ORIGIN or THE TERN MIssIssirrI.-Mr,
Peter pichlyn, one of The Chiefs OF the
Choetaw Nation, who is now engaged In
a search after the remains Of his tribe, un.
dor date OF the 9th uli. from Mobile, thus
writes the editor OF the Columbus (Nliss,)
Wing:


Il am still engaged in tho business OF
hunting up the Choeiaws, which has led me
into many crooked tracks, through pine
flats canebreaks and palmetto swamps-hy
land aud by waler-through villages, towns
and cities; and where my iourneyIngs are
to end | know not, yet | hope in short
time, to be in my land beyond uk hm ma
Mih sha SuPpahni.


"You see have used the word Mish
sha suppukni, from which am certain tho
word Mississippi derived its origin. The
word Is thus dedned; Tx hin na-riyeri
msh sha-beyondi sippukni--old, or any
age-'rhe River beyond any age


"rho white man never writes Indian
names correctly, but the word Nlish sha
suppukni, which we pronounce Mish sha
sippi, is spelt nearer your own term Mis-.
sisslppi, than your own rombigbee is like
the Indian words from which Ii received
its origin"
