NELSON LEES ACCOUNT OF WHAT HI
SAW AMONG THE CAMANcHEs. The Alba
ny Knickerbocker notices the return to thai
city of Nelson Lee, who was taken prisoner
by the Camanche Indians in 1856, neal
Eagle Pass, while on his way from Texas tc
California. lie furnishes the following:
Lees life was spared because the indians
could not manage repeating watch which
he carried. The watch saved his life. In
the Camanche camp Mr.. Lee found no less
than twenty-eight captured white women
and some thirty or forty children. A day
or two after he arrived in camp, they massa
cred an English woman named Anna Has
kin, in most cruel manner They tied
her naked to tree, and in the presence oi
her two daughters, Margaret and Harriet
Haskin, inflicted the most revolving cruelties
upon her. Before Mrs. Aaskin was finally
dispatched, she was tortured for nearly hall
day, during which time the Indians became
excited with liquor, and danced about heT
like so many demons. They took SHARP
pieces of flint and cut her flesh in all posi-
BILE directions. Mrs. Fl. and her daughters
were captured while on their way to the
Mormon settlements at Salt Lake. The
daughters still remain with the Indians
Their ages are II and 10. Lee made hi;
escape in the following manner: He was
accompanying the Chief of the Camanchef
to lodge some miles distant. During the
tramp they met party of Indians, who
gave the chief skin filed with liquor. The
chief drank of the spirits and became ex
cited. Arriving at creek he dismounteC
and stopped down to drink. At this mo-
ment Lee seized his tomabawk. split his heat
open and killed him instantly. He ther
took the chiefs rifle, mounted the chief
horse, aud put for Mexico. When he reach
ed Mexico he was completely naked, whil'
bis feet and legs we're SO swollen from beinl
cut by the cactus plant that he could onl,
ride some eight miles day. The last hund
red miles he did on foot, his horse having
died of exhaustion The Mexicans treatet
him very kindly, and gave him money AM
clothing to reach home. The clothes h
now wears in Albany are those given hin
by the Mexicans.

TEN YEARS AGO.
The New York Times says of Ten Year

The New York Times says of Ten Years
Ago:
Louis Philippe had just vacated the
throne, and the Republic had Just been pro-
claimed, and the millennium was commonly
supposed by the more liberal European poi-
tcans to be near at hand. The rising in
France was followed by risings in every
quarter Of Europe except in Russia. Even
the Chartists had their jubilee, and on the
10th of April, ten years ago, threatened to
ntimidate the House of Commons and ex-
pressed themselves in disrespectful terms
about the Speaker. Mr.. Smith O'Brien and
Mr. Thomas Francis Meagher went as dep
solsmnity by Lamartine, as the representa-
tives Of the IRISH nation, then on the eve of
a sangulnary revolution. People in England
watched their movements with intense arxi>
ETY., and conned over the report of the inter
view between the three potentates with
anxious eyes, not knowing but that an often
sive alliance might come of it, Lamartine
himself was a great man then also. He
lived in splendor at the Hotel de Vile All
the ladies' n France wrote hin letters, and
asked for locks of his ambrosial hair. lie
wore scarf, and had just made the great
trl- color speech which forever ruined the
red flags in the estimation of all respectable
people. Louis Blanc was his colleague, and
so was Ledru Roln. Martin Bernard was p
great man also, and was earning his honora-
ry designation Of CIubbiste, which be has
never since enjoyed. Louis Napoleon had
Just gone across to Paris, leaving his wash
erwoman and number of other persons in
considerable perpIexity ab'ut certain por-
tions of their accounts. Kossulh was ius
beginning to stump the country in Hungary
and Charles Albert to take the field for lib.
erty in Italy. The King of Hanover had
been assaulted by blacksmith in his OWL
palace, and the Pope had fed from Rome
, Ireland was laboring partly in the throes o
famine and partly in the agony of intense
political excitement. John Mitchell wa
threatening to make levy upon all tht
grain in the island for the use of the tenan
farmers, and Gsvsn Duffy was making prep
aratons for erecting barricades in Stephens
Green.

THE F. F. V.'s.-Many of our readers
have either seen or heard of the "First
Families of Virginia" but few, we take it,
know how the term originated. An exchange
explains it thus:
In the early settlement of that State, ii
was found impossible to colonize it unless
women went there. Accordingly ship load
was sent out, but no planter was allowed to
marry one of them until he had first paid.
one hundred pounds of tobacco for her pas
sage. When the second ship load came, n"
one would pay more than seventy. five pounds
for the matrimonial privilege, except it wers
a very superior article. Consequently, the.
descendants of all those who were sold fo'
one hundred pounds of tobacco were ranked
as the first families, while those who brought
but seventy five pounds are now ranked ss
the second families and the reason why no
one can ever find any of the second families,
is because you emit get Virginian to admit
that his mother only brought seventy-fVe
pounds of tobacco.

of the Charleston Courier thus speaks of it ::

to me it possesses a peculiar interest. 1t ia
a representation, aye, and correct one, too
Of grand act in which some of us had the
honor to hold a subordinate character. As
| gazed upon it, memory at once brought
the actual performance before me. | could
hear tie shouts of the troops, as they saw
the stars and stripes unfu. led to the breeze
and bosted upon the " Palacio de National"
| could see the gallant Quuman, the intrepid
Worth. and the veteran Scott, and Scott, az
ne dashed mp in full uniform, attended by
his brilliantly attired staff, and with tears in
bis eyes, attempt to speak to his gallant men,
1t was vain attempt. The silent bow told
all, and it spoke volumes. Again saw my
gallant messmates and comrades in arms. A
tear fe'l upon my cheek as turned from it,
and remembered that was there alone, and
many, very many, Of my friends had fallen
before the victory was won.
They sleep their Inst sleep, they have fought
their last battle,
No sound can awake them to glory again"

ALL is FALsEaBUT HEAVEN.
BY MRS. 1. N. DAVIS

BY MRS. 1. N. DAVIS.
Earth's noblest deeds and purest joys,
Or Oceans gems, to mortals given,
Are crumbling, vain and glitteriug toys;
True bliss alone is found in Heaven.
In youth what visions fancy weaves,
AS seen through times uncertain light,
Our paths are strewn with gilded leaves,
By magic formed to cheer the sight.
These sometimes like the glow-worm's beam,
Emit pale and gentle blaze,
Then, like the meteor's fiery stream,
A moment burn with dazzling rays.
Oh tits not these that fill the soul
With true celestial light and peacei
Nor can such charms the heart control,
When times swift wing our years increase.
Youths gorgeous scenes are waited by,
Like dew upon the morning rose;
'Tis then we grasp without q sigh
The cup whence higher pleasure flows.
From this we drink celestial smiles,
AS fadcless as the mondays sun,
On Oceans fair and sea-girt isles,
Where lowerets bloom and streamlets run.
All life is but fitful dream,
A ship by pillows tost and driven,
Till nourished from the crystal stream,
Which flows through fowery Wales in Heayel
