AN INTERESTING STRANGER.—Mr. Alexander Culbertson, for twenty years a trapper and trader among the Blackfeet Indians, who recently piloted Governor Stevens and his command through the Blackfeet's country came to Washington a few days since at the request of Governor S. to accord information to the Government in relation to that tribe. We hear that he is a man of fine intelligence, though much aboriginalized by his so-long residence beyond the usual range of the white man. He is said already to have communicated to the Indian bureau many interesting and important facts bearing on the relations of the Government to the Blackfeet. Mr. C. has gone to Chambersburg, Pa., to spend Christmas with his father and family, for the first time in twenty-nine years, revisiting the home of his youth.
