THE INDIANS ON VISIT TO THE PRESIDENT
The Union, noticing the arrival at Washing.
ton, of delegation Of Winnebago Indians,
says ....
On Monday last they made formal visit tc
the President, and were introduced by Col. Me.
dill, Commissioner of Indian Affairs They
are twenty-three in number, and the finest.
looking-best and most appropriately dressed
and painted band of Indians we have ever
seen. The Pres ident received and welcomed
the delegation in his usual bland and courteous
manner, and it was evident they soon felt as
if they were really in the presence of the
"Great Father of the red man" After he
had spoken to them of the object of their visit
and expressed a desire TO listen to anything
they had to say, Shaw-go-nik OF Little Hill
orator of the delegation, responded. He sale
the Winnebagoes had heard the voice of theil
Great Father long distance off-that theiI
Father, the governor of Iowa and their agent
had informed them that their great Father
wished to see a delegation of their people on
business-that the chiefs and braves now here
were chosen to represent the Winnebago ma.
tion-that the principal chief, "Wen-ne-shick, ;
was now very old and infrm, and could mol
accompany the delegation, but his brother wa:
here in his place. He said, they wished theil
Great Father to have their business transacted
without delay-that they were very anxious tc
return home, as many of their families were
sick.
The President then informed them that he
would appoint commissioners to meet them on
the next day, (Tuesday,) and on Wednesday
morning they would be ready to proceed to bus
mess; and that they might rely that full justice
should be done them in any negotiations they
might make. With some salutary advice, the
President then told them he would be glad tc
shake them by the hand again, after all theil
business was transacted, and they were, ready
to go home. The agent Gen. Fletcher) then
announced that the brother Of Wen-ne-shick,
had brought pipe from the old chief for the
President, which he desired now to present.
Ah-hoo.zhib-kaw young chief, possessing
much natural grace and elegance in form and
manner, then rose, and after making peril
nent little speech, in which he called the PIPE
the 'emblem of peace and friendship, seat by
the Great Spirit to the red man." he presented
it to the President. He had previously charged
the pipe with their favorite kin-ne- kin ,ick, and
lighting it, desired the President TO smoke
The pipe was then passed to the Commissioner
of Indian Afdifs, and to all the Indians, and to
the circle around the room, each taking a ,rhi6
as a mark Of good will.

door as the Yankee approached.
! "Sir, said the latter, twill you be good
| enough to inform me how far am from Bruins
wick?n
"Two miles, sir" replied D-s.
"And how far is it TO New York;"
"About forty miles, | suppose, by stage"
care there any tin-smiths in New Bruins
wick?" continued the Yankee.
"Why, yes, there are two or three small af-
fairs"
81 am sorry they are SMALL was in hopes
of being able to I'll an order there which our
house has received for lanternsn
Lanterns" said the old fellow quickly, Gag
erly taking the bait, for he had seen the three
wagons loaded with them only the day before.
Eyes, - added the other carelessy, eve have
heavy order, and was told that the article
could be had in New Brunswick
"You are from Philadelphia, then?"
eyes, we do business there. You have pro-
baby heard of our frm-Hype, Cook, Sage
Donnelly & Coz"
81 can't say that I've heard of that firm, but
there appears 10 be good many of you"
ooh! yes it's large house!"
CHOW many lanterns do you want;' enquir-
ed old d.
"Three hundred will do"
'fHut w YOU pay HulluICh!
The Yankee stated the sum considerably a.
bove the marketable value of the article.
''Do you wish them delivered in Philadel-
phia?"
"No, | will attend to that"
"Add another dollar hundred, and | will
furnish them for you,n said the greedy shar-
per.
"Agreed, replied the Yankee, -"now when
can you procure them;n
"ln two days.
"All right. must go on some ten miles
further; and will pay you for them on my re-
turn
After some other conversation about the size,
make, and quality of the article, of which sorv
ed TO impress old DIS with the legitima-
cY of the transaction, the Yankee returned to
town, put on his old clothes and otherwise al
tered his appearance, so that he was fully pre-
pared to superintend the sale of his own Ian
terms when old skinfint arrived. 10 due time
DIS reached the tavern, and after much
screwing and iewng, the bargain was struck
money paid down, and the tin-ware deliv-
cred.
A broad grin of satisfaction might have been
observed all this time in the faces of some six
or eight bystanders, but nothing was said The
Yankee got full price for his lanterns, pock
eted his twenty dollars, and that night started
homeward.
Old DIS waited all the next day, and
the following one, and two more, but the Phil
adelphia Merchant came not. AT length the
lanterns began to grow hateful in the old mans
sight, and with a dozen round oaths, reflected
severely upon the Mercantile community in
general, the tn-ware was ordered to be put in
the garnet. The joke got wind, and soon every
body in the town knew off and from that day
forth the miser was known by the cognomen of
cold Lantern" Many years afterwards the
old man died, and the handbill that announced
the sale of his effects contained the following
llota bend
"Aso, at the same time and place three hun
dred lanterns, almost as good as new, which
will be sold a bargain"

The brakes with golden flowers were crowned,
And melody was heard aloud
When near the scene Z dew drop shed
Its luslre on a violent head,
And trembling to the breeze it hung
The streamlet, as il rolled along
The beauty of the morn con fessed,
And thus the sparkling pearl addressed!
Sure, little drop re, dice we may,
For all is beautiful and CAV;
Creation wears her emerald dress,
And smiles in ali her veness,
And with delight and pride ste
That little flower dGwed by thee
Thy ustIe with gem might vie.
While trembling in its purple eye"
tAh, You may well rejoice, tits true,n
Replied the radiant drop of dew
"You will no doubt as on you move,
To focks and herds blessing prove.
But when the sun ascends on high,
It's beam Will draw me TO the sky;
And must own my little power
I've bat refreshed humbe fower.o
"Hold!' cried the stream, "nOr thus repine-
For well I is known Power divine,
Subservient to His will supreme,
Has made the dew drop and the stream,
Though small thou art Il that allOw,)
No mark of heavens contempt art thou-
Thou hast refreshed a humble flower,
And done according TO thy power.'

himself the general direction of the affairs OF
his department in that quarter. The Union
says:
This step has been taken with view TO pro-
vide for every exigency without the delay and
inconvenience which sometimes result from
waiting instructions from Washington, and in
order to secure the utmost efficiency and eco
nomy to tho measures of that department
We have no doubt that this movement, de-
llberateIy and duly taken, will contribute es-
sentiaIy both TO the efficiency and the economy
Of the war.
We understand, also, that before Gen. Jesup
lett Washington, he had recently purchased
two more excellent steamboats,, on very moder-
ate terms, for the operations of the Rio Grande,
in order to save the high ireights which were
demanded Tor the transportation of our stores.
Other appliances have also been recently adop-
ted, which will save much expense, and con
tribute most etfectually TO the transportation
OF the necessary means for our army.

they would never adopt straps. But you can

inquired his lordship. His guest preferred it

COLLISION AND SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON
| THE READING RAILROAD. On the arrival OF
the passenger train from Reading, on Friday,
at the Falls Of the Schuylkill, the man at the
switch was heard to tell the conductor that he
had better not proceed, as a train ofempty Goa
cars was expected up, and an accident might
happen; but he insisted on going on. Before
the passenger train had gone more than three
hundred yards round the curve, it came in con-
| tact with the coal train. The engineer, on see
ing the danger, shut off the steam and jumped
off the engine, and left the passengers 10 their
chance Of being killed; but not so with the engi-
neer ofthe coal train, for he, at the risk of his
life, reversed his engine, and so great was the
shock on his train, that four of the iron-cars
were piled upon one-causing their almost en-
tire destruction, The middle brakeman had
both his legs mashed. He was taken 10 the
Hospital, and when he was left by those who
volunteered to take him thither, he was sup
posed to be past recovery. His name is James
Mccormack. The general opinion of the pas
sengers was, that it occurred entirely from the
neglect OF those who had charge Of the train.
ABsQuATULATED. John Morrison, Jr., of
the firm Of Morrison s. Won Ostrand, grain
merchants left this village some three weeks
since for parts unknown. He managed the af-
fair very adroitly, so much so that his partner
did not discover his departure until he had been
absent some two weeks From letters receiv-
cd since, 1t appears that he was accompanied
by French woman, named Sophia, whom he
was to meet at Montreal, and they probably
have sailed for Edinburg, Scotland, Upon an
investigation of the affairs of the concern, it
appears that he took with him some seven or
eight thousand dollars of the partnership funds,
leaving his creditors and partner minus. We
admire the honorable conduct of Mr.. Won Os-
trand in this difficulty--he Immediately solicit
ed an examination Of his business operations by
his New York creditors, and secured them SO
far as it was in his power.-LanSingbmg (M
