Mil0n Prophet Francis' daughter, says sue srved his life, or used such influence as she possessed to that effect, from feelngs f humanity alone, and that she would liave rendered the same service to any white man similarly circumstanced; she is, threfore, disposed not to accept his ofler o matrimony, which has been made as a acknowledgment of gratitude.

j this interesting transaction occurs in th

speech ot Mr. Storrs, in the debate on t beminole War, page 102. uWe profess," said Mr. Srnrre, "to y free government on earth -ti ercourse with foreign nations is chared by moderation and justice that ional character is beyond reproach, all we profess to be Christains.

The daughter of is chief, an artless and uneducated child the 1( ret9 w ho had never heard of the reeept. of our religion, whose only instruction had been received from that father, at the awful moment when he was ibout to sutler the excruciating death to ic indicted by savaue ferocity, this Indian girl, rushing between him and his murderts, implored his life. On her intercession w as granted the life of our fellow-man is spared. That father, who thus lisned and yielded to this supplication of .ercy, was the Prophet Francis, whom 'crural Juckson afterwards executed!

Portland Gazette. Vinci vc The Editor of the Advertiser nplains most pitcously "of one of our y papers," for publishing an extract reting upon General Jackson for executthe prophet Francis. He says it has n brought forward for the worst ofpur25 " to deceive the people, and cruelly 1 unjustly to vilify the most exalted charter in the United States." We would 2g to inquire of the Editor whether he ,inks himself able to hoodwink the people and make them believe in the correctness of his assertions? Did not General Jackson execute the prophet Francis?Was it not one of his public acts? And vall the people now be told that it is cruel .nd unjust to bring it forward? Is it for the purpose ofdeceiring'thcm t'iat they are Old of the execution of this prophet; or ould it not rather be deception on the :rt of the General's friends to keep it m the view and investigation of the pubVVe have always supposed that a man's iblic life was at all times the proper subct of examination But the Editor of the lvcrtiscr it seems would establish a new

rule. It is crusi, vilifying and unjust in his estimation to advert to kis candidate's public acts; of to publish honest strictures upon his extraordinary conduct. But the cruelty and injustice, if there beanv, lie not in the publication of this matter, but in the transaction itself. There the Editor may pour out his complaints and vent his indignation. But let him not undertake to muzzle the press, nor to hide a scene where Indian generosity was so basely and inhumanly requited. Cincinnati Gazette. Letters received at St. Louis from General Wm.H. Ashly on the 2d inst. state that three Americans (of Major Henry's party) have been killed by the Ricarees on the River Plate, and that the six men reported to have been killed some time past, were killed by a band of a well known Chief of the Ricarees.
