Sam Jones in person had removed of.
positively refusing to- have any further In.
tcrcourse, and says he would not emiarate
for two wagon loads of money! Some of
his men and women, followed those of his
party, leaving their camps, and ridiculed
them for selling themselves for money! On
the arrival of Col. Garrett at Fort MYERS.
Col. Rector gave notice that on tho morn
ing of the 18th, the Indians Intending to
emlgrate should be ready to embark in time
to leave the same. At an early hour ON

DEArn, INSANITY AND rME DUNGEON!
--Thc,sad consequences of vice were never
more strikingly exhibited than in the fol-
lowing paragraph, which we copy from a
late New Orleans letter. 1t is truly ~ mel
ancholy case, aud should prove solemn
warning to persons tempted to depart from
the path of'yirtue:
"The grand jury of this parish has fonnd
bill OF indictment against George w. Har.
by who, several weeks ago, shot II. G. III.
Stone, whom he charged with seducing his
daughter. The bill was found on Saturday
last. The trial,will probably take place In
the course of a monthor six weeks. Pub
lie opinion now seemsto BE that the homi-
eide was totally yinexcusuble, and that young
Stone has met with an ,pnmerited fate.--
This is truly melancholy case. The faith
or is comparatively an old man, and hereto.
fore stood well in the community as a teach
erof youth; now he is Immersed in dun,
geon and charged with murder. Stone
was just entering life with peculiar adxaa-
tage-was presfsreus in business, and sur
rounded by aboEt Of confding friends---now
a cold graTc cn@faps him. The daughter
isyoung and highly educatcd was bcauti.
fui and greatly adipired now she is. q lna-
MAC, it is said, and hor-future happiness
gone"

conclusion that the preseni year Is to wit

cording to the Syracuse ,J5u,7,ai the re-
