These sounds the Indians believe to be the voice
of the spirit 'yuanifou, who guards che deposltes
OF mineral wealth embowelled beneath the hills, and
70 whom any attempt made 70 d'g them up, ana
carry them of, would be highly offensive, and fol-
lowed by some kind Of punishment. have never
yet heard Of an Indians leading white man 70
locality of copper, or telling where he has fonnd
piece when picked upl f (
Some have supposed that the noise in question
arises from volcanic action; but, no vibration IS
felt the earth, and other proof exists OF such
being the case we are led to believe that the noise
is produced by the flashing Of the waves OF the lake
after q storm, as they driven forward into the
grottos caves &c. Of the tall sandstone cliffs, form
ed a, their bases by the disnegmtng effects OF wa
ter and ice. Some distance east of La Pone, about
the Little Girls Point and Montreal river, as well as
west Of the same place, fifteen or twenty miles,
high red sandstone cliffs occur. AT their bases,
near the waters edge, great macy curiousy-
shaped caves and grottoes appeared In places, the
sandstone had been so cut away, that only pillars re-
manned standing at some ten or fifteen feet IN me
lake, from the top Of which high rude arch would
extend to the main shore, and beneath which boats
could easily pass. This was particularly the case
near where the islands aIedarted with going west up
the southern shore Of the lake. Some caves, with
small openings for mouths, run for long distance
back beneath the hills, expanding, likely, into large
halls with high yaulted roofs, &c. Alter storm,
heavy sea continues to roll into these grottoes and
caverns, the lashing themselves against their
sides and roofs--thus producing sounds resembling
those heard at La Pointe, &c.
As the weather is generally calm after storm,
before the sea goes down. il is likely at such times
these sounds are heard.
We had occasion to pass these places when q
considerable sea would be on, close TO the cliffs,
and could hear the hollow heavy sounds OF the
waves as they broke in the caverns within the Gins
and hills Every day, while we remained, parties
of Indians continued to arrive to be present at the
payment. -
We finally became prepared to leave for the Mis-
sssippi, having bought two bark canoes, and hired
four new voyageurs--two for each canoe--one In
dian, one half-breed and two descendants of Cana
dian French and, with stock Of provisions, we were
ready to be off From this place, sent back three
yoyageurs TO the Sault Ste. Marie, all that hired
to come as far as La Pointe So, after paying our
respects to Mr.. Hays, our worthy Indian agent, and
to DR.. Borup, Ito both of whom had borne letters
of introductory and having many "bons royages"
heaped upon us by our friends and the friends Of
the voysgeurs, we bade adieu to La Pointe.
You will not hear from me again till reach the
Falls Of ST. Croix.
! am yours, very truly, &c.

MRS. GENERAL CARRINGTON
VIII open, the Isl day Of October nert in the city of
Richmond
A SCHOOL FOR YOUNG LADIES.


ME central and healthy situation Of this city, its
4 great and growing importance in wealth and
population, the refinement and hospitality of its pol
,shed society, with its easy approach from every
ecton of the country, recommend it as a favorable
place for school of the first class. Mrs. C's de-
sign is, to engraft, as far she can, on Christian
principles and solid learning, all those accomplish
ments which embellish society," and add to its hap
piness. Mrs. G. has engaged experienced teach
ers for the several departments of her school-re-
serving TO herself the vgilant superintendent of
the whole, and the maternal care and management
Of the young ladies'.
Mrs. G. is in faith Presbyterian; and, though
warmly attached TO the doctrines, worship, and dis
cipne Of the church, she is no bigot, and has no
wish to use any influence her pupils for the
purpose of proselytng, but will earnestly endeavor
to incucate those cardinal doctrines in which all
Christians agree.
Mrs. G. might refer to many persons of influence
throughout the Union, who have long known her;
but she deems such a course of questionable pro-
prety. To do without permission, might be
deemed impairment. To ask that permission, might
compel concession reluctantly accorded;-all that
she can do, is to prefer general request to those
who know her well enough feel interest in her
success, to lay her claims fairly before their acl
quaintances. To ask more, would be at once incon-
sIstent with her wishes and principles.

veyed 1t to the eastern Cherokees /!
Have not shown, clearly and incontestably, that
the Cherokee nation Of Indians were in possession
OF country west Of the Mississippi river 10 the
year 1928, which they had puRcHAsED AND PAID
FoR And does not the treaty Of that year show as
concluslvely that they made fair exchange of that
country for another the title to which last was war
ranted by the pighted faith of the United States !
One of the provisions Of this treaty, which have
quoted stpulaes for the survey of the lands ceted
to the Cherokees, at the expense of the United
States, SO that they may be o,oned INDIVIDUALLY, in
stead Of being held in conmonl Suppose this con-
dition Of the treaty had been carried out would not
the land haze been divided among the Cherokees then in
occupancy And could the government of the Uni
ted States or the "eastern Cherokees have wrested
it from these individuals, except by FORCE or PuR-
CHASE The question is almost TOO absurd to de-
serve an answer. Yet such principle has been
contendcd for by our technical guardian
When commenced this number, | intended to
bring into view the treaties of 1923, 1888, and
1885, and exhibit one Of the most beautiful pictures
OF garng inconsistency, OF want Of fidelity, in this
our own good government; but find the story will
be too long for one paper will not, therefore, even
touch the provisions Of the treaty of 1893, which
settles the boundaries conveyed by the treaty of 1923
to the western Cherokees, and PROMISES in the most
solemn manner, that they shall have a PATENT for
their land as soon as practicable after the ratification
Of the treaty. | will reserve this portion Of the
history for another number, In which will show
the Important battlefield presented by the 'sperpetu-
al and unmolested outlet" Of the Cherokee country
should we have war with Mexico. This outlet
with a similar granted to the Creek nation, was
made by treaty TO extend to the Mexican posses
sions. The Cumanches, Kioways, and about
dozen Of other wild tribes, in the neghborhood
Of that frontier. The Cherokees alone can approach
,he Cumanchcs, and secure their friendship And
saw without fear of contradiction that il the gov
eminent of the United States would but extend the
hand Of confidence and friendship to the Cherokees
and Greeks, authorizing them to call on the neigh
boring tribes and organize an Indian army for the
protection Of Teras or inrason Of hsrco not single
man residing east Of the Mississippi need leave
his home for that purpose.
