A TEBRiBLL CONFLICT BETWEEN A Win I MAN AND AN INDIAN.’ r.v a c i 6f wimrii.f.i) county, ga. i- 1 tl» North (leorgin Citizen.] In or about the year 1S ID the writer mat with Maj. John Seaborn, whose exploits and adventures among the Cherokee Indians, in the early settle ment of the Northern portion of Geor gia., may bo remembered by the survi ving pioneers of that period, lie re lated to me many interesting incidents cdmioctt and with his life and travels turning tin* natives. Oneofthese was a i to hand conflict with a power ful ( .a m.we Indian, the detail, of which 1 well remember. 1 \va , said he, at the time of the occurrence I am about to relate, in my 1 ,:h year, and in the prime of vigor ous manhood. 1 stood six feet one and a half Inches in my stockings, w A led It;.)pounds, and in the games and athletic sports of the times 1 had nc\ r found my match -nor was I de ficient in thosu traits of courage and daring s > common, and, i may say, so necessary in those perilous times.— posscsing a wild, roving disposition, 1 had left my home in North Carolina, having no fri<*lids or companion in my ramble save a huge brindle dog, a noble and faithful animal, ever mfdy to do my bidding. By a pe culiar whistle between my lingers 1 could call him from a great distance, m:d had taught him many useful tricks and performances. <)u one occasion, when 1 was in the employ of a surveying party, we c;i ;;i i :< and at a point on the banks of the Ktowah river, in what is now known the 1711 1 District of Bartow county, and not more than If miles from a large cave. Near our camp, at a large spring, there was a missionary station and with the missionaries a ..arty o*'pioneers who were engaged ‘in the manufacture of saltpetre, which they procured from dirt haul ed from the cave to the spring and u -cd in the preparation of gun pow der. This station was between our i ; nip and the cave. One beautiful morning 1 concluded to visit the missionaries, and started out for this purpose along a dim trail through the forest. 1 had proedbded about the fourth of a mile w hen the sound of human voices attracted my attention. With the caution acquir ed by long residence among a tricky and dangerous people, 1 quickly stop- I ad behind a large bush and listened intently. The voices approached, and two figures .emerged into view not more'tlqan thirty yards from me the one an Indian of gigantic size, the other the most beautiful female my eyes had ever beheld. Who was seated on a jet black pony of line metal and proportion, ller position in the saddle was moat graceful. A blond ■ of faultless form, features beautiful beyond description, ami with long, gulden, waivy tresses pro fusely hanging down upon the back of her steed. As the savage field the bridle bit, with tomahawk -in hand, a glance sufficed to show me that she was not a voluntary companion in the journey. Indeed, J had scarce had time to form this opinion of the situation before all doubt was remov ed by a sudden and ineffectual ell'orl on the part of the fair rider to exp i ate herself from his grasp by a jerk of the bridle, which caused the pony t > rear almost erect upon his hind feet, whereupon the savage, still cling ing tothebridle, raised his tomahawk, and exclaimed: “Hold, white fawn, or by the Great Spirit my tomahawk shall drink your blood! Me, the son of a great < 'hief, must have pretty white squaw in his wigwam.” Here the motion of his uplifted weapon caused a violent surge by the pony, throwing the rider, who was instantly grasped by the fierce sav age. Wit’ll an almost overwhelming im pulse of rage and fury, my heart throbbing, and my very breath sup pressed with the excitement of the moment, I sprang forward with the leap of a panther, and with a yell which so startled the savage that he loosed his holt upon the lady and made several bounds from her to wards the woods. Seeing me, she explained: “()li! sir, save me! Save me!” Tin* savage now turned and stood at hay, not twenty steps distant. The pony stood trembling near the lady. “"Mount! Mount!” said TANARUS, “quick, kih] fly I”, at the same time lifting her into.the saddle. At .dip'moved off, I faced the In dian, who had turned and stood at key, and recognized him as the fa- ! nious and blood-thirsty George Took, known among the- Indianans Unaha . uh-iccih (white man killer.) He was an Indian of tremendous size and strength, and of most desperate , character. lie stood motionless for j a moment, staring at me with a hid- ! eons expression of hatred and re venge. As 1 looked at his fiendish eye, and saw a large tomahawk in ids brawny hand, there flashed through my mind, for the first time, the immense disadvantage.of my position. I had, unfortunately, left the camp, on this occasion, without my pistol, and had no weapon save a short hunt ing knife, which hung at my side. <>ujck, in emergencies, and " accus tomed to perilous adventure, my plan was instantly formed. It was to induce pursuit in the direction to the camp where aid could he procured. T began to step backward. lie at once-devined my object, and, with a terrible yell, sprang forward, trust ing to reach and dis]ftoteh meat once, doing of swift foot, 1 turned bound 'd forward, giving, as I started, a loud, keen whistle through my lin gers. He followed, with velocity e;jual to my own, and at a distance of about ten paces behind me. For about one hundred yards he put forth ais utmost energies, and then, as if* despairing of success, or fearing 1 might; draw him into ambush, he hurled his tomahawk at me with such swift and fearful proximity to my head that my cap was carried off, and the- instrument, passing me, buried itself in a tree some forty feet beyond. This was a contingency I had hop 'd lbr, 4i■;! I suddenly turned upon my l'oe. As we came together I aimed a blow ett his head with my list. He evad ( 1U( ‘ by a side motion, and step . two or three pacts backward, j'u- a rd upon me, attempting to throw between my legs. Till i was U ‘ mat aVnong the Indian ath- letes, by which they often upset an adversary throwing him over upon his , head and crippling, or placing him at fearful disadvantage. I understood the move, aa l partially avoided it—his head saiking my knee, knocking Imy f-et backward, and staggering me considerably. lie-covering, 1 dealt him a severe ; kick on the head, and throw myself upon his hack, pressing him to the ground, his face downward. He arose upon his hands. I brought him down by jerking his hands from under him. i bethought myself of my knife, and made an effort to erasp it, without success, as the handle had caught under my waistband; and while in the effort to disengage it, the I savage seized one of my thumbs in his I viee-likej iws, cutting it to the b This enraged me intensely and 1 struck him several powerful blows with my fist on his head and neck, which caused him to let go my i thumb, and by an almost superhu man effort sprang from beneath me. He at once turned upon me, and a fisticuff exercise ensued. In this, be ing a practiced boxer, I was too much for him, as he failed to hit me a siu | gle blow, while 1 planted several j stunners upon his short ribs and face, j bringing a fn o gusli of blood from his nose. Beeing this he jumped hack and attempted another run between my legs, which J evaded by a side spring, lie then rushed toward the tree where the tomahawk was stick ing. I intercepted him, and we clinched within three feet of the cov eted weapon; and now commenced a wrestle which, for skill, strenth and desperate contortion, was. perhaps, seldom equalled. His whom effort was to force me against the tree, that he might secure the tomahawk, i Failing in this lie tried several of his Indian tricks, for the purpose of throwing me, while I forced him from the tree, and also attempted to throw him. We thus struggled for some moments, swaying to and fro, and each seeking some advantage. in one of these powerful struggles, in which I was the receding party, my foot became entangled in a grape vine, and I fell, the Indian upon me. Having the tomahawk still in view, he attempted to spring away from me; but as 1 held to him, he jerked me to the erect position, still pressing toward the tree Throwing my foot before him lie fell, and 1 by his side. We lay at arms length upon the grou 11 and g i’4V pp li n g each ot 1 ier’s t h routs, and each panting with exhaustion and , foaming with rage. Feeling that my wind w as failing mo, and fearing that in this respect the savage-might have, the advantage of me, I now deter mined to secure my knife at all haz ards. Hurling myself upon him by a mighty el fort, I threw my hand clown and graspt <1 the handle of the knife, seeing which lie uttered the exclama tion, tea//, and clasped me around the hotly, pressing me to him with all his power, at the same time trying to bite my face. While in this position, my hand upon my knife, and the Indian hold ing me around the arms in a vice like grip, an ally came upon the field. Bruno, my faithful dog, with a fierce growl, sprang to my side and at once fastened his teeth in the shoulder of the savage. This caused him to loose his hold upon me. In an instant my knife was raised and I. aimed a violent thrust at his neck, hut his arm received the blow and the knife shivered upon the hone. As 1 raised to repeat the lick, the Indian exclaimed : “A iirniu'la! Karnarla /” which, in the Indian tongue is, enough ! enough! and, in broken English, added, “take oil' dog i quick ! quick ! Brave white man, no kill great Chief. Me give up.”’ I restrained myself with difficulty, at the moment, but seeing that the victory was mine, a revulsion of feel ing ensued, in the thought that 1 had triumphed in a struggle, which, but a moment before, was so doubtful and desperate; and I even felt a i sense of admiration for the manhood and daring of my powerful antago nist. So I accepted liis surrender, and pulled of tiie dog. Taking off my buckskin suspenders I hound him tightly around the wrists, and exacted from him a promise that he would go as a prisoner to the camp. Noticing that his arm was bleed ing profusely I bound- my handker chief around it, at- which lie gave a grunt of satisfaction. 1 then stepped to the tree, withdrew the toma hawk, and pointed him the direction to go. Just at this juncture the fair damsel, \ whom I iiad rescued, accompanied by j two horsemen from the missionary J station, galloped up. bhe had, with > almost incredible speed, brought them 1 to my aid. As they looked at the stalwart 1 form and bloody visage of the savage, and at my own somewhat bruised , and bloody appearance, and listened j to ray narrative of the desperate; struggle, they gave vent to ex pres-! sions in regard to my strength and j prowess, which brought the tinge of j pride to my cheek, and the beautiful, , girl, unable to express her gratitude I in words, looked*sweetly down upon ' me with her love-beaming eyes, while large pearly tear-drops trick-; led down her soft and blushing 1 cheeks. And, now, friends from my own ; ; uirnp also arrived, and greetings and j ; congratulations were extended and I acquaintances formed which time 1 | can never erase from memory’s page. That I fell in love with the lady was to be expected, and that she should reciprocate, under the circum stances was most natural. She was the daughter of a mission- ( ary sent out from the church of ling-1 land to introduce the gospel to the natives. She had been accustomed to take j her morning and evening rides. On i this occasion she had ventured fur-j 'tivor from the station than was pru dent, and the Indian, who had often : seen her at the camp and was enam-. ored by her charms, had been lying! in wait to kidnap and bear her away : as a captive to some distant tribe, in ■ which attempt he must have succeed ed had it not been for the providen tial interposition just related. In three months from the time of this singular introduction, Maj.S. and the lady were united in wedlock, and may yet be-living in the State of North , Carolina.

The dwelling was burned with the family in it, and when a lit tle child attempted to escape from the burning building the fiend picked it up and cast it back into the ilauies. lie was pursued by the Sheriff and ids posse and captured after a despe rate resistance, in which the Indian was shot in the shoulder, in conse quence of which his arm was a ifor wards amputated. The writer, then a bOy, has a vivid recollection of his appearance upon the scaffold when lie was hung by the Sheriff of Cass county, in 183 J. He was convicted during the J udge sliip of John W.

SLEEP. “I lay me down and slept; I awakened; for the Lord sustained me.” —Psalm iii. 5. The mercy here spoken of was two fold: (1) “ I lay me down and slept.” (J) “J awaked, for the Lord sustain ed me.” Let us glance successively at each of these. Though poets and moralists have struggled for expres sion, and have vied with each other in their enthusiastic eulogies of sleep, yet no one who knows any thing of what life is, will accuse their lan guage of exageration. Though soar ing to the highest heaven of inspired eloquence, they have in every deed spoken of it only the is, indeed, the “serene oblivion of the jaded senses and troubled soul;” it is “nature’s sweet restorer,” and its “soft nurse;” it is the kind hand that “knits up the ravelled sleeve of care,” the balm “of hurt minds,” “sore la bor’s bath;” it is the lowly friend of the poor and the toil-worn, “oft lying with the vile on smoky cribs, and leaving the royal couch;” it is, in fine, to use the powerful and preg nant words of the Christian poet, Young,— “Man’s rich restorative; liis balmy bath, That supplies, lubricates, and keeps in play The various movements of this nice machine, Which asks such frequent periods of repair. When tired with vain rotations of the day, Sleeps winds us up for the succeeding dawn, Fresh we spin on, til! sickness clogsoitt wheels, Or death quite breaks the spring, and motion ends.” Sleep is the- Sabbath of the day. It is the periodical wind-up of weary mechanism of flesh, which else would run down and stop. It is anew bap tism of the fainting powers, as in wa ters of renovating energy. It is the grave in which tired nature sleeps, to spring to life by a fresh resurrection on the morrow. Os its inestimable value, we may form some faint idea when we consider what inroads on the health and spirits its absence, even for one or two successive nights, will make on the strongest frame; and that to be a stranger to its gentle visitations for months together is recognized as amongst the most terri ble of all conceivable afflictions, issu ing in an entire disorgaifization of the whole physical and mental frame, and not seldom in madness. Ah ! we little know what a priceless boon we have God for, everyday we can say, “I laid me diTwn and slept,” Then consider not only what this blessing is in itself, but what tin presence of it implies. As the dews of summer night fall freely only in a calm sky, so the dews of kindly sleep visit us more willingly when the mind is at ease and the body free from serious malady. Oh, think of the thousands and thousands who last night tossed in strong pain, or feverish unrest upon their beds until the dawning of tin day, and would willingly have bought at a dear price even a scanty share of that blessed repose which came to you unbidden, and thus learn what a mercy it is to be able to say, “1 laid me down and slept.” 2. “I waked; for the Lord sustain ed me.” If it be a great mercy to lie down and sleep, it is a still greater to awake. 1 f the suspension of our con sciousness, and of our wearied pow ers, be a blessing, how much more the restoring of them ! If sleep is the grave of ease and toil, waking is the birth of hope and strength. It is a fresh resurrection, in which he who lately lay in helpless nothingness in the land of darkness and silence, springs to new life again, and goeth luuii man ms eiiaiiiner as a strong man to run his race. Sleep, like . death, is but a means to an end, that through that shady gateway we should be Ushered into anew sphere and anew lifeof happy, joyous action. What a mercy,- then, when we are spared thus to awake! It might not have been so. It might have been Iso with you. It might have been so | on any night you have ever slept | ( since you came into the world; 'it | might have been soon the very night ; that has just gone. What if'it iiad I been soV How woukl it have been ' with vour soul this day had it so ' been? If you had not awakened j here, where would you have awuken ;cd ? You slept soundly last night, 1 and for this you have reason to bless | God, the ’Giver of every good and 1 perfect gift; but what if you had slept j too sowuliy / slept that deep sleep i ! which the last trump alone shall 1 break; 1 beseech you, my beloved brethren, seriously to consider this question. To the Christ]ess soul this precious boon, after all, is hut an un certain blessing. Asa wise man says:- t'Sleop is death’s younger , brother, and so like him that I sever ! dare to trust him without my prav ers.” | Take, then, in conclusion, these two ! rules with you: 1 . Lie down ou your bod each night j as if it were your hist, with fresh re -1 pentance and fresli application to the j blood of the Lamb, and fresh eom i mendation of your soul and body to the covenant mercy and fatherly care ■ of God in Christ. 2. Begin each day as if it were your first, with all the ardor of a fresh sur : reader, and of a warm first love; and 1 and remember that the holier the be am niug,. and the steadier the course ,of each day on earth, the brighter will be the dawning of that eternal . morn when the Hun of iUghteousness ! shall arise-with healing in Ills wings. J and sorrow and sighing shall Ilet i :i way.— JJ</Viekde Blau Burnl). D. j t‘4 the Sunday Magazine.

A Sack am ex to lawyer remarked to the court: “It is.my candid opin ion, Judge, you are an old fool.” The judge allowed his mildly-beaming eye to fall upon the lawyer a brief moment, then, in a voice husky with suppressed tobacco juice and emotion, said : “it is my candid opinion that you are fined one hundred dollars.” - A women sent her hoy down the street for the following articles: A bar of soap, and a piece of music en titled “Waiting at the Gate, Love,” three needles, a feather, a bottle of hair-oil, a pound ofstareh, a mended ear ring, a half pound of candy, a cent’s worth of lime, a basket of sha vings, aud a paper of ground cinna mon.

Grumblers at Newspapers.— Horace Greely, in speaking of grum blers at newspapers, thus hit the nail on the head: It is strange how close men read the papers. We never say anything that anybody don’t like but we soon hear of it and everybody tells us ofit. However, we once in a while say a good tiling, we never hear that; ‘no body seems to notice that. We may pay some man a hundred compli ments, and give him a dozen puffs, and he takes it all as a tribute to his greatness, and he never thinksof it— never thinks that it does him any good. But it we happen to say things this mail don’t like, or something he imagines is a reflection on him or his character, see how quickly he flares up and gets mad about it.' All our evils are duly charged to us, but we never, apparently, get any credit for what good we do. There is a number of young men in Macon who have formed them selves into a sort of association for economical purposes. They do their own washing, eating and sleeping, each' taking his turn.

An Irishman took the contract to dig a public well, and when lie had dug about twenty-five feet below the surface, he came one morning and found it caved in, tilled nearly to the top. Pat looked cautiously around and saw that no one was near, then taking oil" his hat and coat he hung them on the windlass, and crawling into some bushes, lie awaited the re sult of events. In a short time the citizens discovered that the well liad caved in, and seeing Pat’s hAt and coat they supposed that he was at the bottom of the excavation.” Only a lew hours of br.sk, digging cleared the loose earth from the well. Just as the citizens had reached the bot tom and were wondering where the body was, Pat came walking out of The .bushes, and very good natur ally thanked them for relieving him of a sorry job.
