WASHINGTON, May 3. 1869.
Tie Navy Department Gay received dispatches
from Rear Admiral r. r. Craven, dated Marc Island
March 81, enclosing reports from Commander Meade
OF the United States steamer Saginaw, Of his opera
tions In Alaska where that has been stationed
for several months. Among the reports IL one re-
latiEg to the destruction OF certain villages and
stockaied forts belonging to the Kakc Indians as
punishment for the murder OF two American trades
men, Ludwig Maager and William Walker. These
two men lett sitka on trading expedition In De-
cember last ana were killed revenge for native
killed by United States soldier. Major General
Davis, his chief OF stan, Captain Mcintyre and
seventeen soldiers accompanied the expedition.

day the salmon fisheries and two stockaded forts at
Security bay One town, three villages, consisting
OF about thirty-fve houses eight canoes and two
forts were DESTROYED In ALL 1t believed that the
burning OF the villages would be far greater punish
ment than the and execution OF the murderers,
as the Indians in that region are said to place little
value on lie, and frequently compound for
murder with a few blankets In their wars

without great labor and time The Kekow5, or
Kakes, have long been notorious IA bad tribe, and
their murder OF Mr.. Ebbey, United States Collector,
and the crew OF the Royal Charlie, had never been
avenged. The Indians had abandoned their settle
ments on the approach OF the Saginaw.
Commander Meade reports that while on the
peditiOn he entered bay on the northwest end OF
kow Island, which, from Its advantages as harbOr,
he named security Bay" and the anchorage "Snug
Harbor." The bay is about six and half miles in
extent with an average depth Of ten lathoms to the
anchorage, and from nile to three fathoms else
where. Commander Meade considers it the best
rendezvous possible for a whaling ieet-superOr
to Sltka-and a better site for a military
post than KoOtz-Naboo. 1t has never be-
fore been entered by vessel Of war. The Hud-

THE NAPoLEoNIc THEoRY.-It was the
great Napoleon's rule to concentrate his
forces upon the enemy's lines, at certain
assailable points, and then conquer. In
every disease ''that flesh is heir to" the
BLOOD is the weak point, and element
involved. The blood purified, invigorated
and strengthened, we carry the lines
and outworks of disease, and plant upon
its very citadel the waving banner of
health. This is the theory of HE1N1rsH,
and with his Queens Delight, he accom-
plishes the work. This the way he at.
tacks disease; this the line of march in
which he wins the golden crown-a
trophy of victory and success.
Disease assumes as many forms as
Proteus has shapes, and all may be traced
to a foul vitiated condition Of the blood.
Boils, Carbuncles, Pimples, Blotches, are
only the indications Of that bad state of
the blood, which, if not removed, will
determine in more serious ailments, Con-
sumption, Liver Complaint, Headache,
nervous disorder, general breaking
down and loss of health. Heinitsh's
Queens Delight is n sovereign specific for
the blood, general in its application, and

WELL SA1p.-The Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel speaks thus: "Since the re-
construction of South Carolina and the
establishment of negro government, the
white people of Edgefield County,
though all of them ardent Democrats,
and, as snch, bitterly opposed to the
possession of the State being turned over
to race of ignorant negroes and few
Infamous carpet-baggers and scalawags,
have been among the most quietand law
abiding citizens of the State. Though
nearly all Of the younger men of the
County were in the Confederate army
where many of their number were slain
and were not disposed to look very
kindly upon the new order of things
yet, restrained by the example and ad-
vice of such men as Bonham, Gary and
Butler, who were their Generals during
the war, they have carefully refrained
from doing anything which would give
to their enemies pretext to oppress
them. But it appears that their good
conduct has been of no avail and that
the miserable tyrant, Scott. and his un-
derlings have determined to drive them
to desperation"

ARTIFICIAL Beauty.

In O recent trial in London, Madame
Rachel, the celebrated female enameler,
put in an affidavit, in which, among
other things, she testified as follows.
Since my removal to Bond street I
have had, and still have, much patron.
age and custom from the nobility and
aristocracy generally, and I obtain high
rate OF remuneration for the services
rendered, and high prices for the articles
which supply. In 1866, an offer was
made to me to 60 to America to establish
q business there, and my attorney ar
ranged to accompany me as my legal ad-
wiser and general manager. but owing to
a serions accident in Paris, by which 1
was dangerously injured, tho offer could
not be accepted, nor the arrangement
carried out.
Mrs. Mary Tucker Borrodaile first be-
came one of my customers twenty years
ago, when she was the wife of an Indian
officer; and during the time she was in
India with her husband, I supplied her
both with articles of clothing and in the
way of my trade and business.
In May, 1866, Mrs. Borrodaile was de-
sirous of being enamelled by me, for
which my fee is, and has been for many
years, 1000 guineas, and she proposed
to give me her acceptance for G1, 900,
payable at Messrs. Grindley's bank, but
not including the odd ESQ which it is al
ways understood is to be given to the
poor by my customer or myself, and
which Mrs. Borrodaile elected to pay on
her own account. From the representa-
ton received from NY attorney. con-
sented to take her acceptance, and Mrs.
Borrodaile went through the entire pro-
cess Of enamelling and beautifying. She
at that time had scarcely any hair on her
head, except here and there rusty grey
patches, and her skin was in n frightful
state of eruption from disease of many
years standing, which had caused her
the loss of her teeth. Her two sets of
teeth she ordered of Mr.. Eskell, dentist,
of Hanover square, aud for these I have
already paid fifty guineas on her account,
leaving ten guiueas still duo on that ac-
count. She now has a head of beautiful
natural golden hair, by my process of re-
storation, and her skin has become
young and fresh, and perfectly healthy
On the 10th of June, 1866, lent Mrs.
Borrodaile $500 in cash, for which took
q receipt and her bill at month. Both
acceptances were dishoncred, and. al
though handed them over to my attor-
ney to recover the amounts, have never,
to my knowledge, been paid, although,
on the 5th of July, 1866, Mrs. Borrodaile
sold ont. through the attorney, $96S
stock for that purpose.
On the 18th of July. 1866, sold Mrs.
Borrodaile jewelry to the amount of ESQ,
for which sue gave mo her o U, and,
although handed it over to the attor.
ney for him to get paid, have not re-
ceived the money.
