JOHNSON: Nat. Journal.-

November S, 1926. :
HIM. james Barbour Secretary Of Var.
SIR: | have delivered over to Colonel
Richard NJ. Johnson, twenty-one Choc-
taw youths, for the purpose,of educa-
ton, in conformity to the resolution Of
the Choctaw Nation to whom | belong.
| approve of this measure, because l
was educated in the bosom Of Our white
brethren, in Tennessee, & know how
to appreciate the inestimable blessings
arising from an education among them.
1t is my decided opinion, that the pro-
missing youths Of our nation should be
educated in this method, leaving the
mass of our population to the honora-
bic and benevolent exertions of the
Missionaries who are settled among us
for we acknowledge with gratitude
their pious and benevolent labours, and
nothing is intended to deprecate their
merits. l came here with high expec-
tations, from the high character we
had of our friend, Col. Johnson. But,
Notwithstanding these expectations, |
am agreeably disappointed in finding
every arrangement 10 exceed those ex-
pectations; and l feel confident that nu-
merous blessings will flow to the Choc.
taw Nation from this institution; and
consider it deserving the confidence
and patronage Of the General Govern
ment and the Choctaws. Ihave deem
ed it my duty to communicate this to
you, as our guardian and friend, under
the advice and control Of the President
of the United States.
/ have seen and conversed with the
Rev. Thos. Henderson, who has been
selected to teach them, and from my
own observations, and from informa.
ton, consider him eminently quail
fed to teach our children, and 10 form
their manners, improve their minds,
and to inculca,e the principles Of the
Christian religion.
With sentiments of great respect,
your obedient servant,
PIP PITCHLYN.

Swimming in the pure quiet air!

Thy shadow DER the vale moves slow:
Where, midst their labour, pause the reaper
AS cool il comes along the grain. [train,
Beautiful cloud!I would Iwere with thee,
In thy calm path DER land and sea,
To rest on thy unrolling skirts, and look
On earth as on an open book;
On streams that tie herrealms with silver hands,
And the long ways that seem her lands;
And hear humming cities, and the sound
Ofwaves that chase theirrocky bound.
Aye-I would sail upon the air-bome car
To blooming regions distant far,
To where the sun of Andalusa shines
On his own olive groves and vines,
Or the soft lights of Italy's bright sky
In smiles upon her ruins lie.
But would WOO the winds TO let US rest
Der Greece long fet.-rd and cpprest,
Whose sons at length have heard the call that
comes
From the old battle-felds and tombs,
And risen, and drawn the sword, s., on the foe,
Have deal; the swift and desperate blow,
And the Gilman power is cloven, s. the stroke
Hath touch'd its chains, and they are broke.
Aye, we would ringer till sunset there
Should come to purple oil the air,
And thou reflect, upon the sacred ground,
The ruddy radience streaming round.
Bright meteor! for the summer moontide made!
Thy peerless beauty yet shall fade. fold,
The sun, that fills with light each sslistening
Shall set, and leave thee dark and cold
The blast shall rend thy skirts, Or thou may'st
frown
In the dark heaven when storms come down,
And weep in rain, till mans inquiring eye
Miss thee forever, from the sky.

THE ARCADIAN QUEEN.".AN ALLEGonY.
During the happy period Of the Col
den Age, when the sons and daughters
of Arcadia were assembled to celebrate
rural festival, it was determined to E.
lect Queen, to preserve decorum and
direct the rites of the feast.
There was present, young nymph
of uncommon beauty, who had been
accustomed to associate with these
children ofnature; and for her was CIV
en- the unanimous outrage. But she
could not be preval!et upon to ascend
the throne, until venerable shepherd,
who was called the Priest of Nature,
assured them he had been taught in a
dream, that this nymEh was designed
for their sovereign; and then the blush
es that suffused her face still increased
her loneliness. The name Of this Ar
cadian Queen was Modesty. She was
believed to be the daughter of Jupiter.
and her mother, who was also Of celes-
tial origin, was called innocence. The
| air of native dignity which she inheri-
ted from the former, was softened by
the mild and unassuming graces deriv-
ed from the latter. The sceptre of her
power was blush, and the throne OF
her dominion the heart. She com.
| manded with glance, or persuaded
with a smile, and was obeyed, not thro'
fear but love. Under her government
| the feast was conducted with the ut
most propriety; for, although the mild
ness Of her disposition would not sui
fer her to inAict severe punishments on
offenders, yet such was the respect in
| which she was held in those primitive
times, that he who disobeyed her laws
| was banished from the enjoyment OF
society. But it was not only during
the continuance ofthe feast that she ex-
ercised her happy influence. AT all
times, and in all places, she was seen
mingling with these children of sim
| plicity, encouraging their innocent
| sports and deciding their controversies.
Though sometimes seen in the compa-
| my of the young shepherds, she was

Washington, March 3.-We under

Com has been sent to the Office of the
Bank of the United States, in this CT
ty, for the purpose Of paying the
Members of Congress, in order that
the benefits resulting from the Mint
may be defused through the country
as much as possible. The President
and Directors of the Bank of the Unit
ed States deserve praise for their con-
slant efforts to accommodate the COM
munity, as far as the interest of their
Stockholders will permit. Their de-
sire to do so, in this instance, has SUBJ

Fatal Engagement.-We learn by the
schooner Florida, captain Johnson, ar
rived at this port yesterday, from the
Florida Reef, that the Colombian arm
ed schooner Centella, captain Bartlett,
was blown up on the coast of Cuba, on
the 9TH inst. and the crew lost. The
only particulars we have been able to
learn, are, that when off the Moro,
she discovered Spanish corvette, from
which it was impossible to escape, un-
less by running in, or risking an ac-
ton. The latter took place, and at
the second broadside the fatal event
occurred. The Centella has been fire.
quently in this port, where most OF
her officers are well acquainted.
The French ship Point Petre, with
cotton, from New Orleans for Bor-
deaux, was lost on Florida Reef on the
9TH instant. The crew and part OF the
cargo were saved. Charleston Cour.

This arrangement cannot fail of giving sa-

ther belonging to the same line, as in this line
the passengers are conveyed through in the
same boat.
To persons having particular regard to their
own safety and comfort, this line has deci-
ded preference, as the passage in the Chesa-

ed both ways in the day time, in superior
boat, particularly constructed for navigating

The late William Gau.-We have received a note
from one of the relatives of Mr. Gait calling our atten
ton to the inaccuraCy of the term 'oucast on foreign
Shore, as applied to the circumstances of Mr. GaIt,s
migration to Virginia. The writer has done us no more
than justice, when he says 81 know you incapable of
inserting any thing to wound the feelings of Mr. Gats
relations and friends" We really had such inten-
ton, feeling nothing but the purest respect for the me-
mory OF Mr. Calf, and his surviving friends. In using
the word "outcas" we had object but to contrast
the humble condition of Mr.. Calls early fortunes with
the splendid prosperity which in the of time
attended his honest industry, perseverance and fru
gahy We did not design to insinuate by it, that his
emigration was produced by any dishonourable cause.
The writer proceeds to relate few circumstances of
Mr. Calls early ife-as that he was the son of most
respectable farmer-that he came out to Virginia at
the invitation of the firm of Henderson and Mccall of
Glasgow, IN the capacity of clerk and that yerv early
he stood high IN the esteem and confidence of gentle
