storms which has visited our city for several

PLAN FOR A GREAT INDIAN Council
Gov. Stevens, Of Washington, territory,
has written a letter TO the Secretary Of the
Interior, urging the importance of holding
a council with the various tribes of Indians
with whom treaties have not yet been con-
cluded. He thinks that the influence e
sucha council would be to prevent the re-
currence of hostilities between the Black
feet Crows, and Assineboins. thus effect
ing the peace and well being of about
twenty-five thousand Indians. The Black
feet tribe is one of the most numerus and
powerful nations Of red men in our West
eru country. From time immemorial they
have been at war with all surrounding
tribes.
Now, however, the white men are en-.
croaching upon them, their provisions,
which they have hitherto derived mostly
from the buffalo, are falling short, and, du.
ring their conferences with a Government
agent, they have evinccd a desire to make
peace with their enemies and to learn agri-
culture. The same desire was manifested
at a council of their principal chiefs held by
Gov. Stevens in September last, and some
Of the bands have shown by their actions
that these are not merely hollow profess
sions. Other bands, however, continue I'M
usually active in their war excursions
against their innumerable enemies. But
they are on good terms with the whites,
and Governor Stevens urges upon Govern
ment the importance Of conciliating this
powerful ribe.-Nationai Intel.

Our MINISTER TIC RUssIA.-The En-
peror of Russia manifests great anxiety to
cultivate friendly relation with the United
States. Governor Seymour, our Minister
to Russia, was received upon his arrival at
Warsaw with the greatest honors an ope-
ra, it is said, was performed in honor of the
Minister, and the box of Prince Paskie-
witch placed at the disposal of himself and
suite.
On his arrival at St. Petersburg, the
same disposition was shown towards the
Legation. Governor Seymour was pre-
scented to the Emperor Nicholas. Before
the presentation took place, it was intimated
to Mr.. Seymour, that it would be most
agreeable to the Court if he appeared ac-
cording to established usage, in Court
dress. The Governor, however, took Mr..
Marcy's famous circular on the subject, ga
la l%ettre," and went to the audience in COM
mon dress. He was treated with civility
no notice, apparently, being taken of the
breach of etiquette. After the audience
Count Nesselrode is said to have intimatcd
that the Emperor Nicholas was "too SEN
sible a man to notice the slight Of the
American Minister"
The slight must have been felt, never
theless, and deeply, since from the day Of
his reception, very little notice is taken of
Mr.. Seymour f; he has not been invited to
any review, or to the Court again his
presence in the capital seems to be ignored.
Also, Gov. Seymour. it is said, manifests a
strong disposition to leave st. Petersburg.

sibiIity Of the support which that paper
gives TO the Nebraska bill, a measure to
which he is known to be opposed. To this

ployed to write for the Times, for some

anything to revive the abolition 'agitati' n

AMERICAN IsRAELITEs.-A statement is

The CHoLERA.-Dr. j. p. Hobbs, of
Memphis, has addressed a letter to the
Mayor of Nashville. Tennessee, in which
he states that by the use of cistern water
entirely and exclusively the cholera will
disappear and never return. The doctor
says that this is known to him by analysis,
and by an experience of twenty-four years.
The editor of the Nashville, Gazette says
that from his own observations in the year
lS49, when the cholera was in its worst
stages, it was admitted by those best ac-
quainted with the disease that those who
used rain water where the disease was
most prevalent were free from il.

MR.. EDITOR -
The following COM
munication was received at a meeting OF the
Central Baptist Church on the evening of
the 23d inst. viz
To the Central Baptist Church Having
purchased the lot of ground On Washing
ton street, in this city, which has been used
for Baptismal purposes by many of our
venerable and highly respected ancestors,
as well as by you who now represent tho
denomination, it gives me great pleasure
to inform you that il will be exceedingly
gratifying to my worthy parents and re-
spected aunt, as well as to myself and my
wife, il you continue to occupy whenever
you have occasion, the same grounds for
the above purpose until circumstances shall
render it inconvenient. And as soon as it
shall be within my control, ! shall cause
the lot now standing in my name, to be en-
tirely opened for the accommodation Of
Churches who may wish to use the same.
] remain your friend to obllge,
and in the bonds of a true and
faithful friendship,
WILLIAM NEWTON.
p. S.-Please inform the First and
Second Baptist Churches of this my plea
sure as above.
The above paper when read was referred
to the undersigned committee, with %instruc-
ton to express to Mr.. Newton the grateful
emotions cherished by the Church towards
himself and family, for the generous man
ner in which they have rendered the use of
the lot of ground SO long occupied as a
place for Christian Baptism. This lot was
owned by the Father of Mrs. s. Newton,
from whom she, and her sister Mrs. Bar
Der, inhrrited it as heirs at law, and by
them it has been conveyed in fee to Mr..
VIM. Newton, with the express desire that
it shall be used for the same hallowed pur-
pose, to which it has been devoted for
more than one and perhaps two centuries.
The Church most gratefully accepted at
the hand of Mr.. Newton, the tender of the
lot, and will be most happy that not only
the Baptist, but all other disciples, who de-
sire to be buried with their Lord in baptism,
should on those grounds, enter with them
into the full enjoyment of this Divine In
stitution.

OUTRAGE AND Exert EMKNT.-Mueh ex-
element has been created in and about
Xenia, Ohio, by an attempt to kidnap a free
negro. 1t seems that a man named Nc
Leod, overlook the negro on the road be-
tween Xenia and Selma, and suspecting
him to be a fugitive, asked him to ride
The negro accepted the invitation. Mcleod
shortly after stopped at a farm house on
some ~pretence, and made a bargain with
the farmer to assist in securing the negro.
The account says:
"The negro was invited into a room to
eat, was seized, tied with ropes, and placed
IN the buggy to be driven towards Cedar
vile, on the railroad. The man who as
sisted, and his son, accompanied Mcleod.
After proceeding amile or two, the negro
broke his r~ope,and then broke for the woods
chased by all three of the party. The old
man nearly overlook the negro, when the
latter turned and dealt a blow SC powerful
that it broke the arm of the p%ursuer, but he
was soon after caught, beaten, and tied in
to the buggy again. Before they had pro-
ceeded much farther, the negro broke the
cords a second time, and had nearly escap-
ed, when Mcleod grappled with him, and,
the others coming up, a fight ensued, in
which the negro was beaten until he fell
dead"
The affair was disclosed by the son of
the farmer and the culprits were arrested
and are now in Xenia jail.-Boston Jour

In the markets since the departure of the
