Ex.Governor Henry IA. Wise aud Messrs.
DeJarnette, and Watts for Virginia, and
Hon. Isaac q. Joncs, late attorney general of
arsland, and Messrs Asdeiotte and Wa.
tiers, for Maryland. After short conference
they adjourned till to-day. A large mass of
testimony has been taken In regard to the
disputed boundary between Maryland and
Virginia, both as to the Potomac side and as
TO the true line between the eastern shore OF
the two States. Twenty.four witnesses
have been examined, and over two hundred
patents and other written evidences going
back as far as the seventeenth century.
General Wise, on the part of Virginia, and
Mr.. Jones Oh that Of Maryland, have each
prepared lengthy and exhaustive statements
of their respective sides of the questions in
dispute. Should the commission not be able
to come to all adjustment it is probable the
questions in issue between the two States
will be referred to arbitrators, one from each
State, who. in case of division, would select
a third as umpire. Should, unfortunately,
neither of these modes result in a settlement,
the courts will have to be resorted to.-Bai-

NOVEL scene AT TIE WHITE HOUSE" ME-
DIcINE BEAR" WANTS TO PUT HIS WAR SHIRT
ON TIE GREAT FATHER. AFTER our report
Of the interview of the Grand River Indian
delegation with the President closed on ST.
turday last, the Tcton.SiouX party were in
troduced by General Cowen. Assistant Sec
rotary OF the Interior, and council with the
Great Father took place. Medicine Bear,
chief of the Teton-SiouX, opened the "big
talk" with speech very similar to the one
he recently delivered before the Secretary of
the Interior; but before doing SO, laid his
huge calumet on the mantlepece, and after
removing his feather head-drcSS deliberately
proceeded to ulshirt himself, to the no small
establishment of the pale faces present.
After divcsting himself Of his neither gar
ment he advanced towards the President,
and holding it alOft was about to put it
over the Great Fathers head when Gene
raj Cowen took hold OF it, and placing
it on chair told Medicine Bear through
the Interpreter that the Great Father would
not wear it Just then, but would accept it
as proof of his (Medicine Bear's) good
| will. 1t seems that il was Medicine Bears
war SHIRT, adorned, in which he had lifted
the hair Of many 4 hapleSS enemy, and that
he desired TO present it to the Great Father
| in token OF the estimation in which be held
| him as the biz chief of the pale faces. Among
| the Teton-Sioux. and in fact among many
other Indian tribes. similar garments are
highly priced, fabulous values being set upon
! them by the wearerS. General CoWen &C
comrancd the delegations to the depot yes
terday morning, and shaking each man by
the hand bid him goodbye. They invited
| the General to como up the Missouri next
! fall and see them, and said they would
treat him well. In his speech at the White
House Medicine Bear told the President that
General Cowcn belonged to him, meaning
that he held him in great eSteem.l and that
his promises to the red mcn had been full

SEARCHING TIE REcoRDs.--The Washing
ton correspondent ofthe Baltimore Sun says !:
"Thc Southern Claim Commission have
just coated from the much-talked-of Con-
federate archives full list Of the names Of
the voters in Virginia in May, 1861, when the
ordinance of secession was voted on. From
this list il can be seen in few minutes
exactly how person voted on that question,
and if q claimant files or has filed a claim for
damages or loss of goods taken by Union
soldiers, and his name is 'for ratification
his clam will be instantly dropped, that
being sufficient for the commission to judge

their claims acted upon by Congress-"
