Indian Talk.

The chiefs of the Sac and Fox tribes
Of Indians, with Hard6sh at their head,
assembled in this city, and held sTalk,'
on Monday and Tuesday last, with Gov.
Lucas in relation 10 the burning Of the
trading house of P. Chouteau & Co..
They deny having any knowledge that
any Of their tribe had done it maliciously,
but, on the contrary, aver that they believe
the fire was communicated to the building
y i.lcauliously erecting fire within it
a short time previous to its having caught
fire. They. consequently, felt no dispo-
sition to pay for the loss Of property,
at least, until after a thorough investiga-
ton should take place.
One of the most important occurrences
which we believe to have taken place
during the Talk was, that they had
heard that Government had intended to
buy their land from them and drive them
away, and that they wished TO know the
facts in relation thereto; because they
were not disposed to make any sale OF
treaty until their last annuity should be
paid and distributed among their nation
The Gov. replied that he had no otficia
information relative to the matter; bu
ne was otherwise apprizcd that Congress
had made an appropriation to defray tn,
expenses of holding treaty, and that i
probably would not take place until afte
ihe payment of the present annuity. |
was not the intention of Government /,
use any coercive measures towards them
but to treat with them amicably, and /,
concer. such measures as would lead /
the mutual benefit of both the whites all
Indians. To this the latter assen,ingl
replied.

MIDNIGHT JUDGES.--It appears
that, after the Senate, by an unexampled
majority. had passed bill abollshing the
circuit which the late Justice BARBOUR
was attached to-, and whilst that bill was
pending before the House of Represen-
lalves, majority of the Senate took up
the nomination of Mr. DANIEL, as Jud ge
OF the Supreme Court of the United States
on Tuesday night. |, was in vain that
the Wings protested against filling an Of:
fee, which had been suspended so far as
the Senate could act; i, was in vain tina
they pleaded for time by laying the nom.
nation upon the table, or referring it, I'M
I'll it was known whether the House
would reject or agree to the bill of the
Senate. All postponement was refused
and, about IL clock at night, after al
the Wings but one had retired, the nom
ina,ion OF Mr. DANIEL was confirmed By
a small majority, several of his own poli,
ical friends voting against him. The
nomination of Mr. J. Y. Mason to the OF
fee oi District Judge of Virginia, which
had been filled by MIR Daniel was also
confirmed.

Now that of Mr. Daniel is refused to b.

On Saturday morning, it commenced
blowing gale from the North, which
continued with increased fury, through
out the day. AT 10 o'clock al night, il
was discovered that the Lamplighter could
not survive the gale many minutes, both
boats were Immediately launched; six
persons got in one, and three in the 9th

small boats could not be brought near the
steamer, and eight of the persons leaped
into the sea and swan 10 the boats.
While arrangements were making to take
the rest on board the boats, the steamer
sunk, amid the cries and lamentations Of
those who sunk, in watery grave, to
rise no more until the last trumpe, sounds.
and the sea shall give up its dead. 1t
was with great difficulty the persons on
board the small boats extricated them
selves. during the confusion incident on
such occasions, to cut the faslenings so as
to prevent the small boats from sinking
with the steamer. These nine men and
the two boats were left to the mercy OF
the elements, without chart, compass,
provisions or water. They were separa-
ted, and drove by the winds and the sea
to the eastward. Of the six in one boat,
the steward and deck hand, persisted
with cold on the second day, one in the
morning. and the other in the evening.
OF the three men in the next boat, the
black man persisted with cold the second
night-the thermometer at % degrees
On the third day. both the boats me-
at sea. The two who remained in the
smaller. went into the large boat. which
ran before the wind until Wednesday
morning, when they reached land il

the next day, which was the day WE

i isa good plan to put earthen ware
into cold water, and let it heat gradually
until it boils then cool again. Brown
earthen ware, in particular, may be tough
ened in this way. A handful of rye OF
wheat bran, put in while it is boiling will
preserve the glazing, so that it will not be
destroyed by acid Or salt,

The South AND MANUFACTURERS
The Wheeling Times, of a late date. saws:
1.-THE South is evidently coming round to
the right side Of its senses on questions
that. more prominently than any other,
affect our national interests. The Rich
mond Wing. few days since led us to
believe that it considered the only objec-
ton to protective tariff was to be found
in the effect of asfull treasury; and in the
last Charleston Patriot we find an an
nonncement that that paper is in favor of
tariff upon wines and silks, and of the
distribution of the proceeds of the public
lands. These measures, at the first step,
are all we can ask. They are enough.
and when we combine these with the re-
marks made 10 us the other day by Mis-
sissi pi planter, who said he would give
half his plantation TO see high protective
duties laid by our Government, we think
that there is no doubt but these popular
measures will find favor in the eyes Of
Congress-"

SOMETHING NEw.-Thc onerous duties
Of our daily calling are occasionally reliev-
ed by the pleasant employment OF chrooi-
cling some labor saving invention; and a
case of The kind We have just been called
upon 10 notice.
Col. James Hamilton, one Of The Vice
Presidents Of the American Institute, a
mechanic of great ingenuity and of most
praiseworthy industry, has just completed
and patented NeD Salu Mill.
us chief recommendation is great SIM
plicity and cheapness of construction. 1t
is believed that the cost of making one Of
The largest class will not exceed two hun
drcd dollars. With trihing expense it can
be removed and re-established in any spot
where the land is iolerably even. In short,
it can be taken into The midst of forest
and fully set at work with a few hours of
preparation. Again, it can be used with
any kind Of power; but what constitutes
another aud one Of its best recommended
lions, is that it can be successfully used by
manual labor.
II will prove invaluable in the conslruc-
ton Of Rail Roads. 1t can be moved TO
keep pace with the daily wants of The
road, saving any kind of lumber in the
making of them; and is Of so simple
construction that scarcely any instruction
is necessary in order to enable common
aborers 10 work it. Another striking tea-
nre of its usefulness is that the logs to I've
sawed are not elevated much above the
level OF the ground; and that The saw
passes through the log, instead Of the log
passing through the saw. This is very
great and important improvement Itsaves
all The vast labor Of hosting up heavy logs
which p, ';"s them to their proper place;
pensivc, and it also saves one HaIr OF Ine
usual space required in the common way
10 cut up log in.
There are many districts of our wide
spread country where The face of il is Hat
and where The timber abouuds of the very
best'guaily, but where it is almost value
less, because of The grea, distance TO saw
mills. This invention will enable the
owners of such lands to transport the
boards and planks 10 The nearest point OF
navigation, and by it can successfully
compete with other manufacturers OF lum-
ber.
