INDIAN HUNTERS. two weeks since
party of Mill Creek Indians came down
into the valley opposite this place and stole
some fifteen sacks of wheat, and destroyed q
large amount of vegetables belonging to Mr.
Riggs, and committed depredations at various
other places in the valley at different times
Last Saturday week party of the citizens
went out in pursuit, and came upon the
thieves about forty in number, near Ante
lope Mills. The Indians were encamped in n
dense thicket, which gave them such an ad
vantage over their pursuers, that they all es
capped with the exception of one which was
killed in their flight A great many thing:
which had been taken from the valley were
found at their camp.-Red Bl,sf Beacon.

An INDIAN ACCoUCuMENT-A very deli.
cate crisis in the matrimonial history of an
Indian Chiefs wife.(" hyass tyee Klootch-

occurred on Wednesday evening, between
the hours of nine and eleven o'clock. An
internal bowling, beating of tin pans. grunt

bic mood, to repair to the scene, to inquire
the cause and ifpossible bring it to an ab,
rupt termination. A curious multitude.
throngiRg around the shanty, enabled us
with difficulty to get peep at the myster
lous proceedings going on within. BY dnt
OF elbowlng, we arrived at the door of the
lodge, in the enter of which we discovered

his hands into n basin of water rubbing
them together, la Lady Macbeth thrustng
his arms out stitfiy before him gnashing his

and absurd manner, as to start great drops

bright fire was burning, into which he had
thrust several bones, bowling sort of tune

WHAT THEY THINK OF IIM.-We heard a
prominent Lecomptonite express the hope,
the other day. that Douglas would be defeat
ted in Illinois, and that Lincoln, the Repub
lican candidate, would be elected to the Sen
ate in his place. We believe that such is the
wish of nearly all the Lecompton leaders,
though at present, from motives of policy
they may conceal their real feelings. They
now pretend that they agree with Douglas,
but as soon as the election is over the mask
will be thrown off and he will again be de-
nounced by every pap-eating Federal OH
cial in the State. All the papers, through
out the Atlantic States, which can be con
trolled by the administration, with the Wash

Oar Ndtion-Begotten amidst the storms
of the sixteenth century, its infantile move
ments were dimly and indistinctly seen on
board the May Flower on the rock of Ply
mouth, at jamestown, ON the plains Of Monon-
gahela, and on the heights of Abraham; the
'capricious squalls of its infancy were heard
in the tea party of Boston, in Faneui Hall
on the plains of Concord, Lexington and
Bunker Hill; in his boyhood he ran bare
footed and bareheaded over the field of
Saratoga, Trenton, Princeton, Monmouth and
orktown; whipping his mother and turning
her out of doors; in his youth he stole over
the prairies of the boundless west and called
them his own, paid tribute to the despots of
Bar barry in powder and ball, spit in his
fathers face from behind cotton bales at New
Orleans, whipped the mistress of the ocean,
reveed in thedhalls of Montezumas, straddled
the Rocky Mountains, and with one foot upon
golden sand and the other upon Goldfish and
lumber. defed the world; in his manhood.
clothed in purple and fine linen, he rides over
a continent in cushioned cars, rides over the
ocean in palace steamers, sends his thoughts
on wings of lightning to the world around,
thunders at the door of the Celestial Empire
and at the portals of distant Japan, siaps
his poor old decripit father in the face, and
tells him to be careful how he peeks into any
of his pickaroons, and threatens to make a
sheep pasture of all the lands that Join him.

came idiotic, in consequence, it is supposed,
