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. May 4th, 1824. Tuscumbia. Later from Texas. 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’.

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 tbis line, subject to various rates, lor w hich, see Foreign Postage Table.

Newspapers, 6 cents each, being also the full postage pre payment required. N. B.—Ail Letters to and from Foreign Coun tries (the British North American Provinces ex cepted.) are to be charged with single rate of postage, if not exceeding the weight of half an 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 payment of Biemen rates, and those marked' 4 via Bremen, at Prussian closed mail rates, &c. Re ler in all cases to the Postage Tables. Ibe mails for the Pacific leave New York on the st-h and 20th, Charleston and Savannah about tne Ist and 15th, and New Orleans on the 7th and 22d of each month.

James Campbell, Postmaster General. Post Office Department, December Ist, 1853. 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.

AUGUSTA, GA. *| THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. 22. f|See first page Daily, this morning. 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.” [Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun.] 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 f companies in that place. f The injunction against the Franklin Canal » : Company was argued, and the court .refused to i grant the same.

Tee Circuilo.—The Chattanooga Gazette copies the remedy for this fruit destroyer, fur nished by our correspondent, and adds : Many preventives of the destruction of the 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?.

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.
