The n»of of the Institute was also crowded with* eager spectators, and all was excitement; not unmingled with tnacli a! irtn. ! Meanwhile; ‘ that the animal might not escape, Mayor Swift had sent to the Arsenal for uncou ple of six-pounders, which arriving with aminutiiiion, &c., were properly mann ed, wfien one was planted in front of the side-door on Walnut street, and the ther in George street.

Judging from the present condition and former history of the Cherokee na tion,. it would seem no longer a problem whether the aborigines of this country are susceptible of a high slate <>f civil ization and refinement. It is compara tively but a levy years since these people were a trihe of savages, without a .writ ten language, when one'of their number, the immortal Geo.

The elephant, fined, became less restive, and finally stood still, and was strongly chained and numerous ropes placed about him, when he was dragged out into the arena where the fetters were all removed, ex cepting th<* chains upon his feet, and af ter some liiile trouble, Herr Driesbach succeeded in getting him to lie down.— He roared fiercely at first, hut at length submitted, and with a degree of grace did his maslet’s bidding. The animal being thus entirely subdued, the crowd, which hud assembled in the interior, be- 2 plaudits upt Driesbach, who thereupon mounted the elephant’s head as the animal lav in the arena, and addressed the assemblage, returning Ins thanks, and remarking that that was ihe proudest day of his life. The wrecks were cleared away as well as possible, and it was announced to the crowd, both inside and out, that there would be a jteiformance in'the even in’' as usual. The Cherokee Nation.
