The board, | by their recent seasion at Hartford, approved the | decision of the Prudential Committee, and thi rea- triction was trapsmisted to the Council of the na- tiom. Col. Harkins, the Chief, has met the threat | | in @ manly manner. In a recent communication to b- | the Council, he says :— , | _ It seems that ‘the American board, at a recent meeting, beld at Hartford, Conn., had under con- | sideration the School act of the last session of the il, and fferded at | The Sisterhood of St. Joseph's Convent, Mary | Per omen O vane enol ations 1 ie ‘dissolve | hewered | their connection with the Choctaw schools.

Because we have done this, the board looks upon it ae an oat- rage, and declares her intention to withdraw her teachers from our schools. Let it be done, and the sooner the better.

He approves the bill introduced by Hon. Mr. Johnson into the Senate, providing for the establishment of three Territorial governments out of the Indian territory inhabited by the Choctaws, Cherokees, Creeks, Chickasaws, aud other Indians, with provision for their altimate admissiun into the Union as States. The Cherokees, under the direction of Jobn Ross, have manifested strong op] ion to this pro tion; but Col. Harkins and the Choctaws take a more rational-view of it, and are willing to accept the terms of the bill. Ip a communication to the General Council Col. Harkins says:— “The Choctaws ought, in my opinion, at this Council to give notice to the it of the United States that they are willing t> adopt Jobn- son’s territorial bill, and wish to see it pass Con- in its present stape. That bill certainly gives the Choctaws al! they can ask for—it secures taem in their homes and places them on a stronger foot- ing than ever; snd not only that, it makes them a free people—citizens of the United States--gives them the same protection that an American would have at home or in a foreign country. It places the Cho: taws on @ level with the white man. {t giver them delegate in Cong:ess, to represent them on si] questions involving the interest of the people. We have sustained great losses by not aving a delegate. “And now, when the United States holds out her &'ts to UA, and are willing to receive us as one of the Tenitores of the Union, without iuterfering with any “ treaty stipulations,” but securing more strongly cur right to the count:y we pow hold, giv- ing us the ngit to cispoes of it as we please, we cst esther retain the lands, as a natioval proverty, cr can divide them among onr citizens, is it right or wise ip the Choctaws to reject a kind and jberal cffer, and tollow the fate of the Nebraska indians? “Task, what is to become of the Choctaws, if they reject this bill? Can they expect to remain a dis- tinct people alwsye? It cannot be; but will even- tualJy, and that ‘before many years, be swallowed up, avd perbeps regardless of their just rights. “We may deperd uponit as being a fixed fact, that our Indian days of peace are forever departed fron us, and that no opposition from us can stay the on- ward march of the people of tne United States, in their career to greatreas and tre fall occupancy of the American continent. We have no power or infinence to bear upon any movement of the gov- eroment, for we are looked upon as children, as wards under her care and protection, and that she has the power to do as she pleases with us. There is nothipg the Choctaws can do to change the course cf things. “Their only chance to live andexist asa people will be to edneate and civilize as fast ag poesible, the rising gereration. Ard surely now is the time for us to stand together unitedly. We should con- sider well our situation, and tne course weareabout to teke at this time, for one misstep may prove dis- astrous ava fatal to our people. I recommend that the Council tak» this mat-er into consideration, aad Sppeint a committee to report, and point out the ad- joe jd ane disadvantages ot tre pill to the Caoc- awe. The committee, it is understood. had made a re port favorable to the bill, but the Council nad taken no final action on the subject. Al! ealightened Choctaws were for it—the missionaries are opposed toit, and will probably influence all the courch members to go against it. Tae Chickasaws ave re- presented to be opposed to the bill. The Fort Smita Herald says:— From the present aspect of affairs in the Cho: taw pation, we may sefely concinde that they will scoa become ove of us,” aud hopes, at some future day, to see (Oo).

The chief func- tiovaries of the ‘government of this Territory have been in it for some tfme past; yet no movement, or even demonstration towards a movement, to call a aoe Be ftteriricigwal _ meee ee election for delegate to represent ‘erritory > it is true, bas bean ordered to be held on the 20th inst. The Governor and most of the officers have made a general tour of the Territory, ostensibly, as it bas been said, to see the country, its inhabitants, &c. The country is without laws, except the statutes at large of the United States, which may apply to it, and with these ver few are neinted, ayd it they were familiar with them, still they w be rights, and_so far as protection is concerned the people of Kansas might as well have no laws at all. ‘he Governor, it is true, about two days after his ar- rival in the Territory, held a court of some sort, obabl, England, who held what was technically ealled “3 Court of Kirg’s Rench,” and taking the hint from this, we presume his Excellency intends to eatablich the Court of Governor’s in Kansas | Territory. We Jearn that his Excellency is quite an extensive speculator. Immediately sfter his arrival at Fort Leavenworth, he purchased five shares in the of Leavenworth. It is further stated that, on bis bered land on said river, one mile wide and six in the sum of $2 50 per acre—subject to the approval ot the governmentat Wachircton. We also learn that there are persons who were willing to give six dollars per acre for these same lands. From the foregoing, it may fairly be presumed that Governor Reeder is speculating in Kansas, and from these facts it can ready be abesred Pee Lo fmppentd ww 8 specula vernor, and deserves the appel tion of his Geeculating Excellency. Thus far he the public interests of the Territory. Governor’s political opinions are beginning to become developed. It is said upon pretty good authority that he isin confidential co yndence with the leaders of the New England Abolition Emigrant Aid Society; that he is, therefore, an abolitionist, or what is probably termed in Kansas, a freesoiler; that he is prejudiced against the people of the slaveholding States, and particularly 6 Missourisns; that he cannot help showing un- friendly feelings towards them by words and acts. So far has he carried bis prejudices against the set- ra in from Missouri, that he nas exhausted all hia political and legal adility in prescribing an oath for them to swear to at the polls: his object being to prevent them from voting if possible. His notiors in this respect seem to be far-fetched ; aud no precedent can be found tor his conduct this side ordering and prescribing rules for the election on the 29th inst., have been held back till the last mo- ment, apd it was very difficult for a Missourian to procure a copy ut all. However, we struck off a number of copies, and insert it also in our paper of to day for the benefit of our friends. We have pot time this week to do the Governor full justice. But from his friendly feeling towards the abolitionists of Lawrance. bis correspondence witn tteir ‘eaders, avd his businees transactions with them, be well merits the sobriquet of hia Free- soil Exceliency.

SENTENCE OF JAMES PATTON IN NEW ORLEANS YOR ander. tat cxpert MURDER. {From the New Orleans Delta, Dee. 2.) Jomes Patton, long a respectable citizen of New Orleae, who, more than a year ago, murdered on | the streets the venerable aod estimable Colonel | Walter Turnbull, master warden of this brought up in the First district court yesterday to receive bia renteace, The charge procuced in the aspect of Mr. Patvon, by long imprisonment, and by the secret malady, which bas doubtless ed up: on his body as weil as his mind, was so jog a8 to produce a sorrowful effect upon all nis former friends and acquaintances. His hair has tarsed quite grey, his skin become thed, and his face angular andemaciate. The piercing eye still retains its brilliancy, somewhat heightened by the ae iene ee eee an t ie en, a8 & high official, be moved in the best circles, for his inte; and good maply and ified. Patton, it will be remembered, was found Mr. guilty of murder under very peculiar circumstances, victim, Colonel Turnbull, was a very aged gen- tleman, of the most harmless and amiable charac- ter. His relations with Patton had been those of a friend and adviser, and, what was remarkable, he was entirely unsequainted with Patton’s wife. Patton met him coming out of an omnibus, and dis- charged three barrels of a revolver into his body, producing instantaneous death. The homicide, with the air of a fanatic, then sought a man and surrendered himself, Marae) he had ample cause for the deed and wi Seay it on the trial. It was well known to his what was the secret cause of this terrible deed. It feared and apprehended by all who had been for years the common town tl sane on other subjects, Patton bg opened edecided monomania in reference to suppoeed infidelity of his wife, one of the mcst irreproachable iadiea in the country. had manitested this unfortunate aberration by acts of violence ard threats against his best friends, some of the most discreet and respectable among our citi- zens Tbe most judicious and carefal measures were mployed to cure him ‘of bis terribie malady.

This untortunate state of affairs continued for several years. Meantime, several attempts at violence were made by Mr. Patton against his own relatives and iutimate friends, on suspicion of their intimacy with his wife. He ought, when these in- dications were first given, to have been taken in charge of by thoee of his friends who were cognizant of his infirmity. In other words he ought to have been placed under a commission of lunacy years ago. The pagers ck this duty produced the death of an estimable citizen. Before proceeding to acts of violence, Mr. Patton cailed on several iawyers, and laying before them a well written narrative of all theoccurrences,on which he relied to establish his ¢'! at his wife, desired to have a suit for divorce it. Tae lawyers immediately discovered his insanity, and refused to have anything to do with his case. After this, the life of Mr. Patton was a quiet, secluded one. Holding the res: ible cflice of Tobacco In- spector, he performed the duties thereof promptly ong that time and business duties would wear out of his mind the poi- son which had infectea it. They were awoke from this delusion by the appalling news of the murder of Colonel Turnbull. Committed to the prison, Patton’s demeauor, be- fore and since his |, Was quiet, sedate, gentle- manly and correct. There was only one ocvasion when be deviated from this course: it was when his poor wife, ho that reflection and his awful situation bad extirpated the foul demon which pos- essed him, proceeded to the prison with his little children, and prayed tosee him. When their desire was communicated to him he flew into the most violent rage, and uttered the bittereat curses upon his innocent family. Having employed eminent counsel, Patton sup- plied tem with @ very voluminous narrative, indi- cating the line of defence he wished to be pursued. His able counsel, under their professional and of- ficial obligations, to employ all pleas which might avail in his defence, appeared on his trial and pro- ceeded to n tne court that they would estab- lish, in the moet conclasive manner, the insanity cf the accused. Then ensued an extraordinary scene. Patton arose, apd in a violent manner declared that re bad been betrayed by his lawyers; thot he Giscbarged them on the spot; that he would pro- ceed with his own case; he was ag sane as any men in the court, and would not abide by any such deferce. Here was confirmatory proof to sustain the plea, ot which his eminent counsel stated they porcested other satisfactory evidence. Under these circumstances the obvious daty of the judge was to disregard the ravings of the acsus- ed, to protect the counsel in the defence of what they bad to set up, as officers of the Court. Of course if the man was ingare and the allegation of bis counsel should have been received a8 prima facie evidence of the fact, he had not the wili to discharge his counsel, and was utterly incapable of conducting bis own defence. But Judge Robertson presumed the sanity of a man against the aliega- tion of his counsel, and against the most satisfactory eros evidence, avd permitted him to be tried oa 8 ows pleas, which even if sustained by facts, were no defence at all. The trial was therefore a melancholy farce, and the accused was convicted of murder, when every man on the jury, and every ono in the court knew that he was iveane. Such occurrencss are well calsulated to bring our ccurts into contempt. We have not the sligatest doubt that the error of the jndge proceeded from a went of experience and logical discrimination. But it is certainly a very graveerror. This was made powerfully manifest yesterday when the accused «as brought up to be sentenced. When asked what he had to say why sentence shoali not be pro- nounced upon him, Patton drew from his pocket a voluminous manuséript, which he proceeded to read. Tt consisted of a most minute narrative of a hundred little incicents, running back for te last ten years—which he sppears to have carefully note down ina memcrandum book—incidenis, in many cases, of the mcst trivial character, which he inge- niously blended together for the purpose of show- ing immoper eA between his wife and her brother in-law, a distinguished and most estimable planter of Attakaves; with bis associate in busi- ness, another respectable citizen of Baton Rouge, ard other persons. Nothing could be more conclusive than that this ‘was the rigmurole of a monomaviac; but the Judge permitted itto be read for nearly two honrs, and then, before {it was finished, interrupted him, and proceeded to pass eentence upon him of imprison ment for life. Everybody felt that tre Jjadgment ought to be ‘cer nfinemens in a madhonse.” Instead of a crimipel trial, he should have been placed be- fore & commission of lunacy. The accused received the sentence with perfect indifftrence, but appear- ed mortitied that the Judge would not hear his nar- ative. Judge Larue notified the Court that he hould take up an appeal from the judgment. Drstrvetive Fire at Vincennes, Inptana— On Tnureday morntng, Dec, 7, about one o’vlock, & fire was discovered in the carpenter shop of Bishop & Boyan, on Market street, between Second and Thirc.
