Let he sickly sensibility anil mawkish sentif mentality of those who can faint in the most k approved fashionable style, and wreathe themselves into romantic agony at the bare idea of employing blood-hounds against 'the poor Indians' read it, and learn to feel, if they can: "Mr. Harlan's dwelling was burned, and his family, murdered, in the afternoon of the 29th of January last. Mr. H. was abcorit mill nn pveuiiln>><? olvpc llip fit I Imvi n (r account of the return of the unhappy man, with an armed party, on the day after the occurrence: On arriving at the spot, we found every house reduced to ashes, and at the kitchen door the bones of a human being nearly burnt up; after examining all around, we saw the track of moccasins making ingress and egress the same course. On the trail, not far off, we saw articles of clothing, potatoes and papers, dropped; about twenty-one persons, armed, now arrived from lola, amongst them Mr. Harlin, who in a wretched state of feeling, proceeded to examine the burnt bones, which he believed to be those of his wife and son, whose knife he found amongst them. One of the company, in searching behind.the garden, about one hundred yards off, called out; "Come here, Harlan; here is your wife!" Joy immediately /sprang to my bosom, and I ran.,to see the dead come to life, where there was a general rush; but, Jo! I found Mrs. Harlan-ly-ng .prostrate on the ground, behind some pine logs, with her tnroat cut, a ball shot through her arm, one in her back, and a fatal shot in the neac, wnicn must nave been very near, as the ball-patch was sticking in her head. Her younges* son, say eight years old lay near her side, with his skull fractured by a pine stick which lay near him. lie exhibited signs of life, and I had him carried to a shelter; water given him, and his feet, which were cold, put in warm water, and faint hopes are now entertained of his recovery. Had yen witnessed the heartrending sight of .Mr. II., embracing his little son; and calling him by his nick-name, Buddy! Buddy! Buddy!'' with the solemn sound of parental affection, sunk to the lowest ebb of dojection; and then running to the corpse of his wife, throwing bis arms around her cryiiig out,J"My Wife! Oh! my dear Wife!" I know your feelings would have given way as mine did;J had always .ftilt a sympathy for these merciless savages, but my heart now assumed a stern fortitude, foreign to its nature, and I felt ' like not leaving an Indian foot to mark a , Attack in the ashes of the desolation they ^haVe maae.'' Who can read this extract from the letter of a highly respectable gentleman, without anguish? who can witness such -atrocities without admitting it to be lawful to usfc* bloodhounds against such hell; hounds? The intorduction of these animals is entirely, it is believed, a Territorial measure. It is creditable to the officer with whom it originated, and whose ample justification is the stern necessity which required it. A citizen, remarkable from his piety integrity and intelligence, lately exclaimed, in my presence," 1 would use devils if I could, against such an enemy," and I am compelled to yield assent to the sentiment. In the straight to which we are driven, the severest means ai^e the best means; and whatever tends to the speedy tcrmina, tion of our protracted difficulties, will lend also, to the preservation of human life, and to the advancement af the cause of humanity." Macon Telegraph. From the Charleston Patriot. SUtWJ,liters from Gen. Harrison have been recently published," irT wtrrrrrrn- ?7>uvowsand repudiates the doctrines of the Abolitionists. On the ground of this disclaiming his friends demand for him the votes of the South, placing his pretentions on the same footing, in tins regard, as those of Mr. Van Burcn. We do not admit the conclusion, supposing the premises to be true. Mr. Van Burcn has been tried on the slave question in all its aspects. He has stood shoulder to shoulder with Southern men, since his elevation, in the maintenance of Southern institutions.? We A now his personal and political firmness on this ^questiop. Fully admitting the sincerity of- Gen. Harrison, he has never been placed in such a political position as would test the strength of his resolution and the firmness of his principles.? He will most necessarily receive a lar^e * - o number of votes from the Abolitionists, and those under their influence. The situation of a candidate for the Presidency with office in perspective and office in possession, is as opposite frequently as the antipodes. An aspirant for the Chief Magistracy is under influences when he has attained his political elevation, the force of which he did not and could not calculate or imagine while power is sought and not yet possessed. However indomitable his resolution to act in compliance with the dictates of his political conscience and his conviction of right, he will become the creature, or if unyielding, will be made sacrifice, of those whose secret councils, in the Cabinets of Presidents as well as Kings. There is a sympathy in politics, produced by mutual obligation, that controls the strongest self will. There are affinities between those who receive support and those who yield it, as strong as any tics that can be created bv reciprocal no litical dependence. Can uny rational observer suppose if the Abolitionists should hold the balance of power and elect Gen. Harrison, that this would not create an intimate political relation between them? Can it be imagined, if elected for on term, that compliances, if not sacrifice! would not be required from him, to s< cure Abolition votes for a second terrr Does political history show that sacrifice of this character arc never offered at th shrine of office?that the surrender c personal opinion is never made the condi tion of future and indispensable suppoi from a party powerful enough to jurn th popular scale? Now, let us admiti for the sake of at gument, that both candidates stand befor the people of the South with equal claim to their support, as relates to Souther: interests. Mr. Van Buren is the actual in cumbent, and we have tried him by al t Urt tflntf 4 V*.. 4 J ? * ? ? ? -?? 1 - * - ? ?

The question to be resolved, then, is shall he be sustained for a second term having no concessions to make, as th< condition of future support, or shall Gen Harrison receive any portion of the South ern votes, who is yet to be tested as t< his moral and intellectual capability, am who, if he succeeds, will necessaril] have to conciliate opposition by variou compliances, to secure votes Cor a secom term? On which side is. the most risk Do the Southern people hazard less b] continuing support to-.a tradypr untriet Statesman?to one who is alrout to ente on the last term of his official existence as Chief Executive, or one who aspires t< clothe himself with the attributes of thi: high office for the first time. The peoph of the South have sufficient sagacity to re solve the question for themselves, when ever their minds are turned into the pro per chaunel on this great subject.

John Randolph's opinion of Henry Clay ?The Washington Correspondent of thi Baltimore Republican, writes to thai papei as follows: 4'The late John Randolph, of Roanoke was a keen and close observer, a man whe scanned the objects of men minutely, anc ' found no difficulty in defining them. Somt years before he died, he said that it wai plain, that one of the first <5c dearest object! I of Mr. Clay's heart was the political des< triiction of ,\Tr. Calhoun: aud mark me, sail he to a f. iend in Loudon, who a day or twe after reported the remark to me, he wil follow Calhoun to the grave, and beyonc it, if he outlives him, and will riot among his ashes. His detestation is inveterate una uncompromising, and it never will be satisfied." A Curious Grist.?A Fankee, who mi grated, some twenty years since to Illinois, ?hc followino inu.eni >us substitute for a grist mill. At the foot of a Tall in i ] small stream, he drove down a crotch stick 1 he placeed another horizontally about eigh j feet long, to one end of which he had fixci : a pestle, and on the other a bucket.

I n that way he made al the meal he used. One day, on returning from his work to his mortar, he found ai addition to (he stock he put there, in thi shape of a racoon, whih was pouded up hide, hair and bones, with the corn, to i similitude in consistency, work-house soup The'coon not observing any thing to it terferc with his intentions in reference tc the corn or not understanding the uninter milting operation of machinery, put in mo. tion by a natural agent, perched himsel upon the mortar, meditating a luncheor upon the provender, so providentially fell in with whnn llm r.ocil?
