VC&lhME XNUMBER 52. WILMINGTON, N. C.. SATURDAY MORNING; JULY 14, 1855. WHOLE NUMBER 1154 VM!SCELLANY. - FnXk the Mobile Register July 8. 1 LETTfeR FROM EUROPE. We are permitted to lay before our rea ders, the following interesting letter, writ ten our distingruisheJ towns-woman, how alijrti!j the tour of ; Europe, (nnd vhonameviU readily occur to every rne.) ttp& gentleinun ip. this citj : Fluimcf. Tuscany, May 20, 1853 In ur wjfrtcle rings amid the antiquities of Rome and ojong the peerl&ss Bay of Na j)les. Dr. '1 has often said how much jou would r jy the?e scenes. v Again this mon-inr, when I was describing a day in Pompeii nnd a nriri.f' tspuii Vesuvius to Powers, the sculptor, Dr L. retiutrke i, M wish ymifroM write that description to Mr. S. ; I know, it wbuld please him so much." Trusting his words may be pro phetic, I gladly send you the record from my journal, which I stylo A Day in Pompeii and a Night on Vesuvius. May 6, JS35 At early morning, we went iilongthe seashore to Pompeii. The. atmosphere "was filled with the blue light so peculiarlo Naples, which rt-ndered dis tant objerts incred bly near. Thus, Capri. Proceda and " Isehia, lhe triune isles of beautv. seemed almost at our feet. We passed ihrtush Portici and Resinn. the roof to buried Herculaneum, through Terre del Oreco and La Annunciata, all so near one to the other, as to appear quite a continued village, linked together by verdant vine yards. '-' From near Castalemare, ; the ancient Strabia, we walked through the olive grove to Pompeii. The long narrow streets are p veil with lava, and the deep track of the chariot wheels is still there, with the rust from the tire yet remaining. The houses arc a 1 built around a courtyard, in the cen tre of which is a fountain and little flower gardens. All the floors are beautiful Mo saics, and the walls arc painted in light colois; Upon this globing ground are the figures of nymphs and female dancers, in describably lovely in drawing, and radiant in color. The sleeping rooms were exceed ingly small and without windows, so the light must have been admitted from springs iifthe roof from the Atrium. . In the house of Sallust, there is a fresco of Diana and Acteon wonderfully expres sive. In another the death of Adonis. Venus is represented in all her luxuriant beauty, but grief veils, as it were, the full perfection of her charms. In her white arms she holds Adonis, while his eyes are fixed upon her with an expression of "love stronger than death." Cupid has fallen at his feet ;, his arrows are scattered, and his bow is broken." It t3 really one of the most pathetic pictures I ever beheld the hues and lints are so life-like. The fresco is in one of the recently uncovered houses. On ly in these the treasures of painting and statuary remain. All the first discoveries were taken to the Museum at Naples. Together, thev constitute multitudes of val- imblft nbifr.ts. revealing the "inner life oi the Pompeiians, who have been a prosper ous and happy people. We visited "the Forum and the Temples. The Theatre is so perfect that a drama might even now be acted therein. We went to the Amphitheatre where the grape vines twine around the trees and cast off Jong branches, binding ibem together, by rich green garlands. The Amphitheatre is an immense structure, and in wonderful preservation. As I stood in the Temple of Isia and looked pp at Vesuvius, which .seerus to rise at the end of. every street, sad i.id mournful feeling possessed me, increa sed by the silence the intense silence un broken by the sound of footstep or'the song of birds. We went down into the cellars of Dromede3 Villa, and saw the Amphora', wherein the ashes have displaced the rich Falernian- Near the doorway is the im pression of a female form of rounded pro portions. Upon ; the skeleton arm was found a gold bracelet "with the name 'Julia' engraved upon it. All the day we passed amid the roofless houses, the ruined temples of a dead religion, and in the silent streets. We dined without the walls . and beyond the f streets of Toombs" then returned to ".Resinn. and thence descended the inoun- '.'Jain. It was a lovely evening, and tuous 'wnds were hastening up. An eruption of Vesuvms is quite a carnival time to the Neopoiitans. Even the King left the close retirement of bis palace at Caserto (twen ty miles from Naples) and followed the ex ample of bis subjects in ascending the fie ry Mountain. His carriage was encircled by a multitude of guards, and the soldiers lined the pathway as he passed along. The first night 1 saw 'the eruption there was only one crater opened, but now eight were pouring out , streams of lava which gathered to a great river and fell over the precipice, a cataract of liquidfire, resembling in its grandeur our own Niagara. Slowly, majestically it flowed down the gorge. It was only when sdme obstacle impeded its progress that the great waves would rise ip and dart across the rocky barrier, with a wild, fierce " sound, which mingled not with any other of earth or air. We pass- ed hours walking" near be craters then e seated ourselves on the cliff overhanging the cataract of lava, and then supped by ihe red blaze, of the volcano. ' Was' not that a glorious day to remember? .'We di ned in Pompeii, the Destroyed and supped upon Vesuvius the Destroyer.. . Dr. L. says I must not fail to tell you of our visit to Pozzuolia, where St- Paul landed-after his shipwreck at Malta. We stood j upon the very spot his sacred feet first pres- sec!. In the wonderful: temple of Jupiter! Serafi3, Dr. L- obtained 4 fine piece of mar- j ble, from which he has had mcde for you ! . a papet weight From Pazzuolia we drew s-to Baia. -which vou remember was the ' grand Rendezvous of the Roman fleet m the days of the Empire. - Along the shore are many ancient, ruins and the temples' of .Mercury and Venus. We Jrar.k of the Felernian, so loved in Horace, on the Mon ti Nuovo' where grow the grapes from which it is made.. . We saw the lake of Aoernns, and the cave of the Cumean Sy bil. We returned to Rome by laud from Naples, traveling slowlj, and visiting all the points of. historical and poetical inter est. jWc spent an hour at the tomb of Cic ero, and one day at the Villa Cicerone," built upon the foundations of his country seat, Molo de Gaeta . In the Pontine mar shes we saw the Fero Appia, where St. Paul met his friends from Rome. I coalil give you volumes of our wanderings but time and space forbid me When we meet again I will describe the scenes of char.. -ing interest, through which we have pass ed. I was enraptured with Rome. It was the realization, of the dreams of my youth to wander through the Coliseum to stand within the Forum and Capitol to look 1 upon the Palaces of the Caesars upon the triumphal Arc he and the rutne.l Temples It was as though I d iw etiucu;.! bef rt trie t drama 1 had ofierr reaH wiSi. delight. , Naples is beautiful beyo-.d all othr-r ci ties of earth. Florence is lovely with rich treasures of Painting and Sculpture and its environs are more exquisite than 'the visions of the enThusiat." I like the Italians ihey are kind and genial. I have met with friends cordial and excellent, who have never permitted me to feel that I was a stranger ; t Believe m, &c. O W. L. IXDIAN VISITERS TO WASHINGTON. Washington, July 10. At an early hour yesterday morning the office of Indian Af f tirs was surrounded by a crowd of persons, in the midst of whom were several highly ornamented, yet almost nude Indians who had just arrived in this city by the cars from the West. They proved to be a par ty of four men, a lad of about seventeen, professing to be an interpreter, a woman, and,. t little girl about four or five years old. I They were promptly admitted into the reception room of the office, and on the ar rival of Acting Commissioner .Mix they presented themselves before him, and claim ed to be a delegation from their tribe; but, owing to. the very 'imperfect knowledge which Ben. Losson, i heir. interpreter, pos sessed of the English language, it was dif ficult to ascertain the precise objects of their visit. " ' " " ' . Wadengoh, who apper-red to be the lead er, said he wished that his Great Father would invest him with the dignity of great or principal chief of the tribe, and givehim a raili'ary coat with epaulets, a horse, bri dle, spurs, and a pair of saddlebags, as well as money, alleging as a reason tLat sach things had been done for the Sacs and Fox es when they visited their Great Father at Washington. He said : "If you will give me mo .ey, or other things, 1 will take them home." He was poor; the Kaws were all poor, and wanted money. , In fact "mon ey" was the burden of his song. He then presented the Acting Commissioner with a head-dress of feathers, which he desired to have hung up in the office and exhibited to those who desired to see it. Egoshabbee then addressed the Acting Commissioner, urging that the request of his leader might be granted, and expatia ting on the poverty of his tribe and their want of money. Adekanay addiessed the Acting Com missioner to the same effect, and was fol lowed by. Theagemony, who desired that his lea der's request might be. granted, and that their Great Father would give him "big money, heap," to carry home. Acting Commissioner Mix then asked them upon what authority they came to the city? What sort of paper they had brought with him ? Wadengoh said the paper they got from their agent they lost in the river while on board of the steamboat; that it was lost, gone in the water. It was' he said, a good paper, and it wanted the Commissioner to make him a chief. He got a paper from Mr. Choteau (their trader) also, which was lost at the same time. That was also, a good paper. , - The Acting Commissioner said, as their Great Father did not send for them, they should not. have come. He regretted their presence here without the authority of the Department or the permission of their agt-nt. As to the chief-making, their Great Father would leave that to the tribe. The Kaws were alone auhoriz ed to confer that title upon such members of the tribe as they mijrht prefer. When they have selected the man of their choice as chief, their Great Father would then give bim the appropriate medals and re cognise him as the choice of his people. If Wadengoh, by his behavior and conduct, shall merit the favor nnd confidence of his people, and show by his conduct that he is deserving, then his Great Father will re cognise his position. ; He then desired to know from the interpreter if they had no other object in visiting Washington than to make Wadengoh their chief? . J They bad none but that and the others already expressed. 7 . The Acting Commissioner then asked them when they intended to go home? f Interpreter. Whenever, our father says so. J Acting Commissioner. What is the name of your agent - j Tbe interpreter, after asking the delega tes, said they did not know, except that he was called ."Major ;u wa3 a small man, and had light hair. (This describes Agent Clarke.) W'U'':;:.: v Acting Commissioner again asked what they wanted. Did they not come on other business besides that of making a chief ? 1 J. Wadengoh I want an epaulet and a coat; a big coat and epaulets 1' The Kaws have too many head chiefs, and 1 want to be made the principal chief of the tribe. ' I came to see you all, and I want to be paid for. :U I want to see all the chiefs in ..this city: If you have any more I want to see them." I want a horse and saddlc-bag3, and when I go home I want to be called .a chief. - ' ' " ' ...." '.'':' " Egoshabbee. .' We want .to have a chief made of that man, pointing to Wadengoh. Ve want' hhn to look -like the soldiers.- We wanthim to have a hat and epauletts like the men .we tr.ct to-t!ay Aliasing to an' association which li'id recently passed. We know, father, whatever you say you will make good. Acting Commissioner. I desire you to go to your boarding-house and stay there until to-morrow, when 1 will again see you. I will give you a paper to your father, the agent, to take home with you, and your Great Father will pay your expenses this time, but you must not come again with out being eent for. Your Great Father has sent you one of his white brethren as agent at Council Grove, whose duty it is to watch over your interests and to. provide for your wants, and you should ahvaj'S consult hiin before taking any step like that of coming to this city. L$y communi cating your wishes through hiin it will answer every purpose, and save you the trouble of attending here in person. 'I'h p i r' v thr-n look thrr departure, p-. parently well pleased, though soiiiewhat dis-ippointed hi the result of their inter view. The Kaws are located afar off on the Plains, ami though not very ferocious and sanguinary, are. yet exceedingly trouble some because of thieving propensities. Emigrants to Santa Fe often suffer the loss of animals and other efiVcU through their depredations ; they, indeed, claim a right to h'vy such contributions in coir.pens iti- ii for the privilege of passing through their country. This party state that they sold a horse for .-ixty dollars to enabT them to travel to Was! ington, but lost the money with their papers in the river. The presumption therefore is that thej begged their way from Missouri to -this ciy. They state thai their journey occupied ten day They are quite a comely looking people and pretty shrewd. Their boy interpreter is by no means very sensible, but somewhat gar rulous, and has no doubt so magnified his office as t attain a degree of influence over them .
