Of Members Of Con ngress.- The Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
"a writer who seems to have had expert
ence in all sorts of iniquity that he may
advise the innocent-thus addresses him
self to the wives of the members of Con-
gress:
"The truth is-and my experience, I
mean my observation, confirms it-no wife
should allow her husband to come here
without accompanying him, and, while
here, sticking to him like wax. 1t is a
place of seducing temptations, which the
sinner don't pretend to resist, and the right
eous can hardly flee from by regular fast
ing and prayer. Wives, stick to your hus-
bands, is my advice"

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.

When Socrates, the wisest of the Athen-
ians, was about to die, he thought of the
game, not making game of some luckless
wight unfortunate to trust him but paying
his just debt in game, by reminding his
friend, 1--WE owe a cock to Esculapius.' y,
1t was small affair to dying man, but it
illustrates principle. History adds, the
debt was paid. There are great many
outstanding bills. The panic, crisis. crash.
or by whatever name the unhappy condi-
ton into which the reckless spendthrifts,
speculators and robbers of the Common
wealth brought the country and aworking
men, may be called, presents no ordinary
temptation to men of principle and nc
principle, to pay as few debts as possible,
and to put off payments of December to a
later season, or next year. This is an un-
sound policy, People must be honest, and
the way to be so is to settle up before the
New Year, and give as few hostages as
possible to fortune. Even leaving honesty
anything unsettled, as it casts reflection,
and Injuries public and private credit. de-
stroying the confidence so indispensable to
public veal. If a man meets his engage
ments the best he can, promptly, justly,
fully, he will set all example of great prac-
tical use, and one by which, in its reflex
action, he will reap far more advantage. in
the long run, than leaving undane what is
clearly his duty to do. Time draws on
the country trusts its best interests to its
citizens. If they are faithful, the smoke
will clear away. and prosperity unequaled
beam upon the land.

A MIRACLE.-The well known French
missionary, Father Bridaine, was always
poor, for the simple reason that he gave
away every thing he had. One evening he
asked for nights lodging of the curate of
a villege through which he passed, and the
worthy man, having only one bed, saared
it with him. At aybreak Father Bridaine
rose, according to custom, and went to say
his prayers at the neighboring church.
Returning from his sacred duty he met a
beggar, who asked an alms, "Alas, my
friend, have nothing" said the good
priest, mechanically putting his hand in
his breeches pocket, where to his astonish-
ment, he found something hard wrapped up
in paper, which he knew he had not left
there. He hastily opened the paper, and
seeing four crowns in it, cried out that it
was a miracle He gave the money to the
beggar, and fastened into the church to
return his thanks to God, The eurate
soon after arrived there, and Father Bri-
daine related the miracle with the greatest
JUNCTION; the curate turned pale, put his
hand in his pocket. and in an inSSant per-
ceived that Father Bridaine, in getting up
in the dark, had taken the wrong pair of
breeehes; he had performed a miracle with
the curate's crowns.

BABY AFFAIR.

Last Saturday evening, says the Boston
Traveller, a gentleman residing at Jamaica
Plain was sitting with his wife and some
friends at their parlor fire, when the door
bell was violently rung. The lady arose,
but then suggested to her husband that as
the girl was out he had better 60 to the
front door. Accordingly he opened it, and
found no one there; but there was a nicely
done up basket, covered with white linen,
at his feet, and he thought he heard the
rustllng of female dress departing. After
looking vainly up and down the street and
around the portal, he took the basket into
the parlor. On the covering being removed
a beautiful little child appeared, some five
months old. The lady screamed, one of
the lady visitors took up the baby and
found note pinned to its dress, which
charged the gentlemen of the house with
being the father, and implored him to sup
port it. A rich scene ensued between the
injured wife and the indignant husband, the
latter utterly denying all knowledge of the
little one, and asserting his innocence.
The friends interfered, and at last the wife
was induced to forgive the husband, al
though he still stood to it liks Trojan
that he had always been faithful husband.
Finally the lady very roguishly told her
husband that it was strange he should not
know his own child, for it was their mutual
offspring, which had just been taken from
its cradle up stairs by the nurse, for the
very purpose of playing the joke and the
surprised husband finally joined in the
laugh which was raised at bis expel.se.

Reported Massacre Of Five Hun
dred Soldiers by the Indians
Inkp aduta, sc.
PAJUrAzEE. Ootober 25. Is57.

PAJUTAzEE, October %, 1857.
A report reached this neighborhood on
day before yesterday, that 6vs bundled
American soldiers have been cut off by a
large party Of Teetonwan, near tho Mis-
souri, river. The news was brought here
by a man from near the upper end Of Big
Stone Lake, whose son-in-law Zone Of she
upper Sissitonwan) had just returned
from a camp Of the Ihanktonwan, on the
Missouri river, where he heard the news.
He reports that whilst he was there a
number Of Heetonwsp came to the camp
Of TIE Ihanktonwah to dance the scalp
dance, and that he saw them mounted on
the dragoon horses, with the holsters and
pistols which they had taken. They said
that she Long Knives we're going to war,
and not very far from some Fort on the
Missouri and as they proceeded westward
they camped near large body Of the
Teetonwan, who, hearing their drums,
in the night surrounded the camp, and
while they were nearly all asleep rushed
upon them, and killed them with their
knives and war-clubs before the Long
Knives could get their guns and horses,
and not one escaped.
The young man who brought the news
IN Big Stone Lake, says that at feast. to
which he was called by the Ihanktouwan,
he sat next to Inkpaduta, who said to
him-'Last summer You Sissitonwan
tried to kill me for killing some Long
Knives. Now. far more Long Knives
have been killed but was not present.
| have, however, found relatives among
the Teetonwan. who will receive me kind
w." He confirms the report of the old
mans entire blindness, and says that be-
sides himself two Of his sons and SON
iu.law are in that region.
/ have confidence in my informant that
he gave me the above news as he received
it from the Missouri, and he believes il
true; but, as he is not acquainted on the
Missouri River, could NOT learn from
him on what part Of the river the Fort
is situated from which the solliers were
going. but it was probably some detach'
ment Of the army marching TO Utah.
He says the place Of the battle is only five
OF six days travel between two and three
hundred miles from Big Stone Lake.
As the messenger came express to bring
the news, it is probably not more thar
two or, at least, three weeks since tbs
battle occurred.
They report further that a party Of th'
lIhanktonwan had recently returned from
an unsuccessful expedition against tn,
Good Ventures or Riccarus, who reside
on the Missouri above them. They hay
ing in this expedition lost five or six o
their soldiers, they propose coming mex
spring or summer to cry to the Sisslton
wan. Warpetonwan and Madewakanton
wan fof help TO extirminate those of thei
enemies. The Sissitonwan are apprehen
sive they will come in large numbers
with view Of being present at the annu
ity payment, and give much trouble I

among them, and nave sent to advise tn
Warpetonwan urgently to request tina
the payment may be made early and b
over before they come, and thas preyen
