On Sunday, Mr.. SlIcer, the chap
lain. preached at the Capitol. In the
course of lis sermon, speaking OF the
cover Of the gospel, he alluded to the
striking illustration furnished by the
Choctaw Indians. In quietness and
submission they left the land OF their
fathers graves, and proceeded to the
place Of their destination, brcanse the
gospel had taught them TO suppress
the feeling Of revenge and to submit
to the will Of Providence. On the
other hand, the Seminoles, to whom
/ the gospel had not been carried by the


preachers of religion, were lnhamed


with a spirit of revenge, and after a


war costing eleven millions, last year,


were still unsubdued.
