The Capt;re Daughter of Mrs. White. The
St. Louis Republican publishes the circular OF
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs addressed
to D. D. Mitchell, Superintendent of Indian At.
fairs at st. Louis, apprizing him that reward
of one thousand dollars is offered BY the Indian
Bureau for the recovery of the daughter OF the
late J. NJ. White.
The Commissioner states that Congress haV-
ing appropriated fifteen hundred dollars for the
redemption of this child, he is anxious that the
money shall be so expended as to give full et-
feet to the benevolent intention of that body.
"From the latest information received upon
the subject" he says, at is believed that she
yet remains in captivity among the Apache.s'
proper, or that mixed band termed "1acellares,
which for years past, have infested the vicinity
of San Fernandez de Taos, the country be-
tween it and Bents Fort, and the Santa re
road near the settlement of new Mexico; yet 1t
is possible she may have been sold by her cap
tors to Indians of some other tribe. She is now
about three years of age.
It is to be hoped that the benevolent design
of Congress may be accomplished by the dis
covery and ransom Of this child at an early
day.-Wash. Republic.

TIE FREE E-SoILERs-The Washington cor
respondent of the Evening News, writing on the
18th, says:
"The free-soilers had another caucus last
night, at which, presume, Giddings had to un'
dergo severe chastisement for his premature
speech against theSugitve slave bill, when Mr.
Mann had been invested with authority to LET
loose the first thunder The fact is every one
ofthe clique wants to be at the head, and they
swell with envy when one Of the number oh
taius a little more notoriety than another..--
From present indications we shall see some
amusing doings next week. The other Ohio
member states that notwithstanding the TRADE
ofGiddings, the law will be carried out by the
great body of the people of that State"
