Frons the CuAtr. Meyx"IM. 6. As, no donut, a curiosity exists in the public mind, io know. the cause which led S4ho.death of Oscelaia-the distinguished Seminolo Chief, and as many reports may be circulated on the subject-I have deemed it advisable togive publicity to a statement of the circumstances attending his last ilness. - Lam impelled, moreover, to do this from another motive-theisense of myself and those entrusted with hissafe keeping. Be ing conscious that nothing has been omitted in the discharge of that trust, which could in any way have contributed to-the health and comfort of the disease. On the 26th January last, he was attack e-1 in the night with a violent Quinsy, of which I was iufoirmed very soon afler, and hastened to his room. lie was then labor ing under considerable ditliculty of degluti tion and respiration, accompanied with pain und inflanmmation of the tonsils. To pre vent stfocation it was necessary to support him nearly in an erect position. His pulse was full, quick, and 1ard. Blood was in stantly drawn, and an emetic and blister prescribed. At this moment an Iudian en tered the room, who as I afterwards under etood. was held in high estimation as a Pophet and Doctor. From the moment of his ent rance there was a refusal to take any thing. Finding myself debarred from the ad minis'ration of suitable remedies, and feel ing the responsibility devolving upon mie, 1 reqiuested Professor B. B. Strobel to visit the patient with ine. lio attended and us ed his best exertions to prevnil on the pa tient to submit to treatment, such as scari fication, leeching,$ect., but he peritinaciously refused. not but he would have been dispos ed to acquiesce, had lie not been over-rujed by the inflence of his family. F. WEEDON. Assistant Surgeon. Fort Moultrie Sullivan's Island, Feb. 3. At the reqest of Dr. Weedon, I visited Osceola at Sullivan's Island, I saw him in the evening by candle-light. lie was lying on his blanket before the lire, his head propped ul, and two Indian women, one on each side, employed bathing his neck with warm water, in which sonic herbs had been steeped. Ile was breathing with mue: dilliculty, his brow was con traltel, and his countenance indicat ing great bodily pain. IHis pulse was full and quick, skin hot and dry. I re quested permnission, through the interpreter to examine his throat, to which lie assented I discovered that the tonsils were so mteh enlarged as greatly to impede respiration and that the mucous meambratncs of the pharnyx, was in a high state of inflamation As there was some danger of suffocation unless the disease was arrested, I proposed to scarify the tonsils. 'Tie patient refer ed us to his conjurer, who was sitting on the floor, covered up in his blanket, with ill the air and dignity of a great man. lie said No ! I next r..-1srcT TO nprily - 1 'ehos toji -A'ot and back of the.ears. - ue~~mm i.zlju[i i "" j .S~ e A4&71 some medicine and a stimulating wash to be applied internally-which lie also refus ed-saying, that if the patient war- not be ter in the morning he would give him tip to its. 1 urged, entreated and persuaded him to let ts do something, for although I did not doubt his aility, to cure in the woods, where lie could have access to his roots amid herbs, yet hmere lie was pilaced tin dler different circumnstances, anmd as lhe had no means wvitin his reach, begged him to yield up time patienit to us, All was in vain, amnd we were finially compelled to abandon Osceola to his fate. In caneltisioni, 1 have no hesitation in dieclatring, thai I entirely coinicidle with time vieo and prescriptiotns of D~r, Weedlon, and I believe that hadt lie been perimittedl, to pu ,ihe-n ini practice time piatic-nt would have recovered.

All the buildings destro3ed on 5th and 6th street and Avenue D, were handsome two story brick dwelling houses, not oie stone of which is left now standing, the flames having raged with a violence and rapidity that threatened destruction to all the surrounding buildings. In the confu sion which prevailed, it was next to imnpos sibility to ascertain the amount of loss, or the amount for which insurance had been eilected ; but as far as we have been able to learn, the loss amounts to over $250,000. and the insurance to about one fourth that sum. The loss however must be most severely felt by the numerois families, wlhoso property has been destroyed, and who were turned in the street to shift for themselves as they best could. The build ings were mostly owned by J. G. Coster, Esq. and were under the agency of James Fickctt, Esq., Mr. F. also owned several of the building. but we have not learned wheth er he was insured. FirE.-About 4 o'clock yesterday morn ing, the store on the corner of WVest Broad way and Leonard streets was discovered to be on fire. On examining the premises, a false key was fimund in the door. whichI lends to a supposition that the premises were robbed, and set on fire hy incendiaries. The building was occupied by Wim. Green, a colored inan, as a dry good store. The loss of stock is estimated at $1800; $1000 of which was covered by insurance. The fire did not extend beyond the store. From the Charleston Couricr, Feb. 6. Di.:vrn or DiR LE.T.:ra .-Thie following are extracts of letters, addressed to a gen. tlenan of this city, received yesterday: IsntAN RIVER, Jan. 19.1838.

In consequence of the above, rumor was rife, that a regular set too, or pitched bat tle, was to be fought at the Sante hlouse, this morning, between the two above named members of the "Uuiou and Ilarmony" party, from the county of Philadelphia ; but nothing transpired until alher the adjourn meut of the House, when as they were going out, Mr. Samuel F. Reed accosted his colleague, Mr. Stevenson, in the portico and suiting tetion to the word, gave him a blow. A clinch,.and some blows followed, in which Mr. Reed appears to have come otut thec better man : but they werec imme diately parted by the interference of )r. Pennyman, and Mr. Hayes, of the Iouse, and some others of the crowd. before there was a Lair test of their pugilistie skill. The principal damage done was the sore rent of' Mr. Reed's coat. MORE PACKED hloutEs.--Another at tempt to send off' human corpses, packed mii barrels, was discovered and fraustratc. yes terday, and it resulted in something so near ly appronching to an implication on the part of a certain department connected with our city economy, as to give those dis posed a fair opportunity for rumoring sur mises and possibility of character not very creditable to those whose departments are concerned. The case was this. During Tuesday night. unknown to any person be longing to the vessel, a barrel marked "Small & Masters, Portland," was put on board the Portland schooner Alfred, lying at Conies slip, where it was found in the morning; besides which another barrel, siinilkrly marked, was found stattding lby aho side of the sehoontter, Ott the tiddle pier of the slip, Tle acting mate of the vessel who said he knew the names of every firm in Portland, told the captain that lie had never heard of such a house as that to which the harrels were directed : which fact connected with the irregular manner in which the barrels had been placed there, and the recaollection of the "Southern Pork" e'ses of recent occurrence, induced the suspicion that this might be a shipment of similar character. in consequence of this suspicion the barrel was opened, and one was found to contain the bodies of two white females, one quite old anid the other about thirty live, and the other cottained the corpse of a white ttan who had attain ed to tmiddle atge. luformation of the dis covery was sent to the police oflice, and the coroner hal the barrel and cotents con veyed up to the dead house, in the alms house yard, in which the corpses were removed from the casks and placed on the floor for exhibition. .The coronet. then stumioned a jry and proceeded-1n hold an inuest on the bodies. -. t rotm aheir extremelv emacaiated :ap pearance, anild the abltnnt('e of any appear anes of violence, the jury eame to the coa elusiou that in each ease death had result ed frot disease, and they rendered a ver diet accordingly.
