Bushlied, who had now got ou his hobby, but 1
partly conceit if you had been with me one day
last fall, you would have thought so. 1 saw a
deer and its fawn across a creek the other s.do
of the mountain, and was’nt aliogethet stow in
lettin fly, 1 tell you. The ball ranged them
both. 1 bad to wade through the creek, and 1
found the ball iiad entered a hollow tree, after
going right clean through the two deer, where
there was a hive of honey, but the honey was
. running away like all nature ; so 1 siooped down
to pick up something to stop it; when 1 put my
hand on a rabbit hid under a great toadstool.
I slung down the rabbit, and swore he was not
fit to stop the honey with, and killed fourteen
Patridges. Lut somehow or other, coming a
cross the creek, my trowsers had got so full of
fish,, that one of the buttens burst clean oft', and
1 will agree to bo eternally darned if it didn’t
, hit a wild turkey right in the left eye. Whoop!

A whole team, 1 should think, said Rainsford,
highly amused at the eccentric rhodoinoniade of
the woodman. Virginia happening at this mo
ment to enter, he addressed her with a good
humored kind of audacity—-
You nea( little varment have you got anv
thing for supper ? for may 1 be lost in a cane*
break, as 1 once was, wher. 1 first came to these
parts, if 1 aint transceudantly hungry. 1 could
. eai like all wrath.
Supper was brought in, and Bushfield made a
most iraiiscendant supper. The company con
tinued sitting round the table enjoying this little
social meal, which was once the evening tattoo
that brought all the family together, but which is
Dow elbowed out of the circle of domestic econ
omy into drawing rooms and saloons, and might
rather be called the morning breaklast than the
, evening supper. Virginia, who had a mis
chievous little female relish for humor, and
who could enter into that of Bushfield, which in
deed, though odd and extravagant, had nothing
in it partaking of vulgarity, took occasion to
question hint as to the particulars of die story of ,
his being lost in the cane-brake to which ho
had alluded. I
Well, 1 know you want to have a laugh at j
me, but howsomever, 1 don’t so much mind
being laughed at by a woman and so i’ll tell you
the story for all that and you may laugh any
how as you’re not a man. I was out after a
bear that had been about iny hut several nights,
and he led me such a dance ! I wasn’t such a
keen hand ut finding iny way then ; and at last
got into a cane-break along the river where the
canes stood so thick, 1 wish I may be shot if
you could put the little end of a small needle
between them without spectacles. Well 1 was
ripping and tearing away to get out but only got
deeper and deeper into the plaggy place ; when
all at once I heard (he queerest noise I ever
" ‘co me "a cross in all my days, though I’ve heard
a pretty considerable vaiiety, and I then
thought ( knew all the notes of the varments
from the growl of the bear to the screech of the
panther. But! could make nothing of this,
and began to keep a sharp lookout, winch was
■ hardly worth while lor 1 couldn’t see to the end
of my, eye-lashes the canes were so transreiid
nuily close together. Well 1 cut and slashed i
bout, every now and then heard the qtteei nois;
at lust it was so close to me, that I pricked my
ears and cocked my gun, to be readv to take
keer of myself in case of risk. Well, as 1 kepi
on ripping and tearing about, at last I came
smack on the drollest looking th.ijg, perhaps
you ever laid you eyes on. Il sat all in a heup.
like the fellow (hat found sixpenco-appenny in
a place, wtlh its dead down below its shoulders
and its hair all liangin about like the beard of
a buffalo bull. Whoop ! said I and the varment
raised its head—When I wish I may be shot if
it did’ut turn out a real he Ingen.

THE CHOLERA.
The Cholera is yet “going to and fro in the
earth, and walking up and down in it.” Il is stated
in the Augusta Courier that in Havana upwards
of (1,000 persons had died of the disease on the
28th April last, “nine hundred and two persons in
one day.”
The destroying Angel has certainly been sent
forth to empty one of the vials of the wrath of the
Almighty upon the inhabitants of the Earth: and
his commands are executed without regard to the
salutary and restrictive clause “spare their lives.”
Old and young, bond and free, rich and poor,
righteous and uurightious, al), all tall victims to
the destructive plague.
Perhaps some of the wise men of the age might
contend that these things were accidental, and
have their origin in accidental causes: but we do
not protest to be so wise; Ar are superstitious enough
to believe that the cholera is a plague sent forth
by the Almighty for the express purpose ot scourg
ing us for our sins: not, indeed, in the spirit of
revenge: but for the purpose of warning us of our
molality, and showing us the titter unprofitableness
ot those earthly things upon which our affections
oeem to be placed; and turning our attentions to
those things only which are profitable, the con
cerns of our immortal souls.
Avarice seems to have taken deep root in the
affections of men. preventing the growth of those
pure which can alone assimilate man to
hia Creator. Gold and silver, greatness, grandeur,
un i earthly splendor are continually passing
through our vain imaginations: bewitching our mi
derstaudings, and causing us tn prefer earthly
to nine things, and the concerns of our mortal
bodies, which must shortly turn to their original
dust to the concerns of our immortal souls.
So tar arc we trq(n supposing tuat these, and
other Stan ar scourges have been sent upon us in
the spirit ol revenge, or to gratify his displeasure,
that we beUeve (hey originate in the goodness and
mercy of God towards his creatures: for puisnasion,
L threaieumgs, warnings, Scourging,, aud every oth.
er possible means are used by him for the purpose
ot convrusing us of sin, and causing us to turn
from the error of our ways, and from our dark
ness unto the ntarvaioiis light of the gospel. Al
though we believe that these things are providen
y t:al, wo will tttjto occsaspm hero to remark, that
there are some things 30 iight and trivial in their |
.aiiire, thm we think it wutibkbe derogatory to the
• ignitv ot the Creator, to suppose that he attend
o them.
We would take great pleasure in extending our
• marks upon this subject to a considerable length,
>'it we think that the columns of intelligencer
mold be more suitably devoted to the news and
1 'lines of the day; and that it would be infringing ,
■1; the rights of those papers which are exclusively !
• voted to religious subjects: there are, moreover, I
preachers in our coumn of the most profound j
talents, who are capabje. of handling, aud have, no j
doubt, handled this subject in a manner not to be j
uuitated by the editor of a newspaper.
We publish to day the conclusion of Judge J
-mith’s address to the Union and State rights party 1
of South Carolina. Tliis address sets forth the con- •
duct of the leading nullifiers of (hat sta.e; & shows, <
conclusively, that their own self aggrandizement, 1
and not the good of their country, has been the
mainspring of all their actions. We have no doubt
nut that Judge. Smith will be able, if required by
the proper authority, 10 substantiate the facts which >
ne has stated by satisfactory evidence. Vve are ,
fully convinced that this address will be read, with
interest, by the friends of the union in our own .
slate also. It may here be asked, who are the
friends of the Union? for the nullifiers, mirabile 1
dictu! claim this title also: to this quesston we an- 1
swer, the Clark men, and those ol the Troup men '
who have become identified with them in thesame
ause, by abandoning, or refusing to adopt thee (
heretical doctrines of the nullifiers. (
It is impossible for us to believe that the nulli
fiers are serious iu their professions of attachment
to the Union: their words and their actions, in our I
humble opinion, stand diametrically opposed 10 t
each other. As well might we believe > man sin- f
cere in his professions of friendship to us, wno 11
was, at the same time, plunging liis dagger into ‘
our vital parts. It is with much difiiculiy that we 1
can retrain from the ase of strong language when j
we touch upon this subject; as we have oeen exas- <
perated by the opprobrious epithets which <
have been applied to the party to which we belong. <
and by the burning in efligy o f woof the distm- - 1
guished, talemed, and patriotic citizens ol’Gejr- 1
gia. But we should be sorry to say any thing that '
might wound ihe feelings of some, who are tinfor- ■
innately found among the ranks of the nullifiers, ;
and lor whom we entertain the warmest feelings of
friendship: we feel also peisuadcd that thdv would 1
not sanction the conduct above alluded to: and that 1
|in regard to their doctrine, they have been led a 1
stray by the misrepresentation of some of their '
leading men iu wham they placed implicit con
fidence; and thittneirsis an error of the head, '
and not of the heart.
CHEROKEES.
We have not been able to discover any symp- J
toms of a disposition amongst the natives to re- !
move from this country: on the contrary, when in- J
terrogated upon this subject, they uniformly an
swer. no! that they do not intend moving to the
Arkansas. We believe, too, that there has been ■
a pretty general opinion prevailing amoui' at mem
of late, that they will yet recover their lands back
from the Georgians. This is a must unfortunate
and delusive idea, and will lend to retard an event
which must sooner or lator take place, io wit. their
entire removal from this country: for the whites
have been pouring in, until a very few weeks back,
like bees into a hive, and will soon surround them
on every side. A. nd we would have our friends at
<1 distance lolly to understand; that the whites who
have settled, and are settling in this country are
not of the lowest order, as they are apt vainly to
imagine; but many of them are of the first respect
ability.
Vve regret to say that many of the Indians of
the lower order arc in a state of extreme want: and
this results as a necessary consequence from their
spending their time, their money, and even their
corn itself in procuring ardent spirits.
But there are different degrees of intelligence
and respectability amongst them, many of them
possessing not only the necessaries of life, but an
astonishing degree of natuial smartness and quick
ness of apprehension. We had occasion lately to
notice the powers of mimicry belonging to an In
dian named ——
This Indian wished to sell or swap his puny,
which, it seems, iu indeavoring to subjugate, had
proved “toomany” lor ms master, & imagined him
self born lor higher ami nobler purposes than pull
ing the plough. In indeavoring to describe the
peculiar properties, actions, and conduct of this
unruly pony, the Indian quickly discovered that
wc were a novice in lus language, and did not un
derstand a word lie said; he there!' re found it ne
cessary to communicate his ideas oy signs and
gestures: he. immediately pitched himself into the
attitude of a horse, ami assumed the appearance
of an awlul fright, he leered round to the right ami
left, the pupils of his eyes dilated, and ins nostrils
‘expanded; wne: suddenly, overcome uitn terror
, at the apparatus in iiis rear, he dashed like li.»in
-1 ning. When the inamzuvre was lully caned
through, tie pointed to the height on a sapling
were the plough had struck, and men, with a pecu
liar gesture of the hand, signified mat the gear
s was torn into a thousand tragments. From wnat
i we saw 011 this occasion, wo have uo doubi but
; that tins Indian, if his acquired abilities were equal
’ to ms natural, would make an excellent comic ac
, tor.
1 .A waggish young Indian lately made great sport
or himself and comrades much at our own e.x
--t pence. The circumstance was this; a number of
1 Indians had collected at the store of ‘..r. M'Uon
-1 nell where we reside, which is unusual occurrence,
1 for the purpose of trading; amongst then noises a
1 ! remarkable pony attracted our attention, wnich we
-1 afterwards had occasion to team was a trained ra
!' cer; wmlst we were dminng the comely parts, and
r elegant propoition ol me animal, his owner siap’d
i | us upon the back, and by a gesture which we could
1 not inisund rstand. signified his desire that wc
• should mount him and try him; the pony was bad- i
|y capauson'd, the saddle was old and tattered, and
the bridle composed of various materials, consist- '
1 ! ing of leather, strings, aud other materials too te- ’
1 dious to mention; we however mouote him more
1 for the purpose of gratifying ttte Indian than our
own curiosity, when, suddenly, away went Gilpin! I
the Indian, knowing the trick of the. annual, raised
the yell, and ihe pony “shot forwrrd as if me devil [
had kicked him on end." H c were not aule to
reach the stirrups by two or three inches: at the i
first bound our eye balls started from their sockets, I
and with clenched teeth aud convulsive grasp we
seized him by the mane. Our course lay down- •
wards tor we had not proceeded far b; fore we
came to a long, steep descent, full of roots,
stumps, and gullies; down this we flew wi<h the
speed of lightning, imagining every moment would
be our last. After we had run what the pony con
cluded was a reasonable distance, thanks to the
powers above! he condescended to stop. Now
all this was done to the unspeakable satisfaction of
the natives: the pony, too seemed elated at ihe
idea of having displayed !iis lleetnevs to the best
advantage; and we, uncn delivering him up to his
1 I
| owner, grinned a ghastly smile, and expressed our
approbation of his performance.
A MURDER.
Ou the night of the 2dth of April last an Indian
named Samuel Secowy was killed in Cass County
near daily Hughes’s. An inquest was lie+d- ovfer the
dead body, the result ot which was that the Indian wa:
! murdered; arid that from the best evidence, the
; could ootuin, 00-gah-lv-dah, Rabit a Creek Indian
and an Indian woman named Ah-yoh-stah, Were the
perpetrators of the crime. The reasons of the murder
it seems, are not exactly known, unless it be somw
thingol a matrimonial nature ; but a witness has bee/
secured who is perfectly acquainted .with the circum
stances. We said that Secowy was killed on the
night of the 28th of April, this is not the fact, he was
mortally wounded on the 28th, but died on the third
of May ; he was so awiully mangled,that it was a mat
ter of great astonishment to all who saw him that he
survived such a length of time : his skull was fractured
and he continued in a state ®f mental derangein’ent
untill the lime of his death. The Jury, from the pre
vious confession of some of the parties themselves,
found that lie was beaten to death with stones: and
this was abundantly manifested from external evi
dence, and the awfully mangled state of the body.
The murderers took flight immediately after hear
ing of the death of Secowv , and it is thought that they
will go over to the Cherokee lands in Tennessee.
All good citizens, and particularly the public officers
will of course be on their watch, and it they can suc
ceed in (akii.g all or any of the murderers, they will
bring them before James Kirkpatrick esq or some oth
er Justice ol (he peace in Cass County.
The above intorrnation may be relied upon, as w>
received it from Mr. kirkpatlick himself, who had a<
tual knowledge of the transaction, and acted as coron
er in the absence of John Peck coroner of the county.
Mr. Jolly Sheriff of originally Cherokee now ot
Forsyth county did noi sell on Tuesday last any of
the lots which were advertised for sale on that day
at Cherokee Court House, except such as lay within (
this County; and they were sold by Mr Brooks the'
present Sheriffat Cherokee. This, we think, was ve- ■
ry prudent in Mt. Jolly, as many difficulties might have j
arisen in consequence of the sales, and perhaps some I
damage to the .sheriff himself. It is the opinion ot
some with whom we have conversed that the maxim
of‘‘caveat emptor” would have applied in this case
and tiiat the purchaser only would have been the’
looser. If any injury had resulted to the purchaser in }
consequent; oi a delect in die defendants title merely, i
this max.m would certainly have applied: but as the’
Sheriff in this case would have proceeded illegally
in selling, not such a title as the defendant had, but '
in tact no title ti ali.ashe had no power to convey, (
we humbly conceive (hat (he maxim would not apply; ’
and that it is quite probable that the Sheriff might I
have been made responsible to the purchaser either in !
assumpsit tt>< money Lad and received, or in Case fop
damages sustained’ ■ ’
The above o, inion is expressed without reference
to any authority: we are therefore to conviction,
acd wouli be Ihunkiui for authonty to the coutra
ry.
Tne protests which have troin time to time appear- I
tt,e I“'ellige.iicer have uo doubt by this time at- (
tra.,teu die, attention of some o! our readers. It may
not be improper ncre to give notice to those who may
be coriceriied that there is yet great uncertainty as
to the place wh ch will be n'timately selected for the
c i.nity si.e of Utierokee.
We should be thankful for yet other and further
i protests, as we are, in the mean time, not forgetful of
the printers tec.
A report has been circulated that Mr. Josiah Roberts
a preacher o' the Methodist denomination, who has iu
charge rhe Ghestatee mission, had lately absconded
for debt. ’I his report is false, as Mr. Roberts is now
fulfilling his appointments in Cherokee County: and
we regret to say that in consequence of this injurious
report the people have, in a great, measure failed to
attend.
Editors friendly so the cause of religion would do
well to notice the above a few times.
