OHARITY BEGINS AT HOME


"The celebrated John Randolph
on a visit 10 a female friend, found
her surrounded with her seams
stresses, making up a quantity Of
clothing. "What work have you
on hand 7" "Ob, sir, ] am preparing
this clothing to send to the poor
Greeks" On taking leave at the
steps ofthe mansion, he saw acme oI
her servants in need Of the very
clolhing which their tender hearted
mistress was sending abroad. He ex-
claimed, "Madam, madam, he Greeks
are at your dOOri,"
Upon which, the Savannaih Re-
publican remarks:-
Here Eas administered a delicate,
yet well merited rebuke to that long
sighted benevolen~s which sweeps the
distant horizon for objects Of compass
sion, bot is blind as a bat TO the
wretchedness and destitulion aboun-
ding at It's own doors. How spurious
is that philanthropy Of modern days,
which requires a grand stage effect be-
fore it can be brought into exercise,
that gad-about benevOlence, which
sumo one has likened TO that sort Of
piliful osienseiion whick induces an
Irish gentlemen to ask every body he
meets to dinner, when he has not
dinner enough for his own family at

that we owe the industrious efforts oI
so many in this country and across the
water who lake into their. select sympa-

ulation and who, while the severest
distress remained unrelieved at theiT

walk to the other end Of the earth il
search ofloreign wretchedness.
OF these peoples charity it cannot

Extensive benevolence is the last anC

FROM WAsHINGToN.-The follow
ing budget ofnews is from the Wash
ington 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
positioninto one Of greater emOlument,
il not gilmore honor. He yesterday
received his commission as Secretary
Of Legation 10 the China mission, at
salary offve thousand dollars per an
nun.
Mr. Gushing leaves the city this az
ternoon for Massachusetts, with The
determined purpose Oftaking 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 Geld also in his behalf, aud in
person, in Mr.. Cushing's district.
Mr.. T. Hartley Crawford has been
removed from the Office Of Commis-
sioner in the Indian Department, to
make room for Mr.. Tyson, of Phil
adelphia-the removal and .appoint
ment to take effect May 1st. The
chiefclerk Of the same department is
also removed 10 give place to some
Tylerian Pouerile from Pennsylvania.
Many other changes are spoken Of;
but these l enumerate, as certain 10
take place.
F. 0. J. Smith is spoken Of in
place Of A X. Paris, Second Com
iroller, giving to The Governor in lieu
thereof, some appointment in Maine.
Isaac Hill is talked OF in place Of
either Dayton or PleasanJon, the 4th
and 5th Auditors.

next month. The fact that bis son
has already lelt the department, and
that he is going again TO- Massachusetts

is, lends force 10 this belief.

A SECOND POCAHONTAs.


The Committee on Indian Affairs,
10 the late House Of representatives,
reported a bill allowing a pension fot
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 10 the favor ofths
Government was founded.
Milly, at the age Of sixteen, when
her nation was at war with the United
States, and her father was one Of tie
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 a tree, and the saw
age warriors, with their rifles, were
dancing around him. preparatory to
putting him to death. The young In.
dian girl, 6lled with pity for the devo-
ted prisoner, besought her father 10.
spare him; but the chef declined to
interfere, saying that the life Of the
prisoner was in the hands Of bis cap.
tors, whose right it was to put him to
death. She then turned to the waFFi-
ore. and implored them 10 fnrheaF their
deadly purpose. But she was repul-
sed; and one Of them, enraged, ted
her that he had lost two sisters in the
war, and that the prisoner must die.
Her intercession, however, continued.
She perssvered in entreates, aud used
all the arts Of persuasion which her
woman's nature suggested; and she
finally succeeded in saving bis life, on
condition that the young white man
should adopt, the Indian dress, and
become one cf the tribe. 1tsa
1t appears from the information
communicated by Colonel Hitchcock
that some time after this event, the
white man sought his benslactress 10
marrisge; but she declined, and subss-
quently married one Of her own peo-
pie. Her husband is now dead. His
father was put to death in the war Of
1sI7-'ls, 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, IA boy and two girls.) all too
young to provide for themselves, and
consequently dependent upon their
mother for support.
The committee thought that the Oc-
casion presented by this case was .
suitable one, not only TO reward a me-
ritorious act, but also 10 show to the In
dian tribes how mercy and humanity
are appreciated by the Government
The grant Of pension, with cleaI
exposition OF the grounds Of its allow.
ance, wUuIu nave a salutary innuence
it was believed, upon savage customi
in future. A bill was accordingly re-
; ported, to allow to Milly apension o.
500 per annum, or So pet month, foI
life.
