NORTH GERMAN LLOYD STEAMERS
The new North German steamship Koein,
Capt. FRANKIE, arrived at New Orleans
from Bremen, via Havana, on the 25th
inst, with valuable cargo and eighty-one
Storage passengers. Shortly before ar
irving at Havana the Kein sighted
French gunboat that has been laying off
that port for some time, and who at once
gave chase, but the Koein continued
straight into the harbor, where she anchor
ed Oh the 18th inst. She found there the
steamship Hanover, Of the same line, and
the North German gunboat Meteor, both
virtually blockaded by the Frenchman
outside. On the night of the 10th instant,
both the Kein and Hanover made prepar-
ations to leave port. AT 10 o'clock p M.
they both weighed anchor and boldly
started out to sea about an hour thereaf-
ter the Koein suddenly sighted the French
man within gunshot, but he was evidently
taken unawares, for before he could bring
his guns TO bear, the Kein was quickly
out of reach, and in two hours ran COM
pletely out of sight of the gunboat. The
Hanover, it is learned by telegraph, also
escaped.

ToRIALIEING THE RED MAN.

Washington, January S0.--The Presi-
dent sent to Congress, to-day, the follow
ing message:
To the Senate and House of Representatives l:
l transmit herewith an official copy OF
the proceedings of the council of Indian
tribes, held at Okmulgee in December last,
which resulted in declaration of rights
and a constitution for their government,
together with copy of the report of the
commissioner Of Indian affairs, and the
views of the Secretary of the Interior
thereon.
1t would seem highly desirable that the
civilized Indians Of the country should be
encouraged In establishing for themselves
forms of territorial government compatible
with the constitution of the United States
and with the previous custom towards
communities lying outside of the State
limits.
| concur in the views expressed by the
Secretary of the Interior that it would not
be advisable to receive the new Territory
with the constitution precisely as it is now
framed.
So long as territorial form of govern
ment is preserved, Congress should hold
the power of approving or disappearing of
all legislative action of the Territory and
the Executive should with the advice and
consent of the Senate, have the power to
appoint the Governor and judicial officers
land possibly some others) of the Territory.
This is the first indication of the aborigi-
mes desiriBg to adopt our form of govern
ment, and it is highly desirable that they
become self-sustainng, self-relying, chris
TANNED and civilized. If successful 10
this, their first attempt at territorial gov.
eminent, we may hope for gradual con-
centration of other Indians in the new
Territory.
| therefore recommend as close an adj
herence to their wishes as is consistent
with safety.
1t might be well to limit the appoint
ment of all territorial officials appointed
by the Executive to native citizens of the
Territory. If any exception is made tc
this rule, would recommend that it
should be limited to the judiciary.
1t is confidently hoped that the policy
now being pursued towards the Indian
will fit him for self-government, and make
him desire to settle among people of his
own race where he can enjoy the full
privileges of civil and enlightened govern
ment, u. S. GRANT.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore american writing on Saturday,
says:
The President saw quite large number
of visitors on Saturday, among them seve-
raj Senators and Representatives. Two
or three delegations were also admitted to
an audience, Including one from Virginia
composed of Senator Lewis, Representa-
tive Platt, Supervisor Presbrey and others,
who had business relative to efforts being
made to secure certain changes in offices in
that State.
RAILROAD AccIDENT.-Th passenger
train on the Southside railroad met with
an accident Monday evening near Apo
mattox depot, which came near resulting
seriously. An axle under the second
class coach broke near the wheel, which ran
inside the track under the car and tore off
the breaks on the balance of the train,
bent the axle of the rear coach, and other
wise injured it, SO that it was deemed I'M
safe to take the train further. The pas
sengers, however, were carried through on
the baggage car, and succeeded 10 making
the connection with the Western train.
DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN. Mr.. Jos.
Sanford, one of our oldes. citizens, died
Saturday evening at half after three
o'clock, OF paralysis, about seventy years
of age. In former years he was one of
our most active and public spirited citi-
zeps, and built the "Old Planters Hotel"
on Commerce street. For many years he
kept the hotel at Spotsylyania Courthouse.
Since the war he settled just across the
river in Stafford county, where he lived
when he died. He was widely known
and much respected. Fredericksburg Led

THRIVING TowN.-The town of Gull
pepper is said to be one Of the most thriving
and growing towns 10 our section of Vir-
ginia. Before the war the town had but
1000 inhabitants, now it reports 5000.
fredericksburg had better arouse from its
slumber or she will be eclpsei by this little
country village of few years ago.
A few days ago Vice. President ColTax
received an offer of a salary of $4,000 a
year to resign his office and take charge of
private business. He replied that although
he intended to retire from public life at the
close OF the present term, he fetit his duty
to remain until the expiration of that time,
and therefore he declined the offer.

thirteen years old, by the name of Ferdi-
nand Mitchell, was scot to the Warrenton
Jail on last Wednesday, charged with burn
Jag the barn of Mr.. Smith II. Sharpe, of

AT A BALL iu the old Smelling House in
st. Paul, Minnesota, young man, a
printer, had been dancing with very
pretty young lady whom be had never
met before, and was engaged in some of
the ordinary conversation with her, on the
subject of inatrimony, when he jocularly
proposed to her that they should go out
and get married. She told him to wait
until she could put on her bonnet and
shawl, and she would do it, The young
lady having thus attired herself, went out
with the young man, as she supposed, for
an evening walk, and with no other pur-
pose than to escape, for few moments,
from the heat of the ballroom. While
walking in the moonlight he bantered her
to go aud get married. Of course she
would. She was ready. Nothing would
suit her better. He dared her to go to a
clergyman. She dared him to try her.
Willing the way with this sportful talk,
he approached the house of clergyman,
rang the bell, and they were ushered into
the parlor, and in three minutes were man
and wife. 1t was only then that the
thoughtless young lady, who was in every
respect his superior, realized what she had
done. She besought him to take her home
to her fathers house, renounced him at the
door, and divorce soon after relieved her
OF as worthless scamp as ever lived.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR IN ILLINoIs.--Tke
following are the particulars, as far as can
be obtained, of a recent tragedy perpe-
trated at Rock Grove, Winnebago county,
illinois A farmer (name not given) resid-
ing between Spring Grove and Rock
Grove, recently sold his farm and received
the money last Tuesday. On Wednesday
night he left his home and went to Rock
Run. On his return, and when near his
home, he was confronted by man who
demanded his money. The farmer drew a
revolver and shot the robber dead Starting
for his house, he encountered two other
men, each of whom he dispatched with his
revolver On entering the house he found
his wife and daughter weltering in their
blood, the latter being dead, and his wife
dangerously wounded. When last heard
from, one of the dead men was recognized
as stranger who had recently attempted
to purchase the farm from the farmer. This
story seems to be improbable, but the
details come from several different sources,
and are nearly identical.

Love and War.

In October, 1859, young man in Paris
conceived the idea Of establishing bank
for loans in San Francisco. With the in
tention of examining into the practicable
ty of such project, he at once came to
this country with bis betrothed, Laura
Hallier, beautiful lady, 23 years of age,
and her mother, whose age was 80. They
spent the winter in San Francisco, and
surrounded themselves with large circle
of friends The father of Miss Hallier re-
NAMED in Paris, intending, after disposing
of his property, to join his future son-in-
law iu San Francisco. Investigation con-
WINGED the young man that.the successful
carrying out of his design would require
more money than he and Mr.. Hslier
could possibly bring together. He there
fore wrote to his friends in Paris,
stating his situation, and received in reply
the assurance that he could receive from
them all the money he desired, provided
circumstances continued favorable to the
plan. He decided then TO return to Paris,
leaving his betrothed and her mother in
San Francisco, with the understanding
that on his return his marriage should take
place. Upon his arrival in Paris the war
had broken out, and the banker who held
the young mans property had failed. He
thus found himself penniless, with no
possibility of returning to those he loved,
and subject at any time to be drafted into
the service of France. Writing to San
Francisco, he explained his sad situation
and said that rather than be drafted he
would enter the army as volunteer. Ac-
cordngly he enlisted and went at once to
the front, and nothing has been heard of
him since the terrible battle of Sedan.
Not long after this Mr.. Hallier wrote to
his wife aud daughter, telling them his
utter inability to assist them in any way,
as his entire property at Chateau Dun had
been burned down and he was left utterly
destitute. Nothing further has been heard
from him, except brief note written on a
scrap Of paper, and sent by balloon post,
in which he said they would not know
him, so emaciated had he become through
famine and trouble. Going then to the
French Consul at SanF rancisco, Miss Hal
lier told her sad story, and through his
Influence she sang at the French fair in
that city. Her sweet singing and mourn
full story moved several prominent gentle
men to get up concert, to furnish her
with the means to come to New York city.
Arriving there she sang by request of her
countrymen at the French fair, and recei W
ed much attention. She is at present
arranging to give two concerts in that city,
hoping by them to obtain the means of
returning with her mother to Paris, there
to comfort and support her afllic ted and
destitute father.

Our varied days pass on aud on,
Our hopes fade unfulnlied away,
And things which seem the life Of liie
Are taken from US day by day;
And yet through all the busy streets
The crowd OF peasuresoekers throng
The puppets play, the Snowman calls,
Aud gossips chat the whole day long,
And so the world goes on
Oar little dramas come to naught;
Our lives may fail, our darling plan
May erumbie into nothingness,
Our firmest castle fail to stand
And yet the children sing and dance,
The money-nakers laugh and shout,
The stars, unmindfil, still shine bright,
discussions that our light is out,
And so the world goes on
The house grows sad that once was gay
The dear ones seek their Blessed Home
And we may watch and wait In vain
To hear their well-known footstei come,
And yet the sunlight checks the floor,
And makes the summer shadows long,
The rose-buds at the easement bloom,
The bird pours forth his cheerful song
And so the world goes on
And God goes Oh, and with our woe,
Weaves golden threads of Joy and peace,
Guarding with His heart of hearts,
Our days of pain, our days Of ease
He marks them all-the seed, the sheayes,
The dangers smile, the monrner's tears,
And keeps them safe-IIis children all
Through all the great eternal years,
And SO, thank God, the world goes on
