The Indians shot two oxen Of Fields night before

II is certain that the Indiana know.of the more

Gen. Twiggs sent up by an escort to accompany one
of the Indian expeditions guide, while the escort

instated him in his native haunt but the soldiers

The SIcKLEs AFFAIR IN LoNDoN.-A recent NUM-
Der of the London Chronicle says: s
Some of our contemporaries have given currency to
report respecting Mr. Sickles which We are enabled
to state is as unfounded it ia calumnious The re-
port in question is, that Mr. Sickes, when attached
| to the American Legation, iDsuted her Majesty BY
presenting lady Of bad character at the Court Any
person conversant in the least degree with the forms
required for presentation by ministers OF foreign
courts must perceive at once the gross ahsurdty Of
any such charge. During the whole time that Mr..
| Buchanan was Minister at London there were not
more than eight ladies' presented through the Amer-
can Embassy, and Mr. Buchanan being bachelor the
whole of the presentations Of ladies were made
through the Countess of Clarendon or Miss Lane, the
niece of Mr. Buchanan and it is scarcely necessary
to state that during the residence Of that Minister in
this country, it not in the power OF Mr. Sickles
to present. to ask for presentation for lady.
In America, unfortunately, partisan feeling runs some
times very high, and the charge to which We have re-
ferred, which was originated there, has been Tery
thoughtlessly and recklessly repeated here The po
sition of Mr. Sckes is sufficiently painful at the pre-
sent time without SANDER being busy with his repUt
ton and character in this country.
