- Whereas, the existing state Of our
public affairs leads to an apprehension,
Of ourbeing drawn into war with some
foreign power. We the subscribers not
now members of any military corps, do
solemnly agree to form ourselves into a
military association, for the purpose OF
learning the use Of arms, and ofbeing at
all times ready when called upon by the
constituted authorities, to support the
government Of the United States and to
defend ourselves, liberty and property"
The revenue of therlanters in the ter
retory Of Orleans is truly astonishing.
The culture Of sugar on the rich and un-
exhausted banks ofthe Mississippi, has
within a few years raised many Of the
eultivators from a state Of Indulgence to a
state Of aiEluenee to which the inhabi-
tants of the other parts Of the union can
never hope to attain. From the labour
Of forty or fifty prime negroes, an annu-
al income Of from ten to twenty thou
sand dollars is confidently expected; and
so certain is the crop, that these expecta-
tons are seldom or ever disappointed.
Next to the planter Of cane the cultiva-
tor Of cotton is most Literally rewarded,
and the rapid augmentation Of the for
tunes Of the Mississippi territory,
proves that this species Of crop, is easy
to cultivate, and requiring little expert
enee or toll, is long destined give them
advantages Of the northern states.
The high price give in cash fer slaves
sold at auction here, proves the prospe-
rous state OF agriculture. Men have
lately been sold at auction for eight, ten
and some fourteen hundred dollars each.
Ought not the inhabitants Of Kentucky,
Virginia and Maryland, to render their
slaves valuable by bringing them to this
country, or to avail themselves of the
present momen, to sell them for an adj
vanced price to our cultivators.

Wilningt9n again AsAes.

On Tuesday last this truly unfortunate
town once more was visited by that worst
of all calamities fire, which has laid in
ruins its mos tvaluable and beautiful parts;
about , O'Clock in the morning Of that
day, the b4ke-house occupied by John
b. Gamashe, on the nor Ii side Of Mar.
ket Street, Immediately opposite the
printing Office, was discovered TO be en-
veloped in aAars, and before the alarm
became general and the citizens couldas-
semble, communicated to an adjoining
two story wooden building, which was
so far consumed as to DEFY all exertions
to check the progress of the devouring
element to the elegant new brick house
Of John Lord on the east, and DR.. N.
Hills on the west from thence it ex-
tended northwardly through that whole
square, down Market Street to the RI
yer, up Front Street on both sides to Sc.
cond Stre>ti and in this extensive range
the only buildings which escaped are
Mr.. John Martins, corner Of Front and
Princess street, small wooden building
Of Major Walker, corner OF Princes and
Second streets, two FIRE proof warehnus-
e. back of Market street near the wharf
owned by Messrs. Richard Brady and
Alexander Hosler, anda warehouse ON
Princess street belonging to the estate of
Peter Mallet. The unfortunate situati.
on Of the Court house IN the centre Of
the small square formed by the intersrc-
tom of Market and Front streets, with
1vooden rOef, exactly calculated to con-
vey the flames to the four quarters ofthe
town) required every sxsrtion at that
point, to prevent the FIRE from crossing
Market street. We rejoice and are CRATE
full for the success Of that exertion, BY
which alone what remains Of the town
to the southwark was saved.
The amount of loss sustained cannot
be computed II less than one hundred
and City thousand dollars. The number
of dwelling houses, ware houses and
stores destroyed. is about7o, and the loss
in goods no doubt very great. There
were upwards of 70 bales Of cotton, (pur-
chased on account Of q house. 10 New
York and number of other valuable ar.
ticles. consumed in the new brick store
Of vikings, Scott and Go.

CH1LLrCOTHE, February 70.

We understand the governor has re-
ceived an express from Mad river, from
major Moore, captain Moore and cap.
tain M'Pherson, along with some depo-
sitions taken on oath, which states that
the Shawney Indians are preparing for
war-that the 1pdr belts are passing D.
mongst them-that their tomahawks are
painted and eathered-that they are en-
bodied at Stoney creek and at White RE
yer, and are now in council At Green.
vile, where It Is feared they will strike
a soar post in their council, this being
the determined signal for war-that q
small settle ment on Stoney creek consist
ing Of about eight families, from their
fears hadarmed for defence, but had fed
into Mad river settlement.
1t appears from this express, that the
Shawneys are preparing for war, but it
does not appear that It is intended against
the white people It may be intended =.
gainst the Indian tribes over the Missis-
siPpi.
Proper measures will, we have NO
doubt, be taken to ascertain their inten.
ton, and such prudential means used ~
viii quist the fears Of our defenceless ci.
tizens, fthe alarm should be groundless,
and preparations used to ward of any a.
tempt to disturb our quiet, should this
weak and restless tribe Of Indians be
urged BY any foreign emissaries, to in
volve themselves in what will ultimately
prove their entire ruin.
r. Since writing the above, we learn that
second express has arrived from Mad
river, with dispatches for the governor,
and that general Kenton, major Moore,
captain M'Pherson and Mr.. M'Ilvain,
went to the Indian council, but could not
get admittance i; they had however, q
conversation with about eighteen Indi-
ans, who met them at some distance
from the council house. The Indians
received a few strings Of wampum,-
protested friendshipior the white pso-
pie, but At parting manifested hostile
views, BY giving their left hands, Sc
The above gentlemen are fearful Of con-
sequences; but nothing appears certain
as to the views or object Of the Indians.
We are Informed the government has
sent message or speech to the chiefs,
with large fine belt Of white wampum,
and has given such INSTRUCTIONS as will, it
is hoped, in q few days bring news that
viii restore the public quiet. We are
also led to believe, that orders has is.u-
ed to brigadier. general Whiteman, Of
Green county. how to prepare and act,
If necessity should require IT,"
