NEW York INDfASs.--At meeting, on Monday
of The New York Historical Society, Mr.. III. r.
Schoolcra who has lately visited the Indian tribes
in the western part of the State Of New York, made
the following interesting statements, whch we copy
from the Commercial Advertiser
He said that there are now 1904 Indians of the
Six Nations in New York. Onondagas 339, Onei-
das 2I0, lin Wisconsin 1871, farmers, &c.) Tusc,l-
roras less than 300 on the Niagara ridge, the most
advanced in civilization. Many Of them raise as
much wheat as white men near them. One had
about 100 sheep. The Tuscaroras bought 5000
acres from the Holland Land Company, on which
they now live, having given up the tract received
from the Five Nations, and they intend to remain.
All the white farmers, &c, Of whom Mr.. S. inquired,
spoke highly Of them, and wished them TO continue
there.
The Senecas are about l,700, but not improved,
and are rendered vicious and poor by their neigh
borhood TO large town, Buffalo. They are about
to remove TO Cataraugus.
Temperance has been introduced in all the tribes,
apd has produced very sauary effect. Christi
anty has made but little progress. Mr.. s. said that
he put many questions TO ascertain the moral state
Of The Indians and various other subjects The
last thing Indian will do in the progress Of civili-
cation, is to raise sheep and make butter. They
will raise hogs, horses, and cows Not an lroquois
has ever raised pound Of fax, or cultivated an
acre OF rye. There are drones among them, but
they on the whole sustain themselves. Their num-
beers are greater than they after the revo-
luton. Whiskey has been the chief cause of Indian
destruction.

on board the steamer III. Kinney. About five or

then dashed together, and proceeded the city On
arriving at the wharf, Mr.. Calhoun was received
with the most enthusiastic shouts by an immense
concourse of citizens there assembled. He was
then conducted in barouclle and four TO the Man
sion House, where rooms had been provided for his
reception. Here he was waited on by the mayor
and aldermen and members Of the common council,
and the hospahties Of the city were rendered to him
by the mayor. Mr.. Calhoun made brief but
feeling reply, and afterwards introduced to the
citizens generallyhundreds Of whom, of both poit-

81 LApenABLE siEclDEST.--ln the new melodrama
recently got up at the Chatham theatre, famous
robber is taken and beheaded, and his head is ex-
hbied to the audience by being placed table in
the centre Of the stage. To accomplish this to the
life, The robbers body il fixed in the table, and his
neck is fitted into hole in the centre Of the leaf
that 10 the audience Il looks precisely as though the
mans head had been cut off and stood up in pool
Of it's own blood upon the table. On the ffsh night
of The exhibition wag got into third tier Of the
stnge boxes, and, by some unexplained mannuvre,
managed TO blow LOT Of Scotch snuff over the
stage just at the time the head was placed on the
table As soon MS the snuff had begun to settle
down, The head commenced sneezing, to the no
small amusement Of the audience; and as the sneez
ing could not be stopped the curtain fell amid
Of laughter and confusion.

Mr.. McLANE AT LONDON.

The wholly false report that this gentleman is
dissatisfied in his present position, and that he
wishes to return to this country because he is not I'M
trusted ,rih the settlement Of The Oregon question: has
run the rounds Of the whole wing press. 1t is reit-
Grated again and again in every variety of FORM and
we notice that is this morning repeated in the In
telligencer.
We now reply to it for the last time. We state,
Of our o,cn personal kho,cledge, that Mr.. McLane,
when he went to England, considered it highly
expedent that the Oregon negotiation should be
conducted at Washington; and that he entertained
this opinion, too, on conclusive reasons growing out
ofthe nature of the question itself, and wholly in
dependent of any limitations from the admnsira-
ton as to the line ofnegotation to be adopted.
We say further, that Mr.. McLane ,oas NOT chaged
,cih The Oregon negotiation, and that he was perfect
ly satisfied with that arrangement. And we add to
these statements the fact, that if Mr.. McLane de-
sires to return from his mission, no intimation Of
such desire has been received here That he
wishes to return, in spirit Of dissatisfaction and
disgust, we learn from the best authority, il ia
wholly gratuitous and untrue.

SADNEss.--There is mysterious feeling that FIRE.
quenily passes like cloud over the spirits. 1t
comes upon the soul in the busy hustle Of life,
to the social circle in the calm and silent retreats Of
solitude. It's powers are alike supreme over the
weak and iron-hearted. At one time, it is caused
by the fitting of single thought across the mind.
A sound will come booming over the ocean Of mem
DRY, gloomy and solemn the death-knell, over
shadowing all the bright hopes and sunny feelings
Of the heart. Who can describe it, and yet, who
has not felt its bewidering influence? Still, il is a
the sunshine on the river, although causing mo-
mentary shade Of gloom, il enhances the beauty Of
returning brightness

Mr.. Ashley next addressed the Senate, and took
the highest ground in favor OF annexation, which
was plainly authorized by the Constitution, las he
understood it," Mr.. A. said among other things,
that it seemed as if the God of Heaven had open
ed this outlet for the surplus population of slaves
which must otherwise, and that before many years,
have increased TO an extent dangerous to their mas

Mr.. Dickinson of ~ Y. followed upon the same
side. His speech was evidently prepared with
much care, but exhibited no very high order of
