VISIT OF THE SAC AND FOX INDIANS TO

WASHINGTON.

Yesterday (says the Washington Inteiligencer of
the 3rd lost ), about eleven o'clock, the Sac and Fox In-
dians now in the city called upon the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs for the purpose of submitting to his consi-
deration the business which induced their journey to the
metropolis. The whole united delegation was present,
consistinf of eight Sacs, whose youthful chief is Keokuk,
and six b oxes, with Powaisheik for their chid'.

The conversations during the interview were numerous
and desultory.
Knonox complained of the doubts he and bis people
entertained as to their getting money (30,000 doh.) alleged
to be due to them by the government. He bad come here
to see about it, and to learn from their Great Father how
the matter lay.
TACICWAVII• acknowledged the binding nature of the
rutty which located the and Pores where they were,
and the superior authority of the United States. They

flea the lase treaty he had inbred some money. The pro-

levy, but sip with the Hickapoos ; and if so, why was
this

Powauxata rather dodged this inquiry, and very
adroitly talked round the matter. He said the Kickapoos
wished it, because he bad owe saved a great many of the
lives of their people. When he had a great scope of land
he allowed many tribes to live on it, and now the Kicks-
poos repaid Ma. He supposed the Commissioner would
think bard about this. A peat many people of all sorts
live in this city of Washiagton, but when he stays up
with the Kiekspoos it is method mighty quick. One reason

COLLISION ON THE SCOTTISH CENTRAL
RAI LWA Y.
This line was on Tuesday afternoon the scene of
soother eeriest casualty, which, though providentially sot
yet a-eompaniel by any guiltier et lite, has been attended
with perenial injeties to mousy of the passengers, as well as
the thetrectiou of railway plant. From the details of the
disaster which we have bees able to glean, it appears that
the ordinary train which leaves Larbert Station for the
south at 4 o'clock p.m., had reached Greenhill Junction
shortie' lifter that haw, when, as usual, the engine was un-
coupled far the purpose of bevies another attached, andthe
carriages bevies, from some seaccoantable eases no brakes
on the wheels, began to move slowly back, until, gradually
obtaining greater momentum, the entire train proceeded
down the declivity (very steep on this part of the line)
with great velocity, and before its speed could be checked
came is contact with a cattle tram on its way from Larbert.
Assay well be conceived, the collision was of fearful vio-
knee, one of the weenier carriages being stove to pieces,
and a hem-lox—from the dilapidated remains of which a
tine mare was extricated unleirt—was totally destroyed.
Had the damage bees notified to this loss of property,
it would have been so fur well ; but unfortunately •
gentleman, who on the appease:l of danger had leapt
from the carriage. sustained a metre fracture of the
limb, while a number of Lis fellow passengers who bad
followed his example received minor injuries on the
head and ribs. Two other gentlemen, who had retained
their seats, unconscious of the impending disaster, had
also their legs broken; and • third had his spine very
inertly injured. Assistance being promptly procured,
the line was cleared for the resumptinn of the ordinary
traffic, although it is possible that to this lamentable acci-
dent may be attributed the detention of the down train
from lambert the MOO evening which should have started
at ball-past tire, instead of which its departure was pro-
longed till nearly seven o'clock. We are informed (but we
cannot munch fur the accuracy of the statement) that the
trails was under the charge of one of the servants of the
Scottish Central Company, who more frequently acts in the
capacity of a porter than a guard. It this report ultimately
tern out correct, it is cialv another practical illustration of
the vital necessity of every railway in the kingdom having
dell' which for extent and efficiency should he equal to the
greatest emergency. There is one tact beyond cavil—that
the arrangements were gravely defective which allowed a
train to leave without having the ordinary brakes attached,
and which were all the more indispensable on the most boa •
portant day of the Falkirk Tryst, when the passenger,
