BV COIVPEtt. He who holds fast the Clolden Mean, And lives contentedly between The little and the great, Feels not the wants that pinch the poor, Nor plagues that haunt the rich man’s door, Embitt’ring all his state. The tallest pines feel most the power Os wintry blasts ; the loftiest tower Comes nearest to the ground ; The bolts that spare the mountain’s side, His cloud-capt eminence divide And spread the ruin round. The well inform’d philosopher Rejoices with a wholesome fear, And hopes, in spite of pain ; If winter bellows Horn the north Soon the sweet Spring comes dancing forth, And nature laughs again. If hindrances obstruct thy way Thy magnanimity display And let thy strength be seen ; But oh 1 if fortune fill thy sail With more than a propitious gale, Take half thy canvass in. MISCELLANY. [From the Mississippi Southern Sun.] Through the exertions of John J. Smith and Mr. White, sheriff of Scott county, the murderers of the unfortunate Silas 1). Rives, which occurred on the 19th of September last, have been detected, and one of them is in close confinement.— i John W. Carter, calling himself John W. Collins, was taken a few days ago, in Lauderdale county, and brought to this place on yesterday by Messrs. Smith and j White. It seems that Carter and Cook j had been a short time previous to the mur- 1 der of Rives, prowling about Hillsborough, 1 in Scott county, seeking employment as , well diggers; that for a week preceding the murder they absented themselves with provisions sufficient to last them eight or ten days. These provisions were found in the swamp where Rives was killed.— Suspicion resting upon them they were immediately pursued, and were not heard of until Cook, calling himself Johnston, got within ten miles of home, and gave S3O to ride ten miles. Cook with his wife and children started that night for Mobile, and from thence to Texas. Carter was pursued and taken at his residence in Lowndes county, where his property had been previously levied upon by the sheriff, and upon his return he paid up the execu tions and released it Some of the money he paid the sheriff, has since been identi fied to be Rives’. It is unknown what amount of money Rives bad at the time he was killed, but it is supposed he had a bout $10,500. Cook, who is probably now in Texas, has, no doubt, the major part of this sunt. From the character Carter gives him, he is a bad or worse rob ber than John A. Murrell, now in the Pen itentiary of Nashville. lie once lived in Florida, but was compelled to leave for bis crimes. The following are some of the crimes he committed, according to his confession to Carter who related them to me in the presence of M r. Smith, at whose request I wrote them down, and send to you for publication so that the good citi zens of Texas may be on their guard, and if possible, bring this demon to justice.— From this short history of Cook, he was, no doubt, one of the main instigators of the late Seminole war in Florida. Carter does not recollect the precise date these murders and robberies were committed, but said it was about the commencement, and during the Seminole war. Carter I states that Cook and a njari by tli£ name l of Bryant, who lives at Lake Pontchar train, killed a man by the name of Allen, Jin Tallahassee, Florida, and robbed him ! of $1859 cash. Cook painted himself like an Indian,; and headed a large number of Seminoles, and butchered one of the most wealthy families of white people on the frontier of Florida. After killing the whole family, except a young tnan, who stood over and fought for his sister until he was wounded by a shot from an Indian—Cook then stuck an axe in his head, and left it there sticking—robbed the house of $llOO in paper money, and 70 or SBO in specie.--; He kept the paper himself, and gave the Indians the silver. Cook then went to Apalachicola Bay,' and from thence to Bainbridge, Decatur county, Ga., and in company with a Vir ginian, with whom he had been travelling in the stage, and supposing he had money, I at Cooke’s instance he walked to the I spring, there killed the Virgininn, threw! him in the river, and robbed him of slll9—two SJG pieces of gold, and three smaller peices. This crime was commit ed in Dec. 183 G. From Bainbridge he returned to Columbus, Ga. his residence. In Tallahassee, Florida, he saw a trav eller pay his bill. Discovering he had 1 money, he told the stranger he was trav elling his route, and, as it was a dismal road he would be glad for his company. The stranger thanked him, and they trav elled about 17 miles when Cook proposed they should drink together, and while the stranger was drinking out of the bottle, Cook shot him through the back of the head, and robbed him of about $662. Cook and his brother-in-law, Charles Hollis, killed the ferryman of St. John’s ! River on the Aygtistine trail, a Frenchman, and robbed him of 17 or SIBOO, and turn ed the flat loose to avoid the possibility of pursuit. Cook murdered a tnan not far from Tallahassee, and robbed him 0f52400, and sl3 in cash. He then went into the Indian country,! jand purchased a pony, and stoic 17 more,! [and hired an Indian to assist him. When lie got into the white settlement he then ; made the Indian drunk and cut his throat. Cook and Capt. Minny (a celebrated pirate,) went to Snake Island, understand ing that a vessel was coming from Key West—murdered the crew, consisting of 7 or 8 men and three ladies—plundered the boat of $17,000 in specie, scuttled and sunk the vessel. Cook was then taken in irons to Talla hassee, but was released, by force, from the civil authorities, and the irons knock ed off. The names of his friends are Au gustine and Willis Austin of Texas. Cook and Capt. Minny, came across a vessel going from St. Marks to Almony Lake, laden with provisions, murdered the white persons on board, sold the pro visions and seven negroes which were on board, and sunk the vessel. Captain Min ny died at St. Marks last winter. Cook then left for Columbus, Ga. his residence, where he saw a traveller pay his bill, headed him, took deliberate aim at him; his gun snapped, which the strang er heard and fled. Cook met with an acquaintance from Texas in May or June last, in Clarke county, Alabama, whose name was William Green. Green told him that his old ! friends Augustine and William Austin, ; were then in Texas and were anxious that Cook should go there as they partic ularly needed his services. Cook thought there was no more harm in killing a man than there was in killing a hog—did not believe there was either boll or heaven—has killed and robbed 40 or 50 men, and would this winter murder and plunder as many more. Johnston Cook is between 2G and 30 years of age, weighs about 140 pounds, lias keen blue eyes, and is very narrow between the eyes, his face and hands are badly scared with dirks and knives, which he got by fighting; lias been stabbed through the muscle of the arm twice, w ith a dirk, also in the hip; his hair is sandy, and onie of his fingers are broken. Society is deeply interested in the de tection and punishment of such a villain. From this statement the governor should not hesitate to offer a heavy reward for his apprehension. Carter denies knowing anything of the murder of Rives, although the chain of circumstances connecting him with Cook, in his tragical deeds, are strong and would go far towards his conviction before any intelligent jury. He is an illiterate man, and no doubt was led on by Cook, who is a keen, shrewd and intelligent fellow. [From the Georgia Journal.] THE GEORGIA LUMBER COM PANY. Among the various undeveloped re sources of the State, there are none of mere importance then the vast pine forests of its Southern and Southwestern section. A company established for the purpose of bringing this Lumber of the forests into market, is now in active operation in Tel fair county, at Lumber City, their place of business. We take this occasion to congratulate the citizens of that county upon the high- Jy gratifying prospect of business and the rapid improvements that the county is ex periencing by the industry and enterprise of this company. It is a source of grati fication to us (and it should be to every citizen,) to announce that the supposed unproductive and almost neglected lands in the lower counties, are by the opera tions of capitalists thus engaged in the Lumber Trade, fast taking rank among the productive and wealthy counties of the State. There are no lands in any section of the State that bid more prom isingly to reward and enrich the owner. When cleared of the lofty growth of for est timber, experience lias shown, a great portion of them to be admirably adapted to the culture of Cotton; producing as good crops with the same expense of toil and cultivation, as any other in what are j considered more fertile sections. The operations of this Company have established an important fact, heretofore overlooked in regard to these lands; that is, the immense value of the pine timber. A market value for this timber, standing in the tree, has been fixed, and such is the rate that the owners of lands lying on j the streams, may be amply compensated | by the employment of their whole dispos i able force in cutting, building and rafting this timber to market. The present price i per thousand feet, netts the owner, a much greater sum than both timber and jland could a few years since command, j Several years since, the .Georgia Lum ber Company made purchases of large tracts of the first quality of these Pine! Lands in Telfair, Montgomery, Laurens, 1 and Pulaski counties, lying on the little j Oemulgee River, and the large streams which empty into it. They now own up wards of three hundred and twenty thou sand acres of these lands, perhaps the most valuable in those counties, having been selected in reference to the business of the Company. With this purchase, was included one of the largest and most powerful water powers in any of the South ern Atlantic States, situated on the Little Ocmulgee River, about a mile from its mouth. At this point, the Company with in the four years, have constructed large and expensive improvements, consisting of Saw Mills, Dwelling Houses, Shops, Storehouses, Wharfs, &.c. and a Dam across the river. The Saw Mills carry twenty-four saws, capable of cutting about one hundred thousand feet of lumber in twenty-four hours. These improvements including Steam Boats and Freight, have cost at least five hundred thousand dollars. The demand for manufactured lumber is greater than can be supplied, as is clear ly established by the numerous vessels at I Darien, engaged iu the trade. The price of lumber is high, and affords to the man ufacturer perhaps a better profit than any other business in which the same amount of capital is invested. The future demand and price of lumber opens a prospect to the company for a rich return of their en terprise and industry. The Grist Mill carries two run of stone, and being the only one within a consiff- 1 erable distance which is capable of run ning through the season, will command a large and profitable business. The de mand for meal is only confined to the lim its of transportation. The location of the Company, is about one hundred miles from Darien and Brunswick, by the line, about one hundred and fifty. The Stearn Boat belonging to the Com pany, is destined to tow boats loaded with lumber down the Alatamaha river to Da rien and Brunswick, where it will find sale and shipment for a foreign market, and tow back the freight which the busi ness of the country may require. The back freight, we are informed, will pay for the expenses of transporting lumber, down. The property possessed by this compa ny and employed in their business, must be of great value, not less than two million of dollars, and will produce a revenue j for the present year of at least eight per cent on that sum. At present the affairs of the Company are under the direction ami management of gentlemen of the first respectability and character, and upon whose integrity and capacity reliance can be had with entire confidence, for a faithful discharge ol* all j I duties to the company. America Vespucci.—A very interest ing young lady, about 26 years old, bear ing this name, has recently arrived, and is exciting great attention in New York. She is of the illus'trious House of Ves pucci, of Florence, Tuscany, and a lineal descendant of the great navigator, Amer igo Vespucci, after whom this country has received the name of America. It is said that she possesses great dignity of character, and intellectual endowments, and a degree of persona! beauty and grace, which has given her celebrity such as few of the noble Tuscan dames attain. Her enthusiasm of liberty led her to give of funco to *>cr sovereign, banish ment from her country; and for the last four years she lias been thrown on her otkn resources for support. The Ciueen of France has written letters, it is said, in her favor, consigning her to the protection of the French Minister in this country; her history and unpretending merits have opened all .hearts to her, and she has been cordially received in the best society.— Permission has been recently given her, to return home again but it is not said j whether she means to embrace it or not. ! [Charleston Courier. Great Improvements in Gun Locks. —An Italian named Kosaglio, who re sides in England, announces a gun-lock, constructed upon such new and curious principles that it acts without any exterior combustion, needs no priming, and frees tiie discharge from all flame or smoke but what is emitted at the mouth of the barrel. Burns’ Cottage —that is, the one in which he was born—is up for sale! It belongs to the incorporation of shoemak ers at Ayr, and as they are about winding up their affairs, the cottage comes to the hammer. It is now used as a public; house. [TERMS *3 IN ADVANCE. NUMBER Bft. I [From the N. Orleani Courier, Dec. 26.] The the soil of the State by the Commanding-General of the Texian army affords an unpleasant illustration of Texian notions of international law and State sovereignty. If such things are done thus early by a people who but yes : terday, as it were, owed allegiance to the : laws of the United States, what may we not in Louisiana apprehend when our neighbor shall have thrown off his swad ; tiling clothes ami attempt maturity and strength among the nations of the earth? We trust the Governor of Lousianna will demand reparation for the insult, and the punishment of the officer who gave it. The follow ing particulars of theoutrage we copy from the Natchitoches Herald of the oth instant; "A courier was despatched about a week ago from Shreveport to Fort Jesup, with the astonishing intelligence that that town was filled with an armed force from Texas, amounting to about one hundred men, uuder the command of Gen. Rusk, and that the lives of many of its citizens had been threatened by the invaders. “On the receipt of this intelligence, Col. Many, with all the troops under his com mand, and taking with him one field-piece, promptly marched to succor the citizens of Shreveport. The result of his expedi tion is not known, though since he left Fort Jesup, we are in receipt of late news from Shreveport, which renders it certain that our gallant Colonel and his cotamand will not have a chance to measure swords with the Tcxiaus, as they had already left the country. “We understand that Gen. Risk stated that he came with no hostile intention to*- wards the citizens of the Uuited States, but that the Caddo Indians, living within the United States, had crossed over into Texas and waged war upon its citizens, and that be came to disarm them. This, we understand lie did—as well as threat en Mr. Sewall, the Indian agent at Shre veport, for having furnished them with arms and ammunition. Gem Rusk, we further learn, had a talk with the Caddoes, made a treaty with them, and returned to Texas.” The. Coldstream Guards, a battalion of which regiment is now stationed in the Canadas, form one of the oldest and most distinguished military corps in the British service. This regiment’s somewhat singu lar appellation originated in the following manner;—When Cromwell was obliged to leave Scotland, in order to follow Charles 11. in his march into England, he delegat ed the task of completing the subjugation of the former country to General Monk.— Monk performed well the duty devolved on him, and for his reward was made military commander iu Scotland during the Protec torate. On the death of Cromwell, Monk, having first re-modelled the force under his command, marched to London, with the intention of restoring the Stuarts. 0n arriving at the “border,” Monk took up Ins bead quarters and formed a camp at the town of Coldstream, which commands a passage over the Tweed. At this place lie remained till his intrigues had caused the dispersion of the army with which Lambert had moved north to oppose him. He then resumed his march, which met with no other check, and accomplished his object, that of placing Charles 11. on the British throne, without firing hardly an angry shot. After the Restoration, one of Monk’s regiments Was made the first regiment of Guards, and it took to itself, as a distinguishing appellation, the name of the Coldstream Guards, in remem brance of the place at which it had been last encamped in Scotland. Since its formation, it has been often honorably distinguished in the many contests in which Britian has been engaged. It is, we believe, purely an English regiment. What a difference must there be, in every except a spirit oP-hdrfar, end discip line and bravery, between the gay and gal lant gentlemen who now compose tbs corps, and those first forming it who were a band of those stern spirits that turned the tide of battle at Naseby and Dun bar.—[Boston Post. American Locbmotive Engines.—We learn that the eleven locomotive engines for which Mr. Wra. Norris, Jrl has re ceived orders to furnish to the Gloucester and Birmingham, Eng. Rail road, will cost SSS,O(R). The United Slates Ga zette says that seven locomotives have been ordered of the same gentleman, for Austria. The Augsburg Gazette speaks In high terms of praise of the performance of one of Mr. Norris’s locomotives, ordered of him and forwarded to Germany.—Bt. Am. There is a modern built, four story i house, in Bowdoin street, Boston, that I has had a bill on it “tQ be let,” for four ior five years past. Some wag has writ ten on it the word “ Gibraltar”, and lot a long time the meaning was not'dieMt* ered —never to be taken. The earner lias steadily demanded for it an anduelrent of SISOO when it is probably not worth more thansoo.—[Newburynort Herald.
