Abercrombie's command was within ft hundred miles of tho Minnesota when he mado his appearance among them, which, it may bo well imagined, had a wonderful effeot, and the only thing that brought them to speedy terms. Every thing is now perfectly quiet. The different bands have sent out under tho Chief, Little Crow, a large party iu pursuit of In-ka-puh-du-ti and his accom plices in the Spirit Lako affair, and seem disposed to do anything that is required of them. I must relate a littlo anecdote of Lieut. Spencer, of Major batten’s company, whioh I think deserves to lie more generally known. During the grentestoxoltoinont, when the Indian was being dolivorod up by some of the well-disposed chiefs, and was carried oft by his frionds, Lieut. Bpenoor wasjplnood in command of a small party, with instructions to proceed to the Siwiton’s camp and recover the prlaonor. liming advanced within n short rango of the camp, tho Indians formed in front of it and levelled their pieoes at him, where upon his interpreter becanio alarmed and fled, call ing to tho Lieutouantto do so too, or they would all bo killed. Nothing daunted, howevor, ho re called tho fugitive, told him if ho was afraid, to take his, the Lieutenant’s revolvor, (the only fire arms about him,) threw the breast of his coot opon, and deliberately advanced with his men to their camp, and, after seating himself very composedly among them, told the chiefs he wanted the prisoner, wbereupou they pledged themselves to deliver him •up the next morning, and assigning os a reason for not doing it then, the great oxcitoment which pre vailed throughout the campjf. The different bands having dispersed, Col. Abercrombie withdrew the troops from the agencies ordered the company of tho Tenfc Infantry and Major BhermMi'ft battery to Leavenworth, and Major Patten's company to Fort Snolling, leaving three at this post, and telegraph ed the Adjutant-General no additional troops were noeded; but before it could have rcaohed the head quarters of the army, General Scott had ordered four companies of artillery to report to Col. Aber crombie ; two are now at Fort Snelling. Since writing the above, Little Crow ba3 come in, and informs us that ho surprised a party of In ka-pah-du-ti’s band, killed four,wounded some and captured two, besides a number of horses, Ac., and a few household tilings, such as cups, kettles, and the like, supposed to have been taken after the massacre at Spirit Lake. Col. Thomas arrived here a few days since on a tour of inspection, and left yesterday or the day before for tho Lake. THE PULPJT. [Heported for The Press.] OUR SAILORS. The church of tho Rev. Mr. Chambers, Broad street, was crowded on Sunday, 23d inst., it having been published that he would address the Christian public on the subject of the injustice, extortion, and neglect to which the poor sailors are subjected from those persons who seek aftor them as soon as they land on our shores. Mr. Chambers stated that, after conversation with a number of men in authority, and other jMsrsons, and a close inquiry nnd examination in regard to this most important and valuable portion of ourfollow-oitizens, the sea faring men of ouroity, he had come to the conclusion that tho majority of tho Christians of Philadelphia were entirely ignorant of the great evils to which our mariners wore constantly subjoeted from the haunts of intomperauce and vice into which they were frequently taken as soon as thoy arrived. The speaker stated that within the last few months ho had ascertained so many facts in relation to this subject, that be felt the deepest conviction of its importance to the community in whieh we dwell, in a moral, roligious, and commercial as pect. Ho had selected his text from the Io7th Psalm, v. 22, Ac.- — t And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanks giving, and declare his works with rejoicing. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do .business in great waters; These are tho works of the Lord, and bis won ders in the deep. For he . comuiandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. Theymountupto the heavens, they go down again to the depths; their soul is melted because ot trouble. He maketh the storm a calm so that the waves thereof are still. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his good ness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men. The passages of Scripture selected are so beauti ful and expressive that they must be apparent to all present The Importance of the sailor to the commercial, agricultural, aud meohanloal world is not properly appreciated by the community. Wo are indebted to his labors for the productions which minister to our happiness, comfort, and sup port, from the North and the South, and from the East and the West. What would tho great me tropolis of our country /be without the efforts of the mariner 7 Look at the great dangers he en counters from tho winds and the waves, in bring ing to us the blessings we enjoy. Look at wh&t he suffers from exposure to the most unwholesome climates. Look at the privation he is subjected to from separation from his family, his friends, and his country! The storm overtakes tho ship, and the sailor is about in every danger on the deck and aloft in every peril; he is constantly subjected to all its moat fearful ravages and fury in all the terrors of the night. The waves of the ocean roll over him iu all thoir majosty. They mount up to Heaven; thoy descend again into the depths of the ocean; and you behold the majesty of God, the Creator. The masts of the ship are broken by the storm, and the sails are stripped in piooes; the deck is swept by the surge, and the scone iB deplorable in the extreme. The ship becomes unmanageable; there is a valuable cargo on board—and tho mis sionary is there ! The poor sailor in tho midst of tho storm goes to his prayers! Tho sea is roll ing—the ship is pitching—the ship is in danger; God sees the danger; God calms the sea; God lulls tho winds. The prayers of .wives, mothers, and children are heard. The storm oeases, and the ship arrives at her desired haven. We feel it impossible In this brief sketch to de *, scribe the eloquence of the speaker. ’ The shipping mention to of our country hire for some time past boon ongogetl in a noble effort to benefit tho condition of seamen, and to enable thorn to esoapo from the grasp of their persecutors, This effort has been to do away with the custom of paying advance wages. The tendency of this benevolent project would be to prevent tho sea man’s advance wages from being taken from them by those who ship them. Thoy nro frequently stripped by some of these persons of all they pos sess, and takon to vessels in a dtate of intoxication. There is a olas3 of men who induce men and boys to desert from Government vessels, where they have shipped; they koop them secreted for a month at a time, »nd thou induco them to ship to another vessel, and they are sont down the river privately. The moment a vessel enters the river, some of these men go out in boats to see the seamen, and induce them to accompany them to their houses. The conduct of many of these boarding-houso keepers, and the artifices and oppressions they re sort to to obtain tho money of the poor sailors, is highly reprehensible. How few of our ohuroh members have any knowledge of these evils that surround so large a number of our oitizens! They have no conception of the extent of them. These persons havo uo regard for them orals of the sailor; they never rest till tho last dollar is token from him. We thank God that our merchants are dis posed to do something to aid the poor mariner, who has nobody to look after him but the oppressor. But let us hopo he will be taken care of, that there will be Christian men and women who will endeavor to convert our sailors to Christianity. The sailors should be missionaries—they have many oppor tunities of doing good wherever they go. Let ua, then, hope they may become sober, moral, an"d re ligious men There has been for some years past a Seaman’s Home in the southern part of the city, in Front near Lombard street. Seamen are boarded and lodged at this establishment. No spirituous or in toxicating liquors are used in the house, which is under the care of some benevolent persons. There should be several other houses established in vari ous parts of the city, and our ohuiches should have vigilanco committees appointed to visit every vessel as soon &s she arrives. There 19 &3 much need of this being done ns there is of haring emi grant aid societies, all of which would do good, and provent imposition being practised on strangers. The Rev. Mr. Ramsey, of this oity, once a mis sionnry in the East Indies, in spooking of his feelings, when in a foreign land, on the approach of an American ship, and the expectation of see ing American seamen, remarked that it was often a Foureeof dread and anxiety from the intempe rate habita of many of the sailors Let Christians, then, look after our seamen, and bring the influ ence of the Bible to boar on his condition. Let woetingg be held for their benefit; let them be visited and encouraged to attend places of worship. Do not leave the poor sailors to themselves, as has been done for bo long a period, or they will be ruined and lost forever in places of dissipa tion. I entreat you, Christians, to look at this sub ject. Bring the noble heart of the sailor to letleot on his condition, and bis duties heie and hereafter. Is there a sailor here 7 let me say to him, come and consecrate your heart to God. Beloved hearers, wo aro not properly aroused to tho importance of our duties as won and womon living in a Christian land. Save us, 0 God ! from the corrupting influence of bad men. Forgive us, 0 Lord! if .we have said aught against any of our fellow-citizen i that is inconsistent with our duty in endeavoring to rescue so many of our fallen men from perdition. And lot us hereafter live as we have never lived before, to the glory and honor of God. The rapidity of the delivery of Mr Chambers renders it impossible to give but a very imperfect sketch of his sermon on this occasion, which occu pied about one hour, nudwaslistoned to with groat attention. Some years ago wo had an Eastburn, a Ralston, and a Douglass m this city, who were nlwaj’s doing good among seamen, both temporarily tindspuitu ally, but they havo long gone to their icit in another and a better world. Latest from the Plains. Tho correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, writing from Independence, underd&te of the 21st, records the arrival of the Santa Fe mails, from which he gleans tho following Information: “ Indian depredations are still the order of the day. Colonel Bonueville’B command have had enough to do recently, and their snocess has beon vory unoxpeoted. Colonel Miles and Captain Ewell attacked the Coyatora Indians, and killed forty-one, and took forty-five prisoners. The corn fields of the Indiana were destroyed, and twenty fivo horses captured; In addition, a Mexican cap tive was Seven of the troops were wounded, as also Lieutenants Steen and Davis. This much for the Gila expedition. If all the others were as skilfully managed, we should hear less of the troubles attendant upon these visits of the Indians to the several neighborhoods and un protected towns. “Greater moil facilities for the Interior of the Territory are asked for, and should undoubtedly be granted to them. “ The mining fever is still as high as ever, and as soon as both the companies are enabled to use the machinery they are now erecting, you may ex pect to year of results that will itartfo those of us resident in the States." TWO CENTS. Money Stolen from the MaiU~»ecl*lon of the m *. ... AUorn *r General. [From the ttaxhingtoa Union,] in«lition d ti 5 1 h« e , ,lecU - i 0" of the A «omey General in relation to the licrmiMion granted hr finny..«» to the Postmaster General to take intopoSon of his department any money robbed ImleS from the mail, and pay it to the rightful owner whenever satisfactory proof thereof Shalt be mlde Attorney Gekebal’j? Office, Aug. 20,1857 ‘ iw?r B a h T C k°?v gre 4 B P aa * cd l, 1857, (9 U.,8. Laws, 148.) the Postmaster General way take into possession of bis department any money robbed or stolen from the mail, and pay it to the rightful owner whenever satisfactory proof thereof sh&U be made. * 1 The mail between Mobile and Montgomery, Ala bama, and its contents, were stolen on the 21st of May, 1850. In that mail was one letter from St John, Powers, & Co., containing $1,119, and another from an agent ot the Bank of Montgomery, con taining $8,913. These aie alleged, without con tradiction,”to have been the only large money let ters in that mail. There were several others con taining inconsiderable sums. Some timo after the theft, suspicion fell upon Welcome Lovelace, a stage-driverion the route, who was arrested, tried, and conviote’d. At the time of the arrest there were found upon his person, and at different places of concealment pointed out by him, divers packages °‘notes, amounting in all to $4,694. u ®, cond itlou in life of the accused party was smjh that he himself could not be the owner of a sum so large. He accounted for his possession of ii™ 7 tounil il Ob tlie road. A por tion of it ($425) was absolutely identified by the y? r ®i"? a - wllo 'jod mailed it in the smalier letters already mentioned. St John end the Bank of Montgomery were unable to prove the numbers, the dates or any private or peculiar marks of their notes, but they did show that the notes produced by the prisoner corresponded with theirs in their general description, in their size, and the bank. From whioh they were issued. The deputy marshal, who took this money from the prisoner, has $4,269 of it vet in his hands and refuses to lot St. John or the Bank ot Montgomery have it, because, as he alteges, they do not show that it is the identical money lost by them. They invoke the exercise of your authority under the act of Congress to make him disgorge it. You can do what they ask if they are the rightful owners of the money, and if it was stolen out of the man. The evidence that this is the money of the claimants, and was stolen out of the mail, though it bo indirect and presumptive, is so irresistible by the number, nature and strength of the ciroum stances, that no human mind can be perverse enough to doubt it. stole the contents of a certain mail In which these claimants had about $5,000 is a settled fact—settled by his conviction of the crime, and by evidence aliunde, which shows the conviction to have been just. That all the other money in the mail besides that of the claimant’s did not amount to much beyond $5OO. seems to be conceded, and it is probable, withoutany concession about it, slnoe nobody else has set up a claim. You have it ascertained, then, that a theft was commit ted, and that the property stolon was $5,000 be longing to three claimants, and $5OO belonging to various other persons. Now, what do you expect to find when the thief is arrested ? Not the whole of the money, for he had time to dispose of a part. The amount taken from him corresponds with the amount lost, bating what he would probably part with or put ont of niaown reach in the interval. Add to this the fact that before his crime be was poor enough to pawn his watch, and who will deny that the money found upon him was the money he had stolon. But this is not all. Some of the notes are proved to be the samo by particular marks, and ail theothernotescorrespoad with the stolen money in their general description From the theft alone thero is an evident presumption that the thief had the greater portion of the stolen money in his pos session, or at least knew where it was. The very officer who now detains it acted on that presump tion when he compelled him to give it up. But when you combine this with the still greater pro bability arising out of the fact that & sum of mo ney was found on him which does not differ in any respect, so far as it is recollected, from that of the claimants, you have a case which admits of no an swer. He himself made no attempt to answer it, except by saying that he had found the notes ou the road. I do not say this could not be true. Tho thing is possible. but who would believe it ou the mere word of a detected thief? In short, if this be not the money of the claimants stolen out of the mail by Lovelaco on the 2lst May, 1856, there is an end to all reasoning upon oiroumstan tial evidence. There is notone chance in & million that you will do wrong in acting upon that belief. You have a right to this money as the legally appointed trustee of the true owners The deputy marshal holds it either without any pretence of right, or el9e he keeps it for the use of the felon who is convicted of stealing it. Your claim is very meritorious, and his Is very maoh the reverse. I am, very respectfully, yours, 4c., J. S Black. lion. A. V. Bbowh, Postmaster General.
