The itrcat I'ulr of the Ame.lcan Institute v
Hosed at New York on Thursday evening,
which occasion lieu. Tallmadge. J*r« ►‘■dent of I
Institute, made an interestingaddreas which is Ui
sketched in the Journal of Commerce.
He said that rrtorc than half the ♦'hates of t
Union were represented by articles of compt titi
at th" Fair. He held up the model of a mowi
machine which had been sent from Maryland, a
which was very eHieienlm cutting grass and grui
He referred to the cattle which had hern <;\inl>il<
and sold at the Fair, and spoke earnestly of li
backwardness of the fanners oi .New Vork audit
adjacent States in the improvement of their love,
ot cattle. He said that Kentucky had started lir
•tid most earnestly in this matter, and that nm
her cattle were heifer than those of New Vork b
nearly one huiulred per cent. Ohio was in tin
respect next to Kentucky, but n traveller from Xi \
York who should pass through Illinois, Indiant
or indeed almost any of the new Stales, would h
astonished at the superiority of the cuttle winch h
saw every where. This is attributed to the dlfli
culty of changing the habits of an old agriculture
population, while the population of a m-wcountij
were easily formed on a plan of improvement. Hi
said the exhibition of boats might challenge tin
world for its equal. The lilt bout of Francis, In
said had almost marked an era in the safety of navi
gation. The Navy Yard at Brooklyn had oll'eret
a specimen in marine competition, hut it was (or
large to be brought into the garden; it was th,
ship Ohio. The value of manufactures of inn
was rapidly increasing, so that tin annual sales o
such manufactures in the city of New York
amounted to ten millions of dollar*.—He held up
two or three parts of tailors’ shears, made in Ful
ton street, of which nearly a hundred pairs had
been already sent for the use of the tailors of Lon
don. He also held up a long and slender and very
highly finished pairof shears which he said wen
for the use of the “ monsters” to clip bank hills,
and their only fault was. that they have ground on
the blades. “The Diddle Shears.” (Ureal ap
plause.) The superiority of the Russia sheet iron
over that of England had long been known. The
extreme smoothness of the Russia article was pro
duced hy a chemical process, w hich all the wealth
and ingenuity of England had not been able to
find out. But a manufacturer in (liven Countv
had sent down samples which he held in his hand,
this surpassed the Russian iron.
He spoke largely of silk. The dryness of our
climate, he said (ittoj it for the cultivation of silk
and so did the enterprise of our people. The first
Morns jMultiroulis tree was imported by the Insti
tute, under the particular direi lion ot Dr. Parcel
lis, and it stood for a long time and grew in the old
French church in Cedar street, A sample of silk
win on the table which had been sent front Flori
da, and from Michigan he had a sample from the
family of a gentleman who had planted fifteen
acres with mulberry trees. Michigan, which in
1830 was a Territory, with 22,000, inhabitant,
but in 1838 a Stale with 200,000, ami which rail
roads and steam engines would within a year or
two bring so near to New York that a party of la-,
dies might visit it in four clays, was well calculated
for the culture of silk. It had mines too of gold,
copper, iron, and other motels, inexhaustable in
quantity, and invaluable in worth. The soil is
fertile, almost hey and comparison, and the climate
delightful. Indeed, said the President, our young
sister has many charms and boundless wealth,
which only wait for n (lew more years of maturity
to insure our lasting admiration. Ho might have
named, ns u most important fuel in regard to Mich
igan, that her population on the whole, is one of
more intelligence and substantial moral character,
than has pioneer 1 the settlement of any other of
onr now States.
The President made many other very sensible
observations on the advantages whic h were pu, ■
sessecl for the culture of s.lk in this country, which
we have not lime at this late hour to repent. His
remarks were however suspended, to give time for
the announcement of premiums, during which wc
left the saloon.
From t'ic Macon Telegraj A
I’hysiologienl Phenomenon !
A Stake Man!—A correspondent in the
country ha. furnished us with the following ac
count of an individual, by lire name of Uiiiieut
11. Copklamii, who is exhibiting himself through
the country. The facts are vouched for by a num
ber of the most respectable physicians and other
persons in Henry county:
“This most singular being, perhaps, has not a
parallel in medical history. He is now about 29
years old, of ordinary stature and intellect, ills
deformities and physical peculiarities are owing to
a fright his mother received from a large Rattle
snake attempting to bite her, about the sixth month
of her pregnancy. For several minutes alter the
snake struck at her she believed herself bitten just
above the ancle; and so powerfully was her mind
affected, that, when she was delivered, the child's
will was found to have no control over his right
arm and right leg; which are smaller than his lelt
extremities. Ho can use his right leg now, sulli
ciently to walk in u hobbling manner, but cannot
retain it stationary, without the aid of the weight
of his body. His right hand has the usual number
ot lingers, but they are smaller than those ot his
left hand. The wrist joint is looser than usual,
and his hand stands at an angle with his arm. Ills
front teeth arc somewhat pointed, and inclined
backward, like the fangs of a snake. The right
side of his fare is sensibly afiected; his mouth is
drawn considerably farther on the right, than on
the lelt side; his right eye squints, has several deep
grooves radiating from it, and has a very singular
appearance, much resembling a snake. But per
haps the most extraordinary circumstance on re
cord, is, that his right arm, when not restrained,
will draw the lower part to about a right angle
with the upper, and some times two or three, hut
most commonly, only the lore linger will project,
carved at the first joint, much resembling a snake’s
head and neck, when in the altitude of striking;
and the whole arm will strike at an object with all
the venom ot a snake, and precisely in the same
manner, some limes for two or three, and some
times for four or five strokes, and then the arm as
sume* a vibratory motion, will coil up and apply
itaelf close agaUs't his body. During ibis period,
his right loot and omc excited, and if not re
strained, will strike also. Uis face is oUo excited;
the angle of his mouth Is drawn backward and hi,
*yc snaps more or less, in unison with the intake;
of his hand, whilst his lips are always »cpamted
exposing his teeth, which, being somewlpu point.*,
like the fangs of a snake, causes ids whole visap
to assume a peculiar and snakey aspect. —Dunn
iuftney, and childhood, the whole shape ot ll
snake, even to its fangs, was printed on the ant
rior of hi* leg ; but as he grew up, it became gra
unity obliterated, till now there i* only a small d
pressios where the snake's head was impvintc
The sight ofa snake fills him with horror, and
instinctive feeling of revenge ; and he is more >
, liable dutiug the season ot snakes ; and even er
vernation concerning them excites him, and
.arm appear* more anxious to strike than when
such conversation is going on.
Aflrf tile above phenomena are perfectly in
pendent of his will, a* hundreds can testily. w
were acquainted with him long before he had i
idea of exhibiting hiinm ll publicly- I’lds singi
being was born in Carolina, and moved to (*e a
in the year 1829 ; where he has since remaii
performing such labor as he could with one h ;
and by unremitting exertions, has maintained
wife and an increasing family. His physical pt
Rarities, being considered only in the light
common deformity, he never thought of oxltibi
himself publicly, till it was suggested to him I

* >n 1 learing of the death of the telebraled Bau
1 1,1 j Chieftain Black Hawk. I am induced lo muk
I,; '' ' von the following cojiimunDalinn, which may b
j interesting lo some of yottr/cadent:
j)„. During a residence of sawcml year.i in wlia
1., n is n'W tin.- Tivihory i f lowa. I liiul many oppor
j,,,, i lunit.es of seeing and conversing with this notet
„,j Warrior, and often look bark with feeling* o
iji], j great pleasure to the many tokens of good wil
led and friendship that he has frequently bostowci.
Il„. i upon mo. H a lodge was always open to tin:
1„. changer, and he was ever ready to Kli.iro that
>,Ja with him which he might moat want, either his
rst fmu and blankets lor a couch or his corn and
,w veixis >ji for b repast. lie always spoke in terms
ol high re sard of the whiles, saying that in year
us lie fought like a brave man, but in peace he wished
w to forget dial hi s hand had ever been raised against
, a them. His career as a warrior commenced at a
[ M . i very early age: when he was but fourteen years
I old, bis lather I’awheese led a war parly against
)i_ 1 the Usages, in which expedition hi' accompanied
u | I him: they succeeded in reaching the ydlago of
the Usages, which they uttacked, and astir a very
1., severe em onnter, they routed their enemies and
l( . tiunit their town, in this battle Ula, k Hawk's
lt . la;her was billed, but lie revenged his death by
j. killing and scalping the Osage yy no had slain him.
j He was land of recounting his earlier exploits,
~ 1 and often boasted of his being at the right hand
I of T,. uin-eu. when tire latter was killed at the
„ j battle of the Thames, ills account of the death
,1 of this distinguished warrior was related to me
jj by himself, during an evening that I spent in his
p lodge some winters ago. In the course of our
. talk. I uskeil him it he was with Tccnmsch when
I he was killed. He replied—
“ I was, and I xviil now tell you about it. Tc
. euinseh. Mhauhinne and Caldwell two Polawatti
mio Chiefs, ami mysell, were seated on a log
near our camp (ire, filling our pipes fora smoke
i on the morning ol the battle, when word came
. horn the lirilish General (bathe wished lo speak
to iViumseh. Hi’went immediately, and after
staying some lime rejoined ns, taking his scat
without raying a word, when Caldwell, who was
, °ne ol his lavoritcs, observed to him—my father,
, y' hut are we to do ! IShull we light the Ameri
cans ! •' Ve«, my son,” replied Tccutnsch, “We
sludl go into their vi ry imioke—Uni yon arc now
yvanted by the General. Go my son, 1 never ex
pect to See yon again.” Shortly after this (con
tinued Black Hawk, the Indian spies eame in,
am! gave word ol the near approach of the Ameri
eans. I erumach immediately posted his men in
the edge of a swamp which Hanked the British
line, placing himself at their head. I was a little
to his right, with a small party of Sauks. It was
not long before the Americans made their appear
ance, they did not perceive us at, first, hid as we
i were hy the under growth; but we soon let them
i know where we were by pouring in one or two
i volleys us they were forming into line to oppose
, toe British, i hey (altered a little, hut very soon
1 we perceived a large body of horse, (Col. Jolm
r son's regiment of mounted Kentuckians,) pre
, paring to charge upon ua in the swamp. They
I came bravely on, yet we never stirred until th.'y
, were, so close that we could see the (lints in their
i guns, when Tecumseh, splinging to his feet, gave
s the Mhawnce war cry, and discharged his rifle.—
I liis was the signal for us to commence the fight,
' it did not last long; (he Americans answered the
, shout, returning our fire, and at the first discharge
ol their guns, 1 saw i'eciimsch stagger forwards
■ over a fallen nee near which he was standing, let
ting his riflo drop at his feet.
As soon as the Indians discovered he was killed,
a sudden fear came over (hem, and thinking the
Great Sjiirit was angry, (hey fought no longer,
and were quickly put to flight. That night we
returned lo bury our dead, and search for the body
of Tecumseh. He was found lying wiiore he had
first fallen; a bullet had struck him above the hip,
and his skull had been broken by (he butt end of
the gun of some soldier, who had found him ner
haps when life was not quite gone. With the
exception of these wounds, his body was un
touched, lying near him, however, was a large
line looking I’otiiwuttimie who had been killed,
decked oil in his plumes and war paint, whom
die .Americans no doubt had taken tor Tecumseh,
for he was scalped and every particle of his skin
(iayed from his body.’' Tecumseh himself had
no ornaments about his person, save a British
medal. During the night we buried our dead,
and brought oil the body of Tecumseh, although
wo were wil bin sight of the fires of the Ameri
can camp.”
This is somewhat different from the account
which is commonly given of Tccumseh's death,
yet i believe it to bo true; lor alter hearing Black
Hawk relate it, I heard it corrobated by one of
the Bottawattimie Chiefs mentioned by him. I
asked him if he had ever fought against lha
whiles utter the death of Tecumseh. He said
not—that ho returned home to his village on the
Mississippi, at the mouth of Rock river, and there
he remained until driven away by the whites in
the year l&'J”. ihe yvi.-h to hold possession of
tins village was the cause of the war which he
waged against the whites during that year. He
told me that he never wished to light, that ho was
made lo do so; that the whites killed his warriors
w hen they went with a white Hag (o hog a parley,
and that after lifts was clone, he thought they in
tended to kill him at all events, and therefore he
would die like a w arrior.
In speaking ol his defeat, lie said it was what
he expected; that ho did not mind it, but what
hurl him more than any thing else, was our Go
vt rinnent degrading him in the eyes of his own
people, ami setting another chief (Keokuck)
over him. This degradation he appeared to feel
very sensibly—still he continued lo possess alt
his native pride. One instance that came under
my observation, I recollect w ell, in which it was
strongly displayed. 11c happened to be in a small
town in lowa on the same day in which a party
of Dragoons, under Cnpt. arrived, and in
paying a visit to a friend with whom he always
partook ol a meal, whenever he stopped at the
village, he met with the Captain, who had been
J invited to dine,— Black Haw k remained expecting
the usual invitation to stay ami cat with them, but
when tin’ dinner was ready the host took him aside
and told linn the Captain, or rather the w hite
man’s chief was to dine with him that day, ami
1 ho must wait until they had finished. The old
' Chiefs eye glistenud with anger as he answered
.’ him, raising the forefinger of one hand to his
' breast to represent the oilicer—"l know the white
s man is a Chief, but I,” elevating the linger of
j ] the uher hand thr above his head, ‘-was a Chid',
i ’ u d led my v.ati.ois lo the fight long before his
ge \ .knew him. Your meat -my dogs should

Letters were rccqved in New York on the sth
bringing information that the millers in the in
terior ol that State had agreed to suspend business
for the season on the 10th inst, rather than pay
the high prices demanded far Wheat by the farm

The quantity of Flour received in New York
by the Erie Canal from the 15th of April to the
Ist of November instant, was 838,993 bids., and
the quantity of Wheat 483,473 bushels—being
an excess over last year during the same period
equal to 301,bdl bids, of Flour, as an increase of
47A per cent.
Wc copy from the People’s Press of yesterday
evening the following information from Millcdgc
villc, forwarded by the Editor of that paper who is
there at present. The resolutions Mow, were al
so offered in the Senate by Mr. Eeltols of Walton.
These resolutions cannot pass cither branch of the
Legislature, unless we are greatly mistaken. Nor
do we believe that any resolutions can pass, which
express approbation of Van Buren’a administra
tion. Resolutions approbating the separation of
Government from banks, may and probably will
pass, but even then they must eschew the specie
feature.
Georgia Legislature.
Ti f.siut, Nov. 6th, 1838,
House of Rephesextati vf.s.
The House met at 10 o’clock.
Mr. Crawford, of Richmond, introduced a hill
to amend the second section of the third article of
the Constitution.—Read first time.
Mr. Kelly ofliouslon, introduced the following
Preamble and Resolutions, which will lie on the
table till called up.
Whereas a connection between the General
Government and corporate moneyed associations,
the effect ol which is to make the movements of
the former dependent, upon the operations of the
latter, or, by an alliance with them, to create a
combined influence superior to the power of the
people, is contrary to the spirit, and at variance
with the character and institutions of our country :
And whereas experience has signally demonstra
ted the futility ol such connection lor all good pur
poses, and recent circumstances have fortunately
dissolved it; —And whereas the advocates of mo
neyed power have assumed such connection, and
the establishment of a Bank of the United States,
to be indispcnsiblc aids to the General Govern
ment in its fiscal operations;—And whereas the
preservation of the fabric of our Government, in its
original simplicity and purity, is matter of para
mount importance, and such simplicity and purity
arc best preserved by the collection ol the revenue
by, and depositc of it with, officers selected by,
and responsible to, the people, to be disbursed by
thorn, under proper legislative restrictions, and if
the revenue be so collected and disbursed without
the ageney of Banks, temptation to raise a re
venue out of the people beyond the actual wants
of the Government is to a great extent removed;
—And whereas the sentiments of the people of
Georgia, on questions essentially involving the
purity, permanency, and consequent well-being
of our institutions, should be so proclaimed as
not to be misunderstood—
lie it Resolved, by the Senate and House of
' Representatives of Ibe Siateif Georgia in Gen
' irat Assembly met, and it Is hereby resolved by
* the author. Uj of the same, That the recommen
l datioir of the President of the United States, to
* dispense with the agency of Banks in the collec
-9 lion and keeping ol the revenue, meets with our
l> assent iwul approbation.
Re itfurttier resolved, by the authority afore
'■ said, That the measure of separating the Govern
s mont from moneyed institutions, os embodied in
the Independent Treasury act, submitted to Con
'* gress at its recent session, is a measure truly rc
s publican, and can only excite the opposition of
p those who are the advocates of a Bank of the
I nited States, and the triends of a moneyed aris
c tocracy.
e Be it farther Resolved, <S,e. That the General
101 |‘ Government is able to conduct its fiscal operations
■c- j Slates, the agency of a Bank of the United
immense pov. ,rpate such an institution, with the
nc its triends. vvouM c.,1, are demanded for it by

;n. the very movements and opt.. ..|n Btitution
id- would destroy the genius and annihihu- ’
ug rit, if it did not in time subvert lire form of w
publican government.
10 Be it farther Resolved, <5 c. That we will rail;
ore around and support the present administration u
md the General Government in theeffort it is makim
cm to sus taiu the cause of the people against the at
* tacks of bank monopolists, by endeavoring t
, | sever the Government from the banks.
1,10 j Be -it farther Resolved, Ac - That we war no
1 l ° | with our Stale institutions so long as they eon
thj! tinue to confine themselves to the objects so
which they were created, and are content to ri
1 volve within their legitimate sphere*,—that they
are corporations created for mere commercial pur
poses, and should not attempt to grasp political
power, w hich they most assuredly do, when they
seek to link themselves with the Government.

From the Savannah Georgian.
Late from Florida.
By the steamer New York, Capt. Wright, ar
rived yesterday from Carey’s Ferry, we have re
ceived the following from our attentive correspon
dent ;
Fobt llaiu.ee, E. F., Oct.
Mr. Editor-—Accompanying this, I send you a
copy of a general order, announcing the disposi
tion of the troops for the approaching campaign,
and extracts from letters received from two officers
of great intelligence.
Although Gen. Taylor feels very confident that
he can bring the war to a close by negociation,
yet he is unwilling to trust the wily savage ; and
his arrangements are being made with a view to
avail himself of force, should it be found neces
sary.
A loiter from a friend at Tampa Bay is recei
ved, giving the best news ever yet received; and
his authority is of the highest value. He says,
“a number of Tallahassees and Seminolea proper
are here; from 170 to 300, in families. —
Among them is Euchee-thiocko-Emathla, the
prime minister of the Tallahassees, and (he family
of Eeho-Emathla, king of that band. Several mi
nor chiefs are here; and a principal sub-chief of
the Mickasukies, named Coosa-Tustcnuggee, was
recently in, and gave a very reasonable and favora
ble talk. He has since sent a runner, to say, that
by the full of this moon, he will he in, with a num
ber of his people, not to go out again. Sam
Jones is very sick, and perhaps, by this time,
dead, and with his people, on his way to this
place, (Tampa.) He sent in a runner to Colza,
(Alligator’s stepson,) to say, that he would make
a large fire down the bay, when Colza must go
out and meet him, and then escort him in here.
Should Sam Jones come in, or die, the long
agony is over. You perhaps know, that I have
never been sanguine; perhaps lers so than any
officer in Florida; hut I now think matters more
favorable than they have ever been before, and I
confidently expect to see most of all those now’
out, on board ship, perhaps earlier than March
or April.”
The above is highly gratifying to General Tay
lor, and confirms all iris favorable anticipations,
of the early settlement of this infernal war. He
has succeeded in shipping every one of the Apa
lachicola Indians, (about 280— say 90 warriors;)
and this is a most important point gained. It
will have a very strong influence on the main
point. Gen. Taylor's grand talk, according to all
his arrangements, is to take place at Tampa Bay,
on the 6th November.
