indian Reservation for tho purpose of increas ing the profits of Brother Orville's post- tradernhips!
