'TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR. VOLU3IE VII. NUMBER 10

majo3 xiocs-wir.a. We regret to notice thru our tvpe

Uid injustice to the Major's last. The most glaring of the errors committed, however such as "four day ago, lor "four years ago," we presume would bs immediately noted by the rekder as an error in print for the Major never makes mistakes as to the dat;s and facts, (unless they b wilful ones.) All we can say about it is, if any future oversight on our part ehouli draw from the Major as good a story, by way of episode, as is contained in the following letter, we shant regret it. Xigh the Wreck of (he Two rollics. ? Kockaway, L. I., Sept. 16 1N37. 3 Tj the Editors cf the .V. Y. Daily Expred. I got one of your papers in which you printed my last letter to "Uncle San," and when readin on't, it was fortunate for you that you was 20 miles od", for I never did see sich 'tarnal work, as you made of some parts of my letter. Ilowsever, all I've got to say about it is, if folks who read my letter in print, find any tiling in em that don't read smooth, and ain't correct as to dates and facts, they may set it down agin the printers. It was jest so once with a young doctor, a friend of mine, in the Colore times. He writ a long letter once, about how he cured folks by giving Calomel, he writ "Calomel in doses very minute,"- and the pri?iters put it in print "Calomel in does every minute." Up went Calomel among the I'othecaryes and down went the poor sick folks. It warn't the Doctor's fault, for it was all owinto the printers, and e hf.Ie V." Now'j-ifors I trust you with other matters, I'll givo you the printen of a story I've pot to tell and you may stick as many and O's ;md l's into it as yon please, and 1 don't cue what von make ca't so long as f lks take the ni ,';r wit and : areni on f. it is a stnrv auout " ic::t Sum,'' and some of his t apers among the tape women loiiv. "Uncle Sam" you know, always was x sociable kind of critter, and from his iirst comin into life, never could get along well without havin his hull family about him, all on'em given hi:n "a boost up the tree," but, "Uncle Sam" found, as most folks do, afore they get gray, that unless he took a wife to take care of his buttons and keep things slich'd about house he would get into trouble and so forth. 'Well, afier trvin various plans and seem a good deal of trouble one way and another, he took advice some twenty years ago, and got married to asmoothe 1i:;et quaker Lady, worth 28 millions of dollars and as Uncle Sam w as consi leiabie liberal in his way he put into the family stock 7 millions of dollars; (not in the "rale grit," however, but what lie said trail was jist as good as "grit"' rr.d so together they had 35 million.. 11, '.5 millions was no tni'.e, and things wt-r.t on smoothe and !ick for nigh upon two years, and every body said at home and 3' 'road, there r.dvcr was a happier couple. Uncle Sam's wife did all a wife could do, and tho' Uncle Sam would once and a while, sircll i;p and talk bio-, his wife raid nothin, hut kept etitehinuphisbrcech.es when he'd split 'em and sew on buttons when he twich'd 'em ofT. Hut by and by "Uncle Sam" got mixin up with odd company, and among other tilings, got a kink in his head out of I'anny Wright's doctrines, that a man of so much importance hadn't ouht u stick to one wife, but have as many us the great M pavs Uiv:!e Sam. "I'm rt.'. "I swow," a good mind to try it:" and so no taut d to other foitvs about it, and to rights tha gaiis got rights the notion too; and then "Uncle Sam" got one Amos Kindle to go round and sound abou.. vid see if the galls racket," and he comu ha .vouhl stand the :k, and says he, "Uncle Sim, there's no mist ike about it; and more v.vxn you can shake a e'.i'k at: and sure eo-v.sgh, just then the palls all havin got ( A e notim. set to they prais ed up "Uncle Sam," and abused his good old quaker wife 0 shocking! there's no teliin wuat luev nuten t sav; and among other thing:' they said tliaf'Uncle Sam's V, lfe was 1 sdew:: you dont say so'.! and ' -, marcy on us!!! Well the next thing we see of Uncle Sam M as, he look'd as l'.'.e as a fid tllo ru!li8 round both eends of his shirt and such a canarin as lis cut among his new wives fvr a spell, never was seen afore and sich frolics!! and all his old cronies as busy as he was among 'em' till some folks begun to wink and whisper "that Uncle Sam ivat m liberal he had wives enuf 'for himself and friends. Things went on thus for about three vcar?. when "Uncle Sam" began (as most fol'.s do, when they get too much of a good thing") to smell and feel trouble; and jest then I got back from foreign parts, and met Uncle Sam." r.n 1 if it had not ben for his hem my own Hood relation and knowin him and lovin him, in any shape, as I do niv own la-.uer or mottier, l never would have known him at 11. Whv ' says I. 'Uncle Sa;n, is this you?' avs I I don't know, M-jor. ' savs he: 'but ythy do you ask don't I look as natral as ever!' says he. And th.Te he stood holdin his breeches up with both hands, rnd his elbows both torn out and a dirtv shirt sleeve peepin through, and holes in his ?tockin'. and his shins all pfaitertJ over. "Why," mti I, "Ur?I

what on airilk ails you.' Come," says I, "give me your hand my old friend, and iet ns talk it all over together." "I am sorry, Major," says he, I cant shake hands

with vou jest now my nanus are busy, says lie. "What," says I "holdin the raonev ave, Uncle Sam both hands full, as usual," says I. '.Not exactly, Major,' says he; and with that lie cum up ctose to me, and whispered in my ear, "I am in a 'bad box,' "Major," says he, "I have so many wives, I am t got a button lclt lor my suspenders they are all of!'." "Do tell now," says I, "I want to know!!!" It's true," savs he, "and you mar see for your self." And with that 1 look"d and sure enuf, there never wis a man in sich pickle. Well, rays I, "Uncle Sam" this comes from folks given you bad advice or ra ther by your not taken good advice. You forget, savs I, one fact, and that it was intended that your family matters should be regelated on the same plan of every other well regelated family and that tho' yoars is the General Government family, it was intended to be regelated jest on the same plan as the family of the humblest of "your mailers," and there, says I, was the mother n it of the thing in the beginnin." What "masters?" says he spunkin up and tryin to swell (but taken care to hold on to his breeches! "who are my "masters?" says I "Whv "the pccjJt" and if you had stuck to the ru'e they made for the regelating of your family, you would not now be in your present condition." "Now" says I "Uncle Sam there is but one way that I can see for you to take and that is for you to call all your young women about you and tell 'em that you cant have but one wife and they must git husbands each in their own States." Here Uncle Sam shook his head and looked considerable sad "I am a fraid Major" says he, its too late was an eav ob to trtt rid ot out wife. but to ret rid of so many all at once. I am i 1 . . afraid 1 shall git spank d as red as a cherry." Never mind that," says I, "you'll rrit no more than you desarve if vou do. folks that dance must pay the fiddler," says I, "Uncle Sam." "But" says he "Major must I divorce them all?" 'No,' says I, "there is no divorce in themstter, you can t do tnat unless you can prove crim. con.; that's the Law," says I. "Well ran" say he, "I can prove that the l ost Ojjiee the Land OJiee, and Amos " "Hush." says I, "Uncle Sam. dent talk, so, for it is an olJ story in all countries, that a man who has more than one wife, is a bigger fool than his friends, and has more friends than buttons. Now dont say any thing more about it. You have got in a scrape, and the best way is to git out on't. You'll find that your young wives will be as glad to git rid of vou, as you will be to git rid of them. Hut you mus'r.t talk of divorce, or they'll bring you to the proof, and show that you first came a courtin. And by the time you prove guilt on any 'on cm, they'll git you "on the hip," and keep you there too, says J; "Now look at your 1 . -.1 eourtin, ana compare it wnn wnai 11 was its a sad change, savs I, "Uncle cam, aint it? however," savs I, "my old friend vou have had a rare frolic, and this is the eend on't and nrettv much the eend of all frolics." "Now ' says I "we must go and see what can be done with the old Wife I'll bo bound" says I, "she is as sound as ever she was, and not the worse for having taken shelter in her old native State of Pennsylvany. I'll go on first," savs I, "Uncle Sam, and tell her to git her buttons and si pe ready for you, and il I don't miss mv guess, you will in a few weeks look as cherk agin as a hoy, and as she is a good natured critur and likes to see all hannv about her. she will do all she r 1 j can to provide for the young women you you have been galavantin with of late, tor she thinks you iore to blame titan tney be. And then, say I, "Uncle Sam when all git slick'd up, and von git all your buttons sew'd on; vou will have spare h-nd always ready to welcome a friend or knock down an enemy. At present, savs I, "Uncle fvun, vou are "hum-buz'd;" And with that Unci Sam he twich'd up his breeches, and spunk'd up considerable, and wa moved on toget ier. I'll tell the balance of this jtorv another time. Your Friend, J. DOWNING, Major, Downingville Militia, 2nd Braigade. Wo never knew exactly before the that word, Ilumactual meaning ol bughi." cor.Kr.srosDnxrx of the sr. tons rkitp ;',,.,..-... X,-nf. is. iK.tr. Messrs. Uditors: I have just landed here from the S. IU Mountaineer on which, you know, Black Hawk, Keokuk and twenty-live or thirty of their braves of the Sac and Vox tribes, came passengers. They are hastening on to Washington, and I hear the constant inquiry made, for what purpose? The answers given are numerous. One is. mat me Government desires a meeting of these two tribes, at Washington, with the Sioux and Iowas (or Ioways) that their ancient enmities may be buried, and mutual peace and friendship restored. Hut this cannot bo elTce ted to any extent for

the condition and disposition of the Sioux tribe is such, that no lasting arrangement of peace can be effected, unless Government stations a line of posts along the whole extent of the Sac and Fox boundary. Another reason given is that Gov

ernment wishes to4treat with them for more lands! But I cannot think this the case, for they already openly declare that the Gov ernment "has lied to thera, and that they will sell no more lands until those already sold are paid for. I see that their confidence is exceedingly impaired in the promises of Government, which vou know, they have had much reason forj and wnicn, indeed, should be held in more sacred observance by us. On thejjgoods taken there some weeks ago by some merchants who no doubt, wanted to turn the profit to their own ac count, they were asked an hundred pen cent, higher than tho tame articles could! be purchased of their own traders! You have already noticed this disgraceful shift on tho part of our Government officers' ind as the Indians have not received their last vear's pav nor many of their horses, &c. I hope you will reiterate the injustice done to our public faith, until the poor Indian shall receive his just rewards. My belief is, that this visit on their part to the eat ot Government' is to inquire for themselves, personally, further into the ause of this shameful failure to meet our engaguments. Look at the sum thus wasted in conse quence! The fare of these thirty-one In dians from St. Louis to Pittsburgh, is $778, besides the expenses of the Agents, Interpreters, fcc. So that from the time of leaving their homes, until they return several thousand dollars ire ronsumed and all at the expense- of the Government! Would it not have been wisdom in the Agents of Government to have tried its credit at some "shaving shop" and thus have raised the money at a sacrifice rath er than' carry out this system of child's play? The company of mounted Dragoons which lately set out from St. Louis for Florida, have just passed this place. Many of them are sick having exhausted their high tone of martial courage and physical strength before crossing the "tip end" of Illinois! This you will readily comprehend, from the eatr and crrarc of manner which many of them assumed on horseback, before leaving our city: And how could it ba otherwise! for there was such a mixi lg up of 'Pukes' 'Suck ers Germans, roles and Spaniards each anxious to out do the other in mili tary exploit, or in tho excess of the bottle until perfect jargoon has bsen the result. Col. Twiggs left here sick and discour aged with his prospects of doing eiiher his country service or his name credit, after so long a travel and with such an admixture of material as composed the com pany under his command. A ery many of the horscswere giving out even this short distance of travel and were sold and exchanged at enormous sacrifices. My word for it this new mova will prove a complete failure. Nor will the Florida AVar tho two years war rrilh a hem d fid of Indians be terminated, until the brave ones of Ken tucky and Tennessee simultaneously turn out determined to scour the swamps of Florida, until every Indian is willing to come in and lay down his weapons of rebellion. When I saw the brave Sacs and Foxes, on arriving at Paducah, Ky., shut themselves up in their rooms and the social hall from the very dread they entertained of Kentucky courage and ferocity, I nover before so forcibly realized the consternation they must carry into the field of at; enemy. Wherever I go, the president's Message is all talk' and great solicitude is expressed to know how it is received by the St. Louisans. There were a hundred passengers on our boat and among all I have met elsewhere the last four clays, I have not heard one solitary individual express any other than sentiments of dis pleasure at the ruinous beating of the document. Nothing short of a volcanic oilt-pour-ing of the stilled energies of an abused people, will be able to wrest the control of our financial affairs from the grasp of the President and his favorite satihtes, and create order and harmony from the chaos that now engulph the affairs of the whole people and nation. P. S. In the latd statement you published of the exhibit of the Shnnmeetown Bank, you make its very judicious and economical managers rather extravagant in the eyes of your readers. Their incidental expenses, instead of being 9075, are only S'J0,75 cts. RVonr Children. Sit down among your little children, and let me say a word to you about fami ly rovcrnment. We good people of America, in our rage for self Government are in danger of not governing ourselves. Our lads grow up insubordinate; finding out to our and their cost; that "it is a free country." An English traveller could find no boys in the United States; all bebg either childten or men. The

evil is undeniably un the increase. Parents are abandoning the rein; and when once this shall become universal all sorts of Government but despotism will be impracticable. Take that forward child in hand at once or you will soon hive to be his suppliant, rather than his guide. The old way per

haps too rugged, where every thing accomplished by mere dint of authority; but the new way is as bad on the other side; no man is reduced to the necessity of choosing an extreme. AVe often visit houses where the parents seem to be mere advisory attendants, with a painful sinecure. Let such hear the words of a wise Congressman of New Jersey, and a signer of the declaration. "There is not a moie disgusting sight than the impotent rage of a parent who has no authority. Among the lower ranks of people, w ho under no restrants from decency, you mar sometimes see a father or mother running out into the street after a child who is fled from them with looks of fury and words of execration, and they are( often stupid enough to imagine that neighbors or passengers will approve them in their conduct, though in fact it fills every beholder with horror." I am afraid none of us need go many rods from home to witness the like. What is commonly administered ss reproof is often worse than nothing. Scolding rebukes are like scalding portions; they injure the patient. And angry chistisement is little better than oil on the fire. Not long since I was passing by the rail road from Newark to New York. The train of cars pursued its furious way immediately by the door of a low "shanty" from which a small child innocently issued; crossing the track before us just in time to escape being crushed by the locomotive. AVe all looked out with shuddering, when lo! the sturdy mother more full of anger than alarm, strode forth, and seizing the poor infant, which had etrayed only in consequence of her own negligence gave it a summary and violent correction. Inference! parents often deserve the strokes they give. Implicit obedience tnd that without question, expostulation, or delay, is the keystone of the family arch. This is perfectly consistent with the utmost affection and should be enforced from the beginning and absolutly. The philosopher whom I cited above, says the parental itilhority; 'I would 'have it early that it msy absolute, and absolute that it may not be severe. It holds universally in families and schools, and even the greater bodies of men tho army and navy, and those who keep the strictsst discipline give tho fewest strokes.' Some parsnts seem to imgine that their failures in this kind arise from the want of a certain mysterieus knack, of which they conceive themselves to be destitute. There is such a nack, but it is as much within reach as the nack of driving a horse and chaise or handling a knife and lorx ana win never oe got ty yawning ovar it. Not only love your children, but show that you lovo them, not bv merelv fond ling and kissing them, but by being always open to their approaches. Uerc is 1 man who drives hia children out of his shop because they pester him; here is another who ij always too busr to give them a good word. Now I would gladly loam of those penny-wise and pound-foolish fathers, what work they ever expect to turn out which shall equal in importance the children who are now taking their mould for life. Hapless is that child which is forced to seek for companions more acceessible and winning than its father or its mother. You may observe that when a workingman epends his leisure hours abroad, it is at the expense of his family. AVhile he is at the club or the tavern, his boy or girl is seeking out-of-dooi connections. The great school or juvenile vice is in the street. Here the urchin while he 'knuckles down at taw,' learns the vulgar oath, or the putrid obscenity. For one lesson at the fireside he has a dozen in the kennel. Ileie are scattered seeds of falsehood, gambling, theft, and violence. I pray you as you love your own flesh and blood, make your children cling to the hearth stone. JjOve home yourseii; si?'.& vour roots deeply amonj your domestic treasures; set an example in this, as in all things which your offspring may follow. The garden plant seems to hare r.ecomplished its great work, and is content to wither, when it has matured the fruit for the noxt race: learn a lesson from the plant.

The government is now acknowledged, by the supporters of the administration, not only to he on the hrink of bankruptcy, but actually IXSOLVKXT. It appear? from the proceedings ofConrees, that Sihis Wright, the "conscience keeper" of the President, proclaimed in the iScnate on Saturday last, that the Secretary of the Treasury had informed him that the government had rim out of funds; and that unle the people's representatives offered them immediate relief, in FirTl'EN DAYS from that time, they would be unable to pay tho.e to whom the gov ernment was indebted. hat a commen tary, thin, on the erperi.nent cf the "old Hero," recommended and supported by Martin Van Bursn.

A difficulty arose between Captain C'rosly, of the steamboat Galenian, and one of the deck passengers. Capt. C. drew a Bowie knife, and made a pass at the throat of the passenger, which failed to do any harm, and the Captain then ordered him to leave his boat. The man went on board to get his baggags and the Captain immediately sought th cabin for a pistol. As the passenger ws about leaving the boat, the Captain pre

sented a pistol to his breast which snapped. Instantly the enraged and wronged individual seized Captain Crosley by the throa and brought him to the ground when hi drew a dirk, and stnbbed him eight or then times in the breast, each, blow driving th weapon into hia body up to the hilt! The Captain expired in m few minutes. The passsnger was arrested, carried to rafel:ez, tried and acquitted. Yhata melancholy commentary upon the frequent use of deadly weapons! ricayunt. rrom the X"ew York Ccu. and Enq. The Ssrgeant-?t-Arms is seen, almost dailv, parading the House with a bag of gold paying the members. Contrast this with the f-rct, that the pensioners of the) revolutionary war were paid last week their miserable pittance in the most worth less tzzs. IS'o matter what you hear to the cor.irarr, I repeat, and challenge con tradiction, that the revolutionary pension ers in this city were paid their pittance ir paper rags, and although they solicited r a lew dollars n specie, it was re fused. I conversed this morning writ one of them, in his eighty-fourth yesr, who was thus treated, and thus uuder the eyes of the President and his Cabinet. It is in this way that Mr. an lluren evinces his regard for the helpless, bro ken down, unprotected war worn soldier. while he and his associates fare sumtuouslv on the bountv of tho Government. While such shamelees abuses are per mitted to txi.t, prate not to me about the "ncn against tbe poor. It is the Jefuitical elang of the most profligate hypocrites. AX OBSERVE!?. . "It is fortunste for the Banks thst GenJ Jiekson's term of office expired before the suspension of specie psyments ococcurred, or he might again, in a fit of patriotic self-dsvction, have declared mr tisl law, ordered his marshals to hare rncntercd the I'eposi'.e Binks. taken tha people's money, placed it in the Treasury and thus restored, as he might think, tho balance cf thn Constitution." The above is from the TVinchesfer Virginian, a leading Van Huron organ, :md tho whole tenor of the article, from which the paragraph is taken, shews, that the editor intends to signify his full approbation of the course, which he intimates that Gen. Jackson would have adopted. We have no doubt, that, if the President had adopted that course, the mass of the party would have approved it. If that functionary had declared martial law and sent forth his armed troops to break open and rob the banks, the stipendiary presjna would have hailed tho act with approbation and applause. )oes the Virginian mean fo intimf, that Mr. Van lluren, us a faithful treader in the fot ereps, is bound to adopt ths measure in question! hov.
