DMTRKsana A> •Ain.—A colored man and
his wife, and five hildren, wore burned to
death in their cabin, on the plantation of Air.
\V. C. Ilnys in Dougherty county, on Thurs
day night last.
The fire occurred about 1 o'clock at night,
and it is supposed that the roof of the cabin
caught fire first, and fell in upon its ileejjing
inmates, before they were aroused to a sense
of their d inger.
The scene, after the burnir-g, is said to have
been most horrifying.
the Rump Congress was in substance, that
the Southern States have been conquered and
subjugated, and are entitled to no political
rights whatever; that they have no right to
be represented iu Congress: and that they
must be compelled to admit their negro pop:
ulation to equal political rights with the white
citizens. This issue was pretty fairly put be
fore the people of the North. The elections
took place in October and November, and
what has been the result ?
The result has been a popular majority in
favor of the policy of the Rump, of 362,000
votes. The result is perfectly astounding.—
But it proves that those few persons in the
North, who refused to support the war against
the South, were right. The men who took
the position of leaders at the North, during
the war, were Cottinually protesting that ; t
was a war for the Union. Those few persons
at the North who had studied the course of
the Republican party attentively ever since
1854, knew better. They knew that it was
being made a war for the conquest and sub
jugation of tbe South: and so it has proved.
Encouraged therefore, by this immense
majority in their favor, the Rump Congress
will assemble next Monday more firmly fixed
than ever, in their determination to continue
to exclude the Southern States. To judge
from the talk of the members, they are pre
pared to go any lengths towards oppressing
the people of tbe South
The President, on his part, although deep
ly grieved at the result ot the elections, is not
discouraged. You will sec various statements
of his willingness to make a compromise
with Congress; of his alleged willingness to
yield some of his principles, if Congress will
yield some of theirs, Ac. Believe none of
theie stories. The President knows that bis
policy is founded on the Constitution, and be
will not abandou it. He may be powerless to
enforce it, but if bis policy and tbc Constitu
tion arc to go down together, so bo it.
The foreign relations of tbe Government
arc in anything but a satisfactory condition.
Our claims against England, growing out of
alleged depredations of the Alabama, have
been totally and flatly disallowed; nor is it
easy to say how these claims arc to be en
forced. On tbc other band England has
made serious complaints against us for per
mitting tbe organization of tbe last Fenian
expedition, (tbe one which invaded Canada,)
within our limits; and now, lor permitting
the organization of another and still more for
midable Fenian expedition for the invasion
of Canada. No attention Laving been paid
to these complaints, the English government
is preparing to send over large reinforcements
of troops to Canada, and 17,COO brecch-lond-
ing rifles have just been distributed to tbe
best regiments of the Canadian troop9. Be
sides this, large bodies of English troops
have recently been moved to various strategic
points along* the New England frontier.
With France there is even gicater trouble.
Eight steam transport vessels sailed a few
days ago from Cherbourg, in France, bound
for Vera Cruz, to bring borne the first de
tachment of French troops from Mexico.—
This detachment will consist of 8,000 men.—
The remaining 17,000 troops will remain in
Mexico till next spring. These 8,000 troops
are withdrawn in pursuance of an agree
ment made between Mr. Seward and the
French Government, by the terms of which
Mr. Seward pledged the faith of the United
S.Ues Government that our policy of neu
trality, and non-intervention towards Mexi
co, would be continued. It is now alleged
by the French Government that this pledge
has been flagrantly violated on the part of the
United States—that our intervention in favor
of ti e Liberals of Mexico has been so pro
nounced, that Maximilian has liud to aban
don one-third part of Mexico, and lias been
compelled to concentrate all his forces south
of u certain line: and that so effective in
Mexico has been our espousal of the cause of
Juarez, that Maximilian has felt corstraincd
to make tbe most urgent appeals to ::he Em
peror Napoleon to countermand thi!> orders
for the embarkation of the 8,000 French
troops, and to permit the whole Ixidy to re
main.
There is no reason to believe that ihese ap
peals will be granted. In all probability the
8,000 will be embarked, and sent to France.
But it is certain that within a few weeks past
the most energetic representations on the sub
ject have been made to Mr. Seward by the
French Government, that Mr. Seward's replies
have been of an evasive nature, and that the
President’s message is being kept open in or
der to give the substance ot tbe ultimatum of
France, which is expected in a few days.
I suppose your readers have put no faith in
the absurd stories about the abdication of
Maximilian, He bos not abdicated, and never
had any intention of doing so. The depar
ture of the French troops from Mexico is an
event for which be was fully prepared, except
that he did not count upon the active hostil
ity of the United States, which has recently
been developed. Tbc most perfect under
standing and good feeling exists between
him and Marshal Bazaino; and the story that
the movements of Maximilian have been in
any way hampered or controlled by General
Bazaine. is too absurd for serious refutation.
In regard to the Empress Curlott a, whose
sickness in Europe is »o greatly deplored,
Maximilian lias acted as ant other judi
cious husband would act. He knows
that she lias the best and most skillful medi
cal attendance that Europe can afford, and
that her malady is one which requirss abso
lute quiet and freedom from excitement. He
has, therefore, left her, witli confidence, in
the hands of her medical attendants, and it
is already certain that she will sCbn be re
stored to health.
The act of Gen. Sheridan in arresting Or
tega is utterly inexplicable, and so indeed is
tiie conduct of tbe government in approving
of that act and in espousing the cause of
AN INDIAN" TRADITION C F ILLINOIS.
No part of the United States can vie. in
wild and romantic scenery, with the bluff of
Illinois. On one side of the river, often at
the waters’ edge, a perpendicular wall of
rock rises to the height of one hundred feet.
Generally on the opposite shore is a level bot
tom or prairie, of several miles in width, ex
tending to a similar bluff that rises porallvl
with the river. One of these ranges com
mences at Alton, and extends, with a few in
tervals, lor many miles along the banks of
the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. In de
scending the river at Alton the traveler will
observe, betwen tiiat town and the mouth ot
the Illinois river, a narrow ravine, through
which a small stream discharges its waters
into the Mississippi. That stream is the
Piasa; its name is Indian, and signifies, in
the name of the Illinois, “The bird that de
vours men.” Near tbe mouth of that stream,
on the smooth and perjiendiculnr face of the
bluff, at an elevation which no human art can
reach, is cut the figure of an enormous bird,
with its wings extended.’ Tiie bird which
tbe figure represents, was called by the Indi
ans, “the Piasa,” and from this is derived the
name of the stream. The tradition of the
Piasa is still current among all the tribes of
the upper Mississippi, anil those who have
inhabited the valley of tue Illinrois, and is
briefly this:
Many thousand moons before the arrival
of the pale face, ,\vhcu the great Mngnloniz
and Mastodon, whose bones are now dug up,
were still Jiving in tbe land of the green pra
iries, there existed a bird of suclt dimensions
tlmt. be conld carry oil in bis talons a full
grown deer. Having by some means obtain
ed a human victim, trom that time he songht
human beings as prey. He was artful ns he
was powerful—lie would dart suddenly and
unexpectedly upon an Indian, bear him off to
one ot the caves in the bluff, and devour him.
Hundreds of warriors attempted for years to
destroy him, but without success. Whole
villages were nearly depopulated, and con
sternation and fear spread through all the
tribes of the Illinois. At length Owatoga, it
chief whose lame aii a warrior extended even
beyond the great lakes, separating himself
from the rest of liis tribe, tasted in solitude
for the whole space ot a moon, and prayed
to the Great Spirit, the Master of life, that
he would protect his children from the Piasa.
On the last night of the fast, the Great Spirit
appeared to hint as in a ilreaut, and directed
him to take twenty of his warriors, each
armed With a bow and pointed arrows and
conceal them in a destined spot. Near the
place of concealment another warrior was to
stand in open view, as the victim of thc
Piasa, which they mu«t shoot the instant that
he pounced npon his prey. When the chief
awoke in the morning, he thanked the Great
Spirit, returned to his tribe and told them his
dream. The warriors were quickly selected,
and placed'ih ambush as directed. Owatoga
offered himself as the victim. He was will
ing to die for his trilie. Placing himself in
open view of the bluff be soon saw the Piasa
perched on a cliff, eyeing his prey. O wutoga
drew up his manly form to its utmost height
and placing his feet firmly upon the earth,
began to chant tbe death-song of a warrior.
A moment after, tiie Piasa rose into the air.
and swift as a thunderbolt, darted down upon
the chief. Scarcely had he reached his vic
tim when every bow was sprung, and every
arrow sent to the feather in his body. The
Piasa uttered a wild, fearful scream, that re
sounded fat over the oppssite side of the
river, and expired. Owatoga was safe, not
.an arrow, not even the talons of the bird bad
touched him. The Master of life, in admira
tion of the noble deed of Owatoga, bad held
over him an invisible shield. In memory of
this event, the image of the Piasa was en
graved in the face of the bluff.
Such is the Indian tradition; of course our
readers are at liberty to take it with all due
allowances to its validity. This much, how
ever, is certain: The image of a large bird
cut in the solid rock, is still there, anil that
at a height that is perfectly inaccessible.—
How, and for wliat purpose it was made, we
leave others to determine. Even at this day,
au Indian never pastes tbc spot in liis canoe,
without firing his gun at the figure of the
bird. The marks of balls on tbe rock arc al
most innumerable. Wc wereinilueeil to visit
the bluff below the mouth of the Illinois
river and above that of the Piasa. Our curi
osity was principally directed to the exami
nation of tbc caves connected with tbe above
tradition, as one of those to which the bird
hail carried his human victims. Preceded by
an intelligent guide, who carried a spade, we
set upon our excursion. Tiie cave was ex
tremely difficult to access, and at one point
in our progress wo stood at nil elevation of
more Ihao one hundred and fifty feet on the
face of the bluff, with barely room to sustain
one foot; tbc unbroken wall tottered above
us, while below was the river. After a long
anil perilous clambering we reached the cave,
which was about fifty feet above the surface
of the river. By the aid of a long pole placed
on the projecting rock, and the upper end
touching the cave, we succeeded in entering
it. Nothing could be more impressive than
the view from the entrance of tbe cavern.—
The Mississippi was rolling in silentgrandeur
beneath us—high over our heads, a single
ctdar hitng its branches over tliecliff, on the
blasted top of which was seated a bald eagle.
No other sound of life was near us—a sabbath
stillness rested upon the scene—not a cloud
in the heavens—not a breath of air was stir
ring—the brood Mississippi lay beiorc us,
calm and sinoothe aa a lake. The landscape
presented the same wild aspect as it did be
fore it had yet met the eye of the white man.
The roof of the cavern was vaulted, the
top of which was hardly less than twenty
feet in height—the shape of the cave was ir
regular, but, so far as I could judge, the bot
tom would average twenty by thirty feet.—
The floor of the cave through its whole ex
tent was a mass of human boDcs; skulls and
other bone3 were mingled together in the
utmost confusion. To what depth they ex
tend. wc arc unable to decide; but we dug
to the depth of three or four feet in every
quarter of the cavern, and still we found only
bones. The remains of thousands must have
been deposited here—how. and by whom,
and for what purpose, it is impossible to con-
jerture, unless there issometruth in tbe story
of the Piasa.

REMARKS—The low prices nt prr-cot prer.ulmg for
Cotton, and t'.« increased disposition of |l.int«rs to
store in preference to »o ling at present rates,continue
to cxer.-ise a dej.r.osiug influence upon every branch
of trade.
In our Cotton market, it will ho perceived, prices
hare followed the fluctunrinna of too I.iTerpoo, amt New
York jnarketa, though it h.is not fatten hetow trj cents
for the finer descriptions. So, too. we may say of both
Grc-eries, Provisions ami Dry Goods, nnd tho changes
will be found in our prices below.
COTTON—On Saturday the market opened with a
good den md for the better crudes nt R7 cents, bntwith

On Monday there us*, an IncTen*ed inquiry for the
i.-'-er yr, ml. ! u: i.tt!o it,..- r :• : , , f.
'ering. All put upon the market was re ...tU tak.-’i at
27 cents. Aaadvance bavin* been quoted in tbe New
York market, at noon, caused bolder, to withdraw f.om
the market for an advance, and the market closed Grin,
with s.n upward tendency.
The advance In figures, on tiie part of sellers, on
Tuesday, was oulv partially mot by buyers, who seem
ed unwilling to advance ilndr figures mote than a half
cent on the previous day'* quotations of 37 cent* lor
Strict Middling, and but little was offered at 'K% cents.
The noon advices from New York, quoting an advance
In itofh Cotton and Gold, caused buyers to yield a still
farther advsne , and 2d ccnta was freely offered for the
finer Cotton', with but little offering.
Though buyers were freely offering 28 cents at the
opening on Wednesda , holders were indisposed to
sell at that price— ihe sales being confined to small
lots, and the ma-ket closed firm.
Thursday being a holiday, but little was done—neith
er buyers nor seliere being disposed to operato in the
atwence of telegraphic advices.
To- 'ay, (Friday), ‘.lie market was dull, under the de-
S rearing news from Liverpool—quoting that mark t
eciined an eighth—and Ihe few soles effected were ot
the outside fig re of 27 cents.
Sales since our last report, 4tiS bales.
We repeat our qu lotions of 'ast week.

Genkrai. Remarks—Business generally hae Re.-n
rather dull fnr the put week, nnd the prices of the
leading articles in the grocery line have given way.—
Hie tumble in gold and the util in tbe Xnrth'-m and
>; extern markets in almost every article in the pro
vision and grocery line has caused prices to give way
here, though not to such an ext >: r as might lie ex
pected, though a still further decline ia looked for.—
There can be little doubt that the spiritofspeealntion
which has ruled in the North and Wi st. and ev en in
ihe South, in .tho neee.-'ari' - - f lif , ) •. ler-led to
keep up the prices of those articles until cow. but a
crash has come at last, and wc hope to seo prices go
down, down, down, until legitimate figure.-, or some
thing like them, aro reached.

Bacon—The market for Bhcoii during the paat * ock
lias been very irregular, and bu few transaciiona have
taken place. The slock on sale i* qniie large, but we
ara unable to give quotations, owing to tiie gnat irregu

article. Tlio demand continues moderately fair, and
prices remain about <lie same, viz: fi r prime Goshen,

fully ample to moot the demands of buyers.
CorrEt—Xo'withsMr.ding the fall In thiv article in the
Northern markets, prices lieienre well maintained, in
consequence of tiie light stock o sa'e, and the good
demand which has prevailed <1H ing tho week for the
article. We have no change to nme in prices, and we
therefore renew our figures of a-t week, viz: Prime

10.5): Extra, Sll/0:<i 12: Family and Fancy brand.,

demand being only for the retail trade.
Grain—The demand for grain has been more brisk
d iring the week, but with tho heavy fall in the North
ern markets: and the free arrivals during tbe week,
prices have given tvay, and wc liavo heard of prime
Maryland White being sold from the wharf at about
S1.42V4: and from store it is selling at SI..VI. We have
not heard ofpuiv sale of Yellow or mixed from tbc
wharf, but it is held at SI.50 from store. There lias
been considerable demand for Corn from the country.
Oats in moderate request, ami riites have been made
from the wharf at Sft'xhfi anil 90c— the hulk at the lat

sola from the wharf at $1.75(42, and from store f2 is de
manded for tbe article.

in the Grocery and Provision line, and we have to note
a decline from lost week’s prices, nnd have altered
our figures accordingly, vix: Pressed, 15c; Prime

firm ut onr quotations, and are only supplying small
orders. We quote 82.23 in large quantities, ami 82.50

Rick—The Itiee market has been quite dull durifig
the week, and the article is held at lU)£c, in quantity,
Rt which price wc have heard of hut one sale—fifty
casks—of a prime article. The stock on the market
is very heavy, which has had the tendency to weaken
prices, but in order to correct this, planters are hold
ing bark their crons, and will not send them forward
until tho market is somewhat relieved of the heavy
stock with which it is now encumbered. Some 325
casks have been shipped to New York during the
week.

At his residence, near Adairsvillo, Oa, Dr. B. A.
; nTaN rON departed this life on the 15th inst.. a:
11 o'clock, P. M.
Il<- had been in ill health for a long time.—
About two mouths previous to liis death, he wse
violently attached, and suffered intensely with
dropsy. II- bore his sufferings with great fortl-
tnde; was ever patient and submia lve. Qe win
the author of kind words to all who gathered
around his bedside.
l)r. STANTON, though not a member of any
church, had experienced the great change, whieh
is the loririvencss of sin, and had learned to rely on
the mighty arm of Him who died tlmt finnera
might be saved.
! This great change was e-xperienecil about one
vr:ir previous to liis death ; had he recovered, It
was liis intuition toattachhimselftosome church.
He talked to one of his friends, a neighbor just a
few days before ids death, expressing his resign*
tlon to death; said he was not aflraid to die. He
flit t' at nU was well. His loss will be deeply felt
by all the community. As a citizen, lie was great
ly esteemed, I cing always kind, peaceable snd use
ful. As a physician, he was much beloved. He
•';.s ever wady to att -nd the sick Hid dying, and
• peaking words ot comfort. He wioj as prompt to
attend tiie poors- the rich. All will mourn bis
loss.
As hr.-’ and and parent, none was ever more
kind as affectionate. Hestndled the comforts and
pleasures of homo. There are many who 'vmpe-

All’s o’er no more of earth he now beholds;
He has .-ought th - .-kies where his Saviar folds
Him to h .- heart, smites and welcomes bin home
Where he’ll share no sorrows nor ever mourn.
Then grieve not loving wife, for he is gone
To that blest land where all is brightest morn;
Ti e ev’nim; of Eternal life comes not
There. AU save love, joy and peace are forgor.
Then grieve not friends that he hath passed

From thi* vain world of sorrow and dccav.

W.C. WATTS & CO.’S WEEKLY MARKET
REPORT.
Livebsocl, Nor. 9.
COT '• N.—In eur report of Friday, 2d instant we
quoted Middling American 15d to l.%d.
On Saturday private telegrams from New York of 1st
instant, reported a “ killing frost,” and one report had
It ” Ice as far south os Augusta, Ga.” This caused
some excitement in the market, which continued up to
the close of business on Monday, when-middling Amer
ican touched 15’*©15jyi.
On Tuesday, telegrams from New York reported a
slight decline in that market. From this it was sup
posed r.o material injury had been done the crop by the
frost, which cheeked all speculative demand. Tho re
ports from Maneheeter, too, were less favorable than
tinned for. P ices were barely maintained.
On Wednesday, telegrams from New York icported a
further decline there of Xc, and gave receipts at a!l the
ports. Tor neck ending 2d instant, at 50.UO0 bales, and
exports to Great Britain 11,001 bales. This caused a
very quiet market, and prices were irregular at lid to
yid decline. *
Yesterday the Bank rate was reduced from 4X to 4 \i
cent, but this had no apparent ufinenco on the market,
which ruled dull and irregular at a still farther de. line
of'/Id.
To-day there was rather more demand. Sales esti
mated al 10,000 bales; prices unchanged. No transac
tions reported during the week ih American to arriTe
Onr quotations, as given below, show a decline du
ring the week of j£d in American.
The sales of the week sum up 75 500 bales, of whieh
43.920 were taken by the trade, 17.140 declared for ex
port, and tfcflO on speculati on. Import-50.4-1 bales, of
which 8033 were American, Tho estimated stock now
adds up 039.900 bales (a decrease on laslwene of 84.280)
agam-t 50.280 last year, an increase of 321,730 bales.
Counting the China piculs as half bales, the cotton at
sea for Great Britain now adds up 1U2.G00 bales, a de
crease of 219,503, which, deducted from excess in stock,
shows ths tout apparent excess, as compared with last
year, to be 103,250 hale-. The apparent supply (here
aadatsea) now adds tip 733.490 hates, which i- 80.870
less than show n by our last report. The -to. k of Amer
ican is now 189,740 bales, a decrease during the week of
9990 bales. For thalasts'x weeks consumption (trade
an J actual export) of the rarii u- descriptions, has aver
aged ms iol>ows: American 20 452, Egyptian 2-5'. Brazil
and West India UH0. Ka-t India and ’ hinnOO.KVl.
Onr Manch«-ter report of yc*.tarda- osys:
“This market rema ns flat, witn a- little demand for
Cloth and Yarn as at any time daring tho week. The
tendency of prices to some extent is downward-, espe
cially for Yarn, the bus'll—- doing in which indicates a
decline of Vid ¥ ft s ure Tut-day. ’ Tho “-horwirae ”
movemont seems to have exttnacd no furthei than at
the date of our last report.
Front Alexandria telegrams to the5ti. instant report,
Prices advancing: receipts moderate. No nccutnti'a-
t. .11 s: ,.. Few .. r- it e n::a -ts t .r future de
livery.” Fair open, new rrop quoted UJfd tree on
board. In onr report of 12th ultimo wc said, in refer
ence to the Egyptian Crcp, “A yield of 500.000 to CiO IK9)
bales is now confidently retied upon.” This estimate -
now considered too urge and that 450.000 to 500.000 I
wou!d be nearer tho mats.
