Judging from the sentiments freely ex-
pressed by the newspapers of this State, a
strong solicitude is felt by the people for the
success of the Union Bank. Has it ever
occurred TO any Of the loading Van Bnren
party, that the adoption Of the Sub-Treasu-
ry scheme will be death to the hopes of the
friends of the Bank? Can it be expected
that the Union Bank will be able to prosper
and contribute to the prosperity ofthe State
of Mississippi, when opposed by National
Treasury Bank, the object of which will
he TO break down and destroy all other
banks?
The State pledges its faith for the pay
nent of Sl5 100000 of bonds, which it is
expected that the Union Bank will be able
10 provide for, bat which it can only hope to
do from its successful operation. Has il
ever occurred TO our Cotton planters tha'
these bonds are to be paid by an assess
ment of tares upon their estates, should the
General Government Treasury Bank sue
ceed in its ostensible object in breaking
down all banks?
Should the Sub-Treasury Bill become a
law, it Is believed by many who are god
authority in such matters, that the State
banks can never resume specie payments.
Have the people duly considered that IN
such an event, they may be called upon G.
ven to pay the bonds issued by the State for
the establishments of the Planter's Bank?
Are the people, and particularly the Plan
ters of this State, prepared for such results?
The Government is consummating It's un-
hallowed and runous project. BY amaJor-
ity of two woes it has passed the u. States
Senate, and now only awaits the ratification
OF the House of Representatives. 1t the
people are prepared for it with all its ruin
Gus consequences, then let them send Cla-
borne and Davis to Congress, by aid OF
whose votes the Sub-Treasury bill may yet
be passed during the present session. Let
The people think seriously of this matter.
They have much at stake at the present cri-

The question may fairly be asked why
has the discovery just been made that the
Seminoles cannot be conquered! Where
were the military experience and foresight
of the War Department and of the officers at
the scene of hosiiities, that the lives OF SO
many brave men shonld have been lost
and so vast an amount of treasure expended
in order to arrive at the canclnsion, which
the chief of the army now publishes? We
have already given the letter OF General
Jesup to the Secrtary, declaring the I'M
practicabiity of snbduing the Indians upon
their native ground, and have added the o.
pinion from the private letter OF an inieil'-
gent officer. TO the former the Secretary
has responded. The Baltimore American
affords an abstract ofa part of and the con-
cluding paragraph as fellow. 800

TOOK A SINGLE CAPTIVE.

The f,lIowing short but touching sketch
Of the death Of Chancery Prisoner, IN the
Fleet prison in London, after long and
hopeless term of incarceration. Is from the
master hand of the author of the Pickwick
papers. The s.single captive" of the au-
thor Of Tristan Shandy, can scarcely COM
peie with this eloquent sketch, IN its ap-
peal to human sympathies. We should
greatly dis;rust the heart and feelings OF

A CHAScERr PRrsoNEa.-The turnkey
led the way in silence, and gently raising
the latch Of the room-door s-entiv motioned
Mr.. Pickwick to enter. 1t was large,
bare. desolaie room, with n number OF
stump bedsteads made of iron, on one OF
which lay stretched the shadow OF man,
wan, pale, and ghastly. His breathing was
hard and thick, and he inoaned painfully as
it came and went. AT the bedside sat a
short old man in cohlor's apron, who by
the aid Of a pair of horn spectacIes was
reading from the bible aloud. It was the
Fortunate legatee.
The sick man laid his hand upon his at
tendant's arm. and motioned him to stop.

"Open the Windows" said the sick man:
He did so. The noise of carriages and
carts, the rattle of wheels, the cries OF men
and boys---all the busy sounds OF mighty
multitude instinct with life and occupation,
blended into one deep murmur, floated into
the tsmrn. Above the hoarse loud hum
arose, from time to time the bolsterous

will be recolected that we bat few weeks

Mandan Indians, numbering some three
thousand, by this dreadful and lao,hsome
