Mh. Editoii. —A few evenings ago f paid a
visit to the elegant paintings of Adam ami Eve
now exhibiting in our city, copied from that dis.
tinguished master of the French school, Dubuffe*
To say that I was pleased and delighted, is but
poor praise ; nor do I possess the power or ability
adequately to do justice to this finished etlort of
the Fine Arts; therefore, I shall not presume to
attempt it. Four or five years since it was my
happiness to see the original representatives of
the “Temptation” and “Expulsion,” and I do
not hesitate to declare that a more faithful tran
script taken with all the fidelity of truth could
possibly be made, than the pictures under consi
deration. They arc literal copies even to the most
delicate touches of the pencil. Nothing of the
richness of tho coloring is lost, —the beauty of
the design is the same—the enchanting loveliness
of the one is retained, and the terrific grandeur
and awful sublimity of the other is portrayed with
a precision truly wonderful. The face of the
female figure in the “Temptation” of the copy is
the most divinely beautiful that can be imagined,
and which, to see of itself, (at least with this
writer, he being a bachelor,) is worth twenty
times the price of admission, lieiug an ardent
admirer of the productions of art. and especially
of those of native talent, (as in the present case,)
and ever desirous to see genius rewarded and its
efforts fostered and encouraged, I make free to
advise all who have not seen tho paintings to lose
no time iu giving them a call, and 1 will vciltu'rtf
to assert, that they will not regret the time so
employed) or tho small amount thus expended.

The Murdered Soldiers.
It is known to many, that a few weeks ago, j
while a small body of Indians were being brought 1
into camps by a guard, consisting of two privates ■
and one officer, belonging to the 4th Infantry :
that the Indians rose against the guard and nmr- j
dered the two privates, and came very near taking
the life of tho officer. We have refrained from
saying much about this transaction heretofore, as
we had no data hut rumor, which is generally
more than half false. However, “ all thingshave
worked together for good.” Wc had the pleasure
of an interview with Col. Foster a few days since,
as he passed through this place with his Regiment,
on their way to the frontiers. Col. Foster, with
his Regiment of five hundred men, was ordered
hy the commanding officer, to the mountains of I
N orth Carolina, to capture, if possible, the mnr- |
derers, and make them suffer the penalties of the j
law for the violation; and also, to bring into I
camps the remaining Indians that were to he sent
off' to Arkansas. In the fulfilment of this duty,
the Colonel repaired to the mountains, which he
describes as being only fit lor Indians or hunters,
and commenced operations. From (he prospects,
he anticipated a winter campaign, and commenced
pitching his tents for that purpose. It, ho wever,
occurred to him that the surest and best way to
overhaul the refugees, would be to get the friendly
Indians in pursuit. To this end. he called in the
chiefs and head men, and laid his plans before
them. They readily acknowledged, that the per
petrators of the deed, ought to he brought to jus
tice, and without hesitation agreed to go out in
pursuit. It was ascertained that the twelve who
composed the offending party, had taken seven
different routes, to evade detection and they were
at seven different points— not even venturing to
come together. The Indians who pursued them
when they gut on the trail allotted three runners
to each trail; one on the trail and the others on
either side, so that had the refugees quit the trail
at any time suddenly, and gone either to the right
or left. It would have been immediately found
out. Iu ('.is way the pursuers were out five days,
i when they returned with eleven of the refugees.
Os those brought in the Colonel thought three
deserved death, and in the exereisc of that spirit
of comity am) forbearance, which has so generally
characterized the Officers of the Army, toward
the suffering Indians, he railed a council of those
who were friendly, and after being convinced that
one and all had proper views of the principles of
justice, and would irielc out, even to their own
(flood proper punishment for transgression, ho de
livered them over to the chiefs, to be dealt with
according to their laws. “Blood for blood” is the
governing principle of this tribe—consequently,
the doom of the murderers was as sanguinary as
if they had been punished hy the Regiment. On
the following day, the 24th ult. we believe, tho
three sentenced culprits were brought out. It
was arranged that there should he six execution
ers, two to fire at each man, one at the head and
the other at the heart. Previously to taking their
stand, the Colonel ordered a bandage to be placed
over their eyes, that they might not know which
of their brethren executed them. They were
then shot down in the presence of the Regiment.
Thus ended (hut day’s tnigrffv.
From the representations oflhe Chiefs, in whom
< 'ol. Foster had the utmost confidence, he thought
it unnecessary to detain the Regiment until the
next day, when the fourth and last murderer was
to be executed. In fulfilment of the promise
made hy the Indians, “ Old Charley,” who was
not captured at first, and was tho fourth one sen
tenced, was executed the 35th, in the sumo way
of the oiluird.
The Colonel informed us that neither of the
murderers, or their party, or wives pretended to
deny the commission of the deed. They frankly
acknowledged it; ami what is the most distressing
j parts, said that they committed the deed because
\ they did'n! want to go to Arkansas.—That they
) preferred death, and even felt happy in its near
approach, when they reflected that otherwise they
would have had to quit their homes and go to an
.unknown country ! Poor creatures! our heart
I bleeds for them ! Rejoicing iu an ignominous
j death, with the fearful account of having mur
dered their fellow-creatures, for which they would
have shortly to answer at the bar of God—even
rrjuicing in death under such circumstances, rath
er than quit their own mountains and hunting
grounds!
Previously to the departure of the Regiment
from tho mountains, the Colonel having all the
friendly Indians, thirty-two in number in camp,
felt it his duty to permit those friendly Indians,
who, at risk, captured the refugees and executed
litem, to remain in the country, and communica
ted to them the glad news. The Colonel says
he scarcely oversaw a more affecting scene—it
was cutting asunder those ties of friendship, which
had grown tip with their growth and strength;
hut it was not so heart-rending as tho idea of
leaving the home of their childhood! But the
parting scene was too affecting for the Colonel—
and in accordance with his feelings and the ex
pressed wishes of all the white citizens around,
he granted a permit for the whole thirty-two to
remain, until orders from the War Department.
Then was there joy, such as it docs the feeling
heart good to contemplate, hong will this little
hand, remember the name, of Foster, and revere
it as one dear to them and their children. In the
presence of the Regiment, the little remnant, with
Euchella as Chief, fraternized with tho “Tul
lians ' —a portion of the Cherokee tribe consisting
of about 390, who are permitted to remain in
North Carolina as citizens, and ate governed and
protected by the laws of that Stale.
It would be doing injustice to Col. Foster, if we
were to pass over in silence, the wisdom, prudence,
and charity which he manifested, in the discharge
of the disagreeable duty assigned him in the de
tection and execution of those criminals. He
evinced clearly that he knew the Indian character,
and profited by his knowledge. By having the
criminals executed himself, although ho was per
, feclly justifiable in so doing, he might have struck
ij a cord that would-have vibrated with revenge, in
j| every Indians breast. They have borne with a
i| good deal already ; but as yet, they have not show
ed any of that implacable hostility, which is so
characteristic of their tribe, when fully aroused.
Their execution, too, by their own people, was
; calculated to keep down any murmuring on the
part ot the Indian's friends. Thus the. Colonel
accomplished several good purposes hy his course,
and that without eompromitting the honor or in
terest of the Government.

mitteo on the Judiciary, reported a bill to limit
ami explain the powers of the Circuit Court ofthe
! District of Columbia. This law is proposed in
j reference to tin; famous mandamus case, which
i the President refers to in his message.
On motion of Mr. Denton, thirty thousand co
pies were ordered to be printed of certain docu
ments published by order of the British Pa'liainent
in I-SIB, relative to the operation of duties on
salt upon the laboring classes, upon the fisheries,
and agriculture.
Mr. Linn introduced a hill, to enable claimants
to land in Missouri and Arkansas, to test the va
lidity of their cla ms ; also, a hill for the relief of
■ Don Carlos do Lopus, late Governor of Florida,
j Mr. Kugglcs offered a resolution, instructing the
i Committee on Military Affairs, to impure into
| the expediency of building forts on the frontier of
Maine : and to inquire whether the States have
the right, under the Federal Constitution, to pro
tection from foreign aggression and encroachment
which was agreed to.
The Senate adjourned to Monday.
It is a remarkable fact, that not one bill has
been yet referred to a Committee in the House of
Representatives. The Senate have passed many
bills, private and public, and they now lie on the
Speaker’s table, and are there likely to lie. Some
of these bills have been there more than three
weeks.
The House, to-day, was engaged in a general
and very warm discussion on a motion of Mr.
W ise, tore-print, for the use of the House, twen
ty thousand copies of the two documents ofthe
last session, relative to public defaulters, and
twenty thousand copies of the document relative
to Swartwout’s defalcation.
Mr. James Garland moved an amendment, call
ing on the Secretary ofthe. Treasury for addition
al statements of all defalcations, and the corres
pondence relative to the same, up to the present
time.
The debate embraced a g cat vaiicty of topic s,
all of a party character. The conduct of the
Secretary of the Treasury, the cause ofrecent de
falcations, the Sub-Treasury scheme, the “second
sober thought,” and “sober second thought” ofthe
people, and all that.
Ko question was taken on the subject. After
five hours discussion, the House adjourned with
out coming any where near a conclusion on the
matter.
About thirty members attempted to get the floor,
when Mr. Boon, who spoke last, concluded. So
much eagerness for debate, I have never witnessed
in the. House.
Mr. Bond, of Ohio, has the floor for to-morrow,
when we may expect a very long speech.

The Boston Pot of Thursday says: —“A friend )
has shown us a private letter from London, which
j says: “The question of marriage between the
(iueenandthcDucdoNoniouvs.it is said, was
submitted to the Privy Council yesterday, (tith
November.) at Windsor. It cannot, of course,
be publicly known to any one out of the Cou:;-
i il. If a proposition to this effect has come from
Louis Philippe—and it is not unlikely, as he Is a
cunning as well as an ambitious “cove,” —il must
be brought before Parliament, and the Prince must
embrace the Protestant faith before it can he en
tertained. The intimation of the marriage is re
ceived with much favor by the public, andisdaily
gaining ground.”
.V Ficiit.—We extract the following from
the Baltimore Transcript of Thursday last:—We
learn with regret that certain members of two re
j spec-table fire engine companies of this city, with
j out the sanction or authority of either of their
i respective companies, numbering twenty individu
als on each side, undertook to settle their difier- I
enccs by repairing to Howard’s Park on Friday
afternoon Inst past, where they selected two on
each side of their number, to fight with fists until
one of the parties was “ used up.” The police
arrived on the ground just after the affray was
over.
'Phis affair is looked upon by tile majority o
the firemen with disapprobation.
A 0 .inrun at Ai.ii.exy —The Evening Jour
nal says:—Officer Coulson succeeded on Satur
day evening in tracing out one of the most exten- i
sive depredators upon stares end manufactories
that has infested the community for a long time,
and with officer W. B. Thayer, seized the” rogue
near tiie Capitol Park, whore he was promenad
ing with a companion, and after a severe strug
gle, in which tile pair were nicely floored, the
rogue was put in lace am] stowed’away in jail
' This rogue is the notorious Silas U. Phelps, i
Westfield, Mass., Aid is supposed to have com
mitted or participated in more robberies than any
other man in this part of the country, and is now
apprehended on a charge of robbing the whip fac
tory of Messrs. Ramin & Co., and several stores,
; <Vc. in the vicinity of Westfield.
I Cossi-it:\-cr.—Richard Osborne, of George
; town, received from Washington, the following
| note,without a signature. Truly, “conscience
! makes cowards of us all.”
! Sir:—The enclosed one hundred dollars has
I been unjustly taken and withheld from you. I
restore it in the fear of the Judge of all the earth,
praying for forgiveness from him as well as from
| yourself.

i Very true. Several “individuals” in the se
i vice of the government have “taken care of’
j good deal of the money, and will “disburse” it;

OBITUARY.
Departed this life on Friday morning, the 2Sth .
December, after a short and sad ten illness, Mr
i (At.i nnr M. L isniv, ia the fifty-sixth yean
her age. After walking the streets on Thursda
i evening, in her usual health, on arriving at home !
site was suddenly attacked with sickness, and be
j lore the light of another morning she breathed her
I last without a struggle era sigh, thus showing that
| *• we know not what a day or an hour mav bring
i forth.”
j Mrs. Cashin was a native of Ire’amt, but had
I been a resident of Augusta since the year 1 >Ol, en
deare i to all who knew her, and venerated for tier
: worth, in the year 1522, by the death of for Inis-
I band, she was left the sole head of a family, a situ
ation >o trying to the unexperienced female, but
| she exhibited a degree of energy and enterprise
. vvoithy of all commendation, an I her judicious
management ha- been abundantly successful,
j But the crowning ornament of ber character was,
that sh was a disciple of the meek and low].- Sa
iv K- Many years ago. from a -epse of the \anit-
of the world and the ■ ou-t.aining love ot
j had Ken led to honor les name by a pubhc profes
sion of religion, and si.a was a consistent and ex
emplary member of the church.
Mic was anticipating with great delight the ap
proach of another communion Sabbath, but two two
days before that Sabbath came, she was called, we
do.ibt not, to the higher services of the upper tern
pie, where they no more need the emblems of Chris
tianity, for “ they see Him as he is,” and faith is
lost in sight,
Mrs. Cashin laid a warm heart, and much of that
aiiifir of temperament characteristic of the land of
her nativity, which i.-, so engaging and so suited to
create strong attachments.
Her 10-s is severely felt and dgy'or.-d by the circle
she enlivened and blessed, and it is irreparable from
any earthly source. Hut let the grief of Surviving
affect ion bo ohas ened by the thought that their loss
is her eternal gain ; and whilst the bereaving event
quickens their labors to be prepared to meet Iter
sainted spirit in a brighter and better world, let
faith submissively listen to tiic coii.so lng words of
inspiration, respecting the end of the real Christian,
“and 1 heard a voice from heaven saying, blessed
are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth,
yca,saitf> the spirit, for they rest from their labors
and their works do follow them. T.
