1 ' ' ) . AUGUSTA ; TUESDAY. APRIL 19, 1335. Wk believe that the present promising state of the Cotton market is more inter esting to most of our readers, than the po litical slang which is following the late changes at Washington. We had not ex pected to see Cotton again at thirty cents, , and rising from that. One good effect must follow from this : Many will have an un- 1 1 expected supply of the “ needful,” to pay [ old debts ; and the honest industry of others | will be liberally rewarded. We can only i hope that the experience, which it said to 1 teach wisdom, may prevent our citizens ' from running wild, the next season, uponij the strength of their success in this. If the , lesson taught in 1819 can be remembered, and felt, our present high prices will only ' be a blessing; it it is forgotten or neglected, they may prove a curse, worse than the “ Locusts of Egypt.” Mr. Eaton, a Senator from Tennessee, has been corresponding with Mr. Clay, on the subject of the latter gentleman’s late address to his constituents, and has pub lished the whole of his letters, with the Se cretary’s answers, in the Washington Gaz ette. They are too long for our columns. Neither party seems to have any special kindness for the other, and some pretty pointed sparring occurs on both sides—for instance, Mr. Clay says to Mr. Eaton ; " In regard to year polite intimation tliat 1 had not properly reflected «ruo w h‘it belonged to c urteey, I hare tvro observa tion* to niHke.the fint of which ii that lam yet to be made senaihle of any particular claim that you hove upon me for nn extraordinary obiervation of it* rule. ; and the second is, that when I may think 1 shall hav* occasion to learn them, I shnll not be tempted, even by a gratuitous offer, lo renounce my indis putable nglit to choose my own preceptor". And Mr. Eaton’s answer contains the following insinuation: “ or *he privilege conceeded by you of rigiting Mr. Krenicr and of deriving “ from his society, whatever enjoyments it can afford, liteniry, scientific or political” I oiiffht I# feel grateful, hoivever i may omit to express my gratitude Mr. Kremer is Considered an honest man j he hears drith him every whero this T< potation ; aud whilst he bears it, is fair company for any one, although he may not, like false coin, aim lo assume any gloss, appearance, or to pag* for an} thing beyond a real value.” It is evident that Mr, Clay’s enemies are thickening round him. We should degrade ourselves, hr publishing all they say of him; and as a general rule, choose to let the mat ter entirely alone It seems to be a quar rel between his t friends and those of Gene ral Jackson : and as we are partisans of neither, while w tt wish them both justice and fair play, we have only to say, « settle it between yourselves, gentlemen?’ UNIVERSITY GF^PENNSYLVANIA.

Accidents. —A few days ago while a shop keeper in Irwinton was weighing some pow der, a spark of fire was communicated to it from a uegar that one of the company was smoking. There were about thirty persons! A in the house, twenty-one of whom were in jured more or less. At the last accounts none of them had died, though the lives of' two or three were almost despaired of. Our information is not positive, but we believe 1 the keg was nearly full of powder at the time I it exploded. In Twiggs county, a few days ago, some persons who were employed in hiying a swarm of bees, found it necessary to cut down a tree. A Mr. Todd, who we be lieve was not engaged in hiving the bees, but was ploughing a short distance from the place, left his plough and stood near the tree that was cut down. It fell against an other tree, which being dry, broke to pie ces, and one of the pieces fell on him snd wounded him so severely that he died a few days after. Geo. Mess. Fumigation Baths.— The application of medical gases externally, has been practiced with great success in France and England in cases of chronic and cutaneous disorders Their exhibition in this city, by Dr. Heil ikon, has resulted in many important cure“ and the public should be apprized of tlu - salutary meant thus offered of alleviating human suffering and prolonging human life. We have seen a pamphlet published by Or Green, of England, who jft deputed to examine the establishment dPthese baths in France and, the result of whose visit was their institution in his own country, in whicli their merit, in the cure of various disorders, is particularly described and attested.

[iV. Y. Ev. Post, 6th inst. Gold. —This article has become so plen ty since the discovery of the mines in North- Carolina, that it is sent in bulk, without be ing coined, in payment of goods received | from this city. Yesterday a remittance va lued at one thousand dollars was sent to one of our merchants, who this year, has received about six thousand dollars worth of 1 the same article, which sold for 95 cents I the penny weight.— JV. Y. Ev. Post, | Albany, April 5, FIRE.—We stop the press to mention i the destruction of several buildings, princi- ■ pally store houses, tobacco factories, and stables, in Middle Lane, by fire. It caught in a building occupied as a snuff & tobacco factory by Messrs. Kline and Gott, about 8 o’clock last evening.---For more than an hour it threatened destruction to the most business part of the city, it being in the im mediate vicinity of the State Bank, and the wind N. VV. driving the cinders in the di rection of the junction of State and Mark et-streets, and many times setting |ire to the roofs of the houses in that direction. The loss of property not ascertained, but must be very considerable. What amount was insured we have yet to learn. N ew-York, April 7. The effect of the news from Europe, oc casioned operations yesterday in our market to an extent heretofore unknown. The speculations in cotton took the lead, and thousands of bales, in the course of business hours, changed hands three times. Many individuals have made large fortunes by this article alone, and the country has been im mensely benefitted by the advance in Eu rope of this great American staple. Ex presses were sent off in various directions. Gazette. Philadelphia, April 8. The intelligence of the improvement in ’ the Liverpool and London Markets, brought by the Crisis at New-York, had the effect i yesterday morning of instantaneously pro , ducing an advance in the prices of several of the most important articles in our mar ket. Cotton advanced 4 cents and coffee 2 cents in the pound, and domestic goods seven and a half to ten per cent, on the previous day’s price. Two or three ex presses reacned here from New-York in an ticipation of the mail, and one or two pro ceeded to the south. All is bustle and ac tivity in business. Baltimore, April 9. The Markets. —The receipt of the intelli gence, by yesterday’s mail, of the sudden and great rise in the London markets of the articles of Cotton, Coffee, and other merchan dize, caused a very general movement in our market yesterday among (he dealers and speculators. We learn that large purchases were made as early as Thursday evening, advices having been received bv express on that afternoon,in anticipation of the regular mail. As soon as the news transpired yes terday, we are informed that comparatively limited sales were made, articles being held at prices at which speculators would not purchase. Extensive purchases of domestic cotton goods, we also learn, have been made, predicated on the advance in price of (he raw materiel. [ American. Valuable Present.—S\v Isaac Coffin Ad miral in the British Navy, a native of Mas sachusetts, has addressed a letter to the Cor responding Secretary of the Massachusetts Agricultural Society, stating that a Stud- Horse and a Mare, of the Yorkshire Cleve land Bays, the moat approved breed in En gland lor the coach and the road, were rea dy to be presented by him, and lobe placed at the direction of the Soc'ety, in Liverpool. The Society have unanimously voted their icordial thanks to Admiral Coffin, for his re peated, munificent, and permanently valua ble donations to his native state, of some of the finest animals of the most approved breeds in Europe. The Trustee give notice that “these animals will probably arrive in Boston in the month of June, and immedi ate notice will be given where they are to be placed, that she community for whose advantage they were presented, may obtain the benefit intended. \_Salem paper.” -"*»### a»- We copy from a Northern paper an ac count ot the execution of a woman, which makes u» shudder, and which we present to our readers only because it may excite in them horror for this mode of punishment.— I he public hanging of a female would suit a uarbarons age and nation :—it becomes no; mr times and country ; it is either too re volting or affecting to operate upon e’thei -x as an example in the spirit of the law. . ui» instance illustrates its unprofitable aess for society in all respects except tlu ; destruction of the culprit; a point at least questionable as to its public utility, espe cially in tbe case of a famale, whom other inflictions might reform, however heinous i Iter immediate guilt. [AW. Gaz. i Raleigh, (N C.) April 8. The Geological resources of our state < haveot late excited considerable attention ‘ amongst our citizens, and in the neighbor- s ing states, particularly as to that precious 1 metal which has occasioned so much misery, ' and been the means of diffusing so much a gratification through the world. The dis- ‘ covery of Gold has not been confined to one section of the State, for though Cabar- ‘ rus and Montgomery, Rowan and Anson, 1 have perhaps reaped the greatest harvest in < this precious produce, yet two counties, re- I mute from these, have also found pieces of ' the precious ore. The minute particulars i we cannot ascertain, but a gentleman from I j Granville, recently informed us, that some months ago, a piece of Gold was found 1 which sold for between twenty and thirty I dollars, and preceding that, a piece had;* been found wluafr sold for 10 sterling. A ' gentleman from Nash, present at this con- I versatien, said that he had himself sold a ’ lump of Gold found in his county, in this I city for g6Q True it is, this produce was of small value, but it confirms die opinion < that there is a vein of this precious metal • runs through this state. I Great events do not appear at once ; time and frequently accidents, make discoveries, which aided by scientific research become of great value to the community, us well > as individuals. The silver mines of Swed- a en, we think, were discovered by the ac cidental striking of a vein by a horse’s hoof. More than ever do we applaud our Le gislature for sanctioning a Sur vey, which we trust will be continued until every part of our stale shall have been ex plored by Professor Ohnstead, the gentle man appointed fur the purpose, and who it very eminently qualified to accomplish this desirable object. Extract of a letter from i 'apt. R. A. M'Cabe, commanding Fort Crawford, Prairie da Chien , to his brother in Huntingdon, da ted mh Jan. 1825. “ Fort Crawford lies on the Mississippi . river, in 43, 3, 30, North latitude, about 600 miles above St. Louis, and 300 below St. Anthony. The fort is situated on an extensive plain, altogether alluvial, known by the name of Prairie du Chien, ot Dog Meadow, which is about 12 miles in length, and from 2to 3 miles wide. The village of Prairie du Chien is dispersed over the Prai ' rie in three diflerent places. Toe largest is immediately joining the garrison, and the , farthest part, nut more thaftfAvo miles from it. The inhabitants are chiefly French ’ Canadians and Indians Os the latter, the most part are sqaws and half breeds, inter ’ married with Canadians. The river at this place is nearly as large as the Susquehanna ’j at Harrisbuig, but very much cut up with ■{islands. Three miles below it receives the ’ I Wisconsin, which is larger than both bran ches of the Juniata at Col. Fee’s. Bv means of the Wisconsin and Fox river, except a carrying place of two miles between them, we have a water communication with Green! - Bay, Detroit, Buffalo, arid by the great ca -1 nal, with any port of the world. Sevcuty- I five miles below this are the extensive lead | mines, known by the name of Do Buke’s r: mines. They are worked at present by two I I or three persons of enterprize. And I heard * it said a few days since, that two of them: . who are in partnership in the business, have, i at this time, twenty thousand dollars worth r of mineral for smelting. *| “ Our red neighbors appear to be friendly, r though many outrages have been committed I in the course of the last summer. Six men • were murdered between this and Fort St. - Anthony, four of whom were citizens of ■ this place, the other two deserters from St. ; Anthony. Two of.the citizens were married |to Sioux women, ralations to Wabasha, the 'principal chief of the Sioux, who reside on -1 the Mississippi, it remained doubtful for -sometime, whether the outrage was com - milled by the Sioux or Chippewas, (those * two tribes having been at war for upwards ■j of twenty years.) But in order to set the -[matter in a favorable light with the whiles, ■j Wabasha made up a war party, which he ■ 'headed, taking as his allies a few Winaba- I goes. In ascending the Chippewa river • which enters the Mississippi at the foot of t* Lake Pepin, the advance canoes of botli par ■ ties met unexpectedly in turning a sharp - angle of the shore. The heads of their ca l', noes were within twenty feet of each other, I I when the hostile parties flew to their arms. : Tlie Sioux who was in the bow of the fore i most canoe, was shot dead the first lire.— - Two of the Chippewas shared 1 like fate. > “ A few minutes decided i victory in ! favor of Wabasha, who returne vith four i scalps of (he enemy, and saved ( ' scalp of the only man of his party who v kill ed. On this occasion there was much re joicing, and not a little drunkenness. The victorious warriors danced their scalp dance l at this village, for at least a week. This was done to appease the spirits of those for whom they had taken revenge. The .Sioux never bury their people who are killed in -tattle. The one killed in this skirmish was placed against a tree in an erect pos ture, with all his ornaments on, with a war ■dub in one band, and a gun in the other, ie was left by the party. 1 enquired of one jf the party, who gave me this information, why they had done so ? •* Oh,” said he, “to make the Chippewas shoot a dead man”—which, he added, would be a great disgrace ta the Chippewas. Those of that tribe who committed the murder, inhabit the country bordering on Lake Superior. “ Some persons from Missouri, who had J contracted to deliver a drove of cattle at the Selkirk settlement on the Bed River of Hud son’s Bay, started with the cattle some lime last summer, and after a few weeks journey, were met by a party of 2 or 300 Sioux, who | are called by the French, Gens la fois, which is in our language, the people of the leaf. * “ These people have no settled place of ( abode, but, move continually after the herds g of Buffalo. Those sons of the forest went to work and killed 40 or 50 of the cattle to supply themselves with powder horns, ( stripped the party of nearly all, their cloth- f ing, took their horses, and then suffered them to proceed on their journey. “ Gur situation is iu the centre of sever al powerful tribes of Indians. Below us toward St. Louis is the Sacs and Reynards, or, as they are more commonly called, the 0 Socks and Foxes. Last of this, towards Lake Michigan,are the VVinabagoes. North- * wardly towards Lake Superior, the Chip- n pewas. Between the two last, and some- [, what mixed with both are the Fols Jivens, i or Wild Rice Indians, who call themselves am) west and southardly are the Sioux, the iVadawesses of Carver .” Carrico, < In Scrireo county, on the 4th instant, by Jacob Fraernan, F.*q.
