Farewell, farewell, and must it be, Has fate decreed it so; And mint I say farewell to thee, And all my hopes forego. Must I no more in accents meek, For thee my love declare; And from thy soft and blushing cheek Kiss off the trickling tear. Must I no more thy form caress. Nor press thee to my heart; Must I no more a kiss impress On lips devoid of art. Must I no more thy meek voice hear, So swee', so full of love; Which fell upon my listening car, Like music from above. ,’Tis even so, relentless fate, The cruel deed hath done; And like some dove that’s lost his mate, 1 wander on alone. Down, down time's smooth and wave less stream, My barque is swiftly driven; Budhrough the gloonino beacons gleam To guide me safe to heaven. A gloomy cloud, ofdaik despair, Ils shadows o’er me cast; Bu,t thou, a distant, brilliant star, Illuminates the past. And when Ltaok back on the scene, Os love, and doubt, and fear; I vpinly strive a hope to glean, My drooping soul to cheer. A * R ‘ Clarkesville, Ga., March 6lh, 1838, . L-00-. O / From the Washington Globe, THESQUA T T E R S . War in its mildest features, prosecu ted by civilized nations, brings wretch edness and misery, sufficient otatesrne,n to pause and weigh well tlie consequences, before they plunge a country into its horrors; but when the power of the civiliz’d, calls to its aid the cruelty and barbarity of the sav ■ge; " hen towns and cities are levelled and plundered by (be one,and the smo king cabin, and mangled bodies of wo men and children, mark the desolating (rack of the others, surely each por tion of our population, has a just claim to the re>pcct and protection of our pub lic men; and if any difference is made, humanity should incline them to feel most for those whose sufferings have been greatest. Has this been ,the case with our public meet Have they shown the same regard for the protec tion of the poor frontier people who were exposed to the tomahaw k and scalping knife of the cruel Indian, as they have shown to the cities and towns exposed to a foreign toe? Let your millions given for “breakwaters," dry docks, navy yards,canals, fortifications, city losses, &c., to the one; and the unfeeling and reproachful terms of squatters, paupers, an A.plunderers appli ed so freely to the other, answer tiie question. I have beeil led to these reflections from hearing.(tye debate in the United Steles Senate, on a bill which proposes to let the men who have improved pub lic lands have the preference in becom ing the purchasers of their improve ments at Congress price. I was sur prised *o hear a distinguished Senator from Kentucky, speak of those persons in language so well calculated to de grade them in public estimation,and to harden.the public feeling towards their claims; and, with a view that tbeii worth may be truly known, a few sim ple facts relating to their feelings,hab its, patriotism, and usefulness, will be laid before the .American,people. In the late war with the British, and (heir bloody allies, the Creek Indians,' a laige portion of what is now Alabama, was taken from the Creeks, and foj some time remained an uninhabited wilderness. In the year 181 G, the Russels, (a family from Tennessee,)?,ho had borne a distinguished pail in that war, moved over, and settled South ol I'ennessee River, in w'hat is known as Russell’s V alley. The father, sons, and sons-iii-iaw, and some neighbors, planted the first corn that ever grew in /that then remote valle)-. Before their corn had ripened, the Major General in the U. States service had to send two of his field officers on a tour of du ty through this wiiderneßs; their jour ney being long, through a country most ly unsettled and without supplies, he told them “to inquire for any of the Russells; say they were in the public sei vice, and if there was any provisions in the country, that the Russell’s would get it for them.” The gallant Brooke, and a distin guished officer yet living,(whose name 1 will not mention) together with their servants, set out on this journey, and after 2 days’ hard travel from the outer settlements in Tennessee, they arrived at the cabin of young VVilliam Russell, in Russell settlement. A plain dress ed young woman came to the door, to answer their call. They Udd her “they were tired and hungry, and their horses had eaten no corn since their crossed the river, and could trav el no further, and that they wished to stay ail night.” Looking at their rich clothing, unlike any thing she had seen in the settlement, she concluded they were hand speculators, and told them firmly and peremptorily that “they could not stay.” “But,” said col. Brooke, (who was wholly unconscious of the cause of her refusal,) “madam we are friends of Gen Jackson, who (olif us to call on capt. Russell, and say so, and that capt. Russell would not on ly let us lodge with him, but he would get us feed lor ourselves and horses; and, madam,” continued he, smiling, “we must stay.” Raising to her full height, and her eyes flushing as she spoke, “Sir,” eaid she, “Bill Russell fought as hard for his country as Gen. Jackson; his youngest brother Ab, (Absalom) dec4inGtin. Jack- (VOL. 111. No. 24. / VA hole No. 12t3, son’s sight; and I don’t see why Gen* Jackson should now be sending his friends herb to look up our little pla. ce.s, and take our labor from us. “Be jSides," says she, “we have not more than t>ix bushels of corn in the house, : to last us until corn com-es again: this we brought over a hundred miler. You shall not stag.” “Madam,” repli ied the gallant Brooke, - u we -aje not land speculators; we are in the co tin* try’s service, on our way South; and cannot.you give us lodging and some* thing toeat?” Oh yes,” said<ee, “if that is true, you can get down and stay, ifit takes the half yve have,” “As you have so little coin, and 86 far to go for more, we will turn our horses in t ie range to night,” said Brooke, “and will only ask for a little to feed with in the morning.” “Never mind us,” said she; “we can ride our horses as we please, and they can do on the range; but as you are in service, and have hard riding to do, yours must be well fed.” The gallant officers put up for the night, and were sheltered, fed and lodged; and although they did hot walk on carpets, feast upon dainties, or sleep upon beds of down, yet they had the best the squatter’s cabin could as. ford; and it was given, too, with such kindness, such high-souled patriotism, that had the distinguished Senator from Kentucky himselfbeen present, (with all his haired to the squatters, 1 must have won his admiration. In fact, it had such an effect upon Brooke, that long afterwards he spoke of it as “the best meal,” and “sweetest sleep,” l.e had ever etjojed. After taking an early breakfast; the officers cet out on their journey; no persuasion could in* duce this kind woman to accept of any compensation. “She had never yet charged money fur a meal’s victuals, or lor a bed to sleep on,” and she hoped they did not think her mean enough to begin now, by charging those who led soldiers lives, and had their country to tight for. No,she only wished«he had better to give them; because they looked like they had been used to bet* ter than she could get for them there in the woods. The Russells and their neighbors made *a crop of corn, and the next y?af added some hundred families to this settlement; they built one Baptist .and one Methodist meeting house, and no people were more constant or sincere in their devotions; and could those members of Congress who now abuse and denounce all settlers on public lands as squatters, intruders and plun* deters, but have seen these neighbors assembled together on the Sabbath, en* gaged in fervent prayer to the most high God, they would never again in dulge in such feelings aud expressions in relation to the first settlers of a eoun» try ’ L e. The Spanish Governors holding the Florida posts, (aided by a few miscreant British subjects,) soon engaged a rem nant of the Creek and Seminole tribes of Indians, in a War upon the front ier inhabitants; and the regular forces be ing insufficient to chastise them, Gen, Jackson made z. call on Tennessee and Georgia, for additional forces; and knowing that the Russells were brave, tkiifu!, and well acquainted w th Indi an warfare, he wrote to old Wm. Rus. sell “to raise a company of men to act jas spies, and join him on his march.” ; No sooner was the letter received than the neighborhood was collected, a com pany of men raised aud equipped, and although subject to no law, they placed themselves voluntarily under the most rigorous military joined the army in time to be “first in battle;” and their aged commander, although above sixty years of age, and the cam paign the most arduous ever performed on the continent, yet did he go through it withall the animation and ardor us youth. And here let me relate an an ecdote of this worthy veteran, worth placing upon a nations record. About one thousand Seminoles were found embodied at Mikasuckie, ready for bat tle, and the spies were directed to bring on the engagement, and then fall back upon the centre, so as to enable the wings to surround and kill or take the whole of the enemy; but the woods be ing open, and the attack of th ■ spies s® furious, the Indians gave back, and ft oally took to the swamps, th® spies pn*
