The ORANGE TRoor.--This fine com
pany. consisting Of some forty members,
formed in the Ilaw River Regiment, in
this county, and commanded by Captain
Docton nickcy, accompanied Gen. Tro-
lingcr through his whole tour OF duty, in
his review of the division Of North Caro-
lima Militia under his command, TO which
it impaired an unusual degree Of inie-
rest. Their appearance in this place on
the evening Of the 22d ult., with their
handsome uniform and complete equip
mcnts, their fine horses and train Of bag
gage wagons, and m liuny hand, created
quite sensation, and set our people to
gazing with wonder and admiration On
the following day they escorted the &C.
neral and his Staff TO the field, in fine mi
litary style. We had not the pleasure OF
witnessing their cvolutions while out; but
VIC understand they were executed with
much skill and precision, and would have
done credit to a much older company.
We cannot refrain from expressing our
qualification at thus Witnessing the tacili-
ty with which the sturdy woman Of our
country can be mctamorphosed into the
soldier, with all his virtues abiding with
him. II infuses into our hearts new
sense of the security of our liberties, when

INDIAN PARADISE.

The doctrine Of lite beyond the grave, was
among all the tribes of America most deeply
cherished and sincerely believed. They had
even formed a distinct idea Of the region with
err they hoped to be transported, and of the new
and happier mode Of existence, free from those
| wars, torures, and. cruelies, which throw so
dark shade over their lot upon earth. Yet
their conceptions on this subject were by no
means either exalted or spirilualized. They ex-
pected simply prolongation OF their present
life and enloyments, under more favorable cir
cumstances, and with the same objects furnished
in greater choice and abundance. In that
brighter land the sun ever shines unclouded, the
forests abound with deer, the lakes and rivers
with fish benefits which are farther enhanced
| in their Imagination by faithful wife and dut,
full children. They do not reach it, however,
till after a. journey of several months, and en-
countering various obstacles-a broad river a
chain Of lofty mountains, and the attack of
| furious dog. This favored country lies far in
the West, at the remotest boundary of the
earth, which is supposed to termidate in steep
precipice with the ocean rolling beneath. Some
times, in the too eager pursuit Of game, the spi-
rts fall over and are converted into fishes. The
local position Of their paradise appears connect
ed with certain obscure limitations received
from their wandering neighbors of the Missis-
sipp, the Rocky Mountains, and the distant
shores Of the Pacific. This system of belief
Iabors under great defect, inasmuch as it
scarcely connects felicity in the future world
with virtuous conduct in the present. The one
is held to be simply continuation of the other,
and, under this impression the arms, ornaments,
and every thing that has contributed to the wei,
fare Of the deceased are inferred along with
him. This supposed assurance Of future life,
so conformable to their gross habits and concep-
tons, was found by the missionaries serious
obstacle, when they attempted to allure them by
the hope of a destiny, purer and higher indeed,
but less accordant with their unutored concep-
tons. Upon being told that in the promised
world they would neither hunt, eat, drink, nor
marry wife, many Of them declared that, far
| from endeavoring TO reach such an abode, they
would consider their arrival there as the great
est calamity. Mention is made of a Huron girl,
whom one of the Christian ministers was en-
deavoring to instruct and whose first question
was, what she would find to eat2 The answer
being Nothing" she then asked what she
would see and being informed that she would
see the Maker of Heaven and Earth, she ex-
pressed herself much at a loss what she could
have to say TO him Many not only rejected
this destiny for themselves, but were indignant
at the efforts made to decoy their children, after
death, into so dreary and comfortless region.

GREENLAND FISHING BoATs.-The only thing
in which the Greenlanders manifest much skill
is in the structure and management of their
boats, the kayak, or boat for one man, and the
oomak, or women's boat, both formed of light
framework Of wood, covered with ealskin.-
The latter is usually about "a feet long and S or
6 feet wide, though some are built nearly half
larger. The covering consi is of sixteen or
twenty seal-sklns, saturated with blubber, and
thoroughly dried. Neither nails nor spikes are
used IN their construction, the whole being fas-
tened together by the sinews of the seal, and
their entire strength consists in their elasticity.
They are fat-bottomed, and only fitted for
calm sea, as stiff breeze or heavy swell is
sure TO capsize them. The ice is also apt to cut
the skin by which they are covered, when the
natives repair the damage by stufing the hole with
blubber, or draw them upon the shore, and sew
patch on the place which is soon accomplish
ed, as two persons can easily carry one of them.
They are rowed by four or five women and,
with full cargo on board, can accomplish 80
miles or more in day; though on long voyages
one cannot reckon on more than 20 or "a on an
average, as every fifth day the boat must be
taken out of the sea, 10 allow the skin, now sat
uiated with water, to dry. The former-the
kayak, or mans boats from twelve to fourteen
feet long, about eighteen inches wide, formed of
wood and whalebone, covered above and below
with skin, and seldom weighs over twenty or
thirty pounds. In the middle is an opening, sur
rounded by hoop, in which the Esquimanr
slime. and dra ur;nr k;s on.l -l-,~ nIaal tighs
round il, renders the whole impervious to
water. There is only one oar, six feet long,
with thin blade at each end, fenced with bone
In this frail bark he fears no storm, floating like
sea-bird on the top of the pillows, or emerging
from beneath the white waves that dash over
his head. Even when upset. he rights himself
by stroke OF his oar under the water but il
this is lost or broken, he is certain TO perish
Few Euro cans ever learn 10 row the kayak,
and many of the natives can never attain sufh-
cient skill to regain their equilibrium when over

The HuDsoN BAY ISDIANs.-The Chin.
hooks, whose bunting grounds are on the north
side of Columbia river, are rather slightly built,
OF the middling stature, and in features some
what efeminate. Their dress consists general
ly of blanket, though sometimes they wear a
shirt, and even trousers. The women wear a
blanket and sort OF kilt, made Of rushes or
wool, which reaches TO their knees. They have
their ears pierced, as well as the septum Of the
nose, through which they put by aqua, small
shell, which they consider great ornament
This nation has a practice OF modifying the
form Of the head dress during child-rear-
ing. The teeth Of the aged people are worn
so much as TO be but lille raised from the
surrounding gum, which is attributed 10 the
grinding power Of the sand which is contained
IN their chief food-dried salmon. This parti-
cular state OF The teeth is almost exclusively
confined TO this nation. The Indians in the
neighborhood Of Vancouver and Cape Disap-
pointment are now but few in number, very ma
ny having died from fever said TO be peculiar
10 that part Of America. When suffering from
fever they are in the habit of jumping into the
river 10 cool themselves, and when the cold tit
seizes them they enter small hut, prepared
with some large pebbles made hot. and vessel
OF water BY placing the stones in the water,
steam is generated in large quantities, in the at
mosphere OF which they remain until the return
Of the fever.
Along the banks Of the Columbia are TO be
seen numbers Of canoes containing the bodies
Of diseased Indians, and on a small rocky island
10 the centre of the stream very many bodies
have been deposited This native cemetery
bears the appropriate name of Coffin island In
former times il was customary for the Chin
hooks TO sacrifice slave on the death of chief,
but, with them, this practice has long since
ceased, though it is still practised by the more
northern Indians The principal food Of the
Chnnooks is salmon, but they occasionally sub
sist on venison, sturgeon, and wild fowl, and
when pressed by hunger, on roots and berries.
The Fraser'sriver natives, who obey fine
specimen Of wild humanity as their chief, pro-
pagate species Of wolf dog, which periodical
ly produces them a crop Of long white hair,
which is shorn of, as in case of sheep elsewhere.
This is manufactured into blankets, the employ
ment of the women. They also use the wool
of the mountain goat for the same purpose
