The mother's eye, as it was sadly
bent on the waiter, rested on the
group of men, who were standing on
its very edge: at this moment one of
them raised a spy glass to his face.
Emma, shuddering, turned hastily
away, and a sick, faint feeling came
over her, but she almost immediate
ly compelled herself to look again,
ashamed ol the selfishness which
would not permit her to rejoice in
the happiness of others, while her-]
self was bereaved and desolate ■
Some beating hearts thought she,'
are waiting with tremulous joy the J
approach of the dear object of;
of their love. Shall 1 not re-1
j >ice with them? . ‘Run William, am! ’
see what vessel h?.s arrived, for those ’
men are watching, lam sure, the'
approach of one. William obeyed,;
though reluctantly, for his little heart'
was grieved whenever his eyes rest- '
ed on the water. Hts mother watch
ed his tardy footsteps as he approach:
ed the.group who at this moment>
spying him, one of them went for
ward to meet him.
Scarcely had they came near e
nough to speack, when, as though
words of magical influence had been
pronounced, William who before
scarcely moved, now tossed his arms
high in the air, and turning his face
towards his mother’s dwelling, seem
ed borne along by the wings of the
wind. The man as swiftly followed
and almost breathless they both en
tered at the same time the abode of
J’.mma. ‘O mother! mother!’ ex
clamed William; ‘Stop, my boy,’ said
his companion, ‘let me speak to your
mother first,’and turning to Emma;
he said, ‘Be calm, madam, for we
have glorious news for you wonder
ful news for you —the ship Anne is
dose at hand!’ Emma spoke not,
but her heaving bosom, and wildly
rolling eye frightened her boy, who
running to her and throwing himself
on her neck, exclaimed, ‘Why 1
thought you would be so glad, moth
er, that alter all lie is alive, & coming
to us, but you look so at all; what is
the matter, why do you look so
strangely? Emma hurried her face
in the bosom ol her child, and relciv
ed her bursting heart by weeping
aloud. Locked in each other’s arms
they mingled their tears and their
touching thanksgivings to God for his
nnspeakabl mercy, while the man
who stood by, though quite unused
to the melting mood, himself wept
like an infant.
‘But how is it?’ exclaimed Emma
‘her recollections returning as her
agitation partly subsided, has the
ocean given up her dead?’ ‘IXo
doubt; replied the man, ‘they were
driven out to sea, and have been de
tained at some port to repair dama
ges.
Soon, to the waiting eager eyes of
the wife and child, appeared that
stately ship, her white sails tilled by
a gentle breeze, and bearing her
majestically along over the soft rip
,l . .CO. . - r —nc*VU3 isoon
she was perfectly moored to the qui
et harbor, and a familiar, beloved
form, seen to step from her decks
and approach the house. Soon
they were folded to that heart which
but an hour or two before they had
thought no longer beat for them, A'
dear little Charley was pressed and!
a hundred times kissed by those lips
they had deemed cold in death.

Gentlemen,
Owing to the arrival Col. Lind
say and the necessity of placing him
in Command in thecherokee country
as soon as practicable in order that
he may make such arrangements and
disposition of the troops as the pub -
lic interests demand, I find it
will not be in my power to avail my
self of your kind invitation to unite
with you in the celebration of the
approaching 4th of July.
I extremely regret that any cir
cumstance should have deprived me
of the gratification of meeting the
citizens of Dahlohnega, whose mani
festation of kindness towards me will
even be gratefully remembered.
The many difficulties and the vari
etyofconflicting interests which beset
me in the very outset of my entering
the Cherokee Nation, filled me with
anxiety and apprehension. That I
should have overcome all anti to the
satisfaction of the.citizens residing in
the Cherokee country as the
cherokees themselves, is more than
I had a right to anticipate. Their
satisfaction at the course I have pur
sued and anxiety to have me to re
main in the country, fills me equally
with gratification and reluctance to
leave it until the objects which called
me to it have been accomplished.
1 semi you a sentiment which you
will please offer to the citizens of
Dahlohnega on the day of celebra-
tion.
The citizens of Dahlohnega, pat
otic, just and magnanimous—Their
approbation of my conduct my high
est reward.
1 am very respectfully
your most
ob’t. setv’t.
