II becomes our painful duty to announce the
death Of THOMAS DEWS, Jr Esq, Attorney at
La. Of this place, who departed this lite on Sat
urday the 4ih inst, aged about 80 years.
The circumstances attending the death OF Mr..
ID. are truly distressing. He was a candidate
TO represent this county in the next Legislature,
and was returning from ths lower part of the
county where he had gone to attend public gath
ering few days previous To his death. On arr-
wing within six miles of this it was discovered
that he was In stale Of meatai derang men,.--
On the evening of his death he started for home,
as was supposed, but not reaching this that night,
serious apprehens0ns were entertained BY the cll-
Gems oil our vlllsge, that some misfortune had be-
fallea him, and Immediately search was made for
him that night in the neighbprhood where he was
last SEEM his horse found on the bank of
Broad River by, but no traces of its owner
could be seen. On next morRing search was
again made, and melancholy TO relate, he was
found in the bottom of the river, having apparent
" been drowned the evening previous.
liz the death of this young rusn the community
has been deprived Of one. whe. BY his natural en-
dowments, be6,ted for any station in lite, and
WIN By the exercise OF highly gifted mental ca
pacity, might have reflected lasting honor upon
his native State mild aAd courteous in his de-
meanor while at the Bar, he gained the esteem of
all his legal associates. He has left an aged Fa-

) THE INDIANS CHEATED.

strous abuses in this respect do at least
sometimes occur
From The ST. Charles MO- Clarion, Dec.

manner as almost entirely to deprive the In

Goods OF quality unsuited TO the habits of
the Indians, such as superfine cloth dress
coats, saddles OF the finest quality, SC. are
paid out to them at their highest value, while
numerous individuals are among The Indi-
ans purchasing these articles Tor not more
than one-lourh OF their cost. Claims 10 a
vast amount, alleged by persons acquainted
with the business OF the tribe to be unjust,
were allowed and paid. Ia one instance, af-
ter claim had been sworn to. citizen de.

claim TO have been delivered. the claimant
without hesitation erased these articles, a.
mounting 10 five or six thousand dollars =
Such loose way of transacting business
will soon impoverish every mutton OF lndi
ans treating with the United States, and en-.
rich the traders at the expense the Indians
and forfeiture Of whatever good name it
may possess, SO far as its justice towards the
indians is concerned. In addition to this IN
furious measure adopted by Government a
gents, there is gang of beings in the shape
Of men, claiming to be gentlemen, walking
about among the Indians actually begging
them for money, without any thing in return.
SO thoughtess are the lndians for the future,
that they often authorize the agent TO give
large sums to these souless beggars.
