Mrs. William Locke, living near New
burg, New York, while attending to her
domestic duties on Saturday morning
heard the agonized screams of her child,
boy about three years old, who had
gone out into the garden to amuse him
self. She rushed out, and saw the child
struggling with skunk, which had fas-
tened itself on his arm and was chewing
away on his fingers. She gave battle
to the ferocious animal, aud was in turn
attacked and bitten by it on the hand.
She managed to drive it away, and it
was subsequently, killed few hundred

An Amusing Letter.

Hon. L. o. Perrin, of New York, hai
addressed the following letter to Rol
lins, of the Treasury Department
81 New YORK, Nov. IL, 1863.
Hon. Z. 4. Rollins:
My DEAR SIR-Please find enclosed
my "last bill" as Special Agent.
owe your department an apology fol
this long delay and apparent neglect.
But have been 50 earnestly engaged
since last July, in trying to save the
nation through the "unterritied Democ.
racy" that l have NO time to devote
even to personal affairs.
As an evidence of my power and
ability to sway the masses in the right
direction, and save the country if it can
be saved, permit me to add that L
stumped the State of Maine once thor
oughly for Seymour and Blair, and it
went thirty thousand for Grant. Could
have gone over it tpice the presump-
tion is that he would carried il uHaRi-
mously. .- .-.s af
/ am sure you will appreciate such
disinterested labor.
But we have met the enemy and they
are ours "muchly."
Having, as have shown you above,
contributed my full share to bring about
this result, /, of course, bow to the will
of the people.
There are two places, however, l wish
for the future to avoid. One is the Rad
ical Senate, and the other the unappre-
ciated people of PetOrsboro', New Hamp-
shire. One gave me no chance to have
a hearing, asd the Others believed
nothing they heard me say. "H,nor 5
were easy"
But am all right before my own peo-
pie, having just been elected Clerk of
Court of Appeals for three years by
thirty thousand majority. i am there
fore one of the elect, and feel profound
ly thankful that am not as other Dem
ocratic candidates are. Many have
been called, Sut very few chosen.
Being one of the favored few, and
this being positively my last appear.
ance" at your department, may l call
your early attention to the within last
BILL" which, when approved" closes
an official career most agreeable to the
undersigned, and, barring a few stump
ing tours, | trust most satisfactory to
your department.
In or out of office, through victory OF
defeat. remain very truly yours,
Z. o. PERRIN,
Late Special Agent.

Especial to the Ohio Statesman

Especial to the Ohio Statesmau1
SPRING VALLEY. August 2S.
The first political meeting yet held in this
district, was that at Spring Valley, this
afternoon. Mr.. Vallandigham made a
speech of two hours in length to an audi
ence of about six thousand of the citizens
OF Greene county, with such additions from
the counties OF Warren and Montgomery as
were convenient to that point, among
whom were many Republicans who had
never voted a Democratic ticket. -
The pleasant groves adjoining the viii
lage were thronged with such an assembly
ofpeople as was never seen there betore.y
Mr.. Vallandigham seemed to be in the
very best condition for public speaking,
and he made one of the finest and most for
chile speeches of his life. Without under
taking to give you a synopsis of what he
said, or to describe the effect his words had
upon the audience, your correspondent can
pronounce the speech and the meeting one
of the grandest testimonials to the popu-
larity of Vallandigham, and one of the
most significant demonstrations in favor of
Seymour and Blair that was ever presented
under similar circumstances. 't. egi h.e5s
q Mr.. Vallandigham held the audience.
with wrapt attention during the time he
occupied, and Republicans and Democrats
agreed in praising his speech, and in the
conclusion that his argument was unan-
swerable. Inever was more favorably i'm
pressed with Q speaker, or more thorough
ly convinced that the people are right and
on our side. e..---e.r -r.. Fl. 81 B.

@g Indtan Bureau. "a EH
The Indian Bureau has received advices
from Superintendent Murphy, dated Chi
concurs in the views expressed in Agent
Wynkoop's letter, that the inocent Indians
who are trying to keep in good faith their
treaty pledges should be protected, while
he recommends that the Indians who have
committed the recent outrages be turned
over to the military and be severely pun
punished. In view of the Importance of
the case he earnestly recommended that
Agent Wynkeep be furnished promptly
with the views Of the Department. and that
full instructions be given him for his future
action.
Mr.. wynkoop suggests that he be en-
powered to take the Indians whom he
knows to be guiltless of the enormities COM
mitted on the Saline river, and who are de-
sirous of remaining at peace, and locate
them, with their lodges and families, at
some good point which he may select in
the vicinity of Fort Larned, and let these
Indians be subsisted entirely by the Gov
ernment until this trouble is over; to keep
them within certain bounds, and let him
be furnished with small battalion of U.
s. troops for the purpose of protecting them
from their own people, and from being
forced into war. Let those who refuse
to respond to his call to come within the
bounds prescribed be considered at war,
and let them be properly punished. y
By this means, If war takes place. which
he considers inevitable, there will be abili-
ty to discern between those who deserve
punishment and those who DO not.
