THE PROPHET, OTALKE-THLOCKO,
Is a runaway Creek, about 45 year* of age. Tlte
opinion entertained of trim hy every Indian that I
have board speak of him, is that he is n coward.—
He escaped from the Creek country six years ago,
and tells a long atory of Iris having been imprison
ed and ironed by the white*. His influence over
those around him is very great, canned by his mak
ing known the approach of troops, healing the
sick, finding game, and controlling tlte seasons. It
is doubtful whether he his ever been in battle. In
a garrison so well regulated as Ute one over which
ho presides, he must be pf vast service not only in
consequence of his ability to cominnne with Die
Great Spirit, who controls tfi«ir destinies, but for
Ilia happy talent as a staff officer—frequently feed
ing hi* follower* on faith in his necromancy, when
other troops in like circumstances might demand
more substantial article of diet. That he is cow
ardly and consequently cruel, is proven by Samp
son's narrative, but he lias sufficient tact m the
Great Medicine Man," to convince his follower*
that lie is of necessity a noncoinbatant.
SAM JONES, (AR-PM-KA,)
Is a distinguished medicine tnnn, and is a Micka-
sukie. He numbers four-score years, and for his
ago is strong and active. The influence ofthU
man over iris immediate ndherent* is unbounded.
They respect his acts nnd obey hi* mandates with
a religious sense of duty. His venerable appear
ance and bitter hostility for the whites, have nlike
contributed to elevate him in tho estimation of his
tribe. lie plans nttneks, fires the first gun and re
tires to attend tho wounded, leaving flic head war
rior to fight trio battle. He instigated the attack
upon Fort Mellon—performed Iris duty as a head
man, nnd retired to perform the kind offices of his
profession,(a medicine man.) The command de
volved upon Coacooche (Wild Cat,) who contin
ued flie fight until be was compelled to retire for
wont of ammunition. Ar-pi-t-ka says tli.it lie is
advanced in years, that Iris hair is wlrite, that Flor-
idh belongs to his kindrod; beneath its sands lie
the bones of his people. Tho earth to him is cou-
secrated, ho lias hallowed it With the best blood of
his braves, aud us long as Iris heart continue.* ta
beat, lie will maintain his present position. His
people ouco wero as numerous as the trees of the
forest; they received nnd welcomod tho white
mnn, who iu return fur kindness, huve, it is true,
extended the apparent baud of fellowship, hut
within its gnwp the glittering blade is clutched;
dark stains nro upon it, dyed hy tho blood of Iris
children, whose spirits are now roaming abroad in
the laud of tho Great Spirit, calling upon him to
avenge them. I am old, snys he, n fow more
moons, nud my spirit will set out on the long jour
ney, but T will not desert the land of my futiicrs. I
was born liero and I will die here.
Tho war Chiefs of tliis Cypress hand are Cliitto-
'Tustoiuiggu, Parsuck-e und Os-sin-o-wnr; they,
together with saute young nul»-diiels,hcud tiio scouts
aud execute with fidelity the mandate* of the coun
cil, or tiio wishes of Jones and the Prophet. Tho
hanging of Clto-ki-kn, mid othor Indians, by Col.
Harney, roused tho anger of these Chiefs. They
declared in council, eternal hostility, nnd savage
brutality, to nny wlrite man that camo within their
roach. “We, (said Sam Jones,) givo them n de
cent death—wo shoot lliuiu, or quietly bent out
their brain* with n pino knot—not hang them, like
dogs." Tho Indians left hanging hy Col. Harney,
were taken dowuby Jones' men, and buried. Tiio
Cypress hand is composed of the heedless and un
bending spirits of tho Seminole, Mickasukic, mid
Creek tribes. - Tho Micknsukics preponderate;
they mingle with tnoro hnrmnny than ut any peri
od of their history, nnd are willing (o accept miy
others, wild will subscribe their laws nnd believe in

Cypress to the Atlantic iu four days—knows all flie

The China News given in our columns, yester

more in detail.
Cnptain Elliott had issued quite a number of pro
clamations, which wo have in detail. Uno cautions
British vessels not to enter flie river under present
ci rail instances, but to proceed to Hong Kong, and
threatening flie Chinese with another blockade of
Canton should nny attempt be made to obstruct tiio
freedom of trade with Hong Kong. Another is to
the people of Canton, urging them to expel tho
Imperial Commissioners and flie Tartar troops,
with u threat that if these troops bad not left the city
within twelve hours, the British protection would
bo withdrawn. Tliis was dated the 22d of May.
Another, also to the people of Canton, on the 3d
of June, inviting them to return and resume their
nsun] pursuits.
Another on tiio 7th of June, inviting the Chinese
merchants and traders to resort to Hong Kong,'
Ac., and alluded to our Macao Correspondent.
The Chinese authorities have paid H. B. M.’s Re
presentative six millions of dollars, agreeably to
promise, to save Canton from threatened destruc
tion. Tho northern troops are to be sent uwny
from Ciuiton, and Captain Elliott has withdrawn
the British forces from tho vicinity ofthe city. Tho
trade is nominally open to all foreigners, British
and neutral; hut none of the British merchant* np-
pear disposed to trust themselves again, unprotec.

Hope nnd Courage.
True hope is based on energy of character. A
strong inina ulwavs hopes, and has always cause to
hope, because it knows the mutability of human
ailuirs, and how slight a circumstance may chungu
the whole course of events. . Such a spirit, too.

been light amounting in all asfnrastheyhavecomu
to our knowledge to only 1646 bales, which wero

Hope awakens courage, while despondency is
the last of all ovils; it is Uie abandonment of good
—the giving up of tiio battle of life with dead noth
ingness. He who cun implant courage iu tiio liu-
muu soul is tho best pliysiciau.
To seek to govern men by thoir fears and their
wants is an unworthy purpose; flie desire to rule
by meuna of cowardice is itself cowardice. Love
inspires couragenud hope, and thus is doubly tiio
giver and preserver of life.
Whatever touches us boldly to combat tiio mum-
fold doubts nud nssnults of lite, enables us to win
flie crown of victory. Special care ought therefore
to be taken iu education to teach what true courago
is—us well iu sociul and domestic, us in public af
fairs—and hy wliut meuus it may bust bo sustained.

Old maids are often, very often, women of supc
rior uiinds; aud such are most likely to be old mams,
for more than one reason- In the first (dace, they
have tho discretion to be slow in selecting their nnr*
and as three-fourths of mankind tiai
tiers for life; and as uiree-tourttt* 01 mankind have
not the'qualifications to make good husbands, it
may be supposed that a discreet and judicious wo
man will reject three out of four of those who soli
cit her hand. This of course, makes her chanccs |
of marriage fewer, bnt it makes her chance of hap- 1
nines* much greater. The second cause why sensi
ble women ore apt to become old maids is, that most
men dread them. Yes, it is a fact tliat most men
dread a settsiblo woman. It is not uncommon to
hear a man, who is not a foot himself, make dispar
aging remarks concerning “female Solomons,"
"Ptotoi in petticoats," &c. Who' has ever kpown
venr highly gifted todies tabs popular among Uieir
male acquaintances f Men are apt to think talents
do not bflongto flie feminine mind; aud even when
they have discernment enough to admire a gifted
woman ns a friend or occasional companion, they
rarely flunk of making her a companion and friend
for life. All these tilings tend to *lmw that sensible
and sifted women are most likely to be old maids,

when the sixty minutes which we call sixty years

and the ashes of his feathers full buck to earth, and
tho unveiled soul, fn ed from its covering of clayi
os pure as a tone, ascends on high. Even in the
miast of the dim shadows of life, he sees the moun

Speculation In tlie Weal.
A day or two since, a friend of ours, a merchant
in this city, was hailed in tho street by a tall, rough-
looking fellow, very plainly nttiied in linsey, cow-
hide boots, and slouched hat, who accosted him
