The Price of a Wife.
• The following account of the Indian wo
men, and of an Indian Dandy, we copy
from the correapondent of the Tribune,
‘vho is with . Tfie•Comraission in the North
West Territory . .
“Fittpav JULY IS, 1851.—Scattered, ev.
bryiliherearriong th&northwest Indians are
the'half-breeds, being children of French,
English, Scotch and American males by
: squaws; for in this mixture, it will always
be observed, that the white race is gen
erally -the most aggressive and uppermost.
In this present and benevolent attempt to
absorb the Red race, the French have.al-
Ways been foremost. The Frenchman is
your true cosmopolite. Whatever he finds,
(as a lisping friend of ours utters it) 'thoft
womanth eyths,' he is there. Traders and
white men, who have lived with the Indi
ans, have almost all taken or bou ht Indian
wives. e price o a squaw varies from
a blanket and a piece of calico, to a gun and
a horse ; the price being paid to the father
br next relative of the bride. If an Indian
wishes to show an act of high generosity to
a White man, he trots out and presents to
him, a wild young squaw ; and although the
izquaws do all the labor—carrying all the
tvood and water, building fires, packing
and putting up tepees, raising corn, and in
tact, doing everything but the smoking and
Aootin g . • * • * * • • They
have more energy more sense, and more
-- etrength than the males. It is observable
that spuaws who are here belonging to the
remote -bands have children with hair and
eyes almost invariably black ; which is by
no means true of squaws living near the
Mississippi river. Various theories may be
offered to explain this fact upon physiologi
cal principles, the least plausible of which
is, that it is owing to the diffie - ent covering
of the head. His Majesty, Limping Devil
head-chief of the Sissetims of die TWo-wOods
band, has- arrived. The first thing he did
after asking for beef, was to inquire for Sec
retary Smith. With him came nn Indian
about fifty years old. dressed in the most ex
travagant style of Indian fashion, who is
known ns the "handsome man." He says
he has had twenty-seven wives—kept try
ing, but found no one that was quite the
thing in every respect, although one of his
wives who died, was pretty near the right
thing. He says that a woman is like a
horse, very'hard to find faultless ; that when
a woman did not suit him,-he-turned-her-off
well-dressed and mounted upon a good horse
-and tried another; that the women where run
ning after him, and he never saw a girl
that did not want him. Says he, 'I am not
a handsome man, but there is something
about me, I don't' know what, that makes
the girls all like tne.' The Indians stand- 1
itig about and listening to this conceited
old dandy, said they felt ashamed to hear
him talking so like a fool. Tuunsrmv, June
17.--Last evening.after the close of my let
ter of that date, there was another grand ex
hibition of Sioux chivalry on horseback, who
made a sham descent upon the various en
•campments of separate band's. These Da
'cote dragoons, who are terrible, at least in
:appearance, came sweeping down over the
ridge, with a noise like a mob of whirlwinds,
their horses cantering about as fast as a flock
of sheep, same of their horses being in fact
smaller than their riders, and every rider
drumming the sides of his horse with- his
heels, every jump, as if he were working
a velocipede. The Indians that are here - ,
generally ride as badly as they swim ; and
they swim exactly like dogs. If there is
any poetry in their motion on horseback or
in water, we fail to see it. They also had
a representation of a buffalo hunt, having
some of their number dressed so as to look
like buffaloes; and really, to do them just
tice, they enact.the character of beast well."
The Queen and the Yankees.
Col. Sherburne writing on the 18th of
Juno from London to the New York Sun
Eays:
Unite a rich scene took place last week at
the Fair. The Queen gave out on Friday,
that she would visit the Fair the next morn
ing at nine o'clock, attended by her ladiei
.and gentlement in waiting, to inspect each
department personally. and to receive infor
mation from those severally in charge : con
sequently there was quite a gftthering of no
bles and citizens from the %Vest End. Af
ter a lime the Queen arrived at the beauti
ful fancy soap stand from Philadelphia, at
each great corner of which stand, in bold re
lief, the'busts Washington and Taylor, with
an inscription on the head of each, viz :"
This is is all solid soap."
The Qeen seemed to doubt the fact and
suddenly taking a gold pin from head dress,
. was about the testing the truth out of it, by
running the pin into the head of Washing
ton, when the Philadelphian, seeing the ob
jects, placed his • hand between the
pin and bust, and with gravity and polite
ness of his body, observed—"lt is the bust
of Gen. Washington, your Majesty."---
Quick as thought, Prince Albert said, with
a smile to the interested Queen, ' , lt is
royalty pickingat liberty." The next morn
ing an, order came from Buckingham ,Palace
for a box of the Philadelphia soap.
Another scene equally as rich happened.
•After the Queen and Court had examicd
'the great variety of American grain; and
'expressed her surpise at the, corn hanging
ih'clusiters from the stalks, the Prince re
marked, 'America is indeed a second Egypt
the land of promise, the world With bread.'
Near the stalk of grain, .a Yankee from
Conheeticut had pitched his hand, exhibi
ting baskets and boxes of patent boot end
shoe-pegs,-appearing - at - a - M t le distance
eery, much like grain. On passing, the
lueen.inquired what kimf of seed it was.
{TheAfigmn, by the way, is short sighted. 3
"Sced,,marna !" replied the Connecticut
leatt,!'t'vliy they. are sole binders," at the
Same time lifting hiifoof to s'll'Ow their use.
The Queen kept her gravity as dell as she
Fould, but the Prince turned toitiVb-vent to
Smile, while the Duchess of S., vVith the
ot ::q ladies in Waiting draped their veils
and pSeed their bankerchidfa over their
-faces. The Prince: asked

made. "Why, sir, answered Jonathan,
"we just throw junks of wood in at one end,
and the pegs come out at the other so fast
as to keep the
,woinen folks busy enough.--
Conne.ctiaut is:smart place for such
notions."
The Queen and Court also visited "The
New York Sun ;" Thu Sun and Tribune
are neatly encased in glass, standing on a
pedestal. Under the "Sun is printed in
broad characters—'Drily ""one half penny foi.
this paper-20,000 struck off in an hour,"
The Queen remarked : 'Cheap reading in
the United States." The Prince replied :
"They have no stamp act." The party al
so inspected the specimens of bookbinding
and other American contributions, express
ing themselves highly gratified with them all.
The News of Two Weeks.
We take the followinti s 'no )sis of events
,rom The./.llla California of yl5 :
Since the departure of the mail steamer
on the Ist of the present month, the only
event of moment . which has transpired in
our city has been the trial, conviction and
execution of a felon known as Jim Stuart, by
the Vigilance Committee, a body of citizens
of the' highest respectability and standing in
society. He was hung for .a .nultitude of
offences, and, by his own confession, volun
tarily made, was a villain of the most des
perate character. • He was hung about 2
o'clock on Friday, the llth. inst., at the end
of Market Wharf in the presence of several
thousand citizens.
A Spanish woman was hung at Downie
ville, in the Sacramento Valley, for murder
ing a man named Cannon, on the 7th inst.
In Sacramento; Marysville, Stockton and
elsewhere, the citizens have felt themselves
compelled to act in their own behalf, the
laws having proved so utterly inadequate in
themselves, and their administratimi by the
properly constituted authorities so lax.
Men have been executed for offences of a
criminal nature in this city and in Stockton.
The recent execution of Steward in this city
produced a temporary excitement among
those who entertained opinions - antagonis
tic to the action of the Committee; but it
appears to be subsiding. His Honor May
or Bredham, has issued a proclamation de
siring all good citizens to withdraw from
the Vigilance Committee or associations ofa
like character, and Judge Campbell, of the.
Court of Sessions, on the 12th instant,
charged the-Grand—Jury for the County that
all those concerned in the execution of Stuart
had been guilty of murder, or Were perli
ceps erininis.
The Viilence Committee still continues
to exercise its power, and is using its ut
most endeavors to rid the community of the
villains who have so long infested it. Their
acts are sustained by a majority of the citi
zens. Organizations of a similar character
have sprung up in almost all the prominent
places of California, and the Courts have
been forced, by the expression of public sen
timent, to pay stricter attention to the ad
ministration of the law.
The intelligence from the North is by no
means pleasant. A party of pioneer emi
grants who had been landed at Point Oxford,
above Trinidad, consisting of twelve men,
under the command of Cap. Kirkpatrick,
were massacred by the Indians, The In
diana in the chime vicinity of Rogue's River
and the Kalmath region have exhibited the
utmost hostility against the whites, and be
ing armed with guns and pistols, as well as
bows and arrows, are a most formidable ad
versary. Several parties of whites were
in arms and in pursuits of those who had
committed depredations, at the List ac•
counts.
The Indians are still troublesome in Sac
ramento Valley, and refuse to come in at
the place specified by Dr. 0. M. IVozen
craft, one of the Indian Commissioners.—
Col. Melee, also of the Commission, is at
Benicia; prepared to prosecute his mission
in the region of the Klamath and Trinity
Rivers. Col. Barbour is in the vicinity of
! Los Angeles, intending to visit again the In.
I diens in the Tulare Valley, who have re
cently exhibited a disposition to break their
treaty of peace and amity. The Commis
sion are totally ‘vtihout funds, and utterly
j unable to prosecute their mission to a suc
cessful issue without additional supplies.
A rencontre took place on the Ist inst.
between Geo. F. Lemon, City Assessor, and
Wm. H. Grrabant, a young lawyer. Shots
were exchanged, and Graham was shot in
the mouth and left arm. Lemon immedi
tately gave himself up, but his adversary
having told hint to draw, and defend him
self, and suited the action to the word, the '
Recorder discharged hint. Graham is out ,
and doing well.
The 4th ofJuly was not celebrated with
any great pomp,•in consequence ot the ca•
lamity which has so recently befallen the
city. It was, however, observed by the fir
ink of guns.•paradeS, &c. •
In Sacramento City a most aggravated
highway robbery was committed on the oth
inst., in broad daylight. Impatient .of the
law's decay, the people by their united ex
pression, induced the court and the law
yers selected to defend the prisoner, to go
into a trial immediately, and at last account
one of the party was before the court on trial.
The Mormons are making a decided move
ment towards establishing a direct commu
nication from the Salt Lake to the Pacific.
A large party have recently arrived from
Salt Lake through the Cajon Pass, about
sixty miles front Los Angeles, with an ex
pressed determination to settle in that sec
tion. They are said to be negotiating for
the purchase of a very fine rancho beliing-
ing to . SenofAntonia Longo.
The inteligence front the mines continues
to be. extremely encourageing, and aserier
al spirit of contentment seems .to, prevail
among, the , miners.
The effiicts of the late fi re in this city
are yet perceptib le, but the energy and en
terprise of our citizens are unabated: . The
"burnt district," although not entirely_ re
built, is pretty thickly studded' with tene
ments of all description, and brick and stbne
buildings of the most substantial charatter
'ate in procves oPurtatibulh Ovum?.
A man named James Stuart, convicted
for murder and robbery. was tried, condemn
ed and executed by the Vigilance Commit
tee of San Francisco, on the 11th of July.—
The following account of the prodeeUings is
frum'The dlta California of the 12th.
About 9 o'clock yesterday morning, the
tapping of the bell of the Monumental En
gine Company's house on the-Plaza r attrac.--
ted the attention of our citizens, known, as
it was, to be a signal of the Vigilance Com
mittee. People soon began to throng down
in the direCtion of the Committee-room, and
it was reported that James Stuart was to be
hung. The bell tolled for about half an
hour, when a number of guns were fired
from a brig in the harbor, and it was obser
ved
that many of the vessels had their flags
displayed,; and it was afterwards learned
- that - the - Cominimre - lisid requested this.-1
By 10 - o'clock - two - or - three -thousalid-peo
ple had gathered, and appeared to be quiet
ly waiting with the expectation of seeing
somebody hung.
The Committee, in the mean time, were
passing in progess inside. Everything was
conducted, however with so much secresy,
that it was known to but very few, if any,
outside, what was really going on ; and
many, after mining an hour or two, went
away with the supposition that nothing
would occur. About 1.1 o'clock, some one
e c
- came out - of thommittee-room and read a
portion of the confession which Stuart had
made, and It was stated that he would he
hung in an hour. The crowd sanctioned
this proposition almost unanimously. The
news spread, and a large crowd soon gath
ered. About 21 o'clock the Committee
came down stairs, and formed three abreast.
There Were nearly a thousand of them,
principally composed of our oldest, best
known and most prominent citizens, titer
chants, bankers, mechanics and business
men of every description. Previous to this
' a clergyman had been sent for, who remain
ed with Stuart some time.
The procession moved up Battery-st.,
preceded and followed by the crowd, with
Stuard handcuffed and pinioned, near their
center. There was no noise, no outcry,
no apparent excitement, and there was
something awfully solemn in the measured
tread of the procession upon the planked
street. When- the procession reached Ma r
ket-st., and it was perceived that they were
turning down, a rush was made to secure
good places, and some time before the pris
oner arrived every box, bale and barrel had
-its occupants. The decks - and rigging of
the vessels lying around the wharf itself was
one perfect sea of heads
MO
A gallows of plain uprights and a cross
beam had been erected, a .block with a rope
in it, and the noose ready made. On the
way doWn Stuart appeared perfectly cool
and collected, and not at all excited. When
he reached the gallows, the rope was placed
around his neck, and with the exception of
a slight paleness, there was nu change in
his appearance, no treinbling, no agitation.
He appeared to feel as though he was sat
isfied with his sentence, and did -not desire
to live longer. The resemblance between
Stuart and Burdue was most striking, and
lit is not at all strange that one should have
been taken for th e' other. The immense
crowd remained breathless, and Stuart, when
under the gallows, said, .1 die reconciled,
my sentence is just.'' The rope was pull
ed, and in a moment he was dangling in
the air. As he went up, he closed his eyes
and clasped his bands together. [-le had
previously requested that his face might
not be covered. He scarcely gave a strug
gle : and although the knot was on the back
of his neck, appeared to be in but little pain.
A slight contraction of the lower limbs, and
a straint heaving of the chest for a moment,
were all the symptons of approaching death.
After hanging about five minutes, his hat
blew off; and exposed to view the ghastly
features of the rubber. When he had hung
about 20 minutes, he was cut doWn by Cor
oner Gallagher, piaced in a boat ; and taken
to the Ist District Police Station-house.
There was no attempt made to rescue by
the authorities, and many persons in the
city knew nothing of the, affair till it was
over. it 117:1S conducted With the greatest
order and quiet. Heaven grant that it may
have.a salutary effect! Stuart was arres-
ted by the-Vigilant Coinniittoe about a week
since. fie was found removeing stolna
trunks, and was tried before the Committee
for the murder of Moore, and upon a vari
ety of other charges. It is said that he had
made some disclosures that tend to crimi--
nate a number of men in this city whom,
Characters have previously stood fair, and
that he has given the Committee clues that
tvill enable them to break up the organize,'
bands of villains in this State.
New York--Its Nipslotion.
'English, Irish, Scotch, Friinch,
Portuguese, Italian, Greek, German, I'rus-
sian, and Turk, one may see in the streets
of New York everyday, almost, if the eye
and ear be open ; but we suspect that it is
a new thing under the sun, to see an en
campment of Gipsies in this neighborhood
or in this country. Passing along•the road
that skirts the Elysian Fields, leading to
%Vest Hoboken, the other day, we saw some
two or three clusters of that singular peo
ple— of whom we here know so little, save
what we read in books—encamped in the
woods. There was the pot hanging from
the cone of the three sticks over the fire, the
women and children sitting on the grass and
the men working away in the teat near
by, mending umbrellas, pots and kettles, and
performing other duties pertaining, to the

W e are informed : that the Gipsies arrived
at this port-a few days ago, in a vessel from
Liverpool. They come from the vicinity
of Durham and New-castle, in Yorkshire,
i and are said to be the avant couriers of a
very large detachment of the same tribe,
who are coining to America, if these pion
'eers-report-chrriate, people, laws, etc., here

There were several Indian squaws at the
Elysian Fields, a bier days since. Some
! body there contrived to turn their attention
to the Gipsies, whose camp fires, on the
; green sward, were smoking in the distance.

The term Gipsey, as most of our readers
are doubtless aware, is derived front the'
Egypti«n. This peculiar race of . people,
Putnam's 'World's Progress' informs us ;
made their appearance first in Germany
about A. D. 1517, having quitted Egypt
I when attacked by the Turks. They are the
descendants of a great body of Egyptians
who revolted front the Turkish , yoke, and
being defeated, dispersed in small parties
all_over-tho-world, while their supposed
!skill in the black art gave them a universal
reception in that age of credulity and super
stition. Although expelled from France in
1560, and from most countries soon after,
they are yet found in every part of Europe
us well as in Aisa and Africa. Having re
covered their footing, they have contrived to
maintain it to this day. In England, an act
was made against their itinerancy, in 15:10 ;
and in the reign of Charles I„ thirteen per
sons were executed at one assizes for
having associated with_Gipsies fur about a
month, to the statute. The Gipsey settle
men at Norwood, near London, was broken
up, and they were treated as vagrants. May
1767. There were in Spain alone, previ
ously to the year 1800, more than 120,000
Gipsies, and many communities of them vet
exist in England ; and nothwithstanding
their intercourse with other nations, they are
still, like the Jews, in their manners, cus
toms, visage, and appearance, wholly un
