no Indictment could he legally drawn mp in
the English language, and the present in
dctment being in that language, the pr;s-

not being suited to the present state of the
science of law, did not avail the prisoners.

DISTINGUISHED VIsITERs. On Sunday,
Gov. CaSs from Detroit, with Messrs. For
syth and Kenzie, with deputation oe Win
nebago Indians, on their way to Washing
ton, arrived in the North America. from AL
bany, and took up their quarters at the New
York Hotel, in Greenwich-street. The sim
guarity of this visit, being the first of the
kind, we believe, from that remote and hith
erto mmanageable tribe, has attracted
great attention and brought together crowds
of people. The tribe from which these men
came, is situated on the Fox and Ousiscon-
sin river, in the vicinity of the rich tract
known as the Fever Mines. They have up
TO the present time entertained hostile feel
ings towards the United States, and have
! always felt the most perfect confidence in
their ability to conquer any enemy TO whom
they might he opposed. Their tribe num-
hers about 1900 warriors, and they are so
situated that they can, after having commit
ted depredations upon our territory, retreat
into the interior, where it would he very
difficult to follow them up the Ousisconsin,
in doing which our troops would be contn-
ually liable to fall into ambuscades. The
humane design of the present visit is to pro-
duce in the minds of these savages con-
viction, by showing them the extent of our
power, that it is in vain to contend against
U.S. and that their true policy is to cherish
peaceful intercourse with our people.
A great effect has already been produced
upon their minds, as their chief man, in
speech which he addressed to his compan-
ions in Utica, told them that it would be of
no avail for them to attempt hereafter to
overcome the whites who were evidently too
strong for them-and that when they re-

minds to live at peace with the white peo-
pie of this country. They have been both
surprised and delighted at what they have
seen.
The deputation consists of Is men and
one woman, belonging to the two most pow
erful families in the trlbe.-.N Y. Statesman.
