tofluence envoys have exercised iii daffi stroymg ?my of the cabmits of Ea rope? He desired to know what facts could be disciored as to this man, who was now elevated to the dignity of being made a subject of grave dis cussion in this House. What legisla tion could grow out of this enquiry? Was it intended to legislate the chief into office again? Now that he has been unmade, do we propose to remake him? or to cast any censure on the President for the act of the agent? Hare the Speaker announced that the hour appropriated to resolutions had expired, and suspended the dis cussion. The bill was afterwards ta ken up and adopted. IfEWllCHOTA: ~ THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1823. TO CORRESPONDENTS. “ A Friend” has been received, and will tie inserted in our next. A MISTAKE CORRECTED. We notice the following in the N. Y. Advertiser. “J1 second Indian newspaper, is stated in the Philadelphia Democratic Press, to be published under the patronage of the Cherokee Nation. It is to be printed iat Columbus, on the Chafahouchee river in Georgia, under the title of the “Columbus iEnquirer.” The above is altogether a mistake, which ^probably originated from the establishment of the Cherokee Phoenix, the only Indian paper, we believe, in existence.—At pres ent, Georgia would be quite an unfavorable Jplace for publishing an Indian paper. From what has taken place between the Cherokees and the State of Georgia, and the freqnent hostile feelings expressed by th" leading men of the latter, it cannot oth erwise be expected but that there should be considerable prejudice and animosity of feeling existing on both sides. It is even thought by some of our Citizens that a Georgian must necessarily be an enemy to Indians. This is a great mistake, which it Is our w''sh to do away. It is true that the proceedings of the Legislature of the State towards us, have been far from being Chris tian and friendly, yet this does by no means Shew, that all the private citizens will deal Svith us in a similar manner. There are Jmany who are real friends to the Indians; Jttianv whose friendship we greatly prize.— Among this nuiftbcr we include the writer of a letter, (with whom we have no person al acquaintance) of which the following is on extract. “I pray God that your laudable exertions tmay be blessed by civilizing and evangeliz ing all such of your tribe as are yet in a state of ignorance, and that the influence of your paper may reach every tribe on ^his Continent. I hope ere long; to see the Redeemer’s standard hoisted and planted an the heart of every tribe and kindred in America—-when all commotions and angry- feeling shall be buried in oblivion, and all become the family of God, and enjoy the 'blessed communion of our Great Redeemer, 'Without any distinction of name or sect,” Wc add our hearty amen to the above, Among the frequent notices of the fatal effects of intemperance, we have had occ;>« Vion to lay before our headers two instance; t)f murder in the neighborhood of Sumach. We have the mortification ofincreasing our list with two others. One not far from Su mach, another in Pine Log, The trial of tone of them was to take place on the H2thinst. and the other was shot the day fcfter the murder. We do not remember tover to have noticed so many instances of Anurder within so short a time. Such fre. quent cases speak a language, not to be inisunderstood, to the dealers of ardent ’spirits* -— FOR tHS CHEROKEE FHCENIX. Mr. Boudinott:—permit me, through the medium of your paper to Suggest a plan for the edification of Cherokee congregations at mission Stations, when no minister of the Gos pel is present, or no interpreter. It is this. Let the best reader of Chero kee be selected, & let him be request ed, by the conducter of the meeting, to. make himself familiar beforehand with the chapter of the Bible, which is published in the number of the Bhoenix last received, and with the remarks which accompany it, and in meeting read them to the congrega tion.’ I make this suggestion on the supposition that you may continue, as you have begun, to publish one chap ter in each of your numbers.

Ha) 'ris, superintendant f the Seneca Mission, to the publisher of the Roch ester Obscrrer, dated Seneca Village, Feb. 25,1828. You are already apprized that within the year past we e.ijoyed a lit tle season of revival at the Seneca and Calaraugus stations:—the fruits of which are precious and still remain. It is, dear Brother, a consoling truth of the Bible that “with God,-all things are possible.” He is able to renew and purify the most degraded—and for the honor of the gospel and the glory of his own great name, he has sometimes done it to the no small joy of his servants, and to the confusio; and vast annoyance of infidel objectors. The church at ?Seneea has increas ed from fourteen to thirty native members. A church has been form ed at Cataraugus within the year consisting of nineteen adult native members, princyaally the fruits of this season of refreshing from the presence of God. A number more at both sta tions, of both sexes and of all ages, arc still inquiring “what must w& do to be saved.” The moral influence of the Gospel on tile hearts and habits of this people since its entrance amongst them, is in many respects most cheering. It has taught them to respect them selves, one another—the commands and institutions of God's word. It has promoted the peace of families:— cleanliness ot person—an almost uni versal regard for the Sabbath, except where they are led astray by the re mains of paganism, or the still more pernicious example of some of the whites, who are seen frequently com ing from on this most sacred day-either for the purpose of collect ing accounts, making bargains in lum ber, cattle, swine, or some other in consistent or less laudable object of pursuit.— This same moral influence has done away an almost incalculable amount ol wretchedness in the deser tion ot wives, children and parents. It it has not killed that Hydra—intem perance, it has given him many a wound, which I humbly and fervently pray will prove incurable. A few of the most influential chiefs of the Tribe, who have long been thought incurable drunkards, have refrained astonishingly for some time, and ap pear to be applying to the only effect ual remedy, the help that comes from God only. The people at this station have re cently resolved on erecting by private subscription among themselves a neat little Chapel, to be finished the ensu ing summer; which shall cost them when completed, $1700. One chief headed the subscription with $100 in cash. $1000 in cash was pledged; the rest they agree to pay partly in lumber in one of the saw mills, and partly in cash from a few individuals who are expected generously to as sist them in Canandaigua and vicinity. The house is to be 50 feet by 40— well seated, painted—with tower, dome, bell, &e. &e. There is at present a very interest ing state of feel in;.; s amongst ihe Aiie- ganics, a branch of Uk Seneca family on the Allegany river below Clean. Four of their number were received into the church at Seneca on their own application, better than a )eur since. These have been very useful in'drawinsjthc attention of a number ot their countrymen to the concerns oi their souls, & have in fact been their only spiritual guides. About a week since, in company with a delegation from the church at Seneca, i paid them another visit, and to our joy,— we found quite a number on their knees imploring the infinite Redeemer to enlighten their darkness and save their souls. About 3U appeared to be enquiring for Christ with tears. About 20 of both sexes confessed their sins in public conference, with such solemnity of manner and delica cy of sentiment, and tenderness of feeling, as must have penetrated the most obdurate. To see the trickling tear glisten on the cheek of the sil very headed warrior, who has long since buried the hatchet beneath the “tree of peace” as .lie, sal reclining his head upon his staff, listening to the statements oi his former companions in arms, or to the still more affecting language of the beloved youth of his tribe—w'as to me one ol' the most in teresting scenes I could desire to see on tliis side heaven. May it prove the indication of the godly sorrow which worketh repentance unto life. Eight were baptized on the ?Sab- bath, who have some time been con sidered pious, and will be received into full communion with the church in Seneca, in the spring, if they con tinue to be stedfast. A goodly number of the people love songs of Zion, and it is one of our most delightful exercises on Sab bath evening, after the more public ezercises of the day, to sit down sur rounded by a group of these interes ting children of nature—sometimes engaged w ith them in singing, and oc casionally listening in tearful silence to their expressions of deep-toned af fection and penitence.” SUFFERINGS OF THE GREEKS. Sophia Condulimc was the wife of an officer of distinction, who fell du- • ing the siege of Missolonghi. When ■ be Turks entered the town, she was among the crowd which sought to es- ape the fury of the enemy by quit- t ng the w alls, accompanied by her son and daughter. They had not pro ceeded far when the mother perceiv ed a party of Turks coming towards them: horrified at the fate which was about to befal her daughter, a beaut i- lul girl of sixteen, she turned to th» sou, who was aimed* and told him to shoot Ins Bister, .lest she should h«* v ine a victim of Mussulman biutcii- y! The youth immediately obeyed the dreadlui mandate* drew a pis.oi from his girdle, and lodged its contcr ■'$ ■ our large sli gs, in his Sister s head, when she fell to the ground, apparent ly a lifeless corpse. Thus relieved liom a charge which the mother could not preserve, herself and son endea voured to take refuge in a cavern.— Just as they were entering it a grape shot struck the boy in the leg, and he also fell. Scarcely had the mother succeeded in dragging him in after he > than a quiet of Turkish cavalry came up; one of the party drawing forth a pistol, pointed it at the temple of poor Sophia, who suddenly rising up, look ed sternly at the Turk and exclaimed* “ Barbarian, do you not see that I am a woman?” This had the desired ef fect, and both the mother and her son were spared to be conducted intn slavery. The most extraordinary part of the story remains to he told.-r— Ber ing among the two hundred ransomed by the Continental Greek Commits* tees, they were sent over to this is*- land and placed with the others - Judge of the mother's astonishment oil finding that her imaginary murdered daughter was among the number! Tfr he brief, on perceivi ;g she was a fe male, the Turks carried her back 1A Missolonghi, bound up her wounds* which had all the appearance of hei ig mortal, but she recovered, and her sto ry having attracted the attention of the ransomed agents, the interesting Cressula was res ued from bondage, and, what : s more, thus singularly desk tined to be once more restored to tho arms of her disconsolate parent.—Let- 1 tersfrom Greece. Cause, of embalming the Egyptians.—* A French chemist, M. Julia Fon- tenellc, in a dis -nurse pronounced on occasion of the opening of api E yp- tian mummy i.i the amphitheatre of the .Sorbune, at paris has tlelivered an opinion respecting the cavjse of em balming in Egypt, that the Egyptians' were led to it from physicaj necessity; During four months of every year* the inundations of the Niks cover al most entirely the whole ofithe surface* 01 ^gypl which is under cultivation. Under the reign of SesoHtris, for .an extent of territory of /about 2,250 square leagues according to D’An- ville, there would be a p^omilation of 6 222 persons per squat-leagues* which would present 350 Oino dc- 8 per annum. The corpses musvt be got rid of either by burning or by i tear ment: if the latter, they must bfv bu ried around the inhabited snots, or in those which are inundated by t'ne> Nile, and then the decomposition of these bodies w ould have been a source* of destruction; and for burning there was an insufficiency of wood. But the soil of Egypt abounds in springs of latrou, (subearbonate of soda,) and as this substance is a perfect antisep tic,,, the inhabitants were natural ly led to preserve with it the corpses of the dead. In support of the oj>in— ion that sanitary views alone w-ere tho cause of embalmment down to the third century before the Christian era* when the practice w r as abandoned. M. Fontenelle observes, that during tha* whole of that period the plague was? unknown in Egypt, where it is now- endemic.—Ch. Obs. Matrimonial Quarrels.—The wife of a frame work knitter, in Oxford^ street, Leicester, made her appear* ance before the Mayor, and stated that she wanted to be parted from her husband. The Mayor: My good' woman, w r e do not sit hereto unmarry people; what is your complaint?—t. Woman: My husband has sold all the» furniture out of the house, and gonb to live at lodgings, and he will nob maintain me.
