T osT UF WEAKNESSES Aug 4, Iooo. By letters received at this place, from the Hon. Charles Catdoel, happy to perceive that he is a candidate for the United States Senate.

With the strcest integrity of character he combines great eoquence. untirng perseverance, and practical snow- ledge to an eminent degree. We sincerely trust the Legislature will duly consider his high claims.

A letter states that the Indians having burnt Col. Hal! owes and Dr. Simmons plantations, and all the hous- es in New Switzerland, and after collecting all the horses in the neghborhood, and carrying the punder to swamp about three miles distant for concealmen, remained encamped in scrub just back of the Col's negro houses the whole day. All the Col.'s negroes escaped except one. The Indians told Henry, one who escaped, that they intended remaining till the next day. with the expectation of meeting the whites, who would come against them. They said they came to spill white blood,' and they would do it. They also said that large party would follow them soon, which would carry away the negro women and children, whom the Indians did not molest at a that they intended to 'break up heap of paces;' that 0ceoa was in the nation, and had not been hurt that they intended to permit the whites to fight about year longer.
