Is announced as the author of farther addition,

and industry, and look for something out of the
beaten track and above the flights OF common
genius. A sense of the dificnity aud importance
or teaching young children correct pronuaciaii
on OF our language. has led him TO attempt a spell
ling book, founded in principle on the simple ele

which the genius of curl language points out; and

skill OF selection and arrangement.

the skiiful economy of this judicious and benevo-

the vehicles for conveying the firsr principles of

Sac nation Of Indians, 10 the southern and
northern tribes on this side of the Missis.
sippi, and to various tribes on the west.rn
side Of the river. Tn. object of this mis-
sion is, TO engage those nations in a com.
mon cause against the Osages, who are
represented as the enemies of all the O.
ther nations of Indians. 1t is likewise
their intention to cut the whole of the O.
sages off, being deemed extremely peril
dious and vindietive to the other tribes.
and from their force capable of robbinr,
and destroying those who are compelled
To resort 10 their neighborhood in pursuit
ofgame. The gentleman who brings this
intelligence, says, il is expected tbat the
Osages in case OF attack, will apply for az /.
s'stance TO the governments of Upper Lou
is'ana by which means it is there feared,
that the United States will be induced to
take UP arms in their defence. Bait. pap.
