I'm Outrage upon the Indians---A
volume has been published, which detail.
most Infamous outrage recently prac
tised by Land Company in New York
upon the Seneca Indians. The bribery 0
several prominent chiefs was effected, il
order to induce them to part with LIANT
worth So, GOO,0OO, for little more thar
5000, 600. All sorts of tricks and devices
were resorled to, the demon of in,emper
ance was invoked, and such of the patri
otto and independent chiefs as still resis
ted, were offered considerable sums oil
money, should they yield to the Infamous
schemes of the Land Company. The
treaty framed under these circumstances
was Struggled through Congress, and
thus, the red men were cruelty and wan
tonly plundered. The pamphlet detailing
all the facts, has been published by the
Society of Friends; and it is to be hoped
that the matter will be agitated by the
press, and thus excite due degree of at
ten,ion--that the rights of the Indians
will be vindicated, and the plunderers
compelled to yield up their frandulen,lv
acquired booty.-Philad. Ing.
"REMINISCENCES OF THE LATE WAR.-
A writer in western paper, who was
a staff officer in volunteer corps, called
out by the patriotic proclamation of Gen.
Smith, gives an account of divers eau
ses, other than the love Of country, the
love of glory, or the love Of fight, which
induced men to leave their homes and
their friends for the field of battle and the
chances of war. One of those heroes
discoursed to the following effect
eff Hannah had not been so snappish,
and made me du all the miIkin tew, l
should never have been here. She told
me she guessed I'd be sorry I'd listed;
but she drove me 10 distraction. I'd
rather stand the bullets than her eternal
clatter of tongue, knives and forks and tin
things. If she is a wilder it's all her
own folt. Tell her l du dream about
her and the baby sometimes-I kalkalate
all things are foreordained to all eternity,
and if | die in fghlin, I shant have the
expenses to pay off long spell Of sick

The PERSECUTION OF THE jaws
The Boston Atlas says-The eyes Of
The Christian world have been turned
towards the war in Syria, with great So
icitude from belief that the return of
The Jews to the land of their fathers
would be, in some way, connected with
The downfall of the Turkish Empire.
Contrary to the general expectation
which has been INDUCED on this most in
eresting subject, the Turks have become,
the champions of the oppres-
sed and prosecuted Israelites. The Grand
Sultan has issued his firman, proclaiming
% all the subjects Of the Sublime Porte,
hat the Jewish nation shall possess the
same advantages and enjoy the same privi-
eyes as are granted to other nations who
submit to its authority, and that the Jews
shall be as perfectly protected and defend
I'd. The redemption Of Syria from the
Egyptian tyrant is therefore, an important
ink in the great chain of events connected /
With the restoration of the Jews to the
and of their fathers.-We shall revert to
his subject, and publish the firman of the
Grand Sul,an.-Mo. Rep.
