Mr.. PoULsoN,
The conAagration of the Orphans Asy.
lum is one Of those events which strikes a
cord that vibrates through the whole com
munity. l,touches spring that immedi-
ately prompts to action, and the writer of
this notice would call upon every one that
reads it, 10 act before that impulse ceases.
1t is not, for a moment, to be supposed,
that the blackened and cracked walls OF
the Asylum are to be permitted to stand to
reproach the city of brotherly.love with a
departure from the spirit of its name; but,
on the contrary, it must be expected, that
the Managers of the Institution. the kind
earthly guardians Of this scattered flock of
helpless little ones, will appeal to their
fellow citizens to enable them again to
gather them into one fold. As this is Ger.
tainly to be looked for, let every individu-
al whose bosom "noY CLOVIS with some of
the kindest feelings Of human nature, lay
bye him as God has prospered him in bis
dealings, that when the call is made it
may be promptly and cheerfully answer
ed. To the Christian, who knows that OF
the three abiding graces, love is the great
est, would say retire for one moment to
the closet of thy heart, and listen to The
still small voice speaking there, now that
the "6re" has passed, though not near
thee; and let every one, who can say with
pagan,
81 am man and feel for all mankind.''

ANECDoTE OF A PAWNEE CHIEF.
From thu National fnfelligencer.

From the National fnfettagencef.
The following anecdote Of Pawnee
half-Chief, Ga son Of Old Knife now on
visit to this city, highly creditable to his
courage, his generosity and his humanity,
is COPIED, with leave from Rev. DR..
Morse's Report just presented TO Con.
gress by the President. The facts in this
anecdote were taken by Dr.. VI. (by per-
mis.ion) from a very interesting Journal
Of Capt. Bell, of his expedition with Maj.
Long to the foot of the Rocky Mountains,
in 1920, and are sanctioned by Major
O'Fallon, Indian Agent near the scene OF
the transaction here related, and who
commands the Indian Delegation now
here.
This Chief, of fine size, figure. and
countenance, is now about IS years old.
AT tho age of 81, bis heroic deeds had
acquired tor him in bis nation the rank OF
+" the bravest OF the brayes."* The saw
age practice of torturing and burning to
death their prisoners existed in this ma.
ton An unfortunate female taken in
war of the Padnea nation, was destined to
this horrid death. The fatal hour had ar
rived; the trembling victim, tar from her
home and friends, was fastened to the
stake: the whole tribe was assembled on
the surrounding plain, TO witness the awful
scene. Just when the funeral pile was to
be kindled, and the whole multitude of
spectators were on tb" tiptoe of expecta-
ton, this young warrior, having unnoticed
prepared two feet horses, with the neces-
sary provisions, sprang from his seat,
rushed though the crowd, liberated the
victim, seized her in his arms, placed her
on one OF the horses, mounted the othe
himself, and made the utmost speed to-
wards the nation and friends of the cap
tive. The multitude, dumb and nerve
less with amazsmcnt at the daring deed,
made no eIert to rescue their victim from
her deliverer. They viewed it as the
immediate act of the Great Spirit, sub
mitted to it without murmer, and quietly
retired to their village. The released
captive was accompanied by her deliverer
three days through the wilderness to-
wards Der home. He then gave her the
horse on which she rode, with the neces-
sary provisions for the remainder of her
Journey, and they parted. On his return
to the village, such was his popularity, no
inquiry was made into his conduct, no CEN
sure passed on It. And since this trans
action no human sacrifice has been offered
in thit or any other OF the Pawnee tribes.
The practice is abandoned. Of what in.
huence is one bold act in good causeI

| guished themselves in battle, and stand highest
in the estimation of the tribe.
