Mr. Editor . —The accompanying article first
appeared some thirty years since in one of the jour
nals of this city, and is from the pen of the late
Dr. J. G. McWhortrr. It has been copied,
and placed at your disposal, under the belief,
that tho perusal of it cannot fail to be interest,
ing to many of your readers, who wore hia friends
and admirers. H.
The following lines faithfully describe the situa
tion and feelings of their author, on a hunting ex
cursion to the junction of the Coosa and Tallapoo
see, which form the Alabama river. An old In
dian, of almost gigantic siie, actually presented to
his imagination the image he attempts te describe;
and could scarcely have awakoned a livelier feel
ing, if he had really been the Genius of the Indian
Nation, risen from his “resting place” to punish
the rashness of intrusion, or pour his curses on the
destroyers of his country:
Where Tallapoosee joins the Coosa’s stream,
A broad expanse reflects the evening beam ;
And Alabama there begins to pour
His chrystal flood along the cane green shore.
The wildducks here in countless numbers crowd,
And free from danger, sing their joys aloud.
A thousand geese there hoarsely strain their throats,
And Coosa’s murmur’s lost among their notes.
Lur'd by their voice, a youthful hunter came,
And moor’d beneath a willow, ey'd bis game.
The western wind just mov’d the rustling wood.
But smoothly rode his skiff th’ eddying flood—
Gray twilight her soul soff’ning influence shed,
And evening dropp’d her dews upon his head.
Struck with the scene, the hunter eas’d his oar,
And haply thought of bloody sports no inoro,
Watch’d the gay movements of the feather’d tribe,
How here they mix—how there they subdivide,
The drake’s proud movement, pressing on before,
His mates fast leading to the pebbly shore,
Tho gabbling geese in squadron, ready moor’d,
Where high and shaded banks their rear secur’d —
What startles now their over-watchful care,
And sends them wheeling through the dark’ned air ?
See far below, on Alabama’s wave,
The Indian’s plashing oars, th’ alarum gave.
Soon round the woodland head they spring to view,
And startle echo with their wild hallo—
Th' affrighted quatry haste their winged flight,
And urge their wheeling squadrons out of sight.
Now for the midland bluff they pull the oar,
And soon are landed on the shelving shore.
High on that bluff, an oak’s huge trunk was found,
Its boughs decay'd, and falling to the ground.
Long had it wav'd, the lofty fores.'* pride,
And pour'd its cooling shade on Coosa’s side.
But giant floods have laid its glories low,
And theso remains its farmer grandeur shew’.
Time marks all greatness with a swift decay,
And all but Virtue's Rock is swept away.
In former timos, these Indians' faihers led
Thoir shouting heroes by this river’s bed, —
Here pitch’d their camp, and there their war-song
sung,
While all the vales, with martial music rung
Behind each bush an Ind an Warrior ross
T’ avenge his friends, or triumph o’er his foes,
And thousands, when their wrongs wore once re
dress’d.
Here quench'd their thirst, and stretch’d their limbs
to rest.
Now needless prophet’s eyes their fete to trace— .
A heavy cloud hangs threat’ning o’er their race—
A few poor remnants of their ancient pride,
Stalk cheerless through the wilds with feeble stride.
No longer now the heroes of the chase,
That glorious semblance of the Warrior's raoe,
Thoir useless waste of years run hopeless by,
Without one deed of ancient chivalry.
The world has ceas’d their spirit to admire,
And sunk’s that eye whose glances ence were Are ;
Nerveless that form, which once in battle stood,
And snatch’d the laurel 0.1 the field of blood.
Disease and crime, their rapid downfall urge,
And force them swiftly to extinotion’s verge.
See up the bank an aged Warrior bends
His giant form th’ impending bluff ascends ;
Now high upon the oak's huge trunk he stood,
His eye keen glancing through the dark’ning wood.
When first it fell upon the hunter’s form,
Hii brow lour’d darkling like a threat’ning storm.
Thick round his neck his snowy honors spread,
But winter's pelting storm left bare his head,
Hie once the form where manly beauty shone ;
But now its bright proportions all are gone.
With frowning brow and clinched teeth, he ey'd
The hunter’s boat floating down the tide.
But still he stood, nor hurried gesture show’d
The storm of wrath which in his bosom glow’d.
He stood, as stifling strong emotion’s swell,
And would not utter what his heart would tell.
At distance now his aged form is seen,
While evening throws her dusky mists between,
And fanoy paints him with her hue divine,
Th' insulted Genius of the Indian Lino.

By the arrival of the steamship Mexico, Capt
Thompson, we have received dates from Gal
veston to the 13th inst.
Late accounts say that the Trinity, Sabine and
Neches are still low, and unfit for navigation.
The Planter says the Brazos is navigable, but we
fear it is only a tempor; ry rise.
The Hon. Thos. Butler King, and Levi S.
Chatfield, Esq., had arrived in Galveston on bu
siness connected with tne Pacific Railroad.
The News has the following paragraph in re
lation to the former of these gentlemen :
The Hon. T. Butler King, who is now in our
city, has contracted, on the part of the Texas
Central Railroad Company, for the surveying
and grading of five miles ot said road, commen
cing on the island near the city, which wiil take
it to or near the point where the road will cross
the bay to the main land.
We understand from Mr King that the entire
road will be placed under contract as soon as the
preliminary arrangements and surveys can be
made. Our fellow-citizen Col. Manly has ta
ken the above mentioned contract lor grading
the five miles.
Speaking of the cultivation of sugar. the
Matagorda Tribune says that Major Sheppard,
of Caney, is making a superior article of sugar
this year, though in quantity his crop will not
quite equal that of last year. This, we believe,
is generally the case. The season has been re
markably favorable for grinding, with just
about frost, enough to mature the cane.
Ihe Houston Telegraph says that a jiumber
of trees have fallen across and broken the tele
graph between Houston and Harrisburg, arid
the posts are blown down in several places be
low Harrisburg
A charter lor a company to manufacture cot
ton is pending in the Legislature. The works
are proposed to be erected by John F. Torrey
and others on the Canal, where there are supe
rior water privileges. This is a good move
ment, and we hope to see it successful.
Mr. McCulloch offered the following joint
resolution in the House, which was read°a first
time, and, it is said, will meet with little oppo
sition :
Whereas, in the settlement ot the public debt
of the Repu L iic of Texas, previous Legislatures
have adopted what is known to the members of
this Legislature and to the people of Texas, as
the scaled system, and as the people have at va
rious times indicated their satisfaction with that
system, and as we hold the action ol former
Legislatures in this matter to be wise and equit
able :
Be it Resolved by the Leg islature of the State of
Texas , That this Legislature does not intend to
interrupt or change what they consider the set
tled policy of the State; and that they now de- 1
claye ther fixed determination to adhere to the 1 d
same, as a general system of settlement with the t
creditors of Texas. ,
A bill has been ordered to be engrossed in the i
Senate setting apart two millions and a halt of ■
dollars as a permanent school fund, the interest
trom which shall be used in the establishment ot
a system of Iree common schools.
A resolution instructing the Committee on
State Affairs to inquire into the expediency of
abolishing the present license system for the re
tail of vinous or spirituous liquors, h*is been !
adopted in the House.—A’. O. Pic, 17 th insl.

Important Instructions.
The single rate of letter postage by either of the
above lines, (and the same in respect to the British
lines.) to or from any point in the United States,
(except Oregon and California;) or from any
point in Great Britain, is 24 cents, pre payment
optional. Newspapers, each 2 cents United States,
and 2 cents British—each country to collect its
own postage, whether t'.e paper is sent from or
received in the United States. [British news
papers usually come British postage paid by a
penny stamp, equal to 2 cents.) They must be
sent in narrow bands open at the ends. Letters
for the continent of Europe, to pass through Great
Britain, in the open mail, must be prepaid 21
cents, when the Atlantic conveyance is by U.
S. packets, and 5 cents when by British packets,
except from California or Oregon, when the sum
to be prepaid is, in the former instance, 26 cents,
and in the latter, 10 cents. Thus in the one case,
the Atlantic Sea postage is to be collected at the
mailing office in the United States, and in the
other left to be collected, together with the
British transit and other foreign postage, at the
office of delivery. Between Great Britain and
Oregon and California, the single rate of letter
postage is 29 cents.
Periodical works and pamphlets may be -sent
from the United States to the United Kir gdom,
and vies versa, at 2 cents of the United States
postage each, if they do not exceed two ounces
in weight; and at 4 cents per ounce, or fraction
of an ounce, when they exceed that weight, to
be collected in all cases in the United States;
and the same will be subject to an additional like
charge in the United Kingdom. When sent to
foreign countries, without passing through the
United Kingdom, they will be chargeable with
one cent an ounce or fraction of an ounce. United
States postage, pre-payment required.
Single rate of letter postage to or from Bremen,
by the Bremen line, 10 cents— pre payment optional.
Newspapers, each 2 cents United States postage,
pre-payment required Letters and newspapers
to other parts of the continent may also go by

Foreign Postage Table.
Single rate ot letter postage to or from France,
by the Havre line, 20 cents, to be prepaid on letters
sent, and collected on letters received. Newspa
pers. 2 cents each, to be collected in the United

ounce; double rate, it exceeding half an ounce,
but not exceeding an ounce; quadruple rate if
exceeding an ounce, but nit exceeding two oun
ces; and so on, charging two rates for every ounce
or fractional part of an ounce over the fiisfc
ounce. As this rule differs from that followed
in respect to domestic letters.great care is requisite
to prevent mistakes. Postmasters should be
careful, also, where the postage is prepaid, to col
lect the proper amount. They should be parti
cular to notice tne route indicated on the envel
opes of letters and to collect postage accordingly.
Letters mailed at some offices, marked '’'via Eng
land,' or ''via Prussian closed Mail” for the Ger
man States, are frequently taken upon the pre

The Printing of Congress. —lt appears from
a statement in the Washington Union that the
cost of the Congressional printing is by no means
as large as many suppose. It has paobably been
greatly reduced, just at this time, by the fact that
no extra fat jobs appear in it for the two sessions
ol the 32nd Congress, i’he following recapitula
tion, made by the Superintendent, shows the ag
gregate lor the two sessions named :
1 kirty Second Congress—First Session.
Printing for the Senate, (cost) $14,839 II
Printing lor the House, (cost) ...... 25,822 99
Thirty-Second Congress— iecond Session.
Printing for the Senate, (cost) $24,930 71
Printing for the House, (cost) 44,092 86
Printing of the Census, (cost) 15.909 93
Average cost. $125,595 60
The cost of the paper for all the printing in the
above aggregate was $191,056 27, it being a
separate charge from the printing. The cost of
the printing of the census will strike those with
surprise who have been led to suppose that the
public printer would make a heavy profit on this
work.

Angusta Raoes.
The annual racing over the Lafayette Course,
near this city, will commence on the 10th of
next month. Two races will come off
on Monday, the 9th, for aside each. The
first, between Mr. Puryear’s c. h. Highlander,
and Wm. Cheatham’s b. Compromise, $5,000
aside, $2,500 forfeit. The second race is be
tween Col. Hamilton’s Frank Irwin, and Maj.
T. G. Bacon’s Bill Hearing. The horses enter
ed in both these races are fast ones, and well
known to turfmen, and an exciting contest in
each race is looked lor.
In addition to the match racing, there will be
a number of fine stables on the ground, to con
tend for the club purses, which are very liberal
in amount. Among the contending nags will
be Niua, Red Eye, Maid ot Edgecomb, Gris Ed
mondston, Compromise, and numerous others.
A good weeks’ sport is expected, and a large
concourse looked for.
Fine Cotton.
We understand a lot of seventeen bales fine
Upland Cotton, from the plantation of Park E.
Arnold, Esq., of Oglethorpe county, were sold
yesterday by Messrs. Platt & Brother, at eleven
cents per pound. Mr. Arnold is one of our
heaviest planters, raising between 900 and 1000
bales of Cotton annually, and is noted for the
pains with which his crops are handled.
Mnemonics.
Miss Parker has returned to this city, and in
the course of the next week, will open a class
for the purpose of teaching the useful science of
Memory. She gave her first lecture in this city
some months ago, but since then she has taught
in several towns in the interior, and brings with
} her good testimonials as to her success. She is
a lady of fine libeiary attainments, and deserves
5 encouragement from our citizens.
Hon. Howell Cobb. —This gentleman (says
the Federal Union) addressed the Democratic
party at the Capitol last night. This paper
went to press too early to give an account of the
9 speech. We shall be pleased to lay the speech,
or an abstract ot it, before our readers in our
. next issue.
Warrenton, Milledgeville and Macon
Railroad. —The Federal Union of the 20th inst.
says—Ths books for subscription to this Rail
road are now open, and we hope that the Stock
will soon be taken that the work may be com
menced immediately. Good judges are of the
opinion that the Stock will be as valuable as any
in the State. Whoever will examine a Map of
the State in connection with the report of the
Engineer will see that this Road will supply an
important link in the great line of travel from
North to South, and when it is finished travel
and the mail will resume the old xMetropolitan
route from which it has been diverted only for
the want of this road. A largo portion of the
way freight on the Georgia Road is supplied from
that portion of country between Warrenton and
Covington. The Warrenton and iVlacon Road
will run about the same distance thiough as good
a country, and will furnish as much freight, and
besides the Eatonton Branch W'ill become a
feeder to this road. Those who have money to
purchase stock we believe cannot find a more
safe and profitable investment than in the War
renton and Macon Railroad,
The problem as to the success of the Caloric
ship Ericcson approaches a solution. The en
gine is said to be now so nearly completed, that
a trial trip w'ill probably be made from New
York to-day or to-morrow. The Journal of
Commerce says that experiments already made
show that the desired amount of pressure may
be easily obtained, and lull reliance is had that
the ship will attain a speed equal to at least
nine miles an hour. It is aiso said that it has
been determined to place the Ericcson on the
route between New York and Havre, as an in
pendent steamer, to replace the temporary va
cancy occasioned by the destruction of the
Humboldt.
Kossuth, it is said, is earnestly preparing, in
London, for the eventualities of a general Eu
ropean war. When the new steamship 44 Gold
en Age” was at Liverpool recently, Kossuth
went down from London to see Mr. Howard,
her owner, with a view to negotiate for that
splendid vessel. He wanted her to go up the Med
itteranean. expecting that the beginning ot the
cataclasm would render uecessary a revolution
ary force in that quarter. For some days the
matter was kept in suspense, but the outbreak did
not occur so soon as was anticipated, and accord
ingly the 44 Golden Age” went to California.
The Columbia Carolinian learns that on
Thursday evening the bill chartering the Co
lumbia and Hamburg railroad passed its second
reading in the House ; and that the House re
jected the Senate bill, amending and modifying
the present law in relation to colored seamen.
We learn from the Liverpool papers, that the
new steam ship, City of Baltimore, for the Phil
adelphia and Liverpool line, lately contracted
for in Glasgow, will be about eighty feet longer
than the City of Glasgow, and thifty leet longer
than the Great Britain, the object being to in
sure increased speed. The buildors are Messrs.
Todd & McGregor, of Glasgow, who construc
ted the City of Glasgow, the City of Manches
ter, and who are now engaged on the City of
Philadelphia. These four commodious steamer*)
built in the best manner will make a regular se
mi-monthly line between Philadelphia and Liv
erpool, and add greatly to the accommodations of
the merchants of that city.
The Boston Courier of Saturday last, in com
menting upon the present high price of Butter,
assigns as one cause for it, the enormous quanti
ty of the article which is shipped to California
—it states that on the 15th of last month the
I enormous quantity in the market of San Fran
| cisco amounted to five and a half millions of
pounds , where it is selling for one half the cost
and charges of shipping it; and yet in the face
of all this, the Eastern merchants are continuing
to ship it at the rate of 8000 to 15,000 firkins per
month; whilst the consumption there does not
exceed 9000 firkins per month.
All a Hoax. —The martyrdom of a little Nor
wegian boy named Iverson at Chicago, for re
fusing to steal, turns out to be ajhoax, and aikin
to ,the “pons frauds” chronicled among the
superstitutious of old. A boy of this name, how
ever, was drowned, and a jury of his own coun
try men mostly decided that his death was purely
accidental. We derive these facts from the
Chicago Tribune, The sum of $1,200 had been
collected to build a monument to the supposed
martyr.
Letters from the Saline Fork of the Arkansas
state that Col. Fremont had arrived there on the
31st of October, on his way to the Pacific. Tiw
services of Col. Fremont would be valuable to |
the Government, if he were placed in charge of
the Central Expedition as to Captain
Gunnison. All parties are now awaiting the
result of the examinations of the three promi- '
nent routes to the Pacific from the Mississippi.
Fraud on the Post Office. —The Postmas
ter at Cincinnati has detected an ingenious at
tempt at fraud. What appeared to be a large
pamphlet, the leaves protruding at the ends of
the envelope, was received at the office. On re
moving the envelope, the centre of the book be
tween the covers was found to have been cut
away, and five dozen of silk gloves and four
dozen packages of needles packed nicely in the
space.
The Cholera, by last advices from Paris, has
broken out in that city, but not much maligni
ty, as yet. We are sorry to say, also, that the
disease has made its appearance in Ireland The
Cork Examiner of the '2oth says:
“We regret-to state, from accounts we have
received, and which, from the sources they are
derived from, we cannot discredit, that Asiatic
cholera has made its appearance in the city. As
yet, all the cases have been in those localities of
the city which are distinguishable lor their filth
and squalor.”

Salem, > Mass., Dec. 18.— Late from Buenos
Ayres and Montevideo. —The barque Argentine
arrived here yesterday, with advices from Bue
nos Ayres to the 17th, and Montevideo to the
22d ult.
On the 2d December, on her passage, she
spoke the ship Ellersley, of Philadelphia, bear
ing for Bermuda, with the loss of sails, spars, and
her head mainmast sprung. She was, however:
in no immediate danger
It seems that Dr. Torris and General Paez
have both declined re-appointment to offices
which had been tendered them.
The advices tromMontevideo were satisfactory
and favorable. Political affairs were in a more
settled state. The late President still remained
on board a French man of war in port. He had
issued a pretest against the movement which
drove him from office and power. He claims
that the proceedings were undignified and unbe
coming the people, and contrary to all honorable
stipulations.
Business was in a better condition and im
, proving. Coffee firm.
i New York, Dec. IS.— The Street Preaching
’ Excitement—No Riot. —There were apprehen
sions that trouble might occur here to-day, grow
ing out of the recent excitement in regard to
pub'ic street preaching, &c. I am glad to inform
; you, however, that it all passed off harmoniously
r and in good order. No attempt whatever was
j made towards riot. A very large body of persons,
numbering in all probably fifty thousand, as
i sembled in the vicinity of where the preacher
r held forth, “determined,” it was said, “that the
missionary should enjoy end exercise the liberty
of speech guaranteed to every citizen of the U.
i States,” which he did without molestation. After
services the crowd dispersed in good order, and
all passed off quietly. Three regiments of troops
" have been under arms all day.
c Pittsburg, Dec. 17.— -Erie Railroad Difficul
. ties — Injunction Granted. —The Court have grant
, ed an injunction against the people of Erie, re
straining them from interfering with the railroad

plum by the Circulio, have been suggested and
tried, but this is the only one we ever knew to
be certain. For several years, we have lost our
crop of plums by the depredations of the rascal
ly insect, until last year. Having a white
washer in our yard, we made him sprinkle a
tree, then full of nearly grown plums with strong
lime water only. Much to our gratification,
the whole of the fruit ripened. The next
season, we shall follow the above directions, and
also plant out a number of scions, as we considei
the plum the best fruit that grows in our cli
mate, and hits as often, if not more so, than
other common fruit?.

Wonderful and Extraordinary Cure
SW of Rheumatism of twenty years’ stand
ing—Never in my life have I had so much pleasuro
in doing any thing as in giving this certificate to
tho world, and I hope it may be the cause of thou
sands of my fellow creatures being relieved from
that dreadful disease, Rheumatism. My wife has
been afflicted with it for twenty years, most of tho
time suffering excruciating pains in every part
of hor body. Having no appetite whatever, sho
was reduced to almost a skeleton. So violent were
the pains that sho seldom could sleep without tak
ing large doses of opium. Every joint was swelled
very much, and her knees, hands and neck covered
with large lumps. Sho could do no kind of work,
the sinews and muscles being so hard and contract
ed that her limbs wore drawn together, so that she
was obiged to be in bed constantly. In this condi
tion she had been for twenty years, without ever
getting any relief from every thing she used, until
she commenced tho use of H. G. Farrell’s Arabian
Liniment, tho first bottle of which produced a great
change. Sho has now used five bottles, and tho
swellings havo nearly all gone down ; p;iin has en
tirely left her; sho sleeps well and soundly; is
more fleshy than evor sho was in hor life ; has an
excellent appetite, and spins and sews all day. By
tho use of a few bottles moro sho mus bo as well as
evor she was. If any ono doubts this wonderful
cure, ho has only to call at my residence, near Pe
oria, and learn the circumstances from my wife’s
own lips, or he can further enquire of any of my
neighbors. Samuel Elson.
H. G. Farrell's Liniment is also an excellent rem
edy for palsy, sprains, bruises, cramps, chilblains,
burns, pains, toothache, sore eyes, etc., and in
horses or cattle is the best remedy in tho world
where an external application ia required.
Look out for Counterfeits. —Tho public are cau
tionedagainst another counterfeit, which has late
ly made its appoaranco, called W. B. Farrell’s Ara
bian Linimont, the most dangerous of all tho coun
terfeits, because his having the name of Parrel-,
many will buy it in good faith, without tho knov -
ledge that a counterfeit oxists, and thoy will, per
haps, only discover their error when the spurious
mixture has wrought its evil effects.
