TECUMSEiFS VISION.
The uigdi before his last Bailie.
BY JOHN LANK.
Night reigned in the forest—the camp-fires
were gleaming.—
Wrapped in his rough blanket heineath a
huge oak.
Tb> chieftain, reclining in slumber, was
and. earning—
•‘My nation hath perished j” he cried, and
awoke.
lie gazed wildly round him. “The dread
scene hath vanished !
Its warning requireth no seer to nnfold :
The veil which hath hidden the future
is untold—
Alas! valient warriors, your fate is foretold
“The Day-god may rise from Ins couch
on the morrow.
Reflecting his gladsonfest sheen from the
sky.
But, ah ! he shall smile on a vision of sor
row,
For then the last hope of my kindnred
must use !
grim-visaged sentinels, vigilance keep
ing.
No more shall ye watch for the coining of
foes.
And ye, my loved braves ! who around ino
are sii eping,
’Twill be n Death’s wigwam when next
ye repose !
“In streams 1 have witnessed your blood,
flowing vastly,
And dying the Thames with its dark crim
son hue,
While grinning in heaps were your corses,
so ghastly
In soul-sickeuing horror I shrank from
tie view!
“The day, that is dawning now, thus shall
behold ye.
Tire fiat is sealed—and my people are lost!
The (lod of our race, the Grant Spirit
hath told me.—
Farewell to Ttsci mskh ‘.—-farewell to his
host!”
Ituitpeutlencf oi the South.
Editors Southern Cultivator —The re
maiks in some of the .Southern papers, in
relation to Southern Conventions, the larg6
gatherings of'tiie choice spirits of the laud,
ami lastly, the grand finale, have been a
source of much amusement to one who lias
watched the. rise and progress of the grand
humbug.
What people on this Globe possess more
material for happiness, independence and
power than wo do? Our Cotton bales are
more than equal to a standing army of 500,-
000 men ; and as to dollars and cents,
command one hundred and fifty millions ;
and Tobacco about 11,000,000 more, be
sides Rico and other small matters.
London is the money mart of Europe,
and the Bank of England the money power,
the grand centre of attraction. Her books,
paper, engraving, pens, and every thing
used by her arc made within the walls of
the Bank, and when one of her notes is
presented for payment, it is cancelled and
filed away.
New York is the centre of attraction t<
this great country. When Cotton is sold
at the South, it is paid for by drait on New
York, and on its maturity, it is pai ; Ln
draft on London, and the Cotton is so.tl ti ;
meet tbu last draft.
the South pay the debts of the !
United States. What does New Y ork do j
towards paying for the vast importation of
the countiv ? Why she exports gold,
and which she obtains from a Southern
State, California. What could New York
do without our 700,000 bales of Cotton,
which she has manufactured and control
led by her power, and which is sold to us
at a splendid advance on the price obtain
ed by ns for the raw material? The
surplus she ships to China, ty assist tti
paying for Gunny Cloth, to be used in
packing our Cotton.
We possess too much foolish pride, and
arc governed too much by appearances.
Lessen our foolish purchases one half, for
two years, aud we will be the most inde
pendent people on t'us earth.
We are ati impulsive people, and act
upon the spur of th moment. The En
glish people are cool and calculating;
they deduct 4 lbs. from every 112 lbs. of
6ttf Oottoti and then 2 lbs. per bale for
scaleage, making 20 lbs. oft'from each bale
wmen rails into their power. Their goods
are never finished until sold. Go into
thoir warehouses, and vast quantities ol
goods present themselves, all in an unfin
ished state; aud which are finished in ac
cordance with orders received in regard to
them. The spinners sell their yarns u
te weavers, and the weavers to the priii
ters, &c. .Should the spinner consider the
raw material too dear, he bides his time,
and purchas's when it is cheaper.
We of the fiouth Idle and bluster am*
make much ado, aud lo ! nothing hut smoke
or thin air or aouiething else is to he seen.
Last Bpriug we talked so much again*!
the poonls oi the North, that they lea
sailed their manufacture* aud im pc nations
vastly. The Charleston merchants pub
lished, like true patriots, and invited the
BDtßhern merchants to purchase goods oi
them. They were the first - merchants in
New York, made thir purchases, shippt
them South sold them to our Southern
merchants, and hurried back to Yankee
land for more goods to sell the people of
the South, who wore too patriotic to go
there themselves. The rush to get goods
on board of the steamships, destined for tile
South, was so great that cartmcu would
not carry u load unless he was paid so
much per hour, as they had often to re
main on the wharf all night, to take their
turn.
We are now rushing to the North, the
steamers all go- full ; and even military
companies, of an hundred and twenty men
are now in the city of New York, partaking
of the hospitality of the very people who
are sapping us of our werlth.
1 am a Georgiati in every sense of the
term—birth, education anil feelings—but
I feel that we should command respect;
and feel that we are a Soverign and Inde
pendent People. Respectfully,
John U. Cahmichakl
Greencsboro Ga., Aug, 1, IS6O.
Getiißg Rich.
The difficulty of getting rich is com
mented on by the Albany Knickerbocker
in noticing the failtte of Jacob Little. He
was once worth two millions dollars in
ready motley, and had credit for five mil
lions ; but just as much as when he had
only two thousand he wanted that to be
come four thousand, he now desired to
change his two millions to tour millions.
He wat not satisfied with an income of
three thousand dollars a week, but like
Oliver Twist, be wanted more. Reverses
came, and the great Bear of Wall street
was prostrate. Again lie recovered ; and
again bo fell before the changing tide; and
we beliet e lie has suffered five failures,
each time, however, like an honorable man,
paying in full all demands against him.
At* bis present ago it is doubtful if be will
be able to overtake the fortune he lias so
long been in pursuit of, but lie will un
doubtedly yet make Wall • street feel that
lie is alive.
What is true of Jacob Little, is true of
everybody, tui lie lias otdy acted out hu
man nature. Mon are never richer on
theii millions than on their thousands or
hundreds—they are never satisfied, what
ever they have; they never are blessed,
but always to be blessed. We start out
into the world without a cent, and think,
while we toil for a mere pittance, that if
we had a house over our heads we could
call our own, we should be independent
and contented; then wo want five or ten
thousand dollars; and by the time that has
accumulated, the expenses of living have
pressed upward so fast, that we must dou
ble it to keep clear of absolute want.
Next the man may have his fifty or a hun
dred thousand; but the value of money
has changed to him; a dollar once w-as big
ger than a doubloon now ; and there is the
same desire to be rich, as when the half
eagles in his pocket were only pennies.
Happiness is not in riches; wealth is not
in abundance; independency and content
ment depend not upon the extent of lauds,
the number of ships, or the lift of stocks,
one calls his own; it all depends upon the
state of mind; and lie who learns to do
without what is not absolutely necessary,
is making just as much progress towards
contentment —perhans more —-as he who
has acquired’ the means of satisfying that
needless want. The actual wants of man
kind are lew and simple, and easily sup
plied; it is the artificial—the luxuries —
that make us slaves; and beyond these wc
have imaginary or anticipated wants,
which may never tome to us, that burthen
and perplex the soul. We have not the
least confidence that the future will supply
its own needs—that to-morrow will be as
abundant as to-day ; we have no faith that
God will temper the storms to the condi
tion of the man, or give supplies when re
quired, and to the exact amount
needed; and therefore doing our own
work, and assuming God's supervision,
living in to-day all the future, and seeking
at once to supply natural aud artificial
wants for all time, civilized society is in a
state of servitude.— Rural New Yorker.
Freaks of a Maniac,
lie Escapes from a Lunatic Asylum, Mar
ries a Rich Widow, and Buys a Block
of Buildings.
About a year since, a gentleman in the
interior of YV isconsin became insane and I
was sent to the Lunatic A- ’ . ~ t
—oyium at Madi- !
•on, tn that State. He was** physician by 1
profession, aud was a gentleman of superior !
cultivation and ot lcmarkably prepossess- |
iug appearance. He was about thirty |
years old. Some six weeks ago lie es
caped iroin the asylum, and went to Chi
cago. There he encountered an old friend,
who loaned him quite aauui cf money, huv
mg no suspicion of bis insanity. With
tins money he supplied himself with t.cw
and elegant clothing, and started for La
porte. Indiana, a thrifty village on the
ii.ie of tin; .Michigan Southern Railroad.
He remaiue i there long enough to win the
affection* pf n young and wealthy widow,
and was married to her. During the brief
courtship, lie exhibited no indications ot
lunacy, hut shortly after his marriage, he
commenced conducting himself in a man
ner which startled and almekcd hi* wife
and bar friend*..
Terms—sl,so Always in Advance.
Among other mad fancies, he believed
he was a sheep, and iusisted upor, crawl
ing around upon bis bands and feet, blent,
mg in the most absurd manner. He would
then fancy himself a rattlesnake, nnd
make frantic attempts to bite the mem
bers of bis household. The unhappy lady
at length worn out with watching him and
endeavoring to restore his reason, made
preparations to send him to the Asvlum at
Indianapolis. But as is frequently the
case, insanity had sharpened his wits, and
he adroitly escaped. We next heard of
him in Syracuse. N. Y., where he actually
purchased a block ol buildings. The nec
essary papers were made out, and ho was
to call the next day with the money. U,,-
was to j>ay an outrageous sum for the pro
perty, and it is said the parties with whom
he made the bargain, chuckled vastly over
so profitable and fresh a subject. But
they saw no more of him. The lunatic
started westward. At Buffalo he bargain
ed for an immense amount of corn, to bo
delivered in New York city, and then pio
eeu led to Cleveland. He arrived here
last week, and endeavored to negotiate for
some real estate on Kinsman street, but
he talked so absurdly that the parties with
whom he had interviews refrsod to treat
with him.
Meanwhile his friends, and particularly
his wife in Wisconsin (for ho had a wife
and two children in that State) wero mak
ing every effort to ascertain his wherea
bouts. They traced him to Syracuse, and
from there to this city. His brother arriv
ed hero on Satin day morning last, but
found that the lunatic had left on the pre
vious evening's train for the West. He
followed on Saturday morning. At To
ledo he learn oil that ho had gouo West on
the Southern Miehignn train, and he per
severingly continued the chase. At Adri
an ho found and enptured him and took
him home.
When not in his rabid fits, few would
discover the unfortunate man’s true condi
tion. He would make very absurd pro
positions, and offer exorbitant sums of mon
ey for property that bit Ids fancy, but he
would do so in so candid and captivating
manner as to. in moat a boob disarm ,u.

Physical benefit of Singing.
1. It iin roves our speaking. Jt oft< n
corrects any defects ot speech, such as
stammering, hissing or a nasal enunciation.
Some parents have declined to send their
children to the Singing School because of
those defects of voice. This ie a great
mistake.
2. It improves our hearing. By listen
ing to singing, we learn to distinguish the
relative position of the notes uttered by
one voice ; our ear thus becomes practiced
and able to convey the nice distsiiction of
tone to tlie rest of perception. Thus, by
endeavoring gradually to im ta'e others,
we succeed in rendering the organs of voico
capable of reproducing tie sounds which
the ear has received.
3. It improves tho health of children.—,
One of the prejudices most obstinately
maintaiod against teaching ohildrer, losing
arises iiom an Opinion frequently broa lied
that singing, it jnac ised-at a tender age,
may have a baneful inliueuce on the health
and may occasion spitting of blood and
other pulmonary affections, it ia hot long
since this idea prevailed in Gennany also ;
but the most minute investigations, made
by governments as well as parents, havu
proved it to ho quite erroneous.
Nothing is better calculated than the
practice of singing to produce the power
of free respiration. We are convinced that
singing, or as it may be termed, the art of
breathing, is one of the best preventives of,
and surest remedies for, general weakness
j„1 the chest; and that its use, provided
always it be proportioned to the other
physical powers of the singei, is calculated
to exert a most favorable influence on deli
cate constitutions, to impart vigor to <1 •
organs connected with the lungs, and thus
to conduce to a healthy state of all parts
of the body.
So Tune to Head. — How often do we
hear men excuse themselves from subscrib
ing to a paper or peiiodical by saying
they have ‘‘no tin.a to re.vd/t Wb en f( i
hear a mini thus excuse himself, we con
clude ho has never found time to confer
only substantial advantage either upon his
‘ famile. his countr*’ ’ ’■■ •
( v , - v* lumpen, lo nem
1 a freeman thus expressing himself, is hu
j niiliatiug; and we can form no other opine j
| ion, than tlvgt such a man is of little iin-
I portance to society. Such men generally
; have time t.> attend to publie barbecue's, -
j meetings, sales, and other meetings, but
they have “no time to read.’’
They frequently spend whole days in
gessipuing, tippling, swapping horses, but
they have “no time to read.” They some,
times lose a day in asking advice o l their
neighbors—sometimes a day in picking
up news, the prices current and exchanges
i —biit they liavo “no time to read.” They
j have time to hunt, to fi>h, to fiddle, to
| drink, to “do nothing,” but “no time to
read.” Such men generally have unedu
cated children, unimproved farms and
unhappy fireside*. Tt.ey have no eo*rgy,
Ino spirit of improvement, no tova ut
