POLITICAL ADDRESS FROM TUB CHAIRMAN OF THE REIM IBGICAN SOMHEIIS' AND SAILORS' COMMITTEE. COMRADES: —When the rebel armies 1 were overthrown and the rebel leaders for given by our magnanimous Chief, the whole world wondered at the generosity which pardoned men guilty of sceh a | crime. The least we expected was that | the Government, for which wo had fought and for which so many had given up their lives, was secured against the possibility of another conspiracy. But warned by | history and taught by our own experience among the misguided people of the South, , we maintained our organizations, and now, in the forefront of another perii, congrat ulate ourselves upon the wisdom of that deeisiou. So throughly have our milita ry brothers reunited themselves lhat only a lew who wore the Union blue can be in duced to join the ranks of the rebel l)e i mocracy. Our camps extend East and ; West; from the Atlantic to the Pacific; | and there is not a veteran who does not ro ; alize that the public danger may once more call him to the held. The alarming spec tacle of a formal combination between the i two great columns of treason —the rebel army of the Mouth and the rebel ,ympa thizcrs of the North—is the liviog proof of great impending calamities. These j desperate men—the one side still vaunting i their treason against the country, and the other still boasting of the aid and comfort | extended to them —profess to be confident! ! of success in the approaching election. The i animosity they bore to our beloved Com mander-in-chief—now the candidate of the great Republican party —survives the hol low gratitude with which they hailed his liberal terms of peace, and now, reuieni beriug ouly that he struck them in the field, and coldly forgetting how he forgave ; their great offence, they are toiling with superhuman eneigy to defeat him for the Presidency, and to place in that high of ! fiee -a fit successor of its pre?cnt guilty oc- ; ; cupaut. Their hatred of Grant extends to all our heroic ieaders, with one or two j exceptions. The only offence of these ae- 1 I complished soldiers is their fidelity to the ; country for which they fought. Genera) George H. Thomas in Tennessee, General Irwin McDowell in Mississippi, General George 11. -Meade in Georgia, General Canby in South Carolina, and General i Keynolds in Texas, with their predeces- j sors, Sheridan, Sickles, Pope, Swayne, j j and Mower, are proscribed and slandered ! —like common felons—while every Union : man in the South, black and white, is sub ; jected to inconceivable cruelty and oppres- j sion. This wholesale malevolence, look \ ing directly to the restoration of the rebel governments, teaches us not only the wis dom and justice of our organization, Lut invokes us to renewed efforts in favor of Grant aud Colfax, the standard-bearers of the Republican party, and for our gallant comrades, Hartranll aud Campbell, our standard-bearers in the Slate coutest. The fundamental ideas of this rebel j j combination arc lhat nothing has been | gained by the success of our arms, but that every thing has been lost. To forget j the sanctified dead, to ignore and outiage i the gallant living, and to remember and ! reward those only whose crimes in any ! other nation would have been punished by death or confiscation, is the inspiring mo live of our adversaries. What American j soldier does not feel the insult? What' American citizen does not burn to resent i it? Instead of cordially submitting to ! : the laws passed by overwhelming Con- j gressional majorities, and carried into ef- i lect for the grand purpose of reorganizing ■ the South upon the basis of equal justice and equal rights, our recent adversaries openly threaten a new resort to arms. At no period in the rebellion have they' been at once so defiant and so cruel. Uni- | ted in antagonism to the laws, to the na tional eredit. to ihe national currency, to ! the public peace, aud to those great prin ciples for which we contended, and suc ceeded in maintaining, they cnoly appeal to the jieople and ask a verdict in favor of their incredible crimes. Speaking now for the returned Volunteers of Pennsylva nia, who were disfranchised by the Sey m ur Democracy, we solemnly renew our dcvotiuli to our beloved country, and ae eert, not simply our readiness to support our candidates at the ballot-box, but our determination, at all times, to march to our Government's defence against her en emies.

Y July 13, 1808. ) I didn't stay in Noo York till the Con ventual adjourned, for a most excellent rea son, to wit, viz : uiv mouey run out. The Mclesian female with whom 1 wuz forst to board required payment in advauce, aud uv course under sich an arrangement there wut j nothing left for me but to succuni. The length uv my stay redoost itself to a mere ! matter uv mouey. I tried the borrowin dodge, and the chcekin dodge, but good Lord ! wat cood Ido with an entire Con venshuu, all uv 'em more or less tryin to live in the same way? I left aud came home while I cood, and before it was ever lastingly too late. When 1 left I spozed ther wuz no doubt uv the nouiinashen uv Pendleton. The "young eagle uv the West" hed received 155 votes, and wuz againin, and Seymour bed declined so often aud so persistently that goin back on my yoosual disbeleef in these fellers, hcvin de clined a great many offices myself lhat 1 wanted. I reely beleeved the cuss wuz in earnist, and saw nothing that cood stand between Pendleton and success. Ez I left the Ohio river, I got out uv the reach uv railrods aud telegraphs, and I told the peo ple all along that Pendleton hed bin notui" nated on the loth ballot, and that the coun try wuz all ablaze with enthoosiasm for him and greenliax, so certain wuz I uv his sue cess. On arriving at the Corners, I found that intense anxiety wuz manifested by the cifci jz- ns thereof. They were all gathered at Base irn's discussin the matter when I hove in sight 011 a mule wieh I hed borrowed at Seccssionville t© ride over onto, i "Who is it?" asks Dukin Pograni, keteh- BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 14.

"Pendleton, the young eagle uv the West, who is opposed to the bloated aristocratic bondholders, wieh wood crush as labrin wen into the dust. Pendleton, who he leeves that ef grceubax is good enough for us honest laborin wen, they are good enough for the aristocrat, who, like the King in the nursery rhyme, sits in his par lor, countin his money. Pendle — "Enuff!" said Rascow, "enuff save that speech. Parson, till we hev our ratifi c&shun. In the meantime, get off and take stub in. So good do 1 feel over the result that I am willing to stand treet for the crowd. Cowe one, come all." These few remarks of Bascoui's wuz hail ed with satisfaction. Kz one man the en tire crowd moved into Ids place, and ez one man they all assuaged their ihurst. Baseow can wove the Corners quicker that) any man in it. Wat a bapj'j' possihen is hisst-u! The next nite it wuz decided to hev a rat ificashn, that the Corners mite contribbit her mite towaid-t swcllin the enthoosiasui on the buzzutu uv which Pendleton wuz to sweep to glory. We met in the open air, in front of Ba.-oow's, and'he iuipa-heut crowd culled on u>e to give an account uv j my stewardship. I opened by statiu that I went to Noo York under pekoolyerly emborrassin eir cumstaoces. The whole money power uv the east wuz arrayed agio us. The aristo cratic Belmont which is the agent of the Rothchiids, the money king of the world, wuz determined to foist onto the Diwocrisy either Chase, the accursed Abolitionist, or Seymour, the inkoolyer pet of Wall street, which street is, I niav sling in here for the benefit uv my hearers, where the money bizniss is mostly done, and w here they sleep on Govemment bonds and spend the heft of their time a clippiu off the cupons. "Wat is cupons?" asked Deeken Po ' gram. I explained to the blessed old saint wat coupons wuz, aud went on. "This Wall street influence wood, my brethren, hev corrupted the Demoerisy. Wall street came into Tammany Hall and wanted to contnd our ackshen. But we wuzn't to be pure hist. The more Wall street offered to euslave the Dimocrmsy, the more yoor representatives, gloriyin in their manhood, spurued their proffered bribes. We went their determined to emancipate , the yeomanry uv the country from the londage of the bloated bondholder —we went there pledged to Pendleton, the young eagle uv the West—pledged to tender the bloated bondholder, if we paid him any* thing, greenbax for his bloated bonds, or nothin. We went ther determined to anni hilate this yeer Seentore and his bloated supporters." "Itah for Pendleton!" sung out the crowd. "Three groans for Seymour, the bloated • bondholders' agent!" Both cheers and groans were given with a will, and I proceeded. "My friends, yoo nevr'll know wat we, the people's defenders, hed to contend with. The bloated bondholders hed money—we hed none. They were determined to fasten the yoke on yoor necks—we were dctcrmin ed to hist it off. They wuz determined to hev Seymour, with all Wall stieet at his hack, fastened on to yoo, to grind yoo into dust, hut feeling that if he shood be nouic nated we cood never support him, we riz in our mite and manfully compelled em to with draw this man and give us the people's choice, George H.

"Before I reed," so' Joscp, who hed glanced at the headings uv the telegraft col lum, 'give three more cheers for Pendleton and greenbax. Hip, hip—" "Rah !" cheered the crowd. "Now three groans, and let them he good ones, for Seymour and his cussid doctrine wieh will grind us into dust under the heels of Belmont, arid aid the furrin capitalists by payiu the bonds in gold !" And they groaned as heartily ez they cheered. "We, ez Dimocratf " continued Josef, "hev sworn by our altars and our fires, nev er to support for offis wuo who wood pay a debt inkurred by a uncon.-titooshnel gov ernment in a unconstitooshnc! war in any thing but the debased currency wieh that unconstitooeuple ought to understand that the Democratic candidate for President is liable ; to l c the victim to hereditary insanity, and ; that his elevation to the highest office in the , (iovcrnmcut may .-pacdily result in devolv ing its j lowers and duties upon Blair, whose | known personal character and revolutionary ! sentiments, viewed in the light of recent ex- ! perience with Vice Presidents succeeding to the Presidency, make the contingency wor- \ thy of serious contemplation. Relative to Seymour's tendency to insani ty, the Cincinnati Commercial makes the j following statement: 'One of his brothers developed similar j tendencies, and was confined in a lunatic asylum, and there died. Mr. Horatio Sey- J uiour himself was troubled, years ago. in a manner si menacing that he spent several i months in seclusion, abstaining from all bus iness, and avoiding care and excitement of j every kind.' The New York Post has an article on the j same subject, from which we extract the subjoined paragraph: "These facts aught not to be concealed; the Democratic masses themselves ought to j know exactly what their ticket means—it ; means Blair as President. No ordinary mo ' five could induce the Evening Post to touch upon the sacred fears and private misfor tunes of a respectable individual, but when the American people arc asked to make that citizen their ruler, his private infirmities be come public dangers, the solemn terrors of his closet become the peril of the nation."— Chicago Republican. FACTS FOR CAMPAIGNERS. The ordinary expenditures of the Govern ment for the pre cut fiscal year are only $102,818,447 in paper, whereas ten years ago, on a gold basis, and before the era of high prices, they were $70,000,000 under the Democratic administration of James Buchanan. Since the war closed, iD a period of about three years, the public debt has been re duced between $200,000,000 and $300,000,- I 000. The Thirty ninth and Fortieth Republi can Congresses have lemoved $191,000,000 of taxes, that but for this action the people would now be called upon to pay. In three years the army has been reduced from 1,005.510 men to about 40,000, and a proposition is now pending for its reduction to 25,000. The years of war cost $3,000,000,000, and the years of peace about $300,1X10,000. | The taxes removed have been all from domestic industry, from cotton, from agri • cultural products, irom miuerals, from pe : troleum, and that the tax upon whisky has i been red nerd 75 percent., and upon tobacco 25 per cent. Of the eleven States which went into re j bellion, eight have been restored to their old relations to the Union under loyal govern ments, and are now represented in Congress. MARTIN F. CONWAY says he is going to take the stump in the present campaign, and declares himself for Grant and ( oltax. He closes his letter as follows: "Me have, had war enough. 1 prefeT peace, and am willing to take it on the basis of existing facts. M'e are lucky enough now (as we were at the end of our great Revolution) to have at the head of the army a man who, though coming out a conqueror troui a great war, sighs for peace; a simple and virtuous citizen, whose ambition is to settle the affairs of his country on a just basis, and then, when Wis term of office is finish ed, to re tin: to private lite. It seems tome that we should be content to rest where we are, without speculating upon tho results of I another war. foGnj, [From the New York Tribune.] "LET US HAVE PLACE!" [f/eu. U* S Omni' Letter of Acceptance.] BY WILLIAM OLA If B BOURSE. "Let u have Peace!" is (he cry of the millions Who fought for the starry-gemmed flag of the free; 'Tis the prayer of the hero, the song of civilians, That rolls from the mountains far down to the sea. The nation that rocked in the tempest and gloom, And drifted in doubt to the wrecked on the shore, The storm has outlived, and the thunders that boom Are voices that prcphesy tempest no more. "Let us have Peace f is the sigh of the lowly, That walk in the vale cypress is seen, Who mourn their departuie with tenderness holy, And kneel where the graves are perennially green; Aud where the "Ur.known," in their silence are sleeping. The feet of the angels are pressing the sod, Aud vespers of harmony round them are keeping, While Martyrs of Freedom have gone to their God. "Let us have Peace! ' the evangel of LABOR, Where toilers imploringly lift up their hands; Go! wipe off the stains from the death-dealing sab re, And build the bright altar of hope for all lands; Lo! radiant from darkness the temple of glory Throws wide to the world the broad aisles of the fame ; And freemen shall toil as they utter the story, And children repeat to the ages again. "Let as "have Peace!" is the chorus ascending From hamlets that lie 'mid the pinc-covered hills, And like a glad anthem in unison blending, Floats on till the plain with its melody thrills; And river- that roll to tho land of the West, j And prairies that wake to the bymn of the free, j W-ith millions of freemen imploring for reft, Swell psalms of rejoicing while bending the knee. "Let us have Peace!" from the war's wild corn mo- ' Lion, Tho trumpet's alarms, and the crash of the field, An i let tho new bli*s, like the billows of ocean, Roll over the land where the hero has kneeled; j The sinokc f the battle has swept from the sky, The thunders hare ceased, and the bugle's wild blast: The chains have been riven ! and loud from on high Ihe reveille calls to the love of the Past! "LET rs HAVE PEACE !" in a holy thanksgiving, The Hero-voice cries, in the name of 'he LORD ! For the sake of the dead! for the sake of the living! Turn spears into pruning-hooks—to plowshares the sword! And out of the darkness shall come forth the beaming Of Glory's bright sun where the foemcn have trod, And Freedom shall teach, with a truth all-re deeming, That PEACE WITH OUR BROTHER IS PEACE WITH oi H GOD! jP&crilanmis. HAVING THINGS TO FIT "Henry," said my unele to me one day, just after the tailor had been measuring me for a new suit, "can you tell mc why the tailor measured you ? Why did he not make your clothes without giving himself -so much trouble?" "Oh, uncle?" said I, "if he had not measured my clothes, he would never made them fit." "Very true," said he "and now I hope you will learn something from the tailor. If he should make your new clothes too large or too small for you, trouble enough will you have with them, but if they should fit you, why then they will add greatly to your com fort. Much of your happiness in the world consists in our having things to fit." Though I understood what uncle meant about mv new suit fittingme, I did not quite catch his meaning as to the othor things. I suppose he saw this, for he went on talk ing thus; "Things must be fitting to give comfort. Ifa poor man, who cannot keep himself, keeps a dog; if a man sets up in business which he does not understand; if one ven tures into deep water who canDOt swim, or bids at an auction for what he cannot pay, these things are not fitting, and cannot an swer." Uncle saw that I was listening, and pro ceeded thus: "If people would consider how they could help each other, they would find themselves better fitted to do so in a hundred instances than they suppose. 'How shall I get my potatoes to market?' said one to his neigh bor, 'for you know I have a horse and no cart.' 'Oh,'replied his neighbor, 'I know one having potatoes to sell, who at this time has a cart and no horse; you are just suited to one another.' The two potatoe sellers gladly agreed to help each other, and being well fitted to do so, all things went off pleas j antly." Uncle kept looking at me to see if i well i understood him. "Sometime ago I heard of a blind man and a cripple who wanted to goto the same place, but could not tell how to get there. As to helping ane another that seemed alto gether out of the question. 'Nothing is easier,' said a bystander, 'for if ydF take matters right, you are just suited for each other's benefit. Let the cripple use his eyes, and the other his legs, and arm and the affair will be settled.' And so it was; they could not have suited one an other better." My uncle's meaning was plan enough | now. "I once was acquainted with a clever tradesman, who knew very well how to keep it. I advised him to take a partner, and recommended to him a plain, honest man, not one of your spendthrifts who run through all they get, but one who was frugal and prudent. The partners did exceedingly well together. The one did the getting, and the other managed the saving; they | were exactly fitted for one another." No one could deny the truth of every word spoken by my uncle, who then said: "All that is done by our Heavenly Father is done suitably. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, harmonize for the good of the earth; the birds is fitted to fly in the eir; the fish to switn in the water; and animals to live on the land. Man is adapted to his situation, and furnished with faculties to enable him to do good and live to the glory of his Almighty Maker. W hat can be bet ter suited to one ignorant ot himselt and • God than a book of wisdom like the Bible? ; With a little reflection. Henry, you will be VOL,. 41: NO. 30 satisfied that as it is in the clothes you wear so it is in all other things, to CDjoy them and to get good from them, they must fit you and be suited to your condition." The more I have thought of the remarks of my uncle the more have I been satisfied . of their wisdon and their truth.— Child's ' Compatnion. A YOUN BIUDE IMMURED IN A LUNATIC ASYLUM. The New York S'ua of Monday says: A singular case canie before Judge Bedle, at the Hanson County Court House, Hudson City, New Jersey, on Saturday, it was an application for a writ o£ habeas wry us to de liver from the custody of the Governors of the Trenton Lunatic Asylum a Mrs. Men-it, now confined in that institution. From the affidavits made by the applicant and others, it would appear that on the 4th of July last Colonel H. D. Merrit, of Hudson City, was married to Mrs. Frances J. Morton, widow of the late William Morton. She continued ! to reside with her husband at her own resi dence, near Mahwav, in the county of Ber gen, until the 9th of July. Early in the morning of that day her brother, Edward Livingston Price, of Newark, a lawyer and member of the last Legislature, went to her house and sent word that he wished to see her down stairs. She went down, leaving her husband in the rooui. Her brother, who had a carriage in readiness, put her in against her consent, and had her taken to the IJer gcu County Poor House, where she was locked up until the 10th. She was then ta ken to Hackensack, before a jury, summon ed by a commission, appointed by the Chan cellor, in pursuance of a petition filed on the loth of July. Without friends, or any on c to appear for her to contradict the state ments as to her insanity, she was found to be insane, and on the morning of the loth of July, was taken by her brother and con fiued in the Lunatic Asylum at Trenton. From the time she was taken from the house until her confinement in the Asylum, her husband was unable to discover her where abouts, and it was only a few days ago be learned from a gentlemen in Jersey City that she had been placed in an asylum. Im mediately on becoming acquainted, with this he applied through his counsel, Senator Win field, for a writ of habeas corpus, which was allowed by his Honor Judge Bedle, returna ble on Saturday, when the matter duly came before the Court. Dr. Buttolph, Superin tendent of the Asylum, made return to the writ that Mrs. Merritt was placed in hi- cus tody by her brother, Mr. Price. Mr. E. L. Price asked for a postponement for four weeks, and asserted that the adjournment would cause no inconvenience. The mem bers of her own family had declared she was insane; a jury so found, and the husband would have been notified had it been known where he then was. The case was adjourned.

Mind your ten poiuts boys; they will prepare you to steji into the vacancies in the front rank. Every man : who is worthy to employ a boy is looking for you, if you have the points. Do not fear that you will be overlooked. A young per ! -on having these qualities will shine as plain ly as a star at night We have named ten points that go toward making tip the char acter of a successful boy, so that they cau be easily remembered. You cau imagine i one on each finger, and so keep them in mind—they will be worth more than dia mond rings, aud you will then never be ashamed to "show your hand." "I WILL!" —We like that strong, robust expresion. No one, having uttered it in sincerity, was ever a mean, crying man. The pigmies of the world did not trouble him. altho' they rose in masses to pull l.jm down. He speaks, and the indomitable prevails. His enemies fall before him. He rides forth a conquerror. Would you be great? Would you be distinguished for your scientific or literary attainments? Look not mournfully at your lot, but with ''l will" breathing from your lips and burstiug from a great heart, you can not but prevail Show us the man that never rose higher than a toadstool, and whoso.influence died with his breth, and we will point you t0 a greping, cringing wretch, who trembles at the approach of a spider, and faints beneath a thunder cloud. Let the fires ot energy play through your veins, and if your thoughts are directed in right channels you will startle the slumbering universe. BKAITT OF OLD PEOPLE.—Men and womeu make their own beauty or their own ugliness. Lord Lytton speaks of a man , "who was uglier than had any business to be," and if he could but read it every human being carried his life in his lace, and is good looking or the reverse, as that lift lit as been good or evil. On our features thi fine chisel of thought and emotion ar eternally at work. Beauty is trot th monopoly of blooming young men and c pink and white maids. There is a slo' growing beauty which only comes to pel fectionin old age. Orace Wongs to n period of life, tad improves the longer i II exists. $ ATE $ OF ADVERTISING.

Both the brute and human world need it for their well being. Dr. Farre, a distinguished physician, says: Although the night equalizes the circulation well, yet it docs not sufficiently restore its balance for the attainment of a long life. Hence one day in seven, by the bounty of Providence, is thrown in as a day of compensation, to perfect by its repose the animal system. You may easily determine this question by trying it on the Leasts of burden. Take that fine animal, the horse, and work him to the full extent of his powers every day but one in seven, and you wili soon perceive by the superior vigor with which he performs his fiinetrons on the other six days that this rest is necessary to his well being. Man. pos sessing a superior nature, is borne along jby the very v'KOV of his miud, so that the | injury of continued diurnal exertion and ex citement in his auicnal system is not so im mediately apparent as it is in the brute; but in the long run it breaks dowff more sud denly; it abridges the length of his life and that vigor of his old age which (as to mere animal power) ought to -be the object of bis > preservation. This is simply as a physician and without reference at all to the theo logical question. TIIE DISCIPLINE OF SOBROW*. —If the block of marble that lies before the sculptor was capable of feeling, how would it deplore and bemoan every stroke of the hammer, chipping ofF piece of substance. It would deem its lot a pitiable one indeed. Yet, that, hammer and chisel are transforming the rough and shapeless stone into a form of life, grace and beauty fit to adorn the palace of a king. So it is with us. Our characters are like unhewn blocks of marble, rude, misshaped, comparatively worthless. And God is sculpturing theut into forms of divine sym metry and beauty, that may forever illus trate to the universe the power of His grace. The heavy block of adversity and the ras ping cares and petty annoyances of our daily life are but different parts ofthesame divine and loving ptocess. And shall we look simply at the hammer and ehi.-e!, and doubt the glorifying work for which God is using theui? Shall we think only of the chips which the bluws of His presence strike from us. and overlook the immortal characters which the Great Sculp tor is seeking thus to perfect for His celes tial temple? DIFFIDENT MEN. —Wheu the world was •younger, diffident people had a much better chance of success in it than they have now. Their modesty found favor with the wise and good, and they were helped along, Pliny the greatest lawyer of his age, recommended quite young in"n of liia own profession to the public, and sometiu.es refused to under take a cause unless some modest junior counsel was associated with him as a pica dor. L>rr. don't do that sort of thing now. It does not answer to implore the " favorable opinion of courts and juries; the advocate who expects to obtain their assent to bis views must demand it. We have popular speakers who simply "make a noise in the world." Their heads are empty but their lungs are stroDg and their tongues glib. An ancient writer on oratory says that a flushed face and an expression dashed with modesty should secure the attention of an audience. Alas! the evidences of diffidence are death to the prospects of a speaker in this age. A man who overcrows his better is pretty sure to take the lead. In law. in business, in politics—and sometimes eveh in church —this rule holds good. A QUESTION OF BOUNDARY. —The boun dary line between Massachusetts and Rhod- Island has not yet been detorreined, and after years of contest the two States seem to be as remote as ever from a settlement. After many commissions and suits, a joint commission was appointed solne years ago, which agreed upon a compromise line from Connecticut to the sea, the Rhode Island commissioners yielding something on the north line, and the Massachusetts commis sioners something on the eastern line. Mas sachusetts, however, refused to ratify any part of the compromise but that which en larged her own territory, and the question was so nearer a settlement than before. Rhode Island has recently had the entire northern line re-surveyed, aud the result, it i, asserted proves beyond a doubt that the line fixed by the ancient colonial charter ex tended north of that to which Rhode 1 -laud now exercises jurisdiction, and would briug into that State the entire villages of Black stone and Waterford, now governed by Mas sachusetts. A renewal of negotiations, with a view to au agreement upon the char ter line, is therefore recommended. ABOUT Sl* months ago, in dead Winter, the Kiowa tribe of Indians, then a hostile band in Texas, made prisoners of a family, of white settlers, consisting of six persons, in Cook county of that State, and carried them into captivity. Before they reached their camping grounds they* killed four of the number —the father, mother, uncle and babe. The other two, who were little girls, aged respectively four and six years, they kept as captives. Several weeks ago Col. Leavenworth, the Govern ment agent . for this tribe of Indians, had occasion to visit their eamping ground, and there found these little children prisoners. He compelled their release, and has brought them to Washington. lie had them at the Capitol on Thursday and says that as they arc in the world alone without a relative, he proposes that Con gress dednet $20,000 froui the annuities of the Kiowas to raise and educate them. The Indian appropriation Ls under consideration in the Senate, and a sufficient sum will uu doubtledy be set aside for 3ueh an ob iect. MEN are as susceptible to flattery as wo men.
