AN INDIAN BEAUTY From “Sketches of the Pawnees by a corres pondent of the New York American.” The rest of the party then commenced their inarch in Indian file across the riv er, keeping in a line with the indian, who led the way across the ford. Most of the party followed the guide; but the horses of some of us grew restive; and missing the ford, we drifted a short dis tance down the stream. Here we reach ed a small Island, and scrambling up its bank we gallppped across to the opposite adie. Here we found the young wife of an Indian Chief of the Otoe Indians, stan ding in the edge of the water. She was about 20, tall and finely formed, and her face, next to that of the wife of the Kio way Indian, was the most beautiful of any of the Indian females we had ever met with. Her hair was parted across her forehead, and hung down upon her shoulders; a small jacket of blue cloth was fastened around her shoulders and breast, and a mantle of the same was rap ped around her body They had been presented to her by the Commissioner but a few days before. She was standing upon a small bay, and the water was gurgling around her feet; a short dis tance in front of her the deep channel was rushing with a powerful current. She looked at the water and then at her dress withan expression of almost childish sor row. To swim the river would ruin them; the Indians had all reached the op positebank, and were waiting for the rest to come up, so that there was no as sistance to be expected from them. Just then the hunter;: dashed bv her into the deep channel : they did no’, even notice her; they were used to such sights. I was the last of the party, and she knew it; for though we could not speak the same language, there was an imploring expression in her large dark eye as she fixed it upon me, that told every thing. Still I hesitated: I thought of pushing on; there was a powerful strug gle between selfishness and a desire to assist her; she saw it, and speaking a few words in her own silver tongue, she at the same time pointed to her new dress. There was something so sorrowful in the tone and gesture, that I could uot re sist it. I took my rifle in my left hand, and reaching out my right, she seized it; she placed her foot upon mine, and with a sudden bound she was upon the back of my horse, stooping behind me with her arms around my neck: The horse on which we were mounted was so long ac customed to have his own way in every thing that he grew very indignant at this new imposition, no doubt looking up on it as an infringement upon hi.s pic rogativc—but a heavy lunge of the/;-; subdued his wrath, and bounded fovA.m into the rushing river. He was a pow erful beast and took to the water like a sea fowl, the river rushed and roared around us with an almost dizzying ve locity and we could feel the nervous quiv ering of his limbs as he bore up against its violent impetus.—but occasionally as he went snorting along, he cast back spite ful glances at his riders; 1 expected mischief, and it came to pass. We felt his hoofs touch the bottom—three leaps —he was up the bank—his heels flew in the air, thearms ofthe squaw were jerked violently from my ncek and I saw her form describing a sommerset through the air and site landed upon her feet and received no injury. The Indians raised a shout of laughter and the relieved horse now being satisfied, copimenced his journey towards the Republican village. From the Detroit Courier, TECUMSEH. The following incident in th career of this remarkable savage, which we do not reccollect to have seen published, may not be altogether uninteresting to our readers, though we fail to embody it in the glowing language of an eye-wit ness, by whom we chanced to hear it narrated, We give it with the more readiness, well knowing the importance attached by the public to any occurrence, however slight, serving to illustrate the character of a distinguished individual, and such the self-strived "King ofthe Woods” is universall allowed -to have been, though border traditions have dark ened the policy and patriotism ofthe na- j tive warrier with the deepest pencilling offeroeity and bloodthirstiness. The train of events immediately sue feeding the memorable victory of Lake Erie on the 12th of September, 1814, are ►till fresh in the memory of many of oar inhabitants. Among them was the evacuation of Fort Malden by the British, notwithstanding the earnest counsel of Tecumseh that it shouid be maintained to the last, at the same time proposfngto ►kirt the forest below with h.ijs ‘ braves,” and foot by foot to dispute the progress z>l the assailants It was a bright autum nal day when the army of General Har rison, under the escort of Commodore Perrys little fleet, sailed from Put-in- Bay, for the purpose of occupying that important post The warlike array ofthe little squad- row. still scored with the marks of the re cent engagement; the fluttering of pen ants and waving of btitle flags; and the • filesof soldiery crowding the boats with their burnished muskets, throwing back the glitter of the sun, were described as having formed a truly animating speca cle. Their course lay along that part of the Lake which had been the scene of conflict but ten days previous, and terri ble mementos of that bloody victory, stil surrounded them in the floating bodies of the dead, blackened and mangled ds they were tossed from the deeks, the red coat of Brittons contrasting with the grey dress ofthe marine or the blue jucket of the American tar. As they drew near the Canadian shore, an object was discerni ble flitting along the beach, and dashing with rapid movement down the entire front of the appaoaching fleet, and an on leilsurly pausing to reconnoitre. A near er view revealed a trim and athletic horse man, mounted on an Indian poney, dres sed in a belted hunting frock of smoked deer skin, with the appendage of long gai ters st rapped below the knee, and richly ornamented mocasin. It was the cele brated Tecumseh, who notwithstanding the flight of his white ally, had lingered behind to ascertain the force of the inva ding enemy, and who after singly con fronting their floating batteries, till satis . fied of their numerical strength, leisurely j withdrew, as if in dignified defiance, from the shore, to communicate the intelligence to the remaining inmates of the Fort. Had the dauntless spirit and quicksighted sagacity ofthe Indian warrior been shar ed by his British brother, it is prob able that our troops, after a harrassing march to Malden, would have met with a warmer reception than they experienced from a few bed-riddeu paralytics, and a group of defencelsss women and children, While upon this subject, it may not be amiss to advert to a scene, which formed a concluding portion of the sn'iae narra tive, though'not materially connected cith the name of Tecumseh. A party ofthe Kentucky troop of Horse, under the com mand of Col. Johnson, still following up the tracks of Gen. Proctor after his dis comfiture at the forks of the Thames, took possession of the Moravian town, on that river, which had but recently been evacu ated by the enemy. These wild and fearless men, to whom peril was but pas time, and who seem to have resembled in some particulars the tameless horsemen of the Don, were already rendered half furious at the cold and savage butcheries, which had spilt the best blood of Ken tucky like water. When orders were therefore given to fire the rows of the deserted log cabins, which constituted the town, these wild ri ders, in the mere wantonness of daring, scoured furiously through the streets, wal led as they were on either side by sheets of flame, their vicious and half tamed an imals to all appearance equally elated with the strange glee of their masters. The very appearance of these mad war riors must have been semibarbarons, bearded and browned as they were by exposure, and attired in the costume of the backwoodsmen, with their carbines slung over their shonlders, the long hun tingknife thrust into the belt ofthe deer skin frock, and canteen slung from the bearskin saddle bows.—This, with the roaring of the conflagration, the crush of the falling dwellings, the shouts of these desperate troopers, and the clattering of their horses as they burst ever and anon through the smoke and flames, must have nresented as singular and striking a pic ture as has ever been sketched even by the pencil of romance. GAMA GRASS. Alabama, July 15, 1834.. 7’otA.e Editor of the Farmer and Gardener:— Sir:—ln the cultivation of Gama Grass, I have four. ‘ tnat planted at two feet it is brought sufficiently close. At eachcuting a slight stiring of the ground, with a common sprouting hoe, has been of much advantage in hastening the. fol lowing growth. Early in the spring I have found much advantage from a lim ing, and a sprinkling of rotten cotton seed which, after the first cutting, I dig into the soil, amongst the roots. Cowpen ma nure has been applied, also, at the same period, with singular effect. The capac ity ot this plant for standing excessive drought, is certainly one of the most val uable claims it has, and was fairly settled during the severe drought experienced in this section ofthe Union, in 1832. In no month was the growth more than three or four inches shorter than the proceeding seasonable year. As regards its duration, I can only state, that a highly intelligent Spanish Gentleman, who immediately re cognized it, and with much apparent plea sure observed it an object of cultivation, answered to my enquiry, respecting its durability, a Spaniard who started in life with a well set lot of Gama Grass, and a sound and young mule, calculated that they would cease to exist about the same time; and that, “may you live as long as Gama,” was deemed among the Spanish peasants in the provinces, no uncourteous sentiment. In one light, I must continue to view this plant as invaluable to the south. Whenever the agriculturists of the south can be persuaded that it is their best inter est, not only to preserve their land, but to render it productive by a spirited system of improvement, then I am persuaded this grass will be found without a rival. As a substitute for soiling, the key to a suc cesssful accumulation of manure,-as also to a successful improvement ofthe breeds o Game so far this grass is v Hout an equal tor quantity of ve< matter, most agreeable to horned - well at horses. . The itt • time e d, and the ease with .-. ffieh one hundred head us cattle might be fed daily. WO qld appear incredible to those unacquainted ' with this forage. With the afd of this grass no part of the union, I must contend pre sents a superior resource for souring two of the nToat important objects to the jjlart-} ter, viz. the improvemen of his cattle and the accumulation of the Arator’s "gold dust’— the means of enriching his lands, and the most perfect security for an am ple return for the labour bestowed on his soil. As regards the SOil On which Gama ought to be cultivated, I will state a cir cumstance that has come under thy owrt observation. Like Mr, Ellison, I felt Confident it would be found to grow best in a soil with a good-clay foundation; but to my no small astonishment, the most luxuriant growth yet prodiiced in this state, that I have seen of heard of has been oil a pine woods hill, the soil of which is proverbial for being without a founda tion of any kind—a quicksand bed—-the ground has had for some years a garden cultivation, that has been cut monthly dur ing the summer, for eight years: and I am assured the growth this yeas is as vigo rous as any preceding. June ghvd me the finest cutting I have ever got from it. In propagating this grass lam aware of the difficulty us procuring the seed. This I hiive however, lessened. .by the plan lately adopted.lt is readily discovered when the seed is ripe ; at which time a touch with the finger will detached it from the ear or head. About eight o’clock every morning,witha few children,! walk through the lot, and gather the seed that is ready to fall. In this way I find no difficulty in soon obtaining a quantity* To this mode of gathering I add another facility for ploughing it, by planting the seed in a rich bed; the first year taking up'pulling the plants to pieces, as done with the shallot, and set out my ground, i (previously well prepared:) intended to be } a permanent lot the second year of its growth. 1 find the plants soon become strong and luxuriant. ACKICOLA. A(JGU S r i A , FRID AY, OCTOIS E R IT, 183 4. Jj- The Public are respectfully informed, that the Reading Room belonging to this Office, is free to all Subscribers to the Courier. Its collection of papers is not inferior to any other, and furnish the means of information from eve ry important quarter of the Union. We find in comparing our Table with the ieturns as contained in difierent papers, that we agree with very few of them in the whole list. Perfect accuracy cannot be obtained till the official returns are published, when we will cor rect our table by them. As we had anticipated, the returns from Cam den County did not give Collee and Grantland the amount we knew must have been due to them. Coffee received there 180, and Grantland 182, which are now added to their aggregates. THEATRE. The Point of Honor, for exhibition To-night, is one of the most interesting Melo-Dramas, we ever witnessed. Some of the scenes are thril ling, and from the cast of the piece, we judge it will lose none of its excitement from deficiency in that way. For particulars, see Bills. The Charleston Mercury is again mistaken in asserting, that the “State Rights” ticket in Georgia fought as NuUifiers. You can pick up among the voters but very few who will consent to bear that name. Os those who sustained that ticket, not one in 20 nor 50 nor 100 is a nullifier. The strength of that ticket is made up ofthe old attachment of the Troup party to their leading men and if you please, to their old principles— which very lew of them will admit as identical, or even similar to Nullification. We could not call either the local or the congressional ticket, the Nullification Ticket, without conscious in justice. We, therefore, gave them any name they chose to bear, and fought them as accesso ries—under the old military rule, that those, who arc not for us, are against us. We arc indebted to the Hon. R. H. Wilde, who arrived in the Rail Road Car on 15th for the latest dates from New York. We have copied every thing of general interest. The Milledgeville JtfwrnaZ of the 15th says: In the Legisature, by our reckoning, the majori ty will be against us on joint baliot, from seven ty to eighty. The Recorder also believes, there will be a bout the same number. MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA. The Introductory Lectures, in this Institution, will be delivered during next week, (commen cing on Monday) in the Chapel ofthe Academy. The public are respectfully invited to attend. OUR STATE LEGISLATURE. It is gratifying, says the Georgian, to find the People of Georgia, as we expected, true to the Union. We have accounts from sixty-one Counties of the State, which return 197 mem bers to the Legislature. Os these the Union cause, has 39 advocates in the Senate, and 86 in the House. Total in joint ballot, 125. Our op ponents have 22 Senators, and 50 in the House. Total, 72. Majority for Union, 53. In the above calculation, we give our oppo nents Mr. Davis, of Glynn, whom we believe to be on our side, but who is claimed by the Nulli fiers. We also give them Mr. Mims, Senator from Talbot, who, our correspondents say, was run by both parties. We have given our cause, the Senator and the two highest Representa tives in Jasper, who are Union men. The third Representative is a State Rights man. There is a tie in Monroe for the fourth Representa tive. Our correspondent says, on the second trial the Union candidate will succeed. Red ding (Union) received 841 votes, and not 838, as heretofore stated. Jones (Union) and Gordon (State Rights) 838, and therefore make the tie. Os the remaining 29 Counties to be heard from wc have a right to expect from the result of the Gubernatorial election last year, Union members to twenty-cr : State Rights ” which without the Monroe to be elect ed, will make 173 Union n to 93 State Rights. The majority for Lr. ■. -• ; therefore probably be eighty, in the i.-xt Legislature which majority the member »' - Monroe will increase or diminish. The imijority mav possi bly be increased to one hundred, if the Coun ties of Appling, Cherokee, Cass, Lowndes and Paulding, which gave trifling majorities last year for return this year Union Re presentatives. Thus, seen, “ the work goes bravelv on.” : ' ■ We had hoped for a little respite from dis putation, and at this moment particularly, when matters Os more interest than newspaper false hoods diaim our attention. But our neighbor the Editor of the Sentinel is so ill-naturedly un just to the members elect to the next Congress from Georgia, that we are obliged to record one dissenting voice at least; to the truth of his re marks. With the single exceptions of Messrs. Wilde and Gilmer on your ticket—but we will not be invidious endiigh to ask what we intended. For these two gentlemen in particular, we have always felt and expressed the highest regard, and we know they will not feel their pride wounded, but their dignity consulted, in placing by their side, as equals; Wayne, Schley and OWens, whose nanics dte copy alphabetically from the foot of our ticket. We would not particularize on either ticket—both were form ed of the 1 best materials of both parties, that poli cy would designaid for public service, and we can feel all due respect for our opponents with out doing the glaring injustice which character izes the remarks ot the Sentinel, on yesterday. We will barely say of Gilmer and Wilde, they would; we believe, have received the nomina tion ot the Union Party, if our oppdndnts had not taken the start of us ; but high is we res pected their character and talents; it was neces sary, that they should for the moment, be set ' aside, in the determiriation to prostrate the j mischievous heresy of the day. We want no ■ better Union men than Gilmer and Wilde— their accidental connection —-not their princi ples, have brought them under the apparent dis pleasure of the public. Now hear, how the Editor of the Sentinel speaks of the late acts ofthe people, in thwarting his wishes. We cannot trust, ourselves to make a single comment, knowing the extreme to i which such flagrant injustice to our friends would lead us. We leave his falsehoods to the 1 public indignation. “Surely we will gain credit for truth, , when we say, that our chagrin does not i spring from the defeat of nullification. We espoused the doctrine, when we could not number a dozen allies in the whole State of Georgia; and when we had only to disclaim itto secure a place in her Legislative counsels.—We believed then, as we believe now, that we were only espousing an old, familiar, republi can doctrine, which had appeared under a new name—and after the excitement of the moment should wear away, and the alarm of the people should subside, they would bring their unbiased judgement to bear upon it, and that they would then be constrained to adopt it; but we had no reason to believe that this revolution in pnblic sentiment would be effected for two or three years yet to come. No, it is not because nullification has suffered a defeat in Georgia, that we are mortified; but because Georgia, has brought shame and disgrace upon herself. She has arran ged herself on the side of that miserable clan, who rule by fraud and corruption, the destinies of this great republic—the fair-famed, and ill-famed, Kitchen Cabinet —She has given countenance to an act ofthe President, which Europeans tell us, their Kings would not dare to do—She has virtually proclaimed that the States are the mere Counties of the Union—She has disavowed the legality of all her for mer acts of sovereignty—She has made Troup a traitor, and the settlers upon the Indian lands, lawless robbers—She has acted with the fickleness of a child and the folly of a maniac—Yesterday, her cla mors for State Rights excited the admira tion, alarm or derision, of the whole Un ion: to-day she is decidedly the most ab ject submissionist in the whole sisterhood of States—Yesterday she sent her sons to Milledgeville to reform her Constitu tion—faithless to their trust, they tried to mould the Constitution into a party instru ment : she felt the insult, and indignantly annulled all they did—To-day she fills all her offices with these very treacherous sons; and to make room for them, she overthrows men who have been shedding glory on her name for twenty years gone by—She has depressed the virtuous and the intelligent; and elevated the profli gate and the ignorant—Her Congress men are a nondescript grou ( r all parties —the favorites ofthe group, aye an old undisguised federalist, and a user of a public place, to enrich his private pocket —Until now, Georgia has never been 1 without one or mor® distinguished in the national councils—To day, she has not a man who is above mediocrity; and but a few who can claim even this distinction i THE UNION PETE. On Saturday last in accordance with the ar-: rangements previously published in the Geor-j gian, a procession ofthe Union and State Rights party of Chatham was formed in front of the) Exchange, preceded by the -Stars andStripes,the I only flag under which the friends of the Union ■ will ever rally, and marched to the ship Consti tution, commanded by Capt. Wilson. The ship was most splendidly decorated with the Starsand Stripes, the American Eagle, and all the signal flags. When the procession reached the vessel, it was received with a salute of twenty four guns which was answered with a similar number from the shore, by guns worked by a party of volun teer artillerists, under the command of Captain Setowich, of this city. The party was most no bly entertained by the Commander ofthe Con stitution. Whilst on board, an ODE, written for the occasion, was read by Robert M. Charlton, Esq. the author, which follows: ODE, Delivered by Roebrt Milledge Charlton, on board the Ship Constitution, in the Port of Savannah, to the “Union and State Rights Association of the County of Chatham,” on the 11th Oct. 1834. « What means this gay assemblage here, These joyous shouts—this cheering sound— Why do the happy feelings bound, Unshackled by the grasp of care— Why come the “imbecile and grey.” To mingle in these scenes today! Is it the birthday of our land— Is it the hour when Freedom’s hand Tore down the standard of despair, And rear’d her own bright banner here? No! that hath past:—-but here, today, We come a sacred debt to pay; We come with cheerful hearts to greet The patriot souls that here we met't— To speak of dangers hapljj pgstj To raise pur heartfelt thanks again, x That still o’er Georgia's hill and plain, Yet ffoateth proudly to the blast Our Country’s Fig— as bright and fair; As wheti dear Freedom placed it here. We with holy zeal, to sWear, That '.io rule hand shall ever tear A sin 6 . • Star that shineth there; But we the treasure will defend, While strength shall last —till life shall erid. What better altar could we rear, Than that whick.greets our vision here! What more befitting spot to pay Qur thanks than where we meet today The Constitution of the land, Is still the. rock on which we stdnd, Bitt yet,with unchanged faith, may we Rest on, (with conscience pure and free,) The Constitution oftHfi Sea. We float not with uncertain tide, Nor yet on angry billows ride, No stormy winds are here to force Our vessel on her devious couise; But safely moored in our dear home, Tho’ winds may howl, and billows loani Still shall theanchorof dm faith Pidtect ns froth their direst wrath Our Pilot,—he, Whose hddd ’ Hath sav’d our vessel from the strand From all Consolidation’s rocks ’ And angry Ndllifying shocks; ’ Oiir Flag—the emblem of our Idud ' Our Crew— the Union’s chosen band With these we will all power defy With these we’ll conquer—or we’ll die. Onr hearts are glad—but yet doth care Commingle with eur gladness here- We would that we could stand again i O’er hill arid mountain—moor and o’lain Without the curse ofbitter strife P ’ To vex the current of our life; ’ We would that all this could cease This wasting war be changed to peace, Then might atfection’s holy band, Clasp round the chosen of our land- I he battle is over, over, ove r I The battle is over—the victory's won. 1 here are tears for the fallen, fallen, fallen But glory to those who their duty have done!

On leaving the ship, the procession was again I foi med, and alter giving nine cheers in comply ment to Capt. Wilson, marched back to the Ex . change where it was dimissed. VERY LATE FROM NEW-YORK. The Steam packet Wm. Gibbons, Capt Pen noter. arrived at Charleston on Tuesday eve ning last, in a very short run fiom New-York, brings us filesof the papers of that city Saturday evening last, and other Northern papers to the latest date. The ship Erie, had arrived at New-York from Havre, bringing later advices than bejore i leceived; and we have been favored with the I following commercial information: Cotton— We have had an irregular demand for this article, since our last report; the sales, upon the whole, have however, been rather ex tensive, havingamoumed to 6205 B, consisting of 3716 B.

He quoted the remarks of Lord Althorp in the j British house of Commons, which went to show (hat one per eent, diflerence in value between foreign and Britisa Gold, would draw every English sovereign out of circulation. 1 I here was before the Deputies a project of a law for sciburing the independence of the Press From the National Gazette. The Cotton Crop of the United States. The importance of the Cotton crop of the U. States, is every year becoming better under stood. Many speculations have been made as to the probable extent of the product of the present year. Nor are these specu lations confined to our own country, for it is un deniably true, that the subject is one of a.sinuch interest to the foreign coasumer, as to the do mestic producer. It was generally believed, that the crop of the present year would exceed that of last by 50,000 bags. This opinion was based as much upon the promising aspect of the crops, as upon the increased number of acres planted. But, within the last four weeks, the prospect ioran abundant crop has been much overcloud ed. From Lonisiana and Mississippi, we learn that the storm ofthe 6th and 7th of September’ has destroyed from one-fourth to one-third of the crop. The latter estimate is, doubtless, too high. But it is fair to conclude, that the’ ex port from New Orleans will be 50,000 bags short of the export ofthe present year. From South Alabama, we learn, that an in sect is destroying whole fields, which promised in the month of August an abundant yield From Carolina and Georgia, we learn that the Chol.r* has spread such a panic among the cotton and rice planters, that many fields have been totally abandoned. This will at least , greatly retard the early picking, and prevent the gathering of a full crop. Besidcs/the pro duct (from other causes) was not calculated at my time to be greater tU that of last yean . Upon the whole, it would be fair to estimate the product ofthe United States as follows b rom I - misiana, Mississippi, Teunes- ' ’ see, xV A abarna, and Arkansas, 400.000 bags. • F rom S. Alabama and Florida, 150,000 bags, i i rom North and South Carolina. b , Georgia and Virginia, 550,000 bags. ’ . 1,100,000 bags. 1 fcT th* storm in Louisians! Arid Mississippi ha* been as destructive as there was reasoa to fear A few days after it occurred, the export from New Orleans may be reduced below 350,000 bags, and in that case, the product of the whole United States would not exceed 1,050,000 bags. What will be the probable derhind for coii l sumption in 1835 ? This question is one of difficult solution- If there be a continuance of general peade iri Eu rope, there is reason to believe the consumption W u i r ® t "® r increase than decline, unless cheek* ed by high prices. Great Britain will require from the United States not less than 700,000 bags! France and the Cont. of Europe ' cannot do with less than 300,000 bags! And the consumpt ion of the United States will be at least 200,000 bags. Making an aggregate of 1,2(M(000 bags. This estimate is based upon the presumption lhat present prices die maintained. If they should advance, the consumption will fall off ; they decline the consumption will increase; Bat admitting then! tc remain stationary, Great Bii tain must seek 100,000 bags from other cotton growing countries, to supply her manufactories; or there must be such an advance in the pricn of the raw material, as to check consumptioe mateiifllly. The latter is most likely to be the case. It is therefore fair to presume that the value of the export of cotton in the year 1835, will etceed 55 milions of dollars. Who would have supposed, at the time Whit ney’s saw gin was introduced, that the export of Cotton from the United States would have ever Exceeded drte-fourth of the amount of our esti mate. But if the consumption contiiltfes to prd- z gress with the slime rapidity, or in the same ra tio, for th* next ten years, that it has done for the ten last past, the value Os the export in Cot ton from the United Stales will, in 1845, exceed 100 millions of dollars. Tha.l the consumption must continue to increase there can be little doubt, because it furnishes the cheapest fabric that can be manufactured, and must supply in a great degree, the place of flax; and be mixed with wool in the manufacture of winter clothing, on account of the great reduction in cost. * Nullification Beaten, in the place of its nativity in Georgia.
