CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

"The celebrated John Randolph

her surrounded with her seams

clothing. "What work have you

this clothing TO send to the poor

steps ofthe mansion, he saw acme ol
her servants in need of the very

claimed, "Madam, madam, the Greeks

publican remacks:-
Here Tas administered a delicate,
yet well merited rebuke to that long
sighted benevolen"e which sweeps the
distant horizon for objects of compass
sion, bot is blind as a bat TO the
wretchedness and destitu.ion a5oun-
ding at its own doors. How spurious
is that philanthropy Of modern days,
which requires grand stage effect be-
fore it can be brought into exercise,
that gad-about benevolence, which
some one has likened to that sort of
Pitiful ostenseaioH which induces an
Irish gentlemen TO ask every body he
meets to dinner, when he has not
dinner enough for hts own family at
home. 1t is to this exclusive human
ity-this trans-marine beneVolence,
that we owe the industrious efforts of
so many in this country and across the
water who take into heir.select sympa-
thies the miseries Of our coIored pop
ulation and who,, while the severest
distress remained unreIieved at their
own doors--whiie their fellow coun-
trvmen are starving at their very gates,
walk to the other end Of the earth in
search offoreign wretchedness.
OF these peoples charity it cannot
be alledged like that Of "Joseph Sur

that it is Of that demostic nature that
it never stiIs abroad, it is never any

kingdom for Stage To it we are
indebted for "World invention So

tbropy which casts about for exotics,
to the utter neglect Of its own indigen-
Gus sufferers.
Extensive benevolence is the last and
the most perfect fruit of charity al
home SO that to expect to reap the for
mer from disdain of the latter, is to op'
pose the means to the end, and IS as
turtle as to hope to arrive at the sum

A SECOND POCAHONTAS.s'

SECOND PoCAHONTAS..a
The Committee on Indian Affairs,
in the late House of representatives,
reported bill allowing a pension fol,
life to Milly. an Indian woman, of the
Creek tribe, daughter Of the celebrated
prophet and chief Francis, who was
executed by order of General jack
son, in the Seminole war of 1S17-'1s
The subject was brought to the notice
of the committee by the Secretary Of
War, at the instance of Lieut.. Col.
Hitchcock, who communicated the
particulars of the incident upon which
the Recommendation to the favor of the
Government was founded. "-i
Milly, at the age Of sixteen, when
her nation was at war with the United
States, and her father was one of the
most decided and indefatigable enemies
ofthe white people, saved the life Of
an American citizen, who had been
taken prisoner by her tribe. The cap
tive was bound to tree, and the saw
age warriors, with their rifles, were
dancing around him. preparatory to
putting him to death. The young Inc
dian girl, filled with pity for the devo-
ted prisoner, besought her father to,
spare him; but the chef declined to
interfere, saying that the life of the
prisoner was in the hands Of his cap.
tors, whose right it was to put him to
death. She then turned to the warri-
ors, and implored them to forbsar their
deadly purpose. But she was repul-.
sed; and one Of them, enraged, eOld
her that he had lost two sisters in the
war, and that the prisoner must die.
Her intercess;on, however, continued.
She persevered in entreaties, aud used
all the arts of persuasion which her
woman's nature suggested; and she
finally succeeded in saving his lifes on
condition that the young white man
should adopt, the Indian dress, and
become one Of the tribe. T9saFsQH
1t appears from the information
communicated by Colonel Hitchcock
that some time after this event, the
white man sought his benefactress in
marriage; but she declined, and subse.
quently married one Of her own peo-
pie. Her husband is now dead. His
father was put to death in the war Of
1SI7-'1S, and her mother and sister
have since died. She is now friend
less and poor, residing amongst her
people in their new country, near the
mouth ofVerdegris river. She has three
children, "a boy and two girls.) all too
young to provide for themselves, and
consequently dependent upon their
mother for support. ''..'' s',-
The committee thought that the oc-
casion presented by this case was a
suitable one, not only TO reward a me-
ritorious act, but also TO show to The In
dian tribes how mercy and humanity
are appreciated by the Government,
The grant Of pension, with a clear
exposition Of the grounds Of its allow

ported, to allow to Milly apehsion OF

FROM INTERNATIONALLY follow

lngton correspondence Of the New
York Express, under date ofthe goth
inst
Mr.. Fletcher Webster is no longer
chief clerk Of the Department of
State, having quietly passed from that
position into one of greater emolument,
if not gilmore honor. He yesterday
received his commission as Secretary
of Legation to the China mission, at
salary Of fUe thousand dollars per an
nam.
MIR. Gushing leaves the city this af-
ternoon for Massachusetts, with the
determined purpose of taking the stump
in his district for the next Congress,
at the special election first Monday in
June next.
Rumor says that Mr.. Webster will
take the field also in his behalf, and in
person, in Mr.. Cushing's district.
Mr.. t. Hartley Crawford has been
removed from the Office of Commits
sioner in the Indian Department, to
make room for Mr.. Tyson, Of Phil
adelphia-the removal and appoint
ment to take effect May LIST. The
chief clerk Of the same department is
also removed TO give place to some
Tylerian PoFterite from Pennsylvania.
Many other changes are spoken of;
but these ] enumerate, as certain TO
take place.
F. o. J. Smith is spoken Of in
place of A. K. Paris, Second Com
troller, giving to the Governor, in lieu
thereof, some appointment in Maine.
Isaac Hill is talked of in place of
either Dayton or Pleasanron, the 4th
and 5th Auditors.
T. L. Smith, Register of the Treas.
ury, has issued nearly four hundred
thousand dollars auo1th OF treasury notes
beuond the amount authorised 6y Con
cress, before he discovered his error.
AS to Mr.. Webster, the general be-
lief now here is, that he will retire
next month. The fact that bis son
has already left the department, and
that he is going again to- Massachusetts

| is, lends force TO this belief.
The statement about the Register
of the Treasury, the editor OF the Ex-
! press SAYS, eve do not yet credit IN
the full extent. 1t may be founded
on something and thus one ofthose puz-
zling positions arises in which an edl-
tor IS called upon .either to suppress

two female servants of Mr.. Lakewood,

The following tragical circumstances

protested to the court his innocence.
James Ashcroft. sen., exclaimed !:
