MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLociz. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, but sales could not be effected without a alight reaction in prices. The sales only amounted to 5,000 bales, all of which were taken by the trade. In the Railway Share Market business was quiet without any particular variation in price. The Bank of England Returns published last evening, and completed fur the week ending the 3d instant, are not of a favourable character. It must be recollected that this balance sheet is made up prior to the payment of the January dividend, and the public deposits show a further augmenta tion. Thisis the only satisfactory feature which is presented, for the bullion is smaller, while the re serve of notes has descended to a point that was not at all anticipated. Of course this alteration may be ascribable to the large amount of accommodation that was required on the 3d instant to meet the commercial bills which then arrived at maturity; and also to the large amount of advances which was obtained upon securities. The continuance of the applications for the latter, together with other circumstances, is no doubt the reason which induced the Directors to make the alteration in the rate for such advances on stock to which we adver ted yesterday. Ths effect of that measure will not be very important ; but it has, nevertheless, ex cited considerable discussion, in consequence of the proofs which it affords of the continued pressure on the money market. Amongst other reasons which no doubt influenced the Directors is the gnu' of gold to Paris ; and the Bank of France Returns, which were published yester day, show that, notwithstanding the improvement which has recently been so much talked of, the authorities have still to support the resources of the establishment by purchases of gold in the London market. The principal items of the Return, and the alterations which it exhibits, will be seen by the subjoined table : Active Circulation Increase Bullion 10,182,406 Decrease Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills 786,524 Increase Government Securities Increase Other Securities Increase Notes unemployed Decrease The official return of the exports of the precious metals from the port of London for the week end ing Thursday last is as follows : Gold Coin Silver Coin PP PI „ Bars If PP In the rates at which three months' bills in the chief continental cities were negotiated yesterday afternoon there was no particular variation, but a •light decline took place on Hamburg, and the quotation on Paris ruled firmer. The dollars brought by the last West India steamer have been sold at id. per ounce advance. The bar silver was disposed of at previous rates. A forged certificate of South Australian Copper Mining Company's shares having been presented at the office for registration, the general proprie tary have been invited to send their securites in for examination. In Lombard-street, and at the Bank of England, the demand for money is very active, and full rates are demanded even for the best descriptions of mercantile paper. The wants of the commercial putilic are no doubt urgent, but there can be •no doubt that the measure adopted yesterday by the lank has induced many parties to provide them selves with more capital than they immediately re quire, in expectation of an advance in the mini mum. The English Stock Market is dull, but the un favourable Bank return has had a depressing effect upon values. All things considered, however, the market has been tolerably firm. Consols for money wore NI I, and they are now about 931 to 94, while for the account the present quotation is 94 I. The New 3 per Cents, have been 9441, and the Reduced 934 to 94. Exchequer Bills are is. to 4s. premium, In the Foreign Stook Market business has been very inactive, but rates generally have been de pressed. Mexican are 21g. Russian 41 per Cents. 96k 4. Sardinian 89. Turkish 6 per Cents. 95 1, and the 4 per Cents. 1034 4. Dutch 21 per Cents. are steady at 641, and the 4 per Cents. at 98. the following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 7 ; Mexi can., 21 3 / 4 1; Peruvian, 774 8 3 / 4 ; ditto 3 per Cents., Si 6 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 5 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 8 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 95 7 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40i 41 ; ditto Deferred, 231 4 ; ditto Certific4tes, 5 3 / 4 6 ; ditto Passive, 5 3 / 4 6. A very limited business has been done in the Railway Share Market this morning, and a decline of about I to i per cent. has taken place in quota tions for almost all the principal shares. East Lancashire, Great Western, Lancashire and York shire, South Western, and Midland were about ss. lower ; and North Western, Norfolk and South Western, 10s. to 15s. The East Indian declined 10s., and Grand Trunk of Canada 1/. to 1/. ss. Great Luxembourg and Lombardo-Venetian are steady. The French lines are at nominal rates. • Joint Stock Bank Shares rule very dull, and generally at reduced values. English, Scottish, and Australian, 10s. ; Union of Australia, 10s. London and County advanced ss. In Miscellaneous Shares there is very little alteration to report, but prices rule rather heavy. Peninsular and Oriental Steam have declined about ss.

The following letter from Mr. Archdeacon Denison, relative to his case, appeared in the Union of last night : Sir,—l am advised that, in applying to the Queen's Bench for a mandamus to the Judge of the Court of Appeal of the Province to entertain my appeal, it would be irregular in me to place before the Court of Queen's Bench, by way of affidavit, the wrong which has been done me, under pretence of administration of law, throughout these proceedings. Now, no instance of worse or more flagrant wrong is to be found in the history of our courts of law ; and as it appears to me that, even now, the public are scarcely sensible of the fact, and as, however little many of them may agree with me, they would all desire that I should have a fair trial, I wish to be allowed, as briefly as may be, to place before them in your columns the principal ingredients of which the wrong has been com pounded. The final issue of these proceedings is, no doubt, of great moment to me, because, if adverse, it is my tem poral ruin ; but it is, I apprehend, of much greater moment to the Church of England that false doctrine in respect of the Holy Eucharist should not be established by construction of courts of law, as will be the case if the doctrine of the Court at Bath be allowed to stand. It is again of even greater moment to the com munity at large than to myself that the denial of sub stantial justice—which has, hitherto, boon the rule in these proceedings - should not e-cape exposure and censure at the hands of a higher Court, and general reprobation at the hands of the public. My proposition is, that there has been the show, Lut not the reality, of an inquiry—the pretence, and at the same moment, the refusal of a trial—that the tribunals before which the case has been brought have been wholly unfit to adjudicate upon it—and that there has been no bona fide adjudication, because up to the present time there has been no bona fide hearing. I proceed to set out in detail the proofs of this propo sition : 1. The commission was not constituted upon any just and equitable, or even intelligible, principle ; the con stitution of it was left to the prosecutor, who appears, from the letter of the Archbishop to myself, published in the Times, October 11, 1854, to have been allowed to nominate all the members of it. Upon this it became my duty to challenge every member of the commission, in accordance with an old and acknowledged rule of the law ecclesiastical ; and more particularly the Rev. C. O. Mayne. My chal lenge was disallowed generally and particularly. 2. A hearing was refused me either in person or by counsel, upon the question before the commission. 3. Certain material words were omitted in the finding of the commission, as in charge ; so tbat the doctrine complained of and condemned is not myldoctrine. 4. The commissioners, having found themselves under the necessity of acquitting me of holding any " Romish" doctrine, and particularly the doctrine of transubstantia tion—that is to say, having found themselves under the necessity—and this without bearing me—of acquitting me of everything as alleged against me in respect of the Holy Eucharist, which the Church of England has condemned or censured, proceeded, nevertheless to con demn my teaching in toto, and to affirm that there was thereupon prima facie ground for further proceedings. 6. Under the special and exceptional provisions of the Sd and 4th Vic., c. 86, now applied for the first time, the Archbishop of Canterbury became the President of the Court at Bath. _ I am ready to make oath that, to the best of my know ledge and belief, the archbishop had dec:ared beforehand —i.e., in 1855--;n what manner he should decide the case, and to produce a witness to prove this fact. 6. The Court at Bath refused to hear material evidence disproving the truth of all the several charges against me. 7. As at Clevedon, so at Bath, by the omission of certain material words, the doctrine condemned is not my doctrine. There is even less palliation here for the Court at Bath than for the Commission at Clevedon ; because the words, though omitted in the charge at Clevedon, had been inserted in the criminal articles at Bath. 8. The proceedings at Bath were pressed on through out by the learned assessor, and without interference on the part of any other member of the Court, with the most indecent haste; showing very plainly a foregone conclu sion. 8. The right of appeal, which was never questioned, but rather assumed throughout by the counsel for the prosecution and by the Court at Bath, is now sought to be interfered with on the part of the prosecution, and has actually, at its instance, been denied by judgment of Court of Appeal of the Province; so that I am now compelled to go to the same Court which required the archbishop to constitute his court in the diocese of Bath and Wells, and of which it is impossible to suppose that it, at that time, contemplated any difficulty in the way of the ordinary remedy by appeal, for a mandamus to require the Judge of the Court of Appeal of the Province to entertain my appeal. The interference with the free course of appeal on the part of the prosecution, is the climax of wrong done me under [pretence of law ; and, much as I had been pre pared to expect from the whole character of the pro ceedings against me, I confess myself to have been at this point taken by surprise. I could not have supposed, till now, that all considerations of common fairness and decency could have been so resolutely put out of sight by those who have originated and conducted this prose cution. Certainly, if I bad had the most remote suspicion that difficulties would be thrown in the way of a free and full appeal (or appeals if necessary), so that those very provi sions of the act 3 and 4 Vic., c. 86, which have been made for the protection of the &ensued, should be wrested to his injury, I should have refused to allow any appear ance to be made on my behalf at Bath, and have let judgment go by default ; because, as it was not possible to expect justice at the hands of the Court at Bath, if I had thought that there was any prospect of the law being so wrested as to make the sentence of that Court a final sentence—or even anything more than the sen tence of a Diocesan Court— I could have bad nothing to do with so grievous a mockery of law and justice as that presented by the entire conduct and proceedings of the Court at Bath. The above are the principal, but by no means the only, ingredients of about as hideous an injustice as has ever been sought to be perpetrated under the cover of English, law. I cannot expect that others should feel each and every one of these things as I do myself ; but it is my plain duty to others, no less than to myself, to place them, as th e y are , before the Church and the coin munity. T b e To be judged deprivedto be of unfit my byendoooy court of law—howeverwments, and ranch more, to incompetent—to have cure of souls i n t he Church of Eng land, is doubtless a heavy blow. But it is a small matter when weighed in the balance aga ins t the reproach of distorting a charge—packing a c ourt— refusing a hear ing—wresting a statute—nullify in g a Liturgy —dispa raging !the Scripture—suppressing or rejecting facts— prostituting forms of law, and denying justice.

DEMOLITION or ROCHESTER BRIDGE.—At length the preparations for the destruction of the Old Bridge at Rochester have been perfected by the Royal Engineers, who have for many weeks been engaged in mining opera• tions on the structure, as will be seen from the following memorandum just issued :—" Royal Engineers' Estab lishment, Brompton, Jan. 9, 1857.—Six charges of gun. powder lodged by the Royal Engineers in the Rochester Old Bridge, from which the arches have been removed by manual labour, will be fired simultaneously, by the voltaic battery, , on Tuesd a y nex t, th e 13th instant, about half-past two o clock iu the afternoon ; and the charges in the pier abutment and arch at the Strrood end of the bridge will be bred on Thursday afternoon, the 15th instant, at about half-past three o'clock."

According to the latest advices from Vienna, we learn by the circular addressed by the Arch bishop of Vienna to the clergy of his diocese :- 1. That the Archbishop is empowered by the Pope to remove, "by dispensation," the prohibition of marriage between Catholic and non• Catholic Ctlris• tians. 2. That the dispensation will only be granted when it appears certain that all the issue of a mixed marriage will be educated in the Catholic religion. 3. If the bridegroom, being a non- Catholic, promises to have all his children brought up in the Catholic faith, the priest will perform the marriage ceremony, but if he refuse to give such promise, and his affianced bride per sist in her resolution to enter into a matrimonial engagement with him, then the Papal Brief of May 22, 1841, comes in force, and " the parish priest shall receive the declaration of their resolve to marry in the presence of two witnesses, but shall carefully avoid giving to the act the appearance of an ecclesiastical ceremony." The foregoing archiepiscopal ordinance is of ex treme importance, as it shows that the Concordat and Imperial Patent of Oct. 8, 1856, have not ren dered the union between female Catholics and con scientious male Protestants impossible. THE TURKISH NATION,iL BANK. (From a Correspondent of the Times.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 29. I wrote to you in one of my last letters that the affair of the National Bank had been more vigor ously taken up, and that orders had been given by the Grand Vizier to the commission which was named for this purpose by the late Ministry to do something decisive. This has been attempted, with what success you will see. As was expected, the commission, after a rather stormy discussion, came out the day before yesterday with a new pro ject. All the competitors were summoned to the Porte, called in separately, and each received a copy of the new project. The project says chat the Government, desirous of establishing a bank, will grant an exclusive pri vilege for 30 years for the formation of an Imperial and National Bank. The capital of the bank is to consist of from 10,000,0001. to 12,000,0001. ster ling, of which 8,000,0001. will be appropriated to the redeeming of kaimes ' sahims, and beshliks (paper money and debased currency), and the rest for purposes of commerce, industry, and agricul ture. The statutes of the bank are to be framed after the model of similar banks in France and England. Adopting the principle of fusion, the contractors oblige th3mselves to open subscriptions in England, France, Germany, and Turkey, and leave these lists open and free to everybody in those countries for a certain time. For all the advances which the bank may make to the Government for the above-named purposes, namely, the redeeming of the paper money and of the debased currency, the Government will pay 6 per cent, at par and no commission. The Government is to appoint the governor of the bank and a limited number of directors ; the rest of the directors are to be appointed by the subscribers, in proportion to the sum subscribed by each of the above-named four countries. The contractors are to deposit 200,0001. sterling as a guarantee. Tlie bank is to begin its functions six months after the delivery of the firman. I suppose it will not surprise you to hear that the proposal was received with almost unanimous astonishment. Indeed, three of the competitors, the Ottoman Bank, the agents of the house of Rothschild, and the representatives of the native association, declared immediately that they could not for one moment entertain the proposal. Messrs. Wilkins alone, I hear, gave no decided refusal, and promised to consider the project. The first thing which must strike every one who reads the project is, that the men who conceived it must live in a far more remote fable land, secluded entirely from the rest of the world, and certainly totally ignorant of what is passing in the money market of Europe; for, unless they suppose that the title and privilege of an lmperialßank in Tur key will lend the possessors the magic wand which gilds everthing which it touches, they could not ask the fortunate company to begin its life only with a capital of 10,000,0001. to 12,000,0001. You will know far better than we can here how im possible this would be even with the most favour able conditions; how much less, then with the burdens with which the Imperial and National Bank is to be charged, especially as the mode of raising this large capital is the very way calculated to prevent capitalists from embarking in the enter prise 1 - There would be, perhaps, capitalists willing to advance, under guarantee, to the Turkish Govern ment the sums required for the withdrawal of the debased currency and other purposes, but if these sums are to form part of the capital of the bank the thing becomes different, and I believe that there will be not many who will lend their money under the condition of being obliged to enter into a commercial speculation of the nature of a bank, and to identify themselves with its ups and downs. Then, to oblige the contractors to take upon themselves from the first moment the withdrawal of the paper money and debased currency to the amount of two-thirds of the entire capital before even this capital is got together, is making the bank, so to say, insolvent before it is constituted. Another not less important objection is the 6 per cent. interest, which the Government promises to pay at par and without a guarantee to the bank for the advances made for the withdrawal of the paper currency. Even with a Turkish guarantee, very few will be fool 3 enough to place their money in an enterprise where the greater part of the capital is to be invested at 6 per cent., when they can get 6i per cent. anywhere in Europe. The fact is, the Turks see that Russia gives only 5 per cent. for railways, but they don't see, it seems, that 16,000/. are promised per mile on a road which on an average will cer tainly not cost more than 10,0001. But the most absurd thing is the idea of fusion, as understood by the commission, prescribing to the company where to get their capital, as if it was not enough to let them try whether they can get it at all. There would be perhaps no objection to have a governor or commission appointed to see that the statutes of the bank are exequted ; but how can a company agree to have " the limited" number of directors appointed by the Government, who, igno rant of the a, b, c of finance, would be voting on affairs which " their philosophy never dreamt of ?" Thus it seems to me there is not an article in the project which is not open to the strongest objec tion, and the whole is a valuable, or rather in valuable, specimen of Turkish financial wisdom. The commission seems to think that financial reform may be blown up as suddenly as soap bubbles, instead of understanding that in a country in which such financial disorder exists there must be a moderate beginning.

Among the many little gift books for the holiday season which make their annual appearance with the holly, the etrennes, or the twelfth-cakes, the present elegant little volume is not insignificant. It is called "A Fairy Rhyme for the Fireside," and the introductory sketch informs us that it is a legend of New Year's Eve. The prefatory chap ter is in prose, and presents us to a family group— Mr. Doughty and his son and daughter. Their conversation turns upon the mistletoe, and not withstanding their father's indignation, Frank and Amy become fully convinced that a decided con nection exists between the white berries and the world of fairies. Having arrived at this sage con clusion they proceed to put their ideas on the sub ject into verse, and a short time after they display to the astonished Mr. Doughty a formidable manu script, relating the history of Queen Loota and the Mistletoe. It is a graceful fairy tale, pleasantly told in verse, narrating the endeavours of the kindly spirit to disseminate gladness round the hearths that sheltered the favoured plant. How she gathered her attendant sprites 'together—how she gave them solemn warning to beware of the gloomy spirit that obstructed their endeavours—what suc cess they met, and how the truant fairy became a spider, we leave the reader to learn. Tae follow ing graceful passage is the conclusion of the poem. The speaker is little Minnie, the gatherer of the magic branch, just awoke from a slumber in which the fairies were busy whispering to her : "Sister !" she cried ; " Oh, I have had a dream ; I saw a crowd of creatures, all with wings, About my head ; and, sister, they did seem To whisper in my ear most pretty things ! „ I think I hear their loving voices now, — They seem to flutter still around my brow. " One said, Pair child ! be evermore a child In meekness and in gentleness and truth; Be still, as thou art now, so pure, so mild, And Time shall never rob thee of thy youth Another said, May Care thy bosom spare !' But, Sister, what is Time ? and what is Care ? "Another said, Sweet sleeper, may the grace Of heart and feature which is thine to-day Through Sin or Sorrow never lose its trace, Or suffer early trial, or decay !' And then again she said it o'er and o'er ; Sister, I never heard these things before ! " Another whispered, 'May thy joyful way Be ever sunned by long-enduring love, As true, as fond, and earnest as to-day ; And Death forbear one friendship to remove !' But what is this the pretty Spirit saith ? What is it, darling Sister,—what is Death ?" And loving little Minnie clapped her hands With gushing laughters, while the watchers place The chaplet on her brow, and, 10, she stands Embodied happiness and childish grace ! . . . Must such bright lineaments of Gladness fade ? Life's uses such a thing of light o'ershade ? And thus the New Year dawned upon the Old, And thus those lovers had their wish, and parted.. . We too give place, our halting numbers told, To Darkness and the Cricket, merry-hearted, Whose "cheer-up I cheer-up !" sung with all his might, Makes echo to the pulses of the night. The volume is suitably illustrated on steel by the author, who merits the thanks of all the lovers of fairy lore for his pleasing and appropriate legend. Notices to Correspondents. Houlston and Stone- man. The industrious compiler of this rare compen dium of multifarious information has presented a most interesting and useful store of every-day in formation on all sorts and manners of topics, in a volume of 320 pages, containing 3,050 paragraphs, each of which, on an average, affords editorial an swers to three or four questions, selected from the best authorities in the Weekly Metropolitan Press. As a library, a fireside, or a railway companion, the little book bids fair to become a favourite, in great demand as a pocket-book of practical philosophy, amply realising the assertion in the preface, that "uo Dictionary, no Encyclopedia, no work of Reference whatever, will be found to supply infor mation upon the varied and singular points of inquiry that are crowded into this volume." An elaborate analytical index is prefixed, by which any piece of information in the contents can be found without trouble or delay. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day) COVENT GARDEN.

Fraser, lett Spithead yesterday for Leith Roads. These ships h.►ve only a complement at present of 233, but it is supp sled to be part of the intended system to fill up to 500 from the raw material of the coast, and work it into the perfect seaman. The whole of th►s Coastguard squadron will be under the command of Capt. Charles E'en, 0.8., who will hoist a pendant as commodore of the first clas , , which gives him the pay, table money, and powers of a rear-admiral.

The Arctic ship Resolute remains moored off Chatham dockyard in nearly the same state as when handed over by the American Government, the only persons allowed to go on board being those connected with the dock- yard. Yesterday preparations were commenced for removing her stores into Chatham dockyard. ADVENTURES OF A MORMON SETTLER. (From the Leeds Mercury.) Six years ago a gentleman holding a responsible and lucrative situation on the Midland Railway voluntarily resigned office, against the earnest advice of a directory who valued his services, and, after disposing of houses and other property in Leeds, set out with his wife and family on the :ong ocean and land journey to the Salt Lake, Utah, in company with a large number of Mor mon settlers. Six years' experience brought to a sensitive and intelligent mind a thorough disgust of the Mormons and £f their doctrines and ceremonies. Before pollution had reached the bosom of his own family he resolved to hazard everything and beat a retreat. The difficulties of an escape, even from the wicked scene itself, are many, to say nothing of the perils of the overland jour ney. Money was sent from England ; fortunately, in this instance, it arrived i❑ safe hands, eluding the grasp of the Mormon ohiefs—fiends of the wort description. The journey was commenced, and the following extract gives a fearful picture of the dangers with which it was attended : " St. Louis, United States, Nov. 11, 1856. "My dear Brother—l know it will be joyful news for you to learn that we have all arrived here in safety. Has not the kind providence of Almighty God watched over us in an especial manner t I left England now nearly six years ago, with five children, and encountered inflame able perils by sea, rivers, and land, and not only have all the five children, as well as my dear wife and I, been mercifully spared to return and arrive in a civilised coun try, but we have two more children who were born in the mountains, and who are spared to remind us of our banishment, as it were, or rather transportation from everything we held dear, and that was calculated to smooth the rugged path of life. It is true this penance was self-imposed, but I have confidence that He in whose hands we are, and who leads His shildrer by a way which they knew not, will overrule even this afflic tion, not only for our good, but for the good of all con. Dented with us. That we are His children lam confi dent ; His marvellous loving-kindness and watchful care He has exercised over us abundantly prove it, and I ant determined to trust in Him. " Your prayers have been answered. We have seen perilous tines since I wrote to you from Fort Loramie on the 9th of Sept. We started from there on the morn ing of the 10th ; the c mapany consisted of 3 waggons, with 8 men, 3 women, and 16 children—only mustering 3 guns and a worthless pistol among us. We travelled 5 days and a half making about 125 miles in the time when we met a train of 7 waggons with goods for Salt Lake. The drivers told us that the Chegenne Indians, a very savage tribe, were on the road killing all the whites they could find travelling in small companies or other wise de fenceless, andcommitting all kinds of depredations ; that they had killed A. W. Babitt, the United States Secretary fur Utah', on his way from Washington home, as a'so two men who were travelling with him—viz. Thos. Suther land, once a clerk in the Bank of Ireland, Dablin, and with whom I was particularly intimate (be, like myself, having changed his views with regard to Mormonism, and intending to remove hiJ family as soon aci circum stances would permit), and another man whose name was Nowland. We also learned that they had killed two men named Thomas Margetts and Cowdy, with their wives, and Cowdy's child. These families started from Salt Lake three or four days before us, having joined in the purchase of a light waggon with mules and horses. "I saw Cowdy the day before they Warted grinding coffee for the journey, be and Margetts regretting that my means would not allow me to purchase a horse-team, so that I could travel along with them. They met with a family (or overtook them) travelling from California to the States, with a horse-team, and the two waggons kept companions together until the Indians pounced upon them. This family consisted of a man and his wife and infant, with a young single man as passenger, who happened to be out at the time hunting buffalo, and who finally e‘caped to Fort Kearney. The Indians took the poor infant by the feet and dash-d its brains ou against the ground, after having killed its parents. "They had also attacked the waggons we had just me in the dead of the night, but all the drivers except one (who was killed) managed to escape to Kearney ; a woman, who was travelling with them, having been either killed or taken prisoner. They found blood, however, in the waggon (which we saw), but no traces of her body. "And we were travelling unconcernedly, because un aware of our imminent peril, right into the very thick of the danger ; and had we not providentially met our informants, two or three days would most probably have brought us to the end of our journey through life. Perhaps the fiends might have spared the lives of some of our children for purposes much worse than death to them. I tremble to think of it, and so will you ; but your emotions and mine are mixed with unfeigned gratitude to our heavenly Father for the wonderful pre serving care which He exercised towards us. "Atter consultation, we concluded that our course was to turn back to Loramie in company with the seven waggons, and claim protection from the United States force at Loratnis. We accordingly did so, and it took us seven days to go over the same ground we had pre viously done in five days and a half. When w 3 arrived at Loramie we found seven waggons, with families re moving from Salt Lake, pretty touch under the same circumstances as we were. They had heard of the hos tility of the Chegenne Indians through a friendly Indian of the Sioux tribe, who brought the news to Fort Loramie, and they were waiting for an opportunity to proceed id safety. This Indian came up to our little camp on the second or third night after we had left Fort Loramie, on the 10th of September, and stayed with us all night. He told them on his arrival at, the fort through an inter preter that he had tried to make us aware of our danger, but was unable, because of our utter ignorance of his language. He certainly did try to make us understand sometbiug of importance, but it was all Greek to us, and worse. We tang round the fire—l think it was Christians, awake,' and tried several times to induce him to sing in the uncouth manner of hie nation, but he invariably shook his head and sighed, we little knew why at tbat time, but were enabled to interpret all some few days afterwards. "On our arrival at the fort, the comn ending officer (Colonel Hoffman) told us that we had acted wisely in turning back ; that the Indian in question (` Black Heart's Son') had come ahead of a company of United States Dragoons, who were escorting some Indians (pri soners) home that bad been taken in the war with the Sioux tribe last year, Black-Heart's Son being of the number, but when within a few days' journey of his tribe he had pushed on alone. "It appears that in the treaty of peace with the general Government, it was stipulated that the prisoners should be escorted from Fort Leavensworth, where they were confined, through the country belonging to other tribes, who were enemies, to Fort Loramie, in their own coun try, and this was being carried into eff, ct. Col. Hoff man told us that the said Dragoons would be in in a few days, and would have to return almost immediately to Leavensworth, and that they would accommodate their speed to ours, if we would stretch out all we could and travel with us for our protection. We accordingly waited and everything turned out as the colonel anticipated. It was the Ist aegiment of United States cavalry, under Capt. Stuart, a perfect gentleman. He behaved very kindly, often relieving the necessities of some of our com pany who were destitute, and when we ca me to Ash Hollow, where there is a mountain to ascen d near ly as s teep as a house side, he ordered his men to dismou nt an d assist us up with ropes, and even literally put his-own shoulder to the wheels.
