Sunday School Gamblinu Schemes.— Speaking of this new fashionable vice, the New York Tribune says: Sunday-school gambling scheme*—-or, in other words, lotteries and raffles at church fairs—have become so common a feature of those annual entertainments, that even the charge of a Kings County Judge to the Grand Jury, that it was the duty of that body to indict every participant in such f >radices for violation of law,caused mere- y a week’s quaking among the fair offeu- ers before they resumed the disreputable swindle. Among the noticeable items of news in our Mexican correspondence U the fact that managers of the poor-house at Jalapa have prayed the General Govern ment to so far rescind tho order prohibit ing all lottery schemes as to allow them to continue a small lottery which they have operated for years, and without whose aid they cannot sustain their institution. If the success of the almshouse in question is es timated upon the number of inmates, then the claim is undoubtedly well founded, for wp know of no custom more conducive to well-stocked poor-houses titan that which instills & passion for lottery tickets or raf fle chances. Supporting paupers by help ing to beggar many now out of the alms house, is about ou a par with sending Bi bles tb Hindustan with mo-icy inveigled from the public under like false pretences. Thh Indian War*—The Commissioner of Indian Affairs at Washington received the following communication on tho 1st in stant : Os age Nation, South of Kansas,) September % 1867. ) Hon. N. O. Taylor, Oom. of Indian Affairs, Washington, D. (7.; Dear Sir: We, the head Chlefe of the Osage Indians, being very desirous to re main on friendly term3 with our Great Fa ther, the President of the United States, do hereby renew our friendship, and do trust that the Government of the United States will extend to us the usual protection. We have just returned from our summer hunt. We have not met with any Indians un friendly to our Great Father, and have been successful on our hunt. On our return from the plains wo were told that we. as an Osage nation, had been accused ol being unfriendly to the Gov ernment, and disposed to disturb the set tlers, our neighbors. To state the truth in its reality, we desired and demanded such white men as had settled on reservation to remove their families and stock from our lands, but we have, in no instance, disturb ed any of the settlers who live on the lands sold to the Government, or jciven in trust by treaty of 29th September, 1865. We ao not deny that during our hunt we have seen some American horses among our ponies, but on returning from the plains we have carefully collected them all and placed them under the care of a white merchant to be returned to their rightful owners. Permit us to observe that tbe whites have stolen a larger number of our ponies, whilst we have no means of ever recovering them. We are also told that the State of Kan sas is organizing four companies of mili tia to protect the white settlers in the south part of Kansas against the hostile Osages. We never were nor never intend to bo hostile to our Government, or the whites. We know that our welfare de pends on their protection, and therefore solicit the usual protection from the Gov ernment. Your friends and brothers, Whitb Hair, [his x mark,] Principal Chief Osage Nation. LrrrLB Bhar, [his x mark.] Chief. Clermont, [his x mark,] Chief. Tall Chief, [his x mark.] Chief. And many others. Barnum’s Gorilla Attacks His Kkrpei: . The Gorilla recently placed in Barnuin'* Museum yesterday afternoon gavo an ex hibition of his natural fierceness by at tacking his keeper, Prof. Davison. Fortu nately, the latter escaped without serious injury, and at the same time without giv ing the gorilla an opportunity to practi cally demonstrate to the incredulous whe ther the said animal has sufficient power to tear a man to pieces. Yesterday afternoon, as Mr. Davison wa« in his accustomed place, he ventured too near the bars of the cage, within reach of tho monster. The hand of tho animal In stantly grasped Davison’s right arm. Prot'es3or Davison almost instinctively dropped to the floor, so as to bring the hand of the gorilla to the floor of the cage before ho could grasp him with his other hand. To have remained standing would have given the gorilla an opportunity to have pulled the arm out by the socket, if he had the power, which Professor Davi son professes to believe. The grip of the animal slipped from the arm ofMr. Davison, but still retained hold of the coat. As the keeper fell, the beast held his whole weight at arm’s length with apparent ease. Professor Davison quickly threw off his coat, which was torn tosh reda by the gorilla. The affair caused much excitement for u few moments. Professor Davison waa slightly injured.—New York Post. The Question Settled.—The Interna tional Congress, which has just met at Paris, has decided that cholera is not contagious, but is eminently infectious, like yellow fever, typhus, etc. It origin ates where large numbers of individuals are collected under bad hygienic or clima- teric conditions. It is transported along great maritime, fluvial or lands of communication by the travelers who frequent them. Crowding is the principal cause of cholera and of almost all epidemics, and ventilation is the best means of preventing and stopping such maladies. To herd them together like beasts is to kill them as a matter of cer tainty. Individuals in an infected district must therefore be scattered, and themselves and their clothes be disinfected as soon as possible. 4k ► The Ram Memkimac.—Another effort is now being made to raise the famous ram Merrimac from the bed of tbe Elizabeth (Va.) River, where she has remained an obstruction to navigation since her de struction during the war. All her gnus, anchors and chains have beeu removed by the wreckers in the employment of the Government. All attempts to blow up tbe hull have so far failed. The wreckers have secured the iron prow, and are advertising it for sale as a curious relie. Gen. i*orE and the Press.—All reason able men''in Georgia ought to congratu late themselves that the military law in this State is administered by* a man so moderate, competent and patient as Gen. Pope. Had be been disposed to retaliate the abuse and insults which have been heaped upon ium by the secession pres— had he been tempted to use resentfully the power in his hands—we should have found them as quiet as they were when, just al ter the surrender, they were apprehensive that a King Stork would rule over them. The senseless ridicule and vituperation with which they assail Gen. Pope, show* that the military tyranny they complain of cannot be much of a tyranny, or they would be more reticent in their language. But they are determined not to be suited either by mild or severe rule.— Rejtublican. Disposal of Public Land.—Tbe » missioner of the General Land Otlie< received an account of land suie.- August, at the Hmnbot and Yienlla ol in California, showing that 4.950 acres disposed of, a large portion of which entered under the homestead law. returns showing that over 3.000 acre* disposed of at the Host bury ollice.Iw gon, A800 acres of» ha.li were cuu>y * der the homestead act for actual setrci and cultivation I om- . ii*,i Ire- un- nent j 63F”Gen.
