Peyton from the face of Tennessee. Pevton is no longer a candidate. w. B. Campbell (Whig) will take his place. Dunlap, ~. B.) in all probability, will have leave to stay at home. Crockett (David's boy) is running another Whig, Hughes, in his fathers Dis trict, the Van Buren men leaving them an open field. Crockett, it is said, will carry the day. We are sorry to see the Wings are somewhat divided on the Gubernatorial aues- tion. Cannon (Whig) runs Gen. Armstrong, who it seems to be intended to smuggle in, as a.Van Buren man, under no party coIors, and who led the Tennesseeans in the Florida campaign.

 Important from West Floridd.-Intelligence has just been received by gentleman from Marianna, that another battle had taken place between the whites and Indians, in which the latter were defeated with severe slaughter-number not ascertained. The loss on the part of the whites was five killed and several wounded.
 From all accounts we are led to apprehend serious difficulties the ensuing fall from the Creek and Black Water Indians, who are now prowling about the uninhabited parts of West Florida, near the heads of Escambia and Black Water Bays, to about 800 strong. The Creeks are some of those who former ly lived in the upper part of the nation, who have been driven out of the country around us, by the indefatigable Wellborn, and hav ing joined themselves to the hitherto friendly tribes about Black Water Bay, are awaiting the completion of their crops, to take the field with renewed hostility and vigor.

A second edition of Dapid and UriGh lately came off in Boston, the tragedy part omitted. One David Watson, having fancy to the wife of Uriah Higgins, coaxed the lady from her husband somewhat after the fashion of the "sweet Psalmist of Israel"-he who cracked the sconce of the great Goliah.- This modern David did not, however, make way with the husband, as was the case with his namesake. Uriah therefore gave him a good thrashing, when David had him brought before the Police Court, and fined $5 for his assurance.-N Y. Sun.

The body of logs float ed, hauled and piled to form a dam over one outlet only, would have required, without the aid of steam, the labor of an army for years: dead trees of solid timber 10 to IS feet in cir conference, are torn out of the beds in which they have been resting for ages, sawed up and disposed of as though they were but walking sticks!

IT is NOT HARD TO DIE.
ooh mother, say, must we all die
You, sister, dear papa, and l
l do not like to think l shall
Lie in the deep, dark grave, so still.
Mother, I'm fond of life and play,
And like not to be borne away
From the green fields, and pleasant light,
To lie where it is always night"
"Como hither, child, and thou shalt place
Within the earth, in yonder vase,
This grain"
"Oh, it is smooth and round
Mother, put not in the ground
This pretty grain"
"Do it, my love;
For, by this seed, wish to prove,
Thatit is not so hard to die,
And in the deep, dark grave to lie"
"Iiow sweet a fragrance fills the room
Mother, your flowers are now in bloom
And oh how beautiful they seem,
While standing in the bright sunbeam
Mother, I'm glad you made me place
That smooth round seed within this vase;
For, more delighted, now see
The blossoms on this pretty tree,
Which from that buried grain has sprung"
:" lis thus, my love, with children young,
And loved of God; their bodies die,
And, like that grain, in earth must lie
But, like this flower, from thence shall rise,
"A form of beauty in the skies,-
Which, quickly sprnging from the tomb,
In Paradise shall ever bloom"
