notice ot toe press.

As Judge Reagan occupies a prominent po
sition uriurs we country ana is aamwea oy
all who know him to be a man of honesty and
latent tne following brief nonce or his early
hisiory may not be uninteresting to bis numer
ous admirers.
Mr. Reagan came to Texas when quite a
youth and settled eventually at ralestine An
lerson county. He was poor uneducated and
destitute of Ihe common necessaries of life.
He had no friends nor relations to assist or ad
vise him. Although he was unlearned.te was
remarkably fond of books and from his devot
ing much time to reading be acquired the repu
taiion amongst casual observers of being rath'
er indolent and unpromising.
He studied surveying and was employed by
a company to assist in that laborious business.
He took with him some low books and whilsi
surveying studied hy the camp fires. He wm
at length admitted to the bar and was ridicul
I'd by the would be knowing ones for attempt
ing to periorm tne amies of a profession oil
which it was supposed a poor laboring young
man must be almost totally ignorant.
About this time a favorable opportunity oc
furred to test the skill and knowladge of young
Reagan a company ol laud speculators in
Eastern Texas had promised to give to settlers
upon their lands small homesteads upon con
dition they should become settlers and make
certsin specified improvements. These settlers
having complied with the conditions applied for
lilies to their lands and were refused. They
were told that they should have the stipulated
amount ol land but not where they had set-;
tied and made theftiielves homes. Of course
the settlers were greatly distressed at the
prospect of losing their labor and being turned
destitute out of doors. " !
Mr. Retgnn about this time visited these
poor settlers with whom he sympathized and
whose legal rights he undertook to defend.
t he suits were finally disposed of in the su
preme Court at Austin. Able lawyers were
employed by the company and it was suppos
ed that the inexperienced attorney of settlers
would stand but a slim chance of success in an
encounter with men of science experience and
acknowledged ability. But great was the as
tonishment of those who tvitnesssed th man
agement and listened to the eloquence of the

Pablio Document
Dkpartment of ths Interior
Office Indian Affairs
January 7th 1858.
Sm : I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt bv reference from you of a letter dated
the 4th of November last from Messrs. Will-
inn. Farmer Benjamin and William Sanders'
H. Hazard and others relative to depreda
tions alleged to have been committed "by the
Indians residing upon the brazos JKeserve ac
companied by the affidavits of certain persons
as to the thetts to which 1 would reply :
The only lurisdiction with which his office
is rested in depredation claims is derived from
the Intercourse Act of June 30 1S34; but that!
act having never been extended over the State
ot Texas there is no power consequently
here to eive relief in the premises
Without commenting upon the insufficiency
of the evidence adduced to sustain the charges
against any particular Indian or set of Indians
or of the parties failing to eatablish the value
of the nrnnertv ost. I wi I merely state me re
quirements ot the 17the Section of said Act!
wherever this office can interpose to show in
what mode claimants should proceed.
It must first be shown that the Indian com
mitting the wrono; must belong to a tribe in
amity with the United States ; if committed
in the Indian country the party suffering muot
show that he was lawfully there or the Indian
must pas from the Indian country into a State
or Territory and commit the injury. 1 hen
the citizen himself or bis attorney or repre
sentative mast make application to the proper
superintendent or atrent who upon being lur
mshed with the necessary documents and
proofs shall make application to the tribe fori
satisfaction and if the tribe shall neglect or re
fuse to make satisfaction in a reasonable time
not exceed ins; twelve months it shall be the
duty of such superintendent or agent to make
return of his doings to the commissioner oil
Indian Affairs that such lurtner steps may oe
taken as snail oe proper in tne ouunuu m mc
President to obtain satisfaction for the injury
and in the mean time in respect to ina proper
ty stolen or destroyed the United States guar
antee to the party an eventual tnacmniuMiw.
Yet it is provided that sucn injurea party an
representative or attorney shall in no way at-
tempt to seek private satisfaction or revenge.
mnA in thnt nit most make Oath.
Whereupon if the claim is admitted by the
Indians to be just or shall be considered by ihe
rVnonmffnt fiillv nroven. compensation is
to be made oot of the annuities coming to the
trih. or if thew have -none then out ol tne
Treasury; Congress first making an appropria
lion to meet it.

States District Attorney for the District of Co-
lumbia Mr. Philip Barton Key.
In the St. Louis Republican ol the 29 ih
ult. we find the following particulars of lot
unhappy atlairi
The Washington correspondent or tne lew
York Times nvea the followinir account of the
domestic difficulties or Mr. Sickles which led
tu (be killing of Key on Friday. Mr. Sictles
received an anonymous teller slating wi.h pre-
c isldri so minute as to make suspicion impera-
tive that Mr. Key had rented a house on Fif-
teenth street above K street from a negro wo-
man and that he was in the habit of meetine
Mrs. Sickles there two or three timet a week
or ofiener The person and dress of Mrs
Sickles wst accurately described and the ma
il time specified. Accompanied by a friend
Mr. Sickles went to the house and found ev
ery statement of the anonymous writer combo-
rated. Mr. Key had taken the house and he
had constantly met there a lady resembling
very closelv in description Mrs. Sickles. Mr.
Sickles still clung to ihe hope that the person
who had stooped to the baseness of making
such charges under the veil ot secrecy might
have thoroughly deceived hun and mat turs
Sickles was not the lady in question. He ac-

from the window of a house just opposite.
On Saturday no meeting took place and the
woman in charge seems to have stated that
none had occurred since Wednesday. On
Saturday . evening Mr. Sickles resolved no
longer to play the spy upon his honor deter-
mined to confront his wife directly with his
susoicions. At first Mrs. Sickles strongly de
nied her guilt but her husband asking tier
whether on Wednesday previous she had not
entered the house on the 15th in a certain par
ticular dress and concealed bv a hood she
cried out : "I am betrayed and lost" and

A despatch of the 27lh from .Washington
to the Kichmond papers gives the details of the
catastrophe On that day which our own des
patches have briefly alluded to :
Mr. Sickles about 2 o'clock this atternoon.i
discovered Mr. K?y making signals from or
near Lafayette Squ.lre when he (Sickles) left
his house immediately which is nearly in front
of the Executive mansion. He met Mr. Key
who was conversing with Mr. Butterworth off
New York and charged him (Key) with hav
ing dishonored hi in and destroyed-iis domes
tic peace. He immediately shot ey witn a
revolver one ot the balls entering nis leu siae
and lodging under the skin on the opposite
side of the body; another shot took effect in
the richt thitrh near the lemoral artery.
As Mr. Key was tailing he implored Mckies
not to kill him when a third shot was bred
which took effect in the right side glar.cing
from the body from which death ensued in a
few moments.
The body was taken to the National Clul
House and a Coroner's iury snmmoned. In
their verdict they merely stated that his death
was from the effect of pistol shots hred by
Sickles. - "
After this act Was a eomplished Sickles
went to the residence of the Attorney Oenera.
who advised him to deliver bimtetf into the
hnadmal th wnicn ne euosequrnuj
did and was conreyed to jail far further ex-
mination to-morrow. .
Henry Evans the Negro Preacher.
In the course of bis autobiography Bishop
Caners refers to some of those remarkable
characters who may be found in many parts ofj
the South to shame our abolition brethren and
who are denominated "black preachers."
The account of Henry bvans of North taro
ina. exhibits one of these :
Henry Evans was confessedly the father of
he Methodist Church white and black in'
Favrtteville. and the best preacher of bis
time in that quarter.'and was so remarkable as
to have become the greatest curiosity of the
town; insomuch that distinguished visitors
hardly felt that they might pass a Sunday in
Favetteville without hearing him preach
Uvans was irom Virginia; a snoemaKer oy
trade and. I think was born free. He be
came a Christian and a Methodist quite young
and licensed to preach in Virginia. WM'
