OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO THE
SHENANDOAH.
Nv York, February 23.-The morning
papers contain further correspondence be-
tween the United States Government and
the British Foreign Office respecting the
Shenandoah's exploits. Mr.. Seward refuses
to recognizs the vessel as the Shenandoah,
asserting that she was no other than the
British registered ship Sea King. He
sharply declares that he did not ask for
proceedings to be taken for the eondemna-
lion of the ship, because the course which
the British government has heretofore pur-
sued in regard to our applications for
justice, was such as to discourage on our
part an expectation Of such disposition OF
Gne vessel; adding, that ths United States
accept her now simply and exclusively
upon the prudential consideration, that be-
ing reduced into our possession she will not
again depart from British waters in hos
lie character.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM INDIANs.-A
correspondent at Susanville sends the
orovills Record the following account Of
an Indian attack on Frank Drake and
Tusler. and their gallant defense while on
the road to Idaho a few days since
The attack was made on the 18th Of
July. about noon. six miles from Summit
Lake Station. They were on their way
to White Horse Valley, with wv two
horse teams, when they were attacked BY
Ave Indians. They made IN effort to get
away by running their horses, and had
gone about one. and q halt miles when
Tusler received q shot in the leg which
broke it. They then concluded to send
Tusler to the station for reinforcements.
He mounted a horse and succeeded in run
ming the gauntlet under FIRE from the In
dams. While Drake was assisting Tusler
of, he received three shots--one in the
hip and two in the legs. He immediately
took refuge under his wagon, with his
Henry rife, and concluded to Fight il out,
or at least to keep the Indians at bay until
reinforcements should arrive. He sue
ceeded in killing one and wounding an.
other, when the Indians concluded to
retreat. Drake was found in a very weak
condition from loss Of blood, and taken to
the station, where he was well cared for.
He is doing well, and will soon be about
again. Il Is expected that Tusler's leg
will have to be amputated.

I THINK, sir, It is a strange era in the
history Of the American Government
when, in Congress, we are to punish a
portion of the people by depriving them
Of their political rights. I thought here
tofore, when men had committed crimes,
they were to be punished in the Courts Of
law. II they presumed to make a rebel
lion, we opposed force to force, and in
that manner, to some extent, they have
been punished. Why, sir, all the institu-
tons Of the South were based upon slay-
cry. Il was the substratum Of the aris-
tocratic system which raised armies against
the Government, and they have been pun
ished by having that swept away. In
deed those men who had political power
and were the rulers in the South are no
more potent than I or any other humble
individual in this country to-day, except
so far as their individual weight and merit
aids them. They have been punished In
that respect. They have lost large NUM-
bers of their population. They have lost
the prestige which made them leading
men, and they are not to regain it except
through petty divisions among ourselves
we throw il into their hands.-Hon. ID. Il.
AshLy's speech.
