5 From the indianapolis Journal, ofthe 26th1
We saw a scene in the Union Depot yesterday
morning, that, we think, preached more pow
erful Fremont sermon than all the eloquence
Of the stump or the Senate has yet produced.
Seated along the wall on bench, was a family
Of thirteen, the father, mother and eleven child
rem, weary, dirty, destitute and wretched beyond
all parallel In this prosperous city. At one end
was well grown boy Of sixteen, with out a
shirt, his skin blue with cold, exposed, except
where scantv garments Of thin and coarse linen
covered it. He has been sick and was wrapped
in coarse coverlet. Near him sat young wo.
man, sister, with her husband. She was bare
headed and hardly decently covered with rags
that had not touched water, apparently, since
they were made Apale and puny baby lay in
her arms. Three or four little boys sat next
4 wan looking creatures, as whito.as their little
wool hats, except where the dirt gave an appea-
rance of health to the flesh.
They were ragged and shivering with cold,
but they didn't speak nor cry; SO utterly un-
like the chceriulness and vivacty of boys were
their silence and quietude, that it made ones
heart ache to see them. One Of them once
passed his hands caressingly over the face of
the little baby which lay motionless in its moth.
ers lap, but there was no smile or glmmer of
affection in his pale face. The mother was bare
headed, unwashed, and pale, as were all the
family. She, like her daughter, nursed a
little sicky child, that lay noiseless but staring
with its round eyes at the crowd Of plying
spectators. A son, dressed, or rather undressed,
like all the rest sat in the middle, shiyering
= with a shill. dc writhed from side to side, and
groaned sometimes, but never spoke The
father, man ofapparently forty -hve years, had
wrapt small quilt about his shoulders, and
either under the cheering influence of so much
greater warmth than the rest enjoyed, or be-
cause he felt it incumbent upon him as the head
OF the family, was the only one that spoke while
we were within hearing.
He had been driven from Kansas, he said, BY
the buchanan men, as so many other poor sci.
tiers had been, and robbed of every dollar he
had IN the world, His cattle had been stolen.
BY Bniords thieves, and he expelled from the
Territory because he would not take arms gainst
