According to tire Tfport for 1H55 of the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, the Indian
population of the United States, exclusive
of a few in several of the States who have
lost their tribal character, or amalgamated
' with tho whites or blacks, may be estimated
at from 320,000 to 350,000 souls. The
tribes are ninety-nine in number. In 1854,
the payments of money by tho Government
to the various tribes amounted to $540,
357,38. During the last ten years, cxpen-
- ditures have been made by certain socie
ties for the educational and religious ad-
vancemunts of the Indians, as follows : By
the American Board of Commissioners of
Foreign Missions Boston, $102,074,; by
' the Board of Foreign Missions of the Pres-
hyterian Church, New York, 8327,105,53;
by the Missionary Society of the Methodist
'.Episcopal Church, New York, $107,230;
, by the American Indian Mission Association,
Louisville, 1 104,413 15; by the Catholic
Mission, St. Louis, 87,310 05. During
ib same period the Methodist Episcopal
Church South hat expended for the same
purposes about 1288,000. The total out-
. lay for the cbristianization and civilization
of the Indians, within the last ten years,
mounts to more than 82,150,000.

A letter from Ft. Pierre, Nebraska Terri
lory, gave the particulars of a horrible af
fair which occarred during the past winter
..between that Fort and Sioux City. In Do-
cember, three soldiers, named Rigart, Wick
er and Cornell, deserted and started down
the river. On their way they overtook four
parsons, and they all proceeded in company.
. The party were overtaken by heavy snows,
;. accompanied by intense cold, which con
tinued thirty or forty days. During this
- time their provisions gave out, and for six
''days they wero without a particle of food.
. Cornell died of hungerand cold, as did three
of tho civilians, and tho remainder were
: compelled to subsist on the dead bodies of
their companions, until tbey were fortunate.

'On the 30lh of October, 1782,4,000 English

that something like a clone alliance, or rather inti

til eat alarm prevails both in England and France
lest tht return of the allied armies from the Crimea
should import some Asiatic plagues. The French
government have taken precautions to guard
against such contingencies, by maligning camps to
the troops in desert localities. Half Paris has been
