excitement among the Indians.

We regret TO learn says the ST. Louis Republican
that considerable excitement exists among the Sac
and Fox Indians, because of the treatment which
! they have received from the United States govern
ment. We told, but cannot vouch for the truth
of the report, that so great is the dissatisfaction of
the tribe, and impossible has il been TO do justice
to them, from the violation by the United States of
the treaty stipuatons that the agent, Major Beach,
who has been with them eight years, has been
compelled to resign his Office The Sucs and Foxes,
for several years past--n fact since the Black
Hawk war--have been peaceable and relied entirely
and implicitly upon the treaty stipulatons for sup
port and protection. During the past summer, they
visited the Agency, they were accustomed to do,
for their rations and their annuities But from some
unexplained cause neither could be paid them with
out further instructions from Washington, and they
were, consequently, kept about the Agency suffering
not only for food but for WATER until disease set in
upon them, and hundreds have fallen victims TO the
neglect of the Commissioner OF Indian Affairs al
Washington. So loud, says our informant became
the demand for relief, that the Agent rather than
endure the distress which he was compelled TO wit
ness every day, paid over the annuities Of money
without the requisite instructions from the depart
ment, and then resigned his post
This calamty-if our information may be relied
upon, and we know reason to doubt its entire
curacyis entirely attributed to the inefficient
ner in which the Indian Bureau, under the supern-
tendence of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Mr.
Medi, of Ohio, Is conducted This Is not the first
instance where we have been informed of the gross
negligence and indifference to the calls of humanity
interchangeable against this officer. He is par-
zan politician totally ignorant Of his duties and OF
the character and wants of the people over whom he
is appointed to exercise control-in fact 1t is said
that he gives but little attention to his Office, its
duties, finding more congenal amusements in other
parts of Washington How far these reports may be
strictly accurate, not prepared to assert from
personal knowledge, but that there are numerous
and well founded complaints from many of the In
dian agencies, we do know. sThe Commissioner, in
his zeal to carry out the Sub-reasury, has stripped
the agents Of the power and the means of relieving
| the tribes when they most require assistance and
has committed gross injustice upon those who have
| trusted to the faith Of the government
But, we suppose it is wasting time and paper to
appeal to the justice of the government such sub
ects. The king can do no trrong, and the poor In
dian must suffer- without hope of improvement in
his condition.

The BLACK HOLE IN CALcUTTA.-The dreadful
ragedyat Calcutta many years ago, is often refer
red to by Psychologists as fearful Illustration of the
fatal effects resulting from an impure atmosphere.
The details of the tragedy are thus given in Howtts
Journal?
The most fearful instance record of the sacrifice
of human life from confinement in limited quantity
OF air occurred in the year l75G, when ahndred and
torty-sir Englishmen, taken in Fort William at Cal
cuta, by the native prince Sural-u- Dowlah, were
imprisoned by his orders in the common dungeon OF
the garrison known as the Black Hole. This apart
ment was not twenty feet square, and had only two
small windows, and these were partly INSTRUCTED on
the outside by the projecting verandah 1t was the
very hottest season of the year. and the nights unll-
sually sultry even for that season. The wretched
| prisoners soon became almost mad with thirst and
the craving for air; they shrieked for water in the
most furious tones, and fought each other with ma
MAC hands, feet and teeth, for possession of the
ground nearest the windows. When water was
brought they bated with each other like demons fol-
the first draugh and they consequently spilled and
| wasted more than was drunk The constant crowd
ing to the windows, by obstructing the entrance OF
air destroyed all chance of life for those who were
turhest removed from them; and many thus perish
| ed whose lives might possibly have been saved If all
had been content to remain tranquil taking theil
regular turns in the more airy portions of the apart
| ment. Many more persisted from the violence OF the
| conflict in which they had been engaged; and by
two o'clock in the morning. only ffy (but little more
| than one-third of the original number) remained
alive. These, by making the best of their dreadful
condition, might have perhaps been all saved, not,
withsanding the rapid decomposition of the bodies
of the dead gave and sckenng faint TO the aii
of this terrible dungeon; but one after another con
tinued to sink, until at eight O'clock when an order
arrived for the enlargement of the survivors, only
| trenty-ttree were found alive, and these We're 81
dreadfully changed in appearance as scarcely to bt
| recognised by their nearest friends.
