Haworth, one of the Quaker agents for the Indian territo- ry, has written a letter to Friend Enoch Hoag, superintendent of Indian affairs at wrence, Kansas, in which he says that during last winter the Indians of his agency “ook, suffered only for flour and sugar, Which was entirely owing to the freight contractor failing to do his duty in forwarding these supplies from Cad wh they were stored in abundane He says that beef has been given them in excess of regular rations, such a course being essary to prevent actual suffering. Agent Haworth closes by ying that he is assared that the issues during the present year com- pare favorably with those of previous years, and that notwithstandin# the absene® of a part of the ration in Kind, and a great deal of talk to the Indians calculated to unsett them and cause 2 feeling of dissatisfaction ariseamong them, he feels warranted in saying that they have manifested a feeling of appreciation of the cireumstances, and complained much less than white people would have done under more favorable cir- cumstances, TER storm IRLE STORM IN FRANCE.—A violent assel over Paris Wednesday.

Thre: boats, in charge of the first and second offi- cers and boatswain, succeeded in getting away from the ship, only one of which, that in charge of the boatswain, has thus far been heard from. The latter was picked up on the oth instant bs the steamer State of Georgia, at New York yesterday. The rescued party consisted of ihe boaiswain, four seamen, three lady passengers and the stewardess, "They suffered severely, having been adrift in the ice for four days, and were completely exhausted when taken on board the State of Georgia. As the wreck oceurred near the track of the ocean steamers. there is a probability that the other two boats may have been picked up. The wreck was one which no human foresight coulkt pre- vent, and no blame can possibly attach to the unfortunate commander, who perished with his shi SHERIDAN’S WEDDING JouRNEY.—The wedding journey of uhe Lieutenant General and his wife was entirely unlike the casto- mary expedition which newly-wedded people make. fler remaining awhile at the res dence of General Rucker, they left the house, attended by Colonel and Mrs. Mike F.
