Washington, Oct. 30th, 1S30. .udian Justice, or the Cayuga Revengo. A TALE OF THE LAST CENTURY. Sbortly-after the Declaration of the In dependence of the United States, a sur veyor's party plunged boldly into the depths of the primeval forest, bent on sur veying and making out. a new settlement. n i~oots not nowfto-point out the precise spot. Sufficient for our purposes to locate i. in the vicinity of Cayuga Lake. Strange as it may, and does appear, they were in. extricably lost, notwithstanding that there were several expert woodmen in the party. For several days they wandered about in t'ieir endeavors to extricate themselves, each succeeding' day, only making the confusion in their brains worse confound & How often do we find the coolest domoments 'of difficulty, lose their ;tcro are. timi, hen-br an overpowering influence-one cannot call it fear, though gradually and innmis takablv it assumes that type-all our knowledge of past events, all our thought of the future is one dim, hazy blank, which,I by degrees, assumes a darker east, unless a master mind is there cahmly and delibe rately to rend the veil asuinder, to restore the fast fading confidence, without which all human energy is nought. 'Tis 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 unimanned then scarce five minutes I reviously. There was a master with the party I (otmmlenced to tell you about, but the mind there was not; hence their total lost and consequent beiwilderaent. Many of our readers may not have had te extreme felicity of loudg tbemselves in the bush, and consequent!y cannot for a moment picture to their minds 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 woodmuen, though we be, this fancy in our hunting excurdions,I - has miore thani once crossed our mind, faintly and dubiously as it were, and ever have we found that, unless the bugbear was eradlicated, there and then e fecttully, that a total shipwvreck would infallibly be the result. In one particulair instance, we especially' recollect following, for sev eral hours fasting, (to which we attribute the disorder,) a deer ini all maimer of di rections, till we gave up the chase, unable any~ longer, fronm want of snow, to track. 'rho bush we weore in we had traversed many a time, we knew that a N. E. course: would bring us out from any part of it, somewhere near where we. wvanted to go,i and yet wvhen we (lid see about returning our compass lied, the moss on the trees lied, every thing lied but our fancies, which pointed out quite a contrary direction. We sat dow to argue the point, bring rea son to combat prejudice, and yet then .every argument failedl to convince the wandering mind. We had to walk hack seven miles for letting the mind overcome reason. But even after that we have been sensible that it is not possible at all times to control the mind. We weore ner vous, irritable, and fancied ourselves half lost-why we cannot tell--and wvhen we got out of the bush we wvere totally lost, for we did not recognize a building which we had seen for years, and yet wve were not afraid in tis particular instance, tho' in all probability in another hour's timne we should have been that also. If then at times vague fears wvill seize, the mind, spite of better judgment, in a n almost well-known small bush, 'tis easy to account for the total bewilderment of the party whose entrance into an unknown' wild we chronicled some time back. Tfhat this'particular party were lost is evident from their having wandered for several days until at snndown one evening, wih by I , out ..t woods .an habitation .adorers, was as .. view of tho holy of old. Joyfully did ..e Indian's prof'ered hospi ie fish and venison prepared rude inartistic skill, never tasted nore 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 the same time disagreeable cast of countenance, wLich somehow conveyed to the behohler 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 within a few miles their labors were to comme orc Pat bee rech I berg heav ner and ed hit mial-a . ..;. The Indan, howe% .. relieved Sbomberg's mind as to his having acquired possession of it, i by stating that it was a present to him c from an English officer, vhose life he had I aved (Iuing the late war, and who, to re- v ward his preserver and show his gratitude, 1: iad presented him with the weapoa which c o 'excited Shomberg's curiosity. The n eeution, so said the lndiatifar exceed- c Ad the beauty of the external workman- t hip, and his praises of his loved wen pon s vere so extravagant thatShoniberg ofie Adto b t aLgu prco, prov 'e no sell him-but me shoi. f;u, Mid the Indian, and 'twas dertermined fi hat this uch vaunted fiflo should be lh ied in the niorning, ere they started back. p arious attempts did Shomtberg make to fj ,oic to ternis-his own rifle, tobacco, >wder, lead, money, in fact, every in- ti luement to tempt an Indian trade was ised, but all in vain. Night found him io nearer the much coveted p:ize than dil q he morning. And as the party retied o rest; more correctly we should say, 0 tretched themselves out to rest. c Morning found the whole party refresh- s d and reatlv to renew their march after 'I he settlement. After a hearty breakfast,b it Shmberg's request the indi:.m cut a n:ld! ehip out of an oak sone IO yards rom the wigwam. At this he tired, and he ball struck scarce an inch from the iiark. Ag:lin he fired, and this time hit s he marl:. -Shomberg now tried hib hand, d as very succes:ful, so much so, that >f six shots fired, a circle of four inches t1 'ould have covered the chip and all the I >)uIlet holes besides. Lud were all of hema in praise. of the weam pon-none mnore S) thaxn Shomnberg. Most liberally did lie I aflr hhlmkets, monmey, rifl e, tobacco, even spiritwre added with the hope of indu e~ing the Indian to parnt with thie weapon All eflerts were unxavailuing~, the Iudi~ ost firmly refused every ofe'r ; he would not part with his riule, so he sa;id, but ith his life. ie had, it seems, taken chargre of the Englishi oflicer when desperate ly wonde'd, and had coei vedl a strong af Ietio'n f'or Inim while tendicg to his wounds nd highly did he prize the present of is white broth~ier: iinig the Indian firm in his refusal, the party gathered together their instrut mients and ar:ns, bestowved almost the whole of their scanty' stock of tobacco o their gen erous hear-ted entertai~ct, anid wvith every expresionx of good fieelinng they parted. An hour ha~d scarcely pass ed, when a man glided into the open space in front of the Indian's wigwam. la the sunny nook sat a decrepiid, dried-tup old woan, fast tottering to the grave. Near at hand sat the Indian repairing moca sins. Greatly to the Indiain's surp~rise lie recognised the man Shomberg, wvho seated himself by the Indian's side, an'd again re newed the attempt to possess the highly prized rifle. As well might he have at tempted to move the rock of. Gibraltar as the stern resolve of the warrior. He saw it useless, but yet he was bent upon his purpose. Suddenly his face lit up with a most demnonanical expression, as if sonic unholy purpose had flitt ed across his mind. After a while he asked to see another trial, to which the Indian assented. Agaiin, the tree was blazed, again the rifle sent forth its unerring bullet. Shomberg ask ed for a shot ; the Indian loaded his rifle and handed it to hin. Carelessly lhe took his aim at the tree, but with the speed of lightning, lie changed the direction. lHe fired ; down fell the Indian, weltering in his blood, a corpse, for the bali had pass ed through his heart. Shomberg, coolly nd deliberatl walkwed awa y with the .ntich he had not scrupled to .1e blood of his late host. He join I the party, triumphaitly 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 time re.kided-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 fallen 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 I No fear for herself, her lonely and inelancholy condition, for a moment entered her mind, her whole Lhoughts were in the senseless and inani mate form that lay now but a little dis ance from hp- &t last.s- '. 1z. as ver, still r ody, and al. ratch over if - ist she does, - ontrary, gra . ian ;- and in 11". overed in the ,r, who) cha * ;j' . - rsi0 he ooil bistedid *, f ' arnfrom her what hasoui are- I illy does he remove the body into the at, and assisting the old squaw, andsup. king her with food, he hastens away em11 the spot. The daylight was just breaking when ic Indian aain made his appearance, econpanied by eight others. Again tli .dy was inspected, the old squaw was uestioned, and the appearance of the iurderer so impressed on thcir minds that ne and all were satisfied, they could re ognize him without trouble. His foot teps, however, were examined and noted. 'ho Indhm was consigned to his lowly ed, the old squaw removed, and to all ppearances the affiir was ended. Not so, however, was the case. The dian who first discovered the deed had ilenly followed the trail to where the arvey had been made, and the to the earest settlement, where, in his broken :iglizh, he managed to gain information at the head of the party had gone to N.t 'rk, and that he had a rifle along with im purchased from an Indian, and that1 is name was Shomiherg. With this in :>rmnation, he rejoined the tribe. In less thani a week after, various par es of strange Indians were noticedl in lie streets of New York. Who they vere, whence they came, or why, none ould tell. Their faces were painted lack-all were folly armed, and might e seen day by (lay prowling, nowv in de ached patis now singly through eVery treet. A t length, Shomberg w'as seen, instant y recognied and followed. His resi lence discovered, day by day, and night iy night, a red skin might be seen either v'atching his residence, or dogging his tops. TIwice did they attempt his life, ut were foiled each time: Shomberg, ow~ever, saw enough to satisfy him that me wvas " doomed."~ For several days he lid not stir out ; but still from his win low lie could always see an Indian some vbere. Ilis life grew burthensome. Hie re olved to leave thne country ; but instead >f sailing from Newv York, he was oblig ~d to go to Montreal. Tamking his pre ~autionm to find a party bound to the same ,lace, he set sail for Lake Champlain. Such, however, was not the case. The roes were on his track; their light canoes were in pursuit ; but still he gained on them. But Indian instine-t was not at Fault at Albany ; they heard of him, and where he had gone. Some days after lhe had been in Men [real, lie wvas seated in the cabin of the ressel about to sail for England, wvhen the captain told him some Indians were inqui :iuig for hium 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.

As such, do we look upon the lato de Iat of the great cause in this State-the fl only of those in advance; soon to rise with the coming up of the reserve be bind-. the great body of the people: The principles of the Southern Rights party in some slight degree triumphed in the late State Convention, despite the large majority of the so called Union men. These principles are yet dear to etery Southern Rights man: They are in his heart and cannot be thrown away or dis regarded. They are destined yet to tri unph, despite the opposition of dema gogues and oflice-seekers.- T1he instinct of self-preservation; if no nobler motive, will yet unite the people of the South as one man, to repeal the attack of enemies, and break the potent spell of fanaticism. -Augusta Republic. 'frickery and the Tarifs A few weeks since the cotton lords at Fall River, Massachusetts, combined to gether to turn the screwv a little tighter, by reducing the wages of the operatives. Many of the workmen and women oppos ed this reduction of their wages and re: fused to work.

Somie time last summer a great dlicitement was oc casioned at Mar~or by the publication In the Citizen of a certain letter on the sub ject of slavery.
