The war song ol the warrior, with Us wild and not unmusical ca dence, was hushed. All was stillness—dead Klillncas, except when a sobbing wail broke luirj.ubilly Iroin Hie interior of some lodge whose mumles triad suffered in the late be* roabeineut. , . Jt was ala (a'c hour of the night Hint me •pell was broken. Warriors muffled in I heir shaggy robes. were seen Hilling in the bloom towards the chiefs lodge. In silence, and with smothered tread they glided onward and cu'iorud. Thu meeting was one of deep import to the nation. There was a sadness and sternness in il, tor unlike the triumphal gathering that had been held but llm day previous in the same budding. Since then w at 11 change ! The victims doomed to destruction bad bad worsted them in conflict; and many ol those who bad pronounced their sentence were no.v stiffening 111 the embrace of death. Tba marks of the fray woie stamped upon all. B.lllla «ore gashed with wounds as yet nnbomid. Olliers crouched in tho flicker ng light ol tho tire, with thuir features red with gore. Others with their brows knit in sullen furrows, and tiieir useless arms at their sides, sal brooding in silent fury over the disastrous result* of their enterprise. At tin.* upper end of ibc lodge sat the old chief, and beside him an Indian, with his hair hanging in long and dishevelled Make locks on Ins shoulders. The lower part ol' a s body was ctathud in a while robe, marked with different symbol*. II.• forehead was low deeply (ar rowed, and beneath bis brow b * malignant eyes gleamed like sparks ol lire. -His lace had (alien in, bis frame was withered, and bis arms were shrunken. Every thing denoted flccropitn.le, excepting those brilliant snake like orbs, which showed that though his phy meal powers were wrecked, the lire ot his in tellect was yet miexlinguislied. Thir was the chief Medocin of the villaje. One as tho-e whose superior craft ol intelli gence* enables them to bend tho wild rabble to (jioir will, by 1 heir jugglery and protended communication with tbe Hciiy. In the centre of the lodge sat a single In dian female, surrounded by a ring of warriors. Upon her Hie angry looks ul all wore nvottod. ft was Nahtou.ah; alio was hound with leath ern thongs. The haughtiness which at limes lighted up her otherwise soft and feinniine Asaiurcs, had disapncired, am! she no v scorn ed in the lowest and most heart-breaking de spondency. Her hair was dishevelled, her feature* were wet with tears; and not a trace •f her bold carriage was left. Once —and tint once she raised her head and ran a wistful glance round the assemblage. She encountered n»t a face but scowled upon her, amt with a despairing gesture she dropped her 1 ves to the ground. Tne allottee which for nearly an hour had filled tho building, was now broken by the Medecin, who slowly rose. The Im-U gre i intense; the ruthless was so wrapped, that it seemed that not a brenlli wa, drawn, though every Itirrowed lace was kindled into excite ment. The Mfthrin east a keen and lull triumphant look upon the gir'; then directed Kis attention to the assembly. ••The I’awnee” said he, “arc selling in council. Dm the places of many are empty.

The Med ecm was irresolute ; he cast a quick but keen glance round the building, to learn from the swarthy faces, whether Im was likely to ho supported in In* sacrifice. He s.iw with in stinctive quickness, that though many of the older portion of thu audience, influenced per haps by Ins sacred character, were disposed to tnvor him, yet that the hold bearing of the Hawk duel had produced a revolution in the younger and more fiery members of the coun cil. After pausing for a moment, ho addressed tho Hawk Chief. •My brother speaks words of lire. He knows not what he gays ; lie speaks lor one who lias betrayed tier tribe—for one who has broughtdcnil into the lodgo of the Pawnee.” The face of the Hawk chief grew troubled.

The House passed the Senate biH altering Ihe constitution, so as to change tile meeting of the legislature from annual to biennial. Hast night in tlie Senate, Ihe hill to regulate the intercourse between the Insurance Hank of Columbus, ami other banks, Ac. Was taken up, when a warm anil excited debate took place. Many amendments! were'proponed and rejected, and the yeas and nays were taken several times. At Nst Ihe previous question was moved and sustained, which put a stop to further debate. On Ihe passage of the Mil, the yeas were 34, nays 27. In the Senate, this morning, the bill of the House to relieve the Marine and Flic Insurance Dank of Savannah, from certain penalties in 'its charter, provided the said hank renounces the in surance privileges granted to it in the charter, was taken up; and on motion to Jay the bill on the table fur lie remainder ol lie session, the yeas were 33, nays 31, This morning also in the Senate, the hill of the House, for the construction hy die Slate, of the Western and Atlantic Kail Road, was taken up and passed.

On the subject Mr. Crawford delivered a very impressive and elo quent speech. The hill of Ihe House to encourage interna improvement, is to he taken up this afternoon in the Scua'e. DECEMBER 24. The Legislature did not adjourn last night as it was anticipated. The House could have ad journed, hut the Senate had 100 many bills to be acted upon, to be able to dispose of them all.— Both branches have therefore adjourned to meet again tomorrow at U o’clock. In the Senate, yesterday afternoon and eve ning, nothing was clone, but going through three sections of tho Internal Improvement Bill. The discussion wilt lie resumed tomorrow, and the bill despatched in some way or other. Some at tempts were made to add some amendments to it, of a local nature, which fai'ed. It is very ob jectionable as passed by the House ot Kcprescn ■ talives; so that if the senate does not amend it, I care not wboiber it becomes a law. An attempt was made in the Senate to remove the objectiona ble features of the bill, but it failed. The rain was incessant from Friday to this mor ing. The water courses have risen.

The Georgia Conference of the Methodist E piscopal Church, commenced its animal session in this place on Wednesday, the 13lh insl., and terminated ita’lahors on Wednesday night last. Bishop Morris, of Ohio, presided. During its sitting, public exercises were held in the Church which wore well attended hy our community, ami where they were favored with the opportu nity ol receiving the ministrations of the Gospel at the hands of a goodly number of its zealous and devoted advocates. We learn (hat about 800 members have been added to the Church within the bounds of the Conference during the present year; and the la bors of its ministers have been generally blessed in building up its institutions and promoting its prosperity. Among the questions agitated in the Confer ence; was the subject of slavery, introduced, as wo understand, in consequence of the peculiar construction |M.it by some persons upon a clause in tbo Discipline where domestic servitude is al luded to. To satisfy the setuplea of the most fastidious, the following resolutions were intro duced, and unanimously adopted ; Nesolveil, 1 bat it is the sense of the Georgia Annual Conference, that slavery, as it exists in the United Slate, is not a moral evil. Itesalved, That we view slavery as a civil and domestic institution, and one with which, as Mi. ■listers of Christ, wo have nothing to do, further Ilian to ameliorate the condition of the slave, hy endeavoring to impart to him and his master, the benign influences of the religion of Christ, and aiding both on their way to heaven.

Since the Ist November 1836, we have re ceived the following supplies: from Savannah and Darien, 120,355 bales, Charleston, 93,892; Virginia, 5798; New York, &c. 76,321; in »n' 296,364 from ibu Atlantic board: from New Or- I leans, 333,994; Mobile, 129,708; Florida, 14,. | 728; in all; 478,422 from Ihe gulf, making a total j import of 774,766 bales, which is much larger | than in any former season; in the last we recalled ' only 721,518, while in 1834 1835 the import j only amounted to 687,439, and in 1833.1834 to I j 697,451. | ) The quantities delivered for home eonsnmp.

We commenced Tie prevent season with high piiee,; fair Louisiani and Upland t’oltun were , worth 10id, and Tennessee these rates be ing Id above those of Ist Novcinlrer, 1835. ’lhe : scarcity of money, which preceded the late eritris, | was m this time sensibly diminishing Ihe valve of all produce, hy Christmas the prices of Cotton were $d to lower; the stock then was much reduced 20,000 hales less than in 1835; this in duced more spirited buying, and by the middle ot January the lower qualities had improved $d a Jd. Although, the actual consumption was now on the increase, and perhaps differed little from that of 1836, the daily augmenting difflctil itcs in ihe commercial world occasioned, Imm this time, a rapid fall in prices: this downward tendency continued with little intermission, until the middle of May, when the lowest point was attained. The entire decline from the highest prices of the Islh Jan. was about or Ifrom 30 to 40 per cent, while the discrepancy from the current rales of May 1836, was still greater. After the great failures in June, the worst of Ihe crisis wss tell to ha over, c mfidencc slowly revived, and with it the demand (or all descriptions of produce. It was not until August that a material improve ment occurred in prices ; the cessation of heavy imports, mid Ihe constantly large purchases of consumers, exporters and speculators, led, hy the middle of September, to an advance of Id l}d from the point of extreme depression: since then, sumo slight fluctuations have occurred, but leav ing our present quotations hcarly the same. Sea Islands, owing to their scarcity, maintained their highest rates until the end of March ; they then declined very rapidly ; the intelligence of the t,e --v ra hn ricanes ot July and August produced a re. vulsion of feeling, and piices have gradually im proved during tho last two months. For sonic years the bin,sumption of American cotton had been P'ln.ng upon the growth ; the stocks left in b.oiopo and America, at the close of each seas' - ,!!’! had invariably diminished, and the average quantity on band during the entire twelve months was sensibly less. To this constant pros 1 cf the trade must be attributed the high prices current during the fouryeara 1833 to 1836; these have at length (rttf r shmuli'teJ 'tVie produc tion, iliKl "11% now sufficient to meet the wants of consumers. It is true that the present slock here is smaller than at any similar period, but this is made up hy tho larger quantity lying in the Continental ports, while on the Ist Oclo her there were in the ports of the United Stales 117,000 bales against 34,000 in 1836, and it was moderately estimated that 100,000 a 150,000 bales more than usual were held inland. Consid ering these particulars and the favorable prospects fin gadieiing in the abundant new crop, wc think the excitement and rapid advance of prices in our market during Ihe present week should nolle viewed in a very sanguine light. Os the 108,000 bales which composed our stock, 50,000 at least are held by speculators ; the markets is therefore in some degree under their control; the more opulent spinners arc well slock ed, but there is a largo number ol Mss extensive manufactures who depend upon weekly purcha ses for the r supply,—these may have to pay dear er cm long for the raw material, but the fluctua tions of the next few weeks will a (lord no safe cri lei ion for (be obi mate prospects of Ihe season, now commencing, only when ample supplies are met by tho healthy demand of tho early spring trade, can it bo decided whether tho mass of the transactions of ihe season are to be effected at lower or higher rales than those now current; viewing tho siimlus given to consumption, by the cheapness of the article, wo incline to the latter opinion.
