upon which he was not only receiving
no interest, but which was growing
"small by degrees, and infinitely less"
by failures, decreasing value of bank

realize or the thing was out. He could
not go on with any. degree of spirit with
the expensive engravings now in hand,
and the improvements agreed upon, unless
supported by subscribers. The

INDIAN DKPREDATIONS.
On Sunday last, two teams, loaded
w;th goods, were attacked by a party of
Indians, about three o'clock in the after,
noon, si* miles frotn Blocker's Gross
Roads, on the road from Magnolia. The
wagons were plundered of part of* their
contents, when a gentlemen, Mr. Math*
ewa, from Monticello, riding up, unapprised
of the presence of the Indians, and
undiscovered until it was almost ton late,
diverted the attention of the Indians,
who fired upon him as he retreated ; but
fortunately he escaped unhurt, except a
slight glance of a hail upon his shoulder.
The negroes taking advantage of the confusion,
although stript of their clothing
by the Indians, mounted their mules, and
made their escape with the wagons and
teams. Some forty Indians were sup.
posed to be in the party. Pursuit was
given next day bv the troops stationed in
the neighborhood, but without success.
