The Fox Indians.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE ex-Chief of
the Fox tribe had an interview with the
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs this fore
noon,in relation to their material interests.
The Sacs and Foxes have already reserva-
tion in Kansas and an annuity of SOL, 200,
but the Foxes will not live with the Sacs,
and have located in Kansas, and now want
the Government to change arrangements
to suit their circumstances. They were
asked, among other things, how they would
like to 60 into the Indian Territory, where
it was proposed to establish govern
ment, embracing many of the Indian
tribes, but they said they wanted to think
all matters over. They had always been
good friends to onr Government and peo-
ple. When, however, they came to talk
with their white father, there was always
something harsh. This was wrong, They
could get along better with smooth and
easy words. They wanted to see their
white father, the President. ~ u'Gr- =
The Commissioner replied that If the
Foxes ran away from their reservation and
discarded the treaty, all advantages would
inure to the Sacs. They must go back, or
give some good reason why they do not re-
turn.
The chief replied that it was impossible
for them to live with the Sacs. They were
to have another talk with the Commissioner
and were promised sight OF the white
father before they left Washington.

She erected ships and manned them; she ran
our blockade,and supplied the enemies ofthe

to prolong the war, and all out of hatred to
our free Institutions. We must repay her for

A Delegation OF Baltimore Ladies
Wait on the President. --,-

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE National In
telligencer, in noticing a visit to the Presi-
dent yesterday of delegation of ladies
from Baltimore, and the presentation of a
petition numerously signed, asking the
cleinency of the Executive in behalf of JEFF.
Davis, says: The interview was protract-
ed one and of the most agreeable character,
and the fair petitioners lett the city carry
ing with them the most pleasurable i'm
pressions of tho President. On declining,
the President regretted that the national
character of the question restrained all
private sympathy which they might have
awakened in him, and made the important
statement that complete arrangements have
been made for the early legal trial OF Mr.
Davis, according to the laws OF the land.
