AnnlrR at New Orleana.

New ORLEANS, June 9.--The city has re.
sumed general appearance of quietuess,
the only movements calling for special re-
mark being the continued arrest of members
of the late vigilance committee, on warrants
issued by the authorities. Since my last
dispatch, there have been over dozen arrests,
and more are expected before the close OF the
day. Major J. X. Duncan, one of the get
tiers up OF the independent movement, 40
energetic supporter Of the viglants, has been
sued, and the cotton bales used for the street
barbados have been attached for damages
done to the court buildings while occupied
by the vigilauts. Recorder Solomon, how
ever, has been refused authority to act in the
case, on the ground that his feelings are in
support Of the igilants.

Our Nicaragunn Relations.

We are satisfied that the steamer oil the

in Nicaragua, Gen. NJ. B. Lamar, dispatches
to be communicated to the Government to
which be is accredited, embracing q virtual
declaration of the determination Of this Gov"
ernment to enforce, 10 future, what 1t re-
CARDS IS being its rights and those OF Amer
lean citizens, on the NIcaraguan Isthmus -
Thus we have every reason To believe that
virtual demand has been made on MARITIME
for the prompt return 10 Washington OF the
Cass-IrIsarri treaty ratified not long since by
the Nicaraguan Constituent Assembly, &C
companied by an intinatiOn that 1t is the de-
termination OF the Government If the United
States to maintain at all hazards and under
all circumstances, the rights, both public
and private, $50 far as the latter affect Amer.
lean public interests which Nicaragua has
herself recognized therein. We further be-
lieve that strong protest against European
interference to affect cur relations with Nc
aragua is em braced IN the document on which
we are commenIlng-a protest 10 whlcA 1t
is distinctly declared 10 effect, that the Mon
roe doctrine will be carried out to the letter

gered by the late intrigues of Monsieur Belly

At the late Inauguration Dinner of the
Long Island College Hospital, sentiments
we're proposed and speeches offered By repre-
sen,atives of the clergy of, we believe, all the
Christian Churches. Rev. Dr.'Ninton, Arch
bishop Hughes, Rev. DR.. Storrs, Rev. Mr..
Milburn, Rev. Mr.. Prime, and others, met
upon the common platform Of practical be-
nevolence Mr.. Miiburn, in his speech,
expressed his qualification at the liberal
spirit of the enterprise where Catholic
Archbishop is followed by New England
Puritau--wh here all sects and parties unite in
a good cause in carrying out the example Of
Hin who cleansed the leper, gave a tongue
Of vivid eloquence to the dumb, and light and
sunshine to the blind" The occasion was
happy and refreshing one, and shows that
there is at least one platform, that Of deeds
of mercy to the suffering, on which all the
followers OF Him who went about doing
good" may unite.

wood and Coal for Loo o IN olives.

TIE practical utility and ecouomy of coal
as a substitute for wood, on locomotives, has
been repeatedly demonstrated, as we have
shown on NUN berless occasions. The Bslti-
more and Ohio Railroad has, notwithstand

places simply for the cost Of cbopping and
hauing, aud yet, that company has repudla-
ted it 6s a fuel aud substituted coal az beng

economical The result on this road has, We
are glad to observe, induced other roads to

A story OF Female Usroism.

In the course OF a recent speech in Con-
grcss. by the Hon. Joseph Lane, Of Oregon,
he related the following incident which &C.
Cured in the Indian war OF Oregon:
Nv bile 10 Oregon last summer, | took oc.
sion to inquire of the chief, who was mainly
instrumental in getting up this war, to learn
the particulars of the fate OF some Of our
people who disappeared in the war Of 1855,
and of whom we had been able 10 learn moth
lag.
When | suggested to the agent, i1 the coun-
ell. that | proposed to inquire into the fate Of
Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. Haynes, and others, he
was incln.d to think lt would raise the bitter
feelings Of the Indians, but said that we
could make the inquiry. told him that
had passed through the country where these
people had lived, and that their friends were
very anxious to learn their fate. We To-
auired in relation to Mrs. Wagner, who was
well educated and handsome woman from
New York, who had lived long 10 the country
and spoke the Indian tongue fuently.
She kept public house by the roadside,
and the good cheer which she always fur
nshrd, made it place where travellers de.
Lighted to stop. The Indians Informed us
that on the morning of the 9th Of October
they came in sight of tho house, where they
met some team tiers and pickers, portion Of
whom they murdered, destroying the wagons
and cargjes, as well as the animals, while
she was standlng IN the door.
As soon a they had murdered the people
outside, they came towards the house, which
was strongly built of hewn logs, and had
heavy door, which fastened with cross bars.
When she saw them running towards the
nouse, she shut the door, and dropped the
bars TO prevent their coming in. They came
to the door, and ordered Der to come out, and
Uri1g her little girl She said no"
Ierhusband was abscnt--and, by the way,
ne was the only man on that road who es
capped. They said that if she did not come
out they would shoot her. She declined:
aad after some delIberatioD, they determined
to set the bcu-e on fire. The house was d.
reetiy involved ID flames; aud the chief, who
watched her through Little window, told
me that he saw her 20 20 the glass and ar.
range her hair, then take seat 10 the mid
die of the room, fold Der little girl 10 her
arms, and wait calmly until the roof fell in,
and they persisted 10 the flames together
Aud the statement was confirmed by the peo-
pie who found their remains lying together
in the middle of the house"
