- H ‘The incident‘we are about to relate, (an im-
pe'rfc‘ct’accouitt of which has heretofore been gtv‘=
' en,).de5ervcs to be recorded._.
"Mr "Duncan l\’IcKi'inimQti, ‘a resident of this
m,,,,,, was a Georgia niiiitia-maii in the service
ofthe-Unit;-(1 States, during the late Seminolean
While stationed at Fort Gadsden, on the
a, he one morning went fishing, and
war.
‘«. Appalachicol
in attempting to Tel." , _
Sacra} d,,,.,‘1ost in the surrounding wilderness.
After wandering about in various d_irectiops, he
wasespied and captured bya party of hostile In.
dians, headed by the well krown prophet l‘ l‘an(‘.iS.
...who had an elegant uniform, a fine h_t‘acc. of
pistols, and a British commission of Brigadier-
General, which he ext_iltingly‘shewed to the pris-
oner. ‘ Thev‘ then began to prepare for the in‘-
\ . tended sacrilice. McKrimmon was placed at a
A ‘I ‘stake, and the-ruthless savages having shaved
his head, and reduced his body to a state of nu-
(lily-, formed themselves intoa circle, and danced
aroutid him several hotirs, yelling all the while
most horribly. The youngest daughter of the
,,,.o-phet’ (who is about I5 year of age, and rep-
resented by ollicers of thc_at'my, we have con-
verged with, to be a woman very superior to_her
_associates,) was sad and silent the_whole time
’ -—she participated not in the general JOY, but was
evidently, even to the atfriglited pnsol-CI‘, mllch
pained at the savage scenes she was compelled
' to witness. VVhen the fatal tomahawk was rais-
ed to terminate forever the mortal existence of
the unfortunate l\‘lcKrimmon, at that critical,
that awful mo‘ment,_'i‘v’lilly I~‘i'ancis,_l'ike an angel‘
of mercy, placed herself between it and deaths‘
resolutely bidding the astonished executioner, ll.
he ihirsted for human blood, to shed her’s ;, being
‘. determined, she said, not to survive the prison-
er's death. A momentary pause was produced by
this unexpected occurrence, and she took advan-
tage of the circumstance to implore the pity of
her ferocious father—-who finally yielded to her
wishes ; with the intention, however, it is believ-
P ed, of murdering them both, if he could not sell
McKrimmon to the Spaniards, which was luck-
ily elfected a’fi-.w days after, at St. Marks, for
seven gallons and a half of rum.
As long as he remained a prisoner, McKrim-
mon’s beiiel'acti'ess continued to show him acts
of -kitidness. Now, the fortune of war has pla-
ced hei in the power of the white people, she ar-
rived at Fort Gadsden not long since, with a
number of others, that had surrendered, in a
starving condition. VVe are gratified to learn,
that a proper respect for her virtues induced the
V cotnmanding ofiicer, Col. Arbuckle, to relieve
her immediate wants. M_’Krimmon appears to
have a due sense of the obligation he owes the
woman who saved his life at the hazard of her
own-—.he left town last week to seek her: afld 83
far as may be in his power to alleviate her mis-
fortunes. It is also his firm determination, we
iinderstand, if she will consent, to make her his
wife, and reside; provided he can prevail on her
‘ tefiloso, withinfghe settled-partsof Georgia.
’?’it‘“'ihu'§"appears, that rude and uncultivated
minds are susceptible of the finest sensibility, of
the‘ warmest attachments, of the most inviola-
ble frieiidship—-and that they sometimes display
' virtues, which would do credit to a people the
most“relined and enlightened.

Extract of a letter from that place, dated 13th
Sept. l8l8.——-‘ VVe have this moment received
. official accounts from. Gen. Paez, of his having
it surprised a large party of Spaniards at the vil—
Iago of Bual, near San Carlos, and taken or de-
_stroyetl the wliole——the commanding officer was
., made prisoner: ‘ No se (.’SL‘(I/IO 1:710 ,’ he says...

were at Sati Carlos. on account of the revolt of
the Province of Core (which had been always
faithful to Ferditiaiitl) and their having takeii Ca-
'i'oi'a. Maracaylio is said also to have shaken oil‘.

allow, he will be attacked on all sides with an
