to whom the note •was immediately deli- .

be an envelop fee,. with a request for
Mlle immediate attendance of the doetorupon
a poor woman who lay in if dangerous Situ- .
ation: No name asW signed to the request;
but the neat female .chirography was nume=

was the successor of several similar favors
from an anonymoUs. patron, whO had' for

'Christian lady, and - thliVmost of her time

Charles; and he•iirged his fillend to hastens
to the directiOn' given in the-note, in the:
hope that, they might get a glimpse at least,
of the being, who.could, in 'such retiring and
unosterOtioits sincerity, exercise-the true
and holy.*Votion of Christian' charilY.

deceased, and the doctor drove with every

day the corpse was removed to the residence,
of the son,, and the interment conduCted'
with every attention-and . respect that could
be givea. Charles remained in his uncon
scious state for several days, ere he was
able to understand what, had taken place.
He gradually recovered himself so far as to
reason with,hisfriend_upon-the eircumstan-:
ces•that had transpired: His mother had
believed- him lost to her for ever, after an
ineffectual effort to discover him, during his
Absenee• on his visit to the island. She had
believed, with truth, -the massacre of her
husband; and arriving. in a strange place,
with her health enfeebled_and destroyed by
a: shipwreck that 'she had experienced in
the vessel in which she had departed from
the island, she had lingered out a miserable
end to her exiSteace in the 'most:abject po.
v - ertyand destitution.. • •
. •
As soon as his recovering energies per
mitted, Charles sought the hovel in which
his mother had lived, and dealt outthe most
liberal compensation to all who had iii any .
way adininiSterecito her relief. But every
wherc'that he, sought to bestow his reward
lie inet with. the assurance of the'unworthi
ness and undeiervcdness. of the recipient,
and.the confirmatiorkhat the good Christian
lady had_ Bono every, thing. To s see-.this

Early in• the morning of a subsequent

__,lt,a,ppears from the copy of—a-letter from

campaign. in - Ylorida,. if it 'could arrive. at.
''Pampa Bay , by: the middle of October.
General Atltinson, was informed that he
:was at liberty to 'use the dragoon horses for
the 'purpose of aiding the corpS, if he-deem
fed. it necessary to mount the • men. The
number, of • horses at the Jefferson.•bairacks
was stated to be about three hundred. - -..
• In . a letter of the eame' date, from Mi..
Poinsett to C 01,.. Gentry,' the latter: is._ in
