INDIAN "SMARTNESS.r

GA few Indians, some twenty or thirty, have been
hanging round camp for some days. begging, holding
war-dances for money, and getting drunk. The 9TH
er evening, rather good looking, athletic fellow
came to me, and patting me on the shoulder, called
me sbobby-shilly and asked for picayune. His
hair was long and braid reached almost to his feet
This was ornamented with several old suspender buck
les. "What will you ask to cut off that braid and
give it to met? said to him. thinking of course that
he priced it very highly. "Four bits, he promptly
replied. "Cut it off"-and handed him knife
He commenced untying it close to his head and not
wishing him to crop himself too close, told him to
cut it longer. "No-me cut him good,' and the
words were hardly out of his mouth before he handed
me his braid, which soon had been ingeniously
tied on and was made of horse Correspondence

JOHN nANDoLpn,s SLAVES.

Nam street, on Wednesday Morning, pre-
sented singular scene--one which never be-
fore occurred here, and which may not occur
again. In front Of our office, and occupying
the centre Of the street for half square, was
a crowd ofnegfoes, men, women and children,
like adrove of sheep coming to market. They
Were dressed in coarse cottons, apparently
comfortable in bodily circumstances, aud walk
ed along from the river TO the canal. They
were in his lifetime, slaves Of the celebrated
JoHN RANDOLPH of Roanoke.
This extraordinary man remains extraordi-
nary even in the transactions which follow his
death. The word '.REMoRsE." written on a
card in his death scene, expresses fully the
sentiment which often coniiicied in his lifetime
with much OF his singular conduct
In one of these repentant moods he made a
will, hberating MS slaves, and providing for
their transportation and support in free State.
This will was contested, almost as a matter OF
course, because the eccenuicity of his conduct,
and the doubtful sanity OF his mind made its
legality questionable. The viii, however, at
ter passing through a long course Of litigation
in the Virginia courts, was at length establish.
