the Indians. Judge Paschal] remarked that
h«* had been lor houie time engaged iu an
effort to secure tho adoption of a plan by
which these and other civilized tribes hoped
to become the pioneers of civilization to all
the wild tribes of tho West; that they thought
tho civilized tribes could save millions of dol
lars to the Government und secure peace to
the frontier settlements.
Tho President replied that he thought such
apian should be encouraged; that he was
satisfied that feeding was cheaper than gun
powder. But the drawback was that many
people seemed to be bent npon the polic y of
extermination, which was both inhuman and
expensive

the sum of eight or ten millions of dollars
per annum the civilized tribes would under
take to open f irms on w hich they would sup
port and educate the lawless Indians, and
soon prepare them for American citizenship.
The Indian service, remarked the President,
now costs the Government sixty millions an
nually. Mr. Folsom said the civilized tribes
<r<<u!d undertake the whole thing, and guar
antee perpetual peace tor ten millions per
annum, to lie expended in farms and schools,
The President wished the delegation every
success in their laudable enterprise.

Extension of the Atlantic- and tiulf
Kntlroud.
We are in favor of tho completion of the
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad to Mobile at as
early a day as the tiuauces of the people will
justify it. The superior advantages of the
locality of this road, anil the benefits the
country is to derive from it, can hardly he
too highly appreciated, provided it can be
pushed through to its Western terminus be
fore the field is occupied by other roads. No
one at all interested iu the success of this
great work can consent to have it atop mid
way in its course, and before it has pene-
trated sufficiently into the interior to give it
the full benefit of its locality -in affording
Southeastern Alabama and West Florida, as
well as Mobile and the country bevoud, a
direct communication with Savannah and
other Atlantic ports. When this road reaches
Mobile, it is not improbable that it will be
the beet paying road iu the South; but until
it does reach that port, it cau never accom
plish tha object had in view by its origina
tors, or repay the labor and capital expended
upon it
Should our farmers succeed this year in
their unprecedented efforts to moke a large
crop, the extension of the Gulf road may be
deemed no longer problematical. In a'ddi-
l tton to this, the disposal by the city of Savan
nah of her original stock, will place her in
circumstances to justify her in subscribing
more largely to the road, and with less bur
den to her citizens, to insure its immediate
extension westward.
The Legislature of Alabama, as well os the
people ant 1 c
road,
ever called upon
dications are that the people of Southeastern
Alabama are aroused to the importance of the
extension of this road through their section,
and stand ready, at a moment s notice, to
give the rOed ell the aid in their power.
We would be pleased to see the movement
- to extend the Gulf road inaugurated by tho
company, and corps of engineers authorized
to run the line through, with a view to its
permanent location.
Let tho attention he ventilated by the press,
so as to develop the practicability of the
movement at an early day.

The York and Ainsty foxhounds mtt on
Thursday morning at Stainley House. After
finding in a cover, near Stainley, the hounds
ran through Copgrovd, and thence toward
Newby Pork. Tjie fox here crossed the river
Ure, which was much swollen. Several of
the gentlemen who were !n pursuit attempt
ed to cross the river at a ford some distance
up the stream, but Sir Charles Slingsbv, the I
master of the hounds, and a majority of those
who were close up, made for the ferry. Swol
len by the late rains, and to a great extent
diverted from its natural channel, the river,
at this point some fifty or sixty yards broad,
■wept along with a strong, deep current
Witn little or no hesitation, the master of the
hounds sprang into the boat, and in a very
short time some twelve or fourteen gentle
men, with their horses, crowded into a vessel
intended to accommodate only half that num
ber. Those who entered the boat were Sir
Charles Slingsby, Oreys (the whip). Sir Geo.
Wombwell, Captain Vyner, Mr. Clare Vyner,
Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Robinson, Major Mussiuden,
Captain Molinenx, the Hon. Henry Molyneux,
Captain Key, Mr. White, aud some more mil
itary officers from York Barracks. Viscount
Dowue, Lord Lascelles, and several others
who wero either unable to fiud room in the
boat or had thair doubts as to ils safely, re
mained on the banks awaiting its return.
Seizing the chain by which the flat-bot
tomed boat is propelled, Captain Vyner and
his brother pushed it off from the river side,
and sent tho vessel right into tho stream. Be
fore one-third ot the distance had been tra
versed, Sir Charles Slingsby’s horse became
, and kicked the animal belonging to
Sir George Wombwell. The latter, a high-
mettled chestnut, returned the kick, and
something very like a panic arose nmoug the
horses. The boat was swayed first to one side
.1 then to the other, ami finally it was fair
ly turned bottom upward.
moment the slimy bottom of the
boat, rocked to and fro by the struggling of
the men aud horses, was all that coufd he
by the spectators on the bank; then
here ami there in different parts of the stream
heads began to appear, only to sink again
amid agonized cries, and hands and arms
were flung up in despair. Horses were seen
to battle with the current, striking out re
gardless of the injuries they inflicted on their
masters, who were also swept by the current
out of the reach of those anxious to afford
relief. Iu some cases, however, the prompt
measures taken by the spectators were effec
tual. Those who could swim cast mi’ tlitir
coats aud plunged to save their friends, while
others, not so happily gifted, took less vigor
ous, though no less useful steps. Lines
formed oi whips were tied together and
thrown within reach of the drowning men,
and;several beams of wood which fortunately
lay scattered about were quickly launched on
the stream. Capt. Vyner was one of the first
to get his head out of water, aud to save him
self from the current by clinging to the up
turned vessel. Alter a vigorous struggle he
reached the top ot the boat, and was aide to
assist first Sir George Wombwell, and after
wards one of tho York officers to the same
position. Mr. White got on sbmo by meant,
of the chain stretched across the leu.v, while
others were rescued by the means adopte.t
for their safety from the banks.
In a v«-ry tew unuutes, however, it was
found that six men and eleven horses had
been drowned. Sir Charles Slingsbv was
seen bv the spectators on the bank to strike
out for the opposite shore, but when nearing
it lie threw up his hands, and the last '..-eii
of him was Lis body floating down the river
with his lu-ad and legs under water. None of
the others drowned were seen at all. The
body of Sir Chuiles Shugsby was discovered
3ih> yards below the scene of the ac
cident bv Mr. Denison, of B.pon, ami Mr.
Wood, of the *ame city, about lmll-past -4
o'clock. The bodies of Captain Llovd and

A Romance of Real Lffe-Trntk Stranger
than Fiction*
Why go to novels for fiction, when truth*
that is stranger, every day stares us in the
face ? Why seek in high life for dramas, when
we find orange girls becoming duchesses,ser
vant girls becoming countess©*, and ladies of
doubtful origin and very dubious character
sharing an emperor’s throne!^ Nell Gwynne
rode in her coach, Lady Hamilton gloried in
a position which received lustrefrom the fame
of her lover, and Josephine became dizzy' at
the height which she had reached, just before
her fall. Is it not a romance to find Sheridan,
the flattered and sought for, dying, shnnned
aud starving, without even the consolation of
knowing that, a few years after, his grand
daughter is to shine as beanty’s queen and as
a duchess, or to read of Brummefl, the court
ed and the dictator of fashion, begging for
bread in a tattered garmentAnd is the story
of Cinderalla'any more wonderful than that
of Engenie, who drives to-day in the coach of
an emperor, who. twenty years ago, scarcely
owned a pumpkin to make one out of?
Our own city of Baltimore has witnessed in
its days more than one littili bit pf dramatic
romance. One of the most 'urfotni, however,
has come to light within the past few days
and as the veil, which covered up the myste
ry, has been removed by death, there is now
roug in giving the details of a story
curiously strange. It is as follows:
;o a noble Baron,
resi«ung in ttie northern part of Germany,
smitten with the charms of the (laughter of a
well known Doctor, in the town where he
lived, wooed and won her, and made her a
Baroness. Years sped rapidly along, the
birth of two daughters gave additional life to
the little household and the Baron rejoiced in
his little garden, which he too confidently
iqiagined was free from the trail of the ser
pent. Coming home, however, one night,
very unexpectedly, he found a votin'; student
in his room, and in au access of wild jeal
ousy and rage, seized npou a sword, which
'*■ iv h;iu<dng against the wall of the chamber,
and ran him through.
I lie Hi iron tied to the Crimea, where he
served throughout the Crimean war aud, after
it was ended, made his way after various vicis
situdes of fortune, to Baltimore, where, under
an assumed name, he commenced to give in-
structious iu languages. Happening one day
to go into a music shop, after he had resided
some time in the city, for the purpose of
making a trifling purchase, to his great as
tonishment, he met face to face with his wife
who was standing behind the counter. Af
ter the first surprise was over, they had each
the prudence to remain silent. A meeting
was arranged, when the ex-Baroness inform
ed her husband that, feeling that their inter
course* was ever at an end she had accepted
the proposals of her present husband to mar
ry him, and come to America, which she ac
cordingly did without troubling herself about
a divorce. She had brought with her her
two daughters, who bore the name of her
lmsbuud aud imagined themselves

A subject of town talk in i\*rin is an elope
ment, which caused great axcitement iu
fashionable circles. There are two versions
current. According to the first, the sosj of
Count d’Aqnila (the ex-King of Naples' uncle/
has been so deeply impressed with the charms
of a fair American beauty, yet in her teens,
that he has run away with her. Another ver
sion is that the young lady and her mamma,
whose pecuniary position is said not to be
brilliant, have run away with this youthful
and amorous Bourbon. On dit, that a mar
riage has been hastily celebrated, and that
the fugitives, under the wing of this ambi
tious mamnuC are now ploughing their way
across the Atlantic—love-sick and sea-sick.
Count d’Aquila has put an embargo on the
fugitives as regards French trans-Atlantic
packets, and is understood, moreover, to
Lave telegraphed to Scotland-yard for advice,
assistance, and a detective.
The cremation of dead bodies, instead of
interment, is being very much advocated in
Paris. That mode of disposing of the dead
is said to be, on various accounts, the most
eligible. The cemeteries of luanv cities are
becoming great and increasing’nuisances,
aud to excavate a grave in them a most re
volting operation. The public health in many
places is affected. So far as feeling is eou r
corned, there should bo less on the score of
the pyrt than the <}ru vt —especially a grave in
a public cemetery, reeking with decaying ani
mal matter and alive with worms. Fire is
purifying, and the sacred relics reduced to
small compass may be easily and safely pre
served It is thought the French Assembly

with whom I had a difficulty about three
months ago.
The difficulty, it is proper to remark, re
sulted iu a wound to Mr. Pain, from which
he has since died.
Siuce that time Mr. Lawson has frequently
reproached me with -having fought with the
two parties above named, and has frequently
stated that, although I was successful in kill
ing them, I could not kill him.
About tea days ago, at the Custom House,
I met Lawson, with whom I bad some diffi
culty iu consequence of his taking a five-dol-
lur bill to ci*t changed, aud of rotusing to re
store it. f at the time struck him, and this
blow resulted in u challenge.
The duel then arranged was postponed in
consequence of the illness of Mr. Lawsou,
until Saturday morning. The weapons at
that time agreed upon were small swords,
and the place of meeting a little below the
levee. The meeting occurred at 8.20, aud
wns witnessed by two or three hundred Sol
diers.
Once on the ground I hesitated for some
time after the swords were drawn about fight
ing, and attempted to avoid a difficulty. It
was not until he had cursed me, and had run
the point of his sword against my hand, that
I made any lunge at him whatever. Upon
first going on the ground I had stuck my
sword into the Louvre bank, and repeatedly
told him he had no provocation for fighting.
Finally, when he had several times cursed
me. the fight commenced in good earnest.
Twice, then, after this had commenced, and
when I hud twice parried his lunges, 1 at
tempted to end rile difficulty.^ I then made a
thrust at him v. :h my sword,"aud the point
passed betweci. he second aud third rib in
the left side, r. .ictrating his heart.
Lawson, who liad ten or twelve of his
friends with him, was then carried to a car
riage. Before lie reached this his surgeon in
attendance announced that he was dead.
I was thereupon arrested by an officer in
charge of the barracks, who had been a wit
ness to the fight, and brought to the city,
though subsequently released.
