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 CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 10, 1872. 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'.

[From th*: Romi* Commercial.] Letter from Big John. Aumeciiy Bottom.) 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 | refund about half they got for printin | Bullocks Proek lama shuns. That’l be j a powerful strain sum of em, for | of all the funds known to i nan kind, a refund is the hardest to ni#Bb. Some ; men will go to gail or run away be ! tore they T do it. But I won’t bore you any at present I only starter 1 , to let you know that other letter was spewrious and I suspect was sum of Bill Arps divilmeut.

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. What next? —Atlanta Constitu tion. Prom the Atlanta CjustituLou. Cotton. The receipts at all ports last week ! were 39,00) bales—23,o)o bales less ! than last year, and I,oooloss than two j years ago. The reeepts at the interior towns | were 7,0 )0 bales—2,ooo bales less | than last year, and 1,00)less than two j years since. 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.
