C?" L. Junius BnuruS is assured that we wish a personal interview not lor the purpose of knowing him, (although thit would certainly be a gratification) but to induce him to correct the acidify of some parts of his letter. We think public justice is satisfied, and although many disagree with us on that point, we are loth to give up our opinion. II reminds us of a person o'i Fort Harrison Prairie, who, not contented with conquering a wolf absolutely and literally fiay'd him alive. If he does not think proper to oblige us, we shall use our prerogative. " A Letter found in Market Street," is under consideration. ! S O vm The three Indians, JCillbuck, Panther and Tom, who killed Mr. McCall in March last, were arraigned at the bar in Palestine- last week. We have been able to obtain no positive account of the proceedings in their -case. We can only jiive the substance of the floating rumors oftlie day; and we hope it is incorrect, for the sake of public justice, and the credit of the civil authority in Illinois. We have heard from various sources that the jury found the three Indians guilty of murder. That a motion for a new trial succeeded in favor of Panther and Captain Tom, who were again tried and acquitted. ICillbuck was sentenced to he hung on Wednesday last, hut not liking that mode of dying, on Tuesday night he left his guauls. and walked off after his brother. We hope immediately to receive a more accurate account of this shameful business ; and sincerely wish the transaction may be satisfactorily explained.

This truly original and valuable work is about being printed in a manner which will render it more portable and convenient, and at a price suited to the capacity of every reader. This story is no romance : it is a coirect detail of remarkable events, and a relation of wonderful vicissitudes. Before reading it, we had no idea of the amount of suffering which the human frame could bear, before the last vital spark would be extinguished. Cant. Riley and his companions, passed through horrible sufferings in their captivity with the descendants of Ishmael ; in many parts of their bodies the flesh was wasted, and the skin parched and worn oif from their bones, which were white and dr like the bones on the Desert. Vet the protecting hand of a special providence is certainly visible in all their perils, from the murder of old Antonio on the shore, to the smoothing of the sea among the breakers, as well as from their miraculous preservation and landing, to their captivity on the Desert with all its miseries, their detention by Scheik AH, aud their reception at last at the house of the amiable Mr. Willshire, the English consul at Swcarah. We know ot no new book we can with more earnestness recommend to the attention of our readers: we recollect of reading none which excited such sensations ; and none which more closely riveted our atten-

It was first published in large octavo, at I S-J 0. At this price several editions, of j thousands each, have been rapidly sold. The proposed edition will be an eract copy of tho last octavos, compressed into a duodecimo. Rein specially authorised to receive subscriptions, persons expecting copies will not be disappointed; and bt-in so se- , ducci in price, no reading family" in the ! West should pass next winter without one of them. j f&&WFfmYtx
