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.

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 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 and cast it back into the flames. He was pursued by the sheriff and his posse, and captured after a desperate resistance, in which he wae shot in the shoulder, in consequence of which his arm was afterwards amputated. The writer, then a boy, has a vivid recollection of his appearance on the scaffold when he was hung by the sheriff of Cass county, in 1635.
