When William Penn was about to sail From England for Pennsylvania, he went to take bis leave of ifce king, and the fol lowing conversation occurred. Well, friend William,' said Charles, I have sold you a noble province in North America; but still I suppose you have no thoughts" of going thither yourself.' 'Yes I have,' replied William, 'and I am just come to bid thee farewell. , 'What ! venture yourself among the sav. ages of North America; why, man, what security have you that you will not be in their war kettle in two hours after setting foot on their shores?' The best in the word,' replied Perm. 'I doubt that, friend William. I have no idea of any security against those canni bals, but in a regiment of good soldiers, with their muskets "and bayonets. And mind, 1 tell you beforehand, that, with all my good-will for you and your family, to whom I am under obligations, I will not send a single soldier with you. -'I want none of thy soldiers, answered William. , 'I depend on: something better than thy soldiers. i The" King wished to know what that VMS. ' - ' r 'Why, I depend on themselves-on their own moral sense even oh that grace of God which bringelh salvatipn and which hath appeared unto all men.' 1 fear, friend William, that that grace has never appeared to the Indians of North America.' Why not to them as well aS all oth ers!' A": - : ; , If it had appeared to them,' said the king, 'they would hardly have treated my subjects so barbarously' " as they have done.' ., . .. That is no proof to the contrary, friend Charles. Thy subjects were the aggres sors. When thy subjects first went to North .America, they found these poor peo ple the fondest and kindest creatures in the world. Every day they would watch for them to come ashore, and hasten to meet them, and feast them on the best fish and venison and corn, which was all that they had. 4" In return for this hospitality of the savages, b.s we call them, thy subjects, term ed Christians, seized on their country and rich hunting grounds for farms for themsel ves ! Now, is it to be wondered at that these much injured people should have been driven to desperation by such injus tice; and that burning with revenge they should have committed some excesses V 'Well, then, 1 hope, friend William, you will not complain when they come to treat you in the same manner.' -I am not afraid of it,' said Penn. , 'Aye f how , will .you avoid it ? You mean to get their hunting grounds too, I suppose' V 'Yes, but not by driving them away from them.' ; ; NoX indeed ! How then will you get their lands?' 'I mean to buy their lands of them ' , Buy their lands of them why, man, you have already bought them of me.' 'Yes, I know I have, and at a dear rate too; but I did it only to get thy good will, not that I thought thou hadst any right to tbeir lands.' ;'...-'! - 'Zoands, man f co right to their lands P 'Norfriend Charles, no right at all:. What right hast thou to their lands ?'. 'Why. the right of discovery, the right which-the Pope and all Christian kings have agreed to give one another.' 'The right of discovery ! a strange kind of right indeed.; Now suppose, friend Charles, some canoe loads of these Indians, crossing the sea, arid discovering thy island of Great Britain, were to claim it as their ownand set it up for sale over thy head, what wouldst thou think of it V Why why why,' replied Charles, 'I must confess I should think it a piece of great impudence m them. " ' " Well, then, how canst thou a Christian, and & Christian Prince too, do that which 'thou 80 utterly condemnest in these people whom thou callest savages? Yes, friend Charles, and suppose again that these-Indians on thy refusal to give up thy island of Great Britain, were to make war with thee, and, having weapons more" destruc tive than thine, were to destroy many of thy subjects and to drive the rest away wouldst thou not think it horribly ' cru el' -, - -- --v ,sv v The king assenting to this with strong marks of conviction, William proceeded Well, then, friend Charles, bow can I a Christian do what I should abhor even in heathens ! No, I will not do it. But I will buy the right of the proper owners, even of the Indians themselves. By doing this Xehall imitate God himself, in bis jus tice and mercy, and thereby insure his bjessing on my colony if ever I should live to plant one in North America.' Weem's i Life of Wo. Penn. As the light of truth and science ad Yancey the character of the Indian, as well as that of Wm. Penn, shone brighter': end the policy of just and fair dealings, which Penn ever manifested towards the red men of the forest, is continually rising in the j public estimation. j While Wm. Penn was expressing his confidence in the power of justice and ben-; ificence for security among the savages, the King, doubtless, regarded him as a fanatic, about to expose himself to the tomahawk Bu events proved that Wm. Penn had more correct views of the Indian character than bis sovereign; and had the spirit and Pcy ofthis philanthropist been displayed byall the emigrants to America, how vast Wpuld have been the saving of human blood and human woe. In that case we should not hare heard so much of the bravery of our ancestors in destroying the natives; but w should have heard of deeds unspeaka bly more to their honor, and on which pos terity might have reflected without horror ora'egret.-1 j The life and humane policy of Wrat Penn in respect to the Indians, exhibits a string contrast with, the policy of Capt Smith in Virginia, and deserves the at- Lien lion of all politicians ana pnuaninro- .... pists. v -. Captain Smith, with a company ; of emi grants, came to Virginia in 1607 ; and es tablished himself at a place which was af terwards called Jamestow.n, relying upon fortresses and weapons of death for defence against the Indians. Wm. Perm came to Pennsylvania, and founded the city of Phil adelphia, resolviaeUp make no use of mil itary weapons forswfence against the na tives, believing tlRSQi spirit of peace, jus tice, and beneficence would afford more security. CapL Smith invaded the rights of the Indians in Virginia, and sought for safety m his eoldies, cannon, forts, &c , and slept only in the security of sentinels and guards. But Wm. Penn saved all this expense, and proved that a city of "brotherly love" needs neither soldiers nor cannon for its defence ; and Wm. Penn and bis followers, though surrounded by thousands of Indians, could sleep sweetly, without even bars or bolts to their doors. In Virginia the Indians were so desir ous to drive away the English, that they withheld provisions; and it was not with out difficulty that Capt. Smith could obtain food, and of 120 persons, a considerable number actuall' starved to death. But in Pennsylvania in consequence of the hu manity and justice of the governor, the hearts of the Indians were so opened that they brought in an ample supply of pro visions for himself and nearly-3,000 follow ers. Capt. Smith and his party could never venture from the fort thiough fear cf being assaulted by the Indian?, with whom they were always in "hot water," and often in bloody war. Governor Penn, with his broad brimmed hat and staff in his band, could walk through the country with safe ty ; the Indians instead of assaulting him would throng about him to shake hands, calling him brother! brother ! Wm. Penn and the Indians lived so per fectly in the spirit of brothers, that during the seventy years which he and the Friends had the rule in Pennsylvania, there was never known a single instance of murder The history of these two colonies shows with great force the fulfillment of that scripture which saith, ''he that taketh the sword shall perish by the sword !" Cap'. Smith's city, Old Jamestown, built in vio lence and blood, has been so swept from the face of the earth, that there is scarcely tombstone remaining to tell where it stood, while Wm. Penn's city, Philadelphia, es tablished injustice and brotherly kindness, has grown up to be the glory of the coun try. ; We might notice numerous instances to show that the Indian, though a savage ene my, is more susceptible of kindness and more completely made the influence of the highest and noblest feelings of the human soul, than any other people; and the strictest principles of integrity and honesty was ever manifested on their part, till the oppression of the whiles had driven them to desperation. Their ware were wars of self-defence ; they were fighting for their country, for their hunting grounds, for their homes, and for the graves of their fathers. " Bat in all their savage deeds of cruelty they were never known to molest the Quakers, being taught to reverence them; and in many instances, during the Indian wars, have the houses occupied by these peaceful Friends been left unmolested, while every other house in the settlement was plunder ed and burned. But the Indians have been overpowered by superior force, yet their magnanimous minds have never been made to yield in slavery to their oppressors and conquerors. They will face death with as much fortitude as the Christian martyrs, but their religion and their manly feelings alike defy the bonds of slavery. Their honor is like the bow that would break but not bend. But they are fast pas sing away. That proud independence which formed the main pillar of Indian vir tue, has been shaken down, and that no ble spirit and native courage has been made to cower under the superior know ledge and power of their enlightened neigh bors, and the noble characteristics of these Indian tribes are becoming forgotten by the mass of the people. It is even now scarce ly remembered that there was a time when their- forefathers owned this great land, when their seats extended from the rising to the setting sun, when all these now fertile fields were their hunting grounds. It is true, that now and then a man of ge nius touches the subject with a graceful pen, and awakens a transitory feeling in behalf of their now fading race. THE PRINCE OF WALES THRASHED. The Birmingham, England, Journal prints the following account of a flogging the Prince of Wales received from a poor boy; During Her Majesty's residence, some years ago, at Osborne, in the Isle of Wight, her children were accustomed to ramble a long the sea shore. Now, it so happened on one occasion that the young Prince of Wales met a bov who had been gathering sea shells. The boy had got a basket full. The young Prince, presuming upon his high position, thought himself privileged to do what he pleased with impunity. . So without any notice he upset the basket and shells. The poor lad was very indig nant, and observed : 'You do that again, and I'll lick you.' 'Put the shells into the basket,' said the Prince, 'and see if I don't' The shells were gathered up and put into the basket Now,' said the lad, 'touch em again, bid fellow, if you dare,' where upon the Prince again pitched over the shells. 4 And the lad 'pitched into bim,and gave him such a licking ; as few Princes ever had. His lip was cut open, his nose knocked considerably out of its perpendicu lar, and his eyes of a color which might have well become the champion of a prize ring. . His disfigured face could not long be concealed from his royal mother., She in quired the cause of his disfigurement The Prince was silent, but at las, confessed the iruth.The poor boy was ordered before the Queen. Ho was asked to tell his sto ry. He did so in a very straightforward ir anner. At its conclusion, turning to her child, the Queen said: 'You have been rightly served, sir. Had you" not been punished sufficiently already, I should have punished you severely. When you com mit a like offence, 1 trust you will always receive a similar punishment Turning to the poor boy, she commanded his parents to her presence the following moruing. They came; and the result of the interview was that her Majesty told them she had made arrangements for educating and pro viding for their son, and she hoped he would make good use of the advantages which should be placed within his reach. BOLD ROBBERYT The Lowell News says that the store of Mr. W. H. Ingraham, situated under the Town Hall, Watertown, Mass., was brok en into recently, and the valuable good3, silks, vestings and broadcloths cleared out of it This robbery was committed in a central location, much violence was used in breaking the door to pieces, two watch men are employed by the town, and a watch-house is situated in the same building, and under this very store. It is stated that land in Missouri, twen-ty-fivejniles from Keokuk in Iowa, and looking to that town for a market, can be bought for three dollars an acre, in any quantity, while land no better is worth in Iowa, at the same distance from Keo kuk, fifteen to twenty dollars an acre. U. S. ROWDIES. A day or two since, as Mrs. Spahr, an old lady, of Carlisle, Pa., was going to market, a number of drunken Lf. S. sold iers attacked her in Louther street, and commenced examining her basket, and otherwise insulting her. The old lady cre ated an alarm which brought to her aid her sons Peter and John Spahr, the latter of whom is the High Constable of the borough. They attempted to drive them away, but the soldiers made fight, and a considerable skirmish ensued. Constable Spahr received a severe blow on the hand, when he drew his revolver and fired sever al shots at the assailants, neither of which, however, took effect, but caused the sol- diers to retreat.

PROSPECTUS OF THE " SOUTHERN SENTINEL," A Democratic and Miscellaneous Journal, to be published tceekly, at llllson, IV. C. THE existing condition of political parlies, and of partizan strife, naturally suggests the estab lishing of such a journal as the "Southern Senti nel" proposej to become. The present, indeed, is a criais in our political history, never witnessed be fore. The Constitution has bven invaded ; the laws trampled and spat upon ; religious liberty assailed ; ballot boxes broken and burnt ; the landmarks of our political ancestry partially effaced ; the wis dom derived from a time-honored experience un seated; strange and questionable mvn have been pushedimo high positions ; and ianatici.-m, unchai ned from its axe and its faggot piles in the North, is heard to howl among us in the South. These evils, sofar as it humble abilities shall serve, THE SOUTHERN SENTINEL Will endeavor to arrest. It will endeavor to incul cate a reverence for the laws as they exist, and for the Constitution, as it has been interpreted by the wise men ot the past and by the Fathers of the Democratic faith. It will defend not only political but religious liberty, and will do battle apainst ev ery political heresy that may appear, whether hatched in caves or culverts, or open convention. The Sentinel will also, to relieve the monotony of politics, devote space to literary topics, original and selected, as well as to miscellaneous subjects, which shallinclude Agricultural and the lalebt Com mercial intelligence. In brief.no efforts nor ex penses will be spared to make the Sentinel one of the most useful and efficient journals in the south. The first number of the Sentinel will be issued about the first-of the next month, and sent to sub scribers at the 'rate of 92 per annum : 82 50 at the end of six months, and i'i at the end of the year. Discount made In behalf of clubs, who shall take five, ten or more copies. J. F. KEENAN, Editor. Jan. 17. 130-3t JUST RECEIVED.

April 0. 10 Then tlelleetual Vigor of a People is indicated by the Character of ila Literature." THE CRITERION; i LITERARY AND CR1TIC1L WEEKLY JOURNAL, 16 pages, 4to. WAS commenced on the 3d of November, 1855, and has thus far received very general appro bation. Anxious to extend its influence, and place it upon a substantial basis of support, the Publish er desires most earnestly to direct the at tention of the thinking public of America to its claims upon their consideration. The mnin feature of the CRITERION is its Re views of Current Literature. In this department are given thorough and able criticisms of sll the most important Books as they are issued, pointing out . their chief characterises, and indicating their moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers informed of all new publications which deserve their attention. It also contains Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary World, Gossip concerning Books and Writers, Announcements of contemplated Publications, and Lists of New Books issued in A merica and Enrope. The Drama, Music, Fine Arts, and Science, alo receive attention, and several columns of carefully selected and agreeable matier are given in each number. In addition to the above there is a de partment of Miscellanea for reading of an enter taining character, carefully selected from new books and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection ot tVotes and Queries, which contains a great variety of carious and valuable information. It is confidently believed that a journal such as the CRITERION carmot fail to have a good effect upon our national literature, and to some extent upon fur national chiracter. It will be found es pecially valuable in directing the attention of youth to works of real excellence, and encouraging an appreciation for valuable reading, which is twins: rapidly destroyed by the circulation of superficial and sophistical books. To the reading man the literary intelligence alone must render it very de hirable ; and to all who wish to promote an improve ment in taste, the encouragement of merit, and an uncompromising condemnation of vicioua style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an enter prise cannot at least, should not be indifferent. To members of Historical, Literary and Scienti fic Societies, Lyceums and Debating Clubs, the subjects discussed in this paper will at all times prove of peculiar interest, and it is the design of the editors to thoroughly canvass from time to time those important philosophical questions which agitate all inquiring minds, correcting false theo ries, andencoarasing profitable investigation.
