The Indians repeatedly discov-
cred her actions, and, knowing that, if pursued
the garrison, it wotild occasion their own dc-
sttuction, they rushed forward for the purpose of
killing her; several attempts of this kind were
restrained by her Indian lover, who, with threats
of recrimination, warded off their blows. In this
manner our female captives travelled throughout
the night, and on return of day, were exhausted
with fatigue and misery. A momentary delay
took place, whilst the Indians shot a Btilfalo, and
cut off sortie pieces of its llesh. This opportu-
'nity was not lost by Miss A. who endeavored to
influence the feelings of her Indian lover, by
pointing to' her wotinded frame and bleeding feet.

was aifectetl, and after travelling a few miles fur-
ther, he persuatlt:(l his companions to stop, and
while they cooked part of their game, he occupi-

fair captive.
some few hours after the departure oftlie la-
dies from the fort, Major Smith, at that time in
a state of coiivalescence, inquired after them. and
walked to the river for the purpose of joining
their party. He hailed the inhabitants on the
opposite bank, and iiiiding that the ladies were
not there, became alai med, and proceeded with
another person Cl-’J\‘v’ll the river to the canoe,
vrliich they reached by crossing the sand bar.-—
Upon arriving on the other side, they discovered
mocasin tr.icts,antl proceeded with eager and i'ap-
id strides up the ravine, until they assured them-
selves that there were traces of only 3 Intlians
who had seized their female friends. Smith,
with an agoiiizetl mind, sat down, whilst his coin-

Commerce is here in such a state of stagna-
tion, that 800’ young men, vi ho were employed as
clerks in the first coiiiineicial houses of this city,
hat-e been tlismissetl. Every thing seems to ten-
der it probable, that emigration to the United
States of America will be very numerous next
spring. It is not the poorest class of p oplc who
think of eiiiigrating; their distress being such
that they have not the means of leaving their
homes, btit persons antl families in easy circum-
stances. The Prussian authorities do allin llltill‘
power to prevent etnigi-atiuii, p'.u'ticulai ly in their
provinces on this side the Rhine. The govein-
ment has lately published an 0l'(lIllilliCC, tlireaten—
ing with two years imp:'isoiiitit:ii* all stich agents
as should be discoveretl piomoting ciiiigration.
But the truth is, that there are no such ageiits.
and that the inhabitants of the Rliint: expatriate
themselves merely in cotisequence of their own
dctermin_atioti. It is said also that in the spring.
numerous colonies from Swaliia and Switzerland
will arrive at flainburg, to embark fo ' the United
