A New Gold Mink We learn with much plea
sure that a gentleman of this place has opened an
exceedingly rich gold mine, a specimen from which
has been exhibited to u*, rich with the precious

on the surface about five hundred yards, on let ot
laud No 15 of the 30th district and ‘id section of
this county, and in the Alatowa gold belt of Geor
gia. The Vein, near the center ot the lot, has been
opened by a shaft hi feet. The vein did not begin
to form until at the depth of ‘23 feet, where it was
one inch thick, Including slate, quartz and iron ore,
with some gold. At Hi- feet deeper the vein was
18 inches thick, and an increased quantity of gold.
At 15 feet. deeper still, the vein was three feet thick,
with slate quart/, and iron ore bearing gr id on the
quartz, (in the language of a friend who furn sLes

“Kansas Work” at the South —We were in
formed, some days ago, by a gentleman whose
statements are entitled to credit, that seventeen gin
bouses, with their conteuts, have been destroyed in
the course ol the last two weeks, in the county of
Talbot alone. The number repels all idea of acci
dent, and i specially when we recollect that incen
diarism was one ol the plans of “old Brown,” and
that particular region was speciaMy designated on
his map A further statement gives cor. fit mat ion
to this conclusion. A letter reached Milledgeville
a tew dL/o ago, announcing the belief that a squad
ot Brown’s emissaries were concealed in tkeueigh
botitood of INne Mountain, in Meriwether county,
and that an express had been sent to Talbot ton for a
force to scour that region and capture the mis
creants, ll possible
There is but little doubt that detachments of
Brown s gang have travel* and through and set on font
plans in nearly all the Southern states, but with
due watchfulness on the part of our people, we do
not think there is the slightest cause tor alarm A
tew bad characters may be seduced into such plots,
but we have no idea that sufficient 00-operation
could be obtained to inaugurate anything like a
serious movement. — Savannah Republican.

little damage by the fire and but few persons had
gathered, when some canioteis of powder exploded

the building, end breaking the sash and glass iu

shook of the explosion was felt with more or less
force all over the city The engines were on the spot
very sot natter the alarm was given—very foitu
na'ely alter ihe explosion, else the loss of life would
have been terrific. The fire was very quickly eub
dnsd. aud most of the damage susl allied by Ihe
building was in consequence of the explosion. It
is, however, very neatly a complete wreck The
bouse was owned by Marcus A. Bell, Krq. aud was
covered by au insurance of $ I,litid in .Etna lusur

Gibson as a Family Grocery, who was msured to
the amount of $1 ..Mio aud a small family, who es

The uiket deplorable circumstances connected
with this eveut is the death of Mr L- 8. Blake, who
was well known in ttie community as a worthy and
estimable man of the strictest integrity, and on
whom a sister and widowfd mother in Baltimore
mainly depended for a support. He was among
the first who reached the scene, aud is supposed to
have been immediately in front of the door at the
lime ol the explosion When that occurred he was
burned beneath the falling iron! iu the middle of
the street and was killed—probably instantaneously.
Many others were hurt -some very badly—hav

Tne origin of the tire w Inch led to the ealauvty,
Is not certainly known Various opinions are en

that it occurred through the instrumatility of rats,

on a visit to this city, that a man by the name ot j
Wayue has been arrested iu Buncombe county, N

who took him out of his bed. He says that he j
killed a man in Virginia, but it is supposed he was
connected in some way with the Harper s Kerry j
affair An intercepted letter contains evidence
sufficient to bring him to justice. It is said that
there is e reward of SSOO t ffered for him by the

Interesting Disclosures. —A short time since
we published a brief account of the arrest, at Cos
luinbue, Ohio, of a fugitive slave from Virginia,
named John Tyler, (o/iaiTobe Price,) the property
of Mrs. Elizabeth Griffin, of Campbell county,
Va , and who was successfully delivered to bis
owner, despite the various desperate attempts at
rescue. It appears that tbe same fellow took up
his quarters at Huntsville, Ala , last spring, regia
teriug his name as John Tyler, boarding at a bote)
and passing himself eff as a white man. The
Huntsville Independent says:
His complexion was quite light, and no one bus
peeled bur that he was a white man. Being a car
penUr, “Mr. Tyler” applied lor and obtained a
situation iu one of the shops here, and for several
months conducted himself very orderly and reepee
tably, mixing freely with the people. He took
great interest in the exciting Probate Judge eke
t ion last Spring, and bet pretty largely on the re-
Hult; lost, but, we are told, didn't pay. We are told
that he visited in several tamilies here, and other
wise conducted himself as a tree citizen. He play
ed his part well, and could doubtless have remained
here perfectly secure from detection, but John,
unfortunately, was not satisfied, and he resolved to
make safety doubly safe, by reaching the hospita
file shores of Canada, and in September last, bade
adieu to the scenes of his artful deception, aud left
for that asylum of freedom. But alas ! for negro
cunning, those wonderful detectives—advertise
merits and telegrams—played the mischief with
John's schemes He had progressed uninterrupted
oh tar as Columbus, Ohio, but there the stern hand
of his relentless pursuers, though mantully resisted
by John and a few negro friends, laid bold of him,
aud could not be shaken off, and he was returned
to Ills lawful owners.

Memphis—Business— Adams Express, Ac
The Memphis Enquirer of Tuesday, Bth inst., in

We are informed by some of our principal mer
chants that their business was never in a more
prosperous condition than at present —that they are
receiving orders from Arkansas. Louisiana. Ala
bama. Mississippi, Last and Middle Tennessee,
► actions of country with which they never traded
before—that they have a better class of customers,
requiring, of course, a better class of goods than
heretofore—- in short, that their business has ad
vanced fully twenty-five per ceut. over last season,
and is better than ever before known in the mer
cantile history of Memphis. The wholesale trade
is also increasing rapidly, aud everything points
with the certainty of prophecy to the future of
Memphis as a large and important wholesale point.
As one indication ot the increasing businees and
prosperity of our city (we might multiply instances
many times,) we point to the fact that the business
of Aaams Express Company in this city, under the

Thi Harper's Ferry Insi erection —Arrfst
or a Scspictid Follower or Ossawattoiiii
Brows—Great Excitement. —Some time since,
Gov. Hams received a letter from Gov. Wise, of
\ irginia. in regard to an individual Darned W. R
Palmer, who is suspected of being a follower and
co-conspirator of old Johu Brown, the moving
spitit in the late tragic afiair at Harper's Kerry.
Gov. Han is thought the matter of sufficient im
portance to demand an investigation, and to that
end dispatched to this city Col. John C. Korcb of
Chattanooga. He arrived here about the middle
of last week, and immediately instituted inquiries
in regard to the habits and former life ot Palmer
whioh resulted in strengthening the suspicions al
ready entertained as to his complicity with the in
surrectionists. Having become satisfied as to this
fact, Col. Burch determined upon his arrest, whioh
was accordingly effected at the Bedford House,
about tweiv e o’clock Monday night. Palmer came
to this city in July last, and has remained here ever
since. Eor two or three years previous to that
time he has lived, be says, within six-een or seven
teen milee of the city, and is known to many of our
citizens. Palmer, it is needless to conceal, has
teliow conspirators in vai one parts of the State,
w ho are known to the proper authorities, aud mea
sures for the prompt arrest of whom have already
been taken and it is to be hoped that. with their
leader and such others connected with the late af
fair as have been arrested, they will receive speedy
ustice. We are not at liberty to speak of the evi
dence which will be adduoed at the examination of
Palmer, which will take place to-morrow before
Esq. Home, but we are satisfied that if all of it
shsdi be admitted he will be proven guilty. All the
testimony in the case we promise to iay “before our
readers as soon as the nature of the circumstances
will admit of our doing so.
We yesterday visited Palmer in ptisou. He ie a
respectable looking man, apparently abont forty
years of age. five feet eight inches high, stoop

Late and Important from Brownrville, Texas
By the arrival at New Orleans ou 6unday last
of tbe steamer Arizona, from Braaoa Santiago, the
New Orleans papers have very important intelligence
from Brownsville to the let instant.—We copy
from the Brownsville Flag :
It appears that a force had been organized in
Brownsville for the purpose of attacking Corfanaa’
band , it wae composed of about sixty rai
and twenty Americans onjour side, and fifty of the
Matamoros infantry under Lieut. Col. Luranoa, the
force from our side being under tbe command of
Capt Thompson. They carried with them a r 3ur
pounder belonging to the Mexican force*, and a
four-pound howitzer be.ongicg to Capt. Kennedy.
They arrived at tne ranebe of Cortinae’ mother,
which they found in possession of about *wer.ty
men, who retreated after firing one or two vol
leys.
These proved to be the advance guard of tbe
banditti. After a few momenta ot deliberation, one
of two corraies (which are boreepeus built ot high
posts was selected for a camp, but through some
want of concert, a portion got into one and otber3
in another. It was then thought well to despatch
tbe horsemen on a scout around and through the
polrero and thence to the land, to secure the bo&ts
**o as to prevent tbe banditti from escaping to the
other side.
Subsequently a number of men on foot were eent
up the road to nod aod if possible to dislodge the
enemy. T l e little howlrzer went with them. They
soon came io where the road passes through a oeDse
obapparal, and they imprudently proceeded some
distance, when a heavy and general fire was open
ed from an enemy ODseen and undtacoverable.—
Finding tbe howitzer ueeless. they sent it back and
brought up th cannon, in the hope that a few round
►hot thrown into the woods might dislodge the
enemy. At the third fire it rebounded and fell
from the carriage. Col. Lurunoa was expecting
the mounted men, but they failed to come ; but
now some six or sev<*n mounted Americans came
up and re-tock tbe gun, yet were unable to re mount
it, nor could they persued any of the men ou foot
to come and assist, so they were forced to abandon
it. By this time the rout became general, the
mounted men uad mostly left, the majority of the
infantry followed, and at last, a few who had re
uuuoeG with the little howitzer at the corral, finding
themselves unaided and so few in number that
they were uuable to put the howitzer into tbe river,
or to destroy the ammunition, ae they desired, left
al-o. Antonio E*pino.-a and others, however, were
able to get it into the river afterward, but we learn
that Cortiuas has since got it oat.
There was miserably slight preparation made for
the enterprise ; few had percu-sion caps for more
than four or five charges , many of tbs cartridges
were found too large for the mueketP, and at tbe
c lose of the attack, when there was an attempt made
for a rally, there was not ammunition enough for a
single rouuc to each of the soldiers on foot. Some
supplies of ammunition had arrived duriug the tight,
but it had not yet been made known to Mr. Glav
ecke, who was charged with its distribution, and
he went io great haste towards the city for a re
supply. The infantry, who had fought most bravely
in the midst of an ambuscade, being out of ammu
nition. were compelled to retire.
Suffice It to aay that Cortinaa has won a victory,
is in possession of two very efficient pieces of artil
lery and all tbe ammunition belonging to them, of
a large keg ot rifle powder, aud some provisions
which were on the route when the fight took place.
It is said that he has two men at the least killed, if
not more, while on our side four of the Mexican
force were wouuded at their gun. but none killed.
One of the men from Brownsville, a Mexican, was
badly wounded.
Cortiuas had some two hundred aud fifty or three
hundred men.
Cortiuas will of course be able now greatly to
increase his band, having artillery and the prestige
of victory to aid him. Indeed, it is already known
that he received a considerable accession on the
very night of the route of our men. He has good
arms, and his men are under discipline and fight
with zeal.
i esterday he again Btopped the U. S. mail com
ing from Laredo, cut it open, examined each letter
in it,opening all but two, kept the mail rider until
to day, eno then sent him down with such of the
open letters and way bills as he did not care to
retain. The mail rider left him this day examining
the contents of the mail bag which left Browns
ville this morning. The man certainly shows great
skill as well as courage. How he maintains the
smallest force uamed to him is an enigma, and he
continues to keep his plans and hia operations &
secret.
On yesterday Mr. Jefferson Barthelow, who has
been sojourning for awhile in ban Francisco, Ta
maulipas, returned with his family seeking protec
tion. Some sixty felons, under sentence in the
prisons of Victoria, had been released by the popu
lace aud had levied their contributions on the rich
of that place. They have since recruited others,
nutil it is reported that they Lave a large band who
are visiting and robbing the ranchos, and who ex
pected, finally, to make their way out to Mataino
ras and Brownsville. Our neighbors over the v.ay
are beginning to dread a union between the bred
under Cortiuas with that Irom Victor.a and San
Fernando.
Who supports Cortinae, who arme his men w ; th
the best and most costly arms, what is his ultima e
mission, even what is his present force und hie
immediate designs, are all unknown to us.
We are now barricading our streets and prepar
ing for an attack upon the town, which we my ex
pect by night. For ten days past nearly every
man has remained ou the watch all or moat of the
night. We are well nigh worn out, but will
persevere, Loping tot - the arrival of the promised
Rangers It there are any friends of ours wiLhin
striking distance, we hope they will not fai to come
to our relief.
The mails left for Corpus Christi and Laredo in
th * morning, and a return mail should have come
iu from the former place on Thursday, and from tne
la!ter on Friday, but neither mail or riders have
come in. No doubt Cortinae has overtaken them.
It will be idle to send tbe mails hereafter unless
well guarded.
At daylight on Friday, one of the picket guard
on the outskirts ol the town, saw an armed man
skulking in the bushes, but their horses took fright
at the report aud fled. About dark one day Fir.
Campbell, a printer by trade, and deputy sheriff,
who has a family living at the suburb of Ramireno,
about a mile and a half above town, went up to see
them. He rode a good horse, and w F as armed with
a Sharpe’s rifle and a six shooter. A Mexican went
up with him, also mounted on a good horse. They
had hardly got into their house when ten heavily
armed bandits surrounded them, took Mr. Campbell
prisoner, took his horse and arms, also robbed the
Mexican of his horse, saddle and bridfe, made pris
oners also of four well disposed Mexicans, living at
Hatnireno, and took them all off, except the one who
accompanied Mr. Campbell, towards the camp of
Cortinaa. The tamilies of the prisoners are iu the
greatest distress.
In Addition to the above, the Purser of the Ari
zona furnishes tbe following report:
Ou the 30th ult., a party, supposed to consist of
about thirty men, came into the graveyard iu the
immediate centre of the city, and fired some thirty
shots from small arms, which did no damage They
were answered by a discharge of canister from a
field piece, but with what effect is not known, for
on searching the place in the morning no bodies
were found, the kfiled and wounded (if any) having
been probably carried oft'. Several ranchos had
oeen broken into, any money and arms demanded
under penalty of death, and where any of them
were found they were taken. The raucho of Neale
had been broken into and everything destroyed,
aud the house would have probably been burned
had it not been brick. Mr. Neale aud hia family
had escaped into Matamoras.
The mails and passengers of the down trip of the
Arizona started via Point Isabel, but learning that
thirty men were on the road to intercept them, the
passengers went up ou the steamer Grampus, aud
ihe mails were set on the Mexican side via Mata
moras to Brownsville. The return mail from New
Orleans came down the same way.
Several expressmen who were sent to and fro on
the American side were taken prisoners. All the
cattle and horses iu tue vicinity of Brownsville
were seized, and the people of Brownsville were
depending on Matamoras tor fresh provisions.
Parties of men who came into Cortinas, who
vere supposed to be from Victoria, were nearly
nude, but on arrival at his camp they were fur
nished with clothes aud arms. A universal panic
prevail*, and the citizens of Brownsville were
hourly expecting an attack.
There was a rumor that Point Isabel and Brazos
were to be attacked, at which latter place there are
many pieces of artillery and some small brass
pieces ea a y of transportation, and Cortinas has
►tated that if he succeeded in taking Brownsville
he would carry tbe wai into Central Texas as far as
the Nueces. Many of the ranchos near the river
are surrounded by Indians who are supposed to be
interested with him. The people of Brownsville
send an appeal to the citizens of New Orleans for
help. As they receive no news of the troops and
rangers expected, and as the roads are bad, there is
no certainty of the time of their arrival. They
hope, however, to be able to protect the city uutil
aid shall arrive from New Orleans, even if
not strong enough to punish the murderers. The
prisoner spoken of eg taken last trip, had not been
hung, but was arill held in durance.
At a meeting of the citizens ot Brownsville, it
was resolved that the Chairman of the meeting be
authorized to invite assistance from New Orleans ,
that one hundred well armed men would be suffi
cient, in oo operation with our present forces, for
the present protection of the town until the troops
trom the interior of Texas shall arrive.
A man in Paris has been detected in some exten
sive frauds, the discovery of which has caused the
greatest consternation amongst the silversmiths and
jewelers of the city. Duriug the last six months he
has been pawning at every bureau of the Mont ue

bearing the legal stamp, and marked with the legal j

ever, they were found to be composed of regulus of

worth 14)001., aud pledged to that amount, are valued
at exactly two franc* five cents. Tbe whole opera

being admitted to the secret ; he has managed to

The London Builder states that Mr. Thomas
Spencer, the discoverer of the electrotye, has made
another import ant disco very. He has ascertained
that the magnetic oxide of iron which abounds in
rocky strata, sande. &c., attracts oxygen whether
it exists in water or in air, aDd polarises it, wh oh
forms an ozone, whioh destroys all discoloring and
polluting organic solutions in water, and converts
them into the sparkling and refreshing carbonic
acid of the healthful spriDg. Even sewerage wa
ter can be thus almost instantaneously purified.
Moreover Mr. Spencer has discovered that the ap
parently mechanical process of filtration, is itself
maguetieal, and it being known that all substances
are constitutionally more or less subject to magneti
eal influences, all extraneous matter suspended tn
water maybe rapidly attracted in filtration either
by magnetic oxide or black sand of iron, and so

Messrs. A. H Jones and H. M. C. Brown, who
have been engaged as United States surveyors for
the last twenty years, have recently completed the
survey of the boundary lines of the Choctaw and
Chickasaw country, from the eighth to the one hua
dreth meridian, extending trom Red River to the
Canadian River, in a manner entirely satisfactory
to the Government. In 1855 a treaty was made
with the Choctaws and Cbickasaws, by which the
former were to receive $690,000, aud the latter
$200,000 in consideration of a perpetual lease of
territory from them on which to locate the Wieki

Trial of Captain John Cook.
Charlestown, Nov. 9,1853. —The case of Capt
Cook was continued in our Circuit Court to-day,
and drew together a very l~rge crowd. The ex
citement in regard to this case exceeds that of
any of the cases tried, and Lae result looked for
with the greatest interest.
Ihe Confession of Capt. Cook.— Tbe confession
of Cook, which was read yesterday afternoon,
caused much excitement, aud some of the com
ments on it were of the most unfavorable charac
ter, whilst some others were deposed to view it in
a more favorable light, and the extreme youthful
appearance cf the prisoner at the bar, was general
ly taken into consideration.
Cook states in the confession that he met Capt.
Brown in Kansas same two years ago, and was
led by the representations of Brown tc join bis
band not knowing at the time what would be the
field of their operations. After some time had
elapsed Brown informed him that the town ot
Harper’s Ferry was the place he contemplated
makiog bis stand at, and that he wished him Cook;
to proceed there and try and ascertain whether or
not tbe man Forbes had divulged the plan to any
one at Harper s Ferry, as a ramor had reached him
to that effect Cook strongly objected to any each
move as contemplated, but was replied to by
Brown that he Lad taken tbe oath to stand by him
and that he must not now desert him. Cook there
fore started for tbe Ferry, and took up his resi
dence. After having been there some time, he was
introduced into society, which resulted in bis court
ing and marrying a Miss Kennedy, of South Bo
livor. He then determined by all possible means to
change the determinsticn of Old Browh, but all his
arguments and entreaties failed when brought to
bear against the iron-will af the Kansas outlaw.
The more important portions were those which
told of the Convention held in Canada, at which the
well-known Constitution was framed, of the
military training under Stevens which Brown’s
party weutthrough, altering their original intention,
which was to be instructed by Col. Forbes; and of
his own exploration of Jefi'srsou county, Va., under
Brown’s directions, to prepare the way for the
insurrection.
Gerrit Smith, Fred. Douglass. Dr. S. G Howe,
aud others, were mentioned in the confeesion, but
not in a way to deepiy implicate them. Their
connection with Brown invo.ved, however, the
presentation of pistois, money, &c. Cook said
that tbe time of the invasion would have been
different, but for the information given by Col.
Forbes.
Before tbe ca3e of Cook was taken up this
morniDg, Geo. Beonott, Esq., the counsel of Cope
laud, appeared and read a number of bills of
exception, which he desited the Court to take into
consideration, although he felt sure from the former
action of the Court that it was of but little avail.
His duty to the prisoner, however, demanded that
he should go through all tbe forms, even if tbe
substance of justice wad denied. Ooe of the bills
created considerable merriment during its reading,
it being filled with denunciations of the verdict
rendered. The adjectives were put on in profusion,
anti tbe effect was to briDg the counsel reading
them into a position of ridicule.
The Case of Cook— After the proceedings in
the case of Copeland had been gone through with,
the case of John E. Cook was called, and the
prisoner brought in and placed at the bar. He was
accompanied by Gov. Williard and Mr. Crowly,
and looked quite cheerful, being evidently buoyed
up wfith the hope of a favorable result from tbe
verdict of the jury empaonelled. Mrs. Kennedy,
his mother in-law, also entered the court room at
the same time, and took a seat outside of the bar.
She seemed in great distress of mind, and wept
considerably during the taking of the testimony
Young Kennedy, brother of Cook h wife, was also
present, giving close attention to the proceedings.
The attendance ol strangers from the adjoining
counties was much larger than on any former oc
casion, and the proceedings were of much interest.
A large number of witnesses were examined, but
the testimony of the large majority of them ha*
been heretofore published.
Case given to the Jury. —The case was then
given to the jury, at 8 o’clock, and they retired to
their room. DuriDg their absence the surmises
were various as to what would be result of their
verdict. Borne argued that the prisoner would be
found guilty and recommenced to mercy, whilst
others argued that as the charge of treason had
been abandoned, the jury would not recommend
aim to mercy, as the Governor could commute the
sentence to imprisonment for a number of years
without the recommendation. At 9 o’clock it was
announced that tbe jury had agreed on their ver
dict, and they were brought in and seated. The
most breathless silence now prevailed, and the
clerk proceeded to call the jury, all answering to
their names. The Clerk then said, “Gentlemen of •
the jury, look upon theprisoner : Is he guilty of the
offences with which lie stands charged, or. is be
not ? What say you 7” The foreman replied “guil
ty.” The verdict was then read, which is as fol
lows :
“We, the jury, find the prisoner John E. Cook,
not guilry of treason, as charged in the first count,
but guilty of murder aod conspiriug with slaves to
rebel, as charged iu the second and third counts.
Charles T. Butler, Foreman.”
Mr. Vorhees then stated that he had a motion to
make, but would defer it uutil to-morrow, if agree
able to the Court. The Court stated that he would
bear tbe motion to morrow'.
The verdict is in accordance with tho public sen
tiraent, although a strong feeling < f sympathy has
been enlisted in the prisoner’s behalf during the
last few days. It is cow supposed that stiong
efforts will be made by the influent in! friends of
Cook to have him pardoned by Gov. Wise, or hia
puuishment commuted to imprisonment for a uum
fctr ot years.
The term of the Circuit Court expired to night,
but the Judge announced that he would set to
morrow to hear the motion on behalf of tho prisone r.
Sentence, it is supposed, will be passed in the
morning on the priaoneis now convicted.
The prisoner Stevens has been hauded over to the
United States authorities for trial by treason. He
will be tried by tbe United States Circuit Court for
Virginia, and the decision there will be final, the
law providing for ne appeal in criminal cases, tried
in the Federal Courts, even where life is concerned.
The Court yesterday sentenced Coppie and Cook,
and the negroes Copeland and Green to be hung
on tne lGtb of December. It is rupposed that
Governor Wise will reprieve Brown, previously
sentenced to be hung ou the 2d proximo, and that
the execution of all the ooudemued, will take place
on the Ifiih.

Indian Mnaancre on llie PlnlnN—Tlic Attack
upon and Murder ol (he Howard Enri-
K ranis.
Mrs. Francis A. Digges, of this county, furnishes
the “Banner” with the following letter from Mrs.
Bettie Shepherd, (her daughter,) who was one of
the party of the Howard emigrants that eufleredeo
terribly from an attack by the Indians between
this aud California. The eutire party was from
Howard, and well known. Mrs. Shepherd's letter
will be read with interest:
lone City, Sept. 12,1859.
After along and tedious journey, we arrived in
lone City the lth of September, 1 o’clock at night.
On the 26th of July, between 8 and 9 o’clock at
night we arrived at Cold Spring. When we arrived
a traiu was encamped there, we were informed
by them that the Indians had made an attack upoD
thorn, killing one man and wounding another, and
carried off a good many cattle. Next morning, (the
27th of July,) we arose early aud prepared to start.
After we bad gone about two miles, some of
our men looked back aud saw that the Indi ms had
attacked the traiu again, wounding oue mau, and
taking off some more cattle, we then wanted to
go back and assist them, but our Captain said he
thought it best go on ; we went a tew miles further
and .entered tho canon , we travelled up the can
on a few miles, when one of Wm. Shepherd’s
horses was lake a sick and fell; we stopped a few
minutes; the men were standing looking af. the
horse, wheu we were suddenly fired upon; killing
our Captain, Ferguson Shepherd.
Tbe war whoop was then given, followed by
shots from each side of the rocky, busby canuoD, kill
ing Wm. Shepherd, Wm. Diggs, Ciaiboru Rain,
aud wounding two men, oue woman and ohtld.
Mr. \V.fight was mortally wounded—he lived nine
days I. M. Smith slightly wounded through the
shoulder; Mrs. Wright was wouuded, but not
fatally; her baby’s thigh was broken by being
whirled against a rock by a savage monster. After
the six men and oue woman were shot, George
Avery and James Ward fled, saying that they
Would be killed if they remained there another
moment. In a few moments Geo. Parson and Mc-
Guire left ; the ludians were still firing upon us; I
standing in the road with my arms, exposed to the
bn’.lets that came whirling around me.
I looked wound and I saw Mr. Shepherd; I
called for him, I told him I thought we had better
try ani make our escape ; he said well. We start
ed; myself, I. M. Smith, Mrs. Annie Shepherd and
Mrs. Wright’s little eon; Mrs. Annie Shepherd’s
little babe was also with us The next that follow
ed was Mr. Shepherd. The Indians shot at us a
good many times as we were going off After we
had gone a very short distanoe, Mrs. Annie Shep
herd, being a very delicate woman, became weak
and could proceed no further, so she secreted her
self in some bushe6 by tbe way side ; I M. Smith,
one of the wounded men, had her babe; but he
became so weak iiom tbe loss of blood, that he was
compelled to hide in brush. We then jour
neyed on. After we had gone 2| miles, Townsend
Wright overtook us, riding one of our mules; he
said he was iu tbe wagon attending to tbe wounded
brother, and he cut the mule from the wagon and
made hia escape. When he reached us/1 was al
most exhausted. I walked between ten and twelve
miles bare necked, and carried my baby part of the
way. However, we reached camp about four
o’clock, quite exhausted
About night, Mrs. Annie Shepherd came in camp.
She was almost, like au insane woman. When she
came in sight she was fired upon for an Indian ;
but soon she was recognized to be a white woman ;
her baby laid out all night, five of the men west
back, but did not get to the place of slaughter.
Tnev reported that they saw a good many Indiana,
aid did not think it right to procoed any further,
Naxt morning we started on our journey again.
There were about 454) wagons and 250 men ; we sent
a guard oo each side of the canon ; one before and
one behind the wagons. We travelled on without
being disturbed ; we arrived at the place where the
massacre was committed near noon. Mr. Wlight,
Mrs. Wright, her son Joe, and her babe were found
to be still living.
Capt. ti. Pierce had a wagon prepaied f>r the
dead, in which they were placed, and the wounded
properly cared for. Oar wagons were plundered
of everything we had, except my trunk, which con
tained our money. 4Jur stock was taken, which
numbered about 34 head. Mrs. Auuie Shepherd’s
babe was also found; it was very much sunburnt
and bruised by the bush. We traveled on until
near night, bat did not get through the canon. We
stopped to bury the dead. The wounded were well
attended to. Dr. A. W. Trader attended to tbe
woundpd. The fight lasted about three-fourths of
an hour. Our men fought bravely, but tkeir balls
fell harmless among the rooks and brush. There
were about fifty Indians.
Sandy Cotton. —We make the following extract
from a letter received from Talbot co.:
“The cotton orops not so lull after all; many
planters here avow they can’t make so much as last
year. How ie it you do not take up the cudgel
about Sandy Cotton’e 1 It is a great falsehood in
forty nine out of fifty instances , less now, owing
to improved machines, than for yeai s past. Sand
gravitates quickly, cottoD lint fioats and fall slowly,
so they are but liitle mixed. Dust, after some
stormy seasons, is quite another thing. Sand, to
increase the weight, except in large quantities by
design, is a trick of the trade, a humbug; and when
thus found the packer should be exposed and pun
ished. A taw is needed, reqainng the producer’s
name to be recorded and then the fraud, if any,
oouid be detected.’’
We are glad U see our planters waking up to the
importance of the “SaDdv Cotton” question. It is
doubtless caused by carelessness to a great extent,
if not entirely, in Georgia, lathe west, the pro
ducer is lost eight of so soon from the immense
business, that detection is more difficult, if not im
possible. Applicable to these remarks is an ex
tract which was written from Liverpool to a promi
nent merchant in tine city:
“Our Savannah system of examining samples of
mixed lots of cotton in basket or on floors deceives.
The sand sifts out unperceived, and by the time the
samples have been turned over twice or thrice, no
one could imagine he was treating for sandy cotton.
“An absurd idea has been taken np in Manches
ter, that the sand is artificaliy pat into the cotton.
It eo, why is it not put into clean qualitiee 7 I
oortessed to carelessness for the planters, but re
pelled the idea of fraud. Can yon not recommend
your planting friends to whip ail the cotton
brought in out of their fields after the Ist Novem
ber 1 A scaffold of cane reeds as a bed for this
purpose, would allow the sand to escape easily.
“Until something of this sort is done, ordinary
ootton will only be sold at an enormous disadvan
tage lo the planter after the Liverpool experience
of this season." —Savannah Republican.

Jackson. President of the Massachusetts Anti-

; Grastley Berkley’s Buffalo Hunt—A
Westport correspondent of the St. Louis Repub
lican writes, October 31:
“Grantley Berkley eet ont from here on the 25th
of September (Sunday) for a big buffalo buDt on
the great plains- The sportiDg world will probably
be gratified to learn that he and hia party have got
safely back, after a pleasant and successful eport of
a little over one month. They arrived in the “set
tlements” on the 29th inst., and the party divided—
the noblemen and a portion of his suite goiog on to
St. Joseph, and the guide and generalissimo of the
excursion, John Cantrell, aud the balance of tbe
party, coming on to Westport I learn from one
of tbe company that the hunt turned out very well,
and to the perfect eatisfac ion of “My Lord,” who
thinks himself amply repaid for all his trouble and
expenditures. They started out on tbe Santa Fe
route until they heard of the Indian depredations,
when, by advice of Cantrell, they changed their
course further north. They proceeded to Fort
Riley, where they were joined by two officers of
the army, and thu? recruited, made for the region
of Smoky Hill Folk (some 250 miles from the Mis
souri river,) where they were gratified with tbe
eight of buffalo in abundance. During the first
day’s hunt our high-born Englishman made a dead
Jaiiure —he had the “buck ague’ to an alarming
extent, and missed lire every time, but he daily
improved, aud soon showed himself a good hunter
ana fair sportsman —for a foreigner. They killed
twenty nine nob’.e buffalo, the tkins and toagu?s of
which will be carried across the waters as trophies ;
and a lew choice steaks carefully packed up to
grace a Loudon Club dinner about Christmas time.
They aleo killed a variety of smaller game, at
which “My Lord ’ seemed more at home When
it came to feathered game, birds on the wing, &c.,
he surpassed every one else. His fondness for sport
is on y equalled by bta energy and endurance.
Cantrell says that the old Eugiienman can hunt, on
foot or on horseback, without eating er drinking.
The Foreign Mails.— The Paris correspondent
of the New York Times writes :
A letter was lately sent from this city to New
York aud a reply received back at Paris iu three
weeks four days aEd nine hours. The Vanderbilt
out and the Persia back were the mediums of
transmission. In this connection is the place to
state ttat no change has tbkeu place in the length
of time between the arrival of the New York mail
at Liverpool and its delivery at Paris. The mer
chants and ether business men here have a right
to complain that the Department at Washington
takes no steps to remedy this evil. But four times
since tbe Cunard line came into existence has the
mail arrived in Paris ou Tuesday morning, and
these tour times they were brought into Liverpool
by the Persia early on Satuiday morning. No mat
ter whether the mail arrives iu Liverpool on Satur
day or Sunday, it never leaves London for Paris
till 8 o'clock Monday eveniug. A traveler can
come from Liverpool to London in five hours, aud
from London to Paris in twelve ; but it still takes
the American mail from 60 to 7 U hours to get over
the same road.
Trade with Japan. —Tbe Netherland govern
ment has published a very interesting efficialreport
of the trade carried ou in the port of Nangasaki,
Japan, from the 10th oi October, 1857, to the 4th of
July, 1859, and the statistics give a flattering idea
of the commercial prospects which de before the
civilized nations when Japan and China are fully
opened. During the period referred to one hun
dred and forty nine vessels arrived at Nangasaki,
and all foreigners were freely admitted by the au
thorities ; the flag of the ship ouly being scrutiniz
ed. So brisk was the trade that t h e authorities
were nearly overwnelmed ; but still they endeavor
ed to meet it iu a liberal spirit, with the exception
of the Commercial Corporation, a sort of native
Chamber of Commerce, the members of which
have enjoyed a monopoly. Warehouse accommo
dation was very much required. The Japanese
junks coming into port were increased in number.
Within two years Japan will furnish a good supply
of raw silk, but at present her exports are not well
suited for European or American markets. Coal is
sent to China, with fair nod steady supply. A
police has been organised io Nangasaki, and
toreigners were well treated. Vessels were repaired
there satisfactorily and cheaper than in Sbanghae.
Invention in Telegraphing. —We have seen
the model of a newly designed maohine for tele
graphing, which is represented by its inventor to
be ahead of any now iu use. Instead of having
messages sent from the manuscript, either by the
House printing plan or by the Morse characters,
he proposes to have the messages first set up in a
peculiar faced character of type, to be lean ed by
the operator. The type thus setup is placed in a
receiver, and by means of a wheel, a cylinder, and
a stile or pen, the characters are transferred to
paper in regular sheets iu lines. The inventor,
Mr. Bradley, of California, claims that, by moaus
of this instrument, a speed of from eight to twelve
thousand words au hour can he attained. We
should like to see it done. —New York Herald, 26 th
Oct.
The Man who Fought their Battles —Here
is a sample of the appeals of the leading Black
Republican papers in behalf of “the gallant Brown.”
It is from the Hartford Courant, of March 21, 1857 :
Captain John Brown, of Ossaw'atomie, Kansas’
just the man to inspire the Free State men and
play the game of bluff against the sebts of tbe slave
owners iu Kansas, desires tome material aid to
kepp his arms stayed up whilst he fights the battles
of freedom against the Border Ruffians. Ho says
be “will eueeavor to make a judicious aud faithful ap
plication of such means as he may be eupplied with.”
W. H. D. Callender, Cashier of the Slate Bank,
Hartford, Conn , will take care of all moneys lodged
for Capt. Brown’s benefit, aud see they are receiv
ed by him. Brown's just ihe mau we need in Kan
sas ; and if every man who loves freedom and can
spare a dollar or two, would put it in Brown’s purse,
we will warrant they get their moneys worth out of
Brown hereafter. Lei us back up the men who are
fighting our battles.
The Harper’s Ferry Insurrectionists.—
Shields Green, alias Emperor, oue of the negro
conspirators, has been found guilty of conspiracy
with slaves and murder, the prosecution abandoning
the count charging treason. During the trial Mr.
Sennott, counsel for Green, raised the point that the
abandonment of oue count vitiated the whole in
dictment ; the Court gave r:o decision, and the esse
will propabiy be taktu on this ground to the Court
of Appeals. The case of the negro Copeland was
commenced on Saturday. There are three pi iaoners
yet to try, Stevens, who is still in a dangerous oon
dition from his wounds, Cook, and Wm. Harrison,
arrested at Carlise, who was on Saturday taken to
Charlestown on a requisition from Gov. Wise
Balt. Amer.
Shoeing Tested.— The Dublin Medical Press
asserts that the pupils of the Polytechnic Sohool in
Paris, have recently famished some curious statis
tics bearing on tobaco ). Dividing the young gentle
men ot that college into two groups—the smokers
and the non smokers—it shows that the smokers
have proved themselves, in the various competi
tive examinations, far inferior to the others. Not
only in the examinations on entering the school are
smokers in the lower rank, but in the various ordeals
that they have to pass through in a year, the aver
age rank of the smokers had constantly fallen, and
inoonbiderably, while the men who did not smoke
were found to enjoy a cerebral atmosphere of tbe
clearest kind.
Threatening Vengeance— lt appears that a
band of abolitionists of Boston, inceused at the
conduct of Messrs. Logan and Fitzhugh, the gentle
men who arrested “Capt.” Cook, near Chambers
burg, have determined to come on this way and ad
minister upon them proper punishment for their
“infamous aud inhuman treachery.” They have
addressed letters to the authorities at Chambers
burg to that effect, aud in eue of them make the
bold assertion that “this baud of desperadoes w ill
leave here (Boston) in a few days, with a determi
nation never again to turn their faces northward,
or retrace their steps, uutil the basß treachery and
distardly crime of Logan aud his more infamous
associate are wiped out with their blood.” We
would advise them to make their wills, as we have
no abolitionists in our community to >rive them
“aid and comfort.” —Harrisburg Patriot .
The Hog Market.—We again advert to this
eutiject, which is au important item to manyot our
people. Oue of our most reliable citizene who has
recently returned from East Tennessee, where he
has Bpent the last several months, requests us to
siate, that at no time within the past five years has
the hog crop been no abundant in that section.
Large numbers are being collected, and are intend
ed, he believes, for this market. He thinks that
our friend, who gave us information several weeks
since, quite to the contrary, wa.- deceived by per
sons whose interest it i3 to create the impression
that hogs are scarce ; and further, that our citizens
should place no reliance on what drovers may
affirm about the scarcity, as there are hundreds
aud thousands of the genus hog to make their ap
pearance here during the winter. Wo dismiss the
porcine subject fer the present, in tbe hope that the
tears of all are vanished by this kime about paying
high prices for “a streak of lean aud a streak oi
fat !”—Anderson Gazette.

The South and Douglas—Mr. Stiles’ Speech
at the Capital —The most notable extra-legisla
tive event at the capital, since the commencement
of the session, was the epeeeh of the Hon. Wm. H.
Stiles, Thursday night last. In answer to an invita
tion from a number ot the members, he addressed
them on the present aspect of political affairs. He
maintained that on the only question now agitating
the public mind, there should be no difference of
opinion or eentiment at the south—it involved our
rights, and all southern men should he willing to
maintain them. They were assailed, the speaker
said, from two quarters, first by the Black Repub
lican party, and secondly, under the gaise of De
mocracy, by Mr. Douglas and his followers. Each
wing of this hostile army, he thought, was equally
to be detested and opposed by the true men of the
south, though he regarded the latter as the more
dangerous, as it sailed under a false flag and was
likely to deceive. He discussed fully the Harper’s
Magazine article, and answered, we think trium
phantly, all its leading propositions. Senator
Toombs came in for a scathing rebuke, which we
regarded as just as it was severe. The thunderß
of applause indicated an unmistakable public sym
pathy with the speaker in this particular regard
When be announced, “Never—no never ”, to the
question, if Georgia would support Douglas if nomi
nated by the Charleston Convention, the old hall
rung for some moments with the prolonged mani
festations of approval.
We regard both the doctrines and the animad
versions of the speech as just and most opportune
and shall take occasion to spread it before onr
readers, revised by Mr. Stiles himself, in tee course
of a few days. W 7 e therefore decline any further
comment on its positions. —Savannah Jiepubhcan.
A Daring Outrage.—At half past S o’clock on

OBITUARY.
Departed this life in the county of Talladega, Ala.,
Oct. 5, 1859, Mrs. ELIZABETH C B KEITH, consort
of John Keith, and daughter of Col. F. A. and Mrs.
Frances J. Butt, formerly of Columbia county, Ga.,
whe e the deceased was born January 14, 1829, aged 30
ytars, 8 months and 1 and y.
Death, under all circumstances, strikes the human
mind with terr r, but when this “ grim monster ’ selects
for hi. mark, one in the ver} meridian of life, surromded
by many children, to whom they had been entrusted by
the wisdom of Heaven to be reared and nurtured, as
alone a mother can nurture and rear them, we are led to
exclaim how inscrutable are thy ways and past finding
out, O God I
We have known the deceased long and intimately,
aDd can truly tfcßtify to her many noble aud endearing
traits of character—qualities that won for ber the re
spect and admiration of her many iriends and relations,
in whose recollection her msmory will remain green a*
long as the “vital spark remains.” She connected her
self with the M. E. Church iu early life, and died with
the implicit belief that she had made a covenant with
her Redeemer; that her death was but a transit to the
heavenly world. Her death bed scene was soul-sirring
In the extreme —one that will never grow dim, whilst
memory holds her dominie n ; she cahed upon her de
voted husband and weeping children “to meet her in
heaven and atter giving each a dying charge, and an
affectionate farewell, fell asleep in Jesus—the friend
that had sustained in life, that had promised not to for
sake her In the 4 dark valley and shadow of death,’ and
that would safely lead her spirit, “freed from this mor
tal coil,” to tne ** haven of reluge and rest.’*
