Mr.. NuttaLLin his jour nal Of Travels in the Ar.
Kansas Territory. spea~lng OF the Religion OF the
American Indians, remarks:
"In no part oil America have we ever met with
that kind Of national Iordtion called ldolatry An
the natives acknowledge the existence IF great,
good, and invisible Spirit the Author Of all created
being. Believing also in the immortality of the
soul, and in the existence of invisible agencies they
were often subjected superstitious fears, and 10
the observance of onlens and dreams, the workings
of a perturbed fancy
On the subject of the introduction of Christianity
among the Indians, he observes, their jealousy of
the whites and suspicion of sinister designs render
them cold and cautious in the adoption of Christi
anty, and 1t has ever been those who have said the
least on religion, and. who, like the Quakers and the
Moravians have preached rather by their benevo-
lent example, and by the introduction Of arts that
have made the most durable and favorable itnpres.
sons on the minds and morals of the Natives.''
We may look forward to the time when the hot
springs Of the Wa,hlta shall become ne trIy as IA
NOUS as those Of Europe. We have the following
description of one of them.--"The principal loun
tain issuing from amidst huge masses of black roc
apparently bitumnous and cal areous state in thick
famine, has stream of nearly foot in diameter at
Its ori6ce, and hot enough to boil eggs or fish a
steam arises from it es from water in a state Of
ebullltion, attended with considerable discharge of
bubbles. is only after mixing with the cold water
OF the brooks at some distance from the Spring,
that it becomes of temperature in which it is pos
sble to bathe."
On the soil and climate of Arkansas he passes
the following high commentator "Under the in
fuence OF climate, mild as the south of Europe.
and soil equal to that of Kentucky, wealth will ere

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION

An indubitae instance OF sef-combusuon has
within few days past occurred in the Wooen
Mandatory at this place, by which the establish
Snent was in imminent danger of being destroyed.
A quantity OF greasy waste wool, between one and
two hundred weight, that had lain pressed together
IN bin in the garrst, was accidentally discovered to
be on hre by one OF the little girls employed in pick.
ing wool She was sitting with her back against
she bin, and happening to lean too much over the
edge of it. she felt an excessive heat, and upon
looking in discovered that the middle of the mass OF
WOOL was reduced to clear bright coal. Had !,
not been for this provdentia discovery the roof Of
the building, which was in contact with the outside
Of the mass OF WOOL must have taken fire. Tha,
part of the waste which is supposed to have caused
che fire, consisted OF the cleanings Of the cards
which was highly charged with grease The writer
feels it his duty to give publicity to this occurrence
as it may be caution to manufacturers to be upon
aher guard and not suffer greasy wool or cotton tc
remain in compressed piles in their manufactures.
lie now believes that many of the losses BY fire
tbss have been charged to incendiaries, ought more
