In Warn, wfca r le Indians. V . ; Wc have announced the escapdynd return of Mrs Jane Wilson, of Texas, to Santa Fe, '.who V "x naa been taken captive Jv. the Caraancbe In dians, and subjected to the most extraordinary cruelties. The affair has very justly excited the rreatest indignation hi Ncw-Mexico.asrainst the Indians. - ' , ' " From Mrs Wilson's narrative, it appears that she is bat 17 -years of age. -l A boat a year ago she was married to a young farmer in Texas,, and in April they joined a party-' of: fifty-two emigrants, . 1ooud for Califoroia. They wgre attacKeu uv inUianaf and the up the ilan of going to California, and set out on their return to lexas in July. In August Mr Wilson and his father fell into the hands of Indians and were murdered. Mrs W. returned j to El Paso, and again in September started for lexas, with her three brothers-in-law and a small party. When within three days journey of Phantom Hill, an American military post, the" were attacked by Cainauches, while some of their men were off in pursuit of some of their horses that had been stolen. A Mexican, who was with Mrs Wilson, was brutally murdered and scalped before her eyes, and she and her two brothers in-law, lads of 12 and 10 years, were seized, bound, and carried off, with the entire property of the party. lhe Indians, with their captives, proceeded in a northwest direction, each being appropriat ed as the property of oue or other of the chiefs. lhey were stripped of nearly all their clothing, aud otherwise brutally treated. Mrs Wilson, although expecting soon to become a mother, was subjected to every conceivable cruelty and indignity; beaten and bruised; exposed to fatigues of all kinds; her flesh lacerated by lariats and whips, or by the loads of wood she was oblighed to carry on her bare back; com pelled to do the work of men, or punished for her inability by being stoned, knocked down and trampled on; almost entirely deprived of food and all this lasted for twenty five days. At this time, she was sent in advance in the moruinsr as usual, when she determined to attempt an escape, which she succeeded in accomplishing by securing herself in some bushes till the Iu dians had passed. For twelve days she wandered through this Indian country, subsisting upon berries, when she fortunately fell in with some New Mexican traders, who furnished her with some men's clothing and a blanket. In consequence of their meeting with a Camanche, they, had to leave her behind, and she narrowly escaped a secoud capture. But, by the subsequent aid of one of the traders, a Pueblo Indian, she was enabled, after hiding herself for eight davs, to escape AJL t he qxpirati.au tbiOinifi sligwas. Cgpuetl dv tne traders, furnished with a horse, and brought to the town of Pecos, New Mexico, where Major Carlton and others, of the army, took care of her, and enabled her to proceed to Santa Fe. This is but an outline of a terrible story, the counterpart of which, in all except the escape, are said to be frequent. A letter from Santa Fe says that the white captives among the Camanchcs are as numerous as the Indians themselves. The same letter mentions the es cape of a young Mexican woman, who returns, after a year's terrible capitivity, expecting to become the mother of an infant whose father is a wild Indian. The Camanchcs practice cruel ty in its utmost refinement towards their caj tives. Children are trained to be more savage than thev are themselves, and women are sub jected to outrages too horrible to be mentioned. The Santa Fc Gazette says: "The two brothers of Mrs Wilson are still in captivity, and unless soon reclaimed will imbibe a taste for the wild life of the Indian and be forever lost. There are many hundreds, and we mav venture to say thousands of captives among the Indians of New Mexico, principally women and children: the former are forced to becomes the slaves of the men, and the latter are trained for warriors." When Gov. Mcrriwether came out, he was fortunate enough to rescue two Mexican girls from the Caiuanches one 16 aud the other 18 years of age. They had been captured near Chihuahua, one three years and the other ten months before. They were sent to the Gover nor ot tnat .state, who acxnowirdcrcu the con duct of the Governor of New Mexico in tery handsome terms. They said there were a large number of Mexi can women in captivity, and they saw one American woman with a small child: that an Indian one day, when they were traveling on horseback, took the child from its mother, threw it up iuto the air, and as it came down caught it on his sjear, and that, others rode np at full gallop, took it on their spears, and so passed it around among the party. The London Times. M. Texier in a book on England, speaking of the London Times, states that one of the staff of that journal, who "was devoted to the study of sewerage," enjoy ed a yearly income of XooO, while dawdling through the cities of the continent on a tour of inspection, during two years, but in all that time he did not write a single word for the paper. One day the question of dust heaps and salubrity in general came before the House of Commons, when he at once laid pen to paper, aid in a series of twenty powerful lead ers so simplified the science of the matter that at once the public and their representatives were forced, as it were into the proper course. A Brisk Place. There is a good anecdote told of the little town of Portland, Indiana : While a certain stcamljoat was about "putt in" out" from there, not long since, for New Orleans, the mate, an old loatnian, turned to some passengers, and remarked : "This little town, gentlemen, looks dull, but I assure you, it is perhaps a mighty brisk place. About fifteen years ago, as I was going down with a flat-boat "to New Orleans, we stopped here to procure some provisions. I went up into the town, and seeiug a coat hanging out of a shop door, just took it. The owner came after me caught me took me before a magis trate I was tried convicted took thirty nine lashes and was hack to the boat in fifteen mine utesl I tell you, gentlemen, a mighty brisk little place is that same Portland."

"Done," said the Doctor, "it's a wager." "Well, commence guessing," said Capt. S. "K, a, double, t." "No." "Ka, a, t, e." "No; try again." "C, a, double t, e." "No; you've missed it again." "Well", then," returned the Doctor, "C, a, double t." "No, that's not the way; try again it's your last guess." "0, a, g, h, t." "No, that's not the way, you've lost the wager." "Well, said the Doctor, with much petulance of manner, "how does he spell it?" "Why, he spells it c, a, t," replied S., with the utmost gravity, amid the roars of the mess. Almost choking with rage the Doctor sprang to his feet, exclaiming: "Captain S., I am too old a mau to be trifled with in this manner." Every Han has "A Call." Each man has his own vocation. The talent is the call. There is one direction in wh'ch all space is opened to him. He has faculties silent ly inviting him thitherto endless exertion. He is like a ship in a river ; he runs against ob structions on every side but one; on that side all obstruction is taken away, and he sweeps serenely over a deepening channel into an infi nite sea. Hits taleut and this call depend on his organization, or the mode in which the general soul incarnates itself in him. He incliucs to do something which is easy to him, and good when it is done, bnt which uo other man can do. He has no rival. For the more truly he consults his own powers, the more difference will his work exhibit from the work of any other. His ambition is exactly proportioned to his powers. The height of the pinnacle is determined by the beaMh ot the base. Kwry mau has this. caJLof . the power to do somewhat unique, and no nnm has any other call. The pretence that he has another call, a summons by name and personal election and outward ''signs that mark him ex traordinary, and not in the roll of common men," is fanaticism, and betrays obtuseness to perceive that there is one mind in all the individuals, and uo respect of persons therein. Kmerst.n. Style.- How differently men handle contro versial matters. There's Johnson, with his two handed sword striking with the edge, while he pierces with the point, and stuns you with the hilt, hitting right and left with antithesis, and wielding the ponderous weapon as easily as you could a flail. Then there's Burke, with his glittering rapier, all rhetorical rule and polish according to school passado, mcntato, staccato one, two, three the third in your bosom. Then comes Macaulay, who runs in under your guard, and stabs you to the heart with the hea vy dagger of a short epigrammatic sentence ; Jeffrey, who first kills, then scalps; and Car- lyle, who advances armed with au autique storm axe, with which he mashes his foes as you would drugs in a pestle and mortar. The Face ok Louis Napoleon. That face in appearance so motionless and insensible, is but the mask of the man within', ardent and powerful. Those eyes are dull, but as profound as the thought in which they dive, and which rises at times iu their orbits as the flame rises from the hearth whence it derives its fire. That brow is gloomy as ate, but expansive as creative genius. Those lips are colorless, but full of expression: delicately turned sever ed; scarcely sufficiently parting, and open just to allow the curt and precise execssionofa will emanating from deep reflection, and niexorably resolved. That voice is indolent and drawling, but self-reliant, and the indifference which shows itself is I ut the excess of that confidence. Courage concealed by timidity resolution dis guised by gentleness in flexibility toftcnod by mildness- policy hidden by good nature life under marble fire under ashes; in a word, a something partaking of Augustus and of Titus, but with the face of Werther that type ot Gerinau sentimentality. Such docs Loais Na poleon Bonaparte appear. A Western Hand. A correspondent tells a good story of a Western steamboat Captain who hired, off-hand, a shiftless fellow at oue or the ports on the river, to go as a hand on board lone of his boats to New Orleans, "forty dol lars and found;" giving him in advance five dol lars to supply an urgeut present necessity. The new hand was to be on board in the morning, before "the first chickens crowed;" but never made his appearance. Long after, the captain discovered him at a wooding utation, jumped ashore, collared the dishonest hand, and asked him the reason why he had uot kept his engagement. ." What were the terms?" asked the fellow with the utmost coolness and indifference. " Forty dollars a month, and found," replied the captain, "you know the terms well enough. " "Very well," replied the rescusant. " did vou find me?" That was a power. The captain hadn't found him until now, although he had made diligent search. Burning of Anote Steamer Fifty Lire Lost- The Gerard East Alabamian learns that tli Steamer America was burned on Alabama River, oil the 29th Jaunary, and fifty lives were lost.
