HEARTRENDING ACCIDENT.
A friend of ours of Heard county, fur
nishes us with the following particulars of
the death of a young man of that county :
Fkankun, Ga-, Feb. 6, 1844.
Mr. Editor: A most dreadful circum
stance happened in this county on the mor
ning of the 3d inst. It appears that a
young man by the name of Pinckney Hill,
had gone some two or three hours before
day on a hunting excursion, and noi having
returned by the next evening, his friends
became alarmed and collected a considera
ble force to make a search for him. After
a most diligent search, they found his body
under the following circumstances: A large
poplar tree, some two feet in diameter, had
been felled, under which was found one of
the legs of the unfortunate young man. It
appeared as though ihe tree, in failing, had
come in contact with another tree which
sloped or bent in an angle from theone that
was cut, which caused the one that, was
felled to rebound in the opposite direction,
and by this means caught the young mau
under it. The leg, when found, had the
appearance of having had the bones entire
ly mashed asunder, and to have had the
flesh cut by some sharp instrument. The
party continued their search for the body ;
and about eighty yards from the place above
named, found it. A large knife was found
in one of his pockets, upon which was a
quantity of hlooJ—leaving no doubt in the
minds of those who saw him, hot what he
had himself taken the knife from his pock
et) nt the skinJtliat-l*cltl-l)i4 leg-

der the tree. He then, no doubt, pulled him
self bv the hushes and underwood to the
place where he was found: although a marsh
intervened between the two places, no trace
of his passage through it could be found.
It is painful to contemplate the sufferings
of this unfortunate youth. Alone, some
two miles from anv human habitation, to
have received so dreadful a wound, yet not
to be deprived of reason, (as he evidently
must not have been, from the fact of his
having used hisknife in the manner above
stated,) to have been reduced to the ne
cessity of culling off his own leg, and then
starting in the direction of home, but soon
bleeding to death, the anguish he must have
endured, is most heartrending indeed.
Mr. Hill was a young man of about 19
years of age, of good moral character, in
dustrious and steady habits. He lefi home
at the time before stated, in good health and
bouyant spirits; but. alas, how soon was he
called from hence to another world, and
under what painful circumstances did he
leave his friends. I hope this may be a
caution tolho-e who may engage in similar
sports, tc he careful how they fell timber in

Colton.—The market for the past week
lias been active, and ready sales have been
made nt improved prices. The roads have ;
partially recovered from the wretched slate j
into which they were thrown by tne late
unparalleled rains, and planters can now
safely eoine to market, consequently the
receipts hsve increased, and our streets
present their usual business like appear
ance. We quote 8 to 9J cts. A few bales
were sold yesterday at 9§.
MoEilf,, Feb. 2.
At the date of our last weekly report, the
market was characterized with only a mod
erate degree of activity, but at the same
time holders maintain* d considerable firm
ness in their pretensions, and the bulk of
the opeiaiion3, as previously, for the most
patl for our Northern Markets. Since then
our market has been kept in an extremely
unsettled state throughout ; first by the ar
rival of advices per ship Sea—of still later
advices per Britannia, to the 4th inst.—
These accounts have had the effect of cau
sing holders to claim a tarther advance in
most instances, and the generality of the
European orders yet being limited greatly
below present prices, necessarily the enqui
ry has been extremely light. The opera
tions of the week comprise only 6100 bales,
and were effected as follows: Saturday
1000, Monday 1200, Tuesday 700, Wed
nesday 2000. Thutsday 600, and to-day
600, and as far as we have been enabled to
ascertain, at prices corresponding generally
with our quotations of Friday last. The
enquiry has generally embraced all quali
ties, and as heretofore, has been almost ex
clusively for our Northern markets ; the
European orders yet being precluded by the
advanced prices (on low limits at which
they are required to be executed.) Owing
to the limited extent of the transaclionsand
the extremely unsettled state ol the mar
ket we feel constrained to defer giving
quotations, but as far as the operations have
transpired, we remark that they are mate
rially the same as last week.

THE INTERPRETER, \
A Semi-monthly Journal, devoted to thi

LANGUAGES.
U NDER the above title, we propose to
on the 20th of the present inomli.the 1st
of a semi-monthly periodical; and as the pat
have a right, whenever a r.cw work is at em
ed lo be brought to their notice, to demand t
the necessity or utility uf such a work lie fal
shown, we would slate that,
The necessity for such a tank arise* out of
fact lhal there aie hundred* of thousand* in
country who profess to he pursuing the *t id
of which we propose to treat, each one ol o lofni
needs advice, direction and assistance in ihe pgr-
suit of them. Does lie wish to know ihe tjf-
fererce between the construction of his ot|ti
language and lhat ol either of those aUove-nn i-
ed, he can, it is true, find many valuable works
in the libraries and at the hook-etotes, lhat will
aid him in acquiring this information. lie may
also send for the native teacher, ill tome in
stances, aud receive insliuclum from his lips.—

and in many cases it i* entirely Inaccessible —
Hers then is a necessity,—a pressing nersssity
for such a work,—a necessity created by a large
and daily increasing class of pet,on*. and for
which no adequate supply,—no supply wil.al-
ever of the kind lhat we propose,—has tel been
provided. Nearly two y ears have elapsed aitu-e
we conceived the plan, which we now purpose
attempting lo execute; and though our Journal
tiny he a modification of the plan then con
ceived, vet substantially, it wjs partially eiecul-
ed, an/announced in the Southern Wearier V
Review for June, 1842. Circiimslanees ot or
which we had no control prevented ill consum
mation at that period. Whatever impremiont
wC may then have had of the necessity fur »urli
a work, have been strengthened by the lapse of
time, aud we now hope to carry iU main fea
tures into execution.
The utility of such a woik is as evident «*
its necessity. Are ihetc bond red* of Ihrmmnds
