The Dedham Register gives an account of the
death of an individual from the smoke of lamp,
which was moi properly trimmed. 1t is a fact pro-
badly not known TO many persons who use lamps.
that when trimmed property, they never emit any
perceptibe smoke, and that when any smoke is vsi-
BILE, it is certain proof that the wick is too high,
and that the atmosphere about it Is becoming rapid
ly filled with particles of SCOT, most injurious to the
lungs, and to the eyes of every who breathes it.
The proper rule for adjusting the wick, is to raise
gree of flame, without the least visible smoke.

MAGNANIMITY!m!- Gibson-At the
close of the Seminole war the Indians, routed
and dispersed, sought safety in flight One Of
the chiefs, approaching the river Appallachico
Ia perceived vessel bearing the British flag,
and went on board for safety from his pursuers
not doubling the supposed character and hos.
nitality Of the vessel. Hardly had the unfor-
tunate chief asscended the deck, when he was
s-ized and run up to the yard arm. Thus fall
ling victim to the stratagem Of Gen. Jackson,
who had ordered the use of the British flag
to decoy and cnsnare his retreating foe What
shall we saw of an American General who did
not hesitate to employ the flag of a nation in
amity withus, nor disdain to resort to the cru
el article here described, to lure his vanquish
ed enemy in to his power, and then sacrifice
him. Compare it with oondu' t, so opposite and

A Spaniard having killed a Moor; was pur-

house of Moorish chief, and relating to him
the cause Of his flight, besought his protec>
ton. Shortly after his pursuers came up, bear

inevitable. The unhappy parent wcpt over the
BODY Of his fallen son, refreshed himself, and
al the hour of midnight repaired to the apart,

thus addressed him: The man whom you have
killed, is my son; he was dear. to me; in an e.
vii hour you smo,e kim, and flying to me

seek not revenge; God is just! so; there Is my
horse; he awaits you without the outer gate,

the voice of his generous protector, and the
impulse of nature, fed in safety to the arms of
his countrymen!!! Z. Is.

WAR AG AIN.

VandaEa, Sep. BY Col. Field, who arrived
at this place on Wednesday evening" last, from
Fever River Lead Mines, we learn that before
his departure from that plscea letter was re-
ceivcd from Gen. Atkinson dated at Prairie du
Chen, Goth August, enclosing letter from
Governor Cass aud +. l.. M'Kenney, United
States Commissioners for holding a treaty with
the Indians at Green Bay. Messrs. Cass and
Mckinney state ,ha! they could effect nothing
by counciling with the Winnebagoes; tina, no,
one fourth of the tribe attended, and that those
who did attend, refused TO give up the perpe-
traitors Of he mr rider al Prairie du Chen, and
those eng aged in the attacks OF the contractors
boats descending the river from ST. Peters,
They further remark that Shambiy, the Chief OF
the Otoways, had been among the oattowato,
mics, and reports 10 the commander at Chica-
go, that the Pattowatomics and Winnebagoes
were making preparations fer war, by secreling
their women and children, and preparing pro-
visions for campaign Messrs Cass and Nc
Kenney Informed General Atkinson that no
terms could be made with the Winnie bagoes,
and advised him to march immediately, fearing
that an attack would be made on the miners at
Fever River. The letter bears the date of Au-
gust 18th.
General Atkinson accordingly marched with
600 men from the Prairie on the 29lh ult. Gen.
Whitcsides and Colonel Dodge on the same
day marched from the mines, with $50 mounted
men. Two hundred men from Green Bav, with
100 Menomiries, were 10 leave Green BAY, on
the 18Th August for the portage between the
Ouisconsin AMI Fox rivers, where the whole
body Of troops were 10 rendezvous. An attack
will then he made upon the hostile Indians, and
from the force employed, we cannot hut antici-
pate speedy settlement of our Indian Difficult
ties. The council at Green Bay was to be
closed OH the 18th August.
