Despatch to the Associated Press.
Indian Capttves Released.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs has received a report from Indian
Superintendent Thomas E. Murphy, dated Atchi'
son, Kansas, August 6, enclosing two letters
from John Il. Tappan, who was member OF the
late Peace Commission, dated respectively July
and 26, 1868, and stating that the Kiowas had
delivered up TO him, as proof Of their friend
ship for the whites, boy about four, and a girl
about thirteen years OF age, and that he had
handed them over to General Alfred Sully, COM
manding the district of the Upper Arkansas
Superintendent Murphy on his recent visit to
Larned, saw this boy aud girl at Fort Harker.
General Sully said he intended to send the girl
to st. Mary's Mission, to be taken care Of by the
sisters, and to keep the boy until it can be as
certained where their friends and relatives
reside. The Comanches had also brought in
and delivered up to Agent Wynkoop, without
ransom, girl about nine years old. This child
Agent wynkoop preferred to keep with his
family, until it can be ascertained where her
father and mother reside.
He says they were not taken prisoners nor
killed that her name Is Cordell, and her grand
fathers name is Albright, but cannot tell what
State or country they reside in. The Comanehes
still hold one boy, who they have promised to
deliver up to their new agent when he gives

this is the only white captive now held by the
KioWas and Comanches. ...,

Death Of Young Lady from DisappOint-
ment In Love.

The Boston Journal of yesterday says:-"A
sad but interesting case of the death OF a young
lady named Susan King, is a general topic of
conversation at Woburn at the present time.
The deceased had been affianced to young man,
to whom, it appears, she was deeply attached
Some weeks since she happened to observe him
in company with another young woman, under
such circumstances as to give rise to feelings OF
jealousy on her part. She upbraided him for
his conduct, and he replied to her remonstrances
in spirited manner, which further provoked
her to dismiss him. 1t seems, however, that she
still cherished in secret the old affection, and
the disappointment so weighed upon her mind
as to cause severe nervous attack, resulting,
about ten days since, in utter prostration. She
remained in this condition until her death,
which occurred on Saturday last. The circum-
stances having been SO peculiar, and the malady
having bafied the skill of the physicians, it was
deemed proper an autopsy should be performed
which was kore on Monday by Drs. Cutter and
Abbot. No trace of disease, or obvious cause of
death was discoverable, but the system was
apparently in an entirely healthy and normal
condition. The deceased was a person of excel.
lent character and fine personal appearance,
and was much esteemed and beloved.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13,-Early this morning
the late residence of Thaddeus Stevens was be-
sieged by large crowd, mostly of colored
people, anxious TO view the remains. Only
few personal friends were admitted, as the

commodate the crowd. Among those present
were Rev. DR.. Gray, Chaplain of the Senate;
General J. A. EkiD; Sergeant.at.A Arms, Brown
and Senator Mcdonald. Soon after IL o'clock q

colored military company, arrived at Mr.. Ste--
vens' house, under command of Captain Haw-
kins.
At IL O'Clock the coffin was closed, and pre-
parations made to convey the body to the Capt.
tol. The pall-bearers were composed of colored
and white men, two of the latter being James
Reese and John Chancey, who we're in the habit
of carrying Mr.. Stevens from the carriage to his
seat in the House. The coffin was surrounded
by colored zouaves, aud the procession, consist
ing of them and few friends, proceeded to the
Capitol, where arrangements had been made to
have the body of the deceased lay in state AS
soon as the doors were opened, large crowds
congregated outside, rushed in, and passed
around, viewing the remains of Mr.. Stevens in

tunda, President Lincoln being the first The
