for delay and dispute in the settlement Of the

notice the exception in the case of one Of our

House. The Washington Evening Star says:
"Col. Fomsy, within an hour alter recsiv-
ing an infor nal report Of adjustment, from ihe
office Of Fs.st CompHoilsF, finally closed his
accounts, by simply transferring 10 the Uni
ted States the balance standing to his credit
on the books Of the Treasury, there being no,
one cent of difference between his siatement
as rendered and tina, Of the Department. His
disbursements covered transactions running
through four years Of official service, aud
embraced the expenditure Of over Two mill.
ions Of dollars, under about seventy different
heads Of appropriation. On the lst OF April
he was informed unofficially of the adjust
men, Of the final account, and within an hour
after, he closed by making the transfer stated
above. This promptness reflects much cred

THE "KIko OF ALeIERs"-Acccrding to
the news from France, The expected "event"
so interesting tethe Empress and Louis Ma
poleon, is over, and the child's name is
Napoleon Eugene Louis Jean Joseph. The
crowd stood outside, as at an expected spec
tacle, with gaping mouths, waiting for the an
nouncement, and the Empress, between the
,hroes of labor, exhibited herself at the win
dow. A hundred and one guns were fred
when that "blessed baby" with FIVE christ
ian nsmes was ushered into the world, and
two hundred thousand francs were voled 10
be distributed TO The poor. The little fellow
is therefore inauguraled under very favorable
circu distances, as the heir expeclant oi i'm

made over other imperial babies, but The
hopes which gave expression to them were
never realized. Nothing absolute can be

INDIAN DEPR EDATIONs.

outrages upon the whites in the vicinity OF

Captain Oakes, who Is con OF Judge Oskea
OF Moniour county. Pa, eel out lately from
Fort Mason TO punish The savages. = For uev-
eral days they followed Trail yh,hout sue.
cess-bai on The evsning Of ks s2d they
were more fortunate. Tnsy discovered an
Indian encampment which proved 10 be
northern Camanches-a tribe never known
to ask or to give quarters. Al the time our
friends surprised them they were dressing a
deer. Capt. Oskss mediately charged up.
on them, but not before the chief Of the par.
~ had given warning by the shrlI war whoop.
He fought with eavage desperation, bur The
fiat had gone forth, and he iell before his
camp fire. Several others were MORALLY
wounded. Five escaped, but we have no
doubt they will be overtaksn. Sergeant Refs
and Private Kuhn wera severely wounded.
Taey were sent home with an escort, while
rest OF the commend continued the pursuit.
The, passed McKaveti few days since on
their return to Fon Mason, bearing with
them the trophies OF their victory-,everal
f.e horsss, aud The bow, qniver and arrows
of,hs slain warrior. As his has been the
first successful scouting expedition Of The
Sscond Cavalry, they will doubtless be hail.
