Contested Election.
Wo understand that Mr. Conner, the Whig Senator elect from the counties of Hamilton and Coone, has received notico that his claim to a seat in tho Senate will be contested, on tho ground of illegal proceedings in the election ia one of the townships of Bo-ne county. Tho alledged illegality consists in the fact that the election was not held at th usutd place of voting, and that the change was made without authority of law. Yesterday was the day for taking depositions, &cc. Tho facts in regard to the matter, as wo have them from good authority, are about these. The man at whose house the election has usually been
held, becamo dissatisfied, and refused to allow it there any longer. At tho last April election tho question of removing the poll was submitted to a voto of tho people of tho township, and they deci

"The ii.hM.it , nts of the isla(1 ( Amsas) are very much annoyed by the t aman. he and Ia,.r. ! ndians.

each of their Uicks; they throw one leg ever their horse by which they support the rest of their bo.lv on his aide. Thus you will observe that these savages use horses w shield, as well us a conveyance. My informant says Le once shot one of their horses, and the Indian took to the water, and every tune ho shot at him he would dive hko a duck. Now the Camanches look upon the stealing of white children as a great feat, and it would not lie strange, with their wonderful dexterity, if they should h;lvo hundreds of them in their villages. Whether more or less. Gov
ernment should take some pains to rescue these captives, and to prevent, as far as practicable, this practice of stealing white children along our frontiers. Alluding to the evidence of Col. Chouteau iu 1S3G, the St. Louis Era says: Col. Chouteau fell ill with their encampment, where were their womeu aud children, and among them he found forty or fifty white children that had been captured at various tuiicajroiu tho Texuiia and Mexicans. They were generally from five to seven years old, aud of both sexes. Many of these cried for Joy at the sight of white man, an 1 were importunate in their entreaties to take them away from the Indians. He had then neither tho means to redeem them nor to bring them away; but he proiuisad that he would urge on the otiicers of Government to take measures to redeem them without delay. This gave hope and joy to the captives. He made, all proper inquiries of the warriors, and found that they were very willing to mirren-ler these young captives 011 th- payment of a satisfactory ransom. He made the arrangement with tho Indians to come in to hold a talk with the Commissioner, an. I he represented to those comm'ers the situation of those captive children, ami pressed upon them the propriety of taking measures to h ive them ransomed; and offered that if Ill's commissioners would grant the uuthotity & furnish the means, ho would without compensation, tro into the plains and r e-ive all the children llius held i-i captivity nnd brin them into the settlements' I le confidently expected tli it his representation would lie properly atten le i lo b.y lhe coiitmiwioiiers, but nothing was ever done, anp th" captives h tve ever since remained in captivity among the fierce savages.
