A WAR DANCE IN wAsHINGros.-The 9th ult.

to see review Of a large body Of marines, and q
great number Of ladies' and gentlemen attended. The
Union says: s. z.
After the parade, the Indians were requested TO
entertain the ladies' with display of their saltatory
skill, which they did with some reluctance as sew
eral Of them are troubled somewhat with colds and
hoarseness. They came forward, however, and
squatted in circle around one Of their number who
had been furnished with a drum, upon which he
began to beat in o monotonous manner. Soon one
struck up chaunt in which Others gradually joined
and then--one by one-they sprang up, and com
menced their fantastic war-dance. Such shaking Of
scalps, such brandishing Of tomahawks, such un-
couth attitudes, and such an eccentricty of move
ment as was promscuously induleed in cannot be 90
described as to be comprehended BY those who have
never witnessed of these displays. At times they
would rest, and, squatting in a circle, favor the
audience with vocal music of most unearthly des-
cripton.

Having been informed of this / would be wanting
in my duty ii did not hasten to dispatch to you my
most sincere thanks not so much for the honor that
you do me- as for tS generous thought which inspires
you to proclaim to the world the Innocence of this
beautiful and unhappy victim Of paternal ihhumany
and of the furious cnpidity of the priests BY your
means your strong countrymen shall know the pro-
gress Of literature, and how, under the claws Of
the priests and Austrans hearts beat with eternal
palpitations and that neither death, prisons nor
exile avail to prevent from saying in the face
of our oppressors, you are tyrants This infamous
and constant oppression must necessarily cease. If it

goodness OF God This shall never be in the mean
time, blessed be tho e who, with friendly words en-
courage the oppressed to persist in the struggle.
beg you, then, to accept my gratitude, together
with that of my country, as well my best wishes
for your happiness.

A married couple Of Cincinnati, after living
together for thirty years. recently pettioned the
Ohio Legislature for a divorce, without, however,
assigning any reason for this abrupt termination Of
their domestic relations The matter was referred to
committee, which, in due time, presented the fol-
lowing report:
The petitioners-James and Maria Sutton-do not
sufficiently set forth the cause why they mutually
severed and parted = and after cohabitation of
these reasons. They leave an immense range of in
ference in the minds of this learned assembly. They
might have been dissatisfied with each others per-
sonal beauty, weared with their respective mutual
attractions. They might have been fighting con-
stantly for thirty years, and at last both being
hausted, and neither being able TO come up to
time," they mutually backed out fzzled and crawled
away from the scene Of combat Again some direfui
fend, in moustaches and patent leather boots, may
have ntruded his fascinating but diabocal phz
into their peaceful, domestic circle, poisoned the
happiness OF that shrine and finally caused sepa-
ration between the blessed pair, and a connection
between his own back and tough cowhide. Which
OF these is the cause of the split the committee are
unable to say. 4f. si
Again, they are of opinion that two mortal sin
ners who have been in purgatory for thirty years,
should certainly be put through in direction or
the other, instead Of being allowed to return to the
terrestrial condition of their former state. prece
dent will be found for this course in the case OF Or

quietly pursue the course they praetced for thirty
years, and mutually return to each others bosoms ;
and would advise this course for reasons as follows
