WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, 126 About noon to-day an oid gentleman, accompanied preity little girls, aged respectively about tive even years, called at the White House and asked ew with the President, The aftection- layed by the old gentleman tor his Hitle companions might well have led any one to sup- pose that he was their grandfather or other near relative.

Colonel Leavenworth, the agent of our govern- ment at the time in that region, soon heard of tae outrage that had beea committed and commenced proceedings to obtain the release of the captives. Our story, however, must be confined to the two lit- tle girls referred to above. Colone! Leavenworth happen ed to meet the Kiowa chieftain, Para-ga-soit, and abruptly cavechized bim relative to the murder of the whites in Denton county and the abduction of children. “Why did you kill the white man and his wife and pappoose, Who were travelling along the road in Denton, and carry away their two Little ghli- ren?” said Leavenworth to tue chieftaia, in Indian dialect. At this Para-ga-solt heid down his head and, tura- ing to & squaw that was with him, satd to ber:— “How does the Gray Eagle (the Inaian name given to Colonel Leavenworth) know this”? Colonel Leavenworth, who understood the tongue perfectly, on hearing this remark of the chieftain, knew that Para-ga-sott was the leader of the band that had committed the outrage and rebuked him severely for haviug been concerned in it. The In- dian néld dowa his head remorsefully and remained silént. Colonel Leavenworth asked the chieftain what he had cone with the two little cnildren, and heard that they were in the custody of some of the squaws of the tribe, The Colonel then demanded thelr release, at tho samo time offering to pay % handsome ransom, though our government did hot allow any remuneration to be paid for gc hela by the Indians. Colonel Leavenworth Knew well that there would be no hope of ever obtaining their release otherwise, and, that had he demanded the: surrender on auy other terms, the Indians would have slaughtered the children rather than give them up. The Indian chief promised to release the little gurls and departed, One day white Colonel Leavenworth was absent from Dis agency, sone twenty miles away, some of the Indians brought to his secrevary tho two little and released them, As the children were too ig for a man to take care of, the secretary sent toafriendiy squaw, called Cheyenne Jenny, irections to watch over them in the moet at- er. They bad not been long under tae yaw when the Indians came again and carried the children off. Colonel Leavenworth, on returning to tus agency and hearing of this act, was both grieved and incetiaed, but felt more than ever desirous of releastag the poor iittle orphan children, mado & gecond effort, therefore, and was re- warded with success. Three of the indian “fs brougnt the children to him and recvived rich rewards for thelr conduct. Un- fortunately, however, Leavenworth found bimseit ‘mn the same embarrassing fix as his secretary. He was unable to take proper care of the giria, and again were they turned over to Cheyenne Jenny for nursing. All went well for a while, and the Color hoped that his wards would be safely cared for un such time as he could send them into some civiliz place Woere thelr proper training would be atteuded io. But one day Cheyenne Jenny came running to the agency, with tears in her eves and mwauing vit- It was the same story over again. ‘Ine In- had visited her piace and run off with children once more, The poor squaw, who had vecome deeply attached to the giris, seemed heart broxen, and Colonel Leavenworth himself Was scarcely less aifected. Aiter all bis exertions it Was too vad to have the little orphans, who had beon twice released, again captives, In this strait friendly Indian chief volunteered his assistance. He told Leavenworth not to lament, for he (the chief) would see (hat the children should be given up for good. This chief started off in pursuit, and in the meantime Colonel Leavenworth had sent mea- sengets for milit support, butia vain, On flimsy reiexts the military authorities of the distri refased to give aid, and after a while Colonel Lea- venworlh found himnsell alone and surroonded by nearly 15,000 Indians, some of whom were friendly to him. He knew not what an hour would bring forth, and considered that tt was just about as likely he bimself would be siaugitered as that the ciil- dren woula be brought back and allowed to depart with lim in satety. In this dreadful situation be motutained the most perfect composure, showing not the iehss sigh of fear, though internalty anticipating the most direiul resulta, After wating for two days in this dreadful state Of suspense, the sounds of an ap- proacning band of Indians were heard, and soon the band jtserf came in view, led by three cnieftains, two of whom carried with them tie captive chidren, Not a word was spoken.

WasHiNaron, Nov. 19, 1869. Lewis Dent, formerly of California and now of un- reconstructed Mississippl, becomes an object of some interest at the present ume, for two reasons, first, he is the brother-in-law of President Grant, and sec- ond, he is the conservative candidate for Governor of Mississippi, In the latter capacity he has at- tracted unusual attention on account of the fact that Grant, with a rigid regard to his ideas of public duty, akin to that displayed by Brutus of old, hag sacri- ficed private and family wishes for the sake of principle, President Grant’s publie expression in favor of the ciection of Alcorn as Governor of Mis- sisissippi in preference to Dent, his own brother-in- Jaw, Las become @ matter of common notoriety. Not only has the President written privately to Judge Dent, regretting the candidacy of the latter, but he has also taken occasion to give public expres- sion to his opinion in the form of an authorized pub- lushed conversation, wherein he unqualifedly tn- dorsed the platform and standard bearers of the radical party in Mississippi. Some weeks ago I telegraphed you the substance of that conversa- tion, which must still be fresn in the recollection of your readers. Judge Dent is now here for the pnrpose of attend- ing to some private law business, having come from Mississippi a few @ays ago, where he was engaged in @ spirited Joint oratorical trial with his opponent, Alcorn. ‘he Judge is not much like his senior brother, Frederick T., of warlike antecedents, either in personal appearance or manner. Fred is of ordinary stature and prone to put on airs. Lewis is quite small, but, untike most little men, he is modest and unassuming. There is very little vanity about Lewis; he is very practical, a good lawyer, with @ iine practice, and very much esteemed in the social circle. The Judge dropped in on your correspondent tho other day and had a talk, some portion of which may be interesting to your readers. DENT ANTICIPATES TWENTY THOUSAND MAJORITY.

THE TREASURY—TAE MISTAKE, To THE Epitor or THe HERaLp:— We are very much encouraged by the tone and, in some cases, decided opinions of the daily press upon the oft repeated cry of on to speclo payments. An evening paper has headed an article, “How Values are Efiected by the Decline im Gold,” and this ar- ticle shows plamly that the price of farin preduce and gold rise and fall together. This is a very en- couraging change. A moraing paper, speaking of a project for establishing a new bank, says:—‘Its connection with the Southern States and the foreign exchange market can be used to produce arevolu- tion in our foreign exchanges which will enure greatly to the advantage of the Southern States and all American interests, therevy emaucipating our money market from the coutrol of the Bauk of Eng- land dad ioreign bankers.” Now, tiis is not very clear a8 & Conciusion from any of the promises tuld down by the writer, nor does he show how the Bank of Bugiandand the foreign bankers can control our market. There 1s but one way by which they do.

JONATHAN OLDGUCK, EMIGUATION FROM LIVERPOOL, On November 1 the emigration officials at Liver- pool issued their montnly returns, from whieh it appears that durimg the month of October the num- ber of Ships, ulder the act, thas salled from the Mersey Was 23 siips, with 944 Cabin and 10,746 atcer- age passengers, making @ total of 11,670; of which numoer 5,963 Were Knglish, 642 Scotch, 3,096 trish and 3,089 other countries.
