Another abusive Oppression Heartless Cruelty to the Emigra ting Creeks. There are now no less than 14,000 ( reek Indians on their way or already arrived at F ort Gibson. They are removed by a company of contractors, who receive so much a head on deliv ering them to the government of firers at the posts. The Arkansas Gazelle, ediled by T. J. Pew, has the candor to acknowledge thai the contractors turn this business into a source of speculation, and hurry on ihe Indians in masses without extending to them, louse lite editor's language, "ihe indul gence of lime that common hu manity tequires." The corres pondent ol the editor then draws the following picture of horror, the details of which are enough to curdle the blood of the most mar ble hearted, and mantle the cheek of their white oppressors wiih! eternal shame: 'io portion of American histo ry t an iiirnth a parallel ol the' misery anu suneriiig at present endured by the emigrating ('reeks. They consist of all ages, sexes and sizes and of all the varieties of hu man intellect and condition, from the civilised and tenderly nurtured matron and misses, to the wild savage, and the poorest of the poor. Thousands of them are entirely destitute of shoes or covering of any kind for the ieet; many of them are almost naked; and but few of them have any thing more on their persons than light dresses, calculated only for the summer, or for a very warm climate; and the weather being warm when they left Alabama, many of them left their heavier articles of clothing, expecting them to be brought on in steam boats; which has as yet been ottly partially done. In this destitute condition, thev are wa ding if te cold mud, or are hurried on over the Irozen ro3tl, as the case may be. Alany of them have in this w ay had their feet frost bit ten, and being unable to travel, fall in the rear of the main party, and in this way are left on the road lo await the ability or con venience of the contractors to as sist ihem. .Many of them, uot being able to endure this unexam pled state of human suffering, die, and it is said are thrown by the side of the road, aild are covered only with brush, &c. where they remain, until devoured by the wolves." The public are called upon as an act of pity and common charity to contribute coarse gowns, shirts, coats, pantaloons, shoes, &c; w hich, if given during the winter, might be the means of saving ma ny lives. Leaving home before the stipu lated time, thev have many of them sold their lands at a great sacrifice.

By a slip of the Courier de la Louisiana, (New Orleans,) to Jan.22d, the Courier of this morning has.accounts from Texas stating that several murders had been committed by the Indi ans in the vicinity of the Cross Timbers, which had occasioned so much alarrii at Nacogdoches, (on the disputed Territory.) thai the inhabitants there had solicited General Arbuckle,w ho had retired with the U.S. troops to Fort Je sup to return. The country between the Neu ces, Angeliue and Sabine rivers, had by this movement been left defenceless. The population ol this tract on the disputed Territo ry consists of about 30,000, who are in some measure inoffensive and ueutiai. . Gen. Felix Houston writes that his army are in fine condition and spirits, and that he had made a reeonnoisance as far as San Pat ricio, and carried off a great quan tity of wild cattle, as well as de stroyed all the habimtions, Mexi can Texian, on the Neuces. The advanced guard of the Mexican forces, (a detachment of cavalry,) was at Camargo. Gen. F. Hous ton is confident of success should the Mexicans invade, but urges the friends of Texas at New Or leans to send on volunteers, sta ting among other inducements that the Texian Government will now have at their disposal no less than the additional quantity of sixty millions of acre of land. The T exian force is 1500 regu lars, and 4000 militia riflemen. The struggle will be at the Colo rado.

The wes tern papers have for some time past spoken of the ruins of a buried city, recently discovered in Ouis consiu Territory on the west branch of Rock or Craw fish river. We have not yet seen any positive or authentic statement of this Anti quarian curiosity, but give the de tails as published. 'l itis ancient metropolis of a by-gone woVld is said to consist of brick w alls, from 4 to 5 feet high, and nearly 12 feet thickness at their base. At regular intervals of five rods, mas sive buttresses support those ram parts, which circummured a city of nearly three miles, in an irregu larly oblong spuare. The re mains of five large buildings are enclosed within this space, and nearly fifty others of smaller si2e, may there be found. The walls, as defined in the unpretending ketch to which we allude, are in '-Miglh on the north, one hundred rods: on the east, fifty five; on the 'St forty five. The remaining nmindary has not been accurately traced. From an inscription oh a rude portal of the ciiy, it was found that its name was Aztaldn. A frightful invention. A Mr. Iiobert McCarty, or Buffalo, fabri cian in the gun line, believes he has driven the Green Mountain Boy, Cochran's famous invention, hors du Combat. He throws from 3 lo 500 one pound ball from his rifle per minute, without powder or steam! He can do the same with a 30 pound ball a complete portable battery! We guess Mr. McCarthy would flinch a little before Cochran's many Chambered contrivance, supplied a it now is with cartouch boxes of loaded cylinders. What can b? Mr McCarthy's propelling principle gas, or a vacuum, or peradveniure electro-magnetism. JV. Y. Star. Arson and Murder. The Mon mouth Inquirer of yesterday say$: An individual named John G. Tay lor of Middleton township in this county, ivas lodged in our jail on Sunday last, charged with having murdered an individual named William James a foreigner and boarder in the house at the time, by culling his throat and then set ting tire to the house and burning up his mother, Mrs. Taylor. No other reason is assigned for the committal of this diabolical act, than dissatisfaction in the di vision of the property on which the outrage was committed. No four eaten here! The good people of Marblehead, Mass. have got up a subscription paper the subscribers to which agree not to us wheat flour or bread, unlil ihe price of flour is reduced to $8 per barrel, and then the barrel to be of full weight! It is their in tention to follow the example set by our sires in 1773, when it was written over the doors of the Whigs, 'No tea drunk here," and emblazon over their doors 'No flour eaten here." CCThe rumor that about for ty persons were arrested al Buffa lo for forging and passing spuri ous money, which we published from the Mercantile Advertiser a few days ago, the Buffalo Journal says not true, although a few per sons have been arrested on the charge. ft7A ridiculous attempt is be ing made in the New Hampshire and Virginia Legislature, to drive the old bachelors into matrimony, by imposing a tax upon them after the age of thirty, the proceeds of which are to go to the support of orphan children, who are to be superintended by maiden ladies over 45. Dreadful Accident. TUeTroy Budget states that fifteen boys, while skating in that vicinity, broke through th ice, and that nine of them w eie drowned.

A Valuable Wife. Before the Circuit Court, sitting at Wash ington, D. C. William Henry Weston for shooting his wife was brought op to be sentenced, but was granted a new trial. In clai ming it, he stated that his wife had several times threatened to take away his life and had carried a loaded pistol about her for that purpose. He said that on the dav the assault was committed by him, he had been compelled to take out a peace warrant against her, which was issued by n magistral then predentin Court (Mr. Thomp son.) The prisoner said his wife had indeed been well described by a respectable witness as "a devil incarnate," which ahe certainly was, as she had said she would plunge herself into hell torments lor the purpose of revenge. Mere judge Morstll told the prisoner that although the witness had given ihe prisoner's wife a had character, ihe witness had not given him, the prisoner a much better one. r The brisoner said that tvas all calumny. If permitted lo have a new trialj he would prove that hi wife had robbed him, and that she had threatened his life. He had not intended to shoot his wife, but1 finding, when he saw her at Mr. Urummond's, that she had a pistol in her handj and was going to fire at him, he took out his pistol for self-defence, and it w ent' off acci dentally Ludicrous scene.r The Boston Traveller relates the following: A singular scene occurred yester day in the Artists' Gallery, during an anti-slavery meeting. Mr Staunton, who was addressing the numerous assemblage, felt a sud den affection of the lungs, ai d was obliged to suspend his remarks by reason of coughing. The pro pensity seemed contagious; imme diately great numbers of ihe au dience set a sneezing and cough ing; a rush was made for ihe door, and ihe meeting was completely broken . up. On examination, it appeared that some mischievous person had sprinkled cayeuue pepper on the heated stove in the room, which soon infused its ster nutatory powers among those pre sent. itaincr aevere. Mr. josepn Vose, of Boston, second officer of engine 2, and a married man oC good character, (so proven.) was fined $10 and costs by the Police t otirt of that city, last week, on suspicion that he had attempted to steal a ham from Faneuil Halk market. Vose said he picked up the, ham from the walk in ihe cen tre of the market, and was in thet act of laying it on one of the. stalls,, when one Watkins, w ho kept near halloed at him, and accused hi in of attempting to steal it.. It's but a short lime since two men came near being hanged in Boston for the . charitable act of pulling a drunken man out of the dock they being accused of an attempt upon his life; and this seems to uS like a similar case. i r ' i The American Prisoners at JSlatamoros. Some of these pris oners, wito were captured during the Texian war, made their es cape on the 7th December, and were met by 20 Cherokee Indians, who whipped them and brought them back. These Indians, of whom there are about 400 iti Mexico, are employed as spies by the Mexican Government. These prisoners have been treated with great cruelty, and been entirely sustained by the charity of ihe for eigners ihere. fXA wag of Lowell reqnests the author of the "Three Experi ments," living up to the means living with the means, and living bevond the means to add anoth er chapter, and tell us how to livo without the means. flA curious antipathy exist between the cabbage an! the vine, so that if the former is planted near the latier, it immediately retires or perishes.
