A PROPllETESsll

In these latter days, there has appeared
a remarkable "Pronhetess," in the person
ol Young girl Of the Creek nation. She
lives few miles from Fort Gibson. aud
we have great reports Of the sensation and
moving she has caused in the "dfy bones
around her. We cannot pretend to relate
all the marvellous things we have heard Of
her sayings and doings--it would require
TO do so, greater lailh, and more time than
we have 10 besiow on such a subject. Suf
flee II then, that the person allnded to is
about fifteen years Of age; of Creek de.
scent, illilerale aud not remarkable in for
mer days for any qualities OF mind that
would distinguish her above many Of her
counlry.women. About lhree months ago,
while engaged in some household duties
she uttered a scream and ltli senselcss.-
Tier friends supposed that she was dead
and made ready To bury her, but after re.
mainng in that state for several hours, she
gave signs Of life and gradually fegained
her strength. She had bcen in iriact
and when revived eage lucid account oI
her intercourse with lht spirits Of the uppef
world-ol all that she saw, aud Of all thai
was told her, and Of certain events that
