The Creeks, amounting to some % or $500,
including men, women, and children, reach
ed our city by the way of the Lake on Mon
day last. Until the departure of the boats,
which are to convey, them to their place of
destination, west of the Mississippi, they have
made temporary Judgment along the bank
Of the New Canal, below the basin, at the foot
Of Julia street. The excessive rains Of Mon
day night, and which continued nearly with

These Indians are not chained, as was re-
ported, but are quite at large. They do not
appear to be destitute of the proper clothing,
and are without arms. We noticed among
the group some fine looking warriors, who
with their well chiselled frames, strongly de-
yeloped muscles, dark hair hazel eyes, high
cheek bones, and noses that would rival the
Greek, in precision of outline, showed a COM
bination of manly beauty and strength, that
we have rarely seen surpassed by. the pale
faces. There are Indian dan1sels too, who
need only the habiliments and decorations Of
more refined state of society, to create no
little envy among even more polished DANES,

WilliGm d. Grey-7This young man, whom
our readers may perhaps recollect rs the one
from whom it was said Robinson borrowed
the cloak which he wore on the night of Ellen
Jewett's murder, has been lately brought be-
fore the Court of Sessions ON a charge Of
grand larceny, and sentenced to five years
Imprisonment in the State Prison, at any La
Dor the Superintendent may appoint. The
brief history of Grey is full Of deep and sol
emn interest both to young men and those pa
rents and guardians under whose care they
are placed. He came from Ohio to this city
only two years since. At that time he was a
member in regular standing of the orthodox
church in GAINESVILLE, and united with the
church in Gold street in this city, where he
was teacher in the Sabbath School, He
brought letters of recommendation to some of
the most respectable merchants, and was in
the stores of Wright and Winston, Wilbur

his life Of profiigacy We're SO great that he
was obliged, like others of the same stamp,
| to have recourse to theft and robbery in or

short in his career by the detection of hisa
gravated guilt. In TWO short years how
changed are all his prospects Then he was
respectable and happy. and bid fair to be-
come useful member of society. Noac he is
branded with the stamp Of inde1ible disgrace,
and associated in crime and punishment with
the vliest felons, :" and none So low 70 do him
reverence" q Truly it is an evil thing and d
bitter to break one of the commands of that
holy God who is of purer eyes than to behold
imquity, and will cause the transgressor to
