STATE PR,soN, April 81, 1S4I.
Gentlemen and fellop citizens Of Arkan-
saS.-I will give you all TO understand that
| have made my elopemcnt, and give you
my reasons for SO doing, and hope you
wont blame me. The President is dead,
and there is poor prospect of my being
pardoned by the Vice President, being he
is not a military man; and don't think ]
deserve to die lar this act Of indiscrelon.
If had done this far malicious animosity,
| would not have SAID one word against
tho verdict, and you cannot blame me. l
intend never to show my face to white
man again as long as live. If get clear
1 Twill go amongst my Indian brethren in the
prairies, :he Cumanches, Pawpees, Kio-
was aud Toweaskies, for can speak their
languages very well, and if l can get 10
them before I am taken, may be. of some
service to the United States, for Twill keep
them from committing depreda,ions on the
frontiers and traders, and try TO mako them
work for their living and bo hohcst.
am very we'll equipped for this cxpc-
dilion; have rifle, a brace of pistols,
bowie knife and plenty Of ammunition; a
frst-rate horse, saddle and bride, and
some money to take me through the Choc-
law Nation, and if | get through Lam safe.
for am not afraid of the Indians. If |
can get to old Tabbaquena, the Cuman-
chez war chief, am at home, for he
wanted me to go with him the last time |
saw him, and said he would give me his
daughter, and now is my time. shall be
at loss for nothing but tobacco. o, i'll

may think it strange that | should flee 10
them for protection, but to tell the rath.
they are the mostfriendly human on earth,
when they take notion to any person,
and they would lose their lives for you.
For the Lords sake don't advertise me,
OH account of my mother, and let me go
in peace aud will not bother any of you
any more. | warn all men from using
malt liquor, for you see what il has brought
me to; on account of that have 10 flee
TO savages for protection.
Gentlemen, have one friend in Arkan-
sas, unknown to any person here-"a
friend in need is a friend indeed" If am
pardoncd, it is so much the better, aud

come back, and if not won't. 1t will be
no satisfaction to see me hanged like a
dog. Let me go in peace aud harmony.
Nothing more, than am your friend un-

The ,eay TO break dozen press.-Il has
been justly asserted that an independent
press rests on tirmer basiss'for: support
than one Of a contrary charncter.. and III
has been supposed difficult lo:break down
such a press. There is way, in:wbich it
can be done, however. And how does the
reader think this work can be accomplish
ed! By the telling of all sorts 6flies con-
cerning it and its editor? No. BY threats!
No. BY getting hireling for the special
purpose Of writing it down! No. BY the
misconduct of unpriucipled political post
masters No, reader, but this is the Sc
cret: Let large number of its subscri-
bers conclude that because the business is
good, the editor is not in want of the little
sums they severally owe; let its friends
habilually delay the fulflment Of their
promises and contracts with the editor, and
the most prosperous establishment in the
world must como down at last:

hereby certify from personal observation,
that The water Of the Abbcville Mineral Springs
is singularly serviceable in all cases of chrome
inflammation and glandullr distractions. 1t
does not appear to possess any highly stimula-
ting or directtonic properties, but impur,s tone
to the whole system indirectly by its wonderful

tent to the Springs who was reduced very low
by uterine obstruction aud chronic inhamma-
