day while eating a slmptuous dinner of
bread and moIasses under the shade Of tree,
about two miles from Washington, Amos
Kendall approached him with such lean and
hungry lJok. that he at once divided his
dinner with him, and before it was concluded,
he gave the dilapidated Postmaster General
an interest in his Telegraph patent, which

OF an ocean line soon to be laid, connecting

Doom of The Vrecker.

a horr!d custom prevailed on the coast of

in orrdr that the bewldered mariner, mis-.
taxing it for the light of vessel. might be
induced to shape his course toward it. This
attrncious rxp~dient was often successful.
The devoted crew dreamed not of their dan
ger until warned Of it, too late, by the foam
ing breakers that burst upon them from the
shore; and the vessels speedily became the
prey Of a set of ruthless barbarians. who Ia
secure themselves impunity in their plumber,
often murdered those who escap.d drowning
and then call their booty "GoI.seod "
In small huvel. On the craggy shoie of

10 Europe. Her late.appearance at Dresden
called together Managers from all quarters,
and II is now said she will sing the season
visiting London during the summer. The
impression produced by her appearance now
after the maiden has decome madame and

real change in her voice or from the differ
ence of association between the maiden and

The Dayton Journal publishes an elegant
letter from Lieut.. G. w. CRooK, in which.
speaking OF the depredations Of the Indians in
Californian, he says:
"ln almost all instances where the Indians
commit depreda,ions, the Whites have been
the aggressors. and they ere only retaliatiug.
The indians have repeatedly expressed de-
sire to come down to the Fort and live under
the protection ol the military. They say
they have always desired to be at peace
with the Whites, but could not be let alone
BY them. They cannot hunt alone without
being shot down by the Whites, and il is true
they live in constant dread of the citizens.
The majority of the Whites have not the re.
motest idea of what honor is In several in
stances they have persuaded the Indians TO
lay down their arms and come in their houses
to have talk, and then murder them in cold
blood Besides trying TO poison them with
strachnlnc mixed with their. flour, the Whites
have been guilty Of the most shocking barbar
lty such as Indians themselves would be
ashamed to commit. If The Whites were as
honorable and fair as the Indians are dis.
posed to be, there would be little necessity
of a military station here"
We fear this is all too true. Our conf
dence IN Mr.. MAYPENNY, as Commissioner of
Indian affairs, induces the hope he win leave
nothing undone which may secure Justice 10
the poor Indian. 1t will require the .everes.
judgment and unfinching frn,ness to carry

be more nobly won than in higher places Of

fed approval-O s. Journal.
