THE CAMANCHEE INDIANS.

These Arabs of the American wilderness
range over our continent from Arkansas to
California, and from Oregon to Mexico, plum
dering the whites, and stealing children
They sell the white girls to neighboring In
dian tribes, retaining the boys to train up
as chefs and warriors. The present great
war chief is red-haired Scotchman, who
was stolen from his parents while quite
young. They use the bow and arrow; and
among their twenty-five thousand warriors,
they have only twelve hundred rifles. The
British Government is said to have had an
interview with some of their chefs early in
the present year, near Monterey, in upper
California and the presence of their warli-
ors in Texas is always attributed to hostile
motives; they having an old grudge against
the Texans for the murder of number of
their chiefs, out of revenge, at San Antonio,
a few y ars ago, while in the Texan Camp
They are a failhless race, and seldom or
never make treaties. They live principally
on parched wheat, which they carry win
them in smalls bags. They ne"er eat ami
NAL food. Their Villages are osuaiy Duilt
among the mouAtains, where their wives
childr.n and old men are protected by natu-
raj Notifications. A Camanche always
fights to the last; and seldom or never has
one of them been taken prisoner. III ath-
etic and equestrian feats, they excel every
other tribe; and to their honor be it record
ed, that Camanche never offers an indig-
nifty to female. In burning the frontier
settlements in the United States and Mexi-
CO, they make it principle to murder eve
nv adult over fifteen or sixteen years of
age; but on some occasions, when they rob
the dwellings of the rich, they carry off the
yonng women TO obtain money from somrn
the relatives of the captured. In one in
stance, a few months ago, they took two
daughters from a rich Mexican in Duran
90, and received 5000 dollars for their safe
return.

MASS1LLON AND ROBERT HALL
COMPARED.

In speaking of Massilion, we haza!d niue
by saying that he was the prince Of french
Preachers and as in writing, so Ill the chaf-
acter of his pulpit discourses, he must be
regarded as approaching nearer tlan any
other in resemblance to Robert Hall. They
aupear to have been similar in their methods
as preachers, and there are strong analogles
in their compositions. The entire descrip-
of Masillion by D'Alembert, on his admis-
sion into the royal Academy of Paris, might
with little alteration be applied to Hall. He
tracted and edited all classes OF men, Tor
though he commonly spoke in language
clear from its philosophical accuracy and
reasoning, and in the highest degree both re-
fined end eloquent, he spoke to the neart,
and united pathos with sublimity, and his
character for benevolence and pastoral tdel-
ity, was as bright as his genius
tits always interesting and instructive to
compare the productions of kindred minds.
We may be assisted therefore to judge OF
these two extraordinary preachers, if we
bring into juxtapositiOn one of the most Gel
ebrated passages produced by each. With
out further comment upon them we shall
lust remarn that Massillon's appears most
powerful in application, and Hairs most
brilliant in conception
Il figure to myself says Massllion, that
our last hour is come-the heavens are OPEN
ing over our heads--time is no more, and G.
ternity has begun. Jesus Christ is about to
appear to Judge us, according to our deserts,
and we are here waiting at his hands, the
sentence of everlasting life or death. ask
YOU now-stricken with terror like your
selves in no wise separating my lot from
yours, but placing myselfin the situation In
which we must all one day stand before 600
our judge-if Chtist, ask you, were this
moment come to make the aw I'll partition OF
the just and the unjust, think You that the
greater rumber would be saved? Do you
believe that the numbers would even be
equal? Ifthe lives of the multitude here
were sifted, should we fnd among them ten

One can scarcely wonder at the instant
effect which, according to Voltaire, was
propuced on the congregation. The
whole assembly started up from Their
seats, and interrupted the preacher by
murmurs Of surprise ans acclimatIon.
