human being can telE-tWo millions more nt
 Ieast. As this was Q war tor United States
 Territory alone, the Unreo States should
 have been permitted, ana were permitted to terfersnce onmy part. But your excellencv knows that we have now got into another very respectable Indian war, in which Georgia and Alabama are exclusively interested. Iffhis be conducted as the others have been. if will certainly cost much more, as the Greeks are stronger than the Geminoles four millions nj the very lowest calculation. s.
 Now my proposition is, to takethis war up. if the General Government will pay me eight hundred thousand dollars in good hard mon- ey, (drafts on Pet Banks will not be received.1 \ Twill engage (without any ertra ollosoances ,;( to drive every cfeek out of the two States. in less than six months. Twill just take a co,lDA le of cotton populated Colonels, out of our pine woods, with as many regiments, from our huckleberry swamps, and I'll make every copper faced rascal of an Indian; scamper o,;t of the nation like rabbits from woods afire :. and (you'll close the contract before huckle. berry season is over, that may not have to buy provisional I'll engage that every one of my soldiers gets home, time enough to make crop of peas and potatoes. and with three hundred dollars in his pocket. My boys will give lem none of your wine-drinking, play. dClA1lHS udOC~ClduI~StIOOtNlk R10J u1Gy H give 'en1 swamp for swamp, bush for bush, tree for tree, and give lem .rosuns besides.-- The truth is. friend Hickory. we don't want any important Generals. 10 learn us how to fight Indians. We learned a little about that at Braddock's defeat. Just hand over your war to us cow-driyers, and let us manage it in our own way, and we'll show you thing or two that will tickle you so that you'll not curse any more for week. But Ia you know what we are if we have but half a chance. ' ,A1'& s 2 stsFr- ha@ sl5l 'lsy23
 And look what saving to the Government: All the public shooting-irons saved, all the clothing. all the provisioning. and ree ss' mil I lions, too hundred h0asand dollars besides This is another sortsof contract to your rip raps. Pray let me hear from you immedi- ately. E'"' Y 2i g.ts BOB SHORT. ! \ P. s. Ihope you'll let me have the refusal of the Seminole war. I'll take that at half price-four hundred thousand. 'o !.

 Melancholy.--Mrs. Martha, (aged % years) wife of Mir. Ephraim Batchelder, of this city, was drowned in Casco Bay. on Monday last. As we gather the facts from MT. B. they are as follows: Himself and the deceased were in small sail boat, when by some accident, the boat upset. succeeded in grasping his wife, and in fighting the boat several times For two hours. he thinks, he sustained himself and wife, by the aid of the boat--which, be- ing full of water. was a most precarious SUD- port. But his extraordinary exertions did not avail his unfortunate wife. He was compel. led to see her perish, notwithstanding his ex- traordinary efforts. Al the expiration of a. bout two hours, from the time the boat upset, Mrs. B. died, from terror and fatigue But, though she had perished, he still supported her iifeless body, an hour and half longer --that her friends might, if by chance he should be rescued, have the melancholy sat- isfaction of performing the last duties'to her remains. His herculean powers, and heroic devotion did not avail. He could sustain her no longer r-and She foated away from his grasp. On being asked if there was no other Person in the boat. he replied, snothing else at all but a poor dog and once when the bo- dy of my wife escaped from my hold and was floating away, he swam after it and bro't it back!' MT. E. gradually foated towards the shore-but from cold and exhaustion be- came senseless before he reached it. When he recovered his senses, he found himself up- on the beach--the tide receding- -and his boat rod or two from him. .-P Portland Argus. a
 Most Singular and Horrid Death. h.-The his tory of accidents for fifty years past does not furnish a parallel for the one we are about to relate. Mrs. Catherine Harris, who has re- sided for several years past at the English Neighborhood, and has been living recently atthe house of Mrs. Sedors. upon Bulls Fer. ry Hill. was found on Friday morning last suspended by one of her feet from the bed room window, quite dead. hHa taes
 She had been in the habit of using opium for several years past, but of which she had been deprived lRtterly, by whom we know not. On Thurday night last she retired to bed as usual, but was heard by some of the family to rise shortly after, and walk about the room. It supposed that her melancholy death was owing to her deprivation of opium, which produced delirium tremens, and that in attempting to jump from the window, the sash fell and caught one of her feet, by which she was suspended. when hsr lifelcss body was discovered on the following morning. .A She was nearly 7S years ofage-M Y. pa.
