Iron the EocLcyJIon-talns.
The St. Louis Republican of the 21st nit. has
the following" interesting summary of news from
the Rociey Mountains:
Among the pas eng rs of the steamer Daroc
down yesterday from Missouri river were Mr.
JP. D-Pa pin and about thirty Yoyogeiirs who are
in charge of somesix Mackinaw boats loaded mth
buffi do robes and consigned to Messrs. P. Choa
teftu Jr. & Co.
Mr.Papiu corroborates the report relative to the
existence of small -pox amonj the Sioux Indians
during the put winter and states also that numer-
ous deaths have uccured in that tribe by cholera.
It is supposed that during the winter from three
to foor thousand of tbeee Indians have died by
these combined diseases. The small-pox is still
raging and as the Sioux continue to have free iu-
terconse with other tribes in their vicinity there
can uu fortunately be Utile doubt thatit will spread
through a large portion of the Iudiau country
Both disease? were introduced bj the emigrants
to Oregon and California. The various trading
posts throughout the country were well supplied
uith medicines and the traders have been enabled
ui consequence to reuder efficient sen ice iu check -lap
these new and fearful diseases.
The exprera bearing the circular of Col. D. D.
Mitchell Superintendent of Indian Affairs to the
several tribes of Indiaus living south of the Mis
ouri .river was met beyond ibe Cheyenne and
near Grand river on the 25th or 2Cih ult. He
had been well equipped and well supplied with
provisions ut Fort Pierre and it was suppcd
thatlie prosecuted his journey thence rapidly
It is presumed that by this lime many of the
tribes have Ijeen notified to repair lo Tort Laramie.
Uulcss the prevaTIinjj elckntss should interfere
the attendance at this treaty between the Indians
and the United States Governmeut will be tarly
and .general.
Major flatten Indian Agent came down on
the Maokinaw-bootj of MrrPapuj as far as Helle-
vue and thence on the steamer Duruc to frt. Jo-
epli where he has run a hied on busiuess. Capt.
Joseph A. Sire was also takeu en board at Btlle-
Vue. 'All Ttin Resolutions Not Ion since a mls-
tkwary meeting was held among the negroes in
' the West Iudies at which the three fuhWiuj r--uIutHms
were passed:
We will all give something.
'We witl all give ns Ood has enabled us
"" ; Wc will all give willingly.
At the close of the meeting a learned negro took
his seat at the table in order to mar'- down the
sum each came to give. A large number came
mod laid their contributions upon the table some
more or less. Among the number thatcAme up
wag a "rich old colored man as rich as all the others
put together who threw dow u upon the table a
;i!Ter coin.
1'Ialtedatback" said the African receiver of
the monej se&ted at Ihe-taWU .15 D-tt may be
accordm to de first resolution but uotlccordu'
la de second
The rich old man accordingly took it np and
hobbled back to his real in a rage. One after
another cauie forward almost all git ing more than
himself. He was faith ashamed and aam threw
- down a piece of money vu the table sa) lug
Drc take dat?"
alt was a valuable piece of cold but It was glv-
enso ill tempcrudlj that the nun at the tabic
answered
"No dat won't do yet. It may be accordm'
to the fast and second resolutions but lid accord -m'
to the last;' and the old man again took his
coin.
Still annoyed at himself and all around him he
sat a long time till nearly all were gone and thtu
came to the table and with a pleasant counten-
ance gave a large sum to the treasurer. The re-
ceiver as he marked down the amount exclaim-
ed ''well deu dat am accordm' to all de resolu-
tions. Tnc New Costume is Old Times in a
(ork recently publWied.enlitled "Noble Devds
of American Woman" we find the following
interesting anecdote showing that the Udies
of the olden time were at times in fatur eten
of a more radical change of dress tliauis now
proposed:
Alter the deparlnro of Col. Pre-cntts regi-
ment of minute men" Mrs. Dm id Wright of
Pcppenille MrjJob Shattutk of Grotnnnud

now Jew Ut'a Bridge oCerlhe Nashua between
Pepperville and Groton clothed in their hus-
band' best apparel and armed with niu&kets
pitch Forks and tucli other weapons ns they
conld find and having elected Mrs. Wright
their commander resolutely determined that
- no foe to freedom fonegn or domestic should
pass that bridge; for rumors were rife that the
regulars were approaching and frightful stories
of daughter flew rapidly from place to place
and fromhousc to house.
Soon there appeared one on horsebick sup-
posed to be treasonably engaged in conveying
intelligence to the enemy. By the implicit
command of Sergeant Wright he was immedi-
ately arrested unhorsed searched and the trea-
sonable correspondence found in is boots
" He was detained prisoner and sent to Oliver
Prescott Eqof Groton and his de'patches
; were sent to the Committee of Safely.
Tnx Place for Married LiDiEt. Mr. Sum -
mers in a recent speech before the Virginia Con-
vention replied to an accusatiou made against
him that "he wished to throw married ladies
overboard" as follows:
I shall not cease to cherish the belief that my
wife and children are citizens of this Common-
wealth alihongh not permitted as they ought not
3 lo be permuted to mingle in the scenes to which
I have alluded. Yet they are citizens and they
are not unrepresented through the medium of those
they are connected withj the incapable and im-
mature child through the father; the- wife through
the husband. They are not "overboard. For
the satisfaction of my friend from London (Mr.
Janney) whore frenstbilites seem to be disturbed
I would inform him that so far from "throwing
her overboard" we throw her icAere she ought to
It in the arms of her husband.

will lay before the Chambers all the correspondence

MORE PARTICULARS OP THE RECENT STORM
ON MATAGORDA BAY
The Lavaca Commercial of the 2d inst gives
the following particulars of the late disastrous
storm ou Matagorday bay some of which were
not funitshed iu the accounts given in our last
israe. ; and by reference to a communication from
that quarter written on the 4th lust. it will be
seen that some errors exist in the details here
given :
On Wednesday the 25th nit in the forenoon a
hnvy wind came up from the East and continued
blo-xing strongly dorioj the remainder of the day.
Towards night the wind shifted to the southeast
and blew w ith n violeuce during the remainder of
the night to which the recollections of the oldest
inhabitants of this portion of the coast cuu furnish
no parallel. It was truly an awful night hiid the
terrible roaring of the tempest shaking buildings to
tlieir foundation and threatening destruction lined
all with alarm and apprehension. The tide rose to a
fearful height tar beyond all former example beat-
ing with terrific violence upon the beach and do-
ing extensive damage. Towards day the fury of
the galo commenced abating and wi'h the dawn-
ing of the light a tearful scene of d sister wan pre-
sented. The violence of the tide had broken and
swept away all the thanes; some were almost
entirely dtbtrojed scarcely a vestige rtmniningto
show where they ttood. Of others a ftw frag-
ments were remaining The narchou'e of Jlrs
Ross was borne totally aw aj Ly the iulcnce of the
flood cud that of Mjjor Kcr broken and consider-
ably injured. The schooner JIaria and William
which was lying at the wharves was torn from
her mooring and cast upon the beach where the
now lies high and dry though probably but little
injured Hut one budding iu the town was blown
dowu; but ft nc es and enclosures wire prostrated
in eery direction. Com and egetdtion of every
Uind was literally beaten to the earth. '1 he btmen
was strewed with vast quantities of lumber swept
from the whan eft together with the matcrijU of
which the wharves themselves uer eniujwvieJ

and perhaps the injunm suMnineiTSt-c jec$ than
might haebeen anticipated trom the lrtaeiidcua
violence of the storm. Ju ludianula it has"U:en
equally disastrous; the wharves were destroyed
and two buildings wen lifted from the blocks and
thrown upou the ground. A portion of the town

damaged by the w jter. 1 hree small boats King

At De crow's one or two houses injured ; at La-
Salle the balance of tho wharf was cankdawai ;

ned away several houses shattered more or less
and several small boats destroy cd. The feioumboui

Tho steamship .Mexico at her anchorage bc'ow
was blown hard agiouud and until yeserda re-
mained immovable. Yesterday she was slewed
around and hauled by the capstan about 100 fett
and will uo doubt get otr sooiu She is in uowite
injured.
At Port Laraca. ell the wharves and one ware-
house were carried awa and some oiher damage
sustained. The schooner Mann and Willidtn wm&
thrown to the bluff and is btHI there. At both La-
vaca and Indiancla the entire injury djne w ill be
repaired in a wet k or two. Indeed the whanes
tile nearly so now.
At Goljud five houses were blown down. On
the bas along the coast from this to Lamar most
every person suffered; generally the houses being
light and small were blown do;vu. At Refugio
considerable damage was done.
That in ho general and severe a hurricane no
life has been lost is truly astonishing and should
console for all other losses. Yours truly
