/. WILD CAT-HIs RETURN TO THE SEsTrNo,.r
ICoUNTRY-600 CREEK INDIANS IN PURSUIT OF
HIM.--We learn from our friend. Mr.. Thomas
Aird, who arrived from Little River last week.
that Wild Cat had come in from the Rio Grande.
where ne has been gone for nearly year. When
MI. A, left Little River, Wild Cat had called a
council OF Seminoles, which was to have come
oil last week. 1t is supposed that this willy chief
will endeavor to get a number of the Seminoles
to follow him to the Rio Grande, as he repre-
sents to them that he has obt lined a grant of
land from the Mexican Government
He undoubtedly has something in view, in
this visit TO the Seminoles, at this time-some
deep-laid scheme. He should be watched. We
shall perhaps in few days hear more of his
doings among the Seminoles. 1s e.. 49, ;.
5 We also learn from Mr.. A. that the Creeks,
OF Tuck Abachee town, have requested the
traders in the Creek Nation not to sell powder
and lead to the kickapoo Indians, as they belong
to Wild Cats company on the Texas line. The
Creeks and Seminoles are opposed to the move
ments of Wild Cat, and they have very little
confidence in him. We believe the Seminoles
dsclam any connection with him in any way.
and have informed the Government that thew
do not wish to be held responsible for any of
his acts. & 'a
1t is thought, by those who know Wild Cat.
that he will not commit any act of open hostility
toward the people Of the United States, but that
he will secretly encourage killing, robbery, &c.
with others, and will appear to be friendly to
both parties, but manage his hand so as to come
in for portion of the spoils. He perhaps sees
a very large opening for carrying on this nefari'
Gus business on the Rio Grande and wishes to
get as many OF the Indians of his native tribe to
follow him as he can, so as to be well fortified
for the pursuit of such business
Since writing the above we are informed by
a gentleman, who arrived in town from the
Creek Nation on "Wednesday evening last, that
about 500 Creeks had gone up from Tuckaba-
chez town into the Seminole country, to arrest
Wild Cat and his followers How many men
ne has with him we have not yet learned. There
will be trouble yet with this fellow, 1ati

WILBUR FISK, D. D.-The Ladies' Literary
Repository, for January, has an interesting sketch
of the life of Wilbur Fisk describing the dficultcs
which he encountered in his early endeavors to pro-
cure an education;
once knew young man, who, without nroper.
ty or parents, or other friends to help him. at the
age OF twenty, walked four miles one stormy night.
to borrow Latin grammar and the next night af
ter having closed school he was teaching. walked
five miles to obtain from young lady, who, more
some instruction how to study Latin. That home
less youth, who took his first lesson in Latin at the
age Of twenty from girl much younger than him
self has occupied for twenty years and more an i'm
Portant position in the literary institutions of the
country, having educated thousands. Does not that
girl, who readily stopped her spinning wheel to
teach him Latin, deserve part of the reward for
the good that has been done by her pupil in the
cause Of education

VULGAR PEoPLE.-"Thnsc arc not vulgar

Vulgar who. by their thoughts aid deeds,

are rich vulgar men, as well as vulgar poor
men. Being poor is not Of Itself disqnali.

gentleman is to be elevated above others in
sentiment rather than situation. And the
poor man, with an enlarged and pure mind,
may be happier. too, than his rich ncghbor
