A few days since in the South Carolina Legislature, the Roy. Mr. Cowpay. (or Ke-geta-gah-bowh,) an In ! dian Chief of the Chippewa tribe. adAress ed the members of both Housesi l if die l subject of Indian civilization, intl e hest means of promoting it. His ulterior ob ject was to elicit some action on the part of the Legislature, recommendiog to Con. grossthe removal of all the scattered In dian tribes to some spot west of the Mis sissippi River, where they might. collected in one body. enjoy the blessings of o per manent home, till the soil, found institu tions of education, and introduce the vari ous arts of civilized and Christian life. Mr. Cowpay says, that the country which the Indians now hold, they cannot hold forever, or much longer. ['he res. limns he gives, are that emigrants must ne. cessarily pass through it—railroads must pass through their country, canals and Imilitary roads be opened, and it wilt be impossible to carry out these internal im provements without disturbing the Indians and preventing their peaceable enjoyment of their lands. 'l'his will be a constant and fruitful cause of discontent and dissat isfaction. In the second place, be re. marks, that the vest quantity of land as. signed to them by the Government, a mounting in all to 15,000,000 acres, is de cidedly injurious to his cou n trymen. It encourages roving habits among themselves, and holds out a perpetual temptation to the emigrant. The lands are fertile, anal tho Indians are easily duped by artful *pecu lators into selling theta at a price vustiv . under their value. 2583 1344 1854 1588 Thirdly, in their present situation, they have not the means of educating their child ren and of admiring in intelligence. They live only from day to day, and provide very little for the. future. When they see the wicked white man standing by his barrel of cider, they long to partake of the intoxicating draught. They engage in drunken revels during the night, and the missionaries, consequently, however de sirous to promote their temporal and spit , fare, do them little or no good.— :an place them in some situation ley would have opportunities for nefleetual and religious instruction. he sphere of the temptations and roue influences by which they are rounded, you might then hope for ..ananent improvement and progres we elevation in the scale of nations. There have been 90,000 removals since the policy of removing the Indians com menced ; and there are 21.000 more still waiting their removal westward. according to their agreement with the Government. SLAVE Cssa.—The alleged slave, Jo seph Belt, who was kidnapped at New York last week, was declared by Judge Ethuons on Thursday, to Le entided to his release, acid he was immediately hur ried off by his friends to a place of secu rity. It was proved that lie was born on the estate of NI r. Lee, in Frederick county, Md., was about 21, and that his mother and grand mother areslaves now living.— The argumeut of the claimant was to the effect that colored persons being presented to be slaves in Slave States, and free in free States, the prisoner was to be restored to the person whose property lie was, as lie had been proved on evidenve to be a slave and born of a bondwoman. The Judge said that the laws of New York ad. mined no right to hold property in slaves, and being in a free State, he waa entitled to his release. COL DRAYTON JON es, a respectable citi izen of Wayne, Ohio, lately came to a dreadful death. While engaged with a number of men threshing at his barn, he fell, through the scaffolding in the loft to the Hoar, where he was thrown across the end of the cylinder of the threshing ma chine, which was in m4tion. His hip and thigh were mangled in a most horrible manner. He lingered five days in the most excruciating agony, w hen he ezpi red, mortification having commenced the evening before. THR DAMAGED PORE.—The snow hill (Md.,) Shield says, that the recent warm weather has oecasioned the loss of more than two-thirds of the pork in Worcester county, which was butchered and packed away during its continuance. In the up per and lower parts of the county, the in jury and the damage done, is distressing. Nearly every house-keeper has suffered more or less from it. FATAL Acctomr.—We learn that a boy by the name of Minnybecker. about 9 year. old, was suddenly killed on Saturday last, a few miles from this place. It appears that the father of the young man was en gaged in cutting down a tree, and in falling it came in contact with another tree, from which a limb fell and struck hint upon the head, knocking out his brains.—Hagers town herald. Mosiracntorm Lanics.—The editor of the Home Journal asserui iti that paper, that it has lately become all the rage in Germany fur ladies to cultivate upon their upper lips each a downy, delicate mus tache ! The fashion is said to be advan cing -and no, we suppose, must be the price of bear's grease.—North hmerican. INVALID litruans.--Informality and de lay in the matter of•election returns, have this °year destroyed the effect of more votes than many people are aware of. In nearly every State, some town ships. districts, or even counties are thus omitted. In lowa, five hundred Whig votes were thus lost,- and in Texas, about twenty counties were thrown out on ac count of delay. The Damon Daily Advertiser has ful reports of the progress of the Cholera inl Russia, up to November 21st. It was palpably decreasing. We learn that Dr. Haadyside. the first English physician in St. Petersburg, has treated 1200 cases, in one large establishment, and lost only air .teen patients. This shows a very small proportkon of mortality in comparison with the former inroads of the disease.— In almost all cases prompt usistance and care sureeeded in effecting a cure. ilsmoasu.

American Art Union The annual distribution of the prizes of the American Art Union took place at New York on the 22J of December, in the presence, it Is said, of 3,00,./ persons. The number of subscriptions for the year 1848 wee 16.475—an increase o f 6,,51.9 over last year.

Both parties manifest a J64.4,44+11 to bold cut, but I am inclined to think that the Whis will yield the organization. in ord. r to secure the U. S. Senator and State Treasurer.

CONG RESS.—Nothing of Interest has trans. t pired in either branch of Congress during the piiit I week—the members mostly preferring the en oy. iinent of the festivities of the holidays to alts nit rig upon the duties of Legislators. rry•A Washington correspondent of the New York Commercial says that Mr I. 4 tephene, w' 0 OP chairman of the committee appointed !y the :•iout!i ern Delegation, and who will probably draw up the Report, is nfriendly to the I 'llion, and has en deavored to postpone the collision the , . has occur. es!, and to lessen its violence.

The Cholera at the Routh. The Cholera, which made its appearance at New Orleans. on the eve of the festive *capon, has been raging with fearful violence in that c ty. and oil board the steamers on the Mississippi. The New Orleans daily papers give long lists of cases of the Cholera. • large proportion of which proved fatal. A good deal of alarm pervaded all classes, and it was said that et least 20.0 persons had loft the city up to the 28th ult. Business was Of course much depressed, and the city presented • gloomy aspect. On board of a number of the steamboats plying between New Orleans and tilt Louis, Pittsburg, &c., there had also been , a fearful mortality—so much so, that some of the boa a have not enough hands left to work the machinery, and are com pelled to lie hy. A dispatch front Cincinnati says that business was much affected in that city alio —Captains of steamboats finding It impossible to engage crews for New Orleans on account of the Cholera. At New York, the disease was still confined to the Quarantine Hospital—but Cow cues being re ported oven there. A despatch from Now Orleans, under date of December 28,1848, says.' Within two days past there have been two hundred and one death. in our city, of which one hundred and fortpuven were train 'Asiatic Cholas*. Great distrom and alarm prevails. Hundreds are leaving the city daily, and tinging/le is almost entirely suspended. The, weather is, becoming cooler, and it is hoped we will have from soon.

The New Year. Another year (says the National Intriliaencer) has been added to the records of time, Dimwit be fore we are ready to greet its advent, and certainly before we are ready to write the history of that which it now numbered with the years before the Flood. • Yet seldom, it ever, has any year rinse the era of Christianity been so crowded with political events, or more marked by discoveries and ad vancement in all the arts of life. In the 01.1 Work!, a single spark, fallen into a mass of combustible population, ha kindled a game that has extended far and wide, threatening indiscriminately all structures of government— those venerable fur age as well as those of modern date—the bad, the indifferent and the compare tivelysood ; overturning some empires and shak ing others to tilde .. foundations; and leaving it still doubtful whether in the country in which it originated, the spirit of Liberty, or the principle of self-government, will in the end have gained or lost by the experiment. On this point, whilst ev ery thing is to be hoped. expectation yet Inks for word with intense anxiety to the news moments-, rily expected from abroad. Whilst, however, the countries of Europe are thus convulsed by the conflict of civil wars, we in this favored land may look back to the past year with heartfelt thankfulness, and forward to the future with confidence and with hope. Within that period, we have happily escaped, not only without ilia. redit, but even with honor, considering the terms of the peace and their con trast with the cry, for more blood and wider con quests with which, on this day a year ago, a cmcerted effort was made to drug and madden the senses of this People.

The Hagerstown Anita publishes the following abstract of a decision by the court of Washington county, Md., in the case of Long vs Horne. The decision will be interesting to our farmers, and oth ers, having produce to dispose of, and who are frequently imposed upon by specula tors, possessing information concerning the city markets, superior to their own. First—The purchaser may be in pos session of the news of a rise in prices, anti the seller may be ignorant thereof, yet ally contract entered into between them, with out any misrepresentation being made to the seder by the purchaser, is a valid con tract and binding in every respect. Thus, if the seller asks no questions the buyer is not bound to impart to him his superior informatiim--and the contrast thus made between them is agood one. Second—ll the purchaser be in po ion of news, and is questioned with reference thereto by the seller, he is not privileged to dery his possession thereof or misrepresent the same, and, to do sn with a view to draw the other into contract adverse to his in terests, is a fraud which will vitiate the contract and render it of non effect for the law defines fraud as tieing the conceal ment or misrepresentatio n of a material fart. h i n Inch a party is lulled into a false continence or Induced to forego inquiry necessary to the production of hw inter- Cole'. From this it is not, however, to be. inferred that the purchaser, even whet questioned, is bound to communicate his information to the seller. He is only re quired not to conceal the fact of his beituf posted." and not to misrepresent, or he guilty of falsehood with reference to the information he has in his possession. Stopi)ln3 the Paper.

Election of Louis Bonaparte to the Presi denry of .Prance—Phirht of the Pope— Abdication of the Emperor of Austria —Riots in Prussia—lnland quiet. New YORE. Dec. 31, 1840. The Cunard steamer Europa arrived this afternoon from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 18th ult. The moat impor tant intelligence by this arrival is the re sult of the recent Presidential election in Prance. Louis Napoleon hai been elected Presi dent of France. The country is repre sented as tranquil. A great change has come over the peo ple of Prussia as well as the Court. 'rite King has granted a Constitution of the most liberal character. FRANCE.—The latest intelligence from Paris is up to 10 o'clock. P. M., on Thurs day the 13th, at which time tranquility prevailed, The latest election returns show in favor of Prince Lo uis Bonaparte, which, with those before given, leave no doubt of his election. Prince Louis 13..maparte's proclamation of President was to be issued about the 20th. From the incomplete returns received, the vote Ficue. in Mr folbwing proportions: Louis Napoleon 66 per cent, Ca%aignac 20 per cent, filliliff 6 per cent, Rasped 4 , per rent. Lumartine 3 per cent. Com •iiiksioners will have examined the vote by the 17th, and on the 10th the Assem bly il! proclaim the Prince President. The very latest intelligence from Paris r. confirms Louis Bonaparte's popularity, and the overthrow of Cavaignac. The .clection was more decisive than was an tieipated. In Paris the Prince's majority over all competitors is 20,000 and Bur dens gives him 70,000 votes. IRELAND,—AII is tranquil. Lord Clar endon was formerly received on his return to the Vice Regal Lodge. The usual ad dress of confidence was voted to him, coup led with rcromniendations for a removal of grievances under which the couctry la hors. Ills Excellency's reply is .tempe rate, and disclaims any design on the part of the Government to Catholics from juries.

I am accused of incapacity. You are so kind us to say toy banding is cred itable to me. Do allow ine to be able to 'claim its exclusive parentage." The London Tunes regards the Prince's ' •election as a protest of the French people against a Republic.

A FLorrixo CHURCH—that of the Re deemer—is attracting a good deal of atten tion at Philadelphia. It was brought to that city on Friday. The Ledger says : "Its progress lifting the City front was hailed by the ringing of the steamboat hells. The exterior is painted to represent brown stone, and the style throughout is Gothic. 'Pile boats supporting the structure are 99 tons burthen, the deck is 9J feet long, the building is 86 feet long by 34, and has a passage all around it. The interior is 68 feet long, having a vestry room at the rear 6 feet by 24. The tower and spire are at the west end and are a beautiful fea ture of the structure ; from the deck to the ball on the spire is 80 feet, and above this is a flag staff le feet high. The tow er contains a stairway leading to the bel fry and organ loft. The latter now con tains a small parlor organ, but is to be for with a larger instrument now buil. ding by Mr. Pitcher, of New York. The interior of the church is beautifully finish ed, being painted in fresco, to resemitle stone, with a grained Gothic ceiling, sup ported by cornice and pillars of the same style. The windows are of stained glass, which greatly heighten the effect. An aisle runs up the centre ; the pews will seat 559 persons, and are all to he free.— The chancel-rails arid pews are painted in imitation of black walnut. A stained glass wintlOw is at the east end, and immediate ly below are tablets containing the Lord's prayer, ten continandinents and creed. OA either side of the chancel is a door coin- municating with the vestry room.
