Brooklyn bails' 59le. TUJESAV EVENING, 1 A new party. The course which the abolition part oi the democratic party will pursue, on beiug thrust out of the chant as part of tho service. Tin's, if well performed, will doubtless prove acceptable to the congregation. It is to be hoped that Mr.

B's good sense wilj lead him to avoid the inouotonous sing song style Of recitation so common in some choirs who attempt this interesting portion of church music The music committee made a mistake in allowing the dismissal of Mr. Fliutoff, whose delightful tonor and refined taste, balanced many deficiencies in othors. The loss of Mrs. F's charming voice is much to be regretted also. "Her rich contralto, full, yet melodious her higher notes, gushing furv'h so unrestrained, clear, and sweet, used to remind ono ol tho bird of song, who Singing startles tho dull night From his watch tower in the skies.

Till tho dappled dawn doth rise." Contracts for Bedford ave. and Pacific street. Aid Cady, from the select committee on this subject, made a long report of the proceedings which have taken place from the inception of those improvements. Aid Cady, from the law made a report upon the same subject, stating that from the minutes of the common council it did not appear that the actiou of the board had been regular, and that the contracts iu point of fact had no legal existence, and that the city is not bound upon them. Some discussion on points or order and in relation to amending the minutes, when the mayor declared tho question before the board was to be formally re cousidcring and rescinding the report of the Street committee which authorised the contracts with Mr.

Bradshaw for Bedford ave. and with Mr. Roberts for Pacific streets. After soma further talk the ayes and noes were takviu on the question as stated by the Mayor aud resulted as follows: ayes Aid.

Thoughts of home and friends crowded into my miud my heart was filled almost to bursting. But I thought I will not die without au effort, I will try to compromise, I can but try. I spoke to him and proffered him the friendship of my heart. He seemed to hesitate, but no answer. I now offered him wine, but it was rejected, I filled a pipe with Kiunakuick and offered it to him this too was rejected.

A half hour or more (it seemed an age) wo gazed upou each other. At length ho seemed seized with some new purpose he grasping his rifle and I my pistols. Suddonly he dropped it again and approaching me said Ke sker tus nio ken (are you mad friend No, I answered. Are you? 1 was, aud when I entered your wigwam 1 came to kill you, but tho Mauitoo has told me to smoke the pipe of peace and make friends." My relief was inexpressible my heart leaped with gladness and my tongue gave utterance to sentiments of heartfelt delight. The chiaf washed his face and repainted it with variegated colors.

We fired off our pieces in the air, shook hauds agaiu and agaiu shouted, leaped and made as much noise aB wild lu diane. A happier man, for the moineut, than I was, could not be found between sunrise and sundown. The chief was ever after my firm friend. T. S.

E. TJtica convention, is shadowed forth in the Globe of this morning. Tiiat paper says that it has never regarded the admission of the Utica delegates as certain, but has always been satisfied that their rejection will lead to the defeat of the Baltimore nominee. Tt then goes on to add that the party advocating the preservation of fteedom in such territory as we may acquire, will surely come into power. If it continues the action of the Baltimore convention will be such as to forco the friends of Jree territory, found in both of the great parties, to unite for the purpose of resisting the aggressions of the slave interest, and thus bring about a reorganization of parlies, we should not complain.

The rejection of the Utica delegates by the convention, and the nomination of a slave holder by the Whig National Convention, would inevitably lead to the formation of a third party, which would, in' all probability, elect a majority of the Electoral college The hope of the Utica men is, therefore, the for matiou of a third party, which is to embrace all the anti slavery wbigs and anti slavery democrats in tho northern states. In other words the formation of a party on the Bingle basis of opposition to slavery' Interesting' to Tax payers. At the last meeting of the New York Common Council, a resolution was passed voting the hospitalities of the city" to General Scott, on his expected arrival in that lax ridden metropolis. A committee of six from each Board was voted to carry out the thing. It is said that one of Scott's own men, when about to be punished for drunkenness and other delinquencies, appealed to the General to pardon him on account of past services.

General," said he, I own I was drunk on duty I don't deny that I deserted my post at night; I acknowledge I have not attended drill lately but, General, one thing I stand upon nobody can deny me that merit have never been absent from mess So, if the honest aldermen of Now York daily violate the law under which they claim their pow ers, if they spend two millions and a half of dollars a year and have the dirtiest and worst managed city in the country, one thing can't be denied, they are always ready to cut and run, whenever a con spieuous public character has the misfortune to visit their city they vote themselves into his company under the plea of tendering him the hospitalities of the city. A junketing excursion, which costs weeks to arrange and pay for, is got up, and for the time they delight themselves with the elevated position into which they have so ingeniously worked themselves. An injunction should be applied for, by some tax payer, to prevent the public money from being paid out for any such purpose. General Conference. Tuesday, May 11.

The committee on missions reported in favor of building a church for Germans at Milwaukee also in favor of organizing an annual conference on the Pacific to be called the Oregon and California conferences. It appeared on the debate on this last resolution that, so far as Oregon is concerned, the principal settlements are in the valley of the Willamette, which is some 30 miles widu and 200 miles in length, exceeding in beauty and fertility auy portion of our country yet known. Iu California there is not a single minister of the gospel of any denominutian and the morals and habits of the people arc, conse quently, deplorable. The resolution declining fraternization with the southern or slave holding church for the present, was passed unanimously. Friday, May 12.

The vote of the several annual conferences on the alteration of the restrictive rule looking to division, was reported and was as follows Conferences. Yeas. Nays.

In the year 1835, I Jefl tho frontier settlements of the mighty west, and established a trading post on one of the tributaries of the great father of waters, among tho Chippewas, Ottawas, and l'ottawatamic lndiaus. My nearest pale face neighbor was 15 miles off, and sometimes the smoke from his wigwam, curliug gracefully towards the heavens, made me feel wolfish.

He was too near ho was en croaching upon my rights. My Indian neighbors were very numerous sometimes as many as 300 were encamped about mo at such times I was at home. If I wanted an Iudian war dance, or a horse race, or any other amusement congenial to my red brothers, I had but to sound the whoop, aud they would be thar, and then the scenes would open rich. Their manuer of trading was rather singular. Af ter the hunting season (for furs) was over, they came in bauds and encamped, and then for a frolic.

The muskrat hunter, with his po kum 6au gun, (tomahawk pipe) would leisurely saunter into tho store, wrapped in his blanket, as stoical and indifferent as though he had no interest at stake, aud his wives following him, loaded down with packs of furs They would drop their packs, and step back. I would overhaul the furs, aud separate the difforeut qualities, step behind the counter, down with the broad cloths, calicoes, and other Indian fixins, measure, tear off, and throw aside goods of all descriptions; jabber French and Indian, and all hands as noisy as jack daws. I have measured and turned off 600 yards of calicoe in four yard strips, aud took all my pay iu muskrats. The beaver hunters, (great men, they,) announce their approach to the village by whooping and yelling in a most frightful manner. You causee them afar off over the prarie, riding towards you at a furious rate, followed by chiefs aud braves, squaws and pappooses, and by innumerable gangs of wolfish dogs.

On they come the gliltoring trappings on their ponoys, the brass bells and ratling trinkets on their leggings, while the gay and gaudy blankets and dresses remind the stranger of the description the knightB of olden times. Arrived at the store with a wild whoop they proclaim their presence. Great warriors an i braves are they. Their iron hearts do not condescend to address you with the common salutations of the day. They must be treated, coaxed and fluttered, aud the pipe of peace and friendship must be presented and each one of the band must have a pull: Then, aud not till then, do their giant aud lofty minds presume to talk of trade and traffic.

The introduction ovor, they enter the store with rapid strides, pace back and forth, puffing volumes of smoke from their long pipes, with a contemptu ous look and gaze around upon the well filled shelves At last outcome the otter and beaver skins. AVhew how they brag and boast; This was caught by me. Shaus buk skum, an ta go, (his viaue.) "I'm a great warrior and brave; if a skulking beaver or otter crosses my trail, he dies. This is the best beaver that was ever caught Shi or kick sc ba, (Ran kakee river) caunot beat it." How much you give?" Fivo dollars." Cho par pish, wah, ty yer, Shaw ne town, uin, we ke (1 will not take it, I'll go to Shawneetown and trade.) An hour passes the skins are bought the money (no barter for such furs) is wrapped in one comer of the blanket. Another big smoke and then the trade.

ed in due form, which they are sure Id pay. I have trusted the Indiana thousands of dollars aud have never lost the first sixpence. Could I say the same by the pale face my heart would beat joyfully. Iu their drunken frolics I was sometimes in great danger. I remember well one morning, when unusually busy, large numbers of Indians, squaws and pappooses had come in from a long hunt aud had bought freely.

They had a keg of whiskey which they obtained from a trader up the river, aud when it was all gone their frolic was not half over. A young chief, sou of a distinguished warrior, aud a near relative of the great Tecumseh, came into tli6 store drunk and in a sad plight. He looked most frightful. He demanded sko ta war bo, (fire water) I had noue. He would take se se pau quet quar war bo, (sweet wine.) I dare not give him any and told him no.

Ho left the store with a fixed aud determined look. Au Iudian boy came in, looked under the counter, Baw the keg of wiue, and went eut. The window was darkened, (an Indian never enters a house withouUfirst looking iu the window) and then the young chief enteredjjfollowed by his young and pretty wife, with an innocent, laughing, and chubby pappoose in her arms. Again he demanded whiskey or wiuo, and drawing himself up to his full height, with a mad and demoniac expression, he said The pale face wigwam is far away across the deep water his wigwam is empty. He has no squaw to sing to him of his deeds of bravery, and strew flowers in his path to the hunting grounds of the Manitoo.

The pale face shall take my squaw, and pappoose she will make him inocasins mend his leggius embroider his blaukets dress his venison and game, and make him happy and my brave young boy, who will bo a warrior and a bravo ero twenty snows shall pass away, shall be his. Take them, pale face, and give mo fire water No I will not, my heart fears the Manitoo. 1 will not give you fire water." Then die, pale faced dog." A large butcher knife was in his belt, he grasped it, beside himself with rage and whiskey, and with a giant's strength hurled it at mo. It passed through my hair and entered the wall behind me. I gave ono jump from behind the counter and had him by the throat, it was but the work of a moment.

I had rolled him over and over out of the store, dowu the steps, his wife sobbing as though her heart would break. I then closed the store, arranged my books aud papers and made ready for the morrow. I knew that unless we could compromise, one of us must die, perhaps both. A long, long night to me. It passed and bb the morning broke the wild war whoops of a thousand voices rung fearfully in my oars.

They were gathering their forces to witness the result of an insult that perhaps would end in blood. At ton o'clock, A. the store was filled with Indians, while from the door I could see them in great numbers. I was alone, no white man or friend to advise or assist me. I had insulted a warrior and a brave aud no one dare take my part.

My two load ed pistols were before me. Silently aud sadly with mv heart beatiug with wild aud learful emotions I grasped them with a death like grasp. The young chief entered, his face was blackened with passion and coal. Revenge was Btainped fearfully in his fiery eyes, while his heavy chest throbbed with ter eiaotious and grasping his rifle, he placed no. himself on bos, ip front of ine with the weapon cocked and ready to were also in his belt, and murder was eviaeu, hurt, and yet I dared not flinch.

I ftlt Cannot a ro engagemcnl bo effected with theso sweet vocalists? At all events, we would suggest tho engagement of Eoinc two or three good singers. It is absurd to suppose that any such will eudiiro the penance of singing in this choir for any length of time, gratuitously. Those who utter good uotes should receive their value. Fire in Aluanv. A lire occurred in Albany yesterday in the.camphiue manufactory of Stephen T.

It should lie remembered that sick headache, in all cases, proceeds from a disordered stomach iind a corrupt state of Ihc blood. H'rigUt's Indian Vegetable Pills are a certain cure for every description of huiuluche, becuuse they cleanse tlie body from those morbid humors which, if confined in the stomach, are the cause ol nausea and sickness, want of appetite, disagreeable taste in the mouth, bad breath, wast of the gums, decayed leeth, and many other distressing cumplaints; and when taken into the circulation, and thrown upon ihe various parts of the body, give rise to every malady incident to man. Four or five of said Indian Vegetable Fills, taken once in tweniyl'onrliours, will in a short lime put a complete slop to sick headache at the same time the digestive organs will be restored to a healthy tone, and the blood so completely purified that sick headache, or disease of any kind, will be in a manner impossible.

The Eulpit No. 2. Reverend E. E. L.

Taylor, Pastor of tho Pierrc pont street Baptist Church, corner of Clinton aud Pierrepont streets, possesses none of thoso prominent points of character which render some men objects of unusual interest and solicitude, aud cause them to staad out in bas relief, as it were, from the crowd. His personal appearance is favorable; his countenance generally mild, intellectual aud handsome He is rather below the average in stature, and somewhat inclined to corpulency from which fact we infer that he does not hold fasting to ho one of tho cardinal virtues that ho is fond of the good things of this life iu the way of edibles, and a little skilled in the gentlemanly science of gastronomy. His mauuers are easy and agreeable his attire neat and becoming aud he evinces much taste iu dress, aud great care for the outward man. Mr. Taylor does not, however, excel as a public speaker, and never will attain great eminence iu that department of his profession, unless he has sufficient ambition and perseverance to emulate the example of Demosthenes, in overcoming great natural defects.

Mr. T's knowledge of the art of elocution is either very deficient, or he does not care to make use of it, for when impassioned and excited, as he ofien is, and wishing to infuse unusual forco and feeling into a passage, be almost always commeuces it when his lungs are exhausted, and continues without respiring, until there is hardly sufficient air in his chest to give him power to articulate the consequence of which is, that instead of a clear, distinct enunciation of his words, they arc strung together, and run iuto each other, after tho manner of old fashioned singers a sad fault, which should be immediately corrected. Other faults Mr. T. has, which may, and should be cured without delay one of which is, tho mispronunciation of certain words, and the occasional uugrammalical construction of a sentence.

This is wholly the result of negligence, aud is inexcusable' Wo hold it to be the duty of every ministernot only to teach virtue nnH niotr Knt io nt least try his example, the readiug and speaking of our language correctly. Mr. T's knowledge of man is not profound indeed, he is but little acquainted with the ordinary every day affairs of life, although a scholar of considerable attainment. His success in the ministry has, notwithstanding the defects to which we have alluded, been uncommonly good. The church over which he became pastor a few years since then weak both in numbers and wealth, has become one of the largest in the State.

His congregation have erected him a beautiful house of worship, aud displayed in the style of architecture, and in the plau of the building, much more taste than is usual for that denomination. Tho interior is particularly worthy of commendation. In private life Mr. T. is a highly worthy, and strictly honorable man.

He is kind, courteous, and obliging; is generous, and has liberal and enlarged views, and the ingredient of meanuesshas uo place in his compositiou. The music has for a long time been little, but "intolerable noise," from which one, possessed of a spark of musical taste, must have "fled affrighted." We rejoice that the church has lately secured the services of Mr. Bard as conductor. Mr. 15.

has a tolerable baritone voice, but unsteady at times, as though from nervousness. There is manifest a decided improvement in the singing, 6ince lie has taken charge, although tho herculean task of cleaning the augeau stable must have been light compared with the labor of attempting to produce a coiicurd of sweet sounds," from the materials at present under his cuntrol. Tho choir is not deficiont iu numbers. Tho soprano voices are of a weak inferior quality. The alto voices are better.

These voices are naturally good, but are totally uncultivated, aud need much training. A common fault is strikingly perceptible in the teuor, namely, uncertainty of touo. 'One or two voices seem to be quito uuablo to keep up to the pitch Perhaps such might find their truo position in the bass. Certainly a little care and practice would be beneficial. The voices wo allude to are not unpleasant when kept iu proper compass.

We wish some of the gentlemen who sing bass could only hear themselves as others hear them for a short time. They mistake noise for music ar.d laboring under this, by no means uncommon illusion, they set themselves deliberately at work to 7iare as much noise as possible, attacking their music with a fury perfectly appalling. One voice iu particular we have noticed, which neither extremely sweet nor harmonious, is badly addicted to this fault. A little moderation, if you please, gentlemen. The bass, however, is not all bad, there bcincj some good voices on that part one in particular, wo have noticed, which is not only good, but wheh the owner uses correctly, aud with much taste.

The orgau, recently finished, is a beaulilul instrument, aud scarcely inferior in tone to any iu the city. The manner in which it is played cannot be spoken of very highly. The organist isnotdelicient in mechanical execution. On the contrary, every note is correctly touched but something inoie is ne. ceBsary to constitute an effective performer such as a due discrimination of tho intent of tho composer, proper attention to the sentiment of the hymn, good taste and judgment, without which, the playing, bow ever correct, will always provo tame and spiritless, nut a whit superior to the efforts of those artisu who daily perambulate our sticots, and for a moderate compensation, exhibit their rnusics.1 abilities hy furring a crank.

I he telegraphic report from St. Louis, published eight or ten days ago, stating that Benton, the democratic candidate for superintendent of education, had been defeated by Harlan, federalist, turns out to be a rumor. The Iowa Gazette gives the official result thus Benton, 10G2 Harlan, 1845 dem. maj. 17.

The bold, independent, and straight forward loiter ol Gen. Worth, has stirred up the whig papers amazingly. The contracts. The common council had a tug at the contracts last evening and disappointed all the reasonable expectations of their friends by adhering to tho corrupt and depr ived course which they had commenced. The law committee reported that the contracts were illegal and not binding, but the political mauagera were not deterred from settling off their political obligations by this stone thus thrown in their path.

They voted to contract with Mr. Bradshaw for Bedford avenue at 4 88 per foot being just one quarter more than the bid of Gas coigne, ($3 22) and tried very hard to drill their men into an agreement with Roberts but this, after a long struggle, failed, being voted down, 9 to 7. We shall have something to say about this matter hereafter. The Detroit fire was very destructive. Every thing from the Advertiser buildings on Jefferson avenue to the Congregational church is gone, and down to the river.

At least three hundred families are burned out. Wales' Hotel, formerly the American, and Brady's Temperance house, are burned to the ground. The Advertiser office is burned out buildings greatly damaged type, nearly all jsavud. The fire was got under about 3 P. M.

on the 9lh iust. It was stopped at Baubein street. Seventy buildings are in ruins, and ihf las is estimated at $200,000. The Aoe or Advancement Last night the Commou Council advanced the salary of Dr. Goodrich from 100 up to 500.

The estimates for the year also show tht our common council go in for advancement..
