Four lads of the Cherokee and Chickasaw nations of Indians arrived in this city a few days since, in charge of a Missionary on their way to Connecticut, to be educated under the direction of the Missionary Society of that state. Some of these it is understood are to be prepared for the work of the ministry. Their appearance was rendered very interesting by the novelty of the object they have in view, and the correctness of their deportment. It may in truth be said that this is emphatically "a work of mercy and labor of love."
