1t is a fact perhaps generally known, that the
Institution OF Slavery exists among the Indians o!the
plans and the mountains the frontiers OF Mexico.
We quote from a correspondent of the \. Y. Tr-
bunc writing from Chihuahua:
.'Oi all the numerous ComanChcs and kowas
whom met on the Arkansas in the ne, hborhood
of Fort Atkinson and the crossing OF the river, there
was indeed scarcely one who had not or several
male OF female Mexican cdren with him, whom ihey
themselves boasted Of having kidnapped IN MeAico,
telling Is the places where they were from. To con-
cludc nom what saw, there must be- not hundreds
but thousands Of Mexicans most OF them OF tender
age, in slavery among the Indians u the pains.-
Others were iul grown aad women the former
entirely baibarans like their Indian masters, among
whom they had lived from their youth, the latter in
some good deal more cultivated on account II
their having been kidnapped at a more advanced age
which Is the with male captive, full
grown men being always killed when the, fall INTO
thc hands Of these savages. Some ot the McNican
men hom met IN th,s Of captivity looked
ont and poor, anu complained OF beng III treat
cd and getting food enough, while Others declared
that they would by no means, even II they could re
their native country, and confessed that they
themselves used to participate IN those horse
stealing and kidnapping expeditions which the Co.
manches aud hiowas proudly call 'canpdnus,
speaking with an expression OF oupldity OF the cav
aos, muIts, mugercs muchachas, the horses,
mules, women ana bows, of Mexico. The boys ap-
peared to be generally we'll treated. Some Ut them
have even been adopted children Of the Indians.
An old Nova chief who visited our camp, had three
bows with him whom he declared to bc his children,
telling 5 at the same time that Of two OF them he
was the real father, while he had bruush the third
one from Mexico in Of his military expeditions.
This third boy evidently kept we'll as the two
real sons oi the oi man, and asked the chiet as
wrll the boy, whether they would like to separate
IN should pay HIM good price for ,he boy
for the purpose OF taking him along with to bis
native place, both laughed with sort o contempt,
xh, Nj tiV that both s well satisfied 18th
each other as with their situation IN general
The fate OF the girls kidnapped IN tender age IS
even less painful. The, generally brought up by
those VINO capture them to make the wives OF their
sons The chiefs visiting camp nth their lami-
lies, all had Mexican wives. The fate OF foil
grown woman falling into the hands Of the Indians Is
often easy this. She seldom escapes vo-
lence aud brutality"
SINGULAR DIscovERY.-Dr. Tins!ey an Eng
lish practitioner of long experience IN Cubi, has dIs
covered in the OF his acce IN cases OF small
p0X, that tltS after once having passed thIo
negros system, becomes useless as prevention 10
the white II this be true, it is fact which
should bc universally known, and vaccination with
such virus carefully avoided. We should lihe to
have the opinion, OF of eminent physicians
as to the probable truth OF DIR. Tn-y's views the
SUBJECT 1t Is true that one fact l. worth a dozen
theories, bu, the matter of importance TO the world
is to whether not the fact has been asceralned
by sufficient prooi.-t Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer.
VALUE OF KIssEs.--A French girl, at a store
being solicited allow Kiss, declined, except the
price Of a little bag which lay the enamored
alters counter, and which, he said filed with
cents. The bargain struck, but TO the surprise
of dncinea, opening the bag it was found TO
contain instead OF cents, good iuli weight aorins.-
The gentleman claimed the bag; but the girl
yielding Thereupon resort was had TO the tribunal
the plaintiff alleging that there evidently mis-
take and that simple KISS could not by far be ap-
praised such The tribunal, however, gave
the case the girl--lst. because what gwen is
gwen; and 3D. because the value of kiss cannot be
estimated.
