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.

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.

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.

From the Montgomery (Ala.) Journal. 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 fering and perhaps death, be known'to every 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, ip every one of which it has afforded imme diate relief. The remedy is Tobacco.— Take a small twist of tobacco, or if leaf tobac qp, as much as can be grasped between the fore finger and thumb—add to it a quart of water, and boil it for a minute or two, or un til it acquires the color of strong coffee, and drench the horse with it. If you have it the right strength,.a quart, will not be too much; but for fear of its being too strong it would be better to give half and repeat the dose if A coroner’s inquest was held one day last week over the body of a man found dead near thc River. In the examination tho body was recognized to be that of a cripple who had been seen about Macon for several days previous, most constantly in a state of intox ication. He called his name McRaincy, and stated himself to be a native of the State of New-York, a tanner and currier by trade, and that he was wounded and crippled in the hard fought Battle of Lundy’s lane, near the Falls of Niagara, in Canada, during the last war, by a musket ball tlijrough the arm, and a bayonet wound in the thigh. He boasted of having killed the man who bayoneted him ! But, alas for human glory, thc conqueror of the British is at last conquered by Whiskey ! —Georgia Telegraph. 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.

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.

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.
