gnckson's Fame Ia Foreign E.nn,ls.

A letter from Brussels to the Philadel-
phia Ledger, contains the following:-
"'The melancholy news of the deceasc
Of General Jackson, has made deep i'm
preston in Europe, and the papers are
filled with comments on this most extra
ordinary patriot and truly great man. In
the eyes of Europeans, who, next to the
inestimable traits OF his character, are
mos, struck by his military glory and &C.
MUS, he is the most worthy companion Of
Washington and the second saviour Of
his country. These views may perhaps
correct the opinions of those in the Uni
ted States who have found fault with his
political career, and as is but too much the
case with partizans, moderated his vast
real services to the country. There is no
citizen in the United States who ought not
TO be proud of belonging TO a country that
has produced such man. In an age of
sellishness, materaism and religious UNI
belief, he was an oasis in the descrt-on
which the future historian, whether he
belongs to Europe or America, will dwell
with pleasure and satisfaction. By the
side of the pigmies that nominally guide
the fate Of nations in Europe, Gen. Jack
son stood on a lofty emjnence which was
not reached by any Of his contemporaries.
The DUKE of Wellington is perhaps the
only parallel he has in modern history !;
but the latter was the servant Of the feudal
aristocracy Of Europe; Jackson was the
champion of liberty in one of the darkest
hours in the history of his country, and
remained true TO the faith Of his early life
till death called him hence.
No man loved his country more than he
did; none was more thoroughly Impress
ed with its great mission none labored
so arduously in its cause. His rankesl
political adversares will in the end be
compelled to admit that he added much to
her national renown, and that his diplo.
macy, successful in every part Of the
globe, has raised the respect paid through
out the world TO The character of R,neri.
| tWto' N'tii' JdlhsUii, llhc al uitII VI MS
,orical fame, believed in himself and in
the people on whose destiny h, exercised
such signal influence, and this faith was
the talisman Of his success. He defeated
his antagonist, because he had more fa;t
in the virtue of the people. His state pa
pers were among the ablest of his time in
any country, and all his private commu
nicaions bore the mark of lrankness
manliness and strong good sense. His
letters on the annexation Of Texas show
vigor of mind, a comprehensiveness o
intellect, and a patriotic ardor scarcely
equallel and certainly not surpassed by
any statesmen Of the old world. Hi
memory, when time shall have eifaccl TIT
coorng of party, and soothed the pas
sions of men, will be cherished alike by
all with allectionate piety."

Indian Captivcs.

An article has recently gone the rounds
of the papers, stating that there were
number of white children held in capiivi-
tv by the Camanches. By some this is
considered fabulous. In 1886, the Com
missioncrs appointed by the United States
TO treat with the Indian tribes, employed
Col. Choutcau to 60 out TO the plains,
and bring in the Camanches to hold talk
and form treaty. Col. G. started out
to the plains. but could not find the Ca
manches till he went far south on the
Brazos. They had collected there in
strong forcc-both the MeXicans and Tex
ans were trying to secure them against
their enemies, and the Camanche war.
riors were quietly waiting on the frontier
TO Join which ever party seemed to prom
ise the larger share of the spolls of victo-
~, calculating their chances for obtaining
horses, blankets. guns, and ammunition.
Col. Chouleau fell in with their encamp~
mont, where were their women and chill
dren, and among them he found 40 or 80
white children tina, had been captured at
vorous times from the Texans and Mex
icons: they were generally from five 10
seven wears old, and Of both sexes. Ma
nv Of these cried for JOY at the sight OF a
white man, and were imporiunaie in their
cureatics 70 take them away from the ln'
