- an old chief, who appointed hear

sisted of sundry visits to her wigwam,
..many little undefnable attentions and
presents, bunch offeathers, and several
yards of red flannel" This was the
charge. The faithless swain denied
the undefnable attentions in toto. He
had visited her fathers wigwam for
the purpose of passing away time, when
il was not convenient to hunt; and had
giyen the feathers& flannel fromirlend-
y motives, and nothing further. Du-

considered invalid, and the offender
sentenced to give the lady ga yellow

from his nose, and dozen coon skins, :
The sentence was no sooner concluded:
than the squaw sprung upon her feet
and clapping her hands, exclaimed with
10y, now me be ready to court again.

81 think the growing crop of cotton Will
place this section of the country at ease. The
planters have abstained almost entirely from
dealing in the stores, and there are goods e.
nough here to last two years to come. Every
one is aiming to get out Of debt, by selling ev-
ery thing aad buying comparatively nothing.
The signs indicate thatthe time is near at hand
when the balance will be in favor of North
Alabama, instead Of against her, as hereto
fore, produced by extravaganza. No failures
have occurred in Huntsville, nor will there be
any, from the present pressure--our merchants
