A letter from a gentleman at Fort Gaines to
the editor, dated on the 24th ultimo, says “ the
Chactaw llatchie Indians are surrendering at
Fort Gadsden. The Chactaw Hatchie is a small
river about forty miles west of this, and empties

General Harrison has publicly declined being
considered a candidate for the office of governor
at the ensuing election. He has also refused
being a candidate for a seat in the next national

member of Con-
Usury.—The legislature of Alabama, at
their late session, passed an act repealing all laws
against Usury. Any written obligation, spcci-
fying the interest at ahy rate per centum, as a-
greed upon, may be recovered in the courts of
law and equity in this Territory—and where no
rate is specified, the obligations will draw inter
est at the rate of eight per cent, per annum, from
the time it becomesdue. We believe otlrs is the
first legislature in the Union, which has made all
obligations recoverable, let the rate of interest
be what it may. The state of Mississippi in con
vention have by their constitution, put it out ol
the power of their legislature to pass any law
respecting the rate of interest.—Huntsville paper
Cotton has begun to draw the attention of the
planters of Cuba, as it is calculated that its cul

LAND AND MILLS—A BARGAIN.
T HE subscriber, living six miles from Madi
son, Morgan county, is anxious to sell his
Land and Mills whereon he now resides, con
taining 385 acres of very strong land, 68 acres
cleared, a new framed dwelling house, with other
convenient out houses, situated in an extensive
grove, on one of the most eligible sites, within
convenient distance of good spring water; and
the Mills, a saw and grist mill in good repair
with two pair of stones, two bolting cloths, house
* iree stories high, out of the strongest framed
timbers. The mill amply supports my family
with bread, consisting of thirty-four persons, afl
eaters ! eight horses, eighty hogs, three milch
cows, two oxen, all of whicn are in good order,
and are at all times dependant on tne mill for
support, not having made or bought a bushel of
grain since 1 owned them, and get an overplus
for sale. Another capital advantage combined,,
being supported in this way a person can cultivate
cotton entirely; and a single individual, after
making the first payment, could pay the balance
with the overplus toll, as the mill gets 1500 or
2000 bushels of toll grain in the year, which I
would engage at two dollars per bushel at this
time. He has also another tract in Clarke coun
ty for sale, containing between three and four
hundred acres, within three miles of the Scull
Shoals, on the Oconee river. Its fertility, healthi
ness, houses, water, meadow-laud, low and high
land being interspersed all over it, with pine, pop
lar and hickory, all combine to make it one of the
most desirable country seats I have seen in Geor
gia ; 100 acres are cleared and well inclosed—
The purchaser may get 50 barrels of corn on this
place, with 6000 pounds of blade fodder. I will
sell either of the tracts, separately, or together.
Tiie one in Clarke has two settlements on it, di
vided equally bv a creek—For the above proper
ty cash would be preferred, yet very accommo
dating terms may be had, such is my anxiety to
move. C. Wells or Mr. Hardigru will shew the
Clarke land, living near it.
