The following relation of the death and bu rial ol a beautiful squaw, I had from an intelli gent young lady who panned a winter at Volu sia, upon thcßt. John’a river, and waa an eye witneaa lo some of the act-ties I have hore de acrihed. There iaa doal of romanre in the history of this Katalikee, a wild fawn of ihe Hcminolea. She waa by birth a Kucher, but had married a Neminola warrior. A young .S'anopof her own tritie had early imbibed an ardent attachment for tha young Princess: ho had breathed out his fervent love to her In all the glowing lan guage of Ilia nitive longue: she received his protestations in silence, without a look of grat itude. lie had pressed hia anil long and unre mittingly ; she received his attentions with carelessness and indifference. Many a beautifiil night when the moon was riding high in the heavens, and flinging its sil very light over the lake and woods in the vi cinity other dwelling, had he repaired toiler cottage, and urged the young fawn to walk with him to neighboring dells and there pour rd forth hia whole soul, with ail Ihe masterly and passionate eloquence, for which the wari er is so distinguished, in thought almost irre sistible, yet dulcet strains into the ear of this wild girl. But all to no purpose, her dark gazelle eye softened not at hia impassioned el oquence, and her soft slender hand sent back no electrical thrill to the nervous pressings of his own. It was not that she loved another, it waa not that her heart was unexceptibie ; she was pos sessed of a soul capable of experiencing affec tion of the deepest and holliest character ; but the young warrior had not about him that un accountable 11 Je ne gait 91*01'”— that miateri mti something, which the heart of civilized woman always delights to throw around the object of her affections, and which is absolute necessary to atvuken the sentiment of love in these children of the forest. At one time he hoped hit devotion and tin* wearned attenion had began to win upon her heart, ind in one of her rambles while seated upon the grass, and amusing Rata.'ika by some tale of hiaow n prow ess, lie a entered to unbind her raven hair—he pressed his slim, tawny, but yet delicate and well turned lingers through her flowing tresses, and commenced cautious ly anointing them with the marrow of the deer the strongest token of Indian regard She perceived this, sprang upon her fert,and telling him in her heart’s own unequivocal language, she did not, could not love him—bounded away to her mother. Never again did she listen to his professions of regard ; fr* m that day forth, never did he visit her wigwam ; and the fawn gambolled no more in the woods, unless it was known that the young Kuehec had gone upon a long burning excursion. Not many moons had tv axed and w aned, af ter the incident just related had transpired, when a tall athletic and manly figure might have been seen at the dusk of evening, Mealing with a light, elastic, and almost noiseless foot step through a dense hammock near which was situated a neat Indian wigwanu ; the in dividual paused at intervals and listened as if in expectation himsely of hearing footsteps ; not far distant to the right might have heen seen lltc outlines of a ul! slender form, recli ning against an old tree itt the attitude of breathless attention ; the figure walked slow ly on in the direction of this tree; no sooner were footsteps heard, than the form beneath it glided forward, and in a moment Estalika was in the arms of the stranger. Tales of the prowess of Sulka, a warrior of j ihe Semi.iiiles, who had lately come among them, had long preceded his arrival; he was i ► bow n a the ehifof lion hear* and eagle eye. ! and the dark-eyed Kuchee maiden's hearts heat more rapidly at every roup dt'otil which the elegant stranger cast upon them. Hut he waa indifferent to all save th* maiden whoee melancholy fate 1 have commenced to relate. , The flrat tine Kataiika exchanged glances with Nulka, aha felt that he war a being she could love.—His tall and manly frame, his breadth of cheat, anil eagle eye, were not to be resorted by e squaw, faatideous even as Katali ka. Many times had they already met by . | stealth in this sequestered spot; he had won her love and received as proof of it all which woman has to give, and was now coming lo meet her for the last lime, before he removed her to the hunting grounds of the Scminoles. Preparations for departure were made this eve ning and on the morrow at dawn of day, the Indian lover, and she who was now his wife, might be aeeu vending their way on a serpen tine trail, through the wild forests. In a few days they where at Hulks’* home, ’ and the confiding young Kuchee, found the ! warrior ahe loved, all that the most exacting squaw rould desire. Eleven moons of uninterrupted happiness had glided rapidly away, and Kstaiika had be come the mother of a beautiful boy—the idol of his father; not an unkind look or w ord had ever escaped from Sulks to his wife—if after a toilsome chase he returned without surces*, she soothed his angry spirit with gentle words, and made him forget in the rapture of his only iuvs, the chagrin which had added a frown to his tawny brow; she was all tenderness and affection—she believed him the superior war rior of his tribe, and loved him with the devo tion of woman’s first, and only love, and they were happy. This was the state of feelings existing in his wigwarm, when one evening a strange Indian who had been lurking all day in the woods near by, was seen just as the last rays of twi light died away, to rise from the mossy couch where he had thrown himself, and creep along in a half bent posture, to the edge the thicket near the wigwam ; a (ire was burning in the enclosure of the house, and a few gourds and rude dishes were laying upon the ground near which sat our happy couple; the stranger, unseen, might hsve been observed narrowly watching the movements of both, while they enjoyed under the open sky their frugal repast. After watching them for a time he turned, and accidentally stumbling against a sapling tree, caused the foliage to rustle. Es talika looking enquiringly at her unconcerned husband, lo know what caused it, but he did not look up, and (he noise not being repeated was forgotten—meanwhile the unknown had glided into the forest and disappeared. Kstaiika retired to rest at her usual hour, rose on the morrow, and prepared her morn ing repast. The food was taken: soon after she began to complain of sickness and a strange burning sensation on the brain. Hulkj. not unacquainted with the symptoms, hastily en quired ifany stranger had been around their camp? No waa the reply of the. wife, but 1 thought I saw adark figure like a man near that thicket last evening ; leaving her for a moment he hastened there —prints of moccasins remain ed in the sand, someone had been there, and lie divined at once who it was. and the cause of his w ife’s illness. Since the day the Kuchee had decn rejected by Kstaiika he had meditated revenge ; when the Seminole bore her from the wigwam ofher mother, he was still more wounded in pride, and apent many an hour in devising means to put his oft conceived, and as frequently aban doned achemes in execution. The stranger who stood in that thicket the night before was the Kuchee warrior ; he had been stealing around at the hour of their even ing meal, to ascertain the gourd which was used by Kstaiika—he had learned it—and at the still hour of midnight had infused therein the poisonousjuice ofanherb ho knew was deadly, 1 and his revenge was satiated. Kvery thing which the most tender affection and the akiii of the sagrst Doctors of the tribe j could suggest would not avail to save her. j The tide of life was ebbing slowly away, and J the bold Sulka, with a tearless eye, hutacoun- 1 tenanre expressive of the most intense anguish,! leaned over his dying wife, uttering audibly at iutervuls, “ Upiift, lepust,” the breath is going, j ihe breath is going. An old crone of the tribe ‘ held the infant boy over the dying mother, to receive her parting spirit, as it is supposed to ‘• linger foratime with its children, and impart instructions which ate to exert an influence ■ upon all their future destiny. When it became evident that life was extinct, those around began to place the body in as compact a posture as possible; the arms were bent nl the elbows so that each had lay back against each shoulder; the legs were doubled at the knees, and then brought up against the 1 stomach, the body being now in a sitting pos ture : the head was inclined forward, and the whole frame compressed together and tied up in a large blanket like a bundle, but the body still retaining the sitting posture. These rites performed, the fire in and around the wigwam was extinguished, the blankets. Ac, mustered together, and two Indians pat sing a pole through the bundle containing the corpse, shouldered it and marched off to anew ■ camp; they always remove their camps when ever a friend dies. Having selected anew camp ground, the fires were again kindied. Now commenced the ceremonies preliminary to burying the dead. A fast was hckl for three days, and the body placed in the open air, had a large fire enkindledaround it which burnt for the same period. At the expiration of this time the I body was removed for buiial. As no such , ready made mausoleum as a hollow tree was I near, the friends proceeded to construct an In- j ; dian tomb; it was when finished a pen built , cob-house fashion, of sapling pines of sufficient | height to receive the body in a sitting posture. I Here they placed her, and then tumbled in her : tin pans and pots, w ith beads,belt*, and a small supply of poultry and provisions. A few In dun girl* who had followed in the train, pluck-! ggsket rnmmstXt&* cd wild flowara and strewed them round the copse—fit emblems of her own fragile and and ahort lived exiaience. Hhe had ahed a momentary fragranca around ll>e path of Sulka, , and had faded. Now commenced the wailing for the dead, such a weeping and howling, auch noises and gesturei a* beggar ail description. If pandemonium had broken loose with alt it* host, it appeared as though they could not have produced greater commotion. Thu*ter minated the last sad rites over the unfortunate and beautiful Kstaiika. There is scope in the history of this interesting Indian girl, for a | beautiful tale; in the hands of an able novelist, | it might receive a thrilling interest. Pardons — Reprieves, etc. —The custom of pardoning for capital offences, on the part of our Legislature, his become a positive evil, i It is scarcely possible sny longer for a white man to suffer the penalty of the law. We well remember that, during the last session of the | legislature, much time was consumed, and j many very pathetic speeches were made, to | secure the pardon of John Gray, who was un der sentence of death for a murdercominitted : in a house of ill fame in the city of Augusta. The sympathies of the members were effec- I tually reached, and he was released. At the j late session of Lincoln Superior Court, this same individual was convicted on two indict ments for larceny, and sentenced lo the pen itentiary for ten years. There is much said by mistaken philanthropists relative to the extension of mercy to criminals; would it not be well for them to remember that the virtuous portion of the community have at least equal claims upon their sympathies? The certainly of punishment I* vastly more effectual than its severity. In our Georgia courts a conviction is rapidly becoming little 1 else than a solemn mockery. It is in many instances treated with sheer contempt as the j criminal relics with confidence upon the mercy of the executive for a reprieve, and upon the ignorance and false sympathies of the Legis lature for an ultimate pardon.

The Ente Duel in North-Carolina. —The Norfolk Hracon, noticing the report which reached Baltimore that the report of the duel between Mr. Jones, :>f North-Carolina, and Mr. Wilson, ofN.

We w ould only add that our i account of the unhappy affair was obtained | form one who had 100 good reason* to know the particulars, and that since the rumor was afloat we have aeeu a letter from the best att | thorny, slating that the body of the unfortunate W ilson, was buried near Currituck Court I House. Other letter* corroborate the burial of the body as just stated.’’ The N. O. lice, of the Bth inat says:—“Mai. Gcnl. M’Combe and Gen. Wool, of the U. 8. Army, have arrived in this city from Florida. W'e understand that they have concluded a treaty with the Hemtnolcs; the exact terms of which have not yet transpired—but the Indians are to keep possession of the ‘disputed terri tory.” The same papersays:—“Col. Barnard K. Bee, Toxian minister plenipotentiary to Mexico, 1 left this rtty on Saturday in the Woodbury for Mexico. We understand he bears the olive branch of peace; the object of his mission being to obtain the recognition of Tcxiuti indepen dence on the part of Mexico, and to form a treaty of peace, amity and commerce with that republic.” The Committee appointed by the New York Legislature to enquire into the abuses said to exist in the Sing-BingJPrison, have reported, and it makes the blood run cold ‘ to read the barbarous treatment of the prisoners. For the last two yeais they have been deprived of a sufficiency of good and wholesome food, which rendered them un able to labour, and if a full day’s work was not dou a flogging was the consequence, as also if they made any complaint. The regulations of the prison require meat lor their dinner, but the keepers substituted j peas or codfish a great portion of the time.; One of the underkeepers testifies that pria ! oners have received from 85 to 200 stripes, ] the end of the ropes with which they were , punished not (infrequently would with wire : —that prisoners have committed suicide from excessive punishment—that the coro- ■ 1 nor was seldom called at the death of a prisoner, although the law requires it in every instance, and that whenever the In spectors, or any public functionary were l expected, the keepers would give them good and wholesome provisions, such as j the law requires.—Gov.

Gov. Porter was present at the trial as a witness.— Pkilad. Ledger. Newspaper Borrowing.— The borrow “.g 0 f newspapers is, very unfair, and hardly „n honor able practice. Suppose the principle should be extended, and that people should take it into their heads to borrow the wares of tradesmen, instead of purchasing them, what a pretty pass would things come to. How would a shoema ker stare, if one should ask him for the ioan of a pair of shoes, saying that be only wanted; to Irene them! Yet people borrow anew spa- ’ per—they only want to read it!
