ident, who addressed them, according to the
Republican, in the following terms:
Mv Children,—When I saw you in
Washington, I told you that you had behaved
ry badly, in raising the tomahawk against
i he white people, and killing men, women and
children upon the frontier. Your conduct last
year compelled me to send my warriors
against you, and your people were defeated,
ith great loss, and your men surrendered,
to be kept until I should be satisfied, that you
would not try to do any more injury. I told
ou. I would enquire whether your people
wished you should return, and whether, if
ou did r< tur , here would be any danger
to the frontier. Gen. Clark, and General
Atkinson, whom you know, have informed
me that Sheckuk, your principal Chief, and
the rest of your people are anxious you should
return, and Kc-o-kuk has asked me to send
you Kick. Your Chiefs have pledged them
selves for your good conduct, and I have giv
en directions, that you should be taken to
your own country.
Maj. Garland, who is with you, will con
duct you through some of our towns. You
will see the strength of the white people.—
You will see that our young men are as nu
merous as the leaves in the woods. What
can you do ngaiust us ? You may kill a few
women and children, but such a force would
be soon sent against you, as would destroy
your whole tribe. Let the red men hunt and
take care of their families, but I hope they
will not again raise their hands against their
white brethren. We do not wish to injure
you. We desire your prosperity and im
provement. Bui if you again.'-plunge your
knives into the breasts of our people; I shall
send a force, which will severely punish you
for all your cruelties.
When you go back, listen to the Councils
of Ive-o-kuk and the other friendly Chiefs.—
Bury the tomahawk, and live in peace with
the frontiers. And I pray the Great Spirit to
give you a smooth path and a fair sky to re-
turn.
To this the Prophet and the others an
swered :
Mv Father,—My ears are opened to
your words; I am gia i to hear them. I am
glad to go back to my peopie. I want to see
my family. I did not behave well last sum
mer. I ought not to have taken up the tom
ahawk. But my people have suffered a great
deal. When I get back, I will remember
your words. I won’t go to war again. I wilL
live in peace. I shall hold you by the hand.

The Saybrook Girl.—A Suybrook cor
respondent of a New Haven paper affirms,
that the re|>orts respectingthisgirl’s preaching,
due. when apparently asleep, are strictly true.
He says she has as much mind as other chil
dren, has attended schobl several years at
New Haven and Saybrook, is a good reader,
&c. He thus describes her stupor and proa-
ching: She attended school as usual; iu the
afternoon, just before the children were dis
missed, a stupor came over her, when she
was conducted to a house not far from the
school, where she conversed as usual on such
subjects as were introduced, and took supper
with the family without exhibiting any pecu-
I liar conduct, except that her eyes were close-
! ly shut. She helped herself into a wagon that
was sent to convey her home. Soon after
her arrival, I took a seat by her side, and con
versed with her, and her mind to all appear-
ance was perfectly regular. She talked of New
Haven, its buildings, the situation of its streets,
and the Landcasterian School which she hail
•attended. I gave her a book which she read ac
curately ; though her eyes were closed—she
complained, however, that it was painful for
them to read. With a single reading she
would commit lines of poetry to memory
which she had never seen before. At length
she arose, placed herself in the position of
orator, and preached a sermon wiiich occupi
ed about twenty minutes. She concluded by
. . reading a hymn that was suitable to the sub
years in any term ot six. ; ject of her discourse. In preaching she was

Musk in Cholera—Among other mat
ters resorted to by the faculty to stay the
progress of this terrible disease, one has been
published of so singular a character, that w4
do not hesitate to extract thc statement into
our columns. It is contained m a letter from
Mr. Richard Laming, of No. 48, Finsbury
Square, a district in which the ravages of the
plague have been very great. Mr. Laming
says:—
“ I have lately employed musk in several
cases of Cholera with a success so uniform
and decisive, as to make its introduction desi-
rable, without loss of time, or the notice of
the whole profession, &c.
The salutary influence of thc first dose of
musk will be found manifest by greatly miti-
gating, in a very few minutes, and in many ca
ses, by effectually removing the cramps, the
purging and the vomiting. My plan has been
to give at once fifteen grains, rubbed into a
draught with a lump of sugar and a wine,
glass full of cold-water; and I am justified
in reporting that this first step, if taken
promptly,will scarcely ever fail so to arrest the
progress of the disease, os to leave thc putient
to easy and ordinary convalescence, &c. So
evident is tho action of musk in Cholera, that
thc practitioner will experience no difficulty
in determining whether, having subdued the
immediate cause of the disease by the first
dose, he should direct his attention to the re-
moval of its consequence by the ordinary
means.”
al pigeons were roasted, and a piece of mut
ton boiled and served up to the numerous
spectators, at which the ladies expressed
themselves highly delighte d. The advantage
in this mode is economy, and certainly, in
the first place, a pigeon is beautifully masted,
in 12 minutes, at the cost of one tilth of a
penny; and a large joint may be roasted or
boiled at a proportionate expense. By this
mode thc meat retains the gravy to a much
greater extent, the heat being disseminated
regularly; and whether it be a pige on or a
large joint, the whole process is completed to
a certainty at the rate of time—12 minutes
for every pound weight; and the cookery
once began, may be left till the time arrives
for dishing up. So much for the advance ot
science developed at this Gallery, which is
daily becoming the resort of the fashionable
as well as scientific world.

Important to Farmers!—As a great num
ber of Horses die annually from attacks of
cholic, it is important that a remedy, which
is calculated to relieve them from much suf

planter; the remedy is a simple though a per
fect one. I have been in the habit of using it
for several years, and in a great many cases,

The Crops of Wheat in this section, which
promised to be abundant till lute in the. Spring,
have fallen far short of general expectation.
The frequent beating , rains upon the bloom
of the Wheat, together with the firing caus-
ed by the excess of wet weather, the rust, &c.
has produced asudden change, which will, it
is supposed, generally reduced the crop to
about the fourth of that anticipated. Indeed,
in some instances, we have heard of entire
failures. This would not be a matter olT so
much importance from the precariousness of
the crops with us, but for complaints from
similar causes, in several of the States north
of us, where this crop is the principal article
of culture.—Southern Recorder. ,
From the Cape de Verds.—By the brig Selina cf
Jane, which arrived at Salem lot. inst, accounts have
been received from the Cape do Vcrd Islands to the
5th of May. The famine still continues particularly
in the Islands of St. Antonio and St. Nicholas, where
numbers are daily perishing. Many had been preser.
red from death by the supplies of provisions sent
from this country. ’ » > _
The late Trials in Rhode Island and NncJrr-
sty—Thc trial of the Rev. 'E. K. Avery for the
murder of Sarah M. Cornell lias resulted in his ae.
quittal. The respectable standing of Mr. Avery pre.
vious to this occurrence, together with thc deep .anil
inexplicable mysteries in which it has been, and still
is enveloped, mark this trial as one ofthe most inter
esting that has ever taken place in the country. It
occupied abo-.t 4 weeks in the examination of up
wards of 200 witnesses, pleadings, &c.
The reports are deeply interesting; hut from their
great length we are compelled to decline their publi
cation.
Whether innocent or guilty of thc murder, we pre
sume there arc few who can read the evi^cnco eli
cited on his trial, without coming to tho conclusion,
that in some way or other. A very exerted an inliu-
coco over the destiny of the miserable being whose
fate has produced an excitement almost unparalleled
throughout tho country.
Joel Clough, the murderer of Mrs. Hamilton, was
found guilty in murder of the first degree at thc late
term of the Circuit Court of Burlington, New Jersey,
and has heen sentenced to bC hung on the 25th of Ju-
ly next.
If the mysterious death of .«arah M. Cornell and
the professional characler and standing of the indi
vidual -"censed of her murder aroused the curiosity
and speculation of the community to the highest
pitch of rxcitement—the mohitchnly f>toof the ami
able and interesting Mrs. Hamilton—the innocent
victim of her own attractions, has elicited a degree
of fooling and sympathy throughout this broad land,
unprecedented in its annals.
Mississippi—The late elections in this State havo
resulted in the entire discomfiture of Nullification
and Poindexterism. Gen. Runnells has been elected
over Gea. Scott, tho Nullification candidate f t Gov.
lay a large majority. Many of thc State officers, and
it is thought all of them, viz : Judges, Attorney Gen-
oral, Public Auditor, Ac. have likewise succeeded.
Thus has Mississippi redeemed herself from the mis
representations of Poindexter in the Senate ofthe
U. S. and pul an extinguisher on the hopes of Clay,
Calhoun & Co. so far as she is concerned.
