Jackson’s army, in Flor ida. consisting of r.esr 1.090 sen, including regullirs commanded by Gen. Gaines; Geor S'a malitia commanded by Gen. Glascock; e Tennessee horsemen and friendly Indi ans under Gen. Mclntosh. Major Thomas Woodward and Captain Isaac Brown had a kind of joint command with Mclntosh over the Indians. v , While marching on between St. Marks and Sewnnnee Town, distance about 100 miles, on Sunday, the 12th day of April, we discovered fresh signs of Indians. Gen. Mclntosh, with his command of Creek In dians, jlnrsued them. The main army, as was our habit, lay down in the grass to rest and await Mclntosh’s return. Very soon Mclntosh overtook them, and the battle com menced in hearing of us, probably a mile off. We could hear the firing of guns, which continued for some time. Well I remember ati express bore from Mclntosh. An Indian, on foot, running, crying out, at the top of his voice, “ Captain Jackson, Captain Jackson!” As lie passed us we pointed to Old Hickory, who soon dis patched a company of Tennessee mounted men to aid Mclntosh. The battle was fin ished ere they reached him. Mclntosh and W T oodward soon returned to our camp with his prisoners, consisting of women and chil dren, and a ic/tite. woman to our surprise. This woman is still living in or about Ft. Gaines. She was then Miss Stewart, and afterwards married John Dill, of Ft. Gaines, ■who died a few years since. For the particulars of her 6ap‘tiro by the Indians and re-captured hy Mclntosh and Woodward, I refer you to the enclosed let ter, which 1 have just received from Gan. Woodward, from which, if you think of suf-s fteient interest, please copy in full, or make such extracts as you choose. Since receiving this letter from Gen. Woodward, 1 have hunt ed up my dairy, kept during that campaign, aud have made the above extracts., B. Letter from Col. Woodward. ” Wheeling, Winn Parish, La., i June IC, 185S. J Dear Sir : —Your letter of the 27th ult. is as welcome ns it was unexpected. Any thing from those I knew in early life is con soling to my feeling in my present lonely sit uation, particularly when it contains such kindly expressed for my welfare here and my happiness hereafter. Jii your P. S.you say 1 may have forgotten you.— Your name is a familiar ene-Ao.me, aud it is possible 1 may not know which one of that name 1 am writing to, but it would lie treat ing unkindly one of the bust memories that man ever Lad to doubt jt. If you are the J 15 I think 1 am writing to, you were born in Georgia, and in the same coun ty 1 was, Elbert. In ISIS there were two companies of sol diers from Elbert county, Ga., one command ed hy (.’apt. Mann ; the other by Capt. Ash ley. You vveic a Lieutenant in onefif them. I remember the tiip to Fort Early that you speak of, as I do most of what occurred in that Florida expedition. That was a little over forty years ago. The munes you men tion—if the incidents connected with t! ( jeir lives were as well known to some as they are to myself, would afford material for a very interesting hook. Miss Stewart (now Mrs. Dill) you saw when Capt, Brown and myself carried her to your camp ; you know something of her being a captive among the hostile Indians. And as 1 have nothing to do to-day, and you live in Columbus among m ny of my old acquaintances as well as rel atives, and perhaps some of them would be willing to hear that 1 ain living at least, 1 will give you a little of hers (Mrs Dili s) and Mrs. Brown’s history. In 1816 and 1817, the Florida Indians were doing mischief, and the Government found it necessary to keep troops quartered on the borders of Florida. Fort Scott nnd Fort Huso were erected to'protect the set tlers in Early county, Georgia. That was then anew nnd thiniy settled country. The command of the troops was given to Cos!. Arbncklc. He had frequent skirmishes with the Indians under the control of Chitto-Fan na-Chula, or old. Snake Bone, but known to you and the whites generally as old Nelie mathla. The present gallant Gen. Twiggs was then a Brevet Major in tlio 7th Regi ment ot Infantry, and was generally -the foremost ih those skirmishes. Supplies had to be carried from New Orleans and Mobile by water. large boat with army stores 4as started from Mobile Point under the command of Lieut. Scott. Mrs. Stewart was among those on board ; her husband, Scrgeaty, arrVl a fine looking man at that, had gone with the troops* The boat having to be propelled hy oars and poles, was long on the trip, and by this time the war had com pletely opened. The hostile Creeks, from various portions of Florida, were engaged in it; among others the two chiefs you saw hanged at St. Marks—Josiah Francis and Ne-he-mathla Micco. They headed a party’ and watched the boats. As those on board were hooking and jamming (as the boatmen called it) near the bank, and opposite a thick canebrnkc, the Indians fired on them, killing and wounding most of those on boad at the first fire. Those not disabled from the first tire of the Indians made the best fight they could, but all on board were killed except Mrs. Stewart and two sailors—Gray, and an other man whose name I Lave forgot, if 1 ever knew it; they were both shot, but made their escape by swimming to the oppo site shore. I must here mention a circum stance that occurred on board the boat at the time, which 1 learned from one of the men who escaped, and also from some of the In dians who were present. There was a Ser geant named Mclntosh, a Scotchman, on board whom I knew well. He was with Colonol, afterward? General, A. Smith, before St. Augustine, Fla., in 1812, and a Sergeant 1n Capt. Woodruff’s Compa ny, at the beginning of the war of 1812, and was a favorite among officers and soldiers.— He was an own cousin of the Indian Gener al Mclntosh you knew, whoso grave you say you not long since visited. Sergeant Mcln tosh was a man of giant size, and perhaps more bodily strength than *aS2.X have known in our service. When be found all on the boat were lost, and nothing more could be done, he went into a little kind of cabin that the Lieutenant bad occupied as his quar ters, in whieh was a swivel or small cannon, loaded it, took it on deck, and resting the swivel on one arm ranged it as well ns he could, nnd (the Indians hy this tirao were boarding the boat with a fire brand,) he set off the swivel whish cleared the boat-for a few minutes of Indians. /At the fireing of the swivel he was thrown overboard and drowned, and this clearing gave Gray a chance to escape. Mrs. Stewart wa* taken almost lifeless as well as senseless, and was a captive until the day I carried her to your camp. After faking her from the boat they (the Indians) differed among themselves as to wlinse slave or servant sho should be.— An ludian by the name of Y ellow Hair said he had many years been sick at or near St. Marys, and that lie felt it his duty to take the woman and treat bet kindly, ns lie was treated so by a white woman when he was among the whites. The matter was left to an old Indian hy the narno of Bux Head, who decided in favor of Yellow Hair. 1 was told by the Indians that Y T ellow IJair treated her with great kiudness and respect. 1 never asked her auy questions as to her treatment/ utui presume slid never knew me from any other Indian, as Brown and myself were both dressed like Indians. \Ye knew long before we rc-cnptured her wlmt band she was -with, and had tried to come up with them bf-fore. The most tiresome march I ever made wgip one night in company with the present Gen. Twiggs. He with some soldiers nnd 1 with a party of Indians, trying to rescue her at old Tallahassee, hut the Indians had left be fore we reached the place. 1 shall never, while I live, forget the day we took her from the Indians. Billy Mitchell, a sou of the then Indian agent, Brown, Kenduii Lewis, John Winslett, Sam Hall and myself, were the only white men that were with the In dians, except old Jack Garter, my pack horseman. The w hite men I have named and tluv Ilitchetas under Noble Kenqrd, and the Uchecs under tiimpoochy Barnard com menced the fight. Shortly .after the firings commenced we could bcar.ii female voice in the English language calling for help, but was concealed from our view. The hostile Indians, though greatly inferior in number to our whole/oree, bad the advantages of the ground,*being a dense thicket, ami kept the party that first uttacked at bay until Gen. Mclntosh arrived witli the main force. Mc- Intosh, though raised among savages was a General, yes, be was oue of God’s make of Generals. 1 could bear his voice above the din of fire-arms—“ Save the white woman! save the Indian women and children !” His other brother, Bolin Mclntosh, was in the crowd, as bravo as the bravest. At this time Mrs. .Stuart was between the fires of the com batants. Mclntosh said to me, “Chulatnila EtnartUla, you, Brown and .Mitchell got that woman.” (Clmlatarla Emaithla was the | name I was known by among the Indians.) Mitchell was a good soldier and a bad crip ple from rheumatism. He dismounted from iiis horse nnd said, ‘‘Boys, let me lead the way.” We made the charge with some lichees and Creeks, but Mitchell, poor fel low was soon left behind, i,n consequence of his inability to travel on foot I cau see her now, squatted in the saw-palmetto, among a few dwarf cabbage trees, surrounded by a group of Indian women. There I saw Brown kill an Indian, and 1 got my rifle stock shot off just back of the lock. Old Jack Carter eaule up with my horse shortly after we cut off the woman from the warriors. 1 got musket and used it until the fight ended.— You saw her (Mrs. Stuart) when she reached the camp, and recollect her appearance bet ter than 1 can describe it. You say you hnve Becnllic old lady, the mother of Jack Brown. I never saw her but once, and that was in Twiggs county, Ga., about the last of February, 1818. It was at her own house. I called there to get Isaac to go with me into Florida, as I Imd been or dered by Gen, Jaekson to collect as many Indians as I could aud join him at Fort Scott. Isaac bad no horse that was Buitabl? for tlre-trip. I left my horse with General Wimberly, and we took it on foot to Fort Early, trusting to Providence for horses af ter that. When we were about to leave, the old Indy said, “Isaac, my son,,..the Indians killed your father and may kill you, but 1 Imd rather hear of your being killed than to hear that my son acted the coward.” This is all the acquaintance I ever had with the old lady ; but I have had her history from many that knew her well. When Isaac was an infant, bis father, who was a fearless man, crossed the Oconee river near wbat is known as the. Long Bluff. The Oconee was, then the line between the whites and Indiaus.— Brown built him a lmusc, and was preparing - for stock raising. He always kept on hand a number of loaded’guns and some fine dogs. (Rte morning about daylight bis dogs com, menccd barking ; he opened the door to look out and was shot dead by an Indian, who hfid secreted himself near the house. At the report of the gnu, the Indians raised the yell. Mistress Brown drew her lifeless husband into the house, shut the door, and commenc ed firing at the Indians, and succeeded in driving tbem'off. They soon returned, and set fire to a board shelter attached to ttye house. She climbed up the wall on the in side, and with a basin -of milk extinguished the fire ; and while in the act of ponring the milk on the fire, with her arm projected through the logs, the Indians shot at and broke lief shoulder. With one arm and the aid of a small boy, the son of one James Har rison,,she succeeded the second time in driv ing the Indians away. She then escaped across the river with her children, A com pany was collected and repaired to the iionao and they said it had not been a sham fight, for they found the white man in the house shot dead, and not for from the house two dead Indians, and not fur off on their trail was discovered signs as though they had been dressing wounds. Now von can account for Isaac Brown’s being a soldier as easily na to account for Lexington and his half-brother Lecompte, being race horses—it's in the blood. ‘ The hoy that was with Mrs. was the son of James Harrison, who was a man of groat daring and had suffered tnuch from the Indians, and they in return had suf fered much from him. Ho was tho mhn thstt killed the father of the present speaker of the Creeks, Ilupoitlilcyohola, and was known to the Indians as Efow Tuscanugga, or I>og Warrior, and to the whites as Davy or Da vid Cornels, I expect, was the cause of more mischief done to the whites by the Creek In dians than Any tuau that ever lived in the natiou. He was troublesome daring the Be volution and long after. While Seagroves was sent, Cornels sent him word that he wished to be at pence, and would meet him at Colorain, not a grant way from Bt. Mary's Seagrove unfortunately let it be known that he was ex figuring a visit from Cornels. < Har rison heard of it, collected a sow men, and I expect Brown's father among the rest. All had suffered long atid much from the depre dations of Cornels aud his men ; they knew bis path ; they watched it closely and one dny as he approached them with a white Hag Harrison killed him. So ended the life of the most bitter enemy the whites over bad among the Creek ladiaus, Sowunoka Jack excepted. By the time you get through what I have here scribbled, I reckon you will he a little cautions Jut w you write to your old Indian acquaintances who have little else to do than sit and think over old times. You aay you reckon I am now an old man ; you are right Time, the common loveler of our race, has uot passed mo unnoticed, and accqrd'mg to the course of things it will not be A grpaf while before I am turned over to tho terror of kings.

A short time since, a young man living ir. Ogdensburg, X. V., whose name we shall call George, took to drinking rather more than usual, and some of bis friends endeav ored to cure him. One day when he was in rather a loose condition, they got him into a room, and commenced conversing about de lirium tremens, directing ail their remarks at him, and telling him what fearful objects, snub as snakes uud rats, were always seen by the victims of this horrible disease. When the conversation had waxed high on this theme, one of the number stepped out of the room, and from a trap that was at let a large rat iuto tbo room. None of hisJrieuds appeared to see it but the young matt who was to he the victim seised a chair and hurl ed it nt the rat, completely using up the piece of iuruiture io the operation. Another chair shared the same fate, when his friends seized him, and, with terror depicted in their faces, demanded to know what was the mat ter. “ Why, don’t you see that cursed big rat ?” said lie, pointing to the auimal, which, after the ntauuer of rats, was making bis way around the room, close to the walls. They all saw it, but all replied.that they didn’t see—“there was no raid’ “ But there it is 1” said ho, as another chair wont to pieces, iu an ineffectual attempt to crush the obuoxiuos vermin. At this moment they agnin siezed him, and after a terrific scuffle threw him down in the floor, und, with terror in their laces, screamed: .** Charley, run for a doctor. V’ Charley started for the door, wlien.Oeorge desired to be informed “ what tho devil was ftp.’’ “Up!” said they, “why, you’ve got the delirium tremens!” Charley opened the door to go ont, when George raised himself to his elbow and said, “Charley where are you going?” “Going for tho Doctor J” rejoined George; “for whntl” - “For what?” repeated Charley, “why, you’ve got the delirium tremens !’’ I?” repeated George. “How do you know I’ve got the delirium tremens 1” “ Easy enough,” says Charley ; “ you’vo commenced teeing nils.” “ Seeing rats!” said George, in a’ sort of musing way; “seeing nits. Tbiuk you must be mistaken, Charley.” “ Mistaken ?’’ “ Yes, mistaken,” rejoined George. “ / ain't Ikt man—l haven’t teen no rutl” The buys let George up after that, and from that day to this he hasn't drank too. much liquor, and hasn't teen no rats—not the first rat.— Boston Courier. HEWIPABEH DEAD HEADS Railroads occasionally complain of dead heading, but no institution suffers so much from it as the press. A sensible writer says : The press endures the affliction of dead headism from the pnlpit, tire bar and the stage, from corporations, societies and indi viduals. It is expected to yield its interests;, it is required to Vt ve strength to weak insti tutions, eyes to the blind, clothes to the na ked, and bread to ftTSSiungry ; it is asked to cover up infirmities, hhle weaknesses, and wink at improprieties; it is expected to her ald quacks, bolster up dull authors, and flat ter the vain ; it is, in short, to be’ all things to all tnen ; and if it. looks for pay or reward, it is denounced as mean and sordid. Tirere is no interest under the whole heavens that is expected to give so much to society with out pay ar ihauko as iue press. No man can do any thing against his will said a metaphysician. “ Faith,” said Pat, “ I had a brother who went to the Statos Prison against his will—faith an’ he did.” A lively Hibernian exclaimed at a party where Theodore Hook shone as the evening star, “ Och, Master Theodore, bat you’re the hook that nobody can bate v** VOLUME I—DUMBER 60 a wabriob QtrxKß m.i.vn xm mu*’ An Indian letter In the London TimfeaAn ooences the death of *R*ince (Qneent of Jbaßsi.

The writer says • Not lacking eh her spirit or ambition, she accepted the offer, and for a time ruled well. Btft the spark had struck the train—Bengal was In flame, and now or never was her time to gain that independence from the British yoke her ancestors had lost. We know what her first steps were—the blook of fel low creatures hear witness to them; and fhoogh well-meaning men have endeavored to show, and I sincerely hope with truth, that the atrocities attributed to her wen greasy overrated, they still admit reluctant ly that then poor creatures were cot to piec ea.
