Copy of aLetterfrom the Bev. Cont. Or the,Epleeefutli,lttission to the Tribe of Toultion Sioux Indiana, sittitiberint June AGENCY, DAKOTA TERRITORY, June 2, 18/O.—MI/Dear Friend : The new agent,. Major, Goodhue, has arrived, and. Captain Broatch is about to depart. • The captaia has been extremely kind to me, and I regret ex . the Indians called a Council, having heard that the captain was going away. They sent for him to attend, and the captain, not know ing what theobject of the. Council was, asked me to be present. ' The Council was opened by a speech ,freln their noble old chief, Padans Apapi (Strike the Hee), which, even with' the barbarous rendering „into _English . by the interpretir_, was' eloquent and touching in the extreme. The 04- fain and I were both ovarcome and we could not help shedding tears. Captain Broatch remarked'afterwards that he felt fully repaid, by that day's proceedings, for all that he had done or tried to do for this-poorpeople - since - President Grant had sent" -- thete year since.' - The speech was to the effect that they had heard with sorrow of his intention , to leave them, and the heads of the whole tribe were bowed, down with the calamity ;*that he (P. A.) WWI one of those who had,many years ago, made the treaty with- the - Government, --- and that great and flattering _promiaes had been made.to.the 3Canktons. 'They , were 'have agents "who were good men, true - men, white men,; ,but that from the first men had been sent who came , with, nothing and went away-loaded -with-the 'lndian's goods and money. That instead of,their> being en couraged and helped to become like white men, learn agriculture, reading and. writing, &c., the tendency" had all been,the other way. That now, - at the last, when the Government had really 'sent ,a Man to them who was ac cording' to promise, - who was doing" ' every thing to try . and help them, and encourage them; and help raise them up, he was going away "And now the chief feared, a S lie is very old, that he should die without seeing any thing of the good time coming to his people for which he had so earnestly - longed and hoped. That men with no eyes, 01 course, could not see, but that what this agent - had - done - and ' - was --- doin - g -- "VMS --- apparentl:W: everybody. He .had heard that the agent was about to•leave them to keep a store; that he (the chief) thought that certainly some one else could keep that store as*ell; and it was not every one,-by-any means, who could or would do so much to help a poor -people struggling to become like whites. He then made a piteous appeal bothdo the agent anti myself to write to the President`and strive to have the agent's removal stopped, - • Be was followed by Pte Wakan_lnhjin (Me, ( - Heine Cow) in:a speech very much to' the same effect. This man, by the way, a shrewd, sharp chief, has been setting iris people the: good example, of working in cultivating his Atter the above cotiticil it was said by some of tlos whites _here; It's all very well, but you will see when Capt. Broach goes away the Indians will abuse hint like a pickpocket, as they have done all their previous agents." I could not believe that it would be so. Yesterday a Council was lield for the Cap tain to take leave, and introduce ,the__new. agent. •But far from going back upon what they had said of the Captain, they, again and again reiterated it, and expressed the most unaffected sorrow to, part with him. The Chiefs then made appeals to their people that whether their new agent or those of the fu ture should be good men or bad, they should bend all their energies to improvement and to cultivate the friendship and secure the ap proval of the whites. That at last they had, through other means than the Government, sect •cl m n .4terA and cebnok Tor the_i ns t nic __ tion of their people, and their hopes were is these. Few men will be found to labor as the Cap tain has/for the interests of this people. With the Indians, I cannot but look upon it as a terrible calamity that, he should go away. Stories are being circulated through the pa pers in the States that the Yanktons are in L., agitailun, _and that ue” - edation- hp-41 be-- .epredations nave been committed by them. Especially that the chief, .Maga Ska (White Swan), living oppo site Fort Randall, hob been or' is about to go on the war-path. These reports are made out of whole cloth, and probably for a purpose; This tribe is at profound peace; and I believe it is their sincere desire to remain so, though of course there is a good deal of pressure brought to bear by the tribes beyond to league with them against the whites. The hostile Indians are fed far more , liberally than these, and the former say to them, " W.4y don't you kill a few whites, and then you will get all you want?" And now this tribe has the pros pect of receiving rations only for the present month. If Congress fails to make any appro priation to feed them, what theywill do to keep body and soul together it% hard to see. Should their crops do well they will have enough, probably, for bread but there is no game on the reservation, and• nothing for meat. 1 hope and pray that Congress may take this matter, in hand before it adjourns ; not force these men on the war-path to keep them from starving.' THE LATE IIISILI)1 , KEMPER. _ A Reuince. In the come of a, m l on g rticle on Bishop Kemper, a writer in the American Churchman says: • " Bishop Kemper was not ,a man who courted or cared for publicity. He lived in the eyes of all,z men. Possibly no face and figure were as widely, known in the great Northwest 88 his. But, he was a bishop. That title summed and rounded his idea of his business in this world.' For reputation, — for honor, for inthienee, for wealth, for anything this earth contained, except, as ithelped to fulfil that 'off' ce,tte• cared absolutely nothing. He swerved neither to the right hand nor to the left. He was utterly single-reinded - and single-nurposed. Everywhere and always he was the same—the Bishop. He cared to be nothing else. He cared to be known for noth ing else. Ho walked under the awful burden of that high office' hunibly . and prayerfully, kindly andlovinglir, and cared not - whether he was known or un known'beyond it. "Two years ago we - were in a railroad car riage when the Bishop' came iti A number of gentlemen were conversing, another conver sation-turned-on success in life. Gne'of them (nofa Churchman) known all over the; West as one ef its largest capitaliSta and most suc cessfill business men, remarked, - Gentlemen, there is a'man (pointing to Bishop' Kemper) who is the' most successful man , I :know, as well as the most, devoted to his .business. When I look athim I consider myself an en tire failure. He is the richest man in the North west.' -, 1 • , . "A rather obtuse Persbnage in the,company said : " Why, r did not know the Bishop was • rich. ' Rich,' was the answer ;..I_Whylie_is so. ritYtliftChe - oesniffhlik as much of a million dollars as you Dr,l would of a hundred, and we are not paupers, either. Why; he'd give away' a million on sight and never miss it. What grubbing fellows he must considefsuch as we!: Yes, the Bishop's rich. He's the orily man I could envy. The look on half the faces in this car when he came in is something all the money in the country . couldn't buy - .' .5% Yes, the Bishop was rich; rid' , in love and honor and reverent •observance ,of all ,men,• high and low; rich in a life so•far above the world that the world's wealth - and' glory were nothing to his grand simplibity . and - sing,le heartedness." SATURDAY, JUNE 11,- 1870. Some Deminiscenem of Air. . Domestie Deletions * , Of his private life at home, quiet and Un - eventful as 'it was, there is not much to be told. In town be had apartments in Welling ton street, Strand,-, over the' office rof All the Yearßound, but lived ,chiefly at the Garrick Club. His residence proper was at Gad's Hill, in Kent, on the road to ' CauterbUry, and about an he r's ride ff. I frj_ •II ot _1) railway • • e' aced in Shakespeare aa he scene of ackralstaffs encounter with the men in buckram., Early in life-Just after the publication .of "Pickwick"-Mr. Dickens Married the daughter of Mr. George. Hogartin.the author and pritic. He separated from her in 18561 'and as the event,, called forth a great deal of ill-natured cenireent, the following letter was written'for the purpose of being shown to the public:: • My .Dear,—: • Sirs. Dickens and , have lived, ,unhappily together, for, many ,years. Hardly any one who hag known Mantintately eau fail to have knoWn that We ere, in all re spects, of• character and ternperatnent,. won derfully-unsuited to - each othei7 -- I - Elppo96 - tbat no. two people, not, vicious. in themselves, ever were.joined- together, who had greater difficulty in understanding one another, or who had less in common. An attached wo man servant (inorefriend to both of us than a servant). who" lived with us -16 years, and is nowmarried, and-who ; was, and still is, in Mrs. Dickens's e.onfidenda and mine, Who had' the closest familiar experience' of this nithap- - piness in London, in the ConntrY, in France, in Italy,, wherever we have been, year after year, month after month, week after week, 4:4 5 after day, will , bear testimony to this. Nothing has, on many occasions, stood be tween us and a tieparation but Mrs . Dickens's..' sister; Georgine -Hogarth! Front' the age of 15sbe has devoted herself - to our house and children. She has been their Playmate, nurse, instructress, friend, protectress, adviser and etenplinion. In the manly consideration to ward Mrs. Dickens which I owe my wife, I will merely remark of her that the peculiarity of her character has thrown all the care - of the• children on some one else. I do not know- I cannot by any stretch of fancy imagine what wiiuld have beeome of them but for this aunt who has grown up with them, to whom ' they are devoted, and who has sacrificed the best-part-of-her-youthandLlife-to-them. - She has remoustaated, reasoned, sufiered - ; - and toiled, and come - again to - prevent - a sepa- - ration between Mrs. Dickens and me. Mrs. Dickens has often expressed to her her sense of her _affectionate _care and-devution in the heuse-never more strongly than in the last twelve months. , For some years past Mrs. Dickens has been in the habit of representing to me that it would be better for her to go away. and live apart ; that her always-increasing estrangement made a mental disorder tinder which-she sometimes. labors; more, that she felt herself unfit for the life she had to leatias my wife, and - that !she . 'would be far better away. I have uniformly, replied that she remit bear our misforttines and light the fight etit"ttithe end; that the children were the first_censideration, and that I feared _ they must bindue together ";in appearafice.? ; lit length, within these three weeke, it wag . • suggested to me by Forster that even for their sakes, it would surely be better to recon struct and rearrange- the- unhamiy home. -I empowered him to treat with Mrs. Dickens as the friend cat both of us for one and twenty years- Mrs, Dickens-. wished-_ , to-add,-on-her- part, Mark Lemon, and did so. On Saturday last Lemon wrote to Forster that Mrs. Dickens gratefully and thankfully accepted " the terms I .proposed to her. Of the pecuniary part of them, I will only .say that I believe they are as generous as if Mrs. Dickens were a lady of distinction and I a man of fortune The remaining parts of them are easily de scribed-my eldest boy to live with Mrs. Dickens, and to take care of her ; my eldest_ girl to keep my house ; both my girls and all my children but my eldest son to live with me in continued companionship of their Aunt Georgina for whom they have all the ten derest affections that I have ever seen among young people, and who has a higher claim (as I have often declared for many years) upon my affection, resp ect and gratitude than any , I hope, that no one who may become ao quainted with what I write here can possibly be so cruel and unjust as to put any miscon struction on our separation so far. My elder children all understand it perfectly, and all accept it as inevitable. There is not a shadow of doubt or conceal ment among us. My eldest son and I are one as to it all. Two wicked persons, who should have spoken very ditihrently of me, in considera tion of earned respect and gratitude, have (as lam told, and indeed, to my personal know ledge) coupled - with this separation the name ors, young lady for whom I have a great attachment and regard. I will not repeat the name—l honor it too much. Upon my soul and honor, there is not on this earth a more virtuous and spotless creature than that young lady. I know her to be innocent and pure, and as good as my own daughters. urther, I am quite sure that Mrs. Dickens, having received this assurance from me, must now believe it, in the respect I know her to have for me, and in the perfect confidence I know her, in her better moments, to repose in my truthfulness. On this bead, again, there is not a shadow of doubt or concealment between my children and me. All is open and• plain among us, as though we were brothers and sisters. They are perfectly certain that I would not de ceive them, arid the confidence among us is without a fear. --A daughter of the noveliSt married Charles Alston Collins, brother of Wilkie Collins. A son, Charles Dickens, Jr., has written a little for the magazines. Another son we believe is in the army. That Mr. Dickens's domestic tastes were very strong, notwithstanding the misfortune of his married life, there is abun dant proof. Hawthorne, in his English diary, has a passage apropos of this : " Mr. -- mentioned how he preferred home enjoyments to all others, and did not willingly go much into society. Mrs. too, the other day. told us of his taking on himself all possible trouble as regards his domestic affairs.' " He was a man of practical charity,'! says one who knew laim well both here and abroad, "and gave largo sums judiciously every. year. Indeed he would get up in the night and go ten miles to aid any one who was siiffering. The prevailing idea, that he was accustomed, to a very generous diet, which has. mainly , arisen from the'jovial tone of his writings, is incorrect, for he was very careful in such mat tem!' Last night was the weekly prayer-meeting of Plymouth Chinoh. There was a large at tendance. - Mrs. StoWe was among the audi tors. Mr. Beecher invited anyone to speak or ask any question. A member, alluded to the death of Mr. Dickens the news of which had . just been received. Mr. Beecher took occa sion-to-make-some-remarks ()wattle- life- and. character of 'Mr. 'Dickens. "The death of Charles Dickens has 'been referred to, and I suppose will produce more nearly the feeling of, personal loss, than that, of any one that . has died since Walter Scott. He is a 'household man. Was a man . of the most genial sympathies, the most humane feelings, of al most any man that is a writer in our day. He took hold of what may, bp called .the great middle class of feelings in the human mind. Whether he was personally and experimen tallfa Cbristitinman Giod knows,' &ult.

All his writings brace np manhood lb truth, and honor, andpurity and virtue: 'Throughout they. are, noble. There may bo exaggeratiens ili caricature,but the generic in fluence of 'his writing is to make manhood purer and Otter, and to make the intercourse of men with • their ' fellow men more genial and more- human ; to make the household purer and . Brier and sweeter. There can be no question that this is the general tendency of his writings. I do`not believe that there is' to be a line fotind which either by design or in fact will produce licentiousness or laxiky.. There,Can he no_question , that he has been a _beitefacter_tcchis race,"-although he in the highest sphere' in' the ,spiritual-elethent. And when the ameli orations in the procedure of , society are traced back to their sources, it will be found that God raised him up, and eamloyed him in no mean degree toproduee reformation and elevation in the middle elements of 'human': welfare. We cannot but be grateful for the fact that,he was raised up in a lower sphere to do a great tleal of needy work. He did .it well, and has'passed off the stage. ie,has, gone at the full of life. One moment in the mil enjoyment of, his faculties, the i next mo ment gone. -- Years mast have let down the_ tone of his mind and his work. laehas died at the right time for himself and-for the world. Mr. Beeoher said he didn't believe in 'the petition of the Episcopal prayer-book, "De liver us from sudden death.' He still clung to that heresy% He should never pray that God would deliver him from sudden death. He did not want to be like. an old harness tied up with tow-string, and always breaking, and always up for repairs, and always good for nothing. He died at the_ right time. For one, he thanked God for thelife and Wink of Charles Dickens, although he did not regard him asaf the bi hestEixt it is notne •an ould work at the _highest_in_ order to be reckoned among the noblest. and best -of men. An appropriate and 'impressive hymn was then sung, and the congregation dis missed. • Ul5 Special-Mission. The 14. Y.

So in the faith that literature was not for the rich alone, and the_ noblest work was the work done for the poor, lie heat him Sell - bravely to his splendid task. Whether battling with the weapons of his wit for the release of poor prisoners or poor schoolboys, or humanity for almshouse pau pers, or relief for befogged and plundered a cl e i t e u ni, a e nd eo a ur p t ublie ridden to death by aris tocratic office-holders; or founding a great liberal, newspaper in the interest of popular ' government and free education ; or refusing with dignity an invitation to attend as an where he - •lu - conk not tmFre ceived as a private man, Charles Dickens, without a suspicion of demagoguism ; without the atfeetap tion of condescending, without uttering one insincere or fl attering word, made himself as truly the poet and prophet of the people in prose as Burns was their chosen singer in verse. It is for this reason that wherever the ng is • anguage, is spoken Charles Dickens was cherished asia friend. It is for this rea son that his death awakens to-day such uni versal sorrow, and that his name will be held in sincerely affeCtionate remembrance to the latest generations. A DAMP TIME. Trouble with a Circus. A rather damp entertainment was that given lately at Kansas City, Mo. A local paper de scri bes it : " The square was thronged with people from the adjoining country, who were in town to see Robinson's Circus. The rain suddenly be gan to pour down in torrents. Down went the gaily-painted signs of reptiles and wonder ful no-armed and no-legged men; down came the rain in a flood ; down came the huge circus tent, and down poured the floods of water. The crowd inside the circus remained in the shower-bath until the ropes were loosened and the canvas began to sink to the centre of the ring. At this sight they took a panic, and out they rushed pell-mell into the flooded square. The horses wore hur ried out of the circus, and a general stampede made'for shelter. The water by this time was nearly knee-deep on the street. The corner of Fifth and Main was waist deep, having the appearance of a lake. .The basement under Lokeridge Hall was soon flooded with water, chains, tables and beer kegs floating on a level with the counter-top. The rain ceased about as suddenly as it began, and now the crowd made a rush back to the circus. All were admitted, pay or no pay, checks or no checks. The ring was ankle-deep in water, and the crowd were as wet as water could make them. In about twenty minutes the band struck up,and there were attempts made to renew, the performance, but under very dis advantageous circumstances." THE COURTS. QUARTER SESSIONS—Judge Allison.—Ha- Leas corpw cases were heard in the old `ir House. In one John Radan and Mary Tully, or Radan, the former charged with bigamy and the latter with adultery, asked to be dis charged. It appeared that in June, 1869, Mr. Racism was residing in New York, and while there his wife obtained a divorce from him, the decree prohibiting the husband from again marrying. ,Re came to Philadelphia, and in October,, 1869; married Miss Tully. The ques tion before the enu4 was as to the effect of the New York decree in this State. The case was field under advisement. QUARTEIt SESSIONS-Judge Ludlow.--Jmn - es Welsh .was charged with committing an ,ag gravated assault and battery.upon a lady. He followed a lady, in Fairmount Park and made the assault.

HANCOCK'S RECEPTION Br THE INDIANS. , Another Delegation of Chiefs to lristf.' Washington. [From the Sioux CitrJoirrnal,.Titne 3..1 • • The young Indians are all leaving Grand , River Agency for the interior to engage in their Summer hunts. The temporary Indian Agent at the Cheyenne Agency, we are - told' by the mate of the Far West, was attacked by ; Indians on Friday last. They beat him wititt the butt ends of their guns, bruising him, con, biderably about the head and shoulders. We are further infornie.d by the' mate of the 'Far ' West that the Indians along the river gave Gen. Hancock a very cool and formal reoep tion during his late visit to their country.;, They say that be promised them last Spring that he would send no more, troops among them, which promise, they claim; he Willfully disregarded. In consequence of this the In dians have dubbed him, " The heap-lying white man." We have the following interesting news from the up-river country, from CaptainFenn Hawley, of the steamer Miner : A delegation of prominent Brule Sioux Chiefs are soon,to start on a visit to ,WaShing.. ton, by the way of Sioux City, to have a "big talk" witlitbe President. They hope to agree ou some specifications for peace. Promi ' neitiunong them are Red Leaf, Bull Eagle Littlfi Swan and Crow Feather. The last named is the head chief of the Sansarcs, and the chierwho carries what is called the God Almighty pipe of the Sioux Indians. The pipe is over one hundred years old, .and' has never been undressed since its adoption as u : sacred object. Upon the arrival of the Miner , at Randall, a number of Indian arrows *pie found driven through an inch board' at the rear of the boat. The supposition is, that thilv were shot at Gen.
