1 should like .to go out with you, one of these times it their is good spun m your pan of the world 1 dont know what you cail good sport cried 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! aiut 1 a horse I 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 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. •■I ?.*. >.» .v vX< Xi X? Xi X< --i- Xi Xi Xi Jk Xk XX XX ( li’OwTBY zZ >4" A SONG— Air.
