We hear no more the clanging hoof, And the stage coach rattling by, For the steam king rules the travel world, And the old-pike's left to die. The grass crerps oVr the flinty path, . And the stealthy daii'S f teal. Where once the stage-horse, day by day, Lifted his iron heel. U"o moro the weary stager dreads The toil of the coming morn ; . , : N more the bustling landlord runs j At the sound of the ' "echoing hrn For the du?t li"g still njion the roa;I. And the bright-cyed children pt.y, Where once the clattering hoof and wheel Kattled along the way. Kotnore we hear the cr.inUing whip, And the strong wheel's rumbling sound; But ah ! the water drives u on, And an iron horse is found ! The coach stands ruling -in the yad, The borso has sought the plow ; We have spanned the world with an iron rail, And the steam king rules Us nor. The old turnpike in a pike no more, Wide open ftands the Rate, We hare made ns a road for our horses to stride, And we ride at a flying gait ; We have SUed the va!JcJ and leveled the bill And tunneled the mountain's jidf, And around the rousrh crag's dizzy verge Fearless now. we ride. , - On on on with a haughty front, A pnff. a shriok and a bound ; While the tardy eehot'S wko taw late To echo back the sound ; " And the old pike road i left alone, And the stager. seek the plow j Wc have circled the world with an iron rail. And the steam king rules ns now. White -Mau's 'Party." A correspondent of the "Wilmington (DcV) Commercial says a committee of the troubled faithful recently called on Senator Saulsbury, in Washington, to obtain their orders and the. old gentle man sufficiently .-comprehended the sit uation to pooh pooh their idea of divide ing the negro vote. By the muttering of the Democracy here one would think that the old man's advice was being fol lowed in Oregon. This is tho way he is reported to have reassured them : 4Wc can't get the nigger vote. The time between this and the election is too short to pull the wool over their eyes. They have got just ns much sense about voting as you and I have, and itV no -use talking. I've lived among them all my life was raised with them and used to own 'em, and I tell you they have got too much sense to vote with ns next Fall. They won't do it. ' I'll tell you what to do go home and holler, 'While Man's Party? That's our holt.

To honor merit is tho crow ning beau ty of greatness. Hardly had the Amer ican people recovered from the horror of that assassination which struck down Abraham Lincoln than they applied themselves to the task of raising a sum sufficient to erect, at Springfield, Illin ois, a bronze monument which should be rorthy of the man whose name is written side by side with that of Wash ington. The commission being thrown open to competition, 32 designs were presented, and the honor of preference was bestowed upon that of" Mr. Larkin G. Mead, an American sculptor, whom the Italian School, the School of Mich ael Angelo and of Canova, reckons among its pupils. Wc visited, a short time since, the studio of Mr. Mead, and was struct by tha manly and com," manding figure of the President, through vh sc noble and majestic countenance Chines the great mind which conceived and ultimatcd the liberty of slaves The statue, colossal in size, and stand ing erect upon the monument, holds in the left hand a scroll, upon which is written 'KmaHeipntion," and in the right the peu with which Abraham Lincoln .erased fryin the page of human history the disgrace of slavery. As a symbol of the Union to which ho dedi eat oil his life, there stands at the side of the statue the consular fasces, around which is thrown the glorious banner of the Republic. At the foot of the Pisces rests a crown of laurel. At the angles of the nnmument are placed four groups, representing cavalry, infantry, artillery and the tint inc. The tale n with which Mr. Mead has design 1 the monument and .the boldness with which he ha modeled this colossal statue, reveal in him., beyond - doubt a profound know ledge of his art. We feel sure that all will admire the work of Mr. Mead, and will render homage to the memory of Abrahim Lincoln, who' is no more a citizen of America, but a citizen of the whole world a glory to humanity. Do They Mean Wart Dispatches somewhat sensational in their character though from .a relia 1c source trom vonnnc tne u emtio city of Utah Territory, indicate (as far a the purchase of arms and materials of war ts concerned) that lingham Y ottng meditates an armed "resistance to the enforcement of the Cull m bill. Gov ernor thacfttT has deliberately an nounced his indention of enforcing whatever laws may be passcl by Con gress affecting the territory within his mrinriifitinn. and it iujv be that liner- ham desires that seme of his pccpl slTould become nmtyrs, in the belief that their blood would bo the seed of hi3 power. There is no doubt that, if he commands the ' Saints to immolate themselves, he will be obeyed. People who listen with attention to a-Mormon prophet who' tells them that he has just had an interview with the Saviour of Mankind, and who believe the story, will do anything that is required of them.. A change is about being made in the troops at Camp Douglas the famous Twelfth Cavalryj being trans ferred therefrom to Montana. Perhaps Brigham will take advantage of the change, and assume command there himself. Forcible resistance is ofi course the sheerest nonsense, and we hardly think that the " President ofi tah" will carry his reported threat into execution. Jlo has his legions cn rolled he has plenty of arms and am munition, but he knows their esaefc number and quantity and they would; not last very Jong in any protracted conflict. Tho God heirs will resist tliej one-man power of Brigham j and tbt prophet will find, at the eleventh hour that the disaffection is stronger, nutner ically, than he has reason: to suppose Governor ShaetTer ibacked by United States omcers who have smelt gunpow dcr, and have no distneiinct on to figh a few more battles for glory's sakep we think they would rather enjoy itj. We shall await further , advices with some degree of curiosity. S. F. Chron icle. Prof. Silliman, of ale College, is famed for the marvelous sesquipedality -as be would call it of his language.

Tho House in Committee of the Whole to-day re duced the tariff on railroad iron frcrai seventy to sixty cents per pound. The Tribune's dispatch says a bill pf ssed tho House for the establishment of a department of jnstice. and is de signed to reduce expenses now incurred b;r extra legal services. It appears the amount paid in 1807, exclusive of tlje amount paid in the Surrutt trial, aggro gited nearly 8100,000. During the period from I8t3l to 1807. the amount p iid Wm. Evarts alone was over $17, 000. In tlio Senate, Williams, from the Committee on Pacific Railroads, report ed a bill with an amendment, to author ise the Southern Minnesota Railroad to cjinrfbct with tho Northern Pacific; also with amendments to the bill to aid the construction of tho Oregon branch of te. Pacific Railroad. In the i House, Losan.frora the Mili tary Committee, Tcportcd adversely on 10 bill permitting retireu army auu avy officers to hold civil office. Tho Senate bill erantin land? to aid in the 'construction of a railroad aod tfchraph: line ftom Portltnd, Oregon. t Astoria and JlcMiuville, excited a ljmg debate. Holman said the bill ap jlropriated 910.000 acres of public land lie had stated on a former occasion that there were 90 bills pending, appro-' rlriatiug over 100,000.000 of acres. He 1 ad since learned that tin estimate i'as far below the reality. Tho num ber of bills pending was over 170, ap propriating over '250,000,000 acres. since the establishment of the Govern- ilieut thcru had been given away"fr purposes of cdueat on 78 acres of pub lic land to 185,000,000 to uild the fortunes of crafty and unscrupulous men. Xo less than 1 50,000,000 acres vere granted to corporations within th- ;st ten years. If that po!iey was con iuued, it would not be a Jong time till .jo public tands. left for homestead and re emptton purposes. icn million teres were taken last year- Smith, o! )rgon, argued in favor of the bill, o? n tho interest of the setilets present iud prospcetrve. At tho close of the lcussion, Hoiman moved to refer, the hill to the Committee on Public Lands. which being negatived by a vote of 75 ko 93, the bill then passed by 97 to G9. Chicago, April 29. A Times Washington special say that the state. rnents sent here relative to the Indian trouble in the notthwest are exaggerat ed and not official. j liicitMoxr, April 29. Thp Supremo Court ofAp pcabs of Virginia his morn ing held tljat tho enabling ict passed by tho Lcg:;lature .was . constitutional, and that Klliion and not Caooon was the lawful 3Iayor of the city, and that all acts of KUison in accordance with State laws arc legal aud binding. Ca hoon.junder his formal ngrecmcnt, will retire from the field and Ellison will remain Mayor. Tho Court is unani mous in tho opinion, which is volumin ous and covers every point raised. This afternoon all tho city property in the possession of Cahoon was tran3 ferrcd to Mayor LUison.

Telcsrr An Inflective Answer As an answer to the charges of "ma liguity and despotisiru" displayed by the radicals in their treatment of the South, let U3 hear what Governor; Alcorn, of Mississippi, who ought to bo good au thority on the subject, has to say. In hi inaugural address he said : When, borno to the earth, I lay prostrate with my kindred of the South, no heel pressed upon my breast, no sword-point pricked jmy throat, no hand tightened the ropci that my own treason had knotted around my neck The Suzerain against whom my people aod myself had raised our hands in re bellion, stood over U3 as wo lay upon the earth, and lifted ht3 visor to tell U3 that he gave us our lives, ur lands, our liberties. I for one gave baek my soul to tho sublime beneficence that I beheld at the moment of supreme apprehension, beaming like a radiancoj of heaven on the face o-4hc Government of our fathers. My heart welled at that in stant to the dimensions of the patriot ism of Henry Clay ; and, knowing no north, no south, no east no wet, re solved henceforth to expiate its past error by a life of devoted love for the Union. And well do Ij know that the generous old Uoipistsj of.. the South who surrendered to overwhelming force with unconqucrcd souhT, will, when th bittcfnefS of submision hhall have pass ed away, stand with m, touched into admiration in every fibro of f heir hearts by a magnificent mercy never shown before by a government since 'established authority first dealt with rebellion after the fierce fashion, of "a fhort shrive and a long rope." How Home 1'eople Marrjv I A younp man meets a pretty face in a baV-room, falls iu lovo with it, court It, marries it, jrors to housekeeping with it, antl 'boast of havinpr a home and a wife to grace it. The cjhnnccs are, nine in ten, that he baa neither. Her pret ty face gets to be an obi story, or be como fatletl, or frectleJ, or fretted. and aa the fco was allj he wantcJ, all be pr.iti 'attention' to, ol he pat np with, all he bargained for, all ho wore to love, honor and protect, he gets f tck of hi trade, knows of a j dozen faces he likes better, gives up Staying at borne evenings consoles himttclf with eigan, oysters and politic, and Iwks upon hi ioiue as a very iodilJercnt boarding- houe.

Another young man becomes en nmoml of a "fortune. V He waits upon it to parties, dances the polka with it, exchanges billet-doux with it, pops the question d it, ects? accepted bv it, takes it to the parson, weds it, calls it '-v.-ife," carries it home, gets lup an establish meot with it, introduces it to his friend?, and sajs he, too, is married' and has got a home. It is false, lie is not married;, ho has no home. And he poon finds it out. IIo is in the wrong box ; but it is too late to get out of it , he might as well hope to get out of his coffin. IIs friends congratulate him, and he has to grin and bear-it. They praise the house, the furniture, the cradle, the new Rible, and bid the "fortune,'1 and he who husbands it, good-morning. As if ho had known a good morning since ho and that gilded fortune were declared to be ona. : Tako another case. A younjj wo man is smitten with a pair of whiskers. Curled hair never before had such charms. Bho sets her cap for them ; they take. The delighted whiskers make an oflfer, proffering themselves both in exchange for one heart. : My tlear miss is overcome with magnantni- ity, closes the bargain, carries home the prize, fshows it to pa and ma, calls her', self engaged to it, thinks there never was such a pair of whiskers. before, and in a few weeks they are married. Mar ried ! Yes, the world calls it so, and so will we. What is the result? A short honeymoon, and then the discov cry that they are as unlike as chalk and cheese, and not to be made one, though all the priests ; in Christendom should pronounce them so. I . ., ' J '.'
