GALLANT AFFAIR.-Captain Hooker on
The Lower Suwannee few days since,
finding the opposite bank in possession oil
about so Indians, crossed over with nine
men 10 attack them. AS he landed, two
of his men were shot down - one with nine
balls. the other with five. With bis re-
naming men. he boldly charged on the
enemy. While thus engaged, bis boat
got adrift, and he was lelt with no alter
native but victory OF death. After close
and deathly contest Of some minutes, the
savages were routed with much loss.
ASoTHER GALLANT AFFAIR.-On the
18th inst. Colonel Parish at the head oil
two hundred volunteers from this district.
composed OF the companies of Captains
Aston. Bellamy, and Caswell, had a sharp
encounter with large body Of Indians
The attack commenced with the advan !.
ccd guard under Capt Bethany, who bad
been allowed by the enemy to pass their
main body. Col. Parish Immediately has
tened forward TO bis support, when sud.
denly he was attacked on both TANKS by
the enemy placed in ambush, The vo-
lunteers made an unsuccessful attempt to
charge on horseback. They were then
dismounted and formed in admirable or
der. They then charged upon the enemy
in manner worthy of veterans. 10 the
mean time. Capt Bethany having routed
the attacking party opposite TO him, fell
back upon the main body
The enemy was soon forced to take
shelter in thicket. BY this time, night
was coming on, it was not thought pru
dent TO follow them, where the localities of
the place and darkness would have given
them great advantages. Our men rested on
their arms in the open woods, prepared to
renew the action at day light, but during
the night, the savages effected retreat.
Their loss must have been considerable,
as six dead bodies were counted in one
part of the field of battle. Two days after
Col Parish marched for Fort King. and
arrived there in safety. He then procee-
ded TO Powells Town and destroyed it,
The volunteers then returned to For.

Among the interesting papers in the last
number Of LitteI's Museum, is one from
the London Court Journal, giving "per
soma recolectlons Of the late Charles Mat.
thews." Sir Walter Scott, says the remin
iscent, was the only one Of the many dis
tinguished men with whom Matthews as
ISOLATED. of whose intimacy he was proud.
Matthews visited Scott several times al
Abboltsford. and related q circumstance
which exhibits in the great novelist an ex
t!aordnary power over his own mind
Scott one morning took Matthews into his
private study where he rote, and in the
course Of conversation pointed to two mau-
uscripts lying upon two separate writing
stands, saying that he generally wrote
standing, and often on two different works
at the same time; that is, that he went
from one 10 the other. backwards and for
wurds, without mlnnlc's interval between
his application TO each, and that he found
the alienation to lnvigorate and refresh,
rather than fatigue or confuse him. This
took place long before Scott had avowed
himself to b. the author of the Waverly
novels, and 's cited by Matthews as one Of
the scveral proof, presunptive which fell
under ms observation that he was the au.
thor of them.

P. S. He wishes to call the attention of
the economical. to the fuel and labor, So :
wing properties of the Rotary Store. and its
peculiar adaptation as a Summer Cooking
Store. By the use of the CRATE, very
small amount of fuel is required for the
culinary operations of any family less BY
one half it is believed, than is required by
any other Stove 10 use. Its form and
height is such that it admits of being pla
ced in the fire places of ordinary kitchens,
so that most of the heat and eflluva from il
passes off by the chimney. The saving Of
fuel effected bv the Improved Rotary, in
one year, over that of almost any other
Cooking Stove, is fully equal to It's cost.
besides the superior facility and care with
which the several culinary operations are
performed with it.
Also, Tea and Marlin Kettles of various
