A PROpllETESSn
In these latter days, there has appeared a Il
markablc "Prophetess," in the person of a Won,
gIrl Of the Creek nation. She lives a few mi !
from Fort Gibson, and we have grea; repor,s
the sensation and moving she has caused in Il
"dry bones around her. We cannot pretend
relate all the marvellous things we have heard
her sayings and do.ngs-ii would REQUIRE 10
50. greater faI:h, and more time than We have
beSuw on such n subject. Suffice il then. Al
the person alluded TO is about fifteen y,ars of as
of Creek descent; literate; and not remarka5
in former days for any qualities Of mind lhI
would distinguish her above MANY of her cogJ
Try women. About three months ago. while "A
gagged IN somo household duties, she uttered
scream and fell senseless. Her friends supposI
she was dead, and made ready to bury her:
after remaining in that state for several hoa
she gavc signs Of life. and gradually rerained
strength. Size had been in n Trance md wb
revived. gave lucid account of her in,ercou-I
with the spirits of tho upper world--of oll Al
she saw, OF all that was told her, and of ccr,,I
events which should come TO pass. She has ae
IN the same state, once or twice since and n,I
iesses tu have had communion with the Savio1
of men, whose wounds open and bleed aires
upon the perpetraton Of every wicked act cod
United here below; and who has taught her n
words OF sweet song, which she sings with grel
beauty and effect. She has predicted one or N
deaths which have como TO pass, and told frO{
her own feelings of murder, al the very lid
II was committed; at n distance of several mi \
from her home. She has also purchased her ID
rial clothes, foretold at what time her death won
take place, and certain signs which would thsI
be seen, and from which the world could ig3sI
of her revelations.
People from all sections are hockng 10 see her
and as she goes off again to-day for the last tim
out one, II Is SAID that an immense crowd will Wis
her. Ihere are many who consider her case
remarkabeone. and who. believing 10 her inspin
ton, have become alarmed and forsook the erro1
OF their ways.
These are some of the accounts we have haa
Of this modern Prophecies, whom eyeryboal
