Agreeable to my intentions, we set
out from Fort Wayne, at daylight, on
the 95tl, and travelled along the old
indian trace, near the left bank Og
tie Miami, until dark last evening,
when we enCamped II fine and exten.
sive bottom, where we formed a shelter
from the rain, which began to pour in
torrents. BY raising two crotchets six
feet from the ground, and 5 feet apart
laying a pole in the crotchets, and by
placing several smaller ones, one end
on the ground ard the other supported
by the pole in the crotchets, and spread
ing our blankets over this frame, made
very comfortable roof, that complete.

We passed an agreeable night, though
surrounded by wild beasts. &c. This
is a very simple and efiectual mode Of

works and provisions.
The country through which we pa
sed, appears very level, though graGa-
ally inclining towards the north or lake
shore, as we perceived by the swittNess
Of the current Of the river, and the UNI
form height of its banks. The Miami
is a beautiful sheet of water, and clear
as chrystaI in its low stage. as is now
the case SO that standing on its banks
we could plainly discover fishes in great
numbers gliding through the fluid, even
at the depth of ten, fifteen or 90 feet
These fish are caught in great aOun'
dance at Fort Wayne, and in all inc
settlements on the river, in what The
,ettlcrs call fish traps or baskets; anu
with the hook and line.
The day stopped at Fort Wayne
more than 600 of these fish, weighing
from three to fifteen pounds each, were
taken from the fish trap, belonging y

THE CROPS.

THE CROPS.
Our foreign readers will doubtless be gIa-
ti6ed 10 learn that the crops Of cotton, corn,
&c. in this part OF Alabama, are uncommonly
fine. The whole country II the Tennessee
valley has been highly favored with season
able showers and hne growing weather, du-
ring the spring and summer, and the crops
were never known to be so promising.
The assessor of this county, (Mad,son,)
while taking the census, has ascertaned The
number of cotton gins, and the quantity OF
cotton ginned aud packed al each, OF the last
years crop.
The accurate result we have not been a.
BILE to procure, but expect 10 co so Tor next
weeks paper--the quantity exceeds tour
millions pounds picked cotton, which will
make near fourteen thousand bales, ayerag-
ing 800 lbs. each, and al ten cents per ID.
will produce 400 900 dollars
The present crop will in all probability /,
WELD an increase OF at least 25 per cent. in
quantity, from the same ground and, as
there is an increased quantity in cultivation,
wemay, with some degree of certainly. cal
culate, that the cotton grown in this county
alone will not fall much short of tsenty thou
sand bales.

DARING ATTEMPT


At escape from tie Psnitsnt,ary IN sh's c'fy,
Between the hours of seven and eight o.
clock Yesterday morning, Mr.. Williams at
tention was called to the west wing OF the
Penitentiary by an apparent dispute on one
OF the stair cases. This was planned to en-
trap him. He was attended by two of the
keepers-and while engaged in hearing the
parties, one Of the convicts came and told
.bim. some were getting over the wall. He
proceeded to the spot, and gave directions
10 the guard to FIRE, when three white and
two black men were shot. One white man
died about nine o'clock. We understand
eight are in confinement in the cells as active
In the plot, in which it is supposed about
twenty were concerned, not one OF whom
escaped.
They took long table on which they ate,
and being prepared with nails and splintefs,
converted it into a ladder, which they pla-
ced between the gate house and the west
wing, being completely screened from the
sight and FIRE of the guard, four of them sue
ceeded in getting over the wall into the court
yard. where they were fired at; one broke
his leg by falling from the wali-they were
all instantly secured. and those not wounded
placed in the cells.
Too much praise cannot he given to Mr..
Williams and his assistants for their bold and
spirited resistance and we are happy that
they succeeded so completely, Ii was &c.
nerally understood that Mr.. w. was gone to
Belle Air, aud this they thought the most ia
vorable opportunity for their attempt.
