.Norpments of the Indians.-It appears from let
tiers lust received from the Superintendent Of lndi-
an affairs, at ST. Louis, that great council OF the
Chernkees, Deawares, Shawanees, Weas, Kicka-
poos. Piankashaws, and Peorias, residing west OF
the Mississippi, has been held; at which it was
agreed receive their Red Brethren from the
east, and to invite them to come among them as
soon as possible The subject has been in agita-
ton for about Two years meanwhile, wampum has
been exchanged In great abundance between the
tiihes east and west OF the Mississippi until at last
lie object OF both has been agreed upon, and a
deputaton is now on its way to Washington, led by
Col P. Menard, TO conclude an arrangement with
the President OF the United States for the removal
cof those indians residing The east Of the Misss
sippi. If the arrangement is made, It is not IN
likely but it may embrace he tribes in Ohio, Ind.
ana, and illinois, except The Ottawas, and lew
others, who, it is probable, would prefer TO Join
their friends west OF Lake Michigan.
Those Indians consider the step they have taken
very important one to them and look upon its
completion essential to their prosperity and hap
pness. They were very agreeably surprised on
learning what the President had said on the sub
ieci in his message Congress, at the opening Of
the session -" Our Great Father said they to
Gen. Clarke, must have been inspired by the
Great Spirit, or have studied well our miserable
situation, with view to our future happiness ia
have enabled him 10 speak to the great council 50
exactly in agreement with the wishes OF the lndi-
ans as he has in his talk to Congress-
Thus it would seem movement Is begun upon
the plan now before Congress, Tor lettering the
condition of our Indians, by Indians themsetres.
This certainly augurs fayorahy to lbs ultimate
completion. There be little doubt, from the
Of the plan. and its beneficial tendency upon
the Indians, but they viii embrace it just IN pro.
portion as they may be enlightened 10 perceive its
natural and happy effects npon their race.

FROM THE RALEIGH IN. c. REGISTER, FEB. A.
This moment is thy orn-the ne.rt as in the icon,o
lof futurity days occurrences test the truth
of this aphorism, and melancholy Illustration Of
/ it occurred few days since. An aged, venerable
couple, whose children had emigrated from ireland
to this country, stimulated by that feeling which
nature has implanted within every patents breast,
spite of poverty and age, left their native soil 10
visit their only surviving child, who is engaged as
we understand, in a thriving business at New
York.
Two Of their sons died in their adopted country s
jcause-one under General Brown, the other under
General Winchester. The SHOWS of more than
eighty winters had frosted the locks Of each, but
animated with the desire Of seeing their child, they
| determined to visit New York-but in their eager.
ness TO come, or from want of geographical know
| ledge, they sailed for New Orleans. They suHei
/ ed much from the climate and their Indulgence, but
through the kindness of individuals, they arrived
few days since far this place, IN prosecution Of
their intended journey.
! Sympathy is the product of every soil, and here
they were furnished with the means to reach War,
renlon There, kindness again alleviated their des-
titute condition, and they left Warrenton IN com
tort with letters to another good Samaritan, who IS
ever willing to pour the balm of consolation into
the wounds of suffering humanity. For some miles
before the stage reached Maj Gholson's the old
Lady appeared much exhausted, and had rested
against her husband. When the stage stopped,
Ute cas e.rtiact, and mercfu had been the dis
ptnsation that neither groan nor motion had ndica-
ted the awful moment
| The unfortunate survivor is named Montgomery,
and the brave General of that name, who fell at
Quebec, was his paterna cousin.

Ohio and Chesapeake Canal.-We have great
pleasure in announcing to our readers the fact, that
an act has passed the Legislature OF the state of
maryland, corresponding with the act of Tirginia,
Tor Incorporating Company to unite the waters of
the chesapeake with those of The Ohio. The final
vote 10 the Senate was 10 to 4-in the House of
Delegates, 81 to l6-a most triumphant majority.
Copies OF the act have already been communica-

the United States and there is 20 doubt we believe.
OF its receiving confirmation by Congress, as far as
the assent OF that body is necessary.-.Nah Intel.
