Singular Adventure. I wu one day hunting alone, on foot, with a double-barrelled smooth bore, one barrel loaded with ball, the other with number two shot, in a rather (for that country) open »ood, when a large boar made his appear ance about sixty yards off, and not seeing (jny of his comrades, I lot fly the ball-barrel at him, and tumbled him over. He gave a fierce grunt or two as he lay, and a large herd of these hoars and sows rushed out of some thicker underwood behind him, and af ter looking a few seconds at the fallen bead made a dash at me ; but they were a trifle too late, for on fiist seeing them, Iran to a tree, cut up it for life, and had only just scrambled into a diverging branch, about ten feet from the ground, when the whole herd arrived, grunting and squealing at the foot of the tree.' It was the firit lime I. had ev er been tree'd, as the North Americans call it, and I could not help laughing at the ridi culous figure I must have cut, chased up a tree by a drove of pigs ; but it soon turned out no laughing matter, fur their patience was not,as 1 expected,soon exhausted; for they settled round the tree, about twenty, yards distant, and kept looking up at me with their little twinkling ej es as much ns to say, “We will have you yet.” Having made up my mind that a regular siege was inten ded, 1 began, like an old soldier, to examine the Btateand resources of the fortress, and ul- so the chance of relief from without by rais ing the siege. The defence consisted of four diverging branches that afforded a safe asy lum to the garrison, provided it was watch ful and did not go to sleep ; the arms and j on ammunition, “t/e guerre el rfe bouclie," were a double-barrelled gun, a flask nearly full of powder, TUG COURIER. THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 26,1851^ ‘j. KNOWLES, EDITOR. “ Should Congress at ang lime exhibit its purpose to war upon our properly, or withhold our just, constitutional rights, tee stand ready to vindicate those, rights, in the Union as long as possible, and out of the Union when wt are left no other alternative.” F.

HOWELL COBB. ir, plenty of copper caps, a few charges of shot, but only two balls ; knife, flint, and • o? h steel, a piece ot hard dried tongue, a small flask of spirits and water, and a good bun dle ot cigars. As to relief from without, it irdly t was hardly to be expected, although a broad trail ran half-n-mile from my perch. As for a sally, it was quite out of the question, so I did as most persons would do so sUunted, made myself as comfortable as possible, took a small sup from the flask, lit a cigar, and sat watching the brutes, and wondering when they would get tired ol watching me. But hour after hour elapsed, and as there seemed no chance of the pigs losing patience, of course 1 began to lose mlue. They never stirred, except one or two would now and then go and take a look at his dead comrade, and returned grunting, as if he had freshened up his thirst for revenge. All at once tt occuned to me, that, though I could not spare any lead, but must keep it for emerg encies, yet as powder and caps were in abun dance. it would he a good plan to fire off powder alone every few minutes, and fol low each shot. by a loud shout, which is a us one general signal for assistance, and, uu„ barrel was still loaded with shot, I picked out a most outrageously vicious old boar, who was just returning from a visit to his fallen friend, grunting and looking up at me in.the tree, and gavelim the whole charge, at about twinty yards oflf, in the middle of his face. This succeeded beyond my ex pectation, for he,turned round and gallopped away os hard as he could, making the most horrible noise; and though the remainder, when they heard the shot, charged up to the foot of the tree, yet the outcry of the old boar drew them all from the tree, and nwaj the whole herd went after him, making sue! n noise as 1 never heard before or since.— Remaining up the tree several minutes, until qjl was quiet, I loaded both barrels very care fully with ball, and slipping down to thi ground, ran away in contrary direction to the one they had taken, as fast as my legs could carry me. In about an hour’s time, a par ty of us returned to the spot on horseback und carried the brute home, after cutting him up, os he was too heavy to carry whole. —Expedition to Explore the White Niel. THE CAMPAIGN AND THE COURIER. The campaign has fairly opened—-the two parties have selected their respective leaders and unfurled their banners to the wind. The conflict will be novel and exciting, conducted however, wo trust, in good nature and cour tesy. Upon the new issue, Greek will meet Greek, and old Democrats and old Whigs will bo found side by side, shoulder to shoul der, battling for the Constitution and the Un- Both will v ant, and must have inteili. gence and inlelligcnceof a reliable kind.

Wool Growing—Wool Carding- We took occasion the other day to look in upon the wool-carding machine of D. J. Dykes, Esq. of this county. It is construct ed upon a nbw and improved plan, and is said to work admirably. It is the intention of Mr. Dykes at some future day to add a woollen factory to his establishment. Ab he has fine facilities for such an enterprise, we hope he will do so. We saw not long since, a lair article of cloth made of Cherokee wool. We think it was manufactured in Jeffersou county in this State. So far as our observation lias extended, but little at tention is paid to sheep-husbandry in Geor gia. Comparatively few have any sheep at all, and those who have them, pny no regard to their blood and the weight and texture ol their fleece. The wool is generally of the coarsest quality, and but poorly prepared for the cards, spindles and loom. We have be fore briefly alluded to the profits ofsheep-hus- bandry in the Southern States. A well se lected flock of sheep properly managed will pay for itself every year. In this climate they will yield two fleeces, which at a mode rate estimate would bring one dollar and fifty cents—or a nett profit of $1 per head annually. And then we must not overlook the value of their meat; for who is so unfash ionable and vandal os not to relish a leg of mutton. Floyd county ought to raise sheep, manufacture its own cloth, hats, blankets, shoes and boots; indeed, every thing her peo ple wenr. It is idle to talk of Southern independence, whilst from the crown of our head to the soles of our feet, we are covered with the fabricks of Yankee skill and Indus tfy. ment and plenty, will reign In every depart men*. fey.

A census-taker going his round lost full, stopped at an elegant brick dwelling house, the exact locality of which is no business of yours. He was received by a stiff, well- dressed lady, who could well be recognized ns a widow of some years’ standing. On learning the mission of her visitor, the lady invited him to take a seat in the hall. Hav ing arranged himself into a working position, lie inquired for the number of persons in the family of the lady. “Eight, sir,” replied the lady, “including elf7” “Very well—your age, madam. 9 ’’ “My age, sir!" leplied the lady With a 'dii ...

Is there any thing remarkable in her being of that age. 9 ” “Well, no, Icau’t say there is, but is it not remarkable that you should be her mother when you were only eight yearsof age't" About, that time the census-taker was observed running out of the house, closely pursued by a broomstick. General Jackson no Democrat We stated in oui lost, that upon old ques tious Mr. Cobb was ns good a Democrat as Mr. McDonald, whilst upon the new issue notv pending, we contend that he is a better one We have been taught to believe.in by-gone days, that General Jackson was viewed as the embodiment of Jeffersonian republican ism. It would have been dangerous to have intimated otherwise, during his eventful life. Twice was he elected by the democracy to the chief Executive, and his views upon the modern dogma of secession, and which were freely uttered, formed no impediment would seem, to the unqualified npproval of his administration by his political friends.. And yet according to the glossary of the new Georgia Democratic, Southern Rights, State Rights, &c. &c. party, Gen. Jackson' could not have been a democrat, for as will be seen by reference to another column, he repudia ted the doctrine of socessioh. Alas! little did the old hero think that his democracy would be tried in such a crucible, and tekel be so soon inscribed upon his political fuilh, by his old followers.

Leonard Scott, fir Co. N. Y. The Seoret Oat. Our readers we presume are not aware of all the dangers our glorious country has es caped, during the lost twelve months. Noth ing but the noble and patriotic bearing, the calm and conservative course of our own Georgia, has saved this fair land from ravage and desolation. We almost shudder in con templating the perils through which we have already passed; we are not without fear in re gard to those still before us. The warfare is not yet ended. How it will terminate the people must decide. We commend to the perusal and reflec tions of our readers the following article from “ the Spartan,” published in South Carolina. In it they will find two important disclosures —1st. That ifthe “ Southern Rights Party” of Georgialast fall had had “ a bare majority, WE WOULD HAVE SECEDED I” Mark that I and remember too, that this a- vowal comes from n public man “ of correct observation.” The other development is— That under proffers of assistance and profes sions of sympathy, there are not a few des perate and infatuated men in Slates South of Savannah river, who are urging South Caro lina to the commission of some overt act by which the whole country may be precipita ted into all tho horrors of civil strife. We say again to our friends, read the following, and tben act upon your honest convictions : TUG FEELING IN GEORGIA. let those who thiok so, boldly avow It, and join hands with her in destroying rhis Uu'on.

We are peimitted to make iho following extract from a private letter, received by a gentleman in thin town from a friend in Georgia. The writer has been for some years in public life In that State—a member of the Georgia Legislature—nnd has every opportuni ty of correct observation and Intlmnle acquaintance with the feelings und views of the people of that State.

The Central Southern Rights Association- The Macon Southern Rights whigs and democrats recently held a meeting in that ci ty, for the purpose of ratifying the nomina tion of Mr. McDonald, devising ways and means to socurehis success and the co-oper ation of the friends of disunion .generally ht the South, in schemes of resistance and revo lution, by the appointment of n central com mittee to correspond with similar associa tions in other States. But the most amusing'feature of this farce is, the attempt to raise u little political capi tal by feigning to be ignoraut of the views of the two Gubernatorial nominees upon the pending issues. And then how fa*r nnd ap propriate to ratify the nomination of Mr. Mc Donald, nnd pledge themselves to his sup port without knowing his position; and how couiteous to immolate Mr. Cobb without a hearing. Fortunately their decision is not final, nnd the people will be lixely to reverse it oflbctually at the ballot-box next October. But here are the resolutions and interrogato ries— Resolve,!, Thnt a committee of three be appointed by this meeting, to propound the following interroga tories to tho Hon. Charles J.

The speaker in a man ner peculiar lo himself defended the Order from the aspersions of its enemies, and bis sallies of wit and flights of fancy, were re ceived with great applause by a very large and delighted auditory. We learn a copy of the address will be solicited for publication. Tho music by the choir and band tended greatly to enliven the exercises of the day. The exercises being ended at the Court House, the fraternity, accompanied by quite a bevy of ladies, proceeded to the “Hilburn House,” where they partook of a dinner pre pared for the occasion, The dinner ended, appropriate regular and voluntary toasts were given, which we wil} endeavor to insert in ourrext.

We have no desire to deal ■ unfairly with our opponents. We want, if possible, the people fully to understand the issue before them and then to act upon their own enlight ened convictions. We hold in utter con tempt and scorn, the arts and shifts of slip pery political hucksters. They nre unwor thy a great Slate engaged in a great struggle The people have a right to demand and ex pect open, fair dealing upon the part of those who would instruct or serve them. Now, it seems to be the policy of a por tion of the opposition leaders lo catch votes under a variety of pretences and professions. Are they addressing an old Union democrat, they wilt tell him with a show of great sin cerity, thnt they are still battling under the good old republican banner against whiggery, federalism, bank, tariff, &c. Should they chance to fall in with a Southern Rights whig, (and there are n plenty of them) they will not fail to congiatulale him that old party names and issues are extinct, and that nil “ the true friends ot the South,” am ral lying under the bannei of constitutional seces sion. By such double dealing and hypocrisy they hope to secure the Stale, and then link her destiny with that of South Carolina.— Now, we are far from intimating that this is the system of tactics pursued by the more dignified and influential class of our oppo- nents—it is only tho small fry who take the “ Federal Union” and other kindred prints, and adopt them as their text books. We say to Union whigs and democrats, beware. Ponder well before you commit yourselves to a course so suspiciously espoused and so cov ertly urged.

The citizens had commenced rebuilding, undiscouraged bv. their repeated losses. Novel Suggestion- We find the following article in tho Charles ton Mercury of the 16th instant: Messrs. Editors;—As the Into Convention in Churleston has rendered it morally certain thut South Carolina will secede from the present Confederacy, 1 take the liberty respectfully to suggest-to the members of the State Convention that they name the 22d Feb ruary next es the day on which their ordinance of Se cession shall take < fleet. It in an epocli already cele bruted in our annals, and auch an act would increase Us renown. 1 would also suggest to tire young men of our State that they embody themselves into companies of some thirty or forty each, end meet very frequently for the purpose of training. Let them confine themselves wholly to the mamnuvresofthe company, (the buttal lion will easily follow,) and let each individual take the command in tun). We oil know how to bundle our armi, but very few could act ns guides or flankers. \\ e must learn to keep “ the step nnd distance,” espe cially when it is remembered that mors buttles nre wou by good nforching than by good shooting. Secee- sion will bring no battle, I believe, but at least let ns not belie our motto , “ Aniinis opibusque pnrati.” BACKWOODS. Now, we would veryrespecifully suggest to “ Backwoods,” quite a different system of tactics, offensive and defensive. We would recommend to the young men of South Car, olina, and indeed of all the States in the Un ion, to form themselves into industrial associ ations of convenient size, and resort to the workshop, the corn and cotton-patch, and with their hands instead of their arms, wage an exterminating war upou cockle and trab- grass; and we further suggest, that unless they “ keep the quick step and the dis tance,” their paternal guides flank them well with birch and hickory.

But suppose the Government determned to coerce SouthCerolina back into the Union,then tho Southern people ate driven into civil war any way; nnd when forced to light, they will never fight on the side of the North—for full well they know thnt “the Bell-same grave, opposition ia preparing for Carolina’s rights, will be yawning for them.” X have never heard a man of any party here speak on the subject, but thnt said, if forced to fight nt all, tio would fight on the aide of Carolina; and every hot-headed Di.unionist would flock there nt once, and with nrms in their hnnde and means at their command they would do Or die in the cause of South Carolina. 1 have heard many a man of wealth, an I Influence nnd standing nnd reputation vow, in public and privale thnt if South Carolina Be- ceded nnd Georgia did not, they would remove w.th nil their means to Soutli Carolina. A young man of wealth, on old friend of mine and a native of Georgia, did go into Edgefield District lost Fall, nnd buy a nlnntation end settle hie negroes there,simply because IC hoped South Carolina would secede, nnd he bow that Georgia would not. It ia true, aorao of your citi zens would run away as they did in tho days of nulli fication, but better citizens would migrate there and take their placea. 1 tell you tho Southern Rights par ty (1 don’t mean the Siatcs) wou'd back you with life and fortune, from the Savannah to the Mississippi river.

A strong Union parly will soon spring up in South Carolina—your strong men will be brought up—your Congressmen nre al ready under a bad influence, nnd if yon do not net now,und Hint promptly, the Southern Rights party will ere long get in the minority in South Curolinn Os well as everywhere else. And we may then give up the ship—for slavery will be doomed and the South degraded God may have a hand in all this matter; for it Is raid whenever He wishes todesign to destroy a people, He first dements thorn. And the groat ma jority of the Southern people do seem to me to have dr McDONALD, tho nominee of sold Convention for the ofllce of Governor. lost their forc-aight, their penetration, their senses.” The Right Spirit. At a meeting of the people of Scriven county, Georgia, held at Station No. 6 Central Railroad, On the forth Monday May, after selecting candidates for' the State Legislature, the following resolution offered byJ. B. Heyne,wee unanimously adopted;— Resolved, That in tho event Soutli Carolina se cedes front the Union of tho North, and that the Gov ernment of the majority should try to intimidate her from her just right to do so, we the members compos ing this meeting, do pledge ourselves in the face of the world to support her cause, if necessary, witli our ri fles to the dentil. Now to those unacquainted with parly tactics, it may appear somewhat strange that Mr. McDonald should receive theunanimous nomination of a large andinfluenlial conven tion, and afterwards be catechised as to his political creed. But what is equally surpris ing is, that before the catechumens have time to respond, they are summarily disposed of; Mr. McDonald accepted and Mr. Cobb left lo recite his lesson to empty boxes. Was ever liumbuggery more apparent ? did ever a rickety cart more evidently get the prece dence of a spavined horse, and both go it blind together? We trust Mr. Cobb will take especial pains at his latest convenience to pay no attention whutever, to the queries of these seif-consti tuted Gamaliels. As Judge Dougherty was present and ad dressed the meeting,wesuppose the following resolution was passed for the especial edifi cation of himself and other Southern Rights Whigs— Resolved That in the present contest we know no niun ns Whig or Democrat, but recognise ull as .Souther:: (tights brethren, occupying o o m m ground in defenco of a common right. There is one thing in the proceedings of this meeting that we are glad to see. We observe that old pnrty lines and platforms are openly abandoned. Let our Union Whigs and Democrats mark thut. A portion of our opponents have been unwilling to concede this. We clip the above, caption and all, from the Macon Telegraph, the great central or gan ol the Georgia secessionists. 1 he edi tor commends the spirit of the Scriven resolu tion, and thereby virtually commits himself to the mad schemes of Carolina politicians.— Nor is he the only one that is spiriting on, by flultery and promises of aid and comfort, that infatuated State. From the Potomac to the Rio Grand, a correspondence is kept up be tween individuals and associations, calling themselves “ Southern Rights,” and pledges ot assistance privately and publicly given.- Now the people should know these things. They should know also the men who are coaxing S. Carolina to take the fearful plunge into the durk and frightful mtelstroin of re volution, with the assurance that Georgia and other Stales will follow. They should know how far the individual who aspires to the first office in the gift of Georgians is in volved in this delicate and perilous business. U may reasonably be supposed that the Ma con Telegraph would utter no sentiment ad verse to the opiuions of its great leader. We shall see. Alt we have to say upon this subject, at present is, that if jpon mature reflection and investigalion the people of Georgia separate ly, or associated with the citizens of other States, are disposed to quit the Union aud launch forth upon new and untried seas, be it so. But we will not consent to be led blind-folded and bound to the precipice by circuitous routes—wo will not suffer men quietly to hood-wink and then ruin us. South Carolina is engaged in a good cause, ^ From the Milledgeville Recorder. The: Cut out of llie Bag. A few days since a certain militiq Colonel, not a great way from Milledgeville, and who had rendered himself conspicious for his dis union sentiments last year, met a fire eating Whig, and congratulated him on the nomina tion of McDonald for Governor—said that noto Whig and Democrat were done ; it was secession, or no secession, McDonald had been nom.nnted because-of his popularity - with his old party tocartj out that doctrine that the Convention had declared it, and suc cess he thought was ceriain—that before South Carolina'got out ofthe Union, Geor gia would be out by the aetion of her next legislature—that they had trusled this mat ter to the people last year, and they did not intend to trust them any farther ; that the object was to make the old democratic party the nucleus around which this movement, was to be made, and to effect that purpose they should rally under the old party numo, but they hoped that Whigs would rally with them and thus carry out their schemes.— And that he might he assured, that party lines were gone and new ones had been formed. formed. A few hours after this, our military friend Union democrat; to him his grid Wheat Straw. Now is Iho time for farmers lo lay up in store a good supply of forage for winter. The oat crop having been cut short, and the drought rendering the prospect of an average crop of coru doubtful, it.behoovcs farmers to husband well every article that will contri bute to the subsistence of stock next fall and winter. Wheat straw this year being unu sually free from rust, should he carefully sheberedor stacked. Cutand mixed with bran and corn meal, it will be a most valuable and wholesome diet for horses and neat cattle. In deed, many a hungry cow in mid-winter would be thanklul to get it without the trimmings. Bes'des it muy contribute large ly to your compost heaps. In Mexico it is deemed highly valuable for horses. We say again then lo farmers, look well to your wheat straw ! Before Spring you or your neighbors may need it. was unbounded as to any misapprehension between the members of the old party—de clared they « ci e opposed to secession—had adopted the resolution tit the Convention to cutch Whig vutes—had nominated McDon ald because lie v.us an old Union man, and when they should get the legislature, would provide well tor their friends, and begged he would lake no ofienceat what might bp said about disunion—it was a blind to get votes. Some t wo days alter, these gentlemen hap pened in conversation, when it occurred that the disunion Whig, not knowing the senti ments of tlie Union democrat, related the conversation with our Colonel. The Union democrat in turn staled what had passed be tween them ! Judge ol the mutual surprise of these gentlemen, at the hypocrisy .of. u man whom they had believed was an honor able man. The result however was this: the Union Democrat declared he would nei ther vote for McDonald or hisparty, because they hud avowed themselves aisuriionists’— The disunion Whig declared that as decep tion was the avowed object of McDonald’s friends, he would not vole for him, since he might as soon lie the dupe as any one else. This is u scene from real life, and it is the false game which the disunionists are play- ing all over the Stale.
