If tbe Creeks heard this, they did not
hood it, for now tho rapidly increasing
force of the enemy occupied them com
pletely ; and it looked aR if their success,
despite tho aid of their unknown allios,
was only for the moment.
Cassowrn, feeling sure of retaking the
o\mp tho moment tho enemy was crushed
at this point, withdrew all his available
warriors, who, llushed with their recent
victory, felt confident of crushing out tbe
Creeks at tho only point where they
seemed to have success.
Twice during that morning Etomie and
Cassowra had met, and twice Cassowra
was saved by the devotion of his follow
ers, who, with an heroic lovo for their
young chief, threw themselves bofore tho
irresistible weapon of the King of Au-
tossee.
Etomie was wounded. From breast,
arms and face tho unchecked blood flowed,
redder tbnn the war paint which it washed
out. Yet tbe immense strength and lion-
like courage of the man seemod only to
increaso with the draining of the life cur
rent and the carnage of his daring braves.
He called for Chataskeo ; but Chataskee
was not to be found, nor had he been
epen since the Cherokoes, after the first
terrific onset, drovo book the Creeks to
their camp.
Etomio saw, though he could not com
prehend, the sudden change of the scene
of battle, and as he had always pressed to
tho point that se&med Borest beset, so
now, with renewed ardor, he led his war
riors toward tho river, guided by tho red
plumes of his youthful adversary.

Pashka, as Bhe approached Duncan Mein

The first impulse of tho Clierokees was
t > kill Etomie, as thoy started to carry oft’

though faint from loss of blood, divined
thoir intention, and ordered them to make
him a prisoner.
Hastily constructing two rude litters,
some distance back from where Duncan
McIntosh was pressing them, a number of
fleet-footed, stalwart Cherokoes placed
the wounded men in them, and as if un
aware of any burden they sped up the hill
and away from the sceuo of confliit.
Etomie, giant though lio was, had bled
till ho was weak as a child ; but though
helpless, ho was conscious of his position,
nnd fully recognized tho fact that under
the Indian rules of war ho was doomed to
death, nnd that ho would perish bofore
another sun, on the firo lit by tho Chero-
kees. This, however, gave him no trouble.
He had no dread of death, and there was
no flinching at tho thought of tho terrible
agonies to which ho knew’ ho would bo
subjected. He know that as tho hot coals
were hoaped ou his bleeding scalp, and
the flames crisped tho muscles of his pow

OFFICE OF THE COLUMBUS ENQUIRER, |
Columbus, Ga., October 16, 1873. f
TO THE PUBLIC:
The promise made and the course marked out by myself when
1 assumed charge of the Enquirer, I have tried faithfully to carry
out; aud, as an additional evidence of my desire to build up a paper
worthy of this oity and State, I have decided to spare neither time
nor money iu order to make :i good paper and place it within the
reach of all. The Sunpay Knqvikeb is a new 1'eatuTe in this enter
prise, and a much needed one. Many of our mechanics and farmers,
\\ lio arc unable, from a want, of means to subscribe, or time to read,
do not lake a daily paper ; and tlio regular weeklies do not supply
them with the latest, news, combined with fresh nnd interesting in
formation in lit,ernture, seiunoe and art. The Sunday Enquirer
will till this void ; for, iu addition to the telegraphic and editorial
matter now given in the daily, issued on Sunday, it will contain a
lories of charming liistorie.nl novels, written expressi.V for it by
an author whose stories in other serial weeklios COMMAND THE
untilk.st price. These stories for tlio coming year will treat of the
earlv (lavs of Georgia nnd Alabama, and will bo of thrilling interest
to all who read them particularly to those living in the States
named. Besides, it will have well-selected sketches of travel and
jiuelrv, and Household and Fashion Departments. 1 ant making ar
rangements with u Northern house for the supply of illustrations,
\t liieli will make a decided addition to the value of this great pnj>er,
and correspondence will eonio i" it, SPECIALLY, from all points ot in
terest.
The Sunday Enquirer "ill I» serccd without extra charge to the
regular snhsrrihcrs of the Daily , viz, for eight DOLLARS per annum,
payable invariably in advance. When taken alono its price will
be TWO dollars and FIFTY cents per annum, which will make it
I lie cheapest, paper of its class in the country. To those who now
take the "WEEKLY ENQUIRER, it can be made a most, valuable adjunct.
