Mrertine in Benacr of THE IypiaNs —Pursu- ant toa cail in the papers from a committee con- sisting of J. Beeson, A. Dart, E. White and C. Townsend quite a number of persons collected at Odd Fellows’ Hall last evening to hear set forth the crievances, &c., of the various Indian tribes. ‘The meeting baving been advertised as free, the trustee of the hall seemed to have some doubt with regard to the forthcoming compensation for the use of snid hall, gas, and other appurtenances, and not until some time after the hour announced. for the doors to be opened was the committee granted the occupation of the building; while in the meantime the curious who were flocking up would anxiously glance at the dark windows, and with uncomplimentary allusions to Indian attairs in. general pass on to make room for others to enjoy. the same sensation of disappointment. ‘The hall having been opened at last, a tolerably large collection of people assembled, and about half-past eight the performances commenced. Jodge J. Brayton was elected chairman of the meeting, and Henry Janney, Ei ; Secretary. Larooqua (of the Penobscot Indians) then a in taking style, “The Red, White and Blue,” which brought down the house in applause The chair then introduced to theaudience John Beeson, Esq, who gave a narrative of the wrongs practiced upon the Indians by designing men, sent out as agents by the Government, and ex- plained how they might be redressed.’ He had traveled extensively among the various tribes of our continent, and bad always found them capable of attaining the highest state of civilization. They were sated for their good singers, and many of the tribes have churches, schools, Inms for the poor, and other advantages of civilized life. Several Indians were In the employ of the Govern- ment as civil engineers, and in some of the States they were employed as teachers of music and leaders of church choirs. He also read extracts from New York papers, showing the trickery of — agents — ae manner in which the ndians were robbed of the money aj jated for their benefit by Congress. “Chey never received more than one third of the money appropriated, and the white men in the West would steal the clothing sent ont '> the Indians, leaving them the poorest, abd br tittle of that. There was a prac- tice of cutt’ ay the Maat Site atetps, unt instead .-'*.ag each Indian a whole blanket, as pro- “ed by Government. they would only get a nar- row strip, not large enough to cover them when lying down Sometimes each blanket was cut into as many as fourteen strips, each Indian re- celving but one The “«Indian’s Lament” was then sung b Lareeqna in an affecting manner; after whic Peter "Fateon, a Choctaw chief, addressed the meeting. He feit that he should make an apology before speaking, not being prepared to say any- thing upon the subject, and having no idea of ad- dressing them when he entered the ball. He did not know much of the Penobscot tribe, to which Red Feather and his Satria oman belonged, as be lived in another part of the country—Arkan- ses—but would give them a brief statement of the condition of bis own tribe. When they lived in Mississippi the white men came to them and told them that in the West they would find baffalo and deer, and wild game in abundance; but when they got ont there they found bat little, and finally became farmers ard stock-raisers, and built up churches and schools, &c d now all they asked was that the white man would let them alone. While they lived by themselves they became ebrietianized under the teachings of their mis- sionaries; but as soon as the white man came among them he would take oat advantage of them, and by their wrongs excite the Indians to anger and crime. He bad not the least doubt but that the Choctaws would eventually attain to the seme level of the whites !f designing men would let their people alone. That was thelr aim and intention, and ke was confident of success. He attended a Baptist Association in Memphis, and told them that the Choctaws had always been.the friend of the white men. They hi stood by them in their youth, and shad fought their battles ‘oy their side. When the whites were weak their forefathers had helped them, and had been fa.th- ful; and now after nee 2 bad driven their offspring and children from their homes and the graves of their fathers into the far West, and they were working out their own civilization among them- seives, they cried out to white people over and help us’? They wanted mi and money, and the cooperation of chi ple. Nothing but christianity would bring out and develop the capabilities of the India He believed in the Prophecy. of the promise: millenium, and that it was about to dawn on we Indian race, and the whitem1n would learn to lay aside bis prejudices and take them by the hand as brothers. Another song was then given by Larooqua, and afew remerks by Dr. White, and the exercises closed with the «Indian's Funeral Ode,” by Red Feather and Larcoqua together Paresextation ro Lizvr. Prerce.—Companies A and B of the National Guard Battalion took oc- cesion last night to express their appreciation of the services of Lieut. (late serzeant) Pierce, of the ‘Seppers and Miners, as their drill master, by pre- senting to him a fine (2100) gold watch. The pre- sentation took piece at the Columbian Armory, where Company A, (Lieut. Lloyd commandin: Company B. (Capt P. H. King.) and Company C (Capt. McKim.) were drawn up in Hne—Captai Tait commanding the battulion—after baving pe! fortaed various evolutions with 2dmirable precis- ion. Capt. King then stepped forward, and in a handsome little address made the presentation— expressing bis gratification in performing so plene- ant aduty. Proceeding to express the sense of obligation felt bd Com, ies Aand B towards Pierce fer bis endeavors to perfect them in rt of which he was evidently master, Capt. said that the small memento t offered, though useful in its way, would never be needed by the recipient asa monitor to remind him wheu to draw bis sword for hiscountry. In conclusion. Captain King tendered, in bebalf of himself and comrades, ir warm congratulations to Lieat. Pierce upon hfs recent promotion. Lieutenant Pierce, who is evidently somethin; of an orator as well as a good soldier, res) ta a capital sensible little speech, in which be said it was a matter of pleasure to him to impart to otbers such little meni? knowledge as be | repre and going on to allude to incidents of is past military career in Mexico and elsewhere, he added, that while he should regret if the for- tanes of war sbould cai! bit to meet any portion of his fellow countrymen in arms yet he should be always ready to go where duty called. The watch contains the inscription: ‘Presented to Serg’tC HH. Pierce, U.S. A., by Companies A and 8, National Guard Battalion, March 27, 1961.” Following the presentation, the battalion, under command of Lieut. Pierce, proceeded to take passed through va treets, attracting much attention by the excellence of their evolutions.

Stephens, was making disturbance, when he was by Officer Ginnity. The young man was in a state of inebriety, and gave the officer some trouble bys arse eons = the furniture wagons in nity, an him from breaking the beads of the colored drivers, one of whom received a salvte over his head from a brickbat,which inflicted a pretty bad cut. As he dodged among the wagons and negroes he dropped from his garments a fine (lady's) lasting gaiter; and the officer, on securing him, found the other secreted under his shirt. He was taken before Justice Clark, who committed him for a further examination after hearing the statement of the officer and other witnesses. The gaiters were very fine custom made ones, and the fellow could give no rational account of how he became sessed of them. One of the gaiters was marked on the sole with the name Jno Edwards. Before Justice Donn —Ann Cavanagh, a-very good-looking girl of sixteen years, was arrested by one of the Auxiliary Guard and taken before Justice Donn, for profanity in the streets, yester- day. She comes from the vicinity of Fighting alley, Seventh Ward, and her profane language was directed to her venerable parents Her lun- guage to her motber and father was disgusting. even to officers who in years of service had become accustomed to profanity. She was sent to the workhouse for 9 days. W. J. Donnell, a rather rough-looking customer, entered the Fo pa wie store of J. P. Bartholow, and demanded lodging rooms. The epidaiead having none that were not stored with reapers, Es &c., could not accommodate him. He hen asked to be conducted through the establish- ment, to Inspect the stock. This the proprietor deelined to do, upon the ground that it wouldn't ay; and politely requested the stranger to with- draw; which he declined. The order was then given in a more positive manner, and the stranger became boisterous, and threatened to ‘‘ spot that house.” Policeman Carter came along at the [ge time, and taking the stranger before Jus- ice Donn, the fine of $1.91 was assessed upon ALEXANDRIA Arrairs.—From the Alexandria Gazette we glean the following: Capt.

We trust that the Union sentiments of the people of this city will not allow this lamentable state of things to continue. The run of fish in the Potomac, thus far, has been exceedingly moderate.

The law sel- dom reaches these thieves, because the owners cannot well identify their property after it has been plucked. A gentleman in the Second Ward had bis hen house robbed two nights ago of a number of hens of a valuable breed; the thief did not scruple to take sitting hens from their nests, and only left one venerable rooster. Last night a similar robbery was perpetrated in the same ward, the thief killing and bleeding the chickens right atthe owner’s door. Several other persons have been robbed, and the frequency of the thefts indi- cates it to be a regular business, in which thieves have embarked on an extensive scale Smart Orv Hoss!—Considerable amusement was afforded the market-goers this morsing by a horse attached to a butcher's wagon standing there. Old Roan had been supplied with a lot of corn for his breakfast, but be was greatly annoyed by the hogs which are allowed to run at large in the market-place. Old Roan was kept from his food by the job of nosing the hogs away from his corn, but finding this too laborious, the old fel- low look a different plan. A large black hog in- serted his nose into Roan’s corn heap, and was about leaying with a mouthful, when the old hose seized him by the ear and held fast. Piggy dropped the corn to squeal, which he did lustily, frightening away the herd around.
