There will lx' uron the stave two glass
wheels, the contents of which can be seen by
all the spectators. A committee of two citl-.
sens, in no way connected with the manage
m-nt, and of undoubted integrity, having
first counted and examined, will place in the
larger wheel 12 600 tickets, exactly alike,
anil having printed nnmbera from 1 to 12,600,
corresponding to all the tickets sold. A sim
ilar committee, having first counted and ex
amined, wiU place in tubes precisely alike
the prizes, which are placed in the smaller
wheel. Both wheels will then lie turned un
til their contents are thor< Highly mixed. A
boy under fifteen years blindfolded, will then
draw from the larger wheel one of the 12,600
tickets, and holding it up in full view of the
spectators and auditors, its number will be
called bj the crier appointed for this purpose,
so that all present may hear. '1 he number
will then be passed to the committee of citi
zens, who will say whether the number bas
been rightly called. It will then be passed
to a register, who will file it, and record it
upon a book prepared for that purpose. A
boy of sifoilar Rge will tlicn draw from the
smaller wheel one of the tubes containing a
prize, which will be opened and held up to
the view of the spectators and auditors. The
value of the real estate prize will then be
cried and passed to the committee, who, after
inspection, will give it to another register to
file and record. The prize thus drawn will
belong to the bearing the number
drawn immediately before it. Thus this pro
cess will continue, draw ng first from the
large wheel containing the tickets, and then
from the small or prize wheel, until all the
tubes containing the prizes are drawn. An
accurate record of the above will be kept on
file, certified to by the committee of disinter
ested citizens officiating.
The prizes below three hundred dollars in
value are approximations, and will be deter
mined and paid as follows: The numbers .of
all the tickets sold being considered in a cir
c‘e, numerically formed, and having the
highest Dumber, 12,600, and the lowest, 1,
brought together, then whatever number in
this circle may be by lot determined to be
entitled to the capital prize of $26,000, will
be taken as a centre, on each side of which
the next three hundred numbers in numeri
cal order will be counted for the ten dollar
prizes, thus making on the two sides of the
capital the six hundred nearest numbers,
each of which will be entitled to a real estate
prize of ten dollars. All the tickets drawing
laiger prizes will be excluded, and the circle
extended to include six hundred on hothtidw
of the capital—being three hundred on each
aide—it being the purpose of the management
not to duplicate prizes.

A terrible conflict.
A citizen of Whitfirid county, Ga.,
furnishes the North Georgia Citizen
with the followings ~,
In or about the year 1843, the
writer met with Major John Seaborn,
whose exploits and adventures among
the Cherokee Indiant, in tbe early
settlement of the Northern portion of
Georgia, may be remembered by the
surviving pioneers of that period.
He related to the rttany interesting in
cidents connected his life and
travels among the natives. One of
these was a hand to lund fight with
a powerful Cherokee ImjUh, the de
tail* of which I well fenhsmber.
“I was,” said he, “at the time of the
occurrence I am about to relate, in my
25th year, and in the prime of vigor*
ous manhood. I stood 6 feet l£
in my stockings, weighed 100 pounds,
and in the games and atkeletio sports
of the times I had never found my
match—-nor was I deficient in those
traits of courage and daring so com*
mon, and, I may say, so necessary in
those perilous times, .possessing a
wild, roving disposition, I had left
my home in North Carolina, having
ho friends or companion in my ram
ble save a huge brindlc dog, a noble
and faithful animal, ever ready to do
my bidding. By a peculiar whistle
betweeen my fingers, I could call
him from a great distance, and had
taught him many tricks and
performances.
“On one occasion, whep I was in the
employ of a surveying party, we
camped at a point on the hanks of
the Etowah river, in wbat is now
known as the 17th District of Bartow
county, and not more than 11-2 miles
from a large cave. Near our camp,
at a large spring, there was A mis
sionary station, and with the mission’
aries a party of pioneers who were
engaged in the manufacture of salt
petre, which they procured from dirt
hauled from the cave to the spring,
and used in the preparation of gun
powder. This station was between
our enmp and the eavcj. <r
“One beautiful morning I concluded
to visit the missionaries, and started
out for this purpose along a dim trail
through the forest. I had proceeded
about the fourth of a mile when the
sound of human voices attracted my
attention. With the caution acquired
by long residence among a tricky and
dangerous people, I quickly stepped
behind a large bush and listened in
tently. The voices approached, and
two figures emerged into view not
more than thirty yards from me—the
one an Indian of gigantic size, the
other the most beautiful female my
eyes had ever beheld. She was seated
on a jet black pony of fine metal and
proportion. Her position in the sad
dle was most graceful. A blonde of
faultless form, features .beautiful be
yond description, and with long
golden, wavy tresses profusely bang
ing down upon the back of her steed.
As the savage held the bridle bits
with tomahawk in hand, a glance suf
ficed to show me that she was not a
voluntary companion in the journey.
Indeed, I had scarce had time to form
this opinon of the situation before all
doubt was removed by a sudden and
ineffectual effort on the part of the
fair rider to extricate herself from his
grasp by a jerk of the bridle, which
cansed the pony to rear almost erect
upon his hind feet, whereupon the
savage, still clinging to the bridle,
raised h>> tomahawk, and exclaimed:
“ ‘Hold, white fhwn,or%y tha Great
Spirit, my tomahawk shall drink your
blood! Me, tbe son of a great Chief,
m|pt have pretty white squaw in bis
wigwam.’
-“Here the of hi* uplifted
weapon caused a violent surge by the
pony, throwing the rider, who wae
instantly grasped by the fierce savage.
“With an almost overwhelming
itppulse of rage and fury, my heart
throbbing and my very breath sup
pressed with excitement of the mo
rdent, I sprang forward with the leap
of a panther, and with a yell which
so startled the savage that he loosed
bis hold npon the lady and made sev
eral bounds from her towards the
woods.
“ Seeing me, she exclaimed:
“ ‘Oh! eir, save me i Save me 1 ’
“The savage now turned and stood
at bay, not twenty steps distant.
“The pony stood trembling near
the lady.
‘“Mount! mount!’ said I, ‘quick,
and fly! ’ at the same time lifting
her into the saddle.
“ As she moved off, I faced the In
dian, who had turned and stood at
bay, and recognized him as the fa-
mous and blood-thirsty George Took,
known among the Indians as Unakv
yah-wah (white man killer). He was
an Indian of tremendous size and
strength, and of most desperate char
actel' i He stood motionless for a mo
ment, staring at me With a hideous
expression of hatred and revenge.
As I looked at his fiendish eye, and
saw a large tomahawk in his brawny
hand, there flashed through my mind,
for the first time, the immense disad
vantage of my position.
“I had unfortunately left the campy
on this occasion, without my pistol,
and had no weapon except a short
tainting knife, which hung at mv side.
Quick in emergencies, and accustomed
tb perilous adventure, rhy plan was
instantly formed. It was to induce
pursuit in the direction of the camp,
whfife did boiiid be procured; 1 be*
gan to step backward. He at once
diVined my object, and, with a terri
ble yell, sprdng forward; trusting to
reach and dispatch me at once. Be
ing df swift foot, I turned; bounded
forward, giving, as I started, a loud;
keen whistle through my fingers:
He followed with Velocity equal to
my own, and at a distance of about
ten paces behind me. For about onb
hundred yards lie put forth his uti
most energies, and then, as if despair*
ing of success, or fearing I might
draw him into ambush, he fadried his
tomahawk at me with such swift
fearful proximity to my head that my
cap was carried off, and the instru
ment, passing me, buried itself in a
tree somp forty feet beyond.
“Tiiis was a contingency I had hoped
for, and 1 suddenly turned upon my
foe.
“As we came together I aimed a
blow at his head with my fist. He
evaded me by a side motion, and step-
ping two or three paces backward,
rushed upon me, attempting to throw
his head between my legs. This was
a favorite feat among the Indian ath
letes, by which they often upset an
adversary, throwing him over his
head and crippling, or placing him at
a fearful disadvantage.- I understood
the move, and partially avoided it—
his head striking my knee, knocking
my feet backward, and staggering
me considerably.
“ Recovering, I dealt him a severe
kick oil the head, and threw myself
upon bis back, pressing bim to the
ground, hii face downward. He
arose upon his hands. I fought
him down by jerking his hands from
under him. I bethought myself of
my knife, and made an effort to grasp
it, without success, as the handle had
caught nnder my waist-band; and
while in the effort to disengage it the
savage seized one of my thumbs in
his vice-like jawß, cutting it to the
bone. This enraged me intensely
and I struck him several powerful
blows with my fist on his head and
neck, which cansed him to let go my
thumb, and by an almost superhuman
effort sprang from beneath me. He
at once turned npon me, and a fisti
cuff exercise ensued. In this, being
a practiced boxer, I was too much
for him, as he failed to hit me a sin
gle blow, while I planted several
stunners npon his short ribs and face,
bringing a free gush of blood from
bis nose. Seeing this, he jumped
back and attempted another run be
tween my legs, which I evaded
by a side spring. He then rushed to
ward the tree where the tomahawk
was sticking. I intercepted him,
and we clinched within three feet of
theeoveted weapon *, and now com
menced a wrestle which, for skill,
strength, and desperate qontortion,
was, perhaps, seldom equalled. His
whole effort was to force me against
the tree, that he might seenre the
tomahawk. Failng in this, he 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 ad
vantage.
“In one of these powerful struggles,
in which I waa 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 I held to him, he jerked
me to the erect position, still press
ing toward the tree. Throwing my
foot before him, he fell, and I by his
side.
“We lay at arm’s length upon the
ground grappling each other’s throats,
and each panting with exhaustion
and foaming with rage. Feeling that
my wind was failing me, and fearing
that in thiß inspect the savage might
have the advantage of me, I now de
termined to Afidtire niy knife at all
hazards)
“ Hitrliiig myself Upon him by a
mighty effort) I tllreW thy hand
down, and grasped thfi (falldie of my
knife —seeing which tid fittfired the
exclamation,' wall 1 ’ and filaflped me
around Jjie body, pressing nib tO bHif
with all his power, at the sanid time
trying to bite my facet
" While in this position, niy ifarid
upon my knife, and the Indian hold
ing tne around the arms hi a vibe-like
grip, an.Uy came upon the field.
“Bruno, mf faithful dog,*ilh a
fieice growl, sprang.to my side, and
at dilee fastened his teeth in the
shoulder of the savage. This datrted
him to loose his hold upon me.
“ In an instant the knife was raised,
and I alibed a violent thrust at his
neck, but his “hr m received the blow,
and the knife shivered upon the bone.
*' AS I raised to repeat the liefe, the
Indian exclaimed, ‘ Karnarla! karn
arlal* which, in the Indian tongue, is
‘Enough! enough!’ and, in broken
English, added, ‘Takeoffdog, quick!
Brave white man no kill great chief
Me give up.’
‘‘l restrained myself with difficulty,
at the monieiit, but seeing that the
victory was mine, A rfeVUlsiOtt of feel
ing ensued, in the thought that I had
triumphed in a struggle which, bnt a
moment before, was so doßbtful and
desperate; and I even felt n sense of
admiration fbr the manhood and dar
ing of my powerful antagonist. So I
accepted his surrender, and pulled off
the dog. Taking off my buckskin
suspenders, I botind him tightly
around the Wrists, and exacted from
him a promise that he would go as A
prisoner to tbe camp.
“Noticing that his arm was bleeding
profusely, I bound my handkerchief
aronnd it, at which he gave me a
grunt of satisfaction. I then stepped
to the tree, withdrew the tomahawk,
and pointed him the direction to go.
\ “Just at this juncture the fair dam
sel whom I had rescued, accompa
nied by two horsemen from the mis
sionary station, galloped up. She
bad, with almost incredible speed,
brought them to my aid,
“As they looked at the stalwart
form snd bloody visage of the savage,
and at my own somewhat bruised
and bloody appearance, and listened
to my narrative of the desperate
struggle, they gave vent to expres
sions in regard to my strength snd
prowess which brought the tinge bf
pride to my cheek, snd the beautiful
girl, unable to express her gratitude
in words, looked sweetly down upon
me with her love-beaming eyes, while
large, pearly tear-drops trickled down
her soft and blushing cheeks.
“ And now friends from my own
camp also arrived, and greetings and
congratulations were extended, and
acquaintances formed, which time can
never erase from memory’s page.
u That I fell in love with the lady
wss to be expected, and that she
should reciprocate, undev the eirosrn
stanoes, was most natural.
“She was the daughter of a mission
ary sent out from the Churob of Eng
land to introduce the gospel to the
natives.
“ She had been accustomed to take
her morning and evening rides. On
this occasion she bad ventured farther
from the station than wae prudent,
and the Indian, who had often seen
her at the camp, and was enamored
of her charms, had been lying in wait
to kidnap and bear her away as a
eaptive to some distant tribe, in wbicb
attempt he most have succeeded, bad
it not been for the providential inter
position just related.”
In three months from the time of
this singular introduction Major £*.
and the lady were united in wedlock,
and may yet be living in tbe State of
North Carolina,
George Took, the Indian above re
ferred to, afterwards committed mur
der upon a whole family in one of tbe
counties of the Cherokee Purchase—
we believe, the county of Paulding.
The dwelling was bnrnt with the
family in it, and when a little child
attempted to escape from the burn
ing building, the fiend picked it up
