nong whom was myself, 10 witness the
leliverance of the Hawk to his nation
The council was opened with the address
Pf the President to Black Hawk, in
which he is informed that in future he is
10 yield supremacy to his inferior, Keo-
luck, the white mans friend.
| The old chief rose in violent agita-
ion, denied that The president had told him
3, .that he would not be advised by any
lody, that he wanted what he said to be
Did the President. and that he in person
would have so in Washington, but that his
Interpreter could not sufficiently make
loown his views.
The General made to him speech,
shting that by his own treaty neither him
O Hi-pe-pie could for the future head a
bind, and that by that treaty, Keokuck
was placed at the head of the nation, &c.
teokuck with benevolence spoke awhile
tothe Hawk; then addressed the council,
begged that nothing might be remember
et of what the Hawk said, that he was
tao old to say any thing good, and that he
vas answerable for his good behaviour;
tie poor old chief recalled his words, and
/; DO not know that my sympathies were
|, erer more excited, than in witnessing
his expiring struggle for freedom-noth-
Ing but his advanced age and want of
{. military power will prevent him from
5 making another effort. The Keokucks
t band gave us splendid dance, but the
: Hawks party were either too detected or
too sullen to participate in the festivities.

WHEAT.-We understand that Whea
has been selling at St. Louis for Sc 1 4
cents per bushel, cash. This looks en-
couraging to our farmers. Flour has beef
scarce and in great demand at N. Orleans
This is chiefly owing to the low stage o
water in The Ohio river, and should there
be no rise soon, our farmers above it
mouth may expect good market and Ii
heral prices for all their wheat.
While we regret to hear Of the shor
crops of corn in Kentucky, Tennessee ane
elsewhere, we congratulate the farmer:
of Illinois in the prospect, that they will
gather into their barns a plentiful harves
OF this staple commodity.-M Pat.
MICHIGAN RAlL.RoAD.-W learn from
a gentleman, just from Chicago, that /;
very interesting meeting has been held il
that place on the subject of the Illinois
and Michigan Railroad. The proceed
ngs of the meeting were not prepared FOL
the press, or we should have laid then
before our readers this week. We hope
to receive them in season for our mex
publication. The citizens of Chicago cal
upon all their fellow citizens in Illinois ie
do something on this Subjective will
try.
Goods had arrived at Chicago, viz
Mackinaw, from New York, in less thar
three weeks, teams were employed "A
Chicago to transport some Of these goods
to Galena.
The Treaty which was to have been en-
tered into with the Indians, on the lotl
inst. was postponed for ii few days on &C
count of the non.arrival of some of the
principal Chiefs.--M. Pat.

ment, was written by DR.. Franklin, ane

And it came to pass after these things
that Abraham sat in the door of his ten
about the going down Of the sun.

ing from the way Of the wilderness, lean
Ring on a staff.
! And Abraham aIose and met him, AM

thou shalt arise early on the morrow and

: But Abraham pressed him greatly, Sc
he turned and went into the tent, ano
Abraham baked unleavened bread ane
they did eat.
