Yesterday, the funeral of Tuck-a-lix tah, (the owner of many honse*,) a promising >. brave of the Pawnees, who died, after along 1 illness, at Mrs. Maher'g hotel, took place at one o'clock, p. m. The coffin of fine raabog- > any waa made by Mr. A. Buchly, undertaker, under whose management the funeral < was placed. The body was placed in the coffin and beautifully decorated with flowers. From t an early hour until one o'clock, the houso 3 was crowded with visitors, who desired to 1 see the corpse before 11 was :ni*rr*d' Upon the arrival of the Rev. J. 0. Smith, the min I ister selected for the oeoasioo, the ceremony ! began with a abort prnyer. After whicn Kasharo-lad-a-ho-he, (Big chief,) of the Tappet) band of Pawnees, delivered a short ad- 3 dress expressive of their affliction from the t death of the young brave. The coffin wae placed in the hearse and the Pawnees fol- I lowed as mourners in coaches; after them I the Sioux and delegations of other tribes; 3 then came a long line of carriages contain- I ing ladiea and gentlemen, who were invited | to attend the funeral. 1 Upon arriving at the Congressional Cem- 1 ataaw tka iwaoaus 1 An wraa fnvmo/1 ltoarlo/l Ktr several citizens acting as pall bearers, who bora the corpse to the grave ; then followed the minister; Mr. Mix, Acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs; Major ?>enniaon, agent of the Pawnees; Mr. AUis, interpreter of the Pawnees; Rev. Mr. Williamson, as in interpreter of the Sioux? then the Pawnees, Sioux and other delegations, in line. After the eottn was deputed iB ike grave, the tomahwak, war eiub, moccasins and trinkets of the deoeased were put in, and over all bis buffalo robe. Again the Ber. Mr. Smith addressed the throne of Grace with a dtort prayer that the death of the stranger might open the hearts of hi* brethren a way for tod Holy Spirit which should result in their eternal good. The prayer being concluded, 1 Le-ita-a-nasharo, (Sword Chief.) of the Loup band of Pawnees, spoke as follows: 441 feel very poor, now that my young man has died. It makes me feel as if the Sreat Sprint ia not pleased with us; l>ut He has done it, and we are satisfied. The 9real 8pirit has taken him. Wo feel satisled, too, with our Great Father, now that ne lias done all this for him, and buried tar young brave like one of his own great shtels; and we feel glad that all these white men and women are our friends, and feel Co much for the poor Indian. When we go tack, our people will not understand this mysterious act of the Great Spirit. But we ?re very tired now; we want to go home tnd tell our people that tl)9 Great Spirit ;ook him ; that while he came to do good >usiness for them, he died, and he sleeps n our Great FatHer's burying ground. We lope our Great Father will settle our business and let ns go to our villages. We will 'eel poor when we think that we have led >ur young man behind us; but, on our reurn, other scenes may make us forget this morning." lifiv. Mr. Smith here made some repnarks ncpressive of sympathy for the Indians in ue loss 01 inetr brave; and was followed by Vfr. Mix, Acting Commissioner of Inditsn ^airs, who said : " I wish to impress upon their minds that .he death of their brave was the, act of the 3reat Spirit, and it should make them beter Indians, as it shows his great power.? Hie-burying of their brave, and the sympathy of our people, and the kindness of '.heir Great Father, I hope will induce them when in their villages to ireat our people, uen, women and children; kindly. The Pawne?3 are a bravo people, and the Great father will set a maiR on ibis grave, so that f nny of their braves ever come here and wish to seo the spot where the young brave ileeps, they can find it." The remarks were interrupted by Mr. Alis, the worthy interpreter of the Pawnees, n whom they have great confidence, he laving gone among them in 183S as an aslistant missionary, nnd lived among them till about four years ago, when he removed to Iowa. Rev. Mr. Williamson, who interpreted to lie Sioux; is an Indian missionary. We are informed that the deceased re-1 luested Major Dennison, two days before his leatii, to his dug and prepared for him immediately. [ Washington Evening Star. Deceiving Children. I was spending a few days with an inti nate friend, and never did I *ee a more sysematic house wife, and what then t*rmrd o me, one who had so quiet and complete ttnlrol of her child. But the secret of the atter I soon teamed. One evening she wished to spend with me at a neighbor's? t wns a small social gathering of friends, herefore, she was verv desirous of attend ng, but hor child demanded her presence with him, and bearing him say his prayers, he said: " Willie, did you not see that pretty little citten in the streets to-day 1" " Yes, I did," he replied ; 44 I wish I had ler; wasn't she pretty t" " Yes. very ; now, don't you want me to >uy the bitty for you f Perhaps the man will sell her." 44 Oh, yes, mother, do buy her." 44 Well, then, be a gcod boy while I am gone;" thus saying, she closed the door, but le immediately called her back. 44 Don't go till morning, then I can go with you ; won't you stay I" 44 No, Willie I the man won't sell it if I lon't go to-night; so be a good boy." tie said no more, but quietly lay down. "Is this the way you govern your child?" laid I, after we had gained the streets; " if |rou but knew the injury you are doing, yon would take a different course." 44 Injury I" she repeated, 44 why, what larm nave I done f I did not tell him I poufd see the man?I only asked him if I r hould." ' 44 Hut you gave him to understand that rou would. He is not old enough to detect be difference now, but he soon will be.? rben, I fear, you will perceive your error too Ale. You have yourself grafted a thorn in the young rose, which will eventually pierce irou most bitterly. You cannot break off .he thorn, or club the point, to make it less piercing. On your return, he will not see he kitten, therefore, you will have to invent mother falsehood to conceal the first." We bad now gained our friend's door, which ended our conversation, During the evening she seemed gayer than usual; my words bad little or no effect upon her. Bhe Jid not think her little one was doing all be jould to keep awake to see the coveted kitten on her return, wondering what made 4 mother gope so long," ft was late ere 1 reminded her we ought to return. Hut little was said during our homeward walk.? She went noiselessly into the room, supposing her boy aaleep; but be beard bar, and Mid ; 44 Mother, is that you I Dave vou brought the kitten f I kept awake to aeo it, and I waa so sleepy !M 44 No, my dear; the man would not sell her." "Why won't ha,, mother!" ha asked, with quivering lip*. " I don't know ; I suppose be wants her J to catch rats and mice. M Did he say so, mother !** " He did not say just that, but I thought \ he meant so." j, M I did want it so bad, mother." The little Hps quivered, and the tears \ started to his eyes. He rubbed them with bis little hands, winking very fast to keep ? them back, hut they would come ; at last he Qj fell asleep with the pearly drops glistening -y on his ro#y cheeks. The mother's glistened also. As she knelt to kiss them away, he ^ murmured softly in his broken slumber, "I n did want .it so bad." j( She turned her dewy eyes to me, saying, " You have led me to see my error. Never ^ will I again, let what will be the conse- c< quence, deceive my child to please uiyself." n Mother, aro you practicing the same de- u caption t If you are. pause and think of w the consequences ere it is too late. Does it L) uv/v imwcii your oonnuence in a person when you find out that they hare been deceiving you! Will it not also diminish that of ? your children in you, when they become old ^ enough to detect it f Besides, it would bo very strange if they themselves did not ini- _ tiate you in things of greater importance. jr It is the pride and joy of a mother's w heart to gain and retain the entire confi- w dence of her child, and it is in her power to jr do so if she but exercise that power by pre- j, cept and example. t, [JVeta York Independent. w Battle of King's Mountain. j An interesting article in the January No. j1 of *he University Magazine?the materials 1 for which we suppose were furnished by H Gov. Swain?is devoted to a sketch of the ? life and character of Col. James Williams, . one of the five commanders at King's Moun- ^ lain, and the only one of them who fell in 1 the glorious victory. After devoting ten ^ pages to the subject, the writer dosses as . follows: No man has ever seen?no man will ever r< see?a King's Mountain muster roll. None ever existed. The followers of Fitz James and Kliodcric Dhu, with few exceptions, can c< be iudividualzed by history with as much " certainty a > the gallant men who aiisweieu 1 the silver whistle of Furguson with the death-defying shout of Williams, and the " echoing voice of a thousand lities. It is perhaps impossible to show with P mucli certainly, not merely who they were, " but whence they came. Col. Preston, in his ,r address at the anniversnry celebration of 1855, supposes the little army to have been lt Composed of men, nearly in equal numbers from Virginia, North Carolina and South * Carolina. If North Carolina had been as fully aud as ably represented at the celebra- 11 lion as in the Pat tie field?at the feast as 81 in the fight?we would probably have had a different estimate. " Leave slaughter to the Turkish hordes And shed the blood of Scio's vine." " It appears from official accounts of the battle, recently exhumed by Mr. Lossing, . from the papers of Gen. Gates, that on the ' 25lh of September 1780, Col. Campbell with 400 Virginians, Col. Isaac Shelby with * 240 men from Washington county, N C., assembled at Watauga, where they were n joined by Col. Charles McDowell with 100 n men from Burke And Rutherford. They be r< gun the march across the mountain on the 26th, and the 30th, on the Catawba, tbeir forces were augmented by the addition of 250 men from Wilkes and Surry, under j Col. Cleveland. When they reached the Cow- |T] pens on the 6th of October, they were met by Col. James Williams. At the time the r. ;.tMali^M t 1 ?? * w juhvuuu km lorineu Will) Williams, tl)6 c( army wm composed of 400 Virginians un- s| der Campbell, and 990 North Carolinians under Shelby, Sevier, McDowell and Cleve- J land. From these 1396 men from Virginia (j( and Noith Carolina, and from Williams' reg iment, 000 of the best horsemen were so- w lecied for the attack, and on the following fe day the victory was won. ai The number of men who fought under w Williams, will never be ascertained, and the M proportion from South Carolina, it a matter cg perhaps of still greater uncertainty. 'p The authority to raise a company of c( mounted men in Caswell, indicates one cle- u| ment of Williams' regiment. The father of ^ the lion. Anderson Vlitchell, of Wilkes, was w a member of the Caswell company. 0| The second ascertainable element of this |r is the sixty men under ilambrighl and Chronicle, from then Tyron, now Lincoln ^ county. . fo 'l he third (perhaps,) about 30 Georgians, _j under Major Chandler and Capt.

Williams, with j,( a few South Carolina militia, in the evening arrived at a place called Cowpena, in South Carolina," dec. The South Carolinians under Williams, were doubtless the elite of the 8|| Bute, probably from the Waxhaw in larger proportion than any other settlement, and ^ braver men than these, who with the infant Jackson were nurtured in the military school of Davie, were nowhere to be found. bl [ow Washington Behaved When He wat in the Wrong.

Wash igton was a warm friend of Colonel Fair ix, and a Mr. Payne headed the friends o! Ir. Elizey. A dispute taking place in lh< jurt house yard, Washington, at this tirrn ot twenty-two years of ago, contrary to hii sua! manner, became excited, ana, what as still more uncommon, said something lat offended Mr. Payne, whereupon the lit e gentleman, who, 'though but a cub ir ze, raised his sturdy hickory, and by a sin le blow brought Washington to tbi round. "Several of Washington's officers beinj resent, they whipped out their irons in ar istant, and it was supposed that then ould be murder offhand.

In an admirable discourse by President t Hopkins on "The importance of the Sab. bath to the purity and perpetuity of free inl stltutTons," he says : i . u The Sabbath is not, as many seem to suppose, an institution slightly connected l with the other arrangements of God. It I may seem so at first, but trace its connec . tions, and you will find it inseparably blend . ing with the arrangements of God for the . olovation and well being of man. Its law of rest is instnraped upon the physical or ganization of all beings capable of labor. whether of bodv or mind, and in its simplicf itv and vniiety of adaptation, like the air, and > the light, and tho water, it bears the evident i impress of the hand of God. IIow simple, ) and yet while it meets the wants of the ex L hausted animal, how evidently was it ' made r for man ' in ail conditions, and in all his relations. I " How perfectly is it adapted to the Inbor. ing man in his toil, to the young man in his ? Ipmiitntinn tn K.??C- ?- * . , w uiisnicsn iiikii in nis perplexities, to the scholar in his exhausting r process of thought, and to the statesman as i bearing the burthens of public life.

Kept as God's command, it would im? prove the individual inan physically, intels lecuially, morally. In his social relations.it e would secure purity and harmony ; in his civil relations, security and freedom. It il would unite man to man, and all men to I God.

Origin of the Mormons. 1 It will be recollected that about a year ago a Mormon emissary nameu Phi ley P. . Pratt was killed in Arkansas, by one Mc . L>ean, whoso wife ho bad persuaded to leave her family, to become one of his" spiritual " . harem in Utah. We find the following statement among the writings of this Pratt, j who was known as one of their ablest and t most zealous propagandists : " The Book of Mormon contains the history of the ancient inhabitants of Amejica. 5 who were a branch of the house of Israel, > of the tribe of Joseph, of whom the Indians , are still a remnant ; but the principal nation t of them having fallen in battle in the fourth I or fifth century ; one of the prophets, whose f name was Mormon, saw fit to tnake an s abridgement of their history ; their prophc? ciea and their doctrines, which he engraved on plates, and afterwards, being slain, the j second fell in the hands of his son, Moroni, , who, being hunted by enemies, was directed to deposit the ward safely in the earth, with a promise from God that it should be pre r served, and should be brought to light in i the latter days by means of a Gentile na tion, who shonld possess the land." I The deposit was made about the year - 420, in a hill called Cumora ; in what is i now Ontario County, where it was preserved - until it was brought to light by no less than I the ministry of angels, and translated by in r spiration. I As to the meaning and derivation of the I word Mormon, we are favored with the foli lowing absurd etymology from Joe Smith I hims/df " : J , uuui hi uis impuaence and hia ignorance: , " The Bihlo, in its widest sense, means \ good. Wu s??y from the Saxon, good ; the , Dane, god ; the Goth, goda ; the German, i gut; lire Dutch, goed ; the Latin, bonus*; - the Greek, Kalos ; the Hebrew, tob; and > the Egyptian, mor?. Hence, with the addi i tion of more, or the contraction mm, we have the word mor mon, which means, lite rally, more good." (!) i Hard to Kill.? We should judge that i a hog was a hard animal to starve to death from the following incident related to its by ? geniKMtiHii u. nils place, Tor tlie truth of % which he vouches. On the 18th of Decern1 ber last a drove of hogs were put in a lot t for a few days. When driven out one was r missing, and could be found nowhere. On > last Saluiday. it was found at the bottom B of an unoccupied ice house on the lot, sup posed to have fallen in there by rooting un der the boarding. Whm taken out it was alive, but very poor. Our informant thinks , there was no possible chance for it to have l gotten anything to drink for the space of nearly three months. There was a little ? wheat straw around it which probably pre ? served its life for so long a lime. [Democrat, Charlotte, N. C.

The matter is agreed upon. A. returns home, and receives a letter informing him of the loss of his ship. What shall he do !

So he writes thus to A.: 4 Friend A., thee he'est too late by half an hour, the policy is filled.' A. rubs bis bands with delight; yet B. refuses to )>ay. Well, what is ibc decision ?

The 1)akk of Newberry.?A late paragraph boasted of the large purchases of cotton drafts by this Bank since the relief action of the Legislature, and exullingly stated that but a small amount had been applied for by way of ordinary discount. Knowing it to be n puff more than a reality, we did not copy the information. But a friend just from Newberry gives us a more unerring index of the popular appreciation?or rather execration?of this institution, in the fact that the grand jury, at the recent term of the court for that District, presented it as a nuisance, which the Stale owes it to her people to abate. Tnis is a step in the right direction, and we hope other places will follow up the plan.? Spartan. Twinny Affair.?We learn that a gentleman who resides in Johnston County, N.
