EXPERIENCE OF AX EAEI.Y SETTLE ft
WITH THE INDIANS A FORTUNATE I
ANDE jATAL SHOT.
It was the year 180.5 that I settled
in Virginia, near the falls of Kanawha.
Thp c-oiuitry at that time was an urn i
broken AviMenipss. But few settle
ments had been made by the whites,
and they Avere so far apj\rt as to ren
der vain all hopes of assistance in case
of attack from hostile Indians, num
bers of whom still infested the neigh
borhood. I lived there alone with my
wife for several months unmolested,
and by dint of perseverance, when
young and hardy, had succeeded
iu making quite a clearing in the
forest, which T planted with corn, and
which promised an abundant yield-
One morning, after w? hqd dis
patched; Qiir humble meal, and I bad
just prepared to venture foyih upen
my accustomed routine labor, my ay ;
tent ion was arrested bv the tinkling
of a cow-bell in the cornfield.
*' Thercf said my wife, “the cow is
in the cornfield.”
But the ear of the backwoodsman be
comes educated very accutc, especial
ly from the fact that his safety often
depends upon the nice cultivation of
that sense.
I was not so easilv deceived. The
sound, wss ivntated “ That,” said I,!
fn reply to mv wiies remark, “ was I
not the tinkle of a bell upon the cow,
but a decoy from some Indian, who
wishes to draw me into an ambush. ’
Believing this to be the ease, I took
down my old musket, and seeing that
it war, properly loaded. I stole can
tiousiy around the field toward the
spot from which the sound seemed to !
proceed.
As I suspected, there in a clump of j
bushes an Indian was waiting for me
to appear in answer to bis decoy hell
that hv- might send a fatal bullet to my
heart. I approached without discov
eving to him until within
| shooting distance, then raised lgy
piece anti lired- The bullet sped true
to its mark, and the Indian fell dead.
Not knowing but that he was ae
! companicd by others, I returned with
{ full speed to the cabin, and having
I firmly barricaded the door, I watched
| all day for the companions of the In-.
: dian I had killed. To add to the
| danger and seeming hopelessness of
my situation, I discovered that
bui one shot left, and if attacked by
numbers I should be entirely in their
power. Determined to do the best
with the powder; I put it into the mus
kot and then waited for the approach
of night, feeling sure of an attack.
Night eg me at last. A beautiful
moonlight nigh? it was, too, and fa
vored me greatly, as I would thereby
be ably to observe the movements of
: the enemv us they approached the cab
in.
It was some two hours after night'
f-'ll, and yet 1 had neither heard or
seen a sign of the Indians, when sttd
denly I was startled by the baying of
my dog at the stable The stable
stood a little west of the cabin, and be
tween the two was a patch of clear
ground on which the light of the moon
fell unobstructed- Judging Irom tip
noise at the stable that they would
advance from that direction, I posted
myself at the port-hole on. that Side of
tip cabin.
1 had previously placed my wife on
the cross-pole in the chimney, so that
in ease our enemies effected an entrance
into our cabin, she might climb out
through the chimney and make her
escape. For myself I entertained no
hope, but detomunud to sell my life
dearly.
AY ith breathless anxiet y I waited at
the port hole. At length I saw them
emerge from the shadow of the stable
and advance across the open ground
towards my cabin. One—two—
tinge—great heavens! six stalwart
Indians, armed to the teeth, and urged
on by the hope of revenge, and I alone
to oppose them with oift* charge of
j powder. My case was desperate, in
; deed ith quick and stealthy steps, in
close single tile, they approached, and
I were already within a few yards of the
house, when a slight change in the
movement of the forward Indian
changed the six, so that a portion of
| the side of each was uncovered.
They were in range, and one aim
would cover all. Quick as thought I

aimed and fired. As the smoke clear
ed away I could hardly credit what
my senses showed me as the result of
mv shot. r l he fifteen slugs with which
I loaded the musket, had done their
work Avell. Five of the six Indians
lay dead upon the ground, and the
sixth had disappeared. Although no
enemies were now in sight, I did not
venture forth until morning. There
lay the bodies of five Indians undis
turbed, together with the rifle of the
other. Seeming the arms and anima
tion ot the fallen indians, I followed
up the missing one until I reached
the river, beyond which point I could
discover no trace whatever. From
the amount of blood which marked
his trail, together with unmistakable
evidence that he hud picked his way
with difficulty, I was led to believe
that lie Avas mortally wounded, and in
order to prevent his body falling info
the hands of the foe, he had groped
bis way to the river and thrown bin*
self iii the current which had borne it
a wav'.

ot the most ligid temperance. In a
word, all his friends ai.<f acquaintance

the virtues of a general. Candor,
sincerity,afiabiliiy and simplicity seem
to be thy striking features of hix char

April tenth,
J/K Grady <t Shan A lin :
Gents.— My attenshum has been
called ter a spewrions document vou
hftv been a publish in over mv signa
ture in yuor free and easy paper—j
don t keer anything about it much, on
ly that it slanders my land. Mv bet
tum is as good as anybody's and I’ve
got as much of it. I aint much of a
farmer but I dont hav to buy corn ncr
steal it. Ive settled down here for
good, and its satisfakshum to be whar
I cant bear politiks, nor git the news
papers, only oust in a while. To my
Qpinyuin them two things is the cuss
of the country, beggin your pardeiq
for I’m free to say you do as little
harm as you possibly can, considerin
how many fools arc always hankerin
after some newspaper devilment. The
more slander and nonsense you put in
it the better they like it. Human na
ture is as mean as a dog cspeshilly the
male "sex ; and sum of the women
aint exactly ready for the New -fe.ew
salem. 1 heard Saryana Jonsin say
last Sundv, she’d bet a dollar Jule
Rollins hot her fine bonnit on. o, credit
and would wear it out afore she paid
for it. Sich is the ngtur of the hu
man hart. It loves a little slander
better than anything, and if you want
your paper to suckseed you must feed
your folks on that sort of food semi
okkashunally or frequenter. I think
the Georgy papers understand this
party well. One thing I always did
admire in cm—when they got skeerse
of outside subjects they pitch rite into
one anuther. I like Air. Fitch for
that—don’t 3011 ? F itch sends me the
Star, and sumbudy catches it 3 times
a week, shore if he’s at home and at
himself. Fitch dont swell and puff
and blow like some editors. lie jest
loads bis gun and cracks away, hit or
miss, and lie dont keer much whether
he misses or hits so the gun goes off.
I like that better than to see an editor
swell up and look wise and be always
hintin about a G pounder lie’s got hid
out and will bring up to the front sum
of these days. Mr. Grady & Shank
lin you made a mistake m namin of
your paper. Your yothful mode, ty,
took advantage of you—J like modes
ty, but its out of place in a newspaper
—why dident you pick out sum sich
high sound in tremengious name as the
Star or the Sun or the World or the
Globe or the Constitution or the Con
sti tu tion al ist. Sumbody ought to
! get .ahead of that last feller and call
! his paper the Constitutionalistibus. —
Then eh ere k more luminaries besides
the sun and stars. You might hav
called yo-u&u the Moon or the Milky
Way or the Great Bear or the Roarin
Boreas ; I think that last one Avould
hav suited you. But what you lost
in a name you made up in a sign, and
I rekon its all right.
I purseeve you are all giuin, ready
to lay the eggs to hatch up anew par
tv. Now that weve got rid of the
radikuls in Georgy, of course the
Demokrats will hav to split up on
somethin—there aint ermff offices and
et set eras for all them that wants era,
am) they’d split shore, iwen if they
hav to resurrekt the old AVhig party
agin. I mentioned that to Gen., Black
one day, and he brightened up like he
wasent more than 75 years old, and
says he “John I pray every night that
I may live to see the Old AVhig Party
in power oust more afore I die, I be
lieve that theres nuthin else will save
this country —I believe that Demok
rasy has been the cause of all our
troubble. History proves it to hav
destroyed every government it got
liolq of—J believe tlie Devil himself
is a Democrat. If he wasent afore
Tom Jefferson died, he was very soon
afterwards. I believe that Satan got
after Old Adam in the garden ofKdin
and made him a deigokrat AAVrc
never had any substßiishul peace or
prosperity since that party got into
power, and we wont hay no more un
till we revive the old national Whig
party —thats my doktrine ”
I dident take it as an insult, Mr. !
Shankiin to be talked to so, for the
General is old and feebul and has
been my friend, and I jest mention it
to show that the split is coinin. If it
i aint AA'hig and Demokrat isl be be
I sumthin else, and when it does cum
see the Sun the Cronikle git one
■gde, tlie Cousitution and the Oonsti
tutionalist git on the oilier, jest like
soaks a dancin. I would like to know
how you aud Fitch will pair off. My
opinion is th:\t pitch will run a little 3
kornered party of his own jest to spite
Atlanta and, Gov. Smith. Thi t Col
lege strip will absorb, his politiks for
. stun time to ygm. Fitch is a Griffin
man shore, and thats what I like in
; an editor.
I suppose we may now consider
the old State recenetrukted. Its took
< about 7 vcare but that aint rtvronsiTt,—
when a man lias a site and gits bnn
ge<l up it takes sum time tor him to
rekuperale. The worse he is bunged
i the longer it takes. Jest so with a
State only its more so, for a man can
wash his sores with caststeal soap,
and a State cant, and therefore they
| fester and run and the vermin gits in
-Ito cm : and it cant git well ontell
| all sieli is exterminated. She was in
a sorry fix to begin on—not much
meat on her poor old bones, and as
fast as flesh cum it was prayed upon
by these swarms of home and fnrrcn
vermin until she liked to have died. —
But it seems to be all over now only
they say there is sum danger of a re
lapse. Wove got rid of Radikuls and
Carpet-baggers, but I heard a man
say that in his opinion accordin to a
life of long observations it was in the
range of human possibility for even
a Demokrat to steal. lie says they
wont begin rite away under Gov.
Smiths nose, but that when they do j
begin theyl cklipse all them small
Radikuls Legislators that got fifty
dollars or so apiece last year. Says
he, fifty dollars is a powerful sum to
one of these hack country Rads who
never had ten dollars at a time in his
life—never rode on the kavs nor lived
in a painted house, nor wore store
gallnsscs. They wouldnt think of
stealin more than a hundred dollars
no way. It would skoer him to deth
to contemplate it. link you take one
of these broken down dekayin Demo
krats who had niggers and hogs be
fore the war, and rode in an old fash
ioned high up carriage that had steps
to let down, and who bought his wife j
2 stoic bonnets a year, and now aint
got nothin, and if he gets to stealin hell
take 3 pile, A thousand dollars fur
his sort is only reasonable. And if
he steals lie’ll do ii in a decent j
respektabul way sorter like a robber
givin a, man eloryform to git his watch
and his money, and then kissen of
him before he retires. You sec a
thousand dollars stole from the State
aint but a cent a piece to the votin
population and it would show amity
. mean contrakted carakter to be makin
a luss a bout contributing one cent to.
a poor feller that needs it.
Mr. Grady & Sh.vnklin I think tha-k
i old Waips is mistaken and his remarks
! cntiiefy too premature, I don’t be
I iieve our native born Demokrats
! wants to make a dollar out cf the
! State. T 1 ei;o it Joe Brown and Ben
I Hill and Judge King aint ngoin to
I keep a cent of the money the State
ltoad is makin. Theyl give it all
back to the State. You see if they
ain’t. \ imagine I cam aee em now,
jest marenin ;i|> to Gov. Smith with
their hats off and savin “Governin'
Sur, we managed round to git hold of
your Road jest to keep them Rads
from stealin it. We feel sorter like
we were the chosen instruments of a
kind Providence to save the States
property —we’ve done- it sur, and its
| been makin fifty thousand dollars a
; month and we’ve brot you the money.”
; You wait and see if they dout do that
j I know em and such magnanimous
| condukt is indigenus to em. I
| heard the nevvspapers was a goin to

But I won’t bore you any at

Bubbled to the surface amid the
convulsions of political disorder and
social turmoil, rode tor a while on a
despotic pre-eminence as a stranger Ex
ecutive of the proud State of Georgia.
The absolute supremacy of his power
and his cool disdain of trammels for
tDree years constitute a picture of
bold, evil rule not often seen, and ad
! mirable in its malicious and ty rani cal
l consistency. The man made and un
made Legislatures, toyed with the
State’s sacred sovereignty like a worth- j
less bauble, swayed the judiciary, and
scattered the people’s monev with the |
lavish liberality of a prince, and the >
reckless caprice of a munificent mad
man.
lie preserved his gorgeous deport
ment amid it all, arrayed like a mon
arch, imposing in presence, smiling
and affable, the princely imperutabable
and benignant patron of thieves and
adventurers.
His abdication came like a lightning
stroke in the very zenith of his power.
Never did he appear braver and more
assured than in the very preliminaries
of its hegira, and he accompanied his
release of the State from the loul grip
with a characteristic ebullition ot
grandiloquence, and hypocritical as
sumacy of virtue.
He has braved it out well. Never
man so heroically appeared virtuous
who lacked it; never Pharisee made
a sublimer display of brazen effront
ery as a and incorruptible
innocent, than this self-same superb
Radical bawd.
Down the metallic deity fell with a
long descent and a dull thud. Gover
nors have played the game of justice
over the highcoekolorum fugitive, and
to-day sees him a miserable skulker
from the offended law, and an outcast
fromc, friends, society and govern
ment.

It is likely the receipts will be 25,-
GOO bales this week, compared with
57,000 last year and 50,000 the year
before. And receipts at interiortowns
indicate 0,000 bales this week/ com
pared with 8,0)0 bales last year, and ,
7,000 the year before.
The average of the thermometer for
the past week was GO at noon. One
light rain two clear days, the rest of j
the week cloudy. For the past two
days the weather has been cool, but
as we suggested last week, the cloudy
weather has prevented a killing frost.
A little hoar frost was seen, but noth
ing at all injured by it, and all danger
of frost for this spring is now past.
All our infovnuitioii from the cotton
growing region of the South is, there ,
is splendid weather, and has been for
two weeks, never better for cotton
planting,, and the early planting has
come up with fine stands. All we
have to fear now for two months to
come is dry weather. Four weeks
ago we stated that a slight increase in
receipts and pleasant weather for two
weeks would depress prices ; we had
both last week and as a consequence i
prices are lower. Everything tie- |
pends upon the weather. We are
often asked why docs cotton *ot go j
up with these small receipts ? Our !
answer is. it will g*f up very fast if:
we have such weather in May and |
June as we had last year.
So far, our receipts compared with
. last year, are 980,0) I bales* less, but
the quantity for sale in the markets of j
the world is 100,090 bales more than !
last year.
We are often asked about the
| weight of cotton bales, as put up in
different countries, and will now give .
the average weight for ten years:
American cotton bales Jveragc 438
pounds; Egyptian cotton bales aver
age 495, East India cotton bales aver
age 38G pounds ; Turkish cotton bales
i average 382 ; West India cotton bales
! average 21G pounds ; Brazilian cot
ton bales average 165 ponds.
The average American crop is three
million bales. The average Egyptian
crop is three hundred thousand bales;
total crop of India is fifteen hundred
I and fifty thousand bales ; total crop
of Turkey is two hundred thousand
: bales; total crop of NY est India is
i one hundred and fifty thousand bales,
and the total Brazilian crop is eight
i hundred thousand bales. Here we
have-a total of six millions of bales,
and as the prices are now very high,
it we have good reasons we will have
; seven millions ci* bales this year. If
; wc do, will nvicct* go up or down ?
