Eight quarto pages, at 81, in advance
The present proprietols Of the Gem and
Ladies' Amulet have procured new tvpp, and
design to make the eighth volume still more
worthy the patronage Of those who have so
long sustained it. Without making any
very high pretenSions, we shall endcavor to
offer sufficient inducements to literary men
in this region OF country, to make our col
umnS, in part at least, the medium of their
communications 10 the public, at the same
time that fostering care will be extended
to youthful and native genius. II no more
successful than our predecessors, we shall
be able, as they have been, to occupy rea-
sonabe proportion OF each number with
original matter.
In making selection, we shall aim at Gull
ing the choicest pernassian flowers from
modern writers and standard works, as well
as pieces in prose OF a useful and entertaining
character. One point we wish to have dis
tlnctly understood. Nothing OF sectarian
or controversial kind will find admttance so
far as ordinary care can guard against it.
Each number shall contain at least one sto-
ry or tale, and in this department we shall
generally have regard 10 a good practical
moral, as well as exciting incidents.
AS to the permanency OF the work we
have no fears. There are paying subscri-
bers enough to support il, and we have had
too much experience in such matters to
drain off our life blood by sending long to
those who nerer pay. The terms will be the

reminded the patient that he now
had need of all his courage; for he
was the captain of the gang, who
would make the more obstinate re-
sistance than anv of the others.
The shock was, at this time, so
strong as to extend the demoniac
on the floor.
"Now are they gone!" said the
Doctor, and ordered the farmer to
be put to bed.
On recovering himself, the latter
declared he was completely cured ;
he paid the nine louis d'ors with
abundance of thanks, and returned
in the best spirits to the village.

A PARODY ON OLD LANG sYNE.


tSung at the Simultaneous Temperance Meeting, ]
Let drinking rum now be forgot,
And never brought to mind;
Let drinking rum now be forgot,
And cider, beer and wine.
For rum and beer we pay full dear,
With rosy nose and eyes;
Wen take glass of water now,
For sure we'er growing wise.
Now we can sing, the god of wine
Shall conquer us no more,
We'ell wheel about and victry shout,
The conquest now is DER.
And we would hurl this poison far,
That desoIates our cline;
We would engage christian and sage
To Danish beer and wine.
Nor ground your arms my trusty friends,
For caution sure is right,
Your vigils keep nor think to sleep,
But watch both day and night.
For though we now have signed the pledge,
And victory seems ours,
Yet some may try the ranks to fly,
And join opposing powers.
Let Arnold's fame e'er mark the name
OF him who quits his post;
But those who stand with sword in hand
We sure shall honor most.

A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE
"a CULTURE OF SILK, adapted TO
the Climate and Soil of the United States.
BY f. G.. CoMsTocK, Secretary of the Hart
ford County silk Society, and Editor of
the Silk CuIturist. Illustrated by Engra-
wings.
The interest in all parts of the United
States in the Culture and Manufacture
silk, manifested by the constant calls for
information on the subject, has induced
the publisher to have prepared a plain
Practical Treatise on the Cultivation of the
Mulberry and Rearing Silk Worms, adap-
ted 10 the Soil and Climate of this county
and to the wants of plain practical men.
The Practical Culturist in this country
needs directory adapted TO the Soil on
which he plants his trees, and the Climate
in which he roars his worms, without ref
erence TO Soils and Climates less congenial
to their growth. 1t has been therefore the
object of the author to makca treatise,
strictly practical, emitting nothing of i'm
pol lance and adding nothing of a useless
or cXtaneous character.
A. making the raw material into Sew
ing Silk and Twist is veg profitable to-
the Silk grower, all necessary information
for that purpose will he given.
This work is in Press and will soon be
published in a duodecimo of about 100
pages, in handsome binding-prce so
cents. A part of the edition will he put
up in elastic covers TO be forwarded by
mail.
Editors of Newspapers who will give
the above three insertions, with this notice,
and forward their paper with the adver-
tiscment marked, shall he entitled to n

Another Indian Battle.
CHARLESTON, MARCH 9,

CHARLESTON, MARCH 9.
The schr. $. s. Nils, Capt. Southwick,
arrived here yesterday, morning from St.
Augustine, by which vessel we received the
St. Augustine Herald of the I'd instant. 1t
contains the following account of most Sc.
we're engagement between General Gaines
and the Indians and also gives information
that the remains OF the gallant detachment
OF U. ). troops under the command of Ma
lor DaGe, who we're mastered by the H..
dams, had been discovered, and were de-.
Gently buried by their comrades in arms.
"An express arrived here from Picolata
this afternoon, from whom we learn that II
was currently reported there, that Gen. q.
had had battle at or near the Wthlacoo.
chez, on his return; that the first dav, the
troops and the Indians were on opposite
sides of the river, and that on the night of
the third day, the Indians attacked the camp
OF Gen. Games, and that there had been 40
of our troops killed and wounded. We be-.
heve the report to be true, though we have
no knowledge from official sources.
"P. S.-Slnce writing the above we learn
officially, that Gen. Gaines had been at.
tackled on the night of the 29th February,
BY about 1900 Indians as he supposes, and
after two hours hard fighting he succeeded
in beating them oil The loss on our side
is 4 killed and 20 wounded, among the lat.
ter TWO officers. Gen. Gaines is in dan.
gerous situation to use his own expression,
"his wounded are increasing, and his horses
decreasing" He is short of provisions, aud
en,renched and surrounded by the enemy"
We have been favored with the sight of
several letters from ST. Augustine, which
give some further details of the above en-.
gagement, the substance of which we give,
without vouching for the correctness, as the
accounts appear to be much confused.
One letter says Gen. Gaines had been
two DAYS engaged with the Indians $500
in NUMBER at WlthIacoochee-that, in con.
sequence of being short of ammunition, he
was loading his field pieces with trace chains,
and firing them at the Indians with tire.
mendous elfect-aud that he had sent to
Gen. Clinch for reinforcement, who could
not grant it, without orders from Gen. Scott.
Another letter states that between = and
300 OF the Indians had been killed, when
the express left Fort Drane, and the en-.
gagement still continued-that Gen. Games
had written TO Gen. CGuch, to send him 800
mounted men and provisions, and he would
put an end to the war.
A postscript to this letter informs that six
