THE rAWN OF PAsCAGoULA:
ON, TnK cHunrA eiaI or NOZZLE.

Shall ! tell you story of real life. as
romantic and affecting as any in fiction!
Well. listen! Every citizen OF Mobile is
familiar with the sight Of The Indian girls
who are seen in our streets in the winter.
with their little bundles Of lighiwood up
on their backs, they mark the adven, Of
the cold weather as regularly as the mock
ing bird aud The cardinal chronicle The ap.
proach Of spring. They ped,lle their
small parcels Of pine from door 10 door,
and all are familiar with the soft, quick,
peliiionery voice in which they exclaim
" "chumps," as they offer their cheap bur.
dens for sale.
These Indian girls. il is well known,
belong to reriain Choctaw families who
refused to emigraie with their tribe be-
yond The Mississippi. and yet linger upon
their aboriginal hunting grounds, on The
waters Of the Pearl aud the Pascagoula.
Though they thus exhibit an unconquera-
BILE attachment 10 their native soil. they
have yel refused to adopt the habits. Ian.
guage, or pursuits Of the whites. by whom
they are surrounded. and are perversely
Indifferent TO all The inducements Of civil.
za,ion. They persist in leading spe>
cies Of savage. gipsey. life-the men sus.
tanning themselves by hunting, and the
women by vending whorileberries and 9th
er wild fruit in the summer, and bundles
of pine in the winter. With these simple
productions they visi, Mobile semi-annu-
ally. and for The time reside IN the vicini-
". in small huls or camps, constructed Of
bark, boards, and the limbs of trees. This
has been their usage from time immcmo-
rial, and yet continues.
These Indians are generally misera-
BILE and ignorant race, bot with all their
degradation, they possess some Of the yir-
tues in singular degree. The women
are proverblaIly cl,aste and modest. and
OF all the young girls that annually visit
our city, none have been known TO depart
from The paths Of rec,itude. A strong in.
ierest, therefore. surrounds these simple
daughters Of the woods. who resist all the
Establishments Of their station, and pass
unharmed through the streets of our city.
Many Of them are quite handsome. and
possess, beneath their rustic garbs-the
calico gown and the red blanket-consi.
derable graces Of manner and appearance.
As they invariably refuse TO talk English.
very liltle conversation can be had with
them, and that only in reference 10 the
small bargains which they desire TO make.
Chumpa and Picayune are almos. the
only words which they employ in their
intercourse with our inhabitants. Still
thew are not reserved in their movements,
where they wish to make bargain. and
enter the different houses OF the city,
stores, dwellings, and Offices. without he
ceremony or announcement.

The Importance Of Conversation
Daniel Webster said. in The course OF
speech al Dedham. Massschusells. be-
fore The Norfolk Couniy Agricultural So
eieiy. that {" Every man Obtained a great
pzn Of Whatever knowledge he might
prnssess by conversation and communirs-
lion with Others. Books indeed might do
something In this respect. bot noihing in
comparison with free communication. III
We should deduct from the aggregate Of
each mans knowledge. whatever he had
learned BY communication and consersa-
lion with his fellow-man very lilile would
be lefl, and iha, litile not worth much al
beet. ID WAS intercourse with each olher
that made men sharp, and active, and en-.
ierprising."
Daniel Webster is right in his estimate
OF the value of conversation. but were
there no books 10 read there would be
very lillle conversation worth listening 10,
in our estimate Of things. Books are the
things that furnish lexis for conversation,
and we never knew any man whose con-
sersaiion was very gifted. Who was moi

Hon. Tristan Burgess, in an address
before ,he Peace Society Of Rhode Island,
holds the following language.
"A state of peace is the natural condi-
ton of man. He commences life with no
weapons Of war, no powers Of aggression
or defence; he has neither fangs nor ialons,
nor bodily strength and activity for mortal
combat. Among animals Of this condition
war might be obstinate, il could not often
be sanguinary and fatal to life. Art talone
aids the debasement of man, and puts into
his hands the instruments Of destruction.
Had steel slept in the bosom Of the earth,
or been drawn from thence only for the
axe. or the ploughshare; had art never
profaned the anvil " and forged sword
by which a man is slain;" had the war
club still flourished in the forest, and the
arrow been left unaedged by the spoil ol
the peaceful bird; had human arr and hu-
man industry been exclusively appropris,.
