HOW THE MONE7 GOES.
How.goes the Money ?—Well,
I’m sure it isn't hard to tell:
It goes for rent and Water-rates,
For,bread aud batter, coal and grates,
Hats, caps, aud carpets, hoops and hose —
And that’s thff way the Money goes!
.%Ilow goes the'Money?—Nay,
Don't every Body krow the way T
It. goes (or bonnets, coats, and capes, ‘
Silks, satins, muslins', velvets, crapes,
Shawls, ribhofis. furs and •‘furbelows—
And tbat'-s the way-the Money goes !
•<po|
How goes the. Money ?—Sure,
I wish the ways were something fewer;
It goes for presents, goes for bets,
For paint, pupmadt, and tau-de-rosc—
And that's the way the Money goes!
r*no# gons'the Money ?—Now,
I’ve scarce begun to mention how;
It goes for laces, festhers, rings,
Toys, dolls—and other hnl.y-thingU igOjmiifl
Whips, w histles, taudies, bells, aud how*—
And that’s the way the Money goes!
How goes the Money ?—Come,
I know itdosent go for rum ;
-It goes for schools and Sabbath-chimes, * .-
It goes for charity—sometimes, r
For missions, and such things as those—
And that’s the way the Money goes!
llow goes the Money ?—There!
I’m out of patience, I declare;
It goes for plays, and diamond-pins,
For public alms, and private sins,
For silly shows—
And that's the way the Money goes!

A WHITES 1H THE SOUTH.
The sixth number of these itiimitablo pa
pers appears in Harper's New MontJJy for
August. In this number the author has got
ten to Chattanooga, on the Tennessee, and
is*very desirous of making a voyage down
tins Tennessee river through the Narrows.—
Hut we will let him toll Ins own story :
On the second night of their voyage onr
travellers retired early and slept soundly,
and on awakening next morning found tho
boat moored at the Chattanooga landing.—
A carriage was procured to convey the ladies
and baggage to “Crutchfield House,” while
the gentlemen followed on frtot. The hotel
swarmed with people arriving and departing
with the trains, east, west, north and sonth,
hurrying to and fro with eager and excited
looks, as if lives, fortunes, and saCred honor
huftg upon the,events of the next itour. AH
the corners and by-places were filled with
groupa in earnest conversation, soma .were
handling bundles of papers, others examin
ing maps. Rolls of bank-notes were exhibit
ed, and net purses with red gold gleaming
through their silken treslies. In title confu
sion* of tongues the ear could catch tle
words, Lots—Stocks—-aQuarter-sectiou—De
pot-Dividends— ‘Township —Railroad—
Terminus-—Ten thousand—Hundred thou
sand—Millions. The Squire, impatient to
get his coffee, peeped into the breakfast
room. The waiters were trading coats.
“I tell yon what—l’ll give you dis cont
<or a dollar and a half and toko your paper
at nine months, or es you like bettfU onq
dollar cash on de button—”

Chattanooga is anew place, apparently
just cut out of-|?ie woSds. ( It has lately sprung
into importance as a point on the great rail
way thoroughfare connecting the Mississippi’
River at Memphis Vith the Atlantic ocean at
Charleston, South Carolina. It contains four
or five* thousand inhabitants, and has some
pretty and subgtantiaLbuildings dotted about
on its straggling and irregular streets:, which
are often interrupted by stumpy fields, poqjls,
and patches of forest timber. Such towns
usually cannot boast of many attractions, oth
er than those of a commercial and specula
tive character; but the site of this place is
associated with many of the most interesting
incidents in the early history of Tennessee,
while the natural beauty of its, surroundings
make it a spot where an artist, would love to
linger. •? • *# *&•**#
It is situated at the mouth of the Chicka
maugua, on the south side of the Tennessee
River, at the point where this stream enters
the Cumberland mountains. Behind the
town rises the impqsingform of the Look
out Mountain, from whose top may lie ob
tained one of the most beautiful views ip all
the West. Below one catches romantic
glimpses o( that savage pass colled the Nar
rows, through which, for a distance of twelve
or fifteen miles, the hitherto quiet and navi
gable river winds foaming, boiling and roar
ing, in its frantic straggles to find an outlet
to the lower t^pntry —an elysium for the
tourist, but a terror to navigators.
The view of the long ranges of grinning
precipices marking the course of the stream,
and stories of danger connected with the
passage, so fired the imaginations of our
travellers, that they determined, if possible,
to make atrip. After many unscccessful
attempts to procure a conveyance and a pilot,
they at length chanced upon a rough Water
man, who promised to take them through in
a row-boat; not, however, without bribes and
persuasions was the promise obtained. The
hour for departure was fixed, and the gentle
men hastened to make preparations for tbo
voyage. The ladies were to remaiii at the
hotel, and the Squire went forthwith to in
form them of the arrangemont, while Larkin
looked about for some boat stores.
At the end of an hour the gentlemen met
at the landing, with their countenances some
what fallen. The ladies had positively re
fused tp be left alone, ill a strange tavern in
a strcufge town.
“If, said the Squire, “ I had ktiowu what
a set of ridiculous, perverse—”
“It makes no difference,” interrupted
Larkin. “The boatman is as drunk as a
fool, and now says lie wont take us; nor is ho
able to do so if he was willing.” ‘
This report the boatman himself presently
verified by staggering tip to the speakers and
inquiring, jf they thought be was going to
ttttejltlß life to satisfy the kurosity of a cou
ple of d—d fools? Larkin answered that,
from appearances, shell a loss would be irre
parable both to liis family Mid society in gen
eral, and, in couseqitencc, they would excuse
him. .
“But,” continued the boatman, “I can
tell you a good story about the first time I
ever went through them* Narrows.”
The artist intimated that, if tlie story was
a good one, li6 would feel compensated for
the disappointment. rafMgi. tin
“This was the way of it,” said the mari
.uer, balancing himself, and looking wise:—
“ There was a man and his family come
from above somewhar, in a flat, bound for
Arkansaw. He was pretty well loaded with
farm stock, women, eluluieri, and truck; tlhd
having heard tell of the Narrows, he was
afeard to go through by himself, and wanted
a pilot. So, after considerin’ a while, I
agreed to through for two dollars.”
“But I thought yon were telling qF the
first time yoU went through?” said Larkin
“So I am, boss 1 if you’ll only let me
talk. I never had been through there, bat
I had heard people talk about the. Skillet, and,
the toleek, and the Bilin’ Pot, anil all that;’
and I thought I could shoot her through, and
if I sunk her I’d lose my money—that’s all.
So we tuck a few drinks and put off, and 1
takes tho steerin"-oar and put her head down,
and lift her rip. Night come on pretty soon,
hut that was all the samp to me; so wo tuck
a few more drinks and let her slide. And we
went over some rough places, an3, afters
while, come to a pretty 8m art current runnin’
smooth. ‘Now she goes it slick as goose
grease!’saysi he tome. So, by-and-by, we
saw lights on the shore, and passing by a
ffiuse where a feUer was playiu’ ‘Old Zip
Coon’ like a saw-mill, and people daDcin.’—
* Here’s good fun to you!’ says he, and we
tuck, another dig. So we went on pretty
sprightly; aud, by jingo! before we got well
out ofsTght and bearin’ of that house we
went past another, whartbey were dancin’
to the same tune. ‘Success to’eml’ says I.
‘Hand us that bottle; while fun fs goin,’ we
might as well have onr share.’ So wo drank
a mouthful, and before we were done talking
about it, we went past another place, fiddlin’,
and dancin’like the rest. ’
“‘Mistnr,’ says be to me, ‘this here’s the
jolliest settlement ever I traveled through—
all agonin’ it to the same tune.’ ‘’Pears to
me,’says I, • I hear another fiddle and fel
lers a laflinand, presently,.sure enough, we
streaked past another house whar they warn
goin’ it a leetle more extravagant thaD the
others—tune about the same. * Mister,’ says
1...... I. .
spoke up : ‘Pilot/ says he,*‘there’s one of
two things—either we're’drunk, or there's
hell's doin’* goin* on thisriver to-night!”—
‘ What time o’nigbt is it?’ says I. /About
two o’clock iu the mornin’ by the stars,’ says
he. ‘ ‘How many houses haviS we pass
ed ?’,- ‘. I’pre counted nine,’ says he, aw'flia
voice began ;to shake a little. ‘Now,’ lays
ha ‘t?nHgbt‘be Hint the hellish thing is a
. follcrin’ of u*.’ • Nine,’ says I. •Is the devil’s
n umber,’ says I, pretty badly skecred; *lf
the thing appears agin, go call your wife, aud
if the cant see it, We’re drunk, certain.’—
* Listen !* says he; • don’t you hear em ? thar’s
the lights! ten times! we’re dmpksore.—
Katy ! Katy! sweet-heart, wake up!
“This time I headed the flat a little in
nearer shore, and we could hear ’em plain,
cussin’ and swearin’. . - . ......
“‘Katy,’ says boss,. ( ,‘<byou see or hear
anything over tliar on shore?’
“‘1 seelights,’ says she, ‘and hear a pas
se) of di-nnkeu boatmen danqitig ‘Old Zip
Cooa.’ M
“I wanted to put in, but boss
but sure as I’m a man, if they’re carrym’ on
at the next house we pass, we'll tie up and
make out the night with’em!’
“In about half an hour, as I expected, we
come upon another spree. !
■“Head her in!’ says he. So we tied up
at the landing, and went in the house. 4 ‘
“Now, stranger, how do you.think it was?
Why, this was old Jack Cogles’ house, down
thar-fornenso the Bilin’Pot, whar some fel
lots and some galls were dancin’* all night;
and we went bilin’ around and around; passin’
by the same place 6ver and over agin!—
Now at fust it come to me like a sort
dreanu then it was all clear; and without
waitin’ to be cussed or laughed at, I streaked
it. But it’s all true, jist as I tdl ye.”

THE INDIAN WAR IN OBEGOH.
Onr Californian files bring us the particu-’
bu sos the engagement in Oregon,
between Col. Steptoe's command and the In
dians. The report that Lieut. Winder, of
Maryland, was among the killed is, we are
pleased to learn, unfounded. The two offi
cers who were slain were Capt. 0. H. P.
Taylor and Lieut. Gaston. Captain Taylor
was a graduate of Welt Point, in the class
of 184 C, and brevet captain “for gallant and
meritorious conduct in conflicts Mex
ico.” It was a few weeks previous that he
returned to Oregon from the Atlantic States
with his wife aud children, who are now
widowed and orphanfed by tliis said affair.—
Lieut. William Gaston was a graduate of
1856. and an officer of great promise.
A letter from Oregon says :
“ Father Joseph, the Occur d’Alene priest,
rode up to Pteptoe just previous to the
onslaught, and told him that the Indians
were exasperated’, and resolved upon figlit
ing, because they had hoard that a road was
to be laid out through their country from
Walla Walla to Fort Benton, and that they
would massacre every white man whq at
tempted to pass through their country on
such a mission. This, then, is the acknowl
edged, ascertained cause of the assault, and
it, is, indisputably, the fixed purpose of tho
Indians to prevent, if possible, auy transit
whatever across that country.” ~ 1
The following letter from an officer enga
ged in the conflict contains fuH derails of the
engagement:
“ On the 6th of June, Col. Steptoe, with
C, E, and H companies of first dragoons, and
seventy-five men of the ninth Infantry, with
two mountain howitzer, left Fort Walla
Walla for Colville. The officers of the com
mand were Col. Steptoe, Captains* Winder,
and Taylor, Lieuts. Wheeler; gemming,
Gaston and Gregg. After marching eight
dayß, we reached the Peiotise river, and
were about passing into the Spokan country,
wbeu wo were iufqrmed by Indians that the
Spokans would resist our entrance into their
country. The Spokans have always been
regarded as friendly to the whites, and when
we left Walla Walla no one thought of hav
ing an encounter with them, or any other
Indians on the march.
“ On Saturday morning, the 10th, on leav
ing camp, we were told that the Spokans had
assembled, aud were ready to -fight ns. Not
believing this, our inarch was continued until
about eleven o’clock, when we found our
selves in“the presence of six hundred war
riors, in war costume. The command was
halted for the purpose of having a talk, in
which the Spokans announced that they had
heard we had gone out for the purpose of
wiping them out, and, if that was the case,
they were ready to fight us, and that we
should not cross the Spokan-river. The In
dians were well mounted, principally armed
with rifles, and were extended along our
fl nk to the distance of one hundred yunk.
After some talk, the Colonel told ps that we
wonld have to fight, and we immediately put
otpojvfea iu a position to move to, hotter
gfound, determined that the Spokans should
fire tho first gun. After marching a mile
we reached a sheet of water. It t was deci
ded to encamp and hold . another* talk with
the Indians. Nothing resulted from tliis but
the most iusulting demonstrations on their
part. Wo dared not ‘dismount, and were
kept on the saddle three hours, until the set
ting df Hie sun dispersed the Indians,-
7 On Monday morning we left camp to re
turn to the Pelouse, marching in the follow
ing order; company Hin advance, C in the
centre, with the packs and E ill the rear.—
At eight o'clock the Indians appelated in
great numbers abonk thp rear of the column,
jusLas
, g ■ 7 **’ * ***J 1
three companies, numbering in all abort one
hundred and ten men, were warmly engaged
with hundred
companies began to move toward the position
i *“iu, ine lfratAuS prcwnig ciosciy upon
them. Accompany E was a
large body i)f Indians got betwcea it atd
my company, so that, having it between two
fires, they could wipe it out at once'. Gas
near enough, and 1 saw be was abort to
charge, I charged with company H, The
result yas Wat our companies met, having
the Indians in a right angle, iu which angle
we left twelve dead Indians.
“ After getting together, we kept up thlf
fight for half an hour, aud again started to
roach the water, moving half a 1 mile under a
constant and raking fire, under which our
comrades, Jjtffcir stiff Gaston, fell. We
finally reached s hill near the water, apd oc
cupied the summit, and the Indians now Jisv
ing completely surrounded it, we dismount
ed and picketed or;r horses close together, on
*he qf The flat inclined summit, and
posted our men around the crest, making
them lie fldl qu the ground, as the Indians
were so closq gnd so dating as to attempt to
charge Jim hill, but, although outnumbering
us eigfit to one, they could not succeed.
“ Toward evening our ammunition began
to give out, and our men, suffering so much
from thirst and fatigue, required all our at
tention to keep them up. To move from one
point to antfther, wo had to crawl on our
hands and knees, amid the bowling of the
Indians, the groans of the dying, and the
whistling.of balls and arrows. We were
kept in this position untit eight o’clock, P.
M., when, as rifghTcame on, it became ap
parent that on the morrow we must “ go uu
der,” and that not one of us would escape.—
Ij was plain that, nearly destitute of amtnu
nition, we were completely surrounded by six
or eight hundred Indians; and most of these
on points which we must pass to get away.—
Therefore, it was determined to run the
gauntlet, so that if possibleaome might es
cape. Abandoning everything, we mounted
and left the hill at nine o'clock, and, after a
ride of ninety miles, mostly at*a gallop and
without rest, we reached Shake river, at Red
Wolf Crossing, the next evening, and were
met by our friends the Nez Farces. We
had two officers, five men, apd three friendly
Indians killed, and ten men wounded ; Set--
gant Ball, of company H, missing. Ttfe ser
geant distinguished himself very much du
ring the action, and we all hope that he will
yet come ill.
“ Capt. Taylor was shot through tlie neck,
and Lieutenant Gaston through the body;
they both fell fighting gallantly. The com
panies fought bravely, like true men. We
brought our horses back in good condition,
except about thirty which were shot during
the figlit. The Indians made no captures.—
Before the battle was near over the Indians
picked up nine of their dead ; how many of
them were kilie 1 is not known, but I can
count fifteen ; they acknowledge having for
ty wounded.”
At the last dates Gd. Hteptoe was it Fort
Walla Walla, waiting sot .reinforcements. —
There have been further.troubles in. the vi-.
cinity of Port Orford ; the Indians had at
tacked a train of pack mules belonging to
the United States, taking fourteen of the
mules and killing one packer. On the oth
er hand, fourteen Indians had been kiiledf
while trying to escape wlieh on the road to a
reservation. .. !

A House Living Tvvp Months Without
Food.— A man named Kirkland, residing on
Centre street, near Seneca, left ibe city about
taro, months ago without giving notice to any
one. On Saturday, Mr. Barker, a wagon maker
on Seneca street, discdVercd that a horse was
in the barn formerly need by Mr. Kirkland.
On entering the stable the horse was found ly,
ing down, and too weak to rise. The animal
bad eaten everything within its reach, gnawed
the wood of the manger and the floor, and iu
its agony bad apparently bitten
all this time the horse, so far as can he ascer
tamed, could have had no access to water or
food. Mr. Barker animal a little
wate and meal, and yesterday it-was still’
alive. We give the facts as they are reported
to us ; but it seems almost incredible that a
horse could live such a Ipngth ot time with
out food or drink*— Buffalo Courier, July 19.

An Idk* of Eternity.—An Orthodox
Yankee expressed himself as follows con
cerning eternity : “Jiternity ! why don’t yon
know the meaning of that word. Nor I
neither hardly, ft is forever nod ever, and
five or si2 everlastings a top of that. You
might place arow of figures from here to stm
set, and cipher them up‘ and it would not be
gin to tell how many %es long eternity is.
Why, my friends, after millions and trillions
of years have passed a way iu the morning
of eternity, it would be a hundred thousand
year* to breakfast time.”
