My Sweetest: 1 am now on my way
htne. I am glad, tur I began to he tired
of b ing stared at by the white squaws,
who, I believe, all want to marry me. 1
believe all tliis admiration is owiii" to
my having killed a few Long Knives,nnd
burnt up some of the women and children
in their wigwams, for there is nothing
tlx-se people, especially the women, run
afier with such e?ierness as a murderer.
They hunt him as we do a buffalo, and
see him hung up with the same pleasure
we do dried meat. They arc a very cu
rious peopie, and asked me many ques
tions which I answered with a lmuih.
One of the Black Coats came to convert
me; hut 1 told him, as soon as they could
nil agree among themselves, ifthev would
send me word, I would take the mutter
into consideration.
You can't think what a great man 1
have become among this people, in con
sequence of having burnt some wigwams
and killed a few Long Knives. Though
ihey boast of their power arid numbers, I
can sec plainly enough when they come
into my presence they stare like so many
stuck pigs. The Great Father at Wash
ington, was niighty civil, and made me a
lung speech, of which 1 did nut believe
one word; but 1 was even with him, for I
made him another, in which there was
not one syllable of truth. 1 believe they
think the red men are all fools, or like
some of the long oared dogs 1 see here,
who, the more you whip them, the more
they crouch and lick your hand. This
is also the eiise with the young papooses,
and from their being so frequently whip
ped, I judge, leads to their abject sul
misVton to a system of tyranny, which has
been called freedom, in order to recon
cile them to being treated like slaves.
Would you believe it, my sweetest,
neither man, woman, or child, dare do
any thing they like in this free country.
If tliev drink as much of the snirit of li-
j i
(juid fire as they like, they are put into
prison; if they kill each other, as brave
men ought to do, they are hung up by
die neck, that the white squaws may have
the pleasure of seeing them dangling in
the air; and if they are not inclined to
work, all they have to do is to starve. In
hort, they can neither eat as they please,
drink as ttiey please, dress as they please,
11(r do any thing else as they please.
And this they call liberty! I thank the
Great Spirit that I was born a red man,
nd tiiat J killed some of the missionaries
th'it enuie to make slaves of us all.
'I'hc white squaws here have troubled
mc very much, by coming in great num-
hers to make love to me. I believe I
might have married six dozen of them if
I had been so inclined; but, though ihey
wiar rings in their ears, paint their fa-
and otherwise imitate the red wo-
Inpu, I confess I did riot admire them
v,J'y much. Between ourselves, my
sweetest, they are as impudent as wild
catjS and more than once would have
stared me out of countenance, if I had
:5ot pulled out a great cloud of smoke

white squaw do nothing but stare peo
pie nut of countenance, .seeing ihey have
nothing else to do, that I can find.' Tin
men do all the work here, and y-t they
call themselves tree as well as civilized!
1 h ive been to see the great shows at
all the cities through which I passed, ami
always found that they all looked at me
instead of the show, I am convinced thai
I am a very great man, and when I get
home again I shall take care to make ev
ery body of the same opinion. I was at
a place they eall Castle Garden, which is
paved with pebbles and without verdure,
to see some fire works, which 1 thought
very good, but there was such a smell of
powder as made me fee! warlike, and I
had a mighty inclination to scalp a few
heads that stood uncovered just below
where I sal, and presented a temptation
that was almost irresitable. The fire
works, in some measure, kept them from
staring at me, for which I am much in
dehted to them. Afterwards I was invi
ted to another garden,, for they cannot
gel along with any thing here without
me, and I don't know what they'll lo
when I am gone. Indeed i have been
very much persuaded to stay among the
Long Knives and make a show of my
self, as they do of elephant and tigers.
They tell me 1 shall grow very rich by it;
but I must have some compassion on the
poor white squaws, several of whom, 1
understand, have died with gaping at
me already. There was one poor squaw
who strained her eyes so wide open to
look :it me,' that she has not been able to
shut them again ever since, and sleeps
with them open like a Mitagoackiouick.
1 have hitherto only told you of the
white squaws, although there oth r
squaws here quite black, as black as a
minx. They are as curious though
more modest than the white squaws
The black squaws, however, do not
crowd into my wigwam like the white,
nor show their admiration of me in so un
becoming a manner. Still I cannot go
out without the black squaws staring at
me, ami showing their teeth like prairie
wolves. As a secret, I tell you, dearest,
that our venerable and revered prophet,
Maxaxchitchi has taken a great liking
to these black squaws, and has deter
mined to marry two or three of them,
that he may, on his return, associate them
with him in his calling, for which he
thinks their color is very appropriate.
I could tell you a great deal more
about the absurdities and follies of these
people, who call themselves the most en
lightened in the world, notwithstanding
the superior claims of the Pottawattomies;
but just at this moment, a crowd of
white squaws are breaking in upon me.
I see I must marry a few of them, to gra
tify their curiosity. You need not be
jealous, my sweetest Dtbikit lkibis, for I
shall give them to you to fetch water and
skin buflfalos, when I have the supreme
felicity of sunning myself in the bright
rays .of thy starry peepers.
Farewell, divine spirit of moonshine.

Presidents Tour. On the Presi
dent's arrival in Boston, the corporation
of the University, through President
Quiney, invited him to visit the Univer
sity. The invitation was accepted. It
has been a custom, on the occasion of a
visit to the University from a President
of the United Slates, to confer upon
him publicly the Honorary Degree of
L. L. I). Accordingy,.as soon as if was
understood that President Jackson would
visit the University, the Corporation vo"
ted him this academical degree, and the
vote was, at an extraordinary meeting of
the Board of Overseers, confirmed.
On the arrival of the President in Rox-
bury, where he wus met by the Select
men and Committee or Arrangement?,
he was addressed by Jonathan Dorr,
Esq. as follows:
ir: In behalf of the Selectmen and
Committee of the inhabitants of Roxbu
ry, I am requested to meet you here, and
greet you with a free, frank, and hearty
we lcome. We duly appreciate your pub
lic services
And may his powerful arm long remain nerved,
Win said the UN ION it must be preserved.
To which the President made the fol
lowing laconic reply:
"It shvul be preserved, Sir, as lonp as
th re is a nerve in this arm"

in the last number of his paper, puts in
his claim lo the authorship of the very
humorous story which has been publish
ed in almost every Journal in the Union,
under the head of 'Cousin Sally Dil
Hard.1 There has been almost as much
speculation in relation to the paternity
of 'Cousin Sally,' as there was some
years ago concerning the authorship of
the Waverly Novels, and until now, as
great uncertainty about it, as there ex
ists at the present moment on the subject
of Junius' Letters. It is decidedly on

that the whole of that section of our coun
try will be subjected to its ravages. At
Tampico, Mexico, the mortality has been
unprecedented. The population of the
place is only about 3,000, and the number
of deaths in 14 days was 900. ib.

Singular Suicides. The Pittsburg
Advocate says; In a letter received by
a gentleman in ibis city, we learn the
following facts, which occurred in ihe
neighborhood of Little Beaver, in this
State. The letter states that very
singular case, or more properly cases, of
suicide, took place in this neighborhood
within a short time back. A woman,
whose name I do not now recoiled, hung
herself, with a hank of yarn her sister,
about two weeks after, followed her ex
ample, with the same hank and two or
three days since, another sister did tho
same. Ihe fourth is now kept closely
confined, her friends fearing she may
commit a similar act. Lasi fall one of
the same family hung herself, making in
all four who have been the means of th ir
own deaths, none of which can be accoun
ted for even by their most intimate
friends. They bore excellent characters,
living in the midst of plenty, and to al!
appearances were living happily.

OCTWe understand that immediately
after the adjournment of the Rail Road
Convention, on Saturday evening, the
delegates from the counties more imme
diately interested in the work, held a
meeting, at which it was determined that
proper measures should be immediately
adopted to connect this city with Wil
mington and Newbern by a rail road. It
is proposed to begin the work here, and
extend it to Wayuesborough, or to such
point, near that place, as may be hereaf
ter determined on; from which point the
road will branch, one line proceeding to
wards Wilmington, and the other towards
Newbern. Committees of Correspon
dence have been appointed in the seve

Hydro Oxygen Microscope. An ex
hibition has just been opened in London,
which combines the wonderful wilh the
instructive in an extraordinary degree.
By a very ingenious philosophical appli
cation of an intensely brilliant gas light,
the whole effect of a solar microscope is
constantly produced, independent of at
mosphere or cloud. The most minute
objects in nature are magnified many
hundred thousand times, and the most re
markable phenomena that can be imagin
ed are shown to the spectators. The ap
pearance of living animals in drops of wa
ter are enough to , convert the thirst for
that liquid into adjuration.
The Wyoming Massacre. The bones
of those who fell in the Wyoming massa
cre on the 3d of July, 1778, were lately
discovered on a plain occupied by the
village of New Troy, on ihe Susquehan
na, above Wilkesbarre. On the 4th of
June they were disinterred, preparatory
to the erection of a monument cornmem
oralive of that disastrous event. The
work for the erection of it has been com
menced, and it is expected that ihe re
mains will be deposited, and ihe monu
ment raised on the 3d of July inst. The'
number of sculls disinterred was 80, all
of which were broken by a tomahawk or
bullet, and from appearance all were
scalped,
