I HEMMA MIcCo, OR JOHN JUMPER -
We have recently been put in possession d
some facts with regard 70 this Indian-the
principal Chief Of the Seminole nation 8
which cannot be otherwise than Interesting
Eto our readers. He Is, OF present, Colonel
| in the Provisional Army Of the Con- sderate
ESta4es, and CON hands regiment OF I'd.
dians, composed sprincip ipaIly Of Seminoles
Considerably over six feet IN height, ID
straight as an arrow, and as graceful and
light-footed as the. deer which feed upon
the prairies Of his western bone, he looks
every inch the soldier and the chief. He
| is, withaf, as gentle as q woman, as. brave
as the bravest, able in council, influential
with his people, q pure patriot, and thor.
oughly devoted to the cause Of the South.
His name should become a household word
with the citizens Of the Confederate States.

s.. s. Scott, Commissionerof Indian Affairs,
at Fort Washita, 9th October last we give
an extract. It -Will be found scarcely less
eloquent IN its simplicity and true feeling

UarimiIIoD observation-disclosures.

The late European sdvices seem TO in
dicats that the Mexican affairs have reach
ed the PontiAeate, and that the Pope has
excommunicated Macmillan. The tels-
gram is unsatisfactory, simply stating the
facts without comment. The only impor-
ance that we can attach 70 the information
is, that the movement Of Napoleon does
not meet with any activs sympathy in
Europe. Poor Max. will find himself in 8
dilemma if he suddenly discovers Sheri-
dams veterans in his front and q pspal
bull in his rear, Under such circumstances
he will be prepared to acknowledge the
force of the Shskspearisn motto; "Un-
easy lies the head that wears q crown"
Macmillan is but the tool of designing
men, and is really the least iniquitous of
all the conspirators to force monarchicsl
institutions upon q nation practically pre-
pared for a republican form Of govern
ment The plot thickenS but what will
be the result time alone can discover.

T0rnado near CIncLnnnti.

A terrible tornado passed over the coun-
try to the north of Cincinnati about four
o'clock last Tuesday morning, ~uuroofng
houses, upsetting fences. blowing down
barns, and doing immense havoc in Dr.
chards and gardens. The total damage is
estimated at $1,000. One of the curious
freaks of the wind is thus narrated by the
Cincinnati Gazette:
a man named maTTnSw HUSTnaES, En
company with his wife, on his way to mar
ket, having a wagon filed with vegets-
bles, met the tornado just at the moment
it crossed the avenue. SEEKING the horse
and vehicle it carried them across the road
and turned them t~opsy.turvy in a fence
corner, injuring the former and completely
demolishing the latter. Mr.. Z. was some
what injured but not seriously. Some cans
of milk we're carried fifty feet and emptied
of their contents, while bushels of toma-
toes were blown high in the air and final
ly made part of the crop Of neighbOring
gardens, in sueh q manner as to cause
them TO believe that nature was favoring
them with a liberal shower of this favorite
vegetable.

The crop prospects of Wisconsin, cores
pondents state, were neve better than at
the present season. Much apprehension
was felt in the early part Of the season on
account of the dry weather and the expec-
tstiOn of a renewal of the ravsges of the
chinch bug, but the former calamity was
averted by copious and timely showers,
which also hsd the effect of destroying what
few bugs had already been discovered. A
few weeks Of sunshine, which now bids fair
to be ~vonchssfed, will secure the already
ripening harvest, and our returning soldiers
are arriving just in time to assist in gather
ing It.

Tho Case of PTiIehard, the POisOnsr--
The COnVict's Confession.


From this Dublin Evening Mail, July l2.l
The following is the confession, vsr6atiss,
as made by P%fitchsrd, telegrsphed to the
Evening Mail by our special correspondent
from Glasgow, this day:
], Edward VIM. Pritchard, M. D, M. r.
G.. S. E. and L. A. O., etc, hereby make,
IA writing, in the presence of the Rev. r.
8. Oldham, M. A, the following confession,
for Transmission by him to the proper Au-
thorities:
It was when my wife was at Kilmun, in
the summer of 1863, that / first became in
innate with the girl Mary Mcleod, Sleep
ing with her in my house, % Royal Cres-
cent.
This continued at intervals up to tie
time of our removal to No. ISl SauchiebsI
street. She became pregnant in May LAST,
and, with her own consent, produced q
miscarriage.
I have reason to believe that Mrs. Pritch-
ard was quite aware of this, and rather
sought to cover my Wickedness and folly.
My mother. in-law, Mrs. Taylor, came
last February to our house, and caught
Mary Mcleod and myself in the consult
ing room; and tho day before her death,
having apparently watched us, she said to
r-o5 IN the same room, "You have Looked
her into 8 cupboard" which was true but
nothing more passed.
I declare Mrs: Taylor TO have died in the
name l have before stated. and l now
believe her death TO have been caused by
an overdose of Battley's solution of opium.
The aconite found in that bottle was nut in
by me after her death, and ~designedtv left
there IN order to prove death BY misad-
venture, IN case any inquiry should take
place.
Mrs. Pritehsrd was much bettar ;mma.
diately after her mothers death. but subsa-
quently became eXnAusSod GIOn -vsnI or
sleep. l accounted for this by the shock
produced BY her mother'a dasfhrsHakzs1
u knO~In how 70 act at her own aSrzSst
request l gave her CnIorOIorm.
It was about midnight Mary McLeod
wss In the room, and in an evil moment.
beng besides somewhat excited BY whisky.
l yielded to the temptation 70 give ber
sufficient to cause death, which 1 did.
therefore declare before God. as a DIV.
ing man, and in the presence of nv shirt
adviser, that / am innocent Of tbe
crime OF murder so far as Mrs. Tavlor Il
concerned, by acknowledging mvself 0niI-
~ of the adultery with Mary Mcleod and
the murder of my wife.
ieel now as though l had been living
IN 8 species Of madness since NV coonec.
ton with Mary Mcleod, and 1 declare nv
solemn repentance Of my crime, earnestly
praying that l may obtain Divine forOivs.
ness before 1 suffer the penalty of the Law.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia In.
qEirer, writing from Newport News, de-
scribes the raising of the frigste Congress,
sunk by the Merrimae. The operation
was successfully carried out on Thursday.
Five powerful steam pumps, throwing out
eight thousand gallons of water q minute,
in four hours brought her to the surface.
The wreck gave q fair idea of the original
size of the ship, though much Of he after
part of the vessel was gone. On the deck
were ten rusted guns covered with barna-
cles and oysters. The bulwarks and tim
bers we're overgrswn with soft grass. A
great many oysters we're also found in the
hold. The teredo has bored into the tim
bers, and the oak Is honeycombed and un-
stable. The remains are useless, saVu for
the great amount of metal in and about
the Wrnak
