Mr.. Edttor.-The election Of the Press

somewhat curious affair. The Hon. Mr..
White had honors beaped Upon him. He

CURED glories. was passing across the Ro.
tunda to the room where am penning this
note to you, when | heard one gentleman
say, to another gentleman: 'Iyler wouldn't
do. White has been tried and found wanting'
Wanting in what? said the o,her-"Why
in fidlity TO the President" was the reply
that's The pass word to Office now''-This
conversation, though ironical with those who
used it, figures exactly, am afraid, the state
OF things at Washington. remember tho

ter was run for the Presidents seat in the
Senate, bit vino ever dreamed Of the Hou,
MIR. Whites having to fill that place. 1t is
currently reported that Mr.. Cambreleng, up.

UP IN such position as to make the noise of

This Is important and authentic! FIGARO.

The Richmond Compiler relates the fol.
lowing interesting incident, strikingly Illus
tratlve OF that exalted trait in the Indian cha
tracter which holds with mistaken irmn, Sd
10 the observance Of IA plishted faith, be the
circumstances what they may under which
/ the pledge was given.
When Gen. Scott, in his late campaign ar
rfed 1t the American encampment in the
North west, he found three Indians prison.
ets-under charge OF numbering the whites.
HE evidence against them was ii highland
an application had been sent to Washington
| to obtain their discharge. But the President
had gone 70 the Hermitage, and the Secret
| ry of War to Detroit. No answer was Of
| course, to be obtained. In the mean time tho
| Cholera broke out among the American
| Troops IN the Camp on rock river. Many
become vctims-One of the three Indian
| prisoners aisotook Il and died.
| the General seeing the danger they we,s
| exposed to, determined on letting The two
| survivors out of confinement and told them
| II they would conine themselves TO
the island in the rivcr, he would permit them
| TO go there. Their word being pledged he
directed them to 20 TO the extreme part Of
the island, where they might keep somewhat
out OF the way Of our troops. They accord
Tngiy repaired TO the quarter where he had
directed them to go, bat they never once
| lett The island-aIthough they might easily
, have made their escape. Meantime the
| Cho'era spread, and the danger thlckened.
| The General then told them that he would
| permit them to 60 to their tribe, upon con-
| diIlon that they would return to the camp as
soon as he gave them notice that the Cholera
was gone They assented to the terms, and
went home.
These men were under charge of MUIR
Der and might have lost their lives if they
were pun up5h their trial But, notwiihstand-
ing tins circumstance. the moment Gen.
Scott Lad determined, 10 hold his great conn-
ell with the Indians, he, informed the two
prisoners that they must come in--ahd they
| did not hesitate TO do So They repaired a.
mong the first Indians to the American en-
canrpmeLt
The reader will be pleased to hear that
they were ultimately cqutted-thoush one
OF them had TO pledge himself TO attend as
witness against another Indian, who was
charged with numbering the whites. This
duty too he fulfilled, though at much incon-
venlence to himself
