Do not, I invito you, even wait for the close approach of the troops; but make such preparations for emigration as you can, and hasten to this place, to ltoss' Landing, or to Cantor's Landing, where you all will he received in kindness by officers selected for the purpose.

Cherokee Agency, May 10, lb33. We take the following icu <Vcsprit from the Boston 44 Post" as not inapt to the times. We ought to mention that the Ourang was sold at Auction for $1000. A Serious Question.?The debute in ill n A 1\ /V 1 1 t l/\ 1\ U /vrtlrtt tr ."v?? M .x ? ? mv. .tuuiiuuii | Ull lllUUUIiy CVB- I lting, was very animatcp. The daring I proposition was made that the Ourangi Outang advertised to be sold by Mr. Tyler,' the Auctioneer, on the day following, shouid be rescued, as the slaves were from under the nose of the honorable Chief Justice, last summer. It was clearly ploved that the Ourang was an ornament to human society?a being highly endowed with intellectual powers, and as capable of appreciating and enjoying the blessings c?f freedom as George Thompson himself. The ladies present appeared to take a deep interest in several anecdotes, related by. one of the speakers, of the alfectionate nature of this abused portion of the ^human family." One ol them (Henry Fitzgerald Augustus Outang) fell in love with jiii white lady, and finding his advances rcejected, actually died of a broken heart, \t IU) Word ill nnmnhiinf nr rpnvnnpli w. c I W T J " VUVII ?- l? r -a %?r hear J from his lips. Another, (Orlando Montgomery Outang) seeing a prcty girl standing at her father's door, seized her, and bore her to " his lofYv iioine in! a fot.cst tree." where. 1.o watched her, and : led her with cocoa nuts, tor three weeks,! when his captive escaped and rehired to j licr father's house unharmed.

What the final result will he, time only can determine. OUTANG IS YET. IN CHAINS!! ! fiOVHU.VOli S j Fellow Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives'. Iu exercising, at this season, my constitutional authority of convening the Legislature, I cannot assign 110 other considerations in vindication of the propriety of my course, than such as have already addressed themselves, with melancholy force to the heart of every citizen in the State. The few suggestions I shall offer 1 . . 1 ii.a ii* .1 arc suommeu wan an me aeiorcnco moi is due to the superior wisdom of the body that I have the honor of addressing.? They are impressed upon my mind by much and anxious reflection on the results * that may flow from the calamity that has brought us together. The whole plant* ing and commercial interests of our couu try arc involved in those of Charleston.? She is our seaport, our emporium, our pride. She is the very heart of our great Western Rail Road, the outlet and channel of all our direct importing trade. A check to her prosperity is a blight upon the health, the strength, the glory of the whole State. It is not my desire to awaken your sympathies by a detail of individual suflcring, great as it may be; nor by painting the melancholy scene of irresistible destruc* tion which I witnessed upon the spot. A i general summary of the extent of this (lis-! aster is enough. One hundred and fortyfive acres, of the richest part of Charleston, arc now clothed in ruin. Properly to the amount of three or four millions has I ecu utterly destroyed, a very small portion of which was insured out of the city. Some of the insurance offices will exhaust their whole capital, the portion of orphans and widows, to meet their liabilities; and the less has fallen severely upon all. One thousand buildings in the commercial part of the town are levelled to the ground. Five thousand souls arc driven trorn the shelter of their homes; of whom a large portion arc without employment, and perhaps one third without the MCon*-- I t obtaining daily bread except I from charity. The total annihilation of the resources of men in business will drag ' into the common ruin, their creditors who have aided them with funds, for the prosecution of their useful occupations. It is difficult to estimate the number of those, as well without, as within the city, who may be saved from the hoplessncss of utter destitution by the timely proffer of yuur ueipiug naiKI. As our in tlier oily, consecrated in the direction of every patriot by the proudest associations of his countiy's history, Charleston is entitled to the pious cure ami filial regard of the State. A nation loses caste that will abandon the objects of its ancient pride and veneration, and becomes degraded in its own eyes, and before the world. Whether the citizen consults his glory or his*interest, the fate of ine metropolis is his; tier prospe rity is his prosperity?her decay is his disgrace and shame. I have already hin'edat tlie probable effects of the lute ca ani y upon the pr>?spects of our great Kail Ruttd, and of ihe noble scheme of Direct Importations.? These two indeed niuv he regarded us tm< great engine for the exchange of the wealth of Europe and the West; reaching with one urn. over the declivity ??t mountains, with the other su mounting the no less formidable hurries of established custom. Are not these ruly national institutions? I* ll.il tlm *il.. .. ..I...I 1 ? ..... .iiv .-Kin |iiriigru III IIIIHOr and interest to support them? l)o they not involve the prosperity of every inch of her territory and every individual of her population? South Carolina was the foremost to commence, to urge, to sustain and cherish these wise undertakings. Shall South Carolina now be the first to abandon them? But Charleston is the centre of their existence, from her alone they can derive life and useful activity.? If she pines unaided, they too must dwindle and decay; if she sinks, they must tall with her ruin, leaving only tneir mommy as u lasting reproach to the weak vanity that in so grand a projeol failed so miser jhlv ~-J Public and private sympathy have nobly performed their ollice by muuificci contributions for the relief of those who are reduced to want. Disdaining ihe calculations of sordid policy, and yielding to ,the generous impulse of an elevated social feeling, hvul cities have advanced rwith prompt magnanimity to the reliel of Charleston.? Prom almost every State in the Union, and more especially from e?ory city and village in the Stale of Georgia, the most substantial evidence i as been received of a deep feeling for our allliction. But all that charity can effect is the relief of iudividuil distress. Thousands have been cuniiibutcd, but thousands cannot replace the loss of millions. *r.? ?l.n energy and wise liberality of the hlUlo vrv ?

You arc urged then by every motive to lly to the assistance of your suifering city Yon will not let her sinlt, now, in the sis of her struggles. But your aid, to be efficient, must be promptly afforded. Delay and disappointment at tins season may lead to irretrievable mischiefs, such as 110 time can repair. You can now prevent evils which you may never have it in your power to remedy. You :;vy prevent valuable citizens from yielding to dependency, and leaving the State iDfiri\ I'uijjioymem miner Kinucr auspices. Yon may propent foreign trade from deserting your ports (or those where prosperity will inspire greater confidence.? We may do this now; but a few months hence might he loo late. Stripped of her trade, drained of her capital, deserted by her improverisli citizens, her spirit chilled and sickened by disappointment, she might fall a rapid victim to our delay, a sad monument of the baneful effects of indecision. If the citv were to he saved by the gratuitous donations of millions from the public treasury, the money would be wisely spent. lint let it not be imagined that 1 recommend, or that Charleston tie an i.3 diiuii u11 <i|i|Jt>j;riuii<>ii. nrit- usks | only that you will interpose your c. edit; [ that you will become the guarantee of a debt us safe as any tiling earthly enn be.

Sotil'i Carolina has yet proved equal to every crisis. May she not now falter in a noble course, prompted by generous impulse, ami sanctioned by a prudent policy.

The Boston papers aro circulating an anecdote some thing to this elFect of President IIusjpiirev, of Amherst College. lie entered the Hall one mornining to hear hi< class, and found that some wag a ' f.istcn< d a goo o in his presidential chair. He m ook no notice of tno suppressed laug iter that was " going the rounds, but simply turned 011 his heel and loft the room, with tf.> remark that the class scorned to stand in no need 01 iiis instruction that morning, ^ since they had provided themselves with a substitute i . so abundantly qualified to instruct them. We c m l>eat this with a similar one about Dr. Coo-; I rEn. During thovacanco of the cliaplainey,thc Dr.was in tlto habit of reading prayers before the students, . a the ccustoincd hour. On ono occasion he found j the pulpit pro-occnpiod by an unfortun te calf, that, ? w!ion he entered, w is bawling away most iteously. The poor tiling was speedily (lit mi fixed from its pun- . toral ch'irge, and sent olf to the barn yard. After its removal the students sat in awful silence, expecting momentarily somo terrible denunciation to be J levelled nl the concealed author of the outrage.? ^ Tiie pause continued unbroken, un'til one of tho pro l r : ? ? 1 ---a ?i i-!- __ ? .... icksuip, in iiiu pii [iiuiuc ui ins sympathy, wishing, also to represent tiio otTcnce us void of any personal bearing, asked what could possibly have moved the students to such a foolish, unmeaning, nonsensical r| trick. " 1 really can't imagine," said the Dr. mil- ? singly, " unless it was their exceseivc fondness for i representative government." In a debating sociely in North Carolina, the ' question was recently debated, "ought public oxo. * cutions to be performed in private." * The Baltimore papers bring accounts of a serious tornado in that city. The destruction of property was quite extensive. The zinc roof upon tho new Christ Church, was blown oil" and rolled no into a scroll as if by tho influence ot sumo powerful ma- ' chiuery.
