All of them looked pale and sickly, and all of them appeared to be pining after their homes they were never more to see again, and the friends they were to meet no more. Sickness and sorrow had im
paired their looks; but still they were
spectres of beauty; and the melancholy stilness of their cells was sadly contrast ed with the roars of merriment which
proceeded from the dungeons of the ne

three others. Some of the tribe have been asked whether they regretted Seneca John's death? to which they replied "Me no sorry; he a witch; he screw us

was pale as death, and hardly seemed
conscious of her situation, while all the other girls were weeping around her and
taking their last farewell. Her new master laughed at the sad parting, and

The Militia System. The state of Del
aware has abolished their militia system
altogether. The Philadelphia Aurora
says that it is a creditable act, and we
cherish the hope that Pennsylvania and other states will follow the example. It
has been estimated that it costs the slate of Pennsylvania and its citizens, upwards of three millions of dollars annually to support the carricature of an army to perpetuate a series of periodical nuisances; to 6tandalize and bring into contempt the military art ; to corrupt the morals of the people Slc. without the least particle of benefit, immediate or prospective, to the state. The Aurora further says. "It has been established bv the concurrent testimony of most of the eminent milit iiy men of the country, that the militia laws, as universally enforced and observed, in place of promoting military science and discipline, produce a direct
ly contrary result. ISo dispassionate
person, who has ever witnessed our mi
litia musters, trainings, and battalion days, will for a moment doubt the correctness of this conclusion. As military displays, they are a ridiculous burlesque as schools of vice, deplorable: many a youth is there initiated into the practice of drunkenness, and the records of the country courts bear testimony to the violence done to morality. Insubordination, disorder, and debauchery reign predominant and uncontrolled." Self-Loading Car. The Richmond

The Seneca Indians. Lozver Sandusky July, 26. Some occurrences of an interesting nature have recently taken place on the Seneca Indian reserve, in

this county, which we shall briefly notice. The particulars, as far as we have been able to learn, are in substance as follows: It would appear that a desire of emi

to have expressed a wish on the death of the late kiog, for his relations to succeed to the throne, were put to death, as well as a long list of princes and princesses of the blood of Radama.
