 Columbus, (CeO.) Aug. IO.-COl. Harde-
 man Owens, late of this place, was killed on
 Wednesday, the SIst ut. ny party Ot U. 5.
 soldiers. at his residence in the Creek Nation,
 about thirty five miles from this place.
 We have heard different statements Of the
 circumstances connected with this affair :: that,
 however, which seems |" be entitled to most
 credit, is, that the deputy marshal went 10 nus
 house, accompanied by company Of soiolers
 for tlIe purP"se of removing hi" OUt ot the
 Nation. AfteI some arrangements had been
 made as to the time of his leaving, the so'-
 diers having gone on, some dItncuty arose
 between Owens and the Marshal upon
 which the latter rode on and overlook the
 soldiers, and ordered them back, with orders
 tO arrest Owens. a. When they arrived at his house. he was go-
 ing from his house to field some distance of;
 they pursued, and overlook, and shot him. As
 there was no persoWp present hut the soldiers,
 and perhaps the wife of the deceased, 1t IS of
 course difficult, if not impossible, to get an en-
 tlrely correct account Of the affair at this
 stage of it. 1t is-Waid 4,y some. that he was
 shot down while attempting to make his es- cape from them, but the most generally re-
 ceivpd statement is, that spon their approach
 ing him, he drew pistol. and snapped seve-
 raj times at the soldiers, one of them observ-
 ed to him that he had no cap on his pistol;
 he drew out of his packet cap. and fixed it
 "n and raised his pistot, upon which one of
 the soldiers fired and shot him through the
 head. This, we eprrsume, is the statement of
 the soldiers. It is proper to remark, that
 Owens and the Marshal had several dficpl-
 tes during the day. dRring which they had exchanged shots.
 Miieh Coscs.-Thc A merican Farmer, in the course of a long article on inc treat HseRt of cows, mentions the following circu'nstan. ces. It strikes us as being worthy Of the consideration of farmers, md those who keep cows" And, let US remark, good water is as essential to gaod miicif cows good pas ture. We had d coss~tast summer that yield ed five gallons of rich milk a day. She ran ln tolerable pasture, but there was stream Of pure spring water running through it. We also keep salt constantly within her reach.-| The same COW, this summer, in much bet l ter pasture. does not yield three gallons of milk. The reason of this falling of, is, that ,he is supplied with water from pump, occo- 1 'ionatty. when her attendants conceive she wants it-nOt when she thinks she wants it, 1 which is the great point. She also gets salt
 as it happens.'

 1he Coiton Speculation.-We have been in. ormed of various large sums of money, sud ienly made, within the last ten days, ny the treat and unexpected rise in, this article. One ss it did not occur here, we may be to relate.

He had no sooner landed in Liverpool, than he made himselfin few days perfectly familiar with the state of the cotton market. This knowledge. united to lie full acquaintance with the market in this country, satisfied him that rise was about to take place. in Eng- land.
