The Sea Serpent, IN vsrity.-Extract of
letter to gentleman in this city,
"PoRTLAND, July 6.
Dear Sir-1 arrived in safety this
morning, at 8, having passed an hour or
more yesterday afternoon among shoal
OF Sea Ssryopts, three Of which measured
from 80 t0 90 TO 100 or $50 feet, l dis
tinctly saw with the naked eye, and az
towards carefully examined through a
glass. They were lying full length on
the water, occasionally lifting their
heads four or five feet above the surface,
and showing twenty or thirty punches, or
snake-like undulation, at time. Their
heads bore a resemblance to the pickerel's
and the crease of their mouths, marking
the division OF the jaws, was like that OF
common snake. The engine OF theI
boat was stopped, and for three quarters
of an hour we had cool and deliberate
view Of these monsters. Such III looking
objects never beheld."
TO- Since the above was received, wei
have conversed with several people who
came up in the Connecticut yesterday,
and they state that they saw, about 10 O
clock yesterday morning, little below
. Nahant, three or four of the serpents one
of which was certainly 100 feet in length
LIBERATION OF THE SAC Prisoners
The Sac Indians who were given up some
time since to the magistrates OF Warren
county, Illinois, have been liberated, as no
bill was found against them by the Grand
Jury. Fol once, it seems, the Indians have
been the gamers by their confidence in the
e integrity Of whitemen. The prisoners were
c received, it appears. under presumption
e that they had been concerned in the murder
i of Martin; but they were presented only as
: a voluntary sacrifice, to appease the avengers
= of his blood.
: 1t is stated by the Jacksonville Banner, that
L when the agent went to Keokuck to demand
c the murderers, under instructions from the
e War Department, he informed the agent that
e they were out of his reach, but would consult
e with his tribe what course to take in the
y premises. He called them together, and
d. having stated to them that their great father
L would send an armed force into their nation
= to take the murderers, which would cause
ig strife and bloodshed, which it was his desire
e. to prevent, four young men of the tribe (thel
it who were discharged) proffered themselves
le, as voluntary offerings to appease the ven
en- eeance of their great father, and consented
TO that they should be given up to the offenders
They we're accordingly taken by Keokuck
the agent, who had them Immediately con
