has, he informs its, now ventured to touch
upon this painful subject. • Knowing ourselves
something of the manners and conversation of
Mr. Leigh Hunt, we confess that we read the
preamble to this explanation with some curl•

wholly apart the question of the justice or
injustice of the portrait, we had not, and we
suppose feu' had, any doubt of who way meant

Mr. Dickens would bare better showed his
regard for Leigh Hunt by granting him the
charity of his silence rather than by making
such a remarkable confession, to his prejudice,
as he has published—by way of vindication.

England, to Mayo drawn other characters from

"J, S. WILLIAMS, ESQ.—Dear Sir • Yours of
the 31st nitimo, to Mr. Kummen, postmaster at till,
plane, hos been handed to me. I have not been
in the habit of making much use of my pen for
number ot years; I will, however, at your request,
endeavor to give you a abort coconut of the Aral
four years of my life, which were all 1 spent
amongst the Indians, having storm lived In „Beth
'chola nearly all the time. My acquaintance or
knowledge of them and their history is chiefly from
books, and what I heard from my father and other
missionaries.
"I wan born April 16th, 1731, in Salem, one of
the Moravian Indian towns, on the Muskingum
river, State of Ohio. Soon after my birth, times
becoming very troublesome, the settlements were
often in danger from war parties, and from an en
campment of warriors near nadenhult en; and final.
ly, in the beginningof September of the satueyear,
we wore all made prlsonem. Find, four of the rata.
sionarles were seized by a party of Huron warriors,
and declared prlaonem of war; they were then led
Into the camp of the Delaware, when the death
song was sung over them. Soon after they had
secured them, a number of warriora marched off
for Salem and Shoendrun. About thirty Phyagea
arrived at the former place in the dusk of the eve
ning, and broke open the mlrsion honee. here
they took my mother and myself prisoners, and
having led her into the streets and pieced guards
over her, they plundered the house of everything
they could take with them, and destioyed what
was left. Then, going to take my mother along
with them, the savages were prevailed . upon,
through the intercession of Indian females, to let
her remoin at Salem till the next morning—the
night being rainy, it was almost impossi ble for
her to travel an far. They at last cemented, on
condition that she should be brought into camp
the next morning, which wan accordingly done,
and she was safely conducted- by our Indians to
Onadenhutten.
" We regret that our space will not allow n 3 to
publish the whole of this letter, which pOSLidkieß all
the interest of romance. Mary and her mother
wee taken to Upper Sandusky; the prisoners suf
fered exceedingly, as the savages were obliged to
steal most of the requisite food; orders wore re
ceived by the Indiana to take the party to Detroit;
the missionaries commenced a new town on Lake
Huron; finally, Mary, after a eerie, of waadorinv,
TM conveyed to Bethlehem, the town from which
she writes."

A SPIRITUAL. MARRIAUE.—TIIO Boston Traveller
tells the story of the marriage of a dentist of that
city with a lady medium, his wonderful tnatritno-
Mal experiences, and the ultimate dissolution of
that affinity, after eighteen months. The dentist
was introduced, some twoyears ago, toe lady whose
husband "had deserted her, and gone to Kansan,
since which she had taken up the profession of spi•
ritual mediumship. She was fair and attractive.
and admiration of her spiritual gifts combined with
her persona/ charms to captivate the baehelor's
heart. Besides, the spirits told them they were
made for each other, and they were willingly
obedient to the heavenly vision. They were
married, but the honeymoon had hardly began
when the wife became subject to strange trances,
during which she would pull her husband's hair,
scratch him, and otherwise violently belabor him.
most commonly when he was in bed and exposed
and defenceless When ehe was aroused from the
trance she was full of regrets at what had hap
pened At the Lidding of the spirits he took her
with him to Tense, where she proclaimed him an
Abolitionist end he narronly eseaped violence at
the hands of the mob. When they got back the
spiritual persecutions continuing, and the poor
husband finding that his sufferings of mind, body,
mid estate were greater than he could bear, sug
gested a separation, and obtained It by paying
handsomely. After the separation the woman con
fessed that she had imposed upon him throughout,
that liar trances were feigned, that she beat and
scratched him Leeatige she wanted to, that all the
spiritual messages she bad received were of her
own manufacture. The dentist hat kind an experi•

believes in spiritualism, only he thinks the devil

Judge Bell, Senator from the Cheater and Dela

bill of last session relating to the subject of eel
denee in courts. Last winter two bllls were before
the Senate—one of erotl by Jgage Bell, and tho
other by Mr. Colley,f_of Indiana, The - brat pro.
posed to do away with many of the absurd re

no person shall be excluded an a witness

have in the event thereof; providing, however, that
title shall not apply to a party to the record, nor to
any person for whose immediate benefit the action
may Lo pruecouted or defended. This was good, u
far as it went, bat the objection was, It did not go
far enough. Betray's bill proposed to do all that
Bell's did, and also to parmit pettier to the record
to testify. 4, majority were In favor of mane re
form, and a minority wanted to let the law nand u
it was ; but the majority could not agree on either
of the two plans proposed, to between them
both were lost. It is confidently expected that
