Slortlyafter the.Deeldratiqn of the In dep adence of. th;-United States, a sur -,veyor s party peuncd -boldly into the depths of, the A(ol'est, bent on sur veying d n ew settlenient. - boots not now pomif out-the-precise - rot Sufficient for ourr pososto locate ii-the vicinity of Cayugi'aske. Straige as itmay, and does appear,4hey were i extricablyiost, notwitlfstanding that there were kveril expert woodmnen in the party. For sevel da:s theywandered about in tei endeavors .:to.extjicate themselves, eihstcceediny day, only, making the confusio in their blmias-worse coufound 8 6 I of ofeiI dwe furdiths ooleat~ oments 'of aiffiiulty;-sethei, are times,hery -an overpowering influence-one cannot call it fear, though gradually and unmis takably it assumes that type-all our knowledge of past events, all our thought of the future is one dn, hazy blank, which, by degrees, assumes a darker east, unless a master mind is there calmly and delibe. rately to rend the veil asunder, to restore the fast fading confidence, without which all human energy is nought. "is passing strange how the mind of one man in times of darkness and dread; undismayed by danger, and uninfluenced by immediate peril, can so animate the mass that they would face greater danger than that which totally unmanned them scarce five minutes j;reviously. There was a master with the party I commenced to tell you about, but the mind there was not; hence their total lost and consequent be wilderment. Many of our readers may not have had t'ae extreme felicity of losing themsAves in the bush, and consequently cannot for a moment picture to their miinds the sen sations likely to be experienced there; there may be many again, who without being absolutely lost, have fancied them. selves so, the feeling being rarely second to the reality. Old woodmnen, though we be, this fancy in our hunting excurnions, has more than once ci-ossed our niind, faintly and dubiously -as it we-re, and ever have we found that, unless the bugbear was eradicated, there and then ef fectually, that a total shipwreck would infallibly be .the result. In one particular instance, ~e especially recollect following, for sev 0eral hours fasting, (to which we attr-ibute the disorder,) a deer in all manner of di rections, till we gave up the chase, unable 'nylonger, from want of snow, to track. The bush we 'yore in we had tr-aversed many a time, we knew that a N. E. course vould brin~g us out from any part of it, somewhere near where we wanted to go, ~and yet when wve did see about returning our compass lied, the moss on the trees - lied, every thing lied but our faneies, which pointed out quite a contrary direction. We sat dowv to argue the point, bring rea son to combat prejudice, and yet then -every argument failed to convince the wandering mind. We had to walk back seven miles for letting the miind overcome reason. But even after that we have been sensible that it is not possible at all times to control the mind. We wvere ner vous, irritable, and fancied ourselves half lost-why we cannot tell-and when we .got out of the bush we were totally lost, for we did not recognize a building which v e had seen for years, and yet we were not afraid in this particular instance, tho' ini all probability in another hour's time we should have been that also. If then at times vague fears will seize the mind, spite of better judgment, in an almost well-known small bush, 'tis easy to ac-count for the total bewilderment of the party whose entrance into an unknown wild we chronicled some time back. That this" particular party wvere lost is evident from their having wandered for several ays, ntil at sunwn ne evening, with by out .y.1[-woods .Anhabitation ..Auderers, was as view of the holy of old. Joyfully did .e Indian's proffered hospi ine fish and venison prepared rude inartistic skill, never tasted snore delicious than now. All their trou bles vanished in a moment, and after sat isfying the craving of their inordinate ap petites, the head surveyor. of the party, (whom we will now introduce to our rea ders as a Mr. Shomberg,. nowise extraor dinary in his appearance, save a peculiar and at tbd same time disagreeable cast of 'countenance, which somehow conveyed to the behokier an impression that was unfavorable to the wearer; his character, however, belied his face; he was much esteemed and respected by all who knew him,) questioned the Indians as to their present position, and where they ought. to have been. Strange as it may appear, they were withia a few mile their labors were to comm orC Y pat bak . ~ . bee t reck berg heav ner - andp ed his mal-a .r T Iedan~, howe% ..a-relieved Shomberg's mind as to' his having acquired possession .of it, by stating that it was a present' t&Ihim from an English officer, whe lifr he.had saved during the late waga'Jin- who, to re ward his preserver and show his gratitude, had presen .ted him with the wopon whiich so "xcied 'Shomberg's drnity The efeection, 'so said the Indiaitfar exeed ed-the beauty of the external. workman si,,aud his praises of his loved weapon. e extravagant thafSh was.n hh 7o.3 "Me no sell him-but me s t said the Indian, and 'twas dertermined that this much vaunted iiflo should be tried in the morning, ere they started back. Various attempts did Shomberg make to come to terms-his own rifle, tobacco, powder, lead, money, in fact, every in ducement to tempt an Indian trade was used, but all in vain. Night found him no nearer the inch coveted p: ize than did the morning. And as the party retired to rest; more correctly we should say, stretched themselves out to rest. Morning found the whole partly refresh ed and ready to renew their march after the settdement. After a hearty breakfast, at Shomberg's request the lndi.n cut a small chip out of an oak some 150 yards from the wigwai. At this he fired, and te ball struck scarce an inch from the mark. Again lie fired, and this lime hit the mark. Sholimberg now tried his hand, and was very successful, so much so, that of six shots fired, a circle of four inches would have coverel the chip and all the bullet holes besides. Loud wvere all of them iln praise of' the weapon-none more so than Shomiberg. Most liberally did he ofer blankets, moneyC~, iie, tobacco, even spirits were added with the hope of indu cig the Indian to part with the weapon1. All efforts we're unavailing, the Indian most firmly refused every offer; lhe wonld not part with his rifle, so lbe said, but wvith his life. lie had, it seems, taken charge of the English oticer wihen desperately wounded, and had co:w:eived a strong af fecion for him while tending to his wounds, and highly did lhe pr'ize the present of' his inidingr the Indian firm in his refusal, the par'ty gathered together their instru mets and arms, b~estowved almost the whole of' thcir scanty stock of' tobacco on their generous hearted entertainecr, and with every expr'ession of' good feeling they parted. An hour had scarcely pass ed, when a man glided into thle open space ini front of the indian's wigwam. Ila the sunny nook sat a decrepid, dried-np old woman, fast tottering to the grave. Near at hand sat the Indian repairing mioca sins, Greatly to the Indian's surprise lhe recognised the man Shiomberg, wvho seated himself by the Indian's side, and again re newed the attempt to possess the highly prized rifle. As wvell might he have at tempted to move the rock of Gibraltar as the stern resolve of the wvarrior. He saw" it useless, but yet he was bent upon his purpose. Suddenly his face lit tip with a most demonaical expression, as if some unholy purpose bad flitted across his mind. After a while he asked to see another trial, to which the Indian assented. Again, the tree was blazed, again the rifle sent forth its unerring bullet. Shomberg ask. d for a shot ; the Indian loaded his rifle and handed it to him. Carelessly he took his aim at the tree, but with the speed ol lightning, he changed tihe direction. He fired; dowvn fell the Indian, weltering in his blood, a corpse, for the bail had pass. ed through his heart. Shomberg, coolly and delbate,.ly1 walked away with the which, he had not scrupled to .0 blood of his late host. He join 'the party, triumpharitly displaying the prize, for which he told them that he had paid the Indian most handsomely. The party soon found the place and fin ished their survey, and returned to their homes. Shomberg, in high spirits at his successful exploit, bent his steps to New York, where he at that tine resided-with. out a care.or thought of the: poor being he had so unscrupulously deprived of life. Let us turn for a moment to the scene of bloodshed and murder. As soon as the retreating footsteps of the intruder were no longer audible, the old crone, unable to walk, commenced to crawl to wards the body of her fallon son. Slow ly and painfully did she drag her weary way, fearful lest her long coming might prove fatal. Who can express the hope or fear that possessed that poor; forlorn, miserable cripple? No fear for herself, her lonely and melancholy condition, for a mement entered hbr mind, her whole thoughts were in the senseless and inani mate form that lay now but a little dis tance from her Atlss: -a ever still .4.'g bod arid ever,still er body;,aniddas al? . watch 'over It ~ last she d6es, contrary, gru man ;and in O - covered in the" mner wanasourren.-ar. s he removethe b'&dj into the hut, and assisting the old squaw, and sup plying her with food, he hastens away from the spot. The daylight was just breaking when the Indian again made his appearance, accompanied by eight others. Again the body was inspected, the old squaw was questioned, and the appearance of the murderer so impressed on their minds that one and all were satisfied, they could re cognize him without trouble. His foot. steps, however, were examined and noted. The Indian was consigned to his lowly bed, the old squaw removed, and to all appearances the affir was ended. Not so, however, was the case. The Indian who first discovered the deed had silently followed the trail to where the survey had been made, and theh to the nearest settlement, where, in his broken English, he managed to gain information that the head of the party had gone to N. York, and that he had a rifle along with him purchased from anm Indian, and that his name was Shomberg. With this in forma~tion, he rejoined the tribe. In less than a week after, various par ties of strange Indians were noticed in the streets of New York. Who they were, whence they came, of why, none could tell. Their faces were painted black-all were folly armed, and might he seen day by day prowling, now in de tached parties, now singly through every street. A t length, Shiomberg was seen, instanmta hy recognized and followed. His resi dhence discovered, dny by days and night by night, a red skin might b~e seen either watching his residence, or dogging his steps: Twice did they attempt his life, but wvere foiled each time. Shomberg, however, saw enough to satisfy him that he was " doomed." For several days he did not stir out; but still from his win dow he could always see an Indian some whmere. Ihis life grewv burthensome. Ie re solved to leave the country ; but instead of sailing from New York, he was oblig ed to go to MontreaL Taking his pre caution to find a party bound to the same place, he set sail for Lake Champlain. Such, however, was not the case, The foes were on his track their light cafroes were in pursuit;i but still he gained on them. But Indian instinct was not at fault at A lbany ; they heard of him, and wvhere he had gone. Sonme days after he had been in Mon treal, he wvas seated in the cabin of the vessel about to sail for England, when the captain told him some Indians wvere inqui :inmg for him and wvanting to see him. " Tell them, for God's sake, that I am not here," was his reply, and from that moment lie left the cabin. The sails were losened to the wind, the vessel is at last under weigh, the Indians in pursuit.

A union party, it seems, must be iurnv. Dt the South to clasp more tightly, in its raternal embraces, once fierce and inex >rable enemies of the South, and her ia terests. A Union party, forsooth, a union of tne robber with tao robbed! There is sometimes much of (humbug) in a name. [vow plain is this truth shown in the pres. omt case. Here we have a humbug of 'immense magnitude, and huge prepon derosity." The members of this party ill doubtless endeavor to persuade them elves that they are the duly constituted protectors of the Constitution-a Consti tution, however, which is almost worth less, and "the security" we enjoy under which is "based solely upon good faith" -the good faith of the North, which is almost if not entirely equivalent to "Pdnic faith," broken whenever convenient or politic. They will persuado themselves that the Union is in their hands as a sa red legacy-but this Union;~ what is it but the Union of the weak with thme strong, of the oppressed with the oppressor, of the long suffering with the presumptions and arrogant. They will doubtless raise a great hue and cry against the Southern Rights Republican party; as being for dis union-but let them remember that " this cry of Union is the masked battery, from behind which the Constitution and the rights of the South are to be assailed," We belong, as heretofore, to the South ern Rights party. Defeat, sometimes, is more than victory. As such, do we look upon the late de feat of the great cause in this State-the fall onily of those in advance; soon to rise with the coming up of the reserve be hind--the great body of the peopl. The principles of the Southern Rights party in some slight degree triumphed ini the late State Convention despite the large majority of the sa called Union men. These principles are yet dear to ev'ery Southern Rights man: They are in his heart and cannot be thrown away or dis regarded. They are destined yet to tri unmph, despite the opposition of dema gogues and office-seekers; The instinct of self-preservation, if nd nobler motive, will yet unite the people of the South as onie man, to repeal the attack of enemies, and break the potent spell of fanaticism. -Augusta Republic. '1ridhery and the TardA A fewv weeks since the cotton lords at Fall River, Massachusetts, combined to gether to turn the screw a little tighter, by reducing the wages of the operatives. Many of the workmen and women oppos ed this reduction of their wages and re5 fused to work. By the last accounts we perceive that capital has conquered labor, and that those who turned out have been compelled to resume their wvork at the re duced prices, and the owners are chuck ling that " their factories are in operation again." This is one. of' time mean devices resort ed to, to swindle Ie workingman. The ich seems deternu v estroy us-not regarding us as equals,f it inferiors. If we -were inferiorsi then ldeed would our condition be hopeless, ien might we with propriety go to the >orth for our models and every thing, else t we know that in no point of view diatever; are we inferior to the North, Vhy is it that our people act so very ini nusistent with their intere-sts by educa g their children abroad, when they can better educated at home?1 We have iason to believe that those persons edn. ited abroad are more intelligent, refined, are highly cultivated, or better suited to he callings and professions of lifre than hose who have graduated at Colleges of r own.

Jous ADAxs,-In the 30th year of his ige, John Adams made the following en. ry in his Diary.. He was then practising aw in Boston, though living in Braintree. " It has been my fate to be acquainted n the way of business with a number of ery rich men-Gardiner, Bowdoin, Pitts, hancock, Rowe, Lee, Sargent, Hooper, Donne. Hlooper, Gardiner, Rowe, Lee, mnd Dane, have all acquired their wealth y their own industry; Bowdoin and Han ock received theirs by succession, de scent or devise; Pitts by marriage. But there is ot ot oe of all these who derives more pleasure from his property than I :o fron mine; my little farm and stock and cash afford inS as much satisfaction as all their inimense tracts, extensive navi gatiodt, sumptuous buildings, their vast sums at interest and stocks in trade yield to them. The pleasures of property arise from acuisition more than possession, fronit what is to om rather than ivhat is TChe rich are seldom remarkable f mod esty, ingenuity or humultity. Their wealth has rather a tendency to make them pen urious and selfish."
