From the Georgia Courier.
“My Peace I give unto You*”
There is ito peace in joys that spring
From vice mdalgal or time misspent;
Too soon such bloutsoms withering.
Lose all ilteir beauty aud their scent.
There is no peace in gilded halls,
That echo with the dance and song—
Xhe ia»te so pampere«| quickly palls.
Ami silken fetter* last not long.
It is not peace to thirst for wealth,
Or ardently to seek for fame—
The miser's clieek is void of health,
Forgotten is the hero's name.
There is no peace in look* that seem
As if for lasting rapture made—
The eye that has the brightest beam
Is often bu! the first to fade.
Then v. lint is pence? Oh! tell me where
This aching fn*art may find its rest?
My eyes are fixed on earth, hut there
Peace hath not built her halcyon nest.
Link up, poor trembler, to the skies:
A voice divine doth gently cry;
For he who dwelleth there doth prize
Tlie anxious look, tlie hutuble sigh.
Oh! listen to his words alone—
He bids those Rarful tremblings cease,
Invoke his aid, thou xwsry one,
And he will give thy spirit |»eecc. S. G. If.

BKRRY IK7CKLE—the fleshy one.
“’Twas J~at, not fate, fry which Napoleon fell.
There is a liule mail in this fit} - —there
are little men in most eities—but the one
now- on the tapis is a peculiar little man
—a fat little man. He is just five feet
each way—five leet high and five Icet
thick, and bears much resemblance to a
huge New England p-unpkin, stuck upon
a pair of pins. When lie lies down to
sleep, were it not lor In's nose at one ex
tremity, and hi.s toes at the other, the
spectator would naturally suppose that
lie was standing upright under the cover.
When lie descends the stairs, lie might as
well roll on his side, as fatigue himself
with walking; and, as for tumbling down,
is other people tumble down, that .is out
of the question with Berry Huckcl, or
H uckel Berry, as he is sometimes called,
because of his roundness. Should he
tumble, which he is apt to do, not being
able, to reconnoitre the ground in the vi
cinity of his feel, before he achieves a fair
start from the perpendicular, his corpo-
rositv touches the ground, which his hands
in vain attempt to reach, and lie remains,
until helped up, in the position of a
schoolboy, stretching himself over a cot
ton bale. Had he heen the cider Brutus,
in vain would the 1‘ytliia have advised
him to kiss his mother, earth. lie can
not lallon his nose—that privilege of mor
tality is cruelly denied to Berry Huckel.
These fleshy attributes worry Mr.
Huckel. He rejoices not in bis dimen
sions, and, contrary to all rules in physi
cal science, believes that what he gains
in weight, he loses in importance. It
must, however, lie confessed l*e Las
some reason lor discontent. He cannot
wear shoes, for lie must have assistance
to tie them, and -oilier fingers than his
own to pull them up at heel. Boots are
not without their vexations, all bough lie
lias a pair of long hooks constructed ex
pressly for his own use, and should a
musquito bite his knee—which musquitoes
ire apt to do—it costs him a penny to hire
a boy to scratch it. Berry is addicted to
literature, and once upon a time could
write tolerable verses, when lie was thin
enough to sit so near a table as to be able
to write upon it. But this is not the case
at present. His body is too large, and
Ins arms too short, for such an achieve
ment.
In general, the mind of man accom
modates itself to circumstances. We
become accustomed to that which is be
yond remedy, and, at length, scarcely
bestow a thought upon subjects, which,
when new, were sources of much disqui
etude and annoyance. Berry Huckel
himself, might probably not have been
troubled by the circumstantial fat by
which lie is enveloped, were he, in other
respects, in ordinary condition. But, un
luckily liir him, he is in love. How he
got into that melancholy situation has not
been precisely ascertained. It is evident,
from what has been said before, that he
could not easily fall ir. love, and the only
inference left is, that lie rolled into it—tor
in love lie is over head and cars—the ob
ject of bis attachment being Miss Sera-
pliiua Spliggins. That obdurate fair
cornfully rejects his suit, chiefly because
his figure is too round to square with her
ideas of manly beauty. In vain, he
deads the consuming passion, which,
ike the purest anthracite, with the blower
on, flames in bis bosom, and bakes his
vitals. Miss Spriggins sees no signs of
spontaneous combustion in his jolly form,
and Miss Spriggins, who is “as tall and
as straight as a poplar tree,” declares
that she can never marry a man who will
hang upon her arm like a bucket to a
nump. That lie is not a granedier in
iciglit, she might perhaps forgive, but to
be short and “rolypoly” at the same time!
—Miss Spriggins will faint!—But what is
life without Spriggins? Thinner he must
be—thinner lie will be, or perish in the
attempt. With love to urge him on, what
will not the burning soul of Berry Huck
cl strive to accomplish!

‘Tlxcy met—’twas in a crowd.”—
Gracefully glided the dancers; merrily
twinkled their feet, and joyously squeak
ed the fiddle, as Berry Huckel, panting
with his previous Terpsiehoreanexertions,
solicited the fair hand of Miss Spriggins
for tlie next set.
“Mons’ous warm, Miss,” said Berry,
bv way of a spiggot to conversation;
“mons’ous warm, and dancing makes it
mons’otiscr.”
“Very monsus,” replied Miss Sprig
gins, glancing at him from top to toe.—
“Hadn’t you better try a little punch?—
it will agree with your figure.”
“Punch!” ejaculated he/ in dismay.—
“Ob, Judv!” Berry rushed forth. He
Stayed but to obtain his hat, and to seek
liberal encouragement from the cognac
provided for the gehtlemen, and departed.
1 • • * * # •
It was not many hours afterwards that
Berry—bis love und'uninishcd, and his
knowledge refreshed that gymnastics are
a remedy against exuberance of flesh—
was seen with his hat upon a stepping
stone, in front of a house in Chesnut
street, laboring With diligence at jumping
over both the stone and chapeau. But
the heaviness of his heart seemed to rob
his muscles of their elasticity. He failed
at each effort, and kicked his hat into tlie
middle of the street.
“PIiqsv?” said Berry. “My hat will be
ruinationed to all intents and purposes.—
Oh! if I wasn’t so fat, T might be snooz
ing it off” at the rate of nine knots, like
other people, instead of tiring myself to
death. Eat a’n’t of no use, but on the
contrary. Fat horses, and fat cows, and
lat sheep, is respected -according; but fttt
men is respected disaccording. Folks
laugh; the gaals turns up their noses, and
Miss Spriggins punches my feelings with
a personal insinivation. It’s tiresome,
to be sure, to jump over ibis ’ere; hut it’s
a good deal tiresomer to be so jolly you
can’t jump over nothing, and can’t jump
into a young woman’s affecksliins. So
here goes agin. Wam’ee wunst! waru’ee
twyst! wurn’ee three times! all the way
home!”
Berry stooped low, swinging his arms
at each exclamation, and was about as
suming the salient attitude of the pound
of butter, which Dawkins, for want of a
heavier missile, threw at his wife, when
he was suddenly checked by the watch
man. who had no taste for the fine arts.
“Don’t baulk, good man—I say don’t
baulk—but now you have done it, can
you jump over that ’ere hat, lair standing
jump, with a brick in each hand—none of
your long runs and hop over? Kin 3-ou
lo it?—answer me that;” queried Berry,
as he blew in his iiands, and then com
menced flapping his arms, a lu wood-
awyer.
“Perhaps I might—but it won’t do for
us to be cutting rusties here at this time
o’night. You’d better sing mighty small,
’ tell you.”
“Pooh! pooh! don’t lie rcdiekalis—the
doctor says if I don’t exercise, I’ll he
smothered, and Miss Spriggins says she
won’t have me. I’m jumping for my life
and for m3- wile too.”
Why don’t you go ’prentice to Jeames
Crow, and lam the rale scientifics?”
“Win’!—’cause I’d laugh, and that
won’t do for me—you may laugh and
grow fat, but I can’t afford it. I’ve
jumped six lire-plugs this very night, and
I’ll jump over that ’ere hat afore I go
home, I’m be blowetl out bigger if I don’t.
Now squat, Charley, and sec if I go fair
Wam’ee wunst!—”
“You’re tuck up!” roared the Charl^-,
losing all patience. “You’re either u
noncompusser, or else you’re as blue as a
rozin. I ..... .i.- too’il a more quet*rcrer
feller since ‘Zaccln- in the meai bag’ de-
fiineled, and I can’t take tlie ’sponsibili-
ty of letting you run alarge.”
“That’s what I complain of—I can’t
run 0113- other w.13- ilian at large; but if
ou’ll let me rJoue, I’ll try lo jump it
self smaller. So clear out, skinny, and
let me practvse. Wurn’ee wunst!—”
You’d better come along, and make
no bones about it.”
“Bones! I a’n’t got any. I am a boned
turkey. If 3-ou do take me up, 3'ou caa’t
333- 3-ou boned me. I’ve seen tlie article,
but I never bad any bones 1113-self.”
This was to all appearance true enough,
although the watchman did not take the
joke. Berry is, in a certain sense, good
stock. lie would yield a fat dividend;
but, though so well incorporated, no
“bone-us” for the privilege is forth-coming.
“Yes,” said the Charley, “3'ou’ve fat
enough; and 3-ou’re snss\- enough—sassy^
is no name for 3’ou. You must go to the
watch’us.”
“Well, if I must, I must—hut if I get
the perplexit3* and don’t get Miss Sprig-
gins, it’s all your fault. You won’t let
rne slide on the seller door—\-ou won’t let
me jump over my hat—you won't let me
do nothing. Why, I can’t get behind the
counter to tend the customers,. without
most backing the side of the house out;
but what do 3'ou care? and now, 3-ou’re
going to lock ine up. B3' drat! I would’nt
wonder if I was to be ten pounds heavier
in the morning, cocked up over the mar
ket, nosing the.beef. If I am, in tlie first
place, I’ll charge the corporation for
widening me, and spoiling my clothes—
and then—for if 1 get fatter, Miss -Sprig-
gins won’t have me, a good deal more
than she won’t now, and my hopes and
affecksliins will be blighteder than they
are at this present sitting—why then, I’ll
sue the Mayor and the Councils and the
Charleys for breach of promise of mar
riage.” .
“Come along. There’s too 013113* sicn
obstropulus people as 3-ou. It’s time
vou was thinned off.”
' “That’s jist exactly what I want, I wish
vou could thin me off,” sobbed Berry, as
he walked to “quod”—he was fined m
the morning—Miss Seraphina Spriggins
continues obdurate, for her worst fears
are realized. He still grows fetter, al
though practising “warn’ec wunst,” at
all convenient opportunities.

IOWA COPPER MINES.
Lancaster, December 27, 1836.
In reply to 3-our inquiries in relation to
the Iowa Copper mines, recently dis
covered in Wisconsin territoiy, I will give
a brief geographical and statistical view
of that country from my own observation,
and information derived from unquestion
able sources.
The Iowa Copper Minot are located
about one mile from Mineral Point; and
tliirt\--five miles from Galena—-embracing
four hundrecT acres of land, in which
copper has been discovered at various
points, in great abundance. It js found
eighteen inches from the surface of the
earth, and increases in value and quanti
t\- with the depth of the pits.
The great road and mail route fiom
Galena to Green Bay, via. Fort Wiune
bago, passes through Mineral Point, and
a rail road has been projected, and an
appropriation made for its survey from
Milwaukee on Lake Michigan, to some
point on the Mississippi near Galena,
which passes through the mines. There
is attached to the mineral tract, which is
undulating prairie, nine hundred acfea of
woodland, covered with a heavy growth
of llie best timber, for the business of
smelting.
It is, I understand, proposed to form a
stock compare in the city for the purchase
ol these mines. I believe, from my
knowledge of the western countiy, that
they present one of the best opportunities
to capitalists to embark in speculation,
yet offered in Philadelphia. The real
alue of the mineral cannot be computed
—but from the quautity and quality of
the ore, which has been tested by science,
it may be considered the most important
mineral discovery in the United States.—
Copper ore found so high on die Missis
sippi river is a matter of great considera
tion. A furnace is now in blast, and it
onl3* requires the erection of rolling mills,
for which every facility is afforded, to
supply the Upper Mississippi and Mis
souri with this article, without the im
mense cost of transportation, on dint ex
tensive ascending navigation; and then
there is a safe descending navigation, on
the unobstructed bed of tbe Mississippi,
for the surplus manufacture, to New Or
leans or to the out let of that great national
canal, a distance of two thousand miles.
It is a fact, now genet ally known, that
no lands produco better wbeot tt-c.i raose
of the mineral region of Wisconsin.

MILITARY COURT OF INQUIRY,
Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.
Fbedkkjck, (Md.) Jan. 12, 1837,
The court met at il o'clock—alt present.
Captain Ethan Allen Hitchcock was ex
amined.
Question.—Were you with General Gaines
in the late Indian campaigns, and in wbev
capacity? *
Answer.—On the 18th of January, 183<F r
General Gaines appointed me acting Assistant
Adjutant General. He subsequently superseded-
the order conferring on me that rank, by issuing
another, appointing me Inspector G-neraL 1
continued with General Gaines through his
campaigns in Florida, and for some time after.
Question 2d.—Please to state the principal
events which occurred in tbe campaigns of God.
Gaines, in Florida?
Answer.—The army under UeiM*rnl Gainev
marched from Fort Brook, on the 13th Februa.
ry, 1836. Nothing of importance occurred
until the 17th—when wo discovered tits ruins of
some Indian village; they appeared to have
been burnt some time. At this time, I believe
there was a general expeciatimt throughout the-
army, that General Scott would be »*,!! in that
vicinity in considerable force. I was in venom
about a mile from the main force, when a loud,
report was heard, similar to that of a cannon.—
Ou joining the army, I found this report had
been tlie subject of general con versa-»r», and
the opinion seemed to be almost unanimous, thut
it was the report of a piece of ordnance, with
the force of General Scott.
On the 19th February, the army encamped
about ninety miles fro n the mouth of the north
bank of the Withlacoochee, burning one other
Indian town before occupying llie camp, which
appeared to have been abundbtied several days.
We found at this camp, the remains of Major
Dade and his lamented associates. The bodies
of the dead ware honorably buried, and thearmy
continued its march, arriving 00 the 22d of the
month at Fort King. On the 24dt a detach
ment of the United Slates’ Infantry, under
Lieutenant Colonel' Foster, was despatched to
Fort Drane for supplies and information. The
supplies at thut post however were discovered to
be insufficient for one company. Colonel Fos
ter returned next evening by a forced march,

Power of the Sun's .Pays.—Mr. Mackin
tosh, who had occasion to descend in a
diving bell for the purpose of laying the
foundation of a sea-wall, found the sun s
ray-s so much converged bv the convex
glass which served as a window in the ma
chine, as to burn the laborers’ clothes
when exposed to the focal point and
whilst the machine was25 feet underwa
ter,
I
have seen as fine crops on the prairie
lands, in fields surrounded by tbe miner’s
shafts, as I have ever seen grow in Penn-
sylvania, upon the best cultivated farms,
tilled by tbe best fanners in the world.—
There is a body of land, extending from
Green Bay to the Mississippi, embracing
the countiy of Fox River, Winnebago
Lake, and the Mineral district, which I
believe to be unsurpassed in fertility and
depth of soil. The Lake3 and the Mis
sissippi are now struggling for the maste
ry, and both points are tilling up with an
industrious and enterprising population
so rapidly-, that Wisconsin must enter the
Union as a State, within two or three
years. The material advantage given to
the Lake country is its supply- of lumber
—tlie government, veiy properly, gave
the new settlers the advantage of procur
ing pine from saw mills, erected on lands
occupied by the Indians, but which could
not be purchased—and thus they could
erect comfortable buildings with ease and
economy. But this favor has not been
extended to the people of the Upper Mis
sissippi, where pine is very scarce, ex
cept on lands y-et occupied by tlie Indians,
and the consequence is that tbe poor
settler finds it very difficult to erect a
comfortable dwelling, as pine boards are
selling from forty to seventy dollars per
thousand feet, and a sufficient supply can
not be found. The demand for lumber is
very great and daily increasing, ift conse
quence of the numerous towns springing
upon the Mississippi and the unebbing
title of emigration swelling upon the rich
lands of the great valley.
I will give you a description of Belle-
fuuntaine, Davenport, Prairie du Chien, and
other points, concerning which you in
quire in another letter. In the meantime,
1 have no hesitation that the Iowa Copper
Mines offer attractions rarely to be met
with in any country-.

Exlraoidinary Phenomenon, and Extensive
Cahuunity at Troy, N. Y.—An extract from
a letter to a member of Congress dated
“Trov, Jan. 2,” gives an an account
of a calamitous and extraordinary pheno
menon which occurred there on the 1st in
stant. A hill at the lower part of the city
slid down, covering houses, barns, &c,
with men, women and children, in its
course. “It covered up every thing half
way to the river, passing over sixth and
fourth streets to third street.” Great con
sternation was produced. The citizens
were all engaged in digging out the dead.
They had found eight dead bodies and
nineteen horses. Two children were dug
out dead, lying in a trundle, without a
bruise upon them; death caused doubtless
from suffocation. The water is said to
have rushed from the hill in torrents They
scene must indeed have been awful. The
whole city is thown into great distress.—
The letter says, “It is now evident that
the earth about here is valcanic; or that the
water comes from the mountains east of
us. The swamps that are not filled with
earth are filled with water.”—Compiler.

bringing with him seven days* rations for Gen.
Gaines’command. The Colonel was accom
panied by General Clinch from Fort Drane.—
On the 26th February, Major General Guides
resumed his march in direction of a point on the
Wiihlacoocliee where it was understood 1 that
General Clinch had fought the Indians on the
21st December. The army reached this point
on the 27th. While tbs General was reeonnoi-
tcring the crossing, the eemre and left column*
were fired upon bv the Serrnnotes from the*-
opposite side of the river—the baggage trail*
was halted and a proper place for an encamp
ment selected; as it was not the purpose of
General Gaines to cross the river that night.—
The firing of the enemy was briskly returned,
aodafter keeping it up for about an hall hour,
the General directed Lieutenant Colonel Twiggs,
and his second iu command (who bud been
appointed to lead the 2d Brigade ns a Tight,
brigade) to withdraw from the river after the-
men had become familiar with the new scenes
presented to them; or words to that effoei-.—

having sustained the loss of one kilted and sever*
wounded. The crossing at this point of the
river was retarded by the swampy character of
the shore in its vicinity. Tlie army on the 28th
moved down the river a few miles, perhaps two
miles, from the plane last mentioned. The ad.
vance guard was commanded by Brigade Major
Izard. The advance was fired upon, and its
leader mortally wounded. His force was sus
tained by two companies of the 4;h United
Stales’ infantry and a portion of volunteers.—
The firieg continued across the river, until be~
tween 22 and 1 o’clock. The Indian yell was
continuous all this time. Atone time it appear,
ed to be very greatly increased, as if by the ac
cession uf new farces. Our loss up to this period
was Lieutenant Izard mortally wounded on the
23th, died on the 5th of Murch, one Sergeant of
Artillery and two volunteers killed, and thirty
or forty wounded. On the 5th of March, at
10 o’clock, A. M., a laud voice was Itenrd from
tlie woods, hailing our cainp, and some one cried
out ‘ tbe Indians have had lighting enough, they
want to come and have n friendly talk and
make peace.” He was answe.red by order of
the General, that if “one of their chiefs came
with u white flag next morning, they should not
be fired upon,” the man in the woods shouted
“very well! we will be in after breakfast” and
bade us good night. On the morning following,
I think about 10 a’clock, Indians were seen
filing off at the east and west sides of our camp,
passing from the river and uniting in the rear of
us, perhaps six hundred yards distant and three
hundred in number. From this body-, a few
Indians came with a white flag. They were
first met from our camp by Adjutant Barron, of
the Louisiana regiment of volunteers, who re
ported to General Gaines that the Indians stated
that they did not want any more fighting. I
was directed hy the General to go and hear what
the Indians had to say. 1 requested two gentle
men to go with me, Surgeon Harold, of the vol
unteers,and Adjutant Barron. I told these gentle
men that I had instructions from General Gaines
for my government in the approaching confer
ence, that I would attend to them, and request
ed my companions to observe what passed. We
accordingly met nt about one hundred and fifty
yards from our camp, several Indian chiefs,
with their interpreter—among the chiefs was
Jumper, (understood to be tho principal adviser
of Micanopy) and Oseola, who was considered
a principal war chief. There was another call
ed Alligator, presont—the names of the others
have escaped my memory. Jumper conducted
the council on the part of the Indians, through
their interpreter. 1 had employed and brought
with me an interpreter from our camp, who waa
directed not to make himself known, but to listen
to what might be said among the Indians.——
Jumper at first inquired of me “what I had to
say,” I answered, “nothing to him, but that 1
had come to hear what they had to say.” They
then repeated the purport of what they said iu
the woods, on tlie night before; i. e., “That
they had lost many warriors; that they did not
wish to lose any more,but wanted to make peace.”
I communicated this to the General, (I will re
mark to the court, that my instructions from
General Gaines were general, not specific.) 1
had many conversations with General Gaines,
on the subject of the proper manner of treating
with Indians. In tliese conversations, he had
invariably declared, that he would not deal with
them on any other terms than the known ac
knowledged principles, which should govern the
intercourse of enlightened nations, frequently
declaring that the ignorance and dependence of
the Indians made it matter of obligation on us,
to deal with them humanely and justly. It was
in reference to these views, as I understood
them, that the General had directed me to con
fer with the Indians, observing at the same
tim7, “vou know my principles” or something to
that effect. In accordance with this, I stated in
all interviews with tbe Indians, that General
Gaines was commanding officer in our camp.—.
The Indians said, they knew General Gaines;
had a high opinion of him, and appeared pleased
to find that he was the commanding officer in
our camp. I stated to them that General
