See! the FIRE fly in his fight
Securing thy terrene Career

Thou, the planet Of thy sphere.

SERIOUS DISTURBANCE WITH THE IN
DAMS. We are sorry to learn, by several
gentlemen from the Post of Arkansas, that
a serious disturbance has recently arisen
between some of the citizens of that place
and party of Indians, who were encamped
in that vicinity. which unfortunately result
ed in the death of two Choctaws, who were
! of the party. The particulars, as related to
US, are briefly these.
The Indians had procured a quantity of
whiskey, which they carried to their camp,
on the south side of the Arkansas, opposite
the town. where they became exceedingly
drunk, and were very troublesome to a
Frenchman, near whom they had encamped
In consequence of some threats which they
made, he became alarmed, and went over to
I the Post for assistance. A number Of the
citizens voluntarily returned with him for
the purpose of anording him protection {;
and soon after they reached there, from
some cause not known to us, two Choctaw
Indians made an attack on Mr.. Richmond
Peeler with their knivos.- Ono of hem was
shot down and killed on the spot, and the
other was knocked down and secured by
Mr.. Maxwell These two were the only
OhoCtdWS vi Tic party, ana aware tnaL Jnere
were party of thirty or forty warriors of
that nation encamped within about 20 miles
OF the spot, the surviving Indian was con-
fined and placed under the guerd of two
men-Peeler, and a Frenchman named
Francis Lafargue-with a view of prevent
ing him from communicating the news of
the death of his companion to the main par
ty, before the people could have time to col
lect in sufficient numbers to protect them
selves from any retaliation that might be
attempted by them. This Indian was car
ried across the river in the course of the
night, and next morning was found dead
with his hands tied, and his head shocking
ly cut with an axe or hatchet-to all ap-
pearance most inhumanly murdered The
perpetrators of the deed are not known,
though it is suspected that several were
concerned it. Peeler and Lafargue were
arrested and committed by Eli ]. Lewis,
Esq. but were subsequently brought before
Judge Hall on a writ of habeas corpus and
admitted to bail, for their appearance at the
next Superior Court, to answer such charge
as might be exhibited against them at that
term.
Serious apprehensions, we understand,
are entertained by the citizens of that place,
that the Choctaws will attempt to avenge
the death of the two Indians; and guards
have been kept out every night for some
time past, to give the alarm on the least ap-
proach of danger.

From the Ns,o Orleans advertiser.

A FORTUNATE ADVENTURE. 1t was
stated in some of the papers not long since,
that the rich house of Barring in London,
had purchased million of acres of land in
the Province of Texas. We believe the
statement to be correct-Mr. Milan, as we
are informed, from whom the purchase was
made,) left New Orleans few days ago for
London, to close the transaction. The title
OF Milan, we believe will not be questioned.
1t is matter Of some consequence to the
people of this state to inquire, WHY such a
quantity Of first rate land immediate
ly in their vicinity, should be passing in
to the hands of the capitalists of Lon
don? Lands capable of producing in abun-
dance sugar and cotton, not inferior to the
staples of Louisiana. Being immediately
on the Gulf of Mexico, with as fine eli
mate as any in the world, it holds forth the
richest temptations to the people of all
countries, for permanent settlements. Not
far from the gulf, the country is high, and
the atmosphere very pure.
The manner in which he acquired such
an immense grant of land, ian oblong square
of three hundred miles by sixty,) IS extra
ordinary enough-and history of his life
would make him hero, if any man ever
was. He is Kentuckian by birth-after
the late war through which he fought gal
lantly, finding the prosperity Of his native
state on the decline, and despising the dull
pursuits of agriculture, he resolved to seek
the post of danger and of honor, under the
revolutionary banners of Mexico. He dis
tinguished himself as private soldier only,
in the battles fought in the provinces but
did not stop there--he marched boldly for
ward to the city of Mexico itself, alone, re-

DRINKING Com WATER. In conse-
quence of several deaths having taken
place from drinking cold water, the Board
of Health of Baltimore have published some
directions to be used relative to persons suf-
fering from said causes when physician is
not at hand. From these directions we ex-
tract the following:
| know (says Dir. Rush) of but one GER
tain remedy for this disease, and that is
laudamam. From tea spoonful to nearly
table spoonful, has been given, in some
instances, before relief has been obtained.
Where laudanum is not at hand, a glass of
whiskey or brandy may be given. Care
should be taken to prevent the patient from
being surrounded, or even attended by too
many people. inflammation sometimes fol-
lows and requires advice. Every person
about to drink cold water when much heat
ed, should either take few small draughts
OF the water, or pour it on the wrist, or wash
their hands and face; and under no circum-
stance take more than moderate quantity
of water at one drink, say half pint. If
this does not allay thirst, the same quantity
may safely be repeated in five minutes.

RICH Present. Among the presents
destined to the Schah of Persia by the En-
peror of Russia, and which are customary
in the east after the conclusion of peace, is
a bedstead of extraordinary magnifcence,
and which has been exposed at the Empe-
ror's Palace of Tauride the capital, for pub
lie view, preparatory to its being sent to
Persia. 1t is entirely made of crystal, and
is accessible by steps of the same material,
all worked in imitation of large diamonds
incrusted in solid frame. On each side
there are spouts meant to eject scented wa
ter, which by its murmur, invites sleep. 1t
is crowned by large chandelier, which
spreads light in such manner over itself
and the rest of the frame, as to give to the
whole the splendid appearance of millions
of diamonds rejecting their brilliancy at
once. This bedstead, which is perhaps the
only one of the kind ever imagined or at
tempted, has been worked at the imperial

THE PRUTH, so often mentioned of late, is
river of Moldavia, running for the first half of
its course in southeasterly direction, and for
the other half in southerly, till it falls into
the Danube, from 80 TO 80 miles above its
mouth. While the Pruth continues its south
easterly course, it divides ancient Moldavia
nearly in half; after taking its southern direc-
ton, it is the boundary between that principali-
ty and the Russian province of Bessarabia. As
the Russian frontier now extends to the Pruth,
the prncipality of Moldavia is no longer
bounded by the Dneister, as it appears in most
maps, but has the Pruth for its northeastern
boundary and the Russian armies lie, we pre-
sumo, not in Poland, but in that part of Media
via on the left bank of the Pruth, acquired by

to be excavated in front and or Beacon
street, from which to the roof the height
is to be 60 feet. The two wings are to be
respectively 64 feet long and "a wide, and
ITO by 40. The latter will terminate in a
second front on a court opening from Bea-

ends are to be made of Quincy granite

lying on his own valor for safety. In that
turbulent population, he soon became con-
spicuous-and rendered the public eminent
services. When the tyrant Iturbide was pro-
claimed Emperor, Milan unconscious of
fear, was with the first who called aloud for
his disthronement-in consequence of which
he was imprisoned for while, but the pop
ulace broke the jail and delivered him. He
has lived long enough to avenge the injury,
and to assist in bringing the tyrant to the
block. AS reward for his services to
Mexico, he obtained the large grant allud-
ed to. He was born of humble parents, and
reared without education-but he had a
mind, unfettered by any of the prejudices of
birth, or country-and would be as ready
tomorrow to cast his lot among the Scythi-
ans, the Chinese, or the New Hcllanders, as
with the Kentuckians. In other words, he
is truly "a citizen of the World"-and is
an example of the hardy and enterprising
character of our peasantry.

RAILWAYS. From the article Railway" in
the supplement to the Encyclopedias Britann-
ca, the following passages are extracted. On
a well made road, horse will draw one ton in
cart weighing cwt, or about 5000 lbs, at a
rate of about two miles an hour. On railway
of the best construction, he will draw at the
same rate of travelling about Is tons let US
call this 10000 lbs. for the convenience of round
numbers. On canal he will draw about 80
tons in boat weighing Is tons, or about 10000
lbs. Hence, on railroad, the draught Of a
as great as on gooG road Now, railroad
costs about three times, and canal nine times
as much as good road and il is probable that
the expense ofkeeping them in repair is in pro-
portion to original OUTLAWS. 1t is obvious, that
if railroads come into general use, the expenses
of transporting commodities will be about two.
thirds less than on the best roads.
