An Indian named Calcba-C'lioplio, who, it is sup

disclosure to Lieut.‘Tompkins:
When Sandy I'urryinaii, thn negro interpreter,
(wlm it appear* was not killed at Carluosa) return-
••d from the interview with (Jen. Macomb, im was
one day caruii-ing with Sam Jones and a party el
Indian* near Fort Lauderdale, when Sam miiiurked
tlmt interpreter* were generally liars, and be fear
ed the news brought by Sandy wn* ton good to bo
true. Upon this, Sandy took CntcliteClioplionMilu,
and said that he would tell limbing bu truth, im-
cause lie was burn iiiiiong the Indians, and h s feel
ings wore wi'h them. All the nniiui-c* and proles-
aioii* of the whites were u pack ol'lb'x; they were
at war with eight foreign and frontier nations, and
had Imen beaten; tlmy hail atiiro.edu gn at deal,
mid were idrmd—which nmdo them sue lor it pence
with llni Indians, that the li'ir-emm and soldiers
might be withdrawn t" lie p thu pe-ple in tlm h.cli
countries; but that next year thu whies would
hold uiiother council, uml take new umasere
ilrivu the Indians out. Ilu advised the Indians te

it time, else tho whit"* would seize them—(lint In*
would fruui time to time go among them to give in

upply of aimniiiiition. Ileexhoriedtlii'iii allimv.'i
to Imlievn tlm whiles, and his story Imemne, it is
said, so generally Imlievd among the Indians, that
great mimlH'i's joined th.* hostile party. The whole
plot of the inassacru at Carloosaliatcliie, was. it is
said, connected hy the interpreters Mindy mid
.Smupson, and a Indian prisoner releamd from Black

Ter*tiorv, reside habitually witti Smn Jones, near
tliu head uf New River, and luive coutinu d during

with tliu existing state of things, uml uses limit

SCHOOL THICK A DAY.
Ir Im* Imen customary fh*many of. the prLn’o
-chools in thi* city, nnd in -omeol tliu nuhlic schools
in the oUu r parts of the country, to hold ®hf "tie
session. The pupil* tiro kept iu school fivi%r six
hours, with little or no teci-s*. and dmhu»ini's»i the
day i- finished ot 2 or 3 o'clock, I’. At. This cu»-
tom has been introduced rhielly in i*nnser|iieiiGV of
dm lutent'M of tho hour at w h.cli most busiuc** tnen
dim*. If thu mi mlmrs of tlm faml y who am ml
•climd are* to dine with the family at 3 or 4 ii’dock,
they cannot nt:cnd an iifterimon school session, at
least in tlm winter. Tho teuchurx a-e generally dis
posed to favor the plan nf one session, because tlio
iulmrs of the day urn lining In togtlh' r and despatch-
ixi ut once, und theii time is less broken. Rut pa
rent* and tcucln rx sbould we think, Inquire whether
they ora not in this wny sacrificing the interests of
tho pupils, lur tlm sukn of ii little convenience or
fushiun in the fumily arrangement*. In tliu first
place, tho health of thu children is endangered by
it. Five nr»ix hours confinement wilh litilo or no
interruption cannot Im* I'lidun-d duv after day even
be an adult, without tlm hiz udof serious injury;
and ihn teacher i* therefore endangered by such a
course, especially with thn pecnlimly wearing und
oxhuu-tiog labors of u free-chiH'l nmn. But chil
dren must almost inevitably suffer from it. Tlm
muscles become w eul.) the spine loses its true posi
tion; the chest is narrowed, ami the whole system
.■iite.-ltied, buch ha* lieen tbc • If cl un multitudns
of children in oar cities. B'-sidvs, prolonged Muni
tion and nmiml application tire onq-'CstiiMiulily in-
jiirmus. 'Tlm effect of ilm ucliun of tlm mind on the
suite nf, the body, is evety day Iteiter underxieed;
and tlio mischiefs of a fin red n nl excessive action of
Ilm brain have been touuften observed, to leave any
doubt thut there is leasou for much caution iu this
re-pcct. If the attention of pupils inn school is
fixed upon their studies uml tlieir exercises ns it
should lie during their school bom s, it is m-t proba
bly safe to continue tlmm more llian two und u half
or ib on Ii,airs at one se-sitm, uud even during this
period limy should be allowed short intermissions
of sillily, and opportunities to leave their seat*.—
Some teiie.uers wlms" pupils nre ics'liss and reluc
tant iu learn, may laugh at the idea of ihpii sutler-
'g 1‘inm exe xsive tm-ulnl ofihrt. Bui I he teacher
Beilin, lixlics Ids design oi ly so far as lie sneered*
in leading his pupils to make mental i H’ti; uml lie
would surcued Im hull, r if lie would coniine them
so long ns they might profitubly und sufuiv upply
th •in*el«ii4. Families might provide dinner liir
huso wlm attend school, at 1 o'clock, liir bettor than
submit to tliu disadvantage which heleni! to thu
system alluded to. Indeed, aside I'rain all oilier
c 'iisiderntinn, it might l>e wel. lo inquiie whether
the Into dinn-rs ofthe city aiu not injurious to young
put-oils, uud even to ull.
But the education uf ilte pupils, as well us their

Charlo- King, Esq. of tlio American, rose, and
after proper comments upon the oblignrions of tho
press to iteam, dwelt upon tho cheerful aid it had
given to this ocean-enterprise, without regard lo
the fact that it wns yet A moi icon, mid that though
it somewhat inflicted with American capita' already
invested, yol the press liberally looked to the na
tional importance of tho undertaking, nnd imparted
nil its aid. Mr. King concluded his remark*, al
ways felicitoii-, but seldom more so, with a com
plimentary sentiment to tho president nnd directors
of tho company w hose capital and onlerpriso h d •'
created tlm structure in which all were feasting.
To this sentiment Mr. Smith, of tho firm of
AVadswortli & Smith, consignees, repli il at soma
length with a great dual of enthusiasm, which was
heartily responded to. It wus not tho w sh, ho
said, of the cninpa .y to invest only British capital
in the ocean steam navigation, for they had invited
American co-eticrulion, and would now gladly wp!*v
come it. hut the embarrassment' of the times,-lur
|><oxuiue.l, Imd linen such that public attention was
turned lo what il deemed fur itself more important
affairs
"The last regular tou*t was—
" I he fair daughters nf Kvn, without them thq
world would be a wilderness."
Toss sentiment every body rexp- ndrd to, in over
flowing glasses of course, mid amid nhstrepcmua
cheer*.
These regular toasts were enlivened with songs
nnd imerl'id •*. The piece of ordnance on deck
was diicimrged ut lime.*. Music enlivened tho
whole. Mr. Horn sang *• God save the Queen" iu
hi* v«*ry best manner, w'jreh wiis rapturously ap
plaud. d. John AA*. K,|m 'I'd*, Ksq , wus called
"US iu a speech. Charles King. Ksq.. gave tha
health of Junius Smith, mi American, tho projec
tor of this enterprise, which wa- heartily drunk.
Philip Hone, E*ii-, of coin s--, was tint at fault. Mr.
J. Anchiuclos- gave as a finale. “The British
Qii.hui—never had slm more grateful rcripient* nf
her hosnitnlit'"—and the company broke up. high- '/
ly delighted with the day’s enjoyment, and witli lha
lieu w ishes for ntuny a prosperous voyage to tho
