come into the country to sell goods, not give
them away; that no tribute could be paid to
him or to any other Eutaw; and that if
fighting were a desideratum with the chief
and his, he would do his part to make it suf-
ficiently lively to be interesting.” The
council broke up turnultuously. The In-
dians carried back the wampum b'elt to their
camp--held war councils——and whipped and
danced around posts painted red, and recoun-
ted their deeds of valor——and showed high
in the air, as they leaped in the frenzy of a
mimic warfare, the store of scalps that garn-
ished the doors of the family lodges. And
around their camp fires, the following night.
were seen features distorted with the most
gastly wrath. Indeed the savages appeared
resolved to destroy the whites. And as they
were able by their superior numbers to do
so, it was deemed advisable to get beyond
their reach with all practible haste.
At midnight, therefore, when the fires had
smouldered low, the traders saddled in haste
bound their bales upon their pack rnules—-
and departed while the wolves were howling
the hour; and succeeded by the dawn Of
day in reaching a gorge Where they had
suspected the Iudiaus——if they had discover-
ed their departure in season to reach _it—
would oppose them. On reconnoitering,
however, it was found clear, and with joy
did they enter the defile, and behold from its
Eastern opening the wide plains, and the
sun rising, red and cheerful, on the distant
outline of the morning sky. A few days
after they reached the post, not glad that
flesh was not rotting with many who had
been less successful than themselves in es-
caping death at the hands of the Eutsaw.——
thus runs the tale. But for the insults, rob-
beries and murders committed by this and
other tribes, the traders Bent have sought
opportunities to take well measured ven-
geance : and liberally have they often dealt
it out. But the consequence seems to have
been the exciting of the bitterest enmity be-
tween thc parties; which results in a tri-
fle more inconvenience to the traders than to
the Indians. For the latter, to gratify their
propensity ,to theft, and their hatred to
the former,‘ make an annual levy upon
the navy-yard of the fortress, which, as it
contains usually from 80 to 100 horses,
mules, &c, furnishes to the men ofthe torna-
hawk a very comfortable and satisfactory-
retribution for theinhibition of the owners
ofthem upon their immortal right to rob
and murder, in manner and form as prescri-
bed by the customs of their race.
The business within the walls of the post
is done by clerks and traders. The former
ofthese are more commonly young ge.ntle-
man from the cities of the states; their duty
is to keep the books of the establishment.-
The traders are generally selected from
among those daring individtials who have
traversed the prarie and mountain and wil-
derness with goods or traps, and understand
the best mode of dealing with the Indians.
Their duty is to ‘weigh sugar, coffee, powder,
&c. in a Connecticut pint cup; and measure
red baize beds, &c. and speak the several
Indian languages that have a name for
beaver skins, buffalo robes, and money.-
They are fine fellows as can any where he
found.
Fort VVilliam is owned by three brothers.
by the name of Bent, from St. Louis. Two
ofthem were at the post when we arrived.——
They seemed to be thoroughly initiated into
Indian life; dressed like chiefs, in moccasins
thoroughly garnished with beads and porcii-
pine quills; in trowsers ofdeer skin, with
long fringes of the same extending along the
outer seam from the uncle to the hip; in
the splendid hunting shirt: of the same rante-
rial, with sleeves fringed on the elbow seam
from the wrist to the shoulder, and orna-
tnerited with figures of porcupine quills of
various colors, and leathern fringe around
the lower edge of the body. And chiefs
they were in authority exercised in their
wild and lonely fortress.
A Lesson for young 1l’r'e:/4..--A corres-
pondent informs us that he was acquainted,
some thirty years ago, with t.hree young
men, all then apprentices to Meclianical
trades, who boarded together at a boarding
house in Murry street. Each of them was
poor having no means but the scanty allow-
ance of apprentices, which barely sufficed
to pay their board and provide them with
working app‘-irel; so that on Sunday when
most young men sported holiday suits
in Broadway, these lads remained at home,
reading, having not one Sunday suit be-
tween them. But all of them were honest
industrious and prudent; and as time wears
on, one of them has since been mayor of
Georgetown. D._ C , the second Mayor of
Newark, N. J. and the third is Robert
Smith, who we trust will soon be elected
mayor of New York! Such. Young Men_!

The Ca.terpillu.'rs.—--A writer in the Gos-
pel Banner says that this is to-be a great year
forgcaterpillars on fruit trees; but adds that
they may be destroyed thus:
‘Make a strong ley, or soap suds strong
enough to hear an egg, and with a brush or
piece ofcloth, wash the infested limbs. The
ley will kill every mother’s son ofthe eggs,
and you will see po caterpillars’ beds upon
them in May or June. Even without regard
to caterpillars, it is an excellent plan, every
spring to wash trees with strong soap suds.
This will kill various sorts of insects in the
egg ,—it will clense and renovate the bark,
and promote the health and fruitfulness of
thetree. Try it.. Be not afraid of injuring
the tree, even if the ley is so strong as to blis-
ter your hands. It will do no harm if ap-
plied before the buds are much swollen, but
it will kill the young leaf.’

At home, John Quincy Adams is univer-
sally respected, and on all occasions acts the
part ofa genuine republican. He always
rises at day break, and long before-the sun is
up you will find him at his desk in his cham-
ber, writing or pouring over papers which
have been handed down to him by his patri-
otic sire, who served his country so zealous-
ly and advantageously in the stormy days of
the revolution. Mr. Adams enters warmly
into the wants of his fellow townsmcn; he
often ofliciates as moderator at the town
meetings in Quincy, and often acts as arbiter
in settling disputes which occur between his
neighbors. He is Sportive and full of instruc-
tive anecdotes. He attends church constant-
ly, and notwithstanding he keeps two or three
carriages, he always walks. Vllhen thetide
suits, lie is fond of walking to the beech,
about a mile from his house, to have asolita-
ry swim in the ‘salt sea ;’ and this is pretty
well for a gentleman of his advanced age.
Mr. Adams is now over 70 years of age, and
being exceedingly temperate and methodical
in eve1‘y_thing, be always enjoys excellent
health. His constitution is as sound now as
it was thirty years ago.
Trouble in Mercico.-—Capt. James Barber,
of the American schooner ,Vigilant, writes
from Vera Cruz to his brother at Norfolk,
Va. stating that his vessel had been detained
b the Mexicans at Vera Cruz--into which,
though blockaded, he had attempted to enter
in consequence of his vessel having sprung
a leak. He was taken prisoner and with
his cargo sent to Laguna. Hes-ays he has
abandoned the Vigil-ant to the Government
and intends to demand redrcss—-$25,000 for
damages and detention. He adds:
‘It is confidently expected here, that our
Minister will demand his passports on the
1st of April, for it is reported that the instal-
mentdue on thatday will not be paid. There
is a man of war now laying ready to convey
him home, and in case he is compclledto do
so, trouble may be expected, for the Ameri-
can flag is daily subjected to insrilt. I went
down to the wharf yesterday and my bozrt
was ashore. In it was it Mexican oflicer,
using our flag as a cushion, and he assuming
an air ofimportance. I immediately went
on board and pulled it from under him. He
drew his sword upon me and I knocked him
overboard. I was soon surrotrn led by several
soldiers, who l1t'lt.l a court martial,but I was

Temeritgz of Chinese Jugglers.— Several
of their feats ofskill and daring are, to the
uninitiated, truly astonisliinon For instance:
Two men from Nankin appear in the streets
of Canton, the one places his back against a
stone wall, or wooden fence; the upper part
of his person is divested of clothing; his as-
sociate armed with a large knife retires to a
distance—sa ' from 100 to 200 feet. At a
given signallthe knife is thrown with an
unerring aim in the direction of the person
opposite, to.witbin a hair's breadth of his
neck, immediately below his ear. With
such successis the lzlow aimed, and so great
is the confidence reposed by the one in the
skill of the other that not the slightest unea-
siness is discernible in the features of him
whose life is a forfeit to the least deviation
ofthe ractitioner. This feat is again and
again iierformed with similiar success, only
varying the direction] offth: knife todthe op-
osite side of the nec r o t e expose person.
gr to any point of proximity to_ the living
target, as the spectators may desire. Anoth-
er, and the last feat to be mentioned, is equal-
ly exciting. A man is arriied with an instru-
ment, resembling a trident, (or what is torm-
ed by sailors ‘gmins,’) to which formidable
weapon is attached a long handle of hard
wood. Thejugglar, with surprising strength
of arm, throws _this weapon perpendicularly
into the air to a great height: as it ‘gains
the greatest elevation, he measures with a
practiced eye and wonderful precision the
exact spot on which it will fall. To this
point he advances step by step : in an instant
the weapon descends with fearful velocity,
scraping the edges of some protruding part
of his person, thus giving proof of a singular
daring and successful effort, which surpasses
in skill even the most celebrated rifle shot
of the hunters of Kentucky. ~

Amcricun and Foreign Bible Society/.—
This Society under the patronage of the
Baptist denomination, held its sixth aniversa-
ry at Albany on Tuesday the-. 25th. From
asketch ofits proceedings reported in the
Evening Journal,’we learn that the Rev.
Spencer H. Cone, was chosen President for
the ensuing year. From the abstract pre-
sented ofthe Treasurer's Report it appears
that the whole amount of receipts for the
past year, including a balance of about $2,-
900 passed over fro_m the preceeding was
$23,638 03. The expenditures had been
$1,000 for the distribution of the Bible in
Germany, 500 in Denmark and Norway,
$2,000 for the Orissa rriissioii. $1,000 for
Greece, $4,000 for four other stations, and
$1000 for the Cherokees. Leaving a bal-
ance in the Treasury of $2,570 63. The
receipts have been less than usual.

and the Constitution says that they scraped
up every thing in the shape of a city voter
but it all did not save them. Charles R. Al-
sop, Esq. was chosen on the first ballot. As
Mr. Alsop was 3d Alderman, the Whigs on
his election to the office of Mayor filled the

Fossil Birrls.—Letters from Dr. Mantell,
of London, and Professor Danberry, of Ox-
ford,toProfessor Silliman, of YaleUniversity
mention the arrival inEng.ofbonesofa gigan-
tic bird, of the Ostrich Class, from New
Zcaland. The impress made by its feet
would be fully equal to the largest track
observed by Prof. Hitchcock in the valley of
the Connecticut. The arrival ofthese bones
in England has tended to produce convic-
tion_in the minds of Dr. Mantell and Mr.
Murchinson, the President of the Geologic-
al society, that the impressions in the valley
of the Connecticut are genuine,and that
birds both small and gigantic, once walked
over the surface of the rocks in question,
when soft enough to receive the impression
oftheir feet. The bones from New Zealand
were found in an alluvial formation, and a
tradition still exists among the natives, that
only within a century past have the birds
themselves become extinct.--—"-Bos. Atlas.
Vlle learn by a lctlel‘ to the Baltimore
Patriot, that the editor of the Madisonian

was dismissed, and Mr. Myers was appoint-
ed in his place. There is some calcula-
tion in that. Certainly it could not br-
expected that any man would give more
than fifty dollars to the !V1adisoni-an now,
though we know some who gave a hundred.
Well, of course, the publisher is thankful
for this contribution. And what is gratitude
with him ? "A strong sense of favors to
come.” Then he has Col. Hunter removed
and a new officer appointed; and consequent-
ly another_/i/lg rlollurs is paid to the con-
ductor ot the Madisoniari, as a species of

A Noble Trait in the character of the
Spaniard is thus warmly eulogizcd by Bor-
row, in his ‘Bible in Spain,’—-‘To the honor
of Spain be it spoken, it is one of the few
countries in Europe where poverty is never
insulted nor looked upon with contempt.
Even at an inn, the poor man is never spurri-
ed from the door; and if not harbored, is at
leastdismissed with fair words, and consigned
to the mercies of God and his mother. This
is as it should be. I laugh at the bigotry
and prejudice of Spain; I abhor the cruelty
and ferocity which have casta stain of infa-
my on her history, but I will say for the
Spaniards, that in their social intercourse,no
people in the world exhibit a juster feeling
of what is due to the dignity of human na-
tu re,or better understand the behaviour which
it behaves a man to adopt towards his fellow
being.’

Navagation has been resumed on the
Wabash and Eric canal. The Ofiio canal
was to be opened as far as Massilon on the

Express arrived at Cleveland on the 17th

A seamstress in London, it appears, is
paid one and a half cents for making sailors’
shirts. By working very hard ‘and finding
her own needles,’ she may thus earn 4 l-2d.

loaf she can buy is 5 1-2d. A loafof bread
is ld. dearer than her whole day's work.
The Pennsylvania and Ohio canal is p
Junction of the Atlantic and Pucific.——A
London paper, in an article,‘ showing the
practibility ofa ship canal across the Isth-
mus of Panama, at a cost of a million and a
half sterling, proceeds to ask the question,
Would it pay ? which it thus answers: Ten
per cent. interest on a million and a half
would arriount to $150,000 per annum. Add
to this, £25,000 for annual expenses on the
canal—e£l75,000. The saving to the mer-
chants and ship owners ofEurope and Amer-
ica trading to the West coast of America,
to Australasia, Oceana, and eastern Asia,
would be very great. A month at least
would be gained on the voyage; diminish-
ing to that extent the wages of mariners, the
expense of provisions, the interest on capital.
The tear and wear of the ships would be
less; the expense of insurance would be di-
minished. All these advantages would be
cheaply purchased by canal dues of 10s per
too. At this rate, the passage of 350,000
ofsbiping along the canal annually would
yield the sum of.£l75,000.
Steamboat E:rpl’osz'on.—,—The steamboat

of her starboard boilers burst and -blew .'l por-
tion ofher upper works into the river. Three
ofthe hands were scolded, some of them
rather severely. One ofthe passengersjum-
ped overboard, btit was rescued, so that no
lives were lost. This was certainly :1 most
fortunate and narrow escape.

five thousand feet. At the lowest estimate,
there are planed in Cincinnati, annually,
3,000,000 feet. It is done by machine, at 25

cheaper by an engine than by hand.

Messrs. Hutchinson and Jones give it as
their decided opinion that the Texan pris

provoke a quarrel with him. It appears
that the Consul, being dissatisfied with the
Justice for discharging a Frenchman charg-
