A Wurrs Stern iao= Vmobru.—We received a visit yesterday from an interesting little girl, —who, less than a month tura, was a slave be longing to Judge Neal, of Alexandria, Va. Oar readers will remember that we lately published a letter, addressed to Hon. Charles Sumner to some friends in Boston, accompanying a daguer reotype which that gentleman-had forwarded to his friends in that city, and witch he described as the portrait of a real ..Ids, lilsy,"—a young female slave, so white as to defy the acutest judge to detect in her features, complexion, hair, or general appearance, the slightest trace of negro blood. It was this child that visited our office, accompanied by Mr. Charles H. Brainard, in whose care the was placed by Hr. Sumner, for transmission to Boston. Her history_is briefly as follows: Her name is Mary Mildred Botta, her father 'escaped from the estate of Judge Neal, Alexandria, six years ago, and took refuge In Boston. Two years since he perhhased his freedom 1 . 9;4600, hia wife and three children -bondage.

She was .one of the fairest and most indisputable white children that we have ever seen.—N. P. Fax ax Lenractrons.—There are rumors of quite an excitement at Indianapolis. It will be remembered the Old Liners in the Legislature refuted to go Into an election for Attorney Gen eral, State Agent, and other State officers. This they did because they knew their candidates would not be elected in joint session, and if no alsertimi was guide, they npposed the Governor would appoint their candidates, who would thus get the offices, though a majoritu of the Legis lature were opposed to them. They succeeded in preventing an election, and after the adjourn ment of the Legislature the Governor appointed the candidates of the Old Linen, and their plan seemed about to succeed. But it seems the Con stitution requires the oath of office to be admin istered by the Secretary of State, and he, not being an Old Liner, refused to administer it, and there is no way to compel him. So matters stand at present, and there is quite an gait.- mutt there slant the =attn.—am Oa:.

Mr. Littlejohn Ina nominated as the Whig candidate for Mayor of Oswego; the Know Nothings had nominated Colver,the officious per son who had printed a letter rebuking Mr. Lit tlejohn for voting for Senator Seward; and the Democrats had named Mr. Holley. In order to make assurance doubly sure, the Windooe with drew their candidate, fused with the Democracy, the rtuasellers, and foreigners of pro-Slavery faith, raking together everything that could be made to swear in a vote. Seething this motley EMS into a single force, they marched to the polls, voted, labored, spent money like water, 'and succeeded is &dap Speaker Littlejohn by Pin Hundred Majority! Overwhelmed with disgrace and mortification, they spent the even ing in quarrelling, fighting, and all manner of noise and confusion.
