A SECOND POCAHoNTAs.

At the last session of Congress the following
interesting communication was received from
the War Department and referred to the ap-
propriate Committee who reported a bill,
which was passed, granting pension of eight
dollars month TO Milly the Indian woman,
mentioned in the letter.
WASHINGTON, April 10, lS43.
SIR; | have the honor to report that, in
my recent visit to the Creek nation of In
dans, found Creek woman named Mily,
a daughter of the celebrated Prophet Fran
els, the Creek chief who was executed by
order of General Jackson in the Seminole
war of lSl7-'lS; and, believing that the
circumstances of her history presented a
case of very peculiar interest, | made it a
point to obtain from herself statement of
her conduct in 1918, when as public history
has already recorded, she saved the life of
an American citizen who was prisoner in
the power of some OF her tribe Being in
the vicinity of the Indian girl, near the mouth
of Virdigris river, and being acquainted
with portion of her history, rode several
miles to hear her story from herself.
She began by saying that an elder sister
and herself were playing on the bank of the
river Apaachicola, when they heard war
cry, which they understood to signify that
prisoner had been taken. They Immediately
went in the direction of the cry, and found
a white man, entirely naked, tied to tree,
and two young Indian warriors, with their
rifles, dancing around him, preparatory to
putting him to death, as was their right, ac-
cording to custom, they having taken him
a prisoner. She explained TO me that in such
cases the life of prisoner is in the hands
of the captors-that even the chiefs have no
in the case-Milly was then but
fifteen or sixteen years of age
"The prisoner was a young man. said
Milly, and seemed very much frightened
and looked wildly around to see if any body
would help him. | thought it was pity
she said, that young man like him should
be put to DEATH and spoke to my father,
and told him it was pity to kill him-that
he had no head to go to war with, (meaning
hat the young man must have acted upon
he advice of others, and not upon his own
suggestion in going to war; MY father
old me, continued Milly, that he could not
save him, and advised me to speak to the
Indians, and did so but one Of them was

young man; and so talking, to him for
some time, finally persuaded him and he
said If the young man would Ogree 10 have
his head shaved, and dress like an Indian,
and live among them, they would save his

She then proposed the conditions TO the

and the Indians changed the contemplated
death scene into a frolic. They shaved the
young mans head, excepting the scalp-lock,
which was ornamented with feathers; and,
after painting him, and providing him an In
dian dress he was set at liberty, and adopt
ed as one of the tribe.
Some time afterward the young man pro-
posed marriage; but Mily said She did not

posals

told me that she was very poor, and had TO
work very hard; that her father was put TO
death in the war, and her mother and sister
were dead. Her husband was also dead
OF eight children she had but three living,
two of whom were young girls, aud one,
boy too young to help her. But she said
that if she could recover her property from
the Seminoles she could live very well.
She is now about forty years of age and
after having seen her, aud being entirely

before Congress- MilIy has now no husband
or brother, or any near connection, TO pro-

OF some negro property, now held by the
Seminoles, belonging to her.
