[From the St. 1'aul l>e?iearat, Not 18 j
The removal of the Sioux Indiana te their new home,
on the npper Minnesota, has been thoroughly effected. It
has been come week* since any of their dirty vl^gns have
been mnnlfeat in our streets, and many of the newly ar
rived em grants have expressed their disappointment at
not being able to male tbeir optica with the sight or a
lire Indian. Never before have we known a tribe of In
diaim removed from their ancient tomes so quietly,
peaceably, and with such small expense to the govern
ment To the judicious measure* of (;ov. Gorman, and
the indefatigable exertions of Agent Murphy, assisted by
the influence and eo operation of the traders, this welcome
result may be attribute 1. Our correfpondent, ' Sauvage,"
who attended the recent annuity payment at the tew
?MMp, gives, in another oolumn, an interacting picture
of the location.
Gov. Gorman baa signed the death warrant of the Sioux
Indian Yu-heza, who waa last fall convicted and sentenced
for the murder of an emigrant woman on the Minnesota
river. The laws of our territory prohibited the execu
tion of the criminal until a year subsequent to the oon
viotion, which time having elapsed,the prisoner is doomed
to undergo the penally of the law os i ri la/, thu 26th

Fir* and Loss of Lifi in Virginia?The Bed
ford Xentinrl of December 2, states that a most distress
ing casualty occurred a few niles south of Kuans, in
tbat county, on Sunday afternoon last, by which two
{firstns (Mrs. Nancy Spradiln, widow of the late Abner
pradlin, aged about 05, and her daughter, Mahals,
probably si me 48 years of age,) lost their lives. They
were burnt to death in endeavoring to savs a portion of
their property from their dwelling boose,which had taken
fire. After entering the building they had scarcely
reached the back part of the room, when, with a tremen
dous crash, a mass of burning timbers fell from the roof
to the floor, between them and the door, thus etTsotaally
rlosirg tiie only avenue of eaoape. Tne mother, becoming
stifled with the smoke, and overcome by the intensity of
the heat, was unable to extrioate herself from her peri
loua poiition. and perished in the house, being literally
burnt up. The daughter, however, made a desperate
effort for her life, ana succeeded, by rasking through the
flames, in gaining the open air, but her clothes having
taken (ire in the sot. she was so badly burnt as to cause
her death in a short time after she reaehed the yard.
The SenUnd further learns, that on the sftarnoon of the
same day, and bat a short diatanoe from the soene of the
above dlsastsr, an eld negro man was also burnt to death.
He had been left by some of the family, sitting by the
Ire place, la the kitchen of Mr. P. Dix. Daring their
absence he had, as Is supposed, fallen from his seat and,
upon their return, was found lying on the lire, his body
partially consumed.
Circumstantial Btidinoi.?The JBrunsunek
T'lrrraph states, thst on the 28 th nit. two young men
were arrested in thtt town on a charge of having mur
dered a lad named ltoseoe Colsoa. It seems that on the
eeeoingln question the three were together at Ihe " Old
Beom House," and an altercation essned between the
Sang men and Coleon, which ended in Oolson's leaving
e house a little alter midnight, threaten!^ " to bring
somebody who would take eare ef them." He wai fol
lqwed in a few minatee by the roong men, and waa art
heaid'from again for isveral weeks. Ia the meantime it waa
rumored that outortes had been heard in that vicinity on
the night In question, and a report was spread that arti
ales belonging te the lad had been seen im possession of
one of the alleged murderers. The two wore accordingly
arrested on suspicion, and held for examination. Kor
tsnately for them, however, the supposed deeeaeed made
his appearance, alive and well, in season to be present on
the ocossion. He ^stated as a reason for his absenoe,
that after their quarrel he had pieoocdcd to Bath, where
he found employment, and remained, quite ignorant of
the unpleasant suspicions to which his depart are had

Or. R*ph*ll delivered laat Monday evening the fifth of t
court* of lecture* upon the aacre^ i'oetry of the Hebrews
Be spoke in aubetance a* follow!We ntu ta thit even
ing'! lecture upon the in most sanctuary of sacred poetry.
Until thin period we hare not approached the sanctuary of
Hebrew poe?y. Unlike the literature of other nation*, the
literature of the Hebrew* doe* not proceed from infancy
to perfection. The writing* of Monei, one of the earliest
ant Lorn, have never but Hurpas?ed. It Is not in relation
10 Its ex."eilence, but with respect to ita continuity and
richness, that I nay we have been, as yet, In the outward
court of Hebrew poetry. We shall commence to night
with the Deborah'* cbannt of victory It it ?o rrand in
its conception, to beautiful and regular in ita verse, that
it afforda U3 a coirplete ode, wi '.tten eight hundred years
before l'indar I Thi.s ode, and the chaant of Mosn* after
crotaieg the Ked Hea, prove* to ua the high degree of
culture which peoph had arrived at la those remote
perioda. And whil? the ode of Deborah presents
all the ardor requisite to constitute a sublime battle
song, there is a deeper feeling that it i* the l.ord God of
Israel who in the cauae of the victories achieved. You
all Ulow how Jabin commuted the government of hi*
country to Siaera?how SUera tyranlzed over the people
how they implored help, and God gave them help in De
borah, the prophet era. She ast ern Med a band of patriots
under her inspired dlreotion?they ruth upon the foe,
and conquer. After the victory she prepares to 'Her to
the i.ord her God hiJr pr?Ls?j; and cUU upon the people to
join. Tl.U it the first exordium iu her oe'e?to be found
In the Aec.ondatd third verses of the fifth ohapter of
Judges, la thua<cond exordium she dra^s the attention
of the people to their present deliverance and future du
ties oho contra1-ts their vlct iry with th?lr late abject
condition of slavery. Tiere caa be to us no batter proof
of the estimation in which woman was hel l among the
Israelites of old, than teat Deborah can find no greater
character to admire in her song than "a mother in
Israel " We Invariably find in Scripture that woman was
not only considered equal to man, but in her highest
quality, a mo her, the was c uniJered hit superibr.
In Deborah'* ode she first calls on all th* people to join
with her in her pramei?then, when expectation is raised,
she begiuB her battle song. "Aioune thytelf, l>abo:ah '.
Son of Abitoam, lead forto thy captives.'' The captives
?re led forth, and Deborah begins to flog. In the first
at ophe she awarcs praise to those who ha/e fought their
r<-entry'a battle*. In the aeoond, she lashes those cow ?
unllj spirits who shrunk back, and preferred the despot
i-in of a tyrant. In the two l'.illoviug strophes she des
cribes the batt e, and the Inst two are devoted to the fall
of the tyrant Pistra. Tre idxth strophe la considered one
of the h'ghest Uijhta of lyrlo p^try. It Introduces the
mother of Sisera, and de?cribes her Irapatlense at the
de'a.V of her son. She imagines him victorious. She
spt ak* of his spoilt, and seems to take up every artiole
and examine them. The ode onclu 'es with this splendid
contrast. " Thui perish all thine enemies, O Lord"' He
(the lecturer) dwelt with unusual length upon this
ode, becau.se he considered that the EoglUh version
Lad not done it justice. Nothing but what is
inspired is in the Bible, and this is one reason that
its poetry is so sui?r excellent. When the land of
I>rael was conquered, it waa divided into twelve States.
Their condition resembled that of the Swiss cantons, or
the United States of America. Hut they bad not then
arrived at a repreaentative government. The act of
confederation was the law of Mosea?the seat of govern
ineiM was the temple of the l ord. Aa lo>g aa this was
the case, the people were united and happy. But when
they became acquainted with heathen nations, the re
straints which their law exaoted beoame burdensome.
The consequence was that their oenfederation fell to
pieces, end the dial inct tribes beoame easily a prey to
the invader. As early aa the day a of Deborah, we hnd
that only two tribes would light their country'a battles.
In like manner, 8mi>soq wm left single handed to main
tain the dignity of his country. Toess dissensions ba
came incurable whea the song of Ell oorrupted their
sacred cilice, and, therefore, we oannot be mrprlsed that
most of the Hebrew composition* were thus destroyed
A better *ta'e of things began with Samuel. This
prophet of the Lord wan approved of by the
people, for in him they found talent, courage,
and devotion to God. He freed the country from the
Philistines, and not only administered .justice and psr
formed his religious dutiea, but he founded the school of
the 1'rophe a David, Ashur, the aons of Korah, and all
the great Hebrew piota since Samurl'a ti ne, received
their education in these achoola Samuel at last, yield
ing to the wli-hes of the people, gave thtm a kiijg. That
king was Saul. He had tone of those good qualities
which a king required, except courage. He was jealous,
haughty," ana of an unruly temper. He fell Into a moody
disposition, and lis servants sought for tome oue to
oharm away the "evil spirit." David, whose hi.?twyyou
nil know, was found for the task. He at first a favor
ite?then obliged to fly?pursued and maltreated?be
came eventually the champion of I-rael, and too'i his
peat on Israel's throne. At a king and at a man, David
is equally great; but It is ohiedy aa a poet that he de
rounds our admiration. His empire has cease! to exist,
but bit fODga still survive, and will endure until
the end of tuue. In hit Terse he lays his
heart open to us?he nnveila hia very soul.
His very fault* have proved of advautage to mankind
They afford us the great mora' lesson that even David
eon Id fall They have giveo us the "reproof of Nathan"
and thjk^eatj'hfcil penitential psalm In hi^ time the
His"tallyproficiency "in poetry and mislc introduced Llm
fir&t to the notice of Saul, his king; and it wan also mueio
and poetrv whloh lost him that king's friendship. >Y hen
he lied for ha lif* his h*rp was his friend, and gave ease
to his own troubled spirit, as it had to Saul's. The holiest
of his fcellL-gfl he br**\t hed forth in rong; an* wlien he
took hia feat on Israel's tin one the harp became his pious
instrument of desot'on to his God. Ho formed an estn
bli'l inent of 4,000 Uvltes, of vocal and iostramental
perfoiiner*. Tney were atvided Into V88 bauds, and have
left u>; sorre of the specimens of their skill, to which the
king himself contributed. At the death of his sou Absa
lom, David's poetic feivor?which had lain dormant for a
Mime?revived. Every remarkable event of hi* roign
was celebrated in lytic verse, either by him or hla o?
temporarles I lis own labor* and those of hi* companions
are collected and preserved Id the Psalms. TfteTa.mui
mentions that Melchisadee, Abraham, and Moses, con
trihuted alao to the be ok of 1'salms, but with us we do
not'find tue name* oi the two former. The chartcter ot
DavlJ'a poetrv waa subject to the various coincidences of
hla life. But whether he la in either extremo of for
tune, in joy or in gritl, be was always fire: and steadfast
In his faith, and certain iu hL. hope. However datk the
sky, however hopeless his condition, when he o-.mmu.ne}
with his God the olouds disappear, and the son^that w*s
begun in sorrow, ends with expressions of iiie loftiest
hope and the most unbounded joy. Nor is it ta this alone,
but in the intense feeling displayed in the l'^almist's
writing* that we are 10 charmed In the 131st I Malm be
cleicribea his own ch*ructer well; "O Lord? mv heart I*
not grown proud, nor am I grown haughty. 1 dare not
intrude upon what I* too great and tto wonderful f r
me." If some of our friend* would Imitate Davit *
humility, they would find themselves all the bat
ter and all the happier. David otters hi* l'ralm!
at tore acceptable to the lord than the blood
or bulli or of goat*. The king eoald easily bring
such holocausts to the altar, but he brought that whloh
was peculiarly hie own?his talents. Among the na*tes
prefixed to some of the Psalms is Aspath. It must hat#
been with the gift of prophecy that he foretold events as
yet in the distant future. Some believe that the psalms
known at the Psalms of Aspath were written by his de
scendants. His forte lies in the didatic. He Is gsnerally
parabolical, but always forcible and effec ive. As an ex
ample, he says, in the b4th l'salm: "But I am con
sUntly with thee; thou laye-ft hold of my right hand and
lead eat me on to glory." The name of "The Sons ot
Korah" la prefixed to eleven psalm s. But these are not
tbe joint production of different pertont. The "sons of
Korah" formed oae family. The gift of poeay con
tinued with them and their descendant* until the
days of King Htgekiah, for we find their names men
tioned tn the book of Chsonicle*. They aie not strang
er* to didatio poetry, and are only surpassed by
the great master, Aapath. I would reeommend to
your notice,a* specimen* of the productions of these poet*,
the forty tecond, the forty-third, and particularly the for
ty-ninth p*al?. Solomon's name is prefixed to threo
tialms, but some think-that these were only addressed
by o'.hera to him. Mosea' name is prefixed to the nine
tieth and tradition gives to him the authorship or the
nicety-flrat also. In addition to the psalm* which have
name* affixed to them, there are fifty others which are at
tributed, tome to Joshua, atd otheretto .leremlah.Hextkl
ah, and Barak. But whoever their authora may be, there
can be no question respecting their genoral merit. Their
ttrst great matk of Oistiootioa is their holiness; the se
coi.d, their comprehenaivene**?plaoU?g before u* tbe
experience of good and holy men; and tolrdly, their high
poetic merit. These united have constituted them what
they really are, tie great mean* of communication be
tween man and hit Maker. In synagogue, In ehuroh and
in chapel I hoy are alike resorted to. I>avidhaa rendered in
hia pBalm* great and univertal blessings to all generations
He baa introduced! music and public worship, uavia
relgnel forty years. In that period he raised hiapeojle
to the higbeat pinnacle of military preponderance and
political power. He handed all Alt down to hi* son
Solomon, to raise a temple to the Lord. Undisturbed

My own opinion of thit book it that the central part,

? Jn ge Brown, in passing sentence, said that the Court
was entirely satisfied with the verdict of the jury, It
was impossible for any cne having respect for the law or
under the dictates of moral senie, not to bs entirely sa
tLSed tl.at ihe verdict was oorrect. U they had erred at
all it was in fa< or of mtroy In aojalttingthe other eleven,
ah) might very cafely have been convicted on the evi
dence. On the whole, however, the court thought tbey
liad done right. Hi* Honor made some ftrong remarks
ob the gto<HoutrafeoD this city in assembling a band of
men for purpoass they knew were unlawful, and the
grosser outrage on the people of Canarsie in inflaming
their passions by drink and s'tting then on to boat
whomever they met. Some might have been led Inno
oentlr into it, and be could conceive that Smith and
Lloyd had been ipjured the 'lay before, bat there wai no
juhtifieatirn, and the Court could see no mitignting oir
cu'jastanees nxcept in the case of Creighton Ic wai their
duty to pass such a sentence as would prevent a rep-ti
tion of such ac's, an 1 assure the community that a se -
vcre parishment would be loliioted la all such cases.
The offence of which they had been oonv'cted?riot?was
only a misdemeanor, and toe*sentetoe would be that Obe
