It afterwards ap peared that the former had got “badly tuck in” in the trade, (or lie had “the tariff laid on him” in the shape of a horse blind in one eye. Here was a wrong fir which there must lie a remedy, and to learn what was this remedy, A. R., as a matter nf course seeks out a Justice of the Peace who would give him the “law knowledge.” The Squire of the Peace put on his spectacles, nnd with much gravity, proceeded to examine the “Geor gy Juslico.” nnd afterwards reported to A. U„ the plaintiff, that he could not find any law that would “exactly fit the case,” but he had no doubt there was plenty of law for it in “ Chittie’s Pleadons” which he would borrow from n lawyer, examine and give him an opinion. Before the next return day lie had satisfied himself from n perusal of “Chittie’s Pleudcns” that there was “ ’bundancc of law to fit the case,” and so informed the plaintiff. Ho then advised the plaintiff “ to fetch an action in debt” against C. D., the defen dant, lor the value of the horses’ eye, which he would always say was worth at least as high as a Justice Court could fetch suit for, to wit: thirty dollars principal, and there wan’t a lawyer io the country could change his opinion, and withal lie said be was jes the roan for these little upstart lawyers. They make a great fuss about “Black’s Commissa ries” und the “Slatits of Jeophilos,” and don't know the first principles of the Con stitution. The Constitution was good enough for any man; if it war*nt, then no man need have a case in Justices Coart. If the Constitution don’t lit the case ex actly, the “Georgia Justice” would be mighty apt to do it, and if these failed he knew “Chit tens Plcadens" would pin the haslcrt. If these little lawyers didn’t fob lew the law 'eordin to his notion he would •hot’em up in the beginning of the suit, for they slwnys go for law and lies, and it was Vmst his principles to go Jbr any thing but jestiee and Emupsitu.

According to the Washington corres pondent of tho Journal of Commerce, Red Eagle was a Creek and a half breed. His father was a Scotchman named Wem ofsight MO yc»rs, but the stem man- he went by name of Weatherford. Red I „ r ?’L.,„„_„ c.™.t Eagle at the battle of Fort Mimms, Icd' d - S,.' lccry f ? rccd °PPf ar,n the Indian army, and exhibited all the sanguinary ferocity of a madman, sparing none, and drenching his arms in blood wherever he went. From the dale of this liattle he commanded the'entire Creek army, and fought in all the battle fields of Alabama. The opening and closing scenes of battle were in strange contrast. The battle of the Horse-Shoe terminated the contest. Of twelve hun dred warriors not more than twenty escap ed, and nearly 600 were left d?2d on the field. This was an awful retaliation.— During the war, four thousand Indians were killed. It is a little surprising that though great inducements were offered by our army under command of General Jackson, for the capture of Red Eagle, he always contrived to csctqic detection; and when at last taken, he Imd voluntari ly and alone entered he camp of the com. mander to ask for peace. His speech on that occasion was one of the most elo quent io the history of oratory—no mat ter what nation we refer to. There is not a trope or metaphor in the whole of it —it is all one bold aud fervid burst of feeling, in which arc uppermost sentiments of the purest patriotism, nf noble inde pendence, ami a deep love of his people. “Once,” remarked Red Eagle, “I could animate my warriors to the battle. But I cannot nnimnle the dead. My warriors no longer hear my voice. Their bones are at Talladega, Tallalchce, Eih- ukfaw and Tohopcka ENGLISH MODE OF ANNEXATION.

Sotceliody has sent the editor of the London Times, a specimen of com bread. The Times-man examines it very criti cally, tastes of it, and then states that al though it is very sallow in its complexion, it is extremely light, and of good quality and flavor; and if not equal to the very best bread, infinitely superior to such “ manufactured from the damaged wheal of the late harvest.” Henceforth, wc hope that com bread will figure conspicu ously among the eatables nf the English people, endorsed as it is by the greatest papei of the kingdom. Heretofore, it has been the policy of the agriculturist of that country to represent Indian com as unfit for human food and only (o bo used in fattening bogs. The laboring classes be lieve it implicitly, and probably do yet; and while they are regaling themselves upon the luxuries of oat meal, they shed a tear sympathetically over the vciy thought of eating wholesome corn bread. Plenty to eat is one of the liberal princi ples of this country, and as our principles are prrwressive, we have, no doubt, that well filled capons will keep peace with other republican notions, and - that corn bread and equal rights will advance in England side by side.

Humanity sickens at the rc- ital of the conflict, where proud self- con fidence on the one hand, and desperation on the other, inspired tho battle. Napoleon arrived in person before the walls of Vienna, immediately planted his batteries, and in less than ten hours, three thousand flaming projectiles where thrown into the city.

There was nn average ol forty inhabitants to each house. One house wns occupied by four hundred ten- nuts, and yielded an annual rental of thir ty thousand dollars. Such was the city before which Napoleon plnntcd his terri ble batteries, ond upon which for ten hours lie rained down a shower of bomb shells at the rate of five a minute. It was not easy to imagine, and it is impossible to describe, the terrors of this night. Amid the rush und the uproar of contending ar mies. there was nn incessant explosion of artillery keeping up one continuous roar, louder than heaven’s loudest ihundcts. The midnight sky was streaked with the fiery glare of bomb shells, falling upon every part of the city, breaking through the roofs of the houses, exploding at the fireside, where terrified mothers and chil dren were gathered together, and even in the very cradle of the icfnnt, nnd bury ing mangled families in the ruins of their own dwellings. Conflagrations were bursting forth in every quartet. Dismay and death were everywhere. The shouts of the combatants, the shrieks of the terri fied, the groans of the dying, the mangled corpses sire wed over the slrcets and thro’ the dwellings, the explosions of artillery, the glare of bombs and red-hot balls, anil tho wasting conflagrations, conspired to create a scene which has had bat few parallels, even in this warring world. The young I’riocess Maria Louisa, the iubsequent bride of Napoleon, wns at that time sick in the imperial palace, and in capable of being removed to a place of safety. Tho palace was directly oppo site the French batteries. “It wns,” says Allison, “by the thunders ofarlillciy, and the flaming light of bombs across the sky that Napoleon’s first nddresscs to the Archduchess Maria Louisa were made.” Such were the characteristic billet damx with which the conqueror of Enrof e woo ed his bride. Napoleon being informed of the dangerous siiunliu;: or the noble captive, ordered the direction of the pieces to lie changed.' Thus, while destruction and death were rained down upon every part of the city, the future Empress of France reposed upon her sick bed, secur ed and anfiarmcd. Napoleon soon silenc ed all opposition, and taking possession, with his victorious troops, of the riddled and blazing city, sought repose from big own fatigue, in the magnificent chambers of the Austrian Emperor.. The emperor of Aturria; and tm'sppuse had foflld safe-. noxious to have the English (!) come and settle among them. Tilts testimony, par ticularly that of Harry, settles the fate of the people nnd country in question.— John’s Christian benevolence is all on fire. Bishops preach—tho hearts of praying women are opened, and some admiral is despatched to pick a quarrel with tho dis tant cannibals, for a ouarrcl is absolotely necessary to justify tuc first step in the process of annexation. A few months roll away, and suddenly il is announced ill rough the English press that Admiral Lord Carbuncle, commanding II. M, ship Warwhip, while on a cruise in Australia,- touched at the island of Tout! for wood and water; that while taking in those ar ticles a British snilor was murdered by a party of the natives; whereupon liis lord- ship demanded that .the murderers lie immediately given up, which demand not being complied with, tho town of Pekco was bombarded, and a landing effected, See., &c. Parliament immediately sane-' tions the whole proceeding, sends out a j few troops to keep possession of the Island and enters it on Tier records as ono ofher Australian appendages. To secure tho approbation of the world, and as if to cheat heaven into a belief of her good intentions, a missionary is despatched In' the new colony, nnd under a pretence of civilizing and christianizing the natives, a war of extermination is commenced, which only ends with the life of the Inst remaining aboriginal. This is John Bull’s mode of nnnncxation, and tho whole details may bo found by referring to the article already pointed out. — , , , We wish every peace orator, oil sympa thetic, universally licnevolcnl females, and the whole catalogue of believers in English philanthropy would read the nr- iticle. Il will show them that annexation is practised elsewhere besides in the Uni ted States. It will do more—it will con vince them, if any thing can do so, of the systematic hypocrisy of England in pretending, as a nationj to great piety, while she is annihilating whole nations on the opposite side of the globe, for no rea son or, earth, except there arc lands there’ in the peaceful possession of others which, in Iter rapacity, she wishes to make her own. But what is most humiliatiag is the fact that among us arc men ond state- men everlastingly shouting the praises or England, notwithstanding this same Eng land is cyery yeaf enroaching on the rights and territory of others, who only know her through her acts of oppression and bloodshed. If this were confined to be nevolent old ladies and one idea fanatics, if would hardly be worth notice; but when those who make our laws nnd give tone to public sentiment join in the mock ery and adulation, we feci humbled arid' degraded in the eyes of the rest of tho world. To our readers we say, peruse the article on N. Zealand in the last num ber of the Westminster Review.
