S INCE the last Season I have radi- cally changed the appearance of my place. 1 have arranged nty build- M ings in such a manner as will conduce most to the convenience and comfort of my guests. Tbe Bathing Houses are in good repair, and an ample supply of [litre water in readiness. There are FOUR 8I‘R1NG8 immediately on the campus—Chalybeate, Sulphur, and Free Stone The excellence of these waters, especially the Chalybeate, in the cure of Chronic Diarikeca, Dyspepsia, Kidney and Eruptive Diseases, lias been tested too often, and their curative powers too widely known, to require any extended ac count of them. To all those who are generally debilitated tlie Chalybeate water is earnestly recommended, from whatever cause the debility may have originated. It is also an invaluable remedy fora great many of tim diseases to whieh the fi male constitution is subject. To those who have not, and wish an ap petite, I say Come and Brink at thr Fount of \atiiro. To all those who are sc king pleasure, pleasant temperature, and pure air, we emphatically say “here is the place." We have bad visitors who have been to the various Watering Places at the North in quest of health, who found no relief until they came to these Springs. l’he Chalybeate Springs are situated in Mer- ri wet her County,2n miles from Geneva (on the Muscogee Railroad,) also the same distance front Thomaston (the terminus of the Bart Thomaston Railroad.) There will be a DAILY LINE OF COACHES from both these places TO THE SPRINGS. I also take the liberty here to state that the WARM SPRINGS are in readiness for the ac commodation of Visitors. They are only? miles fn.tn ti e Chalybeate, to and from which there will be daily Coaches.

The Englirh papers received by the Steamer Canada are largely occupied with accounts of the fall of Lucknow, and descriptions of the rich plunder obtained by the British army in India. The palaces of Lucknow were filled with eviden ces of barbaric magnificence—by the richest car pets by sumptuous divans, by cushions covered with golden embroidery, by rich screens of Cash- mere shawls, am! by table covers ponderous with peat Is and gold 'I be following passage is from the letter of the correspondent of the Loudon Times: “The Kaiserbagh cannot be described. The place is a series ot palaces, kiosks, mosques, all of fanciful Oriental architecture—seme light and graceful, others merely fantastic and curious, aud connected generally by long corridors arched and open in the front, or by extensive wings, which enclose the courts and gardens contained within the outer walls. Iu every room throughout the endless series there was a profusion of mirrors in ponderous gilt frames. A universal gilding of cornices, furniture, and everything that would bear the process, seemed tlie prevailing taste of the royal court. From every ceiling hung glass chandeliers of every age. form, color aud design. As to the furniture, in many instances it looked Jike collections from the lumber rooms of all the old palaces iu Europe—Louis Quartze clocks and cabinets, Renaissance mirrors and chairs, buhl walked ebony chests, niavqueterie tables solid lumpy old German state chairs, gilt all over; but these were relieved by tho richest carpets, by sumptuous divans, by cushions covered with gold en embroidery, by rich screens of Cashmere shawls, aud by table covers ponderous with pearls and gold. Iu some of the rooms there were a few good pictures, said to be by Sir Joshua Reynolds, Zoffany and Beecliy, but 1 did not see any traces of Sir Joshua on the walls when I entered, and there was only one picture which looked at all like a Lawrence. There were numerous portraints of the present and former Kings of Ouue, and oil copies of the portaits of Governor General, of Wellington, Nel- son, George IV aud Bonaparte, many Chinese drawings, French crayons and English engravings of all sorts, even those from Williamson’s Wild Sports of the East, an old and almost forgotten book on tiger hunting, in gorgeous frames, but the hand of the spoiler was heavy among them all Those hung out of the teach of the musket stock and bayonet were scarcely safe from a bullet or the leg of a table. Down came chandeliers in a tinkling, clattering rain of glass—crash! crash! crash! doors and window, and mirror andpen- dttle! tSikh end soldier were revelling in destruc tion and delirious with plunder and mischief. Those who could not get in at once to carry on the work, searching th * corridors, battered off the noses, legs aud arms of the statues in the gavdetts, or diving into cellars, either made their fortunes by the discovery ot unsuspected treasure, or lost tlieir lives at the hands ot concealed fanatics. There was no tin. to guard against indiscriminate plunder, inasmuch as it was never expected that the Kaiserbagh and all its treasures would have lallen that day into our hands. Nothing but a photograph can give a notion of Luekuow as it is seen from the minaret or roof of this building—such a sea of routs, amid green groves aud gardens, surmounted by gilt domes and slender minarets, and all the strange combina tions of lines and ornaments lit which oriental architects delight I The large room of the Imaum- barrali, which seemed to have been used as a sort of museum, and contained many curious models of mosques, and many fine glasses aud chande liers, was a heap of ruins and every building bore some mark oi our shot and shell. Working our way through sikhs busy in melting down gold and silver lace in huge fin s under eartliern pots which served as crucibles, through wounded Ghoorkas staggering back to the rear, we approach ed the Kaiserbagh by the street along which Have lock’s rear guard marched towards the Residency. Our meu were iu high delight with the gay dresses of the eunuchs, which they found in some of the room-', and it was with dirocultv they were induced to take off the crow ns uf lace and pea cock s plumes, and bird of paradise feathers, and the swordbelts they stuck over their heads and shoulders. Here, as in every other building, there were quantities of kites, the flying of which seems a favorite amusement of these childish but ferocious races. Goats, horses, the stately Cyrus cranes, tame monkeys, apes, antelopes, aud num bers of paroquets in cages, were also appropriated by the men. In the m-xt court, which was sheltered from fire by the walls around it, our men had made a great •cizure of rich plunder. They had burst into some of tlie .State apartments, and were engaged in dividing the spoils ot shawls and lace and em- brodicry of gold and silver and pearls. In a nook of this court, where there was a little shade, we retired to rest ourselves, as there were uo means of approaching, the front part of the buildings being on lire, and explosions of mines feared ev ery moment. Two men of the 90th were in be fore us, and assisted by some of the 38th, we saw them appropri,. sufficient money’s worth to make them independent for life. The rooms of this nook had been used as stoics by the King or some wealthy member of his household, and each mo ment these men went iu only to emerge with a richer trophy. In om* box they found diamond bracelets, em eralds aud opals ; all were so large and bright and badly set, that we believed at the time they w ere glass. In another was a pair of gold mounted and jewelled duelling pistols, of English make, and the bill, stating that His Majesty the King of Glide owed the makes ii 180 ; then out they came with bundles of swords, gold mounted and jewel led. which they at once knocked to pieces for the sake of tho mountings, leaving the blades behind them. Next came out a huge chemical laboratory, then a gold saddle cloth, studdied with pearls ; then gold headed riding canes; the cups of agate and jade, gold mounted and jewelled, then—hut I must really stop this broker's inventory. The happy possessors of these riches were quite mad with excitement. “Is this gold, sir?” “Is that a diamond?" “Is your honor-Imre that's raal goold’” “Is this string of little white stones (pearls) worth anything, gintlemen V It was a great drawback to have a conscience under such circumstances—a greater not to have a penny in one's pockets, for iu this country no one except an old stager on the lookout for loot, carries a farthing about hint, and, as one of the soldiers observed, ‘these here concerns only carries on ready money transactions!” He was an ex perienced operator that geutleman. If a native soldier came in aud walked off with anything winch he found iu a dark corner, out pounced our friend upon him, rifle in hand. “Leave that there, I tell you. I put that there myself!” and there was something in his eye which explained his meaning so clearly that the article w as at once abandoned, and if fouud to be valuable was re tained ; if not, was “made a present of.” Close to us were large floxes of japanned work contain ing literally thousands of cups aud vessels of jade, of crystal, and of china, which the soldiers were listlessly throwing on the ground and breaking into atoms. Had the enemy made a strong attack on us at that moment, not one-half of cur troops could have been collected to repell it. And such were the scenes through every court of the many mansions of the Kaisbagh. Scenes Among tbe Mormons. The correspondent of the N. Y. Times commu nicates some startling accounts of outrages, as detailed to him by Mr. Loba, ex-Mormon liigh priest: “A few days before Loba left the valley, a Mor mon suspecting, with reason, that his wife—who was familiar with many of the dreadful secrets of Mormoaism—was contemplating an escape, went into her room while she was asleep and cut tier throat. Her body, the next day, was prepared decently for the grave, and buried—nobody ven turing an inquiry, however, as to the circum stances of her tragical end. For this monstrous act, Brigham laid hands on the murderer, blessing him "in the name of Israel’s God,’ because he had not ‘spared the sacrifice.’ “If a man has any influence with the prophet, he has no difficulty in having any enemy put out uf the way. He has only to go and assert that he heard his enemy blaspheme against the prophet, and his doom is sealed. The accused is not in formed of the accusation in such a case. There is no investigation—but the man disappears, and nobody inquires aloud w hat lias become of him Mr. Loba himself had a difficulty with one Stains, a favorite spy of Brigham’s, from whom heobtain- ed power to take liis life. Loba, knowing so well the under currents of the Mormon despotism, sus pected the scheme, and getting Stains into a corn er, made him confess it in the presence of wit nesses. Loba then went to Brigham at once, tell ing him what Stains had confessed, aud asking why sentence of death was pronounced against him. Young declared the whole story false, aud told him that he shouldn't believe all he heard, ad ding, instead of killing you, my brother, I feel to love and to bless you,’ which he did by ‘laying on of hands.’ Loba watched him closely, and saw that Brigham could not look him in the eye, aud f* It more than ever satisfied that he was doomed to destruction if he should ho caught oft’ his guard. “Mr. Loba states that a very brief examination of life in the valley represents indubitable evi dence that polygamy is destructive of social com fort and peace, as well as of female delicacy, re lineincnt and virtue. The subjection of women to the debasing and disgusting practices of Mor- monism. lias been reduced to a system. The pro cess is directed front the beginning to the destruc tion of tlieir delicacy, and subversion of their free agency, so that they may becoaae tbe merest slaves. They are told always that the more wives a man has the higher he and they are exalted in the kingdom, and tlie greater will betheii reward. By arguments like these, addressed to their relig ious superstition and fanaticism, aided in stubborn cases by a few screws of the relentless vice of poverty, hunger aud hopelessness, the instinctive shield of woman’s delicacy falls at last aud she is fitted for the sacrifice “Let us look iuto the house of Elder Orson Fratt, one of the twelve. You remember that he started tor Utah iu 1854, from New York, where lit* had been publishing a Mormon paper called The Seer. Mr. Loba crossed the Plains at the same time. Fratt had with him an interesting young lady, his sixth wife, whom he had found at the East. The kindest attentions were bestowed upon her during the journey, aud the Elder as sured her of a comfortable and happy home with himself upon her arrival in the valley. They drove up at last before the door of Pratt's house, which is rather a flue mansion ; but she was great ly disappointed upon learning that she could not even have the privilege of entering the house of the man to whom she had been legally united in marriage. She was shown to a small log house, with only one room, one hundred yards distant, for her future home. Before leaving the mansion she begged a glass of water, but even this she could not obtain from Mrs. Pratt, senior. Arrived at the log house, she found it occupied already by four Mrs. Pratts, with thirteen children all occu pying the single room. The poor girl died soon alter with a broken heart. “.Some time after this, Mr. Loba visited both these houses, in which, as high priest, he was al ways welcome. Iu the mansion he found the first Mrs. Pratt comfortably established and sur rounded by luxuries, with her two soils, eighteen and twenty years of age, stretched out lazily upon the sofa. In the miserable single room of the log house he found the fuur remaining Mrs. Pratts, poor, squalid, sick and wretched, with their thir teen little children. They told him that Pratt furnished them with the house, but no means of subsistence. They themselves fenced in the lot, dug the soil and cultivated it. One of them, a milliner and dross-maker, sometimes obtained a little corn meal in exchange for her work, and thus they lived. They apologized for not offering Mr Loba somelhiugto eat, but declared that they had had no bread themselves for several days. Orson Pratt stands highest in tho Mormon Church at .Salt Lake, next to Brigham and his counsel lors !” [Prom the New Orleans Picayune—Extra.] Billy Bowlegs and Hie Florida liar. The air of romance which attaches to the native children of our forests, it matters not- to what tribe they may belong, lias induced us to furnish our readers with a faithful portrait of Billy Bowlegs, the last King of the Everglades. Since J-35 the Florida Indians have occupied a large share of public attention, and almost fabulous sums have been expended by* the United States Government in a useless endeavor to drive them liuru their island homes among the morasses and lagoons iu the interior of the country. The first hostilities originated in the opposition of tho Mecasukians and most of the Chiefs of the Seminole nation to the execution of the treaty of Payne's Landing, it was stipulated in this treaty that the Scmiuuies should surrender their lands to the United States and emigrate west of Mississippi, in consideration of a certain sum of money which was to be paid them on their arrival at the banks of the river. About the time that preparations for their removal were completed, John Hext, an influential Chief, who had favored the move ment, died, and Osceola became the controlling spirit of the Mecasukians. From that period the minds of the Mecasukians aud of the Seminolett were inflamed against the whites, and active outrages became frequent. The most disastrous ol these was the massacre of Major Dade's com mand, consisting of two companies of Artillery mi,ill,* 2Sth of December, 1835. Fiom the date ot this massacre, the war was continued under Gen Clinch, Brig. Gen. Call, Ueu. Gaines, Col. Twiggs, Gen. Scott, Gen. Jessup, and Gen, Taylor, till 1^39, when Gen. Macomb, commander-in Chief of the Army, in vited the Iudiau Chiefs to a conference, and such arrangements were entered iuto as induced him to'jeueve that tho war would speedily be ter minated. His hopes, however, proved to be ill- founded. Shortly after the conference, aud in violation of its provisions, trains travellers and plantations wore attacked. Lieut. Col. Harney, at Charlotte Harbor, w as surprised while asleep. ,nd ot thirty dragoons who were with him only drunken swagger, “O, yes—I make him run like k—1, one time. The reply is curiously illustrative of the fact that savages more readily acquire the vices than the virtues of civilization. Shortly after the Haruey surprise, the Legisla ture ot Florida made provisions for the employ ment of bloodhounds to track the Indians to their lurking places, and thirty animals of approved breed were imported from Cuba. But among the waters of the Everglades they proved wholly use less, and the Government was saved the reproach of outdoing the savages themselves in savage strategy. In 1840 Gen. Taylor obtained permission to retire from the command in Florida, and Gen. Armistead succeeded him. During that year and the following, when Col. Worth had the chief command, skirmishes were frequent and the forty seven thousand square miles of territory occupied part in by the Indians were kept in a constant state ot alarm. During 1842 a nunber of chiefs were invited to a feast and were made prisoners while partaking of it. Another chief, with eighteen warriors, was decoyed on board of a vessel and secured, and great numbers of the Indians,*beiug thus deprived of their leaders, surrendered and Consented to emigrate. At this period Billy Bowlegs and other chiefs from the South, among whom was the venerable Sam Jones, “the Fisherman” came in to negotiate a treaty of peace. But Billy proved to be more wary than any of his peers. •‘With side-long, never-ceasing glance, By doubt and cunning marked at once,” he was cautious about placing himself in the power of the whites, and for a considerable time he kept the atttention of the government officers engaged by his rude but skillful diplomacy. Col. Worth, deceived by appearances and hollow promises proclaimed the war over in April, 1842, but no sooner had he resigned the command, which was assumed by Col. Vose, than guerrilla conflicts broke out afresh ou the part of the Indians. In these movements Ilow legs had the credit of being the chief agent and director, and it is certain that he resisted large promises of reward in case he induced his people to emigrate. Conference w as had, and Billy by this frequent intercourse with the whites, acquired quite a fluent use of the English and Spanish languages. In deed, he pretended to be quite a sarant among the redskins of the Everglades, and it is said that he obtained the prettiest of his two wives by means of a fraud founded ou Ids educational assump tions It appears that one of the braves of his tribe had a young and pretty wife, who attracted the atten tion of Billy, much in the same manner that the psalmist king of old was attracted by the beauteous wife of his servant Uriah Nor does tho parallel cud in mere “passional attraettion.” Each com passed the death of a husband for the accomplish ment of an unhallowed purpose. Aud in no respect does the case of tho savage appear worse than that of the psalmist. As the story runs Billy pretended to have re ceived a letter informing him that the husband of the pretty squaw was about to betray the Semi- noles to the whites, and he at once preferred against him the charge of beingla traitor. The brave indignantly denied the charge, but Billy showed the letter which lw had received, aud read from it in English, the most convincing proofs against the culprit. Thereupon the surprised brave questioned Billy's ability to read. But Billy replied, that he was willing to have his skill in reading and writing English, put to tho severest test, and if a letter which he would write in the presence of the chiefs of the nation, were not immediately understood by the officers of tlie neighboring Fort, he would himself stand impeach ed and allow the prosecution to fall. And Billy, with his wicked foresight knew what ho was about. When at tiie fort a few days pre viously, lie asked the officer in charge to write what lie would dictate, and, the officer consenting he had written, “I Billy Bowlegs, King of tho Seminoles can read and write the English lan guage.” Billy then told the officer that he wanted to play a joke on some of his people aud if any of them came to the Fort with a letter bearing his autograph, to read or translate in the words which had just been written. So when a messenger was sent with Billy’s let ter the officer at once understood and read it as per previous agreement, and the result was the conviction and execution of the pretty squaw’s husband. Then Billy comforted the pretty squaw and she became his w ife. After Col. Worth was breveted Brigadier Gen eral and returned to the command, innumerable pretty treaties and hollow truces were agreed to by Billy, until finally, during Mr. Fillmore’s occu pancy of the Presidential chair, he was induced by Gen. Blake to pay a visit to the great White Chief at Washington. So Billy, with a few of his chosen braves, made his first tour through the white man's territory, and manifested the usual indifference of theindian stoic, whenever eviden ces of tho white man’s skill were presented for his admiration. The steamboat was pretty good, but he preferred the eauoes of the Everglades; and the locomotive went pretty fast, but he had a littlo black pony that would beat it. When taken into the Presidential presence, ha observed to Mr. Fillmore. “You, big Chief, and I’m King of the Seminoles; Let there be friend ship between us.” After he had become tired of Washington, Gen Blake took him to New York, which he acknowl edged was considerable ot a village. One day he was shown the principal harbor defences, and he observed of the guns, that they might do vary well there but they would not be worth a rush among the everglades. On his willingness to emigrate, and a friend of ours who spent an evening with him iu the quar ters of Gen. Childs at Tatupa Bay, informs ns that he conducted himself in the presence of the ladies with marked propriety. But Billy's promises to emigrate were not ful filled, though repeated time and again to Capt. Casey, the Indian agent at Tampa Bay. Every year his warriors were becoming less in number, and his predatory power and prestige were conse quently diminished. The lust of Billy’s outrages which attracted much attention, oceured about two years ago.— It was the attack and massacre of a party with two waggons, under command-of Lieut. Hartsuff, between fort Devil,nil and Simon Drumm. Tha party was surprised on a palmetto hammock and all were killed with the exception of the Lieutenant, who single handed kept the Indians for some time at bay he firing from the shelter of a waggon while two of his wounded companions kept his weapons loaded: At length, bower, he was wounded in the right arm and breast, and concluding to give up tlie unequal contest, he ran for a neighboring thicket, where there was a pond of water surroun ded by a tall growth of rushes. Into this pond lie crawled and lay down in tho water: and though pursued by the Indians and called upon by Bidy to come out and surrender, ho managed to escape tbe notice of Ins savage foes, who left him to his fate about the time that a uew danger began to threaten him in the shape of a hungry all igator. Two days afterwards he was found by a party from Fort Simon Drum, iu an almost dying condition. The recent agreement with Billy to emigrate was never ratified by the venerable Sam Jones, who deplareil that two wagon loads of money would not induce him to leave. On the morning of tho 4th inst., Col. Rector left Fort Myers iu charge of Billy and the rest of the voluntary emigrants and captives, numbering in all ono hundred and sixty-five. According to Billy's statement, there were left in the country three parties of Indians—ono known as the boatmen, consisting of twelve war riors and a boy; the second Sam Jones's party, consisting of seventeen warriors and their families and the third, the Talabassees, numbering about eight warriors, with their families. The boatmen Billy left with great reluctance, for he asserts that they would have emigrated willingly if they could only have been found. Billy and his followers arrived at the Barracks below the city of New Orleans on the 14th inst., on the steamer Gray Cloud; and for a tew days the last king of tbo Everglades was lionized by the wonder-mongejrs of the Crescent City. But he defeated most of the arrangements which were made on his behalf by his continual drunkenness and his tendency to beg was rather inclined to moderate the admiration of his visitors. • Ere this Billy has arrived at his new home in the Indian Territory west of Arkansas; and the con test with tlie Florida Indians, which lasted for twenty-three years, aud cost the United States Government, directly and indirectly, a hundred million of dollars, may now be considered as at au eud. The sketch is accompanied by a portrait of Bil ly which is said to he a faithful copy from real life. Though by no means handsome, the features indicated the keen, cunning and determined war rior; and the dress, which is profusely ornamen ted with silver, betrays rude evidences of royal vanity. A Case in court—A Yankee dodge.— Some five or seven years ago a store keeper ot Thomaoville, Gat went to New York to buy a bill of goods. Passing through Savannah he received from a well-known firm in town a letter directed to a firm in New York. This letter was merely one of introduction stating that the bearer was a good business man; hottest energetic and striving to get along, and worthy so far of trust But the letter did not definitely recommend the New York merchant to sell to the Tbomasville man. When th** Georgia man got to New York he went into another store and in course of talk shewed the letter he had for the other N. Y. firm. On tho strength of his latter (though not directed to them) this new party sells the Georgia merchant a bill of goods on time. Before said debt was paid, tho Georgia party failed aud even tbe New York houso allowed all the effects to be disposed of without six escaped. Harney saved his life by rushing! claiming their share Since then the New York out from the rear ot his t< nt without waiting to dress himself, then running lor several miles and sw imming to a fish boat. l'uis surprise was effected by two hundred and fifty Seminoles, under the command of Billy Bowlegs, aud it was indeed tho first time that the hero of our sketch appeared iu any promiuent position as a leader of his savage followers. When iu this city a lew days since, somebody asked Billy if he know Uea- Haruey. lie replied, with e firm have sued the parties in this city (who gave the ThomasviUe man the letter of introduction,) for the amount of that bill, and this week a jury in the Superior Court decided against the New Yorker’s claim, making him pay cost of Court, Ac.” It seemed to us very strange grounds for tbo New York party to base their claim upon and wo do not think any jury could have bedded iu their favor.—Sur.
